She wanted to gain control of her destiny through her own efforts and give herself and Sean a chance.However, Sean was now telling her to give up.It made Willow feel even more helpless and heartbroken."Okay! Let's go."Willow remained silent for nearly two minutes before clenching her teeth and nodding.Her eyes dimmed as she finally came to terms with reality.She had done everything she could, but she could not decide the result."Mr. Lennon, hold on. I have something to tell you."Since Mr. Homer Larson referred you to me, I must give him some face."Harry called out softly to Sean.Willow turned to glance at Sean.She and Sean were no more than strangers now.Willow also knew that the Quinn family would soon force her to marry the Zimmer family.There was no way she could be with Sean if so."Sean, take good care of yourself."Later..."Willow clenched her teeth slightly. She might never have the chance to take care of Sean again."Got it."Sean nodded gently.
"No way, of course!"Quill shook his head repeatedly. Willow could not even meet Harry, but she wanted to negotiate with Reach For Will Group?She must be dreaming."You're so ruthless!"You're even ignoring the Quinn family to get benefits from me."Quill glanced at Simon and smiled meaningfully."Haha! You're too kind, Young Master Zimmer."As the saying goes, 'Ruthlessness is the mark of a truly great man'. The Quinn family isn't mine."But the benefit you give is real, and it belongs to me alone."Simon's eyes twinkled with greed."Okay! Hahaha!"Simon was also smiling, his eyes full of joy.Did Willow want to work it out and become the head of the Quinn family?It was basically impossible.Everyone in the Quinn family, including Quill, was waiting for Willow to accept her fate after tomorrow....Reach For Will Group.Sean was ready to leave Reach For Will Group after arranging everything for Harry.Zander now followed Sean around like a bodyguard.However, Harr
At night.Willow's home.After returning from Reach For Will Group, Willow had been staying in Sean's room.Fion made dinner and brought it to Willow's room.However, when Fion came in two hours later, the food was still untouched."Girlie, how could you not eat?"Fion was so heartbroken that she sat at the bedside with Willow.Willow just sat there without saying a word with a photo in her hand.It was Sean in the photo, and it was the only photo of him."Mom, do you remember?"I had Sean photographed when I wheeled him for a walk along the river."You said I was wasting money at the time."Willow looked at the photo and murmured to herself.In the photo, Sean was sitting quietly in his wheelchair, staring at the river in the distance.He might not be very handsome in the profile shot, but he was easy on the eyes. When Willow saw Sean's photo, it calmed her down.Fion froze, took the photo out of Willow's hand, and put it in her pocket after taking a glance."Girlie,
She was still living for herself right now.She would no longer live as herself and would only live for the Quinn family from now on.Willow wrapped her arms around her knees and wept silently.After a while, Willow suddenly got up, her tearful eyes exuding a strong determination."I can still do whatever I want today."Let me do whatever I want one last time!"No one knew what Willow was thinking right now.However, there seemed to be a touch of madness in her determined eyes.It was the kind of madness you got after losing all hope of life.Willow cleaned up Sean's room in no time.Willow put some of Sean's clothes and daily necessities into a storage box.Willow changed her clothes and drove toward the neighborhood where Golden Villa Garden was located with these things....Golden Villa Garden.Willow was not new to this area.Besides, even the villa was under Willow's name.Therefore, she had no trouble getting here.However, someone immediately informed Sean.Wh
Willow's graceful body was so close that he could touch it.A faint fragrance poured into Sean's nose.Willow was afraid to look at Sean. She put her palms on her knees, rubbing them back and forth.She seemed to be struggling with something as if nervous."Willow, you..."Sean was about to say something, but Willow stretched out her little hand and gently covered his mouth."Don't talk. Say nothing."Willow covered Sean's mouth with her soft hand and brought her body closer to Sean again.The beautiful face, which had enticed so many men in River City, was getting closer and closer to Sean's face.Sean froze slightly. He had fought on the battlefield and killed countless enemies. He had experienced life and death during his eight years on the battlefield.However, when had he ever experienced such a thing?Sean's face turned slightly red.The two looked at each other. As the distance between them shortened, they closed their eyes at the same time.Swoosh!Sean felt Willo
"Believe me, what you fear won't happen."And I hope you will willingly give yourself to me."Sean never considered himself a gentleman.However, he was sure he did not like Willow just for her body."There's no time. There's no time."Willow hugged Sean again without stopping.Just then, someone rang the villa doorbell.The sound brought Sean and Willow back to their senses.Willow slowly sat upright before walking to the French window and saw Rachel standing outside the front door."Rae?"Willow saw Rachel and sobered up.At the same time, she had mixed feelings.'Is Rachel so close to Sean now?'How dare she come to see Sean in the middle of the night?'"Then I'll leave you two alone."Willow was silent for a few seconds before speaking to Sean. Then she turned and walked away.Sean wanted to explain, but he did not know where to start, so he could only shake his head in resignation.Willow met Rachel at the door, and Rachel froze too.Instead of her usual resolute
