Chapter 63
Summon Of The Sword
Chapter 63 âSo what if heâs sitting in a wheelchair? Just because heâs sitting in a wheelchair doesnât mean that he can freeload off others all the time. âLook at my Jeremy. He was just a small-time employee before this but with his own hard work, he has been promoted.â
Lucy smiled proudly. It may sound like she was encouraging Sean, but in reality, she was just comparing the two.
âMom, donât compare me to Brother Sean.
âAfter all, people are different.â
Jeremyâs tone was very light. It seemed very casual, but in reality, every word he said was extremely insulting.
What he meant was that Sean was not even qualified to be compared to him.
âHaha, thatâs true, thatâs true.â
Lucy laughed and said, âBut no matter what, Willow is still my niece.
âHow can I not feel sorry for her? Sheâs just a girl, yet she has to support a cripple. How tiring is that?
âJeremy, how about this? Do you have any good jobs for him?â Willow frowned slightly and said, âSecond Aunt, thereâs no need for that for now. My salary is enough to sustain us.â
âWhat are you talking about?â
Fion glared at her and said, âRegardless of whether itâs enough or not, itâs always good to have one more person earning money.
âSecond Sister, Jeremy is an important official. Can you make some arrangements?â
Hearing Fionâs words, Willow bit her lip and did not say anything else.
Anyway, she would never let Sean earn money.
Sean was already so severely bullied at home. Would it not be worse outside? Jeremy adjusted his glasses and glanced at Sean.
Then, he rubbed his chin and pretended to think. âLet me think about it.
âHe canât sweep or clean the toilets⦠âIt doesnât seem he can do much.â Lucyâs family chuckled when they heard Jeremyâs words.
Sean could not even do such lowly chores like sweeping and cleaning. Was he not worse than a low-
class person? Fion frowned slightly. She finally understood that Lucy had no intention of finding a job for Sean.
Initially, she thought that even though Sean was disabled, he could still sit in the office and do some work like photocopying.
However, she did not expect Jeremy to say that.
âOh, I know!â
Jeremy put down his palm and said, âI happen to be short of a guard at the gate. âBrother Sean, if you donât mind, why donât you come to our company and watch the door for us? âAlthough, taking this job would mean being called a watchdog. âBut I donât think you care about that.â There was a smile in Jeremyâs eyes as he looked down at Sean Bang! Willow slammed the table and stood up. âJeremy, arenât you going too far?â Willow glared at Jeremy, her heart filled with anger. âCousin Willow, what do you mean? âArenât I doing my best to find a job for Brother Sean?â Jeremy asked with an innocent look. âSean has nothing against you. Why are you talking about him like that? âI donât need you to help him find a job. My salary is enough for both of us.
âSo, thank you for your kind intentions but thereâs no need to talk about this anymore.â After Willow finished speaking, she sat back down on the chair. Under the table, she reached out and grabbed Seanâs hand. Sean froze and turned to look at Willow. Willow blushed slightly. She nodded at Sean and quickly removed her hand.
Seanâs heart was filled with warmth. Willowâs grip represented encouragement.
âWillow, no matter what, Jeremy is your direct superior. âIf you continue talking to Jeremy like that, Iâm afraid you wonât even be able to start a company.â Lucy snorted and crossed her arms in front of her. Willow was slightly stunned, but she did not refute in the end. âMr. Holden, the imported salmon slices that you want have arrived.â Just then, the door was pushed open slightly.
âSend it in.â Jeremy waved his hand slightly. The door was pushed open, and a few waiters walked in carrying exquisite plates.
Just then, a few middle-aged men walked past the door.
âSean, you donât usually eat such things, do you?
âGo on then. Treat it as a reward for you.â
Lucy glanced at Sean and said with a disdainful tone.
Homer, who had just passed the door, was stunned when he heard the voice. Then, he stopped in his tracks.
âMr. Luke, please wait. My friend seems to be here.â
Homer frowned slightly and took two steps back.
âBrother Sean, you can think about what I just told you. âEven though being a guard is a bit degrading, itâs better than having Willow take care of you. Being a freeloader wonât give you any status. âPlus, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of losing dignity?â
Jeremny smiled and picked up the fish slice elegantly. He dipped it in the sauce and was about to put it into his mouth.
âMr. Lennon?â
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, startling Jeremy and the others. âJeremy? Why are you here?â Before everyone could turn around, another voice was heard.
Swoosh!
Jeremy suddenly turned around and saw Hayden at the door.
Clang!
The next second, the fork in his hands dropped. The piece of raw salmon that was dipped into the sauce fell onto his body.
His elegant and calm demeanor from before instantly vanished âM-Mr. Luke!
âIâm here for a meal with my family.â Jeremy immediately stood up and greeted Hayden respectfully.
âYouâre able to eat with Mr. Lennon?
âYou sure are shameless, arenât you?â
