Sean Lockwood’s overbearing presence didn’t last long. As he faced off against Anna Morgan and Serena Sullivan, steady footsteps were heard from the door. A cold, expressionless face ca into view, montarily stunning Sean Lockwood and diminishing his aura.
Since childhood, he feared Carter Lockwood the most.
Seeing Carter Lockwood coming in with four or five bodyguards made his heart race inexplicably, giving him a bad premonition.
"Uncle."
He was the first to speak, calling out. Serena Sullivan and Anna Morgan, who had their backs to the door, turned in surprise to see Carter Lockwood already by their side.
Why is Carter Lockwood here!
Anna Morgan looked at Serena Sullivan in confusion. Serena Sullivan smiled with a closed mouth, deepening her puzzlent.
"Why are you here?"
Sean Lockwood asked, also curious about what his uncle was doing at The Sullivan Corporation.
The Sullivan Corporation has no shares owned by the Lockwood Family, nor had he heard that his uncle recently bought shares in The Sullivan Corporation.
"Have the flowers and plants in the garden at ho been trimd?"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Several voices spoke simultaneously from the mouths of Sean Lockwood, Anna Morgan, and others as they heard Carter Lockwood continue to ask, "If they haven’t been trimd, why are you out here!"
"Uncle!"
Sean Lockwood had realized.
Yesterday, his uncle, Carter Lockwood, for so unknown reason, pointed at the vast garden of the Lockwood Family, telling Sean Lockwood to trim it.
When King Yama speaks, his father turns a blind eye, and his mother was unable to stop him. His grandparents, who doted on him, weren’t around, so he had no choice but to obediently start trimming.
The work of trimming the garden was too exhausting. After working for a long ti, he was only halfway done. He received a call from Zoe in the morning, not caring if the garden had been fully trimd!
He didn’t like such tiring work at all.
Thinking Carter Lockwood was too busy to bother with his little affairs, he jauntily ca over to act as Zoe’s protector.
Who would’ve thought his uncle had so much free ti to co to The Sullivan Corporation to fetch him back to trim the garden.
"No more of that, go back."
Carter Lockwood spoke coldly. His words were always concise and direct, his tone carrying a chill that made Sean Lockwood across from him shiver.
"Uncle."
No matter how much he feared Carter, for Zoe’s sake, Sean Lockwood had to resist.
He had to at least attend The Sullivan Corporation’s shareholder eting before going back.
"I have very important matters today. I’ll return later to trim the garden."
Seeing Zoe bullied by Serena Sullivan and Anna Morgan like that, if he left, Zoe would endure more grievances.
Anna Morgan hadn’t even apologized to him yet!
"Since you’re so available, trim the garden on the east side as well!"
Carter Lockwood said coldly.
Sean Lockwood’s face turned pale; the garden on the east side was even larger. Was his uncle trying to work him to death in the garden?
What enmity and grudges did he and his uncle have!
"Drag him away!"
Before Sean Lockwood could open his mouth to plead with Carter, Carter resolutely uttered two words.
Two tall bodyguards stepped forward. In front of Zoe Quinn, Anna Morgan, Serena Sullivan, and the employees of The Sullivan Corporation, they grabbed Sean Lockwood’s hands.
Just monts ago, when Sean Lockwood and Zoe Quinn had entered, Zoe Quinn had a face full of pride, holding Sean Lockwood tightly, as if afraid others wouldn’t know she was connected to the young master of the Lockwood Family.
With a turn, Carter Lockwood’s words took away the leg she clung to.
The contrast, the slap in the face, everyone could hear the sound of "slap, slap."
Anna Morgan watched Sean Lockwood about to be taken away, feeling extrely satisfied.
Uncle Carter was truly badass!
"Uncle!"
Seeing her protector about to be dragged away, Zoe Quinn’s eyes turned red. She looked at Carter, sobbing and exclaiming.
"Uncle? What do you even count as!"
