Chapter 942

Though the Zimmer family was nearly bought down recently, they now had Jen–Bond Holdings on their side.

With Jen–Bond Holdings‘ wealth as support, the Zimmer family’s rise was a sure thing.

It was why Old Madam Quinn and the rest changed their attitude again and sided with the Zimmer family.

When Willow thought about the Quinn family’s backtracking, she felt guilty about Sean again.

“I’m sorry, Sean, I’m sorry…”

Willow muttered as she sat on the couch.

Sean glanced at Willow before passing Candy to Leah. Then he walked over to Willow and sat down.

“I’m the one who should apologize.”

Sean leaned back on the couch and reached up to rub his temples.

If he had the power to ignore Jen–Bond Holdings, Willow would not be aggrieved.

“Sean, don’t say that.”

Willow shook her head slightly and rested it on Sean’s shoulder.

Leah was about to say something but sighed and left with Candy to give Sean and Willow some alone time.

“Leah, don’t take what my mother said to heart. She’s just like that.”

Even if Willow was upset, she comforted Leah in case she felt uncomfortable.

“Willow, if Aunt Fion’s in a bad mood because Candy and I are here, we’ll move out.

“Candy and I can live anywhere.”

Leah shook her head slightly and spoke her mind.

She knew this evening was not really about her, of course.

However, she did not want to aggravate the conflict between Sean and Fion because of herself and Candy.

“Stay here. Nothing will happen.

“Again, I call the shots here.”

Sean raised his eyebrows slightly and said as he looked at Leah.

“Okay…”

Leah was silent for two seconds before answering and taking Candy back to their room.

Sean and Willow were now the only ones left in the living room.

They looked at each other but remained silent.

Sean was hesitant as he faced the aggressive Jen–Bond Holdings.

Willow was upset by the Quinn family’s backtracking.

The two had a lot of things to say but did not want to speak and upset each other.

“Sean…”

“Willow.”

They suddenly began to say each other’s names at the same time.

Then they tacitly looked at each other and smiled.

Willow reached out and grabbed Sean’s hand.

“I know you’re having a hard time.

“But it’s really nothing.

“No matter how difficult it is, can it be as difficult as when you were ill?”

Willow spoke slowly as she held Sean’s hand.

Sean was deeply touched when he heard this.

Yeah!

He was confined to a wheelchair for two years, unable to think, and lived like a zombie.

Compared with the past two years, the difficulties at hand were nothing.

“I’m a little scared.”

Sean gently let out a breath and clenched his teeth.

As a nine–star commander in the Northwest Army, he had blood on his hands and climbed out of oblivion many times.

It was no exaggeration to say that Sean and Zander were tough guys who were not afraid of death.

However, Sean said the word “scared“.

He was not scared of losing to Jen–Bond Holdings.

He was scared that Willow would suffer with him if he failed.

The Quinn family and Fion would be smug if that happened.

+

He could imagine it after giving it some thought.

If Sean failed and got kicked out of River City, the Zimmer family, the Quinn family, and Willow’s mother, Fion, would be merciless to Willow.

They would say she was blind and stubborn and that she deserved it.

Sean was a little scared as he thought about it.

Therefore, he would not allow himself to fail, let alone allowing Willow to suffer.

“When I was catatonic, you endured a lot for me.

“Now that I’ve recovered, I won’t let that happen again.”

Sean slowly squeezed Willow’s palm, his tone serious.

“Sean, you don’t have to put so much pressure on yourself.

“I just want you to know that I, Willow Quinn, am here for you no matter what happens.”

Willow also held Sean’s hand tightly, her tone firm.

Sean looked into Willow’s eyes and nodded gently.

He could not betray Willow’s trust and let Willow lose.

After a few seconds, Sean made up his mind.

He could not lose no matter what.

Even if it meant blowing his cover and confronting Blaze sooner, he had no regrets.
