There was nothing Sam Matthews could do other than laying his head low and being a yes-man.
After yelling for another minute, Flint Howard forced himself to calm down.
They had to figure out a way to settle this immediately.
“You’d better keep your head down low as you settle this.
“You know clearly how you should settle it.
“But, remember, don’t you dare show that you know who Mr. Lennon is.”
Flint frowned and spoke coldly.
“Ah, Boss Flint, this…”
Sam was a little puzzled. If they were already sure of Mr. Lennon’s identity, should they not reverentially apologize and ask for his forgiveness?
“Under the circumstances where you don’t know who Mr. Lennon is, no harm no foul.
“If you already know that he’s Mr. Lennon, yet offended him on purpose, you’re dicing with death now!
“What you’re doing, is just pulling me into h*ll with you!”
Sam finally understood after Flint’s explanation.
“Also, Mr. Lennon mentioned that his family doesn’t like his involvement with the underworld.
“So, you do you.
“If you can’t even settle this properly, be prepared to atone for your f*cking deeds!”
Flint slammed the phone and hung up with a ‘bang!’.
Sam took a deep breath and lit a cigarette. After two long draws, he walked towards the hall.
…
In the hall.
“Sean Lennon, if you’re a man, take this up yourself.
“Don’t drag us Quinns down with you!”
Simon Quinn was extremely displeased as he broke the silence in the hall.
“Hah, if he’s a man?”
Faye Quinn hugged her arms and scoffed. “If he’s a human being, he shouldn’t have dragged our family through the mud with him.
“So much for us Quinns taking care of him for two whole years! Not only did he not return the favor, I think he wants us destroyed!”
The duo’s words had the other Quinns chime in with support.
At that moment, Sean had once again become the target of blame as everyone else banded together.
In the end, only Willow, Lexie Lincoln, and Kent Quinn remained silent.
Even the people from the legal department were looking at Sean unhappily.
Quill Zimmer was adding fuel to fire with his comments, while he watched everyone turn against Sean like the joke that he was.
However, Sean was still calm. There were no changes to his facial expression.
It was as if everything that was happening did not bother him one bit.
“Say, how can you still stay calm after all that we’ve said? You’re so shameless!”
Simon pointed at Sean and yelled.
“Simon Quinn, enough!
“You said Sean had no contribution to the Quinn Family at all, so do you mean that the contract deal with the Bennetts had nothing to do with Sean?”
Willow gritted her teeth and once again, stood in front of Sean and defended him.
Lexie was right. Even if all of the Quinns did not believe Sean, Willow would have to believe in him.
