Chapter 378
Summon Of The Sword
Chapter 378 It was clear that this question Jason had asked was not one he should be asking.
As soon as the question exited his mouth, he felt as if something was wrong. Despite the power he held, he was only someone who handled affairsânot someone who could make decisions!
How could he ask about the thoughts of the people wlio lield positions above his?
Sure enough, the person at the other end of thie line fell silent.
âCommander, my apologies. I was wrong...â
Jason took the initiative to admit his mistake and bowed slightly. âOkay. âIâll contact you again once I have confirmed the matter of this sword.â The person on the other end of the phone nodded and hung up.
At night. In Willowâs house.
âMom, the food is ready,â Willow shouted again as she sat at the table. âOkay, Iâm coming.â Fion sat in the living room and was about to stand up after hanging up the phone.
However, the phone rang again before she could take even two steps away. Fion picked up the phone and answered the latest call. âOh, is it Lucy? Yes, weâre liome! Okay, no problem! âIâll see when Sean is free, yep!â
Ever since they returned from visiting the Golden Villa Garden, their phone had not stopped ringing Fionâs relatives had called one after another to ask if they were home. She was very flattered by their concern. When Fion first married into the Quinn family, these people had indeed been enthusiastic, but not nearly excessive as they were being now!
Later, when they learned that Fion was not welcomed in the Quinn family, they distanced themselves and gradually cut contact. Until today. Now, they had become more enthusiastic than they had ever been before. Ten years ago, people would respect a son because of his father. Then, ten years later, they would respect the father because of his son.
A sonâinâlaw was considered a half son.
Sean and Willow had a marriage contract, so this matter was undeniable.
Now that Sean had shown he possessed such powerful financial resources, how could the Wilson family dare to maintain the same attitude toward him as before?
âWhew!â
Fion took a breath, put down the phone, and looked at Seanâher eyes filled with mixed emotions.
Then, she walked to the table to have her meal without saying much.
âHow is it? âDo you feel more respected now?â Kent, who held a bowl in his hand, was deliberately being sarcastic. âHmph! Why? Did you earn me this respect?â Fion snorted coldly as she remained stubborn. âI may not be capable, but my sonâinâlaw is. So whatâs the matter?â Kent swallowed a mouthful of rice and responded to Fion halfâjokingly.
ââ
âDad!â
Willow blushed mildly as she lowered her head and said, âWeâre not married yet...â
Sean paused for a moment. He did not reply but merely continued to eat in silence.
Fion slowly turned her head and glanced at Sean. On any other day, she would definitely have grabbed Kentâs seat to stop him from spouting any more nonsense. However, todayâs incident had really made her feel ecstatic. She was currently in a great mood. Therefore, she turned a blind eye to him on this occasion. âWillow, Sean.
âI rarely talk to you about much, but today I want to ask how you really feel in your hearts.â
Kent drank some wine from the glass then looked at the two with his face flushed.
Willow and Sean both put down their knives and forks at the same time.
âWhat are you doing? Is there still not enough food for you to keep your mouth shut?â Fion said with a cold snort as she slammed the table.
âââYou step aside. Iâm talking about something serious.
âSpeaking of which, we have all lived together for two years. âYou two also know each other very well.â
When Kent said this, he paused for a moment and turned to look at Fion.
âSo, if the both of them like each other, I guess...
Slap!
Before Kent could finish speaking, Fion threw her fork down on the table.
âYou donât even think about it!!â
Fion promptly waved her hand to interrupt Kent, her tone very domineering.
âWhat? When you said you wanted a car, Sean bought you a car! âWhen you said you wanted a house, Sean really bought you a ten million dollar villa. âArenât these enough?
âAs a considerate luuman being, you shouldnât be insatiable!â Kent rebutted Fion with a strong tone.
âDo you think that having money is enough to cut it in this world?
âPutting aside whether it is or isnât enough, Sean had made a bet with me back then.
âOn the nintlı, he would reserve the entire Riverleaf Lakeside Hotel to have a grand dinner with Willow!
âThose were his words. I want to see if he can really beat Quill at his own game!â
Fion snorted coldly as she mentioned this matter.
In Fionâs heart, despite Sean having shown his financial stability, he was still incomparable to Quill.
Perhaps Sean really did have some money. However, Quill was not only rich.
Given the level of power and the connections the Zimmer family possesses in River City, even the entire Quinn family did not dare to underestimate them.
To survive in society, having power was more important than having money. Unless Sean had enough money to rival the finances of an entire country! However, was that even possible?
