The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 810

“Mom, I want to stay with Uncle Sean…”

Candy said cautiously as she looked at Leah.

Leah’s eyes turned, and she stared at Candy for a few seconds.

Finally, she made up her mind.

Even if it troubled Sean, she could only do it to give Candy a good living environment.

“I want to stay here.”

Leah looked at Liana and said her decision earnestly.

“Well…”

Liana froze. She did not expect Leah, who had always been cowardly, to refuse her in the face.

“See our guests to the door.”

Sean picked up Candy and left the living room.

Leah had made her choice, and now it was his turn.

Liana and Faye left the villa in disgrace.

Leah and the Quinn family’s issue was over for now.

From now on, Leah and her daughter would live in Sean’s house.

Fion could only accept that.

Leah thanked Sean again once they were gone.

“Forget about it.

“I believe in destiny and that we can decide our destiny.

“So I will start a company that will focus on cosmetics and beauty–related categories.

“You and Willow can run this company together.”

Sean told Candy his plan as he folded origami with Candy.

Willow paused slightly when she heard that.

She did not even know when Sean had thought of these things.

He had even paved the way for her and Leah.

“Can… Can I do it?”

Leah widened her eyes, as she paused slightly.

Without further comment, Sean reached out and pinched Candy’s face.

“Leah, just do whatever Sean says.”

Willow muttered as she patted Leah on the back.

“Okay!”

Leah nodded gently and agreed.

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

The Zimmer family had had a difficult time during these two days.

Jon had secured the best land in River City, which was the biggest and most promising. He was ready

to pour money into it to achieve something big.

However, there were formal procedures that were difficult to settle.

Besides that, due to the high compensation Sean offered, the compensation amount they had to pay

also increased.

The original residents refused to sign if they did not at least match the price that Sean offered,

After holding out for two days, Jon could not take it anymore.

iked it or

He had to take part in the price war whether he liked it or not.

It was only going to hurt Zimmer Corporation badly if this dragged on.

After all, he had spent a lot of money on the land. It was fair to say that he had bet the Zimmer family’s

fate on it.

The Zimmer family would face a huge crisis if something went wrong at this point.

Therefore, Jon could not sleep over these two days.

Today, he finally decided to go with Sean’s price.

However, when he was in his office planning the rest of the development process, Quill returned to the

office gloomily.

“Didn’t I ask you to negotiate with the original residents? Why are you back so soon?”

Jon looked at Quill and asked in surprise. ‘Did it go so well?”

“Dad, it didn’t work out.”

Quill shook his head and sat down in the chair.

“What do you mean? Why didn’t it work out?”

Jon asked, surprised.

He had already matched Sean’s compensation price, but they still refused to sign.

“The resident representative said the land is worth several times more than Sean’s land.

“So we’re going to have to increase our compensation by 20% over what Sean is offering before they

sign.”

Quill angrily lit a cigarette and reported to Jon what happened today.

*F*ck!”

Jon furiously smashed the desk.

It was already well above the market price, and they had to increase it by another 20%.

If they paid this price, they would probably drain the last of the Zimmer family’s money!

“Dad, I can find someone to scare them if we have no other choice.

“Violent evictions are normal.”

Quill rolled his eyes and began to have funny ideas.

“No.

“We can do that if most people have signed, and there are some stubborn ones left.

“But no one has signed it. It’s not that easy to use that method when they’re all united.”

Jon waved his hand. He did this all the time, but it depended on the situation.

He had countless means to make the stubborn residents give in.

However, there was nothing he could do if everyone was determined.

“What do we do then? We’ll lose money if we keep delaying the land development.

“We’re ruining ourselves by delaying it!”

Quill scratched his head irritably. He was so busy he did not socialize with the Quinn family these

days.

“No, let’s wait a little longer.

It's a lot of money.It's going to use up all of our money.John sat down slowly onthe couch, muttering to

himself.Only when a company had enough money couldit have the confidence to do things.If they had

no money, any storm thathit them could send them into bankruptcy.Therefore, he dared not act

recklessly.There's no hurry.We haven't settled the formalities anyway.Even if we did, we can't start right

away.Let's wait.We'll wait for the formalities first.John tried to stay calm as heanalyzed it quickly in his

head.Just then, the female assistant knocked on the doorhappily and entered with a file in her hand.

Mr.Zimmer, we've completed all the formalities.The strings you pulled must have worked.All the

formalities have been settled, the femaleassistant reported, her face full of excitement. Really?John

froze and excitedly lit a cigar.It was considered the only good news these days.In that case, Quill,

prepare to talkto them with the company fund.Just pay the price they want with the fund.John waved

his big hand, looking generous.It was the day he had been waiting for.Yes, Quill responded before

immediately turning aroundto walk out of the office.What John did not know was thatSean was also

waiting for this day.He was waiting for John to use the company fund.It was because some money was

easy to spend,but filling that hole would be a little difficult.
