Chapter 47
Summon Of The 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.
âCoughâ¦â Mr. Ziegler cleared his throat lightly after looking at Seanâs aloof expression and retracted his gaze.
âMs. Quinn, Iâm tasked to only sign this agreement here with you.
âAll operational directions for Larson Pharmaceuticals are determined by Mr. Larson alone.â
Mr. Ziegler was courteous when he explained with a gentle smile.
âYeah, Willow, Mr. Larson must have thought that the Quinn family was worth partnering with since he recognized our potential.â âJust sign it, Willow.â The gaze of everyone present was stuck intently on the pen in Willowâs hand. Old Madam Quinn was also signaling for Quinn to hurry with her eyes. âMr.
Ziegler, Willowâs position isnât very high in the company.
âPerhaps, sheâs not in the position to make decisions with such a huge business deal.â
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 youâre here stirring up heavens-know what again?
If Mr. Ziegler was not present, they would have ganged up on Sean that instant.
âThis⦠Makes sense tooâ¦
âWhen I was Quinn Corporation the last time, I heard from Mr. Quinn that Ms. Willow Quinnâs position was not suited for agreement-signing?
âThis would be⦠A slight problemâ¦â
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 Pharmaceuticalsâ employees around, he would not live a life like how it was now.
âNot a problem, Mr. Ziegler, not a problem at all. âFrom today onwards, Willow will be the president of our subbranch, personally appointed by yours truly. âShe is definitely qualified to handle agreement-
signing matters.â Old Madam Quinn leaned forward and announced the news with a slight smile.
âWoosh!â 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 Corporationâs 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 Seanâs involvement!
âYou can sign it now.â Finally, Sean had released his affirmation after nodding faintly.
âYes, you can sign it now.â
Mr. Ziegler was quick to echo Seanâs 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. Zieglerâs hands, and signed her name on it.
âPhew!â
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. âGreat! Hereâs to achieving greater heights together, Ms. Quinn! After passing Willow her copy of the signed agreement, Mr. Ziegler smiled and added.
âMr. 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.â
âThisâ¦â
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.
âNo worries, Ms. Quinn, Mr. Lennonâs attendance is expected as well.â
Mr. Ziegler let out a chuckle and continued. âCough, Mr. Ziegler doesnât need to be there.â âJust a mere crippleâ¦â 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?
âMr. Larson has spoken, that the attendance of both Mr. Lennon and Ms. Quinn is requested, and he would not accept any reason of absence.â 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.
âLarson Pharmaceuticals is extending a hand of friendship towards usâ¦
âAnd, it was all for Willow.
âWhat did they mean?â
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.
âOld Madam, I heard that the Zimmers and the Larsons are related.â
âDo you think Young Master Zimmer is behind this, pulling strings so the Larsons would do this?â 2 âYou know, Young Master Zimmer has always had obvious feelings for Willow.â
Fayeâs mother gave it some thought and sneered as she frowned.
âHah! I donât think so.
âFrom what Iâve heard, Young Master Larson is about to return from studying abroad.
âIt could possibly well be that the Larsons wanted Willow to be with their son, you know?â
Another middle-aged woman retorted right away.
People were holding onto different opinions and a chaotic commotion broke out.
âWell then, it didnât matter if it was Young Mr. Zimmer or Young Master Larson, theyâre ten times more, no, hundreds of times better than Sean the loser!â Simonâs statement triggered loads of murmurs of agreement from the people around him.
