The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 1169

The car.

Willow looked at Jane’s call and gently tapped to hang up.

“I can’t believe Jane is such a snob now.

“She wasn’t like this before.”

Willow shook her head slightly. Had she known Jane was like this, she would never have agreed to a

meal with her.

“You better stay away from such friends in the future.”

Sean replied casually as he drove.

“Oh, I’ve lost all my friends since we got together!”

Speechless, Willow curled her lip and said to Sean.

“People ignore you when you’re poor, but they’ll try to visit you in the mountains when you’re wealthy.

“They’re mostly pointless socializing anyway. Why waste your time?

“Having three or two true friends is enough.”

Sean glanced at Willow and whispered in reply.

“Got it! Whatever you say.”

Willow tilted her head and leaned on Sean’s shoulder.

“By the way, are you going to the groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow?”

Sean asked Willow after recalling it.

“I was going to attend it.

“I heard Reach For Will Group made it a big deal. It’s not just a groundbreaking ceremony.

“It’s also an exchange summit for many rich businessmen. I’m attending it, of course!

“Besides, Lennon Group is also part of the Reach For Will Group. It wouldn’t be right for me to skip it.”

Willow nodded gently. Speaking of which, they were also Reach For Will Group employees, so they were

attending it.

“Okay, I have a present for you tomorrow.”

Sean looked ahead and spoke softly.

“What present?”

Willow asked curiously.

You’ll find out tomorrow.”

Sean smiled and kept her in suspense.

“You! You know I have OCD.”

Willow was frustrated. The more Sean refused to tell her, the more curious she became.

“Hmm… What do you think about me giving you the whole River City?”

Sean asked with a smile as he slowed down.

“What?”

Willow froze instantly.

She thought it was inappropriate for Sean to make such a joke!

‘The whole River City? Does he really think he’s the chairman of Reach For Will Group?‘

Willow had suspected it at first but then realized it was impossible.

“No way! You’re messing with me.”

Willow’s head shook like a rattle after pondering for a few seconds.

Other people might not know Sean well, but Willow knew him well.

After caring for Sean for two years, she knew all about Sean, not to mention the few moles he had.

Reach For Will Group was so wealthy that people dared not imagine how much money they had.

As for his connections, even Souz River’s Colton came to help them during the recent fight with Jen–

Bond Holdings.

How could someone with no status and background like Sean create a behemoth like Reach For Will

Group?

“I’m not.”

Sean shook his head slightly. He knew it would be hard for Willow to accept.

“Tsk, you are.

“I know you know Mr. Larson and Mr. Luke. You’re also close with Flint.

“But you can’t create something as big as Reach For Will Group if you put all of them together.”

Willow shook her head and spoke earnestly.

With a smile on his lips, Sean stopped explaining.

He would explain everything tomorrow.

He wanted to give Willow one last gift before he left. 12

“Stop smiling! I’m having a serious discussion with you.

“You need to stop trying to get me this and that. You made me seem like I’m some… material girl.”

Willow curled her lip, her voice a little resentful.

“Haha! No. I’m not.”

Sean was amused and could not help laughing.

He had never really thought of it that way.

If Willow was like that, there was no way she would take care of Sean for two years.

“Whether you are, I want you to understand that we’re not together because of money.

“I’ll stay with you even if you’re penniless.”

Willow slowly turned her head and looked seriously at Sean.

“Why?”

Sean asked with a smile.

“Because you’re my idol.

“Grandpa had told me about you long ago.”

Willow blushed as she spoke. Then she looked away in embarrassment.

In her teenage years, Old Master Levi Quinn would mention Sean to Willow on occasional visits to his

family.

Later, Sean joined the army and made numerous achievements.

Therefore, Willow idolized and looked forward to Sean until she met him.

Otherwise, she would not have cared for Sean for more than two years.

Their engagement was only secondary. The important thing was that Old Master Levi Quinn had planted

Sean in Willow’s heart long ago.

It was unforgettable to have someone in your heart when you were young and ignorant.

Sean smiled and said nothing more.

The next day.

River City downtown.

The area was an old town.

It took up thousands of acres and had never been developed.

After all, no one could take over such a large land in one go.

The upfront investment was probably ten figures, which was a lot of money.

Some mega developers in Dragon Kingdom wanted a piece of River City.

However, the qualification audit was quite rigorous, and Souz River did not want enterprises outside the

province to take over such an important project.

They wanted to keep the goodies to themselves.

Therefore, development had been delayed over the years.

However, Reach For Will Group was strong enough to take over the project in terms of wealth and

connections.

The company was relatively new, but it qualified after acquiring many companies in River City.

Today was the groundbreaking ceremony for the land downtown.

Sean also prepared to announce the man behind Reach For Will Group today to countless big shots in

River City.

At the same time, he was giving Willow Reach For Will Group as a gift.
