“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

Rachel’s bridesmaids were at a loss. They thought that Ethan wanted to take Rachel away, but it turned out that it was Rachel who wanted him to take her away.More importantly, the man had no intention of doing so! It was all Rachel’s delusion!At that moment, someone checked the time and saw it was almost noon.“Oh no! We need to hurry back. It’s time to pick up the bride!”If the groom came to pick up the bride and found that the bride was not at home but had gone to find another man, what would he think?How would the guests perceive it? If word were to spread, the whole of Riveria would laugh at Rachel and Stephen!They tried to pull Rachel away, but she did not want to go. She squatted on the ground and cried. She wanted to move Ethan. She knew he must have a way to save her, take back Riveria, and save George.As long as Ethan helped, everything would be fine.Unfortunately, Ethan listened to her cries and felt nothing at all. He silently took out his phone and dialed a n

The groomsmen hurriedly got out of the car and arrived at the villa entrance, where they saw Rachel squatting on the ground and crying. Her bridesmaids stood by the side helplessly while another man sat on a lounge chair not far away, sipping tea.The groomsmen instantly understood.That man must have bullied the bride!“Who are you? How dare you make the bride cry?”“How dare you bully Stephen’s woman? Do you have a death wish?”They clenched their fists and strode toward Ethan, wanting to teach him a lesson.“Stop,” Stephen called out to them.The groomsmen stopped and looked at Stephen in shock. Their eyes were filled with confusion. Someone made his wife cry, but he wanted them to stop?Stephen glanced at Ethan but did not say anything. Instead, he walked toward Rachel.Rachel’s bridesmaids trembled, fearing that Stephen would get angry and vent his fury on them. They were truly innocent.“She fled here on her own. We tried to persuade her, but it was useless. She even wa

“Obviously, it's because she's too noisy." Ethan had planned on enjoying the sun, but Rachel had kept sobbing like there was no tomorrow. Stephen shook his head. "That can't be the only reason. You still have feelings for Rachel and could've brought her away. You could've also asked her to help you snatch Riveria away. It was such a good opportunity for you, so why did you call me?" The groomsmen could not believe what Stephen said. His bride had run off to find another man. However, not only was Stephen not angry, but he was helping Ethan think of a plan? He was even encouraging Ethan to run away and take over Riveria? Had Stephen lost his mind? Ethan looked toward Stephen. "Is that all you can think of? After experiencing so many failures, I thought you'd be a little smarter, but it looks like I've overestimated you." Stephen wanted to say something but hesitated. Ethan continued speaking, "Firstly, I don't care about Rachel. Secondly, I'm not the same as you guys. I won'

"Ethan, can you tell me where Snow is? I don't expect her to return, but at least let me apologize to her. Even if you only tell me which city she's in now, it's fine!"Ethan said with a smile, "No."Stephen lowered his head. Although he had expected it, he still felt heartbroken when he heard such direct words from Ethan. Stephen's friends could not bear watching it any longer. How did Stephen become so cowardly? Moreover, now they understood that Ethan had hidden Snow away!Someone stood up and stared at Ethan coldly. "Tell us where Snow is."Stephen panicked and quickly said, "Don't be rash."His friends frowned. "Stephen, what's with you?" "Where's the decisiveness you had before?""He's already walking all over you, so why are you still so polite to him?""There's so many of us here. If we gang up on him, he'll definitely give us whatever answers we want.""That's right. He thinks you're easy to bully because he hasn't gotten a beating yet!"The man who had initiall

Andy turned around and left. Seeing that even Andy, the best fighter among them, was not a match for Ethan, the others no longer said anything else. They could only gaze around nervously, avoiding eye contact with Ethan. Stephen gave Ethan another look, seemingly wanting to say something, but did not say anything in the end. He just left with his friends. On the way back, someone asked in confusion, "Stephen, with your abilities, why not force him to reveal Snow's whereabouts? I don't believe that he can resist the Quinns alone." Once he heard this, countless images flashed across Stephen's mind within a few seconds. He saw Snow's tear-streaked face, Julius lying in his arms covered in blood, and then the faces of Brandon, Shawn, Dennis, Howard, and the South Regent… all laughing. Stephen slowly said, "The Quinns are not invincible."In the past, he thought that with the Quinns’ power and money, anything could be easily solved. However, he experienced several failures, includi

