The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 312

Willow's first thought was that this should be a coincidence.

However, she then remembered Sean's attitude from last night and the words he
said. Just a moment ago, Sean was still talking about beating all the enemies into
submission.

Could this be a coincidence?

Could it be that he, Sean, had the ability to predict the future?

Willow widened her eyes and looked at Sean with a complicated expression.
Meanwhile, Sean was not paying attention to their conversation at all. He was
playing checkers with Candy.

Looking at Sean, who was happily playing with Candy in his wheelchair, it was
really difficult for Willow to associate him with a big shot who had such a terrifying
identity.

Sean, a disabled person who had been in a wheelchair for two years, had just
recovered not long ago.

Even if Willow believed in Sean’s abilities and that given enough time, he would
definitely be able to make a name for himself...

He was not on the same level as that scary big shot yet.

“Willow, what's wrong?”

Leah saw that there was something wrong with Willow's expression and asked
curiously.

“Ah, no, nothing...”

Willow quickly retracted her gaze and smiled awkwardly at Leah.

“Why do I feel like there was something odd about you when you heard Joey's
name?

“Could it be that you know Joey?”

Leak asked Willow with a puzzled expression.

“I don't know her. I've never met her before.”

Willow shook her head and answered truthfully.

“It's best that you don’t know her.

Leah nodded and said, “This time, anyone who knows Joey might be implicated!
“Those people with terrifying identities are really scary.

“I think even Young Master Quill is not worthy of carrying this big shot’s shoes.”
In Leah's mind, Quill was someone with quite a high status.

However, this big shot who could cause a commotion in River City was not
someone Quill could compare to.

“That's right. Even Quill would not be able to do that.”

After weighing the pros and cons in her heart, Willow also nodded seriously.

“I wonder, who exactly did Joey offend?”

Willow really could not forget what had happened last night, so she could not
help but ask.

“I guess all the big shots in River City want to know the answer to your question.
“Otherwise, if they provoke such a person one day, they'll not be able to bear the
consequences.

“However, how could such a mysterious person have his identity be easily
investigated?”

Leah shook her head and took a sip.

“That's true.”

Willow nodded, then waved her hand and said, “Alright, let's not talk about this
anymore. Leah, how have you been recently?

“How are things on Second Aunt’s side?”

Willow knew that Leah's position in the Quinn family was rather awkward.

After Leah married into the Quinn family, she was practically a widow. It was as if
that son of the Quinn family had vanished into thin air.

Leah's mother—in—law had always thought that it was Leah’s fault that her son did
not return home.

Furthermore, she valued boys over girls. Candy was a girl, so she had always
disliked Leah.

“What else can I do?”

“She has always minded the fact that Candy isn’t a boy. If Candy gets married to
someone else in the future, she can't fight for the Quinn family’s assets
anymore.

“Actually, I don’t understand. What's there to fight about? We'll develop the
company together, and we'll divide the profits according to the results. Isn't that a
good enough arrangement?

“Do we have to split up and operate separately?”

Leah sounded helpless.

Willow shook her head helplessly. Regarding this, she had the same thoughts as
Leah.

However, others might not think that way.

Simon and Faye wished that they could chase everyone else away so they could
monopolize the Quinn family’s assets.

“Willow, actually, I came to tell you something today...”

Speaking of her family, Leah was a little hesitant. In the end, she summoned her
courage and looked at Willow.

In the Quinn family, she could only talk to Willow, so she would share her
thoughts with her.

“Leah, if you have any difficulties, just tell me.

“Sean and I will do our best to help you.”

Willow immediately sat up straight and looked at Leah seriously.

She knew Leah's personality. If she was not in trouble, she would not have said it
out loud. Instead, she would have chosen to keep it to herself.

Leah nodded and said, “I want to talk to Sean alone first. Is that okay?”

Hearing Leah’s words, Willow was slightly stunned.

She did not know why Leah wanted to talk to Sean alone.

However, the thought of a woman being alone with Sean behind her back made
her feel uncomfortable.

She did not know where this discomfort came from.
