When Sean was in Joules Town, virtual-novel.net was worried about things at home. Therefore, Zander had been asked to send a team back earlier. Their purpose was to protect Willow, of course.
Even if Sean knew Blaze dared not give Willow a hard time no matter how bold virtual-novel.net was, virtual-novel.net made some arrangements to be safe.
***
Melody Cosmetics.
Willow was sitting in virtual-novel.net office, flipping through some papers.
It was almost time to get off work, but Willow was still busy with something. They had just developed a new product, so they had a lot of things to do, of course.
Just then, the office door was pushed open.
Willow frowned slightly and looked up at the door.
Old Madam Quinn, Simon, and Faye stepped in. Two security guards wanted to stop them but were scared of being too aggressive. After all, they also knew Willow was a member of the Quinn family.
“Willow, keep your company watchdogs in check. How dare they stop Grandma from visiting you?” With a cowlick hairstyle, Simon said with a frown.
“Grandma, you’re here. Have a seat.” Willow ignored Simon and got up to meet Old Madam Quinn.
Since Sean left, Simon was up to no good again after being quiet for a few days.
Willow was already used to it. Anyway, Simon dared not do anything to Willow right now.
“You may leave…” Willow glanced at the two security guards, and they finally dared to exit the office.
“Willow, why didn’t you answer the phone when I called just now?” Old Madam Quinn asked, looking at Willow with a slight frown.
“I’ve been too busy these past two days. I didn’t hear my phone ring.” Willow poured a cup of coffee for Old Madam Quinn.
She thought a moment and poured coffee for both Simon and Faye.
“Alright! I’ve come to tell you something.” Old Madam Quinn took the coffee cup and put it on the table.
“Go ahead, Grandma.” Willow nodded gently.
“Have you noticed that many government departments have been investigating Reach For Will Group these days?” Old Madam Quinn asked tentatively with a slight cough.
“I know.” Willow nodded gently.
How could virtual-novel.net not know? After all, Melody Cosmetics belonged to Lennon Group.
Lennon Group and Reach For Will Group were sister companies. Both belonged to Sean, so you could say that they were closely related.
“Do you know why?” Old Madam Quinn asked again, looking at Willow.
“I don’t know.” Willow was silent for two seconds before shaking virtual-novel.net head.
“Because of Sean,” Old Madam Quinn sounded confident.
“Okay.” However, Willow only said okay as if virtual-novel.net was not interested.
“Don’t you want to know Sean’s identity?” Old Madam Quinn could not help but slightly frown at Willow’s attitude.
“I know. He was a soldier and has a high ranking.” Willow slowly looked up at Old Madam Quinn.
“Hahaha! What a joke.” Simon and Faye both laughed when Willow said this, their eyes were filled with disdain.
“Why are you laughing?” Willow frowned, feeling uncomfortable.
“Willow, you’re a fool! Do you believe everything virtual-novel.net says? If virtual-novel.net really is a soldier, where did virtual-novel.net get all the money?”
“Why are there so many government departments investigating him?”
“Why do you believe everything virtual-novel.net says?” Old Madam Quinn frowned with exasperation.
“He’s my man. Who should I believe if I don’t believe him?” Willow asked Old Madam Quinn in reply, virtual-novel.net expression unchanged.
“You’re not even married yet. It’s alright if virtual-novel.net has a clean background. I’ll support you. But did you know he’s wanted by the army?” Old Madam Quinn’s last sentence caused Willow to widen virtual-novel.net eyes.
She had no idea.
“It seems you really don’t know. But you know that now, right?” Old Madam Quinn looked at Willow’s expression before shaking virtual-novel.net head and saying.
“I don’t know, and I don’t believe it.” Willow shook virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net eyes were determined.
“You! Simon, tell virtual-novel.net who Sean really is.” Furious, Old Madam Quinn picked up virtual-novel.net coffee cup and took a sip.
“Willow, I’m telling you. Sean is a wanted man!”
“He was a soldier, but virtual-novel.net stole money from the army and even the pensions of those who died in battle. The money virtual-novel.net used to start the company and gave you to buy things was army funds!”
“Do you know what this is called? It’s called embezzling!” Simon reached up and slammed the table as if virtual-novel.net was stating a fact.
Willow slowly widened virtual-novel.net eyes at Simon’s words. She felt like virtual-novel.net was shocked by electricity.
She did not believe Sean was such a person. She did not believe Sean would steal the pensions of those who died in battle.
“Who told you that? Are you slandering?” Willow looked up suddenly and glared at Simon.
“Haha, you’re probably the only one who doesn’t know. Everyone in River City knows? Do you know Mr. Jason Yeast? He’s a big shot in River City’s army. This news came from him!” Simon curled his lip and replied with a sneer.
“Yes! You’re the only one who doesn’t know. And a couple of big shots from the Northwest Army from the same group as Grandpa. They’re here to track down Sean.” Similarly disdainful, Faye chimed in.
“No! I don’t believe it! Knowing him, he’s nothing of the sort!”
“Unless virtual-novel.net tells me himself!” Willow widened virtual-novel.net eyes and shook virtual-novel.net head.
“That’s enough!” Old Madam Quinn slammed the table.
“How long are you going to refuse to come to your senses?”
“Tell me, how did virtual-novel.net get the money to start a company and buy land if virtual-novel.net didn’t steal it?”
“Besides, why did virtual-novel.net choose to run away if virtual-novel.net wasn’t guilty? Isn’t virtual-novel.net just afraid of being captured?”
“The facts are right before you. Why won’t you believe it?” Old Madam Quinn glared at Willow, frowning.
Willow was speechless.
