Chapter 38
Summon Of The Sword
Chapter 38 âOh, Simon and Faye are so capable.â âThe Larson family of River City are notoriously difficult to get a hold of. I canât believe Simon convinced them.â âSee? This is capability. This is skill!â
Some members of the Quinn family fawned over them, while some were jealous. On the surface, they praised Simon and Faye. . If they finalized the deal, the two of them would become the Quinn familyâs heroes and Old Madam Quinnâs favorites! Why would the members of the Quinn family not suck up to them immediately? âIâm so happy to see that the Quinn family has qualified successors. âSimon and Faye are very capable, and I feel at ease handing over the Quinn family to them.â
Old Madam Quinn sat in a chair, looking relieved.
Everyone in the Quinn family froze when they heard that. What Old Madam Quinn meant was that Simon and Faye would inherit the main fortune of the Quinn family!
With this in mind, people were behaving more obsequiously to Simon and Faye. âGrandma, itâs really nothing! âI think itâs my duty as a member of the Quinn family to look out for and contribute to the family!
âEveryone says Iâm just a pretty face, but the truth is Iâm always looking out for the Quinn family. At the very least, I donât want to drag the Quinn family down or embarrass it.â
Faye looked serious, utterly sincere, and a little distressed.
It was as if she had been misunderstood, âFaye, you canât say that about yourself. How could you possibly embarrass the Quinn family?â
âYes, you didnât drag the Quinn family down either. Someone did, but they seem to have no idea.â
âHmph! Speaking of which, it makes me mad. The Quinn family was so well-regarded once, but we became a laughingstock because of someone.â Sure enough, Fayeâs self-deprecating remarks instantly brought the conversation to Sean and Willow.
That was her goal.
Willow was silent while Sean closed his eyes to rest as if everything outside was irrelevant.
âHmph! Faye is just a pretentious scheming b*tch!â Fion mumbled as she felt disgruntled. The Quinn family was behaving strangely, accusing Willow implicitly and explicitly. Old Madam Quinn also frowned slightly and looked at Willow.
Repeated rumors would become a fact. Even if Willow never did anything wrong, she must have done something wrong if everyone said so. âWillow, are you unhappy?â
Old Madam Quinn put both hands on the table and looked at Willow.
âGrandma, I⦠Iâm not unhappy.â
Willow lowered her head, closed her eyes for a second before looking up and answering.
âItâs great that you are not.
âSome things are a mistake from the start.
âA fault confessed is half remedied, but why do you insist on doing the wrong thing all the way?â
Old Madam Quinn said, trying to give her granddaughter a hand.
Willow was speechless.
âThe wrong you see may not be wrong at all. âThe light you think may not be the light at all.â Suddenly, Sean slowly looked up at Old Madam Quinn.
There was instant silence in the private room.
âSean, who are you to speak?â.
âHow could you speak to Old Madam like that? What kind of attitude is that?â
âI donât think you know anything about respecting the old and caring for the young! Much less about having gratitude.â
The private room exploded in an uproar the next second.
If Sean said nothing, everyone would ignore him.
Once he spoke, the Quinn family focused their fury on him.
âJust freeload your meal if youâre here for that. We have nothing to lose by letting you have a bite, but you gotta know your place.â
âTell me, what have you and Willow done for the Quinn family in the past two years?â
âSimon and Faye worked their bottoms off for the Quinn family, yet you guys are shamelessly enjoying and talking smack at the back.â
