Chapter 5âSean has the last name Lennon too. I wonder if he had anything to do with that man...â As soon as Quill said this, Fion laughed with disdain. âIf Sean has anything to do with someone like that, I, Fion Wilson, will get on my knees and beg him to be the son-in-law of the Quinn family!â Fionâs face was disdainful, and her tone was sarcastic. âThen what position did he hold in the army? I donât think heâs that simple.â As the young master of the Zimmer family, Quill thought things more thoroughly than Fion. âPosition?â âIf he retired after being enlisted for a few years, he must have more than one hundred thousand dollars in retirement pay.â âWell, all he has are old clothes, an old sword, and an old suitcase. The bank card inside had no money either.â âI also saw a box of pins. I wonder if he was a cook in the army?â âTell me, what could he be?â After Fion said this, Quill was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud. âYeah. No matter how lowly he was, he must at most had some retirement pay! âHe has nothing. I guess heâs just a pig farmer. Iâm just overthinking things.â Quill was immediately relieved and laughed. âDonât worry. He canât do anything even if he has recovered. âIâll find a way to kick him out. Then you can come to Quinn Residence and propose.â Fion glanced at Quill and immediately said what Quill wanted to do the most. âOkay! Okay!â Quill rubbed his hands together in excitement and asked, âSo what do we do next?â âWillow is only engaged to him. They didnât get married, so theyâre not husband and wife. âWillow took him in despite everyoneâs objections because she felt sorry for him. Now that he has recovered, we can no longer keep him in the Quinn family. âIâll bring it up in front of all the members of the Quinn family at Old Madam Quinnâs birthday in two days. Willow will have to say yes no matter what.â Fion snorted coldly. Her tone was very confident. âOkay! I will wait for the good news, Aunt Fion. Hehe.â Quill rubbed his palms together, his face beaming with excitement. Fion was very pleased with Quill, of course. The Zimmer family, to which Quill belonged, was extremely famous in the whole River City. If they could get connections to the Zimmer family, the Quinn family would surely regain their former glory. She, Fion Wilson, would be the hero of the Quinn family with the greatest contribution. ... Two days later. River City Dragon Splendour Hotel. âGod bless the Quinn family. May we continue to flourish for centuries!â All the Quinn family were gathered in an upscale private room. Today was Old Madam Quinnâs seventieth birthday, and everyone in the Quinn family had come to the birthday party. Besides the Quinn family, some of the most influential families in River City were here too. The Quinn family had been in decline and became a third-rate family since Leviâs death. However, even a scrawny camel was bigger than a horse, and they were still respected. Old Madam Quinn sat at the main table, with several tables around her filled with people. âGrandma, Iâm sorry weâre late...â Just then, the private room door opened, and Willow wheeled Sean in. Old Madam Quinn glanced at Willow but did not answer. âYo, you remembered to come.â âI thought someone had forgotten Grandmaâs birthday.â Willowâs cousin Faye Quinn rolled her eyes. Faye was jealous of Willowâs beauty and grew up hating her. âHaha, we mustnât forget our roots.â âI think some people have forgotten their roots, donât they? Without grandma, we wouldnât be here.â Simon Quinn, a member of the Quinn family, also curled his lips. All of a sudden, everyone in the Quinn family started discussing. They were all criticizing Willow. Except for Willowâs parents and Old Madam Quinn, everyone else was criticizing her. Even though some of River Cityâs rich and influential families were present as well, they did not care. The Quinn family had been the joke of River City ever since they took in Sean, a crippled and foolish loser, two years ago. It was all because of Sean. âGrandma, Sean has trouble moving around, so we took some time...â Willow explained gently. âHave a seat.â Old Madam Quinn said lightly as she interrupted her with a wave of her hand. âWe werenât waiting for you anyway.â Faye added a whisper as she touched the diamante on her manicure. Willow lowered her head slightly and wheeled Sean inside. âI just saw. Did you bring the veg here too?â As if they had just seen Sean, everyone in the Quinn family asked in surprise. âThe Quinn family is here for Grandmaâs birthday today, and he canât eat by himself at home.â Willowâs face turned a little red. She had no idea whether she should stand or sit. It was as if she had become a clown to everyone. âAre you out of your mind?â Fion got up from the seat nearby and walked over to Willow and asked in a whisper. âHavenât you disgraced our family enough? How dare you bring him here? âItâs Old Madamâs birthday today, and many of River Cityâs influential families are here. What are you up to?â Fion scolded Willow under her breath. Sean watched everything from his wheelchair. Everyone here, whether from the Quinn family or the influential families in River City... They were looking condescendingly at Willow and Sean. âHaha. Heâs just a f*cking veg.â Simon curled his lip and sneered. People at several tables burst into laughter. Fion blushed harder while Willow was battered like a boat in a storm. âThe Quinn family was once one of the prestigious families of River City. âThereâs a reason theyâre now a third-rate family.â Suddenly, a voice rang slowly.
