Chapter 250

Whatever Sean Lennon said had some underlying meaning in it.

However, Willow would never be able to understand it, since she had never considered the possibility that Rachel Summers would know Sean.

“Okay, since you don’t wanna tell me, I won’t force you.

“Rest earlier, okay?”

Willow helped Sean onto his bed and walked out of the room.

At that moment, watching Willow’s leaving figure, Sean really wanted her to give Rachel a call so she could confirm his identity.

However, Sean swallowed his words and shook his head as he discarded that thought.

So what if he could confirm his identity, with him being like this?

He was once the highest–ranking commander in the army, but that was in the past.

Other than Zander Young, he could not give orders to anyone right now.

Even if he could confirm his identity, it would just be meaningless.

It was no use to Sean right now, it could not give Sean any assistance, it also could not give Willow anything.

There was no need to confirm his identity.

Probably when Rachel was back, Sean at that time would have already been fully recovered back to his peak self.

When that time comes, Sean would be the true nine–star commander.

At that time, he would not need to explain anything.

When the hundred thousand of personal guards come to River City to welcome Sean back, everything would be crystal clear then.

The next day.

In a club in River City.

Herbert Zael sat in his place, his facial expression was getting gradually stonier as he thought unhappily.

He did not have a good night’s sleep last night.

First thing in the morning, Herbert had gathered his men at a club for some face–to–face discussion.

“Say, how did that cripple escape death from Mr. Wallace‘s prip?

“I was still dreaming to see him being beaten hall to death, then I can get closer to Willow in the meantime.

“I never would liave thought that he would leave unscathed!”

Herbert tried to think of a reasonable explanation for it, but he failed to understand what happened.

“Brother Herbert, didn‘t Jay Bennett say it?

“That cripple must have knelt and pleaded Mr. Wallace for forgiveness, then Mr. Wallace let him go.

“If not, why did Sean insist that campus belle Quinn and the rest should leave first? He didn‘t wanna lose his dignity in front of campus belle Quinn, right?”

Herbert‘s troopers snickered scornfully as they spoke.

After hearing that, Herbert thought that it made sense.

If not, this matter was something that was completely unexplainable.

If lowly trash with no background like Sean Lennon did not kneel before Mr. Wallace, he would never be able to walk out of Blue Bay Club alive.

“F*ck! How dare he act all high and mighty before us before that!

“It‘s all just for show! You know, maybe the moment we left was the exact moment he groveled before Mr. Wallace.”

Herbert grabbed a glass of red wine and downed it.

“The audacity for him to be so arrogant, claiming that he would destroy Jay Bennett‘s family‘s establishments!

“I wanna f*cking laugh when I hear him boast.”

The more the men spoke, the more scornful thiey sounded.

“Say, where‘s Jay? Why isn‘t he here yet?

“I‘ve personally asked for him lo come. How dare he be late?”

Displeasure flashed in Herbert‘s eyes at the mention of Jay.

“I know, right? Before this, once brother Herbert speaks, Jay would run lere faster than anyone else.

“Why is he later than brother Herbert today?”

The rest were puzzled as they challered.

Suddenly, the phone that Herbert had placed on the table started vibrating vigorously.

When Herbert picked it up, it was Jay.

“Hey, why aren‘t you here yet?”

Herbert answered the phone and his tone was impatient.

“... Brother Herbert, I don‘t think I can make it, I‘m just calling to let you know.”

Jay, who was on the other end of the phone call sounded very down.

“What‘s the matter?”

Herbert frowned when he heard Jay‘s tone.

“My dad‘s company signed a contract earlier on but now, the other party found out that we‘ve been putting up inserior products instead of top–quality ones as per contract and they‘re ready to take us to court.

“According to the breach clause in the contract, we liave to pay five times the penalty for breach of contract for compensation...”

Jay sighed, his tone was devastated.

The Bennett family and their clients have been in partnership for a very long time.

Both parties understood the nooks and crannies of each other‘s business fairly well.

They were also understanding when they knew about the little things that the Bennett family were doing to get more profit, but as long as they did not cross a certain threshold, they kept quiet about it.

However, this time, the clients were oddly unreasonable and went berserk as they sought to speak with Jay‘s father urgently since yesterday night.

As of today, a few of the clients had come logether to demand compensation.

The combination of 5 times compensation penalty for several clients was an enormous amount, and it was an amount that the Bennett family would not be able to afford, even if they sold everything they had!

Other than declaring bankruptcy, they had no other choice.

Just as they were still stuck in a dilemma, a few VIPS had visited the Bennett family.

There were about twenty of them, all clad in imposing outfits, scaring the wits out of the entire Bennett family.

“We’ve received reports that your products were harmful, falsely advertised and it’s causing a disruption to the market.

“From now on, all establishments of the Bennett family have to halt in operation until the investigation is done.”

What Gordon Zigger said shocked Jay and his father to their cores.

However, they could not refute, since evidence were clearly displayed before them.

“As for when you can operate in business again? To be confirmed!”

Just like that, all the establishments of the Bennett family were sealed with official tape.