Satisfied, George turned around and left. Under everyone's gazes, the emcee asked them if they would never abandon each other, and they finally exchanged rings. The lights came on again. Clap, clap, clap! Another round of applause sounded. "Congratulations!" "Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together!""Here's to starting a family soon!"Everyone offered their blessings, but the two holding hands felt quite the opposite. Stephen's thoughts were with Snow while Rachel only had contempt for Stephen. They should not be holding hands at all. Guests began stepping forward to present their gifts. The first was a young man, Johnny Evans, one of Stephen's friends and one of the groomsmen. "On behalf of the Evans of Metropolis, I present this crystal sculpture entitled 'Reunion'." One of his attendants brought over a gift box. Once the box was opened, everyone was immediately attracted by the crystal sculpture inside. The crystal sculpture consisted of nine intricately carv

After everything was settled, the people from HQ went to Ethan again. They apologized to him and begged for his forgiveness.“We’ve dealt with everyone involved in this matter. Are you satisfied with the outcome, Mr. Rivers?”With that, they lowered their heads to the ground nervously. Their only hope now hinged on Ethan’s response.They did not dare to ask for much. All they hoped for was that Ethan would not leave the country.Ethan glanced at them calmly and said, “Send someone to help move my stuff down the mountain.”Hearing that, everyone was first stunned, and then ecstatic.“Of course!” they replied in unison.They understood what Ethan meant. He was staying! Although it was not his complete forgiveness, he was willing to give them another chance.They were all overjoyed. As long as Ethan did not leave, there was plenty of time to slowly make amends.They took out their phones and made arrangements to help Ethan move.After the call ended, they said, “We respectfully

The day of Rachel and George’s trial came.The livestream began at 10 a.m., and hundreds of thousands of viewers joined instantly.Rachel and George slowly walked into the courtroom in handcuffs.Bang! The judge’s gavel fell, and the room went silent.It was not a lawsuit. It was a trial to expose the sins of Rachel and George.The judge read out their crimes one by one, until Rachel and George’s faces paled to the point that they looked like corpses.The viewers in the livestream finally saw the full picture.“So that’s it! The Quinns and the Lowes conspired!”“They deserve to die! How could they frame Ethan like that? Are they even human?”“The death penalty! They deserve the death penalty!”They were all furious.Many people had lost their families as a result of supporting Stephen and scolding Ethan. After watching the livestream, they realized just how deeply they had been wrong.They were accomplices to the Quinns and the Lowes' crimes in framing Ethan!Their current

They suppressed their disgust and returned home, only to see their parents and wives’ panicked expressions.“What did you do out there?”“So many people came today, asking for you by name.”How were they supposed to answer those questions? They could not just say that they had insulted Ethan online.If they did, their parents would beat them to death before anyone else could.“It’s nothing,” they replied stiffly. They had no choice but to hide the truth. After all, they could not say that they had insulted Ethan, or that they had lost their jobs.However, the next second, their parents received text messages. After their parents glanced at their phones, their expressions instantly changed.It was a message from the bank, stating that their child had been listed as a defaulter and urging them to repay the loan immediately.“What have you done?” Their parents’ voices trembled.Seeing that there was no way to hide it anymore, they had no choice but to confess the truth.They los
The Guardian's Return Chapter 917
Seeing that message, they immediately felt as if their world had ended.Because they had insulted Ethan, they lost their jobs, were blacklisted, and could not find work again.“How could this be?”No one expected this outcome. They thought, ‘So what if I insulted him? Are they going to punish me for it? Besides, so many people are insulting him. They can’t possibly punish every single person who did it. At most, I’ll post a public apology and promise that I’ll never do it again.’However, now they were all fired. Everyone who had insulted Ethan had been dismissed from their jobs.It seemed like there were several tens of thousands of people involved! It was hard to imagine just how many people had lost their jobs in real life.“Why are they going this far? Aren’t they afraid of causing unrest?”Of course, HQ had considered that. However, they knew what was more serious.If Ethan went abroad and cooperated with foreign countries, the consequences would not be limited to a few pe

