Jacob was thrilled when he heard this.
It was because William was old now—already 60 years old, but he was still healthy and energetic.
At this rate, he would have no problem living for another ten years.
Besides, he had Hubert before him.
Therefore, Jacob did not think he could take over the Collins family and be the patriarch. However, he did not expect William to come to a rude awakening and take the initiative to relinquish power because of Sean.
It was a huge blessing for him.
In that case, Sean was probably his good luck charm!
With that in mind, Jacob made up his mind secretly that he must strengthen his bond with Sean and keep in touch with him more often.
"Yes, Father. I got it. I'll work hard!"
Jacob said excitedly.
Queen Children's Orphanage.
May walked in and asked in confusion, "Sean, what did William come to see you about? Wasn't he rude to you when you visited him earlier? Why did you come over tonight?"
May's series of questions left Sean at a loss for a moment.
However, he soon said with a smile, "Don't worry, Aunt. It's not a bad thing... William didn't want to help me at the beginning because he looked down on me. He thought there was no need to help me and no potential to invest in me. But I've proved my potential with what I have done during this period, so William has begun to hesitate to change his previous attitude and offer help.
"But neither William nor Jacob could imagine that I would coincidentally meet the person I wanted to meet without the Collins family's help. So I don't need the Collins family's help at all. William and Jacob freaked out. That's why they came rushing to me and apologized."
"Did you say yes in the end?"
