The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 353 That apology came straight from Willow's heart. Sean was slightly
moved, then, he shook his head. “Sean, I know you're angry at me. “l admit, 1... I
was looking at you through colored lenses. “It's my bad.”

Willow apologized once more when she saw that Sean was not talking.

“It's all in the past, don't worry about it.” Sean waved his hands and replied
nonchalantly.

“No, Sean, 1...”

Willow sat on the chair fidgeting with her fingers. “I'm not just apologizing for
what had happened, but also... “Even if others did not believe in you, I should.”
Willow looked at Sean when she had finished speaking.

What Lexie had said stuck Willow greatly and shook her.

Sean did not care for anyone else in the Quinn family, so he would not care
about what they had to say.

No matter if it was what they said about him or what they thought about him,
even if it were ridicules and mockeries, Sean was able to ignore them
completely.

This was because, from the beginning till the end, his eyes were only on Willow
alone.

The only person he cared about did not believe him...

Willow could only imagine how painful it was for Sean. A hint of warmth flashed
through Sean's eyes.

Even if he was at the peak of his glory, he still needed to be believed in and
understood.

Especially when he was at the front lines, leading the army, if his subordinates
did not believe in him and did not do what he asked of them to do, he would not
be able to win any battles he fought.

“It's really in the past. No point bringing it up again.”

Sean smiled as he looked back at Willow.

“Okay...” Willow quietly nodded. After a while, she raised her head once more.
“Sean, actually, sometimes, I feel like you're hiding something from me.

“That's why I'd make my own assumptions. “Things like, where does your money
come from? “Did you borrow it from someone? Who would lend you that much
money?”

Willow looked at Sean and asked once more.

“It's really all my own money. “Every single cent that I, Scan Lennon have spent,
belongs to me.” Sean felt a little helpless at that time. “Where did you get so
much money from? “What kind of soldier are you? How did it give you millions?”
Willow told herself to believe in Sean, but she did not know how to believe him
regarding matters like these.

“It's true, it's not millions...”

Sean turned his head slowly. The amount of money he had was in the billions.
Frankly, he did not even know how much he had, and it was definitely more than
millions.

“See, I knew it wasn't as much as million. “Tell me truthfully today. After I know
the truth, I won't not believe in you anymore.” A slight slyness flashed through
Willow's eyes as she tried to fish the truth out of Sean. Sean saw how cheeky
Willow was and shook his head exasperatedly. “Willow, did you know? “If I
wanted to, I could hold the entire River City in the palm of my hands. “Including
Quill Zimmer. If I had not a care in the world, he would definitely not live to see
another sunrise. “In this River City, whoever I deem prosperous will be
prosperous, and whoever I deem destroyed will be destroyed.”

Sean spoke calmly as he turned his head. Solemness brimmed in his words.
Willow heard the arrogantly confident words of Sean and was stunned.

She wanted to question him, but when she looked into his eyes, she could not
help but think...

What is Sean was telling the truth?

— “W-why?”

Willow's eyes were wide open like it was the first time she had gotten to know
Sean.

“Because I'm Sean Lennon!” Sean was seated in his wheelchair with his arms on
the armrests as he spoke. Willow was focusing on Sean“s mouth as hope began
to rise from the depths of her heart. She knew that Sean was not done yet.
“Because, in the northwest army, I am in control of a hundred thousand ferocious
soldiers.

“The name of Sean Lennon represents the highest...”

“Sean Lennon!”

A piercing shriek rang from outside the door, interrupting Sean there and then.
Sean frowned as he was forced to keep quiet.

Immediately, the room door was pushed open as Fion Wilson marched in.
Behind her, Kent Quinn tried to pull her back but was pushed away by Fion.
“How dare you, Sean Lennon! How dare you eye greedily at the Quinn family’s
assets?”

Willow and Sean were confused.

Kent reached out once more to pull Fion back, but Fion pushed him back again
stubbornly.

“Mom, what are you talking about?

“That Far Ocean Loan Company said they've mistaken things, right?

“Sean didn’t borrow any money, and he also didn’t use the Quinn family name to
get loans.”

Willow stood up and looked at Fion with a frown on her face.

“Hah! I'm not talking about that!

“You ask him whether he partnered with an outsider to siphon the Quinn family
assets out!”

Fion pointed at Sean as she spoke angrily.
