The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 298

Shane Bennett initially thought that if he were to gift something that he should
have given in front of Sean Lennon, it was considered as an apology and
compensation to Sean.

He did not want to blabber any more than he should.

However, he had just realized that Sean’s position in the Quinn family was a little
awkward.

So, after a change of thoughts, Shane decided to tell the truth.

“It's not Young Master Zimmer, then this contract...”

Old Madam Quinn's eyes were filled with questioning.

Everyone who could see knew that this contract was literally a tool to gift the
Quinn family with money.

The Bennetts were not related, nor acquainted with the Quinns, so why would
they gift money to the Quinns out of the blue?

The Quinns refused to believe that no one was behind this.

Shane turned his head once again and looked subtly at Sean.

Sean was silent, so Shane did not dare to make that decision himself.

He did not want to anger Sean once more when he had finally gotten Sean to
forgive him. If Sean was unhappy, it was over for him.

“This contract is a gift from me.”

At that moment, Sean raised his head slowly and looked at Old Madam Quinn.
“Woosh!”

The entire place was engulfed in pin—drop silence.

All eyes were on Sean.

Many that were present wanted to express their disdain and disbelief.

However, when they looked at how confident Sean was, they could not seem to
calm the

turmoil in their hearts.

Simon slammed the table and yelled at Sean as he pointed angrily at him.
“Sean Lennon, what are you f*cking saying?

“You said you're the one behind the partnership with Larson Pharmaceuticals,
now you're saying that this contract from the Bennetts is your doing. Why don’t
you also claim that you can fly up into the sky and stand right beside the sun?
“Also, why don’t you also say that you can make the biggest family in River City
to beg us for collaboration?”

Sean shook his head faintly as he replied nonchalantly.

“The biggest family? How is that difficult?”

One word from Sean and Zander Young would be able to get it done for him, not
just a mere River City, but also the entire Souz River District.

“Hah, I'm done bickering with a veg like you. What a waste of my time and
energy!

“Mr. Bennett, this cripple has been a veg for two years and had just regained
some consciousness. Please don’t mind him.

“Please ignore him! We can still talk about our partnership.”

Simon could not bother to exchange more nonsense with Sean as he turned and
looked at Shane.

“Sorry, I only will speak to Mr. Lennon about this partnership.”

However, the one sentence from Shane had Simon stop dead in his tracks.

All the Quinns present had interesting expressions on their faces.

They had already roughly guessed it.

Now that they have heard what Shane Bennett had said, they could no longer
remain calm. “W-why?”

Simon's face froze as he stammered.

“I'm only here at the Quinns for this contract because Mr. Lennon is here.
“Long story short, this contract only exists because Mr. Lennon is here at the
Quinns.”

Shane had not held back as spoke the harsh truth.

“Plop!”

Simon sank in his seat flabbergasted as disbelief filled his eyes.

As for others, all of them were silent as they looked at Sean seriously.

Even if the partnership with Larson Pharmaceuticals had nothing to do with
Sean, this contract with the Bennetts was crystal clear since Shane Bennett
himself have said that it was all because of Sean Lennon!

They thought back to what they said about not loathing Sean so much if he were
to contribute even a little bit back to the Quinn family, and the fact that was
placed before them had them flustered with shame.

“So, Old Madam Quinn, are we signing this contract or not?”

Shane stood up tall as he looked at Old Madam Quinn. What he had asked broke
the silence.

Even though the Quinns were doing a lot better than the Bennetts, Shane
Bennett did not need to lower his stance before the Quinns.

The politeness that he had displayed before this was all because of Sean.
“Cough, of course, of course, we're signing...”

Old Madam Quinn knew that they did not accept such unmerited favor stated in
the contract, but the current state of the Quinn family did not allow her to
continue to be arrogant.

She would do anything at all, forget the consequences, if the Quinn family could
have better

growth.

“Who’s gonna sign it?”

Shane asked once more.

Old Madam Quinn was silent for a while before she replied, “Willow will be fully
in charge of this, naturally.”

It was settled. This contract from the heavens had once again fallen onto Willow's
lap.
