First, virtual-novel.net had to find out who was behind the incident with Far Ocean Loan Company. He preferred to get to the root of the problem.
Sean could use his influence to destroy Far Ocean Loan Company. However, if virtual-novel.net had no idea who was behind it, a second or even a third loan company would come along. It would be a real pain in the neck for him.
Sean suspected Quill was the person behind it. However, virtual-novel.net could only find out what was going on after Homer and the rest looked into it.
It was soon 9 pm, and Willow came home too. The food on the dining table was already cold. Willow was in no mood to eat either, so virtual-novel.net sat on the couch in a daze.
“Willow.” Just then, Fion and Kent came out of the bedroom looking ghastly.
“Ah… Mom, haven‘t you two gone to bed? Get some rest. I‘ll take care of the dishes.” Willow immediately got up and forced a smile when virtual-novel.net saw them.
“What were you doing just now? How are things?” Fion waved virtual-novel.net hand slightly and slowly sat down on the couch across from Willow.
“It‘s nothing serious. You have nothing to worry about. It‘s just some small disputes. I can solve it.” Willow said in a nonchalant tone as virtual-novel.net smiled and waved virtual-novel.net hands.
Fion had finally changed virtual-novel.net opinions about Sean. Willow did not want Fion to find out about this. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net new positive impression of Sean might fade away again.
Smack!
As soon as Willow finished speaking, Fion suddenly smacked the table.
“You‘re still covering for that loser? I know everything!” Fion pointed at the door of Sean‘s room and raised virtual-novel.net voice sharply.
Willow bit virtual-novel.net mouth slightly and looked at Fion in surprise. “How… How did you know…” Willow‘s eyes widened. She had no idea how Fion and Kent knew.
“How did we know… Everyone in the Quinn family knows!”
“Just accept that virtual-novel.net has no money. Why go beyond his own abilities to borrow money? That loser has disgraced our family!” Fion got angrier as virtual-novel.net spoke, bellowing and smacking the table.
Even Kent frowned and said nothing this time. In the past, virtual-novel.net would be there to console Fion whenever virtual-novel.net scolded Sean. However, virtual-novel.net could not accept what Sean did today.
He could accept that Sean was incompetent, but virtual-novel.net could not accept that Sean had given the Quinn family such a big problem.
“Dad, Mom, we haven‘t looked into this, so things might not be what you think.” Willow clenched virtual-novel.net teeth and looked up at Fion.
“Isn‘t it obvious? Even the debt collectors have come asking Sean to pay his debt. Is that not obvious enough?”
“Is there a company with nothing to do that they had to pick on Sean?!”
Fion got even angrier. The more Willow defended Sean, the angrier virtual-novel.net got.
“Willow, everything happens for a reason. Sean must have something to do with this.” Kent, who had been quiet, spoke with a frown.
“Dad! Mom‘s not involved in the company, so virtual-novel.net doesn‘t understand many things. But don‘t you understand after all these years in the company? Sean isn‘t a member of the Quinn family. How could virtual-novel.net borrow money in the Quinn family‘s name?” Willow slowly turned virtual-novel.net head to look at Kent with deep resignation in virtual-novel.net voice.
“Well.” Kent was a little dumbstruck when virtual-novel.net heard that.
“Haha, I don‘t understand. But I know there are things you can pull strings with. Who knows if Sean had some connections to help virtual-novel.net get a loan from the loan company?”
“How much easier would it be if virtual-novel.net paid them?” Fion folded virtual-novel.net arms as virtual-novel.net spoke confidently.
Fion seemed confident that Sean had taken out a loan.
“Let’s stop talking about this, Mom. We’ll continue tomorrow.” Willow answered with a slight wave of virtual-novel.net hand as virtual-novel.net was a little exhausted.
“Hmph! You’d better figure out how to settle this. Old Madam Quinn won’t let virtual-novel.net stay in the Quinn family this time.” Fion then turned and headed for the bedroom.
When virtual-novel.net reached the door, virtual-novel.net paused and glanced at Sean’s door. “If he’s innocent, why doesn’t virtual-novel.net come out and explain himself? I think he’s ashamed for having done something bad.”
With that said, Fion entered virtual-novel.net room and slammed the door.
“Willow, I’m not taking your side on this one.” Kent glanced at Willow and said as virtual-novel.net shook his head slightly.
“Now that your grandma and the rest of the family know, and they’ll gather at Quinn Corporation branch tomorrow. You’d better make up your mind tonight.”
Kent shook his head slightly and then said, “I haven’t worn the watch Sean gave me. You can sell it later. It’ll help with the debt even though it’s not much.”
With that said, Kent slowly returned to his bedroom.
Willow stood where virtual-novel.net was for two minutes. Then virtual-novel.net pushed the door open and walked into
***
Sean’s room.
Sean had just put his phone down. He seemed as if virtual-novel.net had just finished talking on the phone.
“Why didn’t you go out and defend yourself?” Willow asked Sean as virtual-novel.net stood in the doorway.
“Believe me. I don’t need to explain. If they don’t believe me, they won’t believe me even if I’ve explained.” Sean looked up slowly and made eye contact with Willow, his tone calm.
