The Guardian's Return Chapter 346
Would they have ended up like this if they had not ridiculed and insulted Ethan and called for him to return instead?A single decision led to boundless regret!Seeing that he could no longer hide what happened to Julius, George went to the hospital to see Stephen.Alas, Stephen did not show any improvement. He had visibly lost weight.George said, “We need to hold a memorial service for Julius and Tommy.”Their bodies had already been cremated and buried. The memorial should have been held long ago, but with what happened to Stephen and the chaos spreading throughout Hill City, there was simply no time.Stephen did not react as if he did not hear George at all.George said helplessly, “You need to pull yourself together. They wouldn’t want to see you like this. Hill City and Riveria are still waiting for your return.”Stephen still did not move.George told the doctors and nurses to take care of Stephen.Recently, the cause of Nico’s death had been confirmed. He committed su

Now that the orchards were destroyed and the animals were gone, there was no way to earn money from fruit or livestock for the next six months or longer. It would greatly affect Hill City’s GDP!Previously, a large sum of money was spent replacing trees with new tea trees, but they were all gone now. Even the newly repaired highway was severely damaged.So much money had gone to waste. They would need even more funds to fix the highway.A week later, the city somewhat stabilized, and the final losses were calculated. By then though, Hill City’s economic losses reached 900 billion dollars. Its original GDP of 2.8 trillion dropped to 1.9 trillion. It was a massive blow.George looked at the figures and felt as if the sky was falling. With such losses and the sacrifices that Julius and Tommy made, he did not know how to write the report.However, even if he did not report it, headquarters already knew of the situation in Hill City. The online public outcry was overwhelming. They knew

The meeting soon ended.Simon hesitated for a while before calling George. “We came to an agreement...”George was already mentally prepared. “Tell me.”“You’ll have to go to jail, but you’ll be released in three years.”Go to jail for three years?George smiled wryly. He did not expect a governor like him to end up behind bars.He regretted it. If he had not chased Ethan away back then, he could have continued as the governor, living a carefree life.“What about the Lowes?” That was what George was most concerned about. He could handle jail, but what about Rachel?Simon said, “I’ll protect the Lowes. I’ll get Stephen to marry Rachel right away.”Upon hearing this, George felt slightly relieved. If Rachel married Stephen, she would be part of the Quinns. He would no longer have to worry about her.“But Stephen isn’t in a good state right now.”Simon said, “I’ll go see him again. He can’t go on like this!”He hung up and flew back to find Stephen again.When he saw Stephen

Stephen also used to think that he was a paragon among men, but now, he did not dare to perceive himself as such. After all, he knew about Ethan. They were similar in age, but Ethan’s accomplishments far exceeded his own.Stephen only had the position he had now thanks to the Quinns.What about Ethan?He was an orphan that the Grand Marshal adopted for only three years, but he was on his own from then on. However, he stabilized Riveria, drove out foreign forces, and turned Riveria into the top province in the country.George could tell that Stephen still did not have enough confidence.“You should understand now,” George said. “Neither you nor I have a way out. We must manage Riveria well.”Stephen knew that too.This time, George was going to jail to shield him. What about next time?Stephen would be alone in the future.George said, “Prepare yourself. We’ll fly back to the capital in the evening.” Then, he left.Stephen fell silent. He did not want to marry, not yet, at lea

Ethan was more dashing and considerate than Stephen.Furthermore, Ethan was not indecisive like Stephen. He was a great cook and always spoke to her gently.Ethan also managed Riveria well, unlike Stephen who stirred up trouble in every city he touched. This time, even her father was going to jail because of him!Stephen caused her father’s imprisonment, but he wanted to marry her now? If not for Simon and George’s persuasion, she would have already blown up at Stephen. She wished that the one marrying her was Ethan instead.However, she no longer had any other choice. With George going to jail, the Lowes needed the Quinns.Her smile in the living room earlier was just for show. It was simply to make a good impression on Simon.The wedding invites were soon prepared.Rachel took one and had it secretly sent to Drakthorn Ridge. She hoped that on the day of the wedding, Ethan would show up in a suit with a bouquet of roses to crash the wedding when she was taking her vows and decl

One of his friends immediately handed him a cigarette and lit it for him.Stephen said, “I need a favor.”The others were shocked. Stephen, the one who used to think that his family was omnipotent, was asking them for help?Their expressions grew serious. What could it be that Stephen needed help with?“Tell us what you need, Stephen.”“Help me find someone.”“Find someone?” They were bewildered.The Quinns were one of the most powerful families in Metropolis. What kind of person would they have trouble finding?However, Stephen needed their help finding someone.“Stephen, you’re not trying to find an alien, are you?”His other friends chuckled, but Stephen took out his phone and showed them a picture of Snow.“Help me find her. Her name is Snow Green. She was sent away to a remote village.”As soon as they saw the picture, they instantly recognized her as a criminal!“Didn’t she die?”Snow’s death had been sensational news back then, so they all knew about it.Stephen s

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s not often that you guys come here. Why discuss these things?”Everyone was curious, but when they saw that Stephen did not want to talk about it, they did not press further.In the evening, he took his friends to their hotel before heading back to the Lowes’ residence.The preparations for Rachel and his wedding had already begun. Decorations had been hung up.Rachel was in the living room, laughing with her friends. When she saw Stephen come back, she only glanced at him and pretended not to see him, continuing to chat.Stephen hesitated but ultimately said nothing. He walked past her as if he had not seen her.Rachel’s friends were confused. Why did they not even greet each other? They acted like they were strangers.However, the girls did not dare to ask. After all, it was Rachel and Stephen’s private business.Two days later, the evening before the wedding, Simon came to Stephen’s room to give him some instructions.“Once you get ma

Rachel looked at Ethan in disbelief. “How could you be so heartless?”Ethan replied, “I’ve never had any feelings for you. How is that being heartless?”“I’m getting married. You’ll lose me forever.” Rachel refused to give up. Ethan was much more obedient than Stephen, so she did not want to let him go so easily.Ethan slowly sat down on the chair and said calmly, “Neither have I ever had you nor do I care about you. Why would I lose you?”Seeing that force was not working, Rachel lowered her head and tried to use a softer tactic. “Yes, I made a mistake. I know I let you down, and I know that you were wronged, but I know what I’ve done wrong now. Come back to me.”She raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears. “Let’s work together. I can help you take Riveria back. Then, both Riveria and I will be yours.”She thought, ‘If I’m not enough to move Ethan, then surely, Riveria will do the trick. He wants to take Riveria back and get revenge on the Quinns, right?’Ethan smiled. “R
