Chapter 38 “Oh, Simon and Faye are so capable.” "The Larson family of River
City are notoriously difficult to get a hold of. I can’t believe Simon convinced
them.” “See? This is capability. This is skill!” Some members of the Quinn family
fawned over them, while some were jealous. On the surface, they praised Simon
and Faye. . If they finalized the deal, the two of them would become the Quinn
family’s heroes and Old Madam Quinn's favorites! Why would the members of
the Quinn family not suck up to them immediately? “I'm so happy to see that the
Quinn family has qualified successors. “Simon and Faye are very capable, and I
feel at ease handing over the Quinn family to them.”
Old Madam Quinn sat in a chair, looking relieved.
Everyone in the Quinn family froze when they heard that. What Old Madam
Quinn meant was that Simon and Faye would inherit the main fortune of the
Quinn family!
With this in mind, people were behaving more obsequiously to Simon and Faye.
“Grandma, it's really nothing! “I think it's my duty as a member of the Quinn
family to look out for and contribute to the family!
“Everyone says I'm just a pretty face, but the truth is I'm always looking out for
the Quinn family. At the very least, I don't want to drag the Quinn family down or
embarrass it.”
Faye looked serious, utterly sincere, and a little distressed.
It was as if she had been misunderstood, “Faye, you can't say that about
yourself. How could you possibly embarrass the Quinn family?”
“Yes, you didn't drag the Quinn family down either. Someone did, but they seem
to have no idea.”
“Hmph! Speaking of which, it makes me mad. The Quinn family was so well-
regarded once, but we became a laughingstock because of someone.” Sure
enough, Faye's self-deprecating remarks instantly brought the conversation to
Sean and Willow.
That was her goal.
Willow was silent while Sean closed his eyes to rest as if everything outside was
irrelevant.
“Hmph! Faye is just a pretentious scheming b*tch!” Fion mumbled as she felt
disgruntled. The Quinn family was behaving strangely, accusing Willow implicitly
and explicitly. Old Madam Quinn also frowned slightly and looked at Willow.
Repeated rumors would become a fact. Even if Willow never did anything wrong,
she must have done something wrong if everyone said so. “Willow, are you
unhappy?”
Old Madam Quinn put both hands on the table and looked at Willow.
“Grandma, I... I'm not unhappy.”
Willow lowered her head, closed her eyes for a second before looking up and
answering.
“It's great that you are not.
“Some things are a mistake from the start.
“A fault confessed is half remedied, but why do you insist on doing the wrong
thing all the way?"
Old Madam Quinn said, trying to give her granddaughter a hand.
Willow was speechless.
“The wrong you see may not be wrong at all. “The light you think may not be the
light at all.” Suddenly, Sean slowly looked up at Old Madam Quinn.
There was instant silence in the private room.
“Sean, who are you to speak?"
“How could you speak to Old Madam like that? What kind of attitude is that?”
“I don’t think you know anything about respecting the old and caring for the
young! Much less about having gratitude.”
The private room exploded in an uproar the next second.
If Sean said nothing, everyone would ignore him.
Once he spoke, the Quinn family focused their fury on him.
“Just freeload your meal if you're here for that. We have nothing to lose by letting
you have a bite, but you gotta know your place.”
“Tell me, what have you and Willow done for the Quinn family in the past two
years?”
“Simon and Faye worked their bottoms off for the Quinn family, yet you guys are
shamelessly enjoying and talking smack at the back.”