George thought that Rachel had already escaped abroad, so he was not afraid when he arrived.Now, when he saw Rachel there as well, he completely panicked.This was not what he had expected!“Where else would she be?” someone from HQ asked.George looked nervous and stammered, unable to say a word.With Rachel caught and him being brought here, it was clear that HQ already knew the truth. Coupled with his fear of Ethan and his helplessness in the face of reality, he no longer had the strength to make up any excuses.He had resigned himself to fate.“You really have some nerve." The people from HQ sneered. “You fooled us all completely.”“You’ve been hiding Ethan’s contributions all this time, haven’t you?”“You two are nothing but disasters to this country! You deserve to die a thousand times over.”George kept his head down while Rachel sobbed. “I was wrongfully accused!”“Shut up! Are you still trying to fool us at a time like this? You were wrongfully accused? By who? Sim

They brought this on themselves, forcing themselves into a corner with no way out. “Ah!”Simon could not take it anymore. He suddenly ran towards the window, trying to end his life. Fortunately, the officials quickly stopped him. “Don’t be reckless! Think about Stephen. You’re all he has now!”That sentence made Simon stop. Now, Stephen and Simon were each other’s support and burden. Simon slumped on the ground weakly. Right now, they both wanted to die, but neither of them had the courage to follow through. All they could do was live on in pain. After a long silence, Simon said, “I’d like to file a report on someone.”To obtain some kind of reward and survive a little longer, Simon decided to turn in George and Rachel. When the officials heard him, they were stunned. They did not expect Rachel to be involved in framing Ethan. “Shit!” Someone exclaimed. “I heard Rachel bought a flight ticket overseas. Could she have fled?”The room was filled with dread. If Rachel ra

Seeing that Stephen was awake, the others rushed to get the doctor. The doctor was astonished as well. Stephen’s sudden awakening was nothing short of a miracle. However, after examining him, the doctor’s expression darkened. Stephen had regained consciousness, but the prognosis was far from hopeful.“He can’t move,” the doctor said. “As of now, he’s paralyzed.”Stephen could open his eyes, but the rest of his body was unresponsive. He could not move his limbs or his neck and mouth. The only part he could move freely was his eye. Even his breathing was dependent entirely on medical equipment. “He might never be able to leave the bed again.”Upon hearing that, Stephen closed his eyes in despair, tears continuously rolling down his cheeks. He had fought so hard to wake up, only to realize he had missed his final chance to meet Snow and Lily. Worse yet, he also lost the ability to move. From now on, he would be confined to the bed and hooked up to machines just to stay alive.
The Guardian's Return Chapter 913
His father died a miserable death, his son was in a coma, and the Quinn family was shattered, leaving only Simon behind to finally realize all his mistakes. However, it was too late. Harrison could not come back to life, the Quinn family could not be whole again, and Stephen could not recover. Simon would forever be haunted by pain, despair, and regret for the rest of his life. At that moment, in complete darkness, Stephen heard Simon’s voice. He was conscious but failed to open his eyes or speak; he could not move a muscle. He wanted so badly to sit up and tell Simon that it was not solely his fault. They were all wrong, and this was their retribution!Just then, two women walked into the ward. When the officials saw them, their eyes widened in shock. For a second, no one even breathed. They were Snow and Lily!The officials thought they were seeing ghosts. Those women were supposed to be dead. Why were they there? Snow and Lily noticed their shocked gazes and offered them
The Guardian's Return Chapter 912
Due to Harrison’s previous incident, the officials reacted quickly by sending Stephen straight to the hospital.After an emergency rescue, Stephen’s life was saved. However, he paid a heavy price. When the doctor walked out of the emergency room, the officials asked, “How is he?”“The situation isn’t looking good,” the doctor said grimly. “His body is in a bad state, and due to long-term emotional distress, he suffered a brain hemorrhage from the emotional shock.“He’s still in a coma, and we can’t say for sure when he’ll wake up again. It depends on his will to live.”The officials drew a sharp breath. “Do you mean he might end up in a coma forever?”The doctor nodded. No one saw coming that Stephen would fall into a coma, with little chance of ever waking up again. However, it also meant he did not have to die anymore. He would be alive but confined to a bed. Suddenly, they thought of Harrison’s desperate pleas to Ethan back in his villa. “I’m willing to trade my life fo
