The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 47 Though the Quinn family may be confused, they turned to look at
Sean Lennon as well, only to see him sitting on his wheelchair indifferently, with
no change of expression on his face.

“Cough...” Mr. Ziegler cleared his throat lightly after looking at Sean’s aloof
expression and retracted his gaze.

“Ms. Quinn, I'm tasked to only sign this agreement here with you.

“All operational directions for Larson Pharmaceuticals are determined by Mr.
Larson alone.”

Mr. Ziegler was courteous when he explained with a gentle smile.

“Yeah, Willow, Mr. Larson must have thought that the Quinn family was worth
partnering with since he recognized our potential.” “Just sign it, Willow.” The gaze
of everyone present was stuck intently on the pen in Willow's hand. Old Madam
Quinn was also signaling for Quinn to hurry with her eyes. “Mr. Ziegler, Willow's
position isn’t very high in the company.

“Perhaps, she's not in the position to make decisions with such a huge business
deal.”

Just as Willow was about to make a decision, Sean chined in nonchalantly.

The Quinn family were slightly annoyed with what they had heard. Why did you
have to stick your nose into everything, Sean Lennon? The agreement was just
about to be signed and you're here stirring up heavens-know what again?

If Mr. Ziegler was not present, they would have ganged up on Sean that instant.
“This... Makes sense too...

“When I was Quinn Corporation the last time, I heard from Mr. Quinn that Ms.
Willow Quinn's position was not suited for agreement-signing?

“This would be... A slight problem...”

Mr. Ziegler had a feigned dubious look on his face.

The Quinn family were stunned.

Why did it feel like whatever Sean said carried so much weight?

It almost felt like this Mr. Ziegler worked under Sean!

As fast as this thought appeared, it was dismissed with a sneer.

If Sean could order Larson Pharmaceuticals’ employees around, he would not
live a life like how it was now.

“Not a problem, Mr. Ziegler, not a problem at all. “From today onwards, Willow
will be the president of our subbranch, personally appointed by yours truly. “She
is definitely qualified to handle agreement-signing matters.” Old Madam Quinn
leaned forward and announced the news with a slight smile. “Woosh!” Silence
swept through the entire suite once again. Willow Quinn has now become a
subbranch president, just like this? Was this a joke?

Even Willow herself could not believe what she had just heard.

Everything that happened today felt like a dream.

Firstly, it was Larson Pharmaceuticals coming all the way just to sign an
agreement with her.

Then, it was Old Madam Quinn announcing that she would appoint Willow as the
president of Quinn Corporation's subbranch.

One after the other, this news had Willow feeling like she had been shocked by
lightning Also, it seemed that in both these things, there was a hint of Sean's
involvement!

“You can sign it now.” Finally, Sean had released his affirmation after nodding
faintly.

“Yes, you can sign it now.”

Mr. Ziegler was quick to echo Sean's words as he immediately signed on the
agreement, then passed it over to Willow with both his hands.

Willow glanced intently at Sean, took the document from Mr. Ziegler’s hands, and
signed her name on it.

“Phew!”

Finally, the Quinn family released a breath they were all holding in.

It was finally set in stone.

Needless to say, the Quinn family would definitely expand their horizons
exponentially after partnering with Larson Pharmaceuticals.

They would also be able to leap ahead in terms of social standings in River City.
“Great! Here's to achieving greater heights together, Ms. Quinn! After passing
Willow her copy of the signed agreement, Mr. Ziegler smiled and added.

“Mr. Larson has prepared a humble celebratory party and would like to request
your presence, Ms. Quinn, so he can further discuss with you the details of this
partnership.”

“This...”

Willow peeked at Sean hesitantly once more. Technically speaking, they were
supposed to have a meal together after signing the deal.

However, she was still worried about Sean.

“No worries, Ms. Quinn, Mr. Lennon’s attendance is expected as well.”

Mr. Ziegler let out a chuckle and continued. “Cough, Mr. Ziegler doesn't need to
be there.” “Just a mere cripple...” Simon cleared his throat, what he meant to say
was as clear as day.

A cripple like Sean Lennon was already embarrassing enough amongst the
Quinn family. Why would he further embarrass himself out there?

Would people held in high regard like Homer Larson actually dine with a cripple?
“Mr. Larson has spoken, that the attendance of both Mr. Lennon and Ms. Quinn is
requested, and he would not accept any reason of absence.” After quietly
finishing his sentence, Mr. Ziegler escorted Willow and Sean out of the suite
The rest of the Quinn family in the suite were silent even after Sean and the rest
had left.

“Larson Pharmaceuticals is extending a hand of friendship towards us...

“And, it was all for Willow.

“What did they mean?”

Old Madam Quinn, who slowly sat back into her chair pondered.

Even though it was just a signing of an agreement, the entire matter reeked of
unusualness.

Something or someone must be behind this.

For Larson Pharmaceuticals to show them obvious kindness, they must have an
ulterior motive behind it.

“Old Madam, I heard that the Zimmers and the Larsons are related.”

“Do you think Young Master Zimmer is behind this, pulling strings so the Larsons
would do this?" 2

“You know, Young Master Zimmer has always had obvious feelings for Willow.”
Faye’s mother gave it some thought and sneered as she frowned.

“Hah! I don't think so.

“From what I've heard, Young Master Larson is about to return from studying
abroad.

“It could possibly well be that the Larsons wanted Willow to be with their son, you
know?”

Another middle-aged woman retorted right away.

People were holding onto different opinions and a chaotic commotion broke out.
“Well then, it didn’t matter if it was Young Mr. Zimmer or Young Master Larson,
they're ten times more, no, hundreds of times better than Sean the loser!”
Simon's statement triggered loads of murmurs of agreement from the people
around him.
