Chapter 62
Summon Of The Sword
Chapter 62 She knew that Jeremy worked in the government office, but when did he start managing a district? When Lucy understood, she laughed. âOh, Fion, you still donât know, right? âJeremy has been promoted! âHe initially held a small position, but now he has been promoted to managing a district!â
Lucy covered her mouth and kept laughing. âItâs great. Iâm in charge of the market management of Jeanne District.
âMy scope includes some locations for businesses and tax issues-related things for various companies.â
Jeremy raised his glass and took a sip. Fion was dumbfounded.
The rich could not compete with officials!
Even though Willow was now the CEO of a branch company, Jeremy still easily outranked her!
Jeremyâs status was above Willowâs.
Therefore, Fionâs plan to use Willow to regain her dignity today completely failed. Willow adjusted her glasses and smiled. âOh, itâs fine, itâs fine. Jeremy, you happen to be in charge of the area Willowâs company is in. âSince weâre relatives, you must help her out if she needs it in the future.â Lucy said proudly as she glanced at Fion. âYour daughter is quite capable. She became the CEO at such a young age. âBut, isnât she still ranked below my son-in-law?â
âOf course.â
Jeremy raised his head to look at Willow, and a hint of playfulness flashed past his eyes. Perhaps in the future, he could interact more with his cousin, Willow. âActually, my promotion isnât much. âIâve already ordered a diamond ring from France for Lily. Weâre getting married next month.
âItâs a double blessing for our family.
âSo thatâs why we decided to invite Third Aunt and her family over for a meal.â
Jeremy raised his wine glass and deliberately stood up while smiling at everyone âAh, okay, okay.â Fion coughed and stood up with Kent. They were all relatives, so there was no need to stand up. However, Jeremy purposely stood up and gave everyone a toast. The others had no choice but to stand as well.
Therefore, only Sean was left sitting in the wheelchair, sticking out like a sore thumb. âBrother Sean, why arenât you standing up? Are you disregarding me?â Jeremy frowned slightly at first. Then, his brows relaxed. He waved his hand and said,â Sorry, I forgot. You canât stand up.
âCome, hereâs a toast to everyone.â
Jeremyâs words were sharp, causing Willowâs face to flush. On the other hand, Fion and Kentâs faces were similarly extremely red. Fion secretly swore that no matter what banquet she attended in the future, she would never bring this cripple along. She would simply embarrass herself. Meanwhile, Seanâs expression remained unchanged.
It was as if everything that happened outside his own world had nothing to do with him.
In his eyes, there was only Willow. He came here for Willow.
No matter how chaotic it was and how much trouble there was in the outside worldâ¦
He only had eyes for her. Fion originally wanted to use Willowâs promotion to regain her dignity.
Unexpectedly, no matter how much Willow rose, she was still suppressed by Jeremy. The plan failed, and she could only remain silent. Next, it became Lucyâs home ground. She first asked about her elder daughterâs marriage, then talked about her second daughterâs annual salary.
She then asked where her youngest son was going to buy a house. Lucyâs laughter filled the entire room. Willowâs family was completely suppressed. Even the exquisite dishes on the table tasted like wax to them. Jeremy was calm and composed. He spoke elegantly. He would say something from time to time, causing everyone to laugh heartily.
After all, with his status, anything he said would garner support from others. Looking at Jeremy, who was surrounded by Lucyâs family, Fion did not know what to feel.
They were both the familyâs future sons-in-law, so how could Sean be so different from Jeremy?
If Sean was as capable as Jeremy, Fion would also fawn over him!
At Fortune Hotel In the hall on the first floor. âMr. Luke, I finally managed to get you to come. âThe room upstairs has been booked. Letâs go into the room to talk.â Homer, who had been waiting in the VIP lounge for a long time, said to a middle-aged man with a smile. âMr. Larson, youâre too kind. Thereâs no need to go through so much trouble.â The middle-aged man smiled at Homer.
Hayden was a high-ranking official in River City.
He was an important person in the government office.
Larson had spent a lot of effort to invite him.
âHaha, Mr. Luke, please come upstairs!â
Homer laughed and led the way. âMr. Luke, please.â
Hayden smiled and walked into the elevator.
In the private room.
âBy the way, Fion, what about Sean? I heard that he has recovered.
âYouâve recovered. Yet you arenât working?â Seeing that Willowâs family was keeping silent, Fion asked Sean. âSecond Aunt, Sean can only sit in a wheelchair. How can he go to work?â Willow put down her chopsticks and defended Sean.
