The Guardian’s Sword by Talking Cigarette

Chapter 23
All the neighbors knew that Willow’s family worked at River City’s Quinn Corporation.
However, few people knew that Willow and her family were members of the Quinn family.
Old Madam Quinn said she did not want t o be embarrassed.
Therefore, she dissociated herself from them. Suddenly, a woman asked with a sneer.
“Oh yes, Willow. The young man who often visits you drives a nice car whenever he comes. It can’t be his, can it?
Everyone knew that Willow was engaged t o a vegetable.
However, Quill came over almost every day. Gossip was inevitable around here.
“Not really.”
Willow knew these people were just trying to make fun of her, so she did not want to stay.
“You should be careful if it’s not.”
“With such an amazing car parked in front of your house, you probably can’t afford to pay if you scratch
it.”
“Maybe you’ll involve us in this if you don’t admit your mistakes.”
The crowd sneered with a teasing note in their voices.
“It’s a mere Ferrari. So what if you smash it?”
A calm voice rang, and everyone instantly shut up. Ferrari! Mere? The word “mere” was the keyword! Swoosh! Everyone turned
their heads around and looked in the direction of the voice. Sean looked
indifferent as he propelled his wheelchair slowly out of the yard door.
“The veg... I heard Fion say the vegetable i s no longer braindead while we played poker yesterday. Is it true?”

“Is he not a vegetable? A multimillion-dollar Ferrari is only a mere thing to him. If he’s not a vegetable, who is?”
“Bro, you’re frigging awesome for using the word ‘mere’!”
“What’ s the matter? Can you afford it?”
After everyone came to themselves, they all looked at Sean, feeling a little speechless.
‘Who the hell are you?’
‘A freeloading, wheelchair-bound vegetable who doesn’t even care about a Ferrari.’
Sean glanced indifferently at the crowd before slowly withdrawing his gaze.
The tiger disdained company with pests even when it had fallen.
Dragons did not dwell with snakes.
“Watch out, veg. Your wheelchair better not touch this luxury car.”
“Yeah, you’ll probably need at least two thousand dollars to get away with scratching a car like that with your nails.”
The crowd sneered as Sean propelled his wheelchair closer and closer to the car.
Sean turned a deaf ear to what these people said. “Willow, do you like it?”
Sean asked as he slowly reached out his hand to point at the car.
“I... don’t like it.”
Willow paused a little before shaking her head slightly. The crowd once again shook their head as they laughed disdainfully. ‘Like
it?’ ‘So what whether she likes it or not?’ “I want the truth. Do you like it?” Sean smiled and spoke softly as he looked at Willow.
Sean was like a new man when he faced
Willow.
“... Yes, but...”
Willow pondered for a few seconds before nodding. “If you like it, then it’s yours.”

Sean nodded slightly and reached into his arms to take out the car keys.
“Mine...”
Willow’ s eyes widened as she muttered.
“I realize that the veg is no longer braindead but has become deranged. Hahaha!”
“Yeah, he even said it’s hers if she likes it. How boastful.”
The crowd roared with laughter, but the laughter soon stopped abruptly.
They only saw Sean slowly reaching in to take out a car key fob that matched the car paint.
They even caught sight of the black horse logo with a yellow bottom on the car key clearly.
Beep beep!
He pressed the fob, and the Ferrari unlocked immediately.
“Hsss!” Everyone was shocked. ‘Is the car... the car Sean’s?’ ‘How... how did he get it?’ ‘He’s not just bragging about everything
h e said.’ ‘It’s the truth!’
The truth is that they used the multimillion-dollar sports car to make fun of Sean.
However, Sean was the real owner of the car.
“Gosh! It... it belongs to this veg... him?”
“Most Ferrari car keys aren’t smart keys, and his smart key is definitely customized.’
“This car definitely cost more than four million dollars...”
The scorn vanished from all faces.
Instead, they blushed in shame.
Willow gaped at the sports car and had mixed feelings when she saw the gentle smile on Sean’s face.