"She doesn't know what's good for her."Faye sneered, her face scornful.No one dared to take it upon themselves the responsibility, but Willow had the nerve to take it.Now, she had to suffer the consequences."What's the matter? Judging from what you're saying, do you not want the Quinn family to resolve their crisis?"Old Madam Quinn heard their discussion and looked at Simon and the others with a stoic face."Ahem..."Simon quickly looked down and stopped smiling.The others picked up their teacups and drank as if it had nothing to do with them.There were things they all knew, but it would be very inappropriate to speak them out loud."Grandma, don't criticize us."Faye curled her lip slightly before walking up behind Old Madam Quinn and massaging her gently on the shoulder."You and I know that it's impossible."We saw Reach For Will Group's attitude toward the Quinn family. How is Willow going to solve it?"Old Madam Quinn fell silent as Faye said this."Let her n
“Willow, here you are.”Although Old Madam Quinn did not stand up, she still greeted Willow.Willow paused, looked at the Quinn family, who were with different expressions, and exhaled softly.When she was a child, she regarded these people as her closest relatives.However, now these relatives joined forces to push her down the path she did not want to take.Moreover, Willow knew that what these people said to her was actually not really for her good, but was for their own benefit.At this time, the eyes of these so-called relatives were gleaming with anticipation as they regarded her as a bargaining chip that could be exchanged for huge benefits.This made Willow feel even more disappointed.“Whew!”Willow exhaled softly and removed the messy thoughts in her mind.After all, her surname was Quinn.As a member of the Quinn family, she had the obligation and responsibility to make the Quinn family better and better.Compared with the future of the Quinn family, her happines
"Even if you haven't stepped into the legendary Transcendence Realm yet, you're already capable enough to overpower most martial artists! Mr. Lennon, you've possessed such strength at your age. You'll surely enter that legendary realm one day!" Adam exclaimed.He had practiced diligently day after day for decades, yet he was only a Beginner Great Grandmaster. Even so, he was one of the most talented martial artists among several generations of Greendom Chapel members. However, that talent was as different as night and day compared to Sean.Sean was now only in his 20s, yet he already possessed the strength to rival the supreme priest who had passed away.There were no other people as strong as Sean in the entire Dragon Kingdom."Alright, stop flattering me. I'll have someone transfer 500 million to you later. You can use it to improve Greendom Chapel's current situation. When the time comes, I'll accompany you to meet that man from Melode Cathedral," Sean said with a smile as he sh
"Mr. Lennon, you also know how strong that old priest is. We Catholics only have the supreme priest who could rival him. Now that the supreme priest has passed away, that old priest has become even more arrogant..." Sean nodded slightly and sighed before expressing his regret. "It's a pity about the supreme priest.""Human life has its limitations. The path of martial arts is long and arduous. Few people in history have been able to reach the legendary Transcendence Realm." Adam sighed as well. He had already reached Great Grandmaster Realm that countless martial artists dreamed of. Even so, there were opponents he could not defeat and problems he could not solve."Mr. Lennon, since you're willing to leave that calligraphy in Greendom Chapel, you must have some history with Greendom Chapel. I wonder if you can tell me," Adam finally said after a moment of silence.Adam was the former chaplain of Greendom Chapel, but he had gone into seclusion to further advance himself after stepp
A Christian refers to a follower of Jesus Christ who might be a Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, or follower of another branch of the religion. A Catholic was a Christian who followed the Catholic religion transmitted through the succession of Popes, who were leaders of the Catholic church. Thus, All Roman Catholics were Christian, but not all Christians were Roman Catholic. The difference in beliefs had put the two in conflict."Could it be that their conflict has reignited? Didn't a Catholic priest warn those donkeys?" Sean asked with a frown.Adam nodded slightly and sighed before slowly replying, "It's just as you said. After the passing of Tiger Mountain's supreme priest, Christians often gave us Catholics a hard time. Now, not only are chaplains from all over Dragon Kingdom affected, but even Greendom Chapel has gotten into this situation."Most chaplains and churches relied on donations from their followers for their income. Once they lost this source of income, chaplains and
