The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 296

However, at that moment, Simon Quinn felt even angrier and peeved.

Before this, he, Simon Quinn was the apple of Old Madam Quinn's eye.
Especially when it was him versus Sean in a standoff, whatever he said would be
right, and whatever Sean would say would be wrong.

Old Madam Quinn would forever take Simon's side.

Alas, Old Madam Quinn had just reprimanded Simon several times as she sided
with Sean.

Hatred rose within Simon's heart.

He did not dare to turn his anger on Old Madam Quinn, so Sean had naturally
become the recipient of Simon's hatred.

“Grandma, you can't just put all the blame on Simon!"

Faye Quinn chimed in as she stood with her arms crossed before her, glancing
briefly at Sean, then back at Old Madam Quinn.

“Even if he had that capability to get Mr. Larson to recall his partnership with the
Quinn family, what right did he have to do such a thing?

“This partnership was Young Master Zimmer's doing. How dare Sean not do
anything to help, yet want to get this partnership canceled?

“Who could hold their temper when they're faced with something like this?"
After hearing what Faye had said, many of the Quinns who were present nodded
silently in

agreement.

Even Willow had nothing to refute.

Since it was confirmed that the partnership between Larson Pharmaceuticals and
the Quinn family was a gift from Quill Zimmer, on what basis could Sean stop the
partnership between Larson Pharmaceuticals and the Quinn family?

“Are you just gonna wait till the fat lady sings?”

Sean shook his head faintly and scoffed in his heart.

If they did not want to accept his explanation, why would he bother wasting his
time and energy by explaining more to them?

He, Sean Lennon did not live based on what they thought of him.

It was really up to them what they wanted to do.

Sean was done explaining himself to them.

The longer Sean kept quiet, the more Faye had to say.

“It's really not like we're looking down on him. What qualifications does he have
for us to not despise him?

“He's been living with us Quinns for the past two years and he’s not contributed
anything at

all, not even one bit.

“Even if he could get a small company to establish some form of partnership with
us, I'd consider that he’s at least good for something.

“But, really, what has he contributed to the Quinns the past two years?”

Faye's eyes flashed coldly as her tone became increasingly scornful.

In layman's terms, she was implying that Sean was nothing but a parasite that
had been leeching off the Quinns as he waited for his demise.

“Are you kidding me? Him? Getting other companies to give us a contract?

“Did he think he’s as capable as Young Master Zimmer?”

Simon scoffed, the disdain on his face was no less than Faye’s.

This time, even Old Madam Quinn had nothing to say, since what Simon and
Faye had said was the truth.

“Okay, let's eat.”

Old Madam Quinn shot a complicated look at Sean and shook her head.

Even though Sean saved her life, what she wanted to see was the Quinn family
being prosperous and well-to—do.

If only the Quinn family could regain their former glory, even if she had to die, she
would die in peace.

It was fated that the Quinn family would not be able to regain their former days
with Sean around.

After much pondering, the scale in Old Madam Quinn's heart tipped over to Quill
Zimmer's side once more.

Simon and Faye smiled coldly. They had still won the battle this time, and they
were elated.

Suddenly, a servant came in and spoke.

“Old Madam, someone's out there, and they wish to see you.”

“Mmm? Who is it?"

Old Madam Quinn was a little curious. She did not invite anyone else to their
family gathering today.

The servant replied after recalling the visitor's name.

“He said his name's Shane Bennett.”

“Shane Bennett? The Bennett...

“Isn't he the current head of the River City Bennett Family?”

“Yes, that's him! The Bennett family had been active in the business world for the
past two generations. Their asset and connections are considered admirable in
River City.”

“Even though they are nowhere near Young Master Zimmer, they are still pretty
well known in River City.”

As the crowd discussed, Old Madam Quinn invited him in immediately.

Very quickly, a suit-clad middle-aged man followed by two bodyguards in black
suits marched into the Quinn residence’s courtyard.

It was Shane Bennett, Jay Bennett's father.

“Old Madam Quinn, I'm so sorry to interrupt!”

Shane briefly glanced the place once over and spoke politely to Old Madam
Quinn.

“Oh, Mr. Bennett, you didn't interrupt anything, don't worry!

“We're just having a casual dinner together as a family, so if you're free, Mr.
Bennett, would you like to join us for a cup of tea?”

A faint smile hung on Old Madam Quinn's face as she spoke to Shane.

Even though the Bennetts were not as well to do as the Quinns, Old Madam
Quinn would not insult the Bennetts, so all the politeness and courtesy that was
supposed to be present were all there.

“Old Madam, I won't take too much of your time.

“I'm here specifically today to propose a contract deal with Quinn Corporation.”
Shane cut to the chase as he took a contract folder from the hands of one of his
bodyguards

behind him.

The Quinns were flabbergasted.

Another contract deal?

The Quinns practically had no interaction and no crossed paths with the Bennetts
at all, so why did he suddenly want to collaborate in a contract deal with the
Quinns?

“Please take a look at this, Old Madam Quinn, if there’s nothing wrong with the
contract, we can just seal the deal there and then.”

Shane's words were concise as he placed the contract in his hands slowly on the
table.

When Old Madam Quinn picked it up and glanced through it, the more she read,
the more surprised she was.

This contract...

It was nearly identical to the one from Larson Pharmaceuticals!

This was clearly another contract that would gift the Quinns with a handsome
amount of profit.
