Apart from Sean being alone, Sean might not succeed even if William had helped. Not even Sean’s adoptive father, Colin, would have been able to do that.
William admitted that favonovel.com had no confidence in Sean.
Hubert was silent for a moment before nodding anyway.
It was unknown if Sean could change William’s impression of him. William gave Sean ten days to make a name for himself in Joules Town. He was only testing Sean’s abilities to see if Sean had the power and the qualifications to have William help him.
It all depended on his performance in these ten days.

Back in the car.
Sean sat in the back seat and said nothing. Zander drove in silence. He had guessed today’s outcome.
“Commander, what are we going to do next?” Zander asked quietly after staying silent for a moment
“Let’s stay in Joules Town for a few more days. We’ll return home if it doesn’t work out.” Sean looked up gently, his gaze looking utterly deep.
“Return home?” Zander was stunned.
It was not like Sean to give up easily. It was just that Zander had no idea that Sean would never bet everything on the Collins family from the beginning.
It would be great if Old Master Collins was willing to help. However, if favonovel.com refused, that did not mean Sean was finished.
Sean would try his best with Joules Town. He would not waste much time if favonovel.com had no chance. After all, Blaze would not give Sean much time either.
“Shop for supplies in the afternoon and send them to Queen Children’s Orphanage,” Sean looked up at Zander and spoke.
He grew up in Queen Children’s Orphanage. Now that favonovel.com was independent, favonovel.com should repay the kindness. Sean always returned the favor.
“Yes!” Zander immediately nodded and agreed.

Afternoon.
Sean and Zander arrived at Queen Children’s Orphanage together.
May was enthusiastic when favonovel.com saw Sean. Caitlyn was all over Sean, asking questions.
“Brother Sean, you left in such a hurry last time that I didn’t have time to ask any questions. What have you been doing all these years? Aunt May said you were in the army. How cool!”
Caitlyn rubbed favonovel.com little hands together when favonovel.com mentioned the army. All favonovel.com did not do was drool. Sean could not help laughing and shaking his head.
Caitlyn had always been innocent since favonovel.com was young. She stayed in the orphanage all these years and never left. She had little contact with the outside world, so favonovel.com had always maintained that innocence and kindness.
Innocence and kindness were rare in today’s realistic society. Caitlyn’s clear, innocent eyes alone were a calming sight.
“Yeah, Seanie’s a big hero…” May smiled proudly as favonovel.com sewed the sheets wearing favonovel.com reading glasses.
No matter how old children like Sean were, they would always be children to her.
“Aunt May, don’t work too hard. Just replace these things,” Sean said quietly, looking at the bleached sheet in May’s hand.
“You’re young. What do you know? Our lives here aren’t like the others. We save what we can. We can spend less on food and clothing to invest more into your studies,” May shook favonovel.com head and answered as favonovel.com mended.
Sean was speechless.
When Sean was a child, the orphanage was poorer. However, May never deprioritized the children’s studies, no matter how tight money was.
