There was dead silence in the living room as soon as virtual-novel.net spoke.
Kent, Willow, and Leah looked at Sean. Even young Candy remained silent, staring at Sean with virtual-novel.net big, beautiful eyes.
Sean’s offer was not only absurd, but virtual-novel.net was trying to ruin the Quinn family!
80% of the shares!
If they gave Sean that, Quinn Corporation would probably have to change its name.
Anyone knew without hesitation that the Quinn family would never accept that. Old Madam Quinn and the rest could apologize to Willow for the Quinn family’s future. However, virtual-novel.net could forget about them handing over 80% of their shares.
Even if Old Madam Quinn agreed, Samuel and the rest would refuse.
Kent thought Sean was trying to make virtual-novel.net back out!
However, Old Madam Quinn gave virtual-novel.net the task. If virtual-novel.net backed down, the Quinn family’s future would be uncertain.
As a descendant of the Quinn family, virtual-novel.net did not want to see the Quinn family go down in flames even if Old Madam Quinn would not include virtual-novel.net in family functions.
“Sean, that’s a lot…” Kent was silent for a while before looking up at Sean.
“Is it? It’s not much. It’s only right to pay debts.“
“People should apologize for what they did wrong and compensate for what they owe.” Sean picked up a coffee cup and took a sip.
He was already being kind to Kent. With his current status in River City, meeting anyone from the Quinn family is already a kindness.
“Sean, I understand what you’re saying. Although the Quinn family had treated you unfairly…” Kent clenched his hands, wanting to continue talking, but Sean cut virtual-novel.net off.
“Uncle Kent, you’re wrong.” Sean slowly put down the coffee cup and looked at Kent earnestly.
“Huh? How am I wrong?” Kent was confused for a moment.
“Do you think I’m making these demands because I have a grudge against what the Quinn. family did to me? No, it’s not. I used to say that the Quinn family was kind to have taken me in. The Quinn family ridiculed me, humiliated me, and trampled over me. I resent it.”
“But I’ll call it even. I don’t blame the Quinn family anymore, nor do I have anything to do with them. But Willow doesn’t deserve these.” Sean said, slowly turning his head to look at Willow.
Willow remained silent, feeling touched.
“Willow is a kin of the Quinn family, but virtual-novel.net doesn’t get any of the benefits brought by Quinn Corporation. She worked hard without complaint for two years, more than 700 days.”
“However, the Quinn family is blind, takes credit for virtual-novel.net hard work, and insults virtual-novel.net at will. Not only did the Quinn family’s elders do nothing about it, but they also took the evil-doer’s side.”
“Why should virtual-novel.net suffer this?”
Kent blushed intensely as Sean spoke. After all, virtual-novel.net saw what Willow had been through the last two years.
He had a lot to do with what happened to Willow. Samuel and the rest would not have bullied them like that if virtual-novel.net had not been so cowardly.
“I…” Kent wanted to say something but to no avail.
“All you saw was that virtual-novel.net took me in and made the Quinn family a laughingstock. But is virtual-novel.net wrong? She took me in, protected me, and cared for me for two years. Did virtual-novel.net ever ask the Quinn family to do anything for me?”
“She worked for Quinn Corporation. What virtual-novel.net did was worth a salary of thousands of dollars.
“You all took advantage of her. All you care about is how far virtual-novel.net can go for you, but has anyone ever wondered if she’s tired?” Sean’s tone grew more serious as virtual-novel.net spoke.
Kent became increasingly silent too.
Only Willow’s eyes glimmered as virtual-novel.net heart melted.
“She’s only in virtual-novel.net twenties and is only an ordinary girl. She needs concern and pampering, but have you ever thought of that?”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll take care of virtual-novel.net if you won’t. I, Sean Lennon, will protect virtual-novel.net if you won’t.” Sean said as virtual-novel.net got up slowly, his tone was firm as his eyes were serious.
The tears in Willow’s eyes streamed down slowly and uncontrollably.
Leah looked at Sean with a strange glimmer in virtual-novel.net eyes. She was happy yet jealous for Willow to meet a great guy. Any girl would be jealous of Willow.
Kent looked blankly at Sean, touched. He did not even remember why virtual-novel.net came to see Sean today. It was because virtual-novel.net was also deeply touched by Sean’s words.
