The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 38 “Oh, Simon and Faye are so capable.” ”The Larson family of River City are notoriously difficult to get a hold of. I can’t
believe Simon convinced them.” “See? This is capability. This is skill!” 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 family’s heroes and Old Madam Quinn’s favorites! Why would the members of the Quinn family not suck up to
them immediately? “I’m so happy to see that the Quinn family has qualified successors. “Simon and Faye are very capable, and I
feel at ease handing over the Quinn family to them.”
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. “Grandma, it’s really nothing! “I think it’s my duty
as a member of the Quinn family to look out for and contribute to the family!
“Everyone says I’m just a pretty face, but the truth is I’m always looking out for the Quinn family. At the very least, I don’t want to
drag the Quinn family down or embarrass it.”
Faye looked serious, utterly sincere, and a little distressed.
It was as if she had been misunderstood, “Faye, you can’t say that about yourself. How could you possibly embarrass the Quinn
family?”
“Yes, you didn’t drag the Quinn family down either. Someone did, but they seem to have no idea.”
“Hmph! Speaking of which, it makes me mad. The Quinn family was so well-regarded once, but we became a laughingstock
because of someone.” Sure enough, Faye’s 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.
“Hmph! Faye is just a pretentious scheming b*tch!” 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. “Willow, are you unhappy?”
Old Madam Quinn put both hands on the table and looked at Willow.
“Grandma, I... I’m not unhappy.”
Willow lowered her head, closed her eyes for a second before looking up and answering.
“It’s great that you are not.
“Some things are a mistake from the start.
“A fault confessed is half remedied, but why do you insist on doing the wrong thing all the way?”
Old Madam Quinn said, trying to give her granddaughter a hand.
Willow was speechless.
“The wrong you see may not be wrong at all. “The light you think may not be the light at all.” Suddenly, Sean slowly looked up at
Old Madam Quinn.
There was instant silence in the private room.
“Sean, who are you to speak?”.
“How could you speak to Old Madam like that? What kind of attitude is that?”
“I don’t think you know anything about respecting the old and caring for the young! Much less about having gratitude.”
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.
“Just freeload your meal if you’re here for that. We have nothing to lose by letting you have a bite, but you gotta know your
place.”

“Tell me, what have you and Willow done for the Quinn family in the past two years?”
“Simon and Faye worked their bottoms off for the Quinn family, yet you guys are shamelessly enjoying and talking smack at the
back.”
