He did not expect Snow to be Stephen’s woman!Liam put two and two together and immediately guessed that Snow probably wanted to use Stephen as her shield.What a cunning woman!Stephen did not know why Liam reacted so strongly to this piece of information.“Is Snow Green really with you?” Liam asked in confirmation.“Yes, she is!” Stephen felt uneasy. Did Snow get into an accident somewhere and someone had to collect her body?He quickly asked, “What happened to Snow?”Liam took a deep breath and said, “I don’t know. We’re also looking for her. Do you know what Snow has done in the past?”Stephen frowned. “She’s just the daughter of a steel magnate. What could she have done?”Upon hearing those words, Liam immediately knew that Stephen had fallen for the cunning woman’s devices.“You’ve been deceived. She has a record of defrauding millions, and she’s hurt people...” Liam listed Snow’s crimes.Stephen stood frozen in place, unable to move. He could not believe it!Snow was
“Are you going to bear the consequences if the criminal escapes?” Liam was a little angry.Nina’s case had gone cold for three years. There had to be an explanation.Furthermore, with everything that Snow had done, she could not be allowed to continue roaming free.“I’ll take responsibility!” Stephen felt like his heart was being pierced and was bleeding endlessly. “If she’s truly guilty, I... I’ll personally cuff her.”It took him all his courage and strength to utter those words.“Don’t forget what you just said.” Liam pulled him forward.They then approached Snow.“Snow.”Her body trembled when she heard Stephen’s voice. She raised her head to look at him. “Why are you here? Did you finish your business in Aqua City?”Stephen did not seem to hear her question and asked anxiously, “Did you...”Snow interrupted him, “Yes. Everything they say is true. I’ve hurt many people.”She clenched her fists and raised them slowly.It was as if she was waiting for the handcuffs!Boom
Stephen stared straight at the ceiling. “Snow was arrested. She’s committed so many crimes.”“Huh?” George thought he heard wrongly. “Is that all? Did you forget who you are? You’re a young mogul from Metropolis. It’ll be easy as pie for you to get her out!”At those words, Stephen’s eyes instantly lit up. “That’s right! I can save her!”However, he soon thought of something else.“She seems to be tied to an unsolved case from three years ago. Her friend killed a family of thirteen before committing suicide.”George agreed that that did complicate things.“Although it’s problematic, it’s still resolvable. Your family can get her out as long as she cooperates.”Those words completely awakened Stephen.That was right!He still had the Quinns! With the Quinns’ support, freeing Snow would be easy.He immediately called Simon.“Dad, I need a favor!”Simon was confused. “What is it? Did something happen in Aqua City?”“No,” Stephen said. “Aqua City is doing well. It’s Snow.”“H
Oliver did not understand and simply said, “Okay, I got it.”When Liam hung up, he quickly sent a message to the other bosses.“Ethan sent someone to tell me that Snow has been arrested, but the Quinns are planning to get her out. What does that mean?”The other bosses read the message but also did not understand.Why would they be informed about the Quinns wanting to release her?Were they supposed to tell the Quinns that they were not allowed to?Could they even do that?Even if they combined their forces, they would not be able to stand up to a finger from the Quinns.“I don’t get it either.”“Maybe it was just to inform us?”Oliver shook his head. “From my understanding of Ethan, he doesn’t do things without a reason. Each move he makes has a deeper purpose. Think carefully!”He found a place to sit down and began to ponder deeply.What was Ethan trying to say?“He didn’t eliminate us but told us this instead. What exactly is he thinking? Wait! He didn’t eliminate us?”
Since the topic involved Stephen, the rumor that the Quinns were trying to release a criminal quickly attracted attention.“What? Stephen has a mistress? That’s vile!”“Not only does he have a mistress, but she’s even a criminal!”“He even wants his family to bail her out!”“What is he doing?”The internet was enraged. While they did not even have a girlfriend, Stephen had Rachel, and now he was keeping Snow as his mistress.After Snow was arrested, he wanted to use the Quinns to bail her out using their power.“Stephen Quinn, come out and explain yourself. Why are you protecting a criminal?”“I thought that Stephen was a righteous person, but it seems he’s not after all. Heh.”“Is it really appropriate to let someone this rotten manage Riveria?”The discussions quickly escalated. Everyone who heard about the situation was infuriated.Simon was making arrangements for Snow. He planned to give her a new identity and wipe her slate clean.Just then, he received a call from th
Stephen was stunned. They could not save Snow?“Why?” He panicked. “Didn’t you promise me that you would get her out? Why are you suddenly saying that you can’t now?”Simon was also helpless. He wanted to help, but he could not. The whole internet was watching their every move now.If they saved Snow, it would undoubtedly cause an uproar.“Someone posted what Snow did and the fact that you wanted to release her online. Everyone is watching us now. We can save her, and we mustn’t.”Boom!Simon’s words exploded like thunder in Stephen’s ears.He froze in his spot, wide-eyed and unable to move.Someone had reported them!The whole internet was watching them!“How could this be?”Stephen almost dropped his phone. The incident had already sparked a wave of online discussion. It would be courting death if he insisted on rescuing Snow.“Who was it? Who reported us?”Stephen was on the verge of breaking down. He had been so close to saving Snow.Now, everything was ruined. No mat
“I have something to tell you,” Snow said. “Be careful of Oliver and the others.”“Why?” Stephen looked at Snow in surprise. Why was she warning him about her adoptive father?“They’re not really trying to help you. In fact, they’ve had their eyes on Aqua City for a long time. They must have some sort of scheme up their sleeves.”Stephen frowned. Oliver and the others were up to no good?“I’ll investigate them when I get back!” Snow nodded and said, “You have to take care of yourself while I’m not around. Goodbye.”Their time was up.Snow was taken back into her cell.Stephen continued to sit there, staring at the empty space on the other side of the glass. He felt as if something was missing from his heart too.Finally, he staggered to his feet and walked out in a daze.With the entire internet watching, he had no choice but to follow Simon’s plan. Any misstep could be devastating.Not long after, Simon sent him the statement.Stephen looked at the words on the paper, each
He was simply taking advantage of the approval Stephen provided to exploit workers, discharge pollutants, and significantly raise product prices, while preparing to push out competing companies in the future.Even if Stephen objected, he would get fined at most.However, his factories would still remain, running day and night, constantly polluting the environment of Aqua City and damaging the local industry chain...Everything he did was completely legal!Stephen fell into thought.‘He has over a dozen factories in the country, each worth over a hundred million. It’s true that running away is not an option. Besides, I’ve sent people to keep an eye on him, so he can’t escape anyway.‘That means he’s telling the truth. He can’t become the next Brandon or Howard. Did Snow lie to me?’At that moment, Oliver asked, “Why do you suddenly suspect me? Did Snow say something? Alas, I didn’t expect that she would still try to deceive you at this point. It’s my fault for not educating her w
