Chapter 967 âThanks...â
With a gentle sigh, Leah gave up and slowly turned away, pulling the door shut.
Candy was happy that she got her way. She giggled as she lay in bed.
âAunt Willow, why arenât you dressed?â
Candy got under the covers and asked with a serious face.
âI... Iâm hot...â
Willowâs face was red as she quickly put on Seanâs shirt.
âAunt, why are you so big here?
âItâs just like Momâs but bigger.
âWhy donât Uncle Sean have them?â
Candy pressed Willowâs breasts again, looking curious.
âWell...
âUncle Sean is a boy. Boys donât have them.â
Willow blushed as Sean gloated.
âIâm a girl. Why donât I have them?â
Candy touched her chest and asked again with widened eyes.
âShh... Shh!â.â
Flustered, Willow put her hand over Candyâs tiny mouth.
Sean and Willow looked at each other, shook their heads in helplessness, and laughed.
âNever mind. We have all the time in the world.â
Willow could not help laughing when Sean said that.
Candy unwittingly sabotaged the decision Willow took a lot of courage to make.
The next day.
Not long after Sean got out of bed, he got a call from Zander.
âCommander, Jen-Bond Holdings is up to something new.â
Sean immediately sobered up when Zander said this.
âWhat is it?â
Sean asked solemnly as he stepped to the balcony.
Without wasting time, Zander immediately reported everything James did to Sean.
James declared he was hosting a wine party in the name of Jen- Bond Holdingsâ
River City branch this morning.
He invited River Cityâs high society, affluent families, and some government officials.
In particular, the company directors affected by the Zimmer familyâs financing some time ago were also invited.
âThey donât seem to be making connections by making it such a big deal!â
Sean frowned slightly at that.
âCommander, Reach For Will Group and Lennon Group received invitations too.
âI think thereâs a good chance this party is aimed at us.â
Zander pondered for two seconds before telling the truth.
âThey invited us?â
Sean was stunned for a moment before coming to himself.
âYouâre right.
âThis party is aimed at us.â
Sean sneered after thinking for a while.
âCommander, is James that powerful?
âThere are so many people in River City. They canât all be on his side.â
Zander paused for a moment. Then he thought it was a bit unrealistic.
âWhat if they could get everyone to side with them?â
Sean shook his head slowly, his tone somewhat meaningful.
âWhat do you mean?â
Zander came to himself.
âIt looks like we canât hide the fact that we transferred the Zimmer familyâs money.â
Sean loosened his collar and shared his speculation.
âWell...â
Zander was shocked but nodded gently.
With Jen-Bond Holdingsâ connections and power, it did not seem hard to figure it out.
âShould we go or not?â
Zander said quietly after a few seconds of silence.
âYes, of course.
âWeâre not only going but also making a grand entrance.
âGet ready. Iâll talk to you this afternoon.â
Sean saw Willow coming and immediately said to the phone.
âYes.â
Zander answered and hung up.
âSean, what is it?â
Willow asked softly as she helped Sean fix his collar.
She did it naturally. After all, she had taken care of Sean for two years.
Besides, there was no real progress between them after last night.
However, their relationship and affection had grown.
âItâs nothing. Jen-Bond Holdings is looking for trouble again.â
Sean smiled and shook his head, seemingly unconcerned.
âAlright, Leah made breakfast. Come and eat.â
Willow took Seanâs hand and walked toward the dining table.
At the dining table, Candy had washed her hands and sat quietly waiting for Sean and Willow.
âSean, Willow, sorry to bother you last night...â
When Leah saw Sean coming, she got up quickly and said shyly.
âItâs okay. Candy is our daughter too!
âLeah, youâre making yourself a stranger by saying that.â
Willow shook her head and pushed Leah back into the chair.
Sean also smiled and nodded as he sat with Candy.
Leah was a good cook.
The food looked and smelled delicious. It had balanced nutrition too.
âBy the way, Leah, you said last night there was an emergency at the cosmetics company. What was it?â
Sean suddenly recalled as he ate.
âItâs nothing...â
Leah froze for a moment, a little embarrassed to speak.
âYouâre running short on money, donât you?â
Sean immediately figured it out and asked.
Chloe was in charge, but since Chloe left, Zander and the rest had been so busy that they neglected them.
âUhh... We have enough...â
Leah shook her head and waved her hand.
Their cosmetics company was a little strapped for cash.
After all, they had to purchase many things when setting up a new company.
The initial startup costs were not cheap.
However, Leah and Willow knew Sean was going through some tough times.
He would not be able to afford it.
Smack!
Sean took out a bank card and put it on the dining table without saying anything.
Sean pushed the bank card between Leah and Willow before speaking nonchalantly.
âThere are ten million dollars in it. It should be enough for the upfront costs, including the cost of hiring staff and so on.
âGo ahead and do it. The profit is yours, and the loss is mine.â
âWhat? Ten million dollars?â
Leah froze, and Willowâs eyes slowly widened.
