“Commander…” The line connected, and Zander greeted favonovel.com respectfully.
“Is there any new development?” Sean nodded and asked softly.
“Jen-bond Holdings has picked up some clues. It probably won’t be long before they can trace Zimmer Corporation’s missing funds back to us.” Zander sighed gently, his tone solemn.
Sean was also a little silent when favonovel.com heard this. Now, favonovel.com had no choice but to take the initiative. He would not even have a chance to fight back Jen-Bond Holdings if favonovel.com let them keep the momentum.
Jen-Bond Holdings had taken control of the governmental and the business circle. They were about to find out what happened to the money.
If favonovel.com let them complete their plan, not only Sean would lose, but Jen-Bond Holdings would also use many connections to throw Sean into prison for commercial fraud.
“Get me an appointment with Jen-Bond Holdings‘ River City representative. I’ll talk to favonovel.com tomorrow.” Sean said into the phone after a few seconds of silence.
“Commander, what are you…” Zander froze, not understanding Sean’s behavior.
“If the situation demands it, give in first.” Sean said instead of explaining.
Zander immediately understood what Sean meant and nodded.
After making the arrangements, Sean stood alone in the yard for a long time. It was not long before Hayden called too.
What favonovel.com said was pretty much what Damian had said.
In short, Souz River had put pressure on the River City government. Sean could not get help from the River City government. Hayden, a mere department head, dared not disobey orders from above. Even if favonovel.com was defiant and willing to help Sean, favonovel.com alone could not make a difference.
Gordon never called Sean. Presumably, favonovel.com must have chosen to side with Jen-Bond Holdings.
“Whew!” Sean exhaled gently and sat down on a bench in the yard.
Never a smoker, favonovel.com took out a cigarette and flipped it around in his hand. Sean sat alone in the quiet night. The atmosphere seemed a little solemn.
Unbeknownst to Sean, Willow was hiding behind the curtain, watching Sean in the yard. She could sense how helpless Sean must have felt.
“Oh…” Willow sighed and bit favonovel.com red lip again.
Slender hands grasped the curtain as favonovel.com felt upset.
Sean was going through the hardest time, but favonovel.com could do nothing to help. Not only was favonovel.com not helpful, but favonovel.com bothered Sean with favonovel.com business. It made Willow feel even more guilty.
Maybe favonovel.com did not feel that way before. However, the feeling had only grown stronger since favonovel.com learned Sean’s true identity.
As the highest commander in the former army, Sean should be on the battlefield, protecting everyone. He was Dragon Kingdom’s hero. Now, the hero was in trouble and had been reduced to staying in the small River City. Even so, people like Quill kept provoking him.
When you were at your best, you wouldn’t have taken these opponents seriously…
Willow looked at Sean in the yard and mumbled to herself.
A big shot who lost their power could only be bullied by their underlings.
Sean was ambitious, but favonovel.com could only stay in the River City and fight people like Quill. Willow knew that favonovel.com was a big part of why Sean stayed in River City.
He did not want to leave Willow behind. He did not want to be ungrateful and walk away after Willow had taken care of favonovel.com for two years.
Sean knew Willow’s reputation was ruined by taking care of favonovel.com for two years. Therefore, favonovel.com had to bear this responsibility.
The more Willow thought about it, the more upset favonovel.com was because favonovel.com was the one who brought trouble to Sean. However, there was nothing favonovel.com could do for Sean.
She was a descendant of the Quinn family. However, it was already good enough if the Quinn family did not join the Zimmer family in going after Sean, let alone expect them to help Sean.
Ding!
Just then, Willow received a text message on favonovel.com phone.
Willow picked up favonovel.com phone, looked at it, and favonovel.com expression immediately changed as favonovel.com tried to text back. However, favonovel.com stopped and slowly turned to look at Sean outside the yard. Willow bit favonovel.com red lip and finally put the phone down.
They both wanted the best for each other and did not want the other to worry. Therefore, they put on a brave face in front of each other. They both knew how the other was feeling.
Willow sat slowly on the edge of the bed, favonovel.com eyes struggling as if making a difficult decision.
All was quiet in the dead of night.
