First, he had to find out who was behind the incident with Far Ocean Loan Company.
He preferred to get to the root of the problem.
Sean could use his influence to destroy Far Ocean Loan Company.
However, if he had no idea who was behind it, a second or even a third loan company would come along.
It would be a real pain in the neck for Sean.
Sean suspected Quill was the person behind it.
However, he could only find out what was going on after Homer and the rest looked into it.
It was soon 9 pm, and Willow came home too.
The food on the dining table was already cold.
Willow was in no mood to eat either, so she sat on the couch in a daze.
"Willow."
Just then, Fion and Kent came out of the bedroom looking ghastly.
"Ah... Mom, haven't you two gone to bed?
"Get some rest. I'll take care of the dishes."
Willow immediately got up and forced a smile when she saw them.
"What were you doing just now?
"How are things?"
Fion waved her hand slightly and slowly sat down on the couch across from Willow.
"It's nothing serious. You have nothing to worry about. It's just some small disputes.
"I can solve it."
Willow said in a nonchalant tone as she smiled and waved her hands.
Fion had finally changed her opinions about Sean.
Willow did not want Fion to find out about this.
Otherwise, her new positive impression of Sean might fade away again.
Smack!
As soon as Willow finished speaking, Fion suddenly smacked the table.
"You're still covering for that loser? I know everything!"
Fion pointed at the door of Sean's room and raised her voice sharply.
Willow bit her mouth slightly and looked at Fion in surprise.
"How... how did you know..."
Willow's eyes widened. She had no idea how Fion and Kent knew.
"How did we know...
"Everyone in the Quinn family knows!
"Just accept that he has no money. Why go beyond his own abilities to borrow money?
"That loser has disgraced our family!"
Fion got angrier as she spoke, bellowing and smacking the table.
Even Kent frowned and said nothing this time.
In the past, Kent would be there to console Fion whenever she scolded Sean.
However, he could not accept what Sean did today.
He could accept that Sean was incompetent, but he could not accept that Sean had given the Quinn family such a big problem.
"Dad, Mom, we haven't looked into this, so things might not be what you think."
Willow clenched her teeth and looked up at Fion.
"Hmph! You'd better figure out how to settle this.
"Old Madam Quinn won't let him stay in the Quinn family this time."
Fion then turned and headed for the bedroom.
When she reached the door, she paused and glanced at Sean's door.
"If he's innocent, why doesn’t he come out and explain himself?
"I think he's ashamed for having done something bad."
With that said, Fion entered her room and slammed the door.
"Willow, I'm not taking your side on this one."
Kent glanced at Willow and said as he shook his head slightly.
"Now that your grandma and the rest of the family know, and they'll gather at Quinn Corporation branch tomorrow.
"You'd better make up your mind tonight."
Kent shook his head slightly and then said, "I haven't worn the watch Sean gave me. You can sell it later. It'll help with the debt even though it's not much."
With that said, Kent slowly returned to his bedroom.
Willow stood where she was for two minutes. Then she pushed the door open and walked into Sean's room.
Sean had just put his phone down. He seemed as if he had just finished talking on the phone.
"Why didn't you go out and defend yourself?"
Willow asked Sean as she stood in the doorway.
"Believe me. I don't need to explain.
"If they don't believe me, they won't believe me even if I've explained."
Sean looked up slowly and made eye contact with Willow, his tone calm.
