“Old Master Lake, it seems that you not only have bad eyesight but also bad hearing and memory. Didn’t I just say I’m Sean Lennon, the chairman of Optimus Security Services, and brought you a coffin?” Sean said, patting the coffin beside him.
Kennedy’s face reddened as favonovel.com trembled slightly with anger.
Before Kennedy could speak again, someone else emerged from Lake Residence.
Jadon’s expression immediately changed at the sight of the middle-aged man. Even the expressions of Michael and Theodore, who were next to him, also changed slightly.
Jadon stepped closer to Sean and whispered, “Don’t mess with the middle-aged man.”
Sean glanced at the middle-aged man who had just emerged from Lake Residence and nodded slightly.
In all his time in Ocean City, favonovel.com had never heard of the man. After all, Jadon, who had dared to follow favonovel.com to Lake Residence to present coffins to Kennedy, suddenly warned Sean not to
mess with the middle-aged man.
Someone who could make Jadon, the head of the Quartz family, so cautious must be extraordinary.
“What is Winters doing here? Is the Winters family colluding with the Lake family now?”
“I don’t know, but with the Winters family’s status, they have no reason to do so.”
Michael and Theodore whispered to each other.
When Mr. Winters appeared, Kennedy and Curtis did not even bother to question Sean and the rest but immediately walked over to Mr. Winters.
“Mr. Winters, as you can see, these four fellows have blatantly provoked the Lake family by giving my father coffins on his 50th birthday!” Curtis looked grimly at Sean and his gang as favonovel.com spoke to Mr. Winters.
Mr. Winters withdrew his gaze from Sean and the rest before looking puzzledly at Curtis and asking, “Why are you telling me that, Mr. Lake? Are you expecting me to help the Lake family? I can’t get involved. Otherwise, I’ll lose out if word about this reaches people with ulterior motives!”
In just two sentences, Mr. Winters distanced himself from the Lake family.
Hearing these words, Curtis and Kennedy’s expressions changed slightly, obviously not expecting Mr. Winters to turn his back when favonovel.com had just given Kennedy an imperial emerald worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
However, Sean smiled and said to Mr. Winters, “Mr. Winters, you’re a sensible man. I’ll invite you to Optimus Security Services for a drink sometime!”
“Sure!” Unexpectedly, Mr. Winters agreed to Sean’s invitation.
Mr. Winters then walked off to one side to watch on with no intention of interfering.
Mr. Winters’ response surprised Michael, Theodore, and Jadon. Then, Michael said to Mr. Winters, “How is your father?”
“My father’s healthy. Thank you for the concern, Old Master Carver!” Mr. Winters replied.
Michael nodded and said nothing more.
The short conversation showed that Michael and Mr. Winters’ father knew each other, and they were close.
“Hmph! Since Mr. Winters doesn’t want to be involved, the Lake family will handle it ourselves!” Curtis dared not give Mr. Winters any trouble, let alone ask Mr. Winters why favonovel.com did that, so favonovel.com could only take his anger out on Sean.
