"Oh, Simon and Faye are so capable."
"The Larson family of River City are notoriously difficult to get a hold of. I can't believe Simon convinced them."
"See? This is capability. This is skill!"
Some members of the Quinn family fawned over them, while some were jealous.
On the surface, they praised Simon and Faye.
If they finalized the deal, the two of them would become the Quinn family's heroes and Old Madam Quinn's favorites!
Why would the members of the Quinn family not suck up to them immediately?
"I'm so happy to see that the Quinn family has qualified successors.
"Simon and Faye are very capable, and I feel at ease handing over the Quinn family to them."
Old Madam Quinn sat in a chair, looking relieved.
Everyone in the Quinn family froze when they heard that. What Old Madam Quinn meant was that Simon and Faye would inherit the main fortune of the Quinn family!
With this in mind, people were behaving more obsequiously to Simon and Faye.
"Grandma, it's really nothing!
"I think it's my duty as a member of the Quinn family to look out for and contribute to the family!
"Everyone says I'm just a pretty face, but the truth is I'm always looking out for the Quinn family. At the very least, I don't want to drag the Quinn family down or embarrass it."
Faye looked serious, utterly sincere, and a little distressed.
It was as if she had been misunderstood.
"Faye, you can't say that about yourself. How could you possibly embarrass the Quinn family?"
"Yes, you didn't drag the Quinn family down either. Someone did, but they seem to have no idea."
"Hmph! Speaking of which, it makes me mad. The Quinn family was so well-regarded once, but we became a laughingstock because of someone."
Sure enough, Faye's self-deprecating remarks instantly brought the conversation to Sean and Willow.
That was her goal.
Willow was silent while Sean closed his eyes to rest as if everything outside was irrelevant.
"Hmph! Faye is just a pretentious scheming b*tch!"
Fion mumbled as she felt disgruntled.