Meanwhile, a daunting aura rose from the old chaplain.The Brown brothers’ expressions instantly changed, even being forced back three steps by the pressure from the old chaplain before barely stopping.Willow's eyes filled with panic. She felt like she had encountered a mortal enemy and had her life on the line.Sean's gaze focused before he immediately reached out to hold Willow."Cut that intimidating aura out. Who are you trying to scare?" Sean snapped as he looked at the old chaplain.However, the old chaplain's kind demeanor changed. He stared solemnly at Sean and asked, "I'm asking who you are.""Who am I? Is my calligraphy in Greendom Chapel gone?" Sean replied indifferently.The old chaplain froze in place as if struck by lightning."What? The old chaplain is from Greendom Chapel? How is that possible… Greendom Chapel is a nationally renowned holy place. H-How could one of their chaplains be selling counterfeit goods here?" Willow exclaimed. Her hands covered her mouth
The smile on the old chaplain's face instantly froze. He looked awkwardly at Sean and stammered, "L-Look at my age. How could I engage in deceitful acts? God... I've lived a righteous life. I didn't expect to be so misunderstood in my twilight years..."Seeing the old chaplain's pitiful expression, Willow could not help but feel sorry for him.However, Sean looked disdainfully at the old chaplain before saying with a smile, "Sir, perhaps being an actor suits you better than being a chaplain."The old chaplain's acting skills were impeccable. He might even win a prize if he attended some award ceremony. With his white beard and the slightly worn-out robe that had turned somewhat faded, others might indeed mistake Sean for misunderstanding the old chaplain."Sir, you can't say such things! I've lived an honest life. You can't just tarnish my reputation!" The old chaplain pleaded earnestly, looking at Sean.Ignoring the old chaplain, Sean picked up a vase from the stall before him. W
Sean glanced at Elton and Bernie beside him and said with a smile. Elton and Bernie scratched their heads awkwardly and beamed. "After we finish browsing Antiques Street, let's head to the new company office together and get acquainted with it. At least we won't end up not knowing where our company is in the future."Daniel and his brothers immediately nodded.Then, the group continued to stroll through Antiques Street. However, Antiques Street had been around for so many years, and each stall was run by shrewd peddlers, who made it increasingly difficult to find hidden treasures.Even with Sean's keen eye, he had not come across a genuine antique after strolling through Antiques Street for so long. All he saw were counterfeit antiques that looked authentic.After another ten minutes or so, Sean suddenly stopped in his tracks.Not far away, an old man with white hair in a black robe opened up a large bag of items and placed the items on the ground. He then took out a small sto
Willow held Sean's arm, her face filled with happiness.Sean scanned the surroundings of the street stalls with a smile, searching for genuine antiques. The Brown brothers quietly followed Sean. With the Brown brothers standing behind Sean like bodyguards, the street peddlers who had heard about suckers in Antiques Street were now hesitant to make any sudden moves."Mr. Lennon, I heard this place is full of scammers. You wouldn't want to ruin your reputation here," Daniel reminded with a chuckle.Sean glanced at him and replied flatly, "Come on. Would my reputation be ruined in such a small place? Check out the two little trinkets Willow bought for only 500 dollars. If we auction them off, I can make at least 20 million dollars!"Daniel and his brothers paused and turned to look at the hairpin and the ring Willow was holding.Seeing the three men interested in the items, Willow stopped and handed the hairpin and ring to Daniel. "Feel free to take a look."Since they were Sean's
It was normal to pay others for their service. Sean only gave them 10 thousand dollars when he had made 20 million dollars a while ago. Ten thousand was just a drop in the bucket. Daniel and his brothers swiftly made their way through Antiques Street, soon spotting Sean and Willow. Sensing someone approaching, Sean immediately turned around to look. Sean smiled when he saw the Brown brothers."Mr. Lennon! Mrs. Lennon!" Daniel and his brothers greeted respectfully when they arrived before Sean and Willow. Willow felt slightly embarrassed at being called "Mrs. Lennon" and only nodded slightly before looking elsewhere. Sean nodded with a smile. Fortunately, this part of Antiques Street was relatively isolated with few people around. Otherwise, Daniel and his brothers' sudden appearance would attract attention."Mr. Lennon, you spotted us from so far away. Your abilities are admirable!" Daniel lamented.Sean shook his head with a smile and said flatly, "Martial arts is all a
"Don't be offended. Mr. Lennon also instructed us to watch over these three guys here," Bobby answered with a smile, not mentioning that they were hired earlier to mess with Sean for 3 thousand dollars.The four men standing before them were burly and not easy to mess with. Bobby would not foolishly tell them he had tried to trouble Sean."Is that so? How can we be sure you're not associated with these two?" Daniel asked hostilely as he raised his eyebrows skeptically.Bobby and his henchmen's expressions immediately changed, fear evident in their eyes. Bobby quickly pulled out his phone, showed the transaction record of Sean's payment, and said, "Look, look! This is the record of the money Mr. Lennon just wired me!"Zander glanced at it, confirming the identities of the three men in front of him as the same ones Sean had mentioned on the phone."I'll take these two back to the company. You three can find Mr. Lennon and help him out with any troubles," Zander said solemnly.Dan
