All this showed that the private room was not for ordinary people.
After Quentin, Shania, Sean, Ronald, and Lillian sat on the brown couch, the female attendant who followed them
inside smiled and said, "Mayor Lewis, there are staff outside who can help you if you need anything, or you can just
contact me. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first..."
"Okay, I'll leave you to your work." Quentin nodded with a smile.
After the female attendant left, Ronald asked curiously, "Mayor Lewis, the woman earlier..."
"She's Celine James, the owner of New Era Cinema," Quentin replied.
Ronald was immediately impressed!
Sean was a little surprised. He thought the woman was an attendant. He did not expect her to be the owner of the
cinema.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was not easy for a woman to own such a grand cinema. It was because this was not Dragon Kingdom but the
City-State Union.
In the chaotic City-State Union, the idea that women were inferior to men was deeply rooted in the people's minds.
It was difficult for women to make it here.
The female owner named Celine looked like she was in her late 20s, but she had already such an accomplishment.
She was indeed tough.
The movie began to play.
However, the only people interested in the movie were the two girls, Lillian and Shania.
Neither Quentin, Ronald, nor Sean had any interest in what was going on in the movie. They were not there to
watch the movie.
"Commander Lennon and Mr. Townsend, I'm sorry for what the captain of my personal guard, Tobias, did earlier..."
Quentin spoke first.
"It's alright. It's in the past. Besides, you didn't order him to do such a thing." Ronald's face was full of smiles.
"But it's still my responsibility. I didn't control my people well."
Ronald was flattered by Quentin's attitude. However, Ronald knew why Quentin was apologizing in front of him. It
was all because of Sean!
If it were not for Sean, Quentin would never have invited him and his daughter to a private meeting at New Era
Cinema, much less to apologize in person. After all, the difference in their status was obvious. It was not something
you could erase easily.
Sean asked faintly, "So, how did you take care of Tobias?"
"Tobias has been tried by an emergency court and is now imprisoned for life," Quentin said solemnly.
Hearing this, Sean nodded with satisfaction.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe City-State Union's life imprisonment was indeed for life.
One would be locked up until death. Besides that, it was not just ordinary detention. One had to do manual labor
every day!
It was unlike Dragon Kingdom, where it was only life imprisonment in name, but was actually only 25 years, and one
could get a reduced sentence for good behavior. At least the City-State Union's punishment was far more severe
than Dragon Kingdom.
Ronald was pleased with the result, of course.
He nodded and said, "Thank you, Mayor Lewis. Frederic has told me that he has retrieved the antiques Tobias took.
Besides that, he also got a nice compensation. Mayor Lewis, this is all thanks to you. Here's a toast to you!"
With that said, Ronald picked up the coffee cup in front of him.
After picking up the coffee cup, Ronald realized this was not a restaurant and what he picked up was not wine, so he
quickly corrected himself. "Let's use coffee instead of wine. Hahaha..."
Quentin nodded before taking a sip of his coffee.
