The Guardian's Return Chapter 387
He understood what Ethan meant. No matter what he accused Ethan of and how well he planned it out, they were not real. If Brandon, Shawn, or the South Regent revealed the truth, his false accusations would be instantly revealed. When it came to that, Ethan would be fine, and Stephen would face the backlash instead.Stephen’s body trembled, and his expression turned sour. He did not expect his carefully crafted scheme to frame Ethan would be so easily unraveled by the latter. However, the viewers in the livestream did not understand what Ethan meant.Ethan asked calmly, “Now, you answer me. Who sent people to capture Andy? And who caused Julius’ death?”Stephen lowered his head.“Andy’s capture is still under investigation, so we don’t know the details yet. Julius’ death also has nothing to do with Ethan, and Ethan has no connection to the South Regent.”He looked at the camera and clarified that nothing had to do with Ethan.The viewers were stunned. Stephen had just been accus

Andy shook off Stephen’s hand. “Because I was wrong.”Stephen took a few steps back, unable to believe that Andy was willingly kneeling to Ethan and refusing to be helped up. His mind buzzed in confusion. He could not understand what was happening. He thought Andy wanted to see Ethan to expose him and take revenge, but it was actually to apologize. All his efforts in calling the reporters for a live broadcast were in vain.Ethan looked at Andy. “It seems you’ve been through a lot.”“Yes.” Andy lowered his head. “In the past, I thought my fists and physical prowess were real strength.”When he was outside the borders, he had been beaten down time and time again. What he had once considered impressive skills turned out to be nothing more than a joke in the eyes of others.“I insulted you and even wanted to get back at you. Please forgive me. I realized how wrong I was.”Stephen stepped forward, unable to believe what he was hearing. “Why are you apologizing to him? Wasn’t it he w

“Exactly!”How much danger had Andy faced because of that reward? How many people had lost their lives? If he had not claimed to know Ethan, he would not even have survived.Andy glared at Stephen. “Did you know? There was a family that saved me when I was on the brink of starvation, but I didn’t even get a chance to thank them. Because of your reward, someone came to their home with a gun and shot the man of the house. They even tried to kill his wife and daughter!“Later, I was hunted by countless people. All of them were after the reward you posted. Do you know how many people died along the way just to protect me? I wouldn’t have made it out alive if not for Ethan.”Andy stormed forward and grabbed Stephen’s collar. Stephen’s eyes widened, his face turning pale, and Andy punched Stephen again, knocking him back several steps.Stephen was hit a second time, but there was no trace of anger on his face this time. In fact, he had no reason to be angry.He had never anticipated th

“If Ethan really did save Andy, did we curse him too soon?”As soon as that comment was posted, everyone fell silent.Every word they said earlier echoed in their ears, each one filthy and cruel, like sharp knives stabbing into their hearts, leaving them bleeding. Their cheeks burned with shame, and they wished they could disappear into the ground.Those who left nasty comments hurriedly deleted them, and the ones who posted long passages condemning Ethan also erased them. As they read over their posts one last time, it felt as if those words were not condemning Ethan—they were condemning themselves.They all closed their eyes and pressed ‘confirm delete’ with shaking hands.In the living room, Andy broke down in sobs, and Stephen cried with his head down. The livestream viewers averted their eyes, unable to face what they had just seen. Guilt and regret weighed heavy on their hearts.The reporters, cameramen, and Marcus were unsure of what to do. Only Ethan looked on calmly.He

Andy understood how much those people longed for Ethan’s arrival. However, it suddenly struck him that Ethan was locked up on Drakthorn Ridge, which meant they would never see him.Andy said powerlessly, “I’m sorry.”He felt that he was too weak. The apology was not only directed at Ethan but also at himself and all the people who had sacrificed themselves for him.Ethan said, “You can go now.”Andy looked at Ethan and finally said, “Thank you.”Then, he turned around and slowly walked away.Marcus also lowered his head in respect. “Thank you.”While he hurried after Andy, Stephen stood frozen, staring at Ethan without saying a word. He had come today to take down Ethan but the whole plan had backfired, leaving him furious. He gritted his teeth in frustration. If he had known, he would not have hosted a livestream. Now, everyone knew that he had put Andy in danger, and worst of all, Ethan’s reputation improved!Without wasting any time, he fled. He had to smooth things over b

Stephen stood in a daze in the silent, empty room and sighed helplessly.In his prime, he imagined his future to be full of happiness and excitement, but now, the reality of his life felt cold and hollow.After packing, he slowly walked out the door, hoping that Rachel would come out and say, “Take care and have a safe trip.”However, even as he stepped out onto the street, that voice never came. It felt like his heart was being torn apart. His driver was already waiting, so he walked toward the car. Just then… “Take care, darling. Have a safe trip!”A voice rang out behind him.Stephen froze and turned around with excitement, only to see a woman embracing a man.“I’ll be back soon,” the man said before kissing the woman.Stephen stood there, his heart sinking. It was just an illusion, nothing more. Now, it felt like not one, but a thousand knives were stabbing at his heart, relentlessly cutting away at him.He hurried into the car and told the driver to head to the airport

It was a high school reunion.Stephen felt a little dazed. After graduating from high school, he went to a prestigious university. Once he graduated, he went abroad for further studies and had only returned a year ago.“It’s been eight years since I’ve graduated high school, right?”He had also received invitations in the previous years, but he could not attend since he was abroad. Thinking about it now, it had been eight years since he had seen his high school classmates. Even after eight years, there were still some faces that he vividly remembered.Stephen thought of all the frustrating events he had been through lately and decided to attend the reunion. Perhaps chatting with his classmates would ease some of his pressure.At that thought, he replied to the message and said that he would go. The person who texted him instantly called him.“Stephen, are you really coming?” he asked excitedly.“Yes, I’ll be there, Blake.”Even just from his voice, Stephen recognized it as hi

The issues in Hill City had not yet been resolved. A new mayor had not been appointed, the damages from the forest fires were still uncompensated, and there was still Stone Village to deal with.Andy’s recent disappearance in Hill City also caused such a stir, and it struck Stephen that he did not attend the memorial service for Julius and Tommy.“I’m still thinking about it,” he answered honestly. He had not figured out how to clean up the mess in Hill City.Simon glared at him. “You’d better hurry up. George took the blame for you this time. You need to resolve the follow-up issues in Hill City as soon as possible.”Stephen lowered his head. “I know.”“Also, while work is important, you can’t neglect family matters either. You’re not getting any younger. When are you planning to have a child?”Stephen instantly fell silent.A child with Rachel? The thought had not even crossed his mind. Besides, Rachel would not let him touch her. How would they have a child if they did no
