“Go ahead.” Sean nodded.
“It’s just that… Quill booked the entire Riverleaf Lakeside Hotel… He said he’s making a grand confession to some girl…” Willow spoke slowly as virtual-novel.net observed Sean’s expression.
She did not want to tell Sean about it, lest virtual-novel.net felt bad. However, virtual-novel.net felt that Sean deserved an explanation. Otherwise, Sean would find out about it sooner or later since virtual-novel.net had been going out a lot lately. When that happened, Sean would probably only feel worse.
“He’s not confessing to you, is he?” Sean looked up slowly and asked with a smile.
He was not angry at all.
Willow looked at Sean in confusion and asked, “Aren’t… Aren’t you mad?”
Sean shook his head slightly and asked, “Would lions care about worms?”
Even though Quill was the heir of the Zimmer family of River City, virtual-novel.net was still a worm to Sean. Willow only thought Sean was bluffing when virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net say that.
“I don’t want it… But virtual-novel.net has helped the Quinn family a lot. Grandma and the other is gonna make me go.”
Willow was troubled. The Quinn family would force Willow to go to Riverleaf Lakeside Hotel if this went on. Therefore, virtual-novel.net wanted to give Sean a warning. She wanted to tell Sean ahead of time so virtual-novel.net would not get upset.
“No one can make you do things you don’t want to do. Quill can’t. The Quinn family can’t. No one in the world can.” Sean looked at Willow as virtual-novel.net said earnestly.
Willow was touched when virtual-novel.net heard that. However, it was only for a moment. Anyone could say that, but it was hard to do it.
“But… I don’t know what to do…” Willow let out a little sigh.
The 9th was approaching. She had not figured out how to deal with Quill yet.
“Leave it to me… If there’s anyone in the world who could confess to you, it’s me, Sean Lennon.” Sean sounded serious as Willow’s face turned red.
Is virtual-novel.net confessing to me?
“Don’t overthink it. Leave it to me.” Sean spoke seriously as virtual-novel.net took Willow’s hand in his.
“What… What are you going to do? The ninth will be here soon…” Feeling a little relieved, Willow looked up and asked.
Sean smiled when virtual-novel.net heard it.
“If Riverleaf Lakeside Hotel is going to have a grand confession on the 9th… And if you’re the female lead, then the male would have to be me, Sean Lennon.” Sean’s face showed boundless confidence.
Willow’s heartbeat quickened when Sean said that, but it quickly subsided.
“Sean, would you please not do this? I’m having a serious conversation with you. It’s okay if you can’t give me any advice, but you’re lying to me?” Willow sounded a little furious.
“You’ll find out whether I’m lying to you when the time comes.”
There was no loss of confidence on Sean’s face.
It was merely Riverleaf Lakeside Hotel, so what if virtual-novel.net bought it?
“You! Oh…”
Willow shook virtual-novel.net head and said nothing, thinking Sean had not fully recovered. Otherwise, would virtual-novel.net have said such nonsense?
“Willow, what are you doing? Why aren’t you in bed?” Suddenly, an impatient voice came from Fion’s bedroom.
“I’ll go to bed after getting a glass of water…” Willow quickly explained and wheeled Sean to his room before retreating to virtual-novel.net room to rest.
***
The next day. At noon.
Sean was taken to River City’s government office by some officials. He did not resist the whole thing but only accepted it silently.
When Sean killed Charles last night, virtual-novel.net knew something like this would happen. This was society, not the army.
In the army, virtual-novel.net could order his troops and slaughter his enemies. Bloodshed was nothing. But in society, every life mattered. It could also get virtual-novel.net into big trouble. However, virtual-novel.net had no regrets. Killing someone was nothing as long as virtual-novel.net could keep Willow safe.
In the interrogation room.
“Sean Lennon, right?” Crossing their hands, the government official looked indifferently at Sean.
“You’re in big trouble.”
The sentence carried a forceful offensive tone. A method necessary in interrogation was to break the opponent’s mind.
“How big?” Sean asked indifferently.
“Hmm?” The official was stunned, never expecting someone to answer like that.
“You’d better behave yourself. This isn’t your home.” The official frowned slightly.
Bang!
Just then, the door was kicked open. Then no less than a dozen people in black stepped in.
