The Guardian's Return Chapter 389
“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

“Ethan Rivers, we’ve received a report accusing you of multiple crimes, including embezzlement and bribery. Please come with us.”At Villa 88, Grand Tomson in Riveria, two uniformed officers stood before Ethan, their eyes fixed coldly on him.“Do you have the wrong person?” Ethan frowned.He was the future son-in-law of the governor, currently managing the entire province on the governor’s behalf. Over the past three years, he had worked tirelessly to increase the GDP of Riveria by fivefold.Thanks to him, Riveria was transformed from a poor backwater into a developed province with a GDP of 15 trillion dollars!“There’s no mistake.” A cold voice suddenly sounded from the front.Ethan was stunned to see the speaker. It was a beautiful woman, who was the governor’s daughter and his fiancee, Rachel Lowe.Rachel approached slowly, her gaze indifferent as she looked at Ethan. “I was the one who made the report. They’re here to arrest you.”When he heard her and saw the look in her e

“Besides, the Quinns from the capital will have a marriage alliance with us. Once Stephen Quinn comes to Riveria, he’ll easily raise the GDP to 20 trillion within a year!”Rachel walked over to the table and continued with a smile, “The Lowes’ affairs are none of your concern. You should worry about yourself now.”She smiled faintly. “After all, you’ll be spending the rest of your life behind bars.”One of the officers then took out a pair of silver handcuffs.Ethan knew that the Lowes must have planned it thoroughly. There was no chance they would let him walk away today, but he did not plan on walking away anyway. He was feeling a bit tired, after all. Over the past three years, he had constantly worked to attract investors, protect the environment, and maintain the delicate balance with the various forces. Now, he finally had some time to rest.Ethan looked at them calmly and said, “I’ll walk out myself.”The two officers frowned and moved forward to handcuff him. However, w
