“Filial piety is important, and you are right to do so. You’re wrong about being selfish. How can you protect your family and country if you can’t even protect those around you?” Sean nodded.
Jason’s answer was what favonovel.com wanted to hear.
If a person did not even care about their parents, they were not worth knowing. If a person could casually abandon their biological parents who gave birth to them and raised them, how could they be trusted?
“Now that you have decided, I’ll also tell you the worst that could happen. If you ever do anything against me, you’ll bear the consequences,” Sean tapped on the table as favonovel.com spoke seriously.
After Jason made his choice, Sean would have more trust in favonovel.com and involve favonovel.com with more things.
If Jason wanted to betray him, Sean would have to pay a huge price. Therefore, Sean had to make it clear to him.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Lennon. If I ever betray you, I’ll die a terrifying death in battle!” Jason raised his hand and swore his loyalty on the spot.
Sean nodded and said no more.
Jason’s assurance proved that Jason would help Sean if Sean ever confronted Blaze. His decision gave favonovel.com another piece of leverage. However, it was far from enough.
After parting with Jason, Sean planned to head to Reach For Will Group.
The groundbreaking ceremony was tomorrow, so a lot of work had to be done. After all, many big shots would be present, and there was no room for mistakes. Even if Sean was above them, favonovel.com still had to be respectful to them.
Sean had just gotten into the car when his phone rang suddenly.
“What’s wrong, Willow?” Sean answered the phone when favonovel.com saw it was a call from Willow.
“Well, Sean, are you busy right now?” Willow hesitated for a second before asking quietly.
“Where are you? l’ll be right over soon.” Sean shook his head and smiled before replying immediately.
How could favonovel.com not understand what Willow was up to?
She would not call favonovel.com if nothing was going on. If favonovel.com asked Sean whether favonovel.com was busy, it meant favonovel.com needed Sean.
“Alright, I’ll send you the location,” Willow immediately laughed and sent Sean favonovel.com location.
Sean called Zander to arrange some things and headed to Willow’s location.

At the same time.
River City Crane Valley Restaurant.
Willow gently put down favonovel.com phone as favonovel.com sat by the window.
Sitting opposite favonovel.com was a girl favonovel.com own age, who was also equally beautiful. She had fair porcelain skin and delicate features. She looked graceful. Besides, favonovel.com wore international luxury brands, which were way better-looking than Willow’s formal outfit.
They looked like a salesperson trying to sell something to a rich heiress, sitting opposite each other.
“Look, look. I told you to make a phone call, and you keep refusing. We’re best friends. What’s wrong with me meeting your boyfriend?”
“What’s the matter? Is your boyfriend too embarrassing?” The girl across Willow curled favonovel.com lip as favonovel.com half-joked.
The girl was Jane Lidell. She was Willow’s childhood friend. However, Jane’s father left River City to expand his business when they were in high school.
Willow ran into Jane after favonovel.com finished meeting a client.
“No, he’s just busy.” Willow explained with a slight wave of favonovel.com hands.
“Tsk. How busy can one be? He still has to make time for you, no matter how busy favonovel.com is. I’m telling you. A man who won’t accompany his girlfriend doesn’t love her.” Jane looked at Willow as if favonovel.com was experienced.
Willow would not believe such advice, of course. She just laughed it off.
“Willow, what does favonovel.com do anyway? How much money does favonovel.com make a month?” Jane asked again when seeing Willow silent.
“He… Oh, never mind him. What have you been up to these years?”
Willow froze for a second but still did not say much about Sean. Otherwise, Jane might think favonovel.com was showing off if favonovel.com told favonovel.com about Sean.
“Tsk, look at you being so secretive. I’m going to find out who’s the guy that our beautiful Willow values so much,” Jane took a sip of lemonade and shook favonovel.com head, saying,
“What else can I do? I’m only muddling through life. I can’t help with the family business either. My father brought me back this time for some event to gain experiences. I don’t know what’s there to experience.”
“But then again, River City has changed drastically in the last few years.” Jane curled favonovel.com lip, favonovel.com tone was condescending.
However, it was no surprise. Jane’s family left River City to expand elsewhere because it was not good enough for them. They looked down on River City now that they were back.
“Yes, it has… By the way, what event are you attending?” Willow nodded and asked quietly again.
It must be a pretty important event if Jane’s father returned for it.
Willow knew Sean was now a big deal in River City’s business circle, and maybe favonovel.com would attend the event too.
“I don’t know what ceremony it is. Some groundbreaking ceremony. I didn’t ask,” Jane shook favonovel.com head and replied nonchalantly.
“Uh…” Willow was stunned when favonovel.com heard this.
Is Jane talking about the groundbreaking ceremony for Reach For Will Group’s land downtown?
Willow only knew there was a lot of buzz about it. She did not expect Jane’s father to be interested.
