“No, no, no! Mr. Lennon, I can assure you that things like this would not happen, ever! The culprits of the crime must be Charles‘ subordinates!” Mr. Schmidt tapped his chest as virtual-novel.net guaranteed.
“If that’s so, sure thing, then.” Sean Lennon nodded and stopped once virtual-novel.net saw that things were different.
Mr. Schmidt sighed a long breath of relief in his heart.
“You! Take my car, send Mr. Lennon home!” Mr. Schmidt immediately turned around and yelled out the door.
Sean was sent back by a private car. It was almost like Sean went on a sightseeing trip at the government facility.
After Sean had left, everyone in the room had complicated feelings. Especially the young man that was briefly acquainted with Sean, virtual-novel.net was dazzled.
Friggin‘ awesome! This is friggin‘ awesome!
The young man was sure that Sean was something. He just did not expect that Sean was something so extraordinary.

4 PM in the afternoon.
At Quinn Corporation’s subbranch, where Willow Quinn was at.
Today, Willow did not have much work, so virtual-novel.net had a rare early clock-out.
These few days, since the subbranch had gotten financial assistance from Quill Zimmer, all its problems had been solved. The cash flow was once again restored, making the atmosphere in the subbranch a refreshed, revitalized one.
After Willow packed up virtual-novel.net things, virtual-novel.net left the office quickly and was about to head home.
“Hey, did you hear? The only reason why our company could overcome our difficulties so quickly was all thanks to Young Master Zimmer!”
“Of course I’ve heard! Young Master Zimmer had been relentlessly pursuing our Director Quinn. Now that Director Quinn has accepted his assistance, I think accepting Young Master Zimmer himself should be next in line.”
“Didn’t Director Quinn have a fiancé? Y’know, that cripple.”
“What to do? He has no power, no money, so virtual-novel.net would just have to watch his fiancée get taken away by someone else.”
“You’re right! If I were Director Quinn, I’d choose fresh roses and beautiful bouquets, and not choose to have to push a cripple around everywhere.”
The moment Willow walked out of virtual-novel.net office, virtual-novel.net had heard all this chatter immediately. Once Willow was seen, the rest of the people shut up immediately and pretended that they were packing up to head home.
Willow stood where virtual-novel.net was for a few seconds as virtual-novel.net gritted virtual-novel.net teeth softly.
“Stop the nonsense and stick to your jobs. If you don’t wanna be here, just go over to HR to collect your last paychecks.” Willow’s expression was icy cold as virtual-novel.net spoke, lowering the heads of different employees along the way.
It was hard to ignore such a cold, formidable aura.
Willow headed to the elevator alone and right after the elevator door closed, the iciness on virtual-novel.net face began to dissipate.
What had replaced that iciness, was a deep sense of helplessness, and a tinge of grievance. No matter how strong and independent virtual-novel.net presented herself before others, virtual-novel.net was still just a woman.
No one would be able to be totally unfazed when faced with gossip and slander. Even if Willow wanted to retort, virtual-novel.net had nothing virtual-novel.net could say.
The two minutes alone in the elevator when virtual-novel.net was done with work was Willow’s time to release virtual-novel.net emotions every day.
Ding!
When the elevator had reached the bottom floor, Willow walked out. The familiar icy coldness was once again evident on virtual-novel.net face.
“Yo, isn’t that Willow?” The moment Willow stepped out of the company door, virtual-novel.net heard a teasing voice from the side.
When virtual-novel.net turned, virtual-novel.net saw Simon and Faye Quinn coming down from Simon’s BMW.
“Yes?” Willow stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks and asked faintly.
“Haha, Grandma sent us to check the accounts of this subbranch. Since virtual-novel.net did not just trust anyone, right Simon?” Faye hugged virtual-novel.net arms and smiled meaningfully.
“Of course!” Simon was quick to agree.
“Check all you want.” Willow was silent for a moment before virtual-novel.net spoke and was about to leave.
“Stand right there, Willow Quinn!” Faye was quick to rush forward as virtual-novel.net blocked Willow in virtual-novel.net stride.
She was extremely jealous of Willow and was so envious to the point virtual-novel.net loathed Willow.
Quill Zimmer had actually booked the entire Riverleaf Lakeside Hotel to have a magnificently grand proposal for Willow on the 9th, which was just around the corner!
Faye had been wanting to hook up with the rich man that was Quill Zimmer, but virtual-novel.net did not expect to lose to Willow.
How was virtual-novel.net ever going to accept defeat?
The hatred virtual-novel.net had towards Willow in virtual-novel.net heart was gradually increasing.
“Willow, don’t you think that since Young Master Zimmer fancies you then you can be disrespectful before me. Even if you were to marry into the Zimmer family one day, you’d still be looked down upon!”
“How dare you still accept Young Master Zimmer even when you have a fiancé? How absurd!” Faye stood in Willow’s way as virtual-novel.net mocked.
