The Guardian's Return Chapter 888
“What?” Simon was shocked.Reveal the truth? How could they do that?Coveting Ethan’s achievements, they wanted to take Riveria from him and claim his victories as their own. They worked with the Lowe family to frame Ethan, erased all his contributions, and painted him as a corrupt official who embezzled money to support his mistresses.Even now, many people still believed them and cursed Ethan online every day.If the truth were exposed, the Quinns would be finished. No one in the Quinns and the Lowes would be able to escape.“Have you gone mad?”Stephen shook his head. “I’m thinking straight. I’ve never been more rational than I am right now. I’ll reveal the truth, but I won’t implicate the Quinns.”He said slowly, “I’ll take all the blame upon myself. The only one who dies will be me.”Simon paled. “No!”Sacrificing Stephen to save the Quinns—he could not accept that!Stephen was the only heir of the Quinn family, and he represented the family’s image. If the public found

Stephen continued, “I’ve already made up my mind. I just called you to tell you about this. This is my decision. No matter what happens next, don’t try to help me.”Simon was moved. Stephen was telling them to watch as he walked to his death. Simon could not bear it, but the problem was too significant. Refusing would make no difference.In the end, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “I understand.”Stephen forced a smile. “Thanks.”The call ended.Simon stood still, holding his phone, lost in thought. In that final moment, Stephen did not seem like a young man, but an elder.“He really has... surpassed me.”Stephen finally had the strength to take over the Quinn family and lead it to glory, but he was going to die. Simon looked up at the sky and could not help but remember the word that Stephen said.“Fate.”What if he took Stephen’s place in death? Could that save him?However, after thinking about it, it was impossible. This whole incident involved Ethan. Ethan

Simon asked weakly, “Is there really no chance?”Ethan replied calmly, “Figure it out yourselves. This has nothing to do with me.”With those words, Simon’s last hope was completely shattered. His body swayed. He wanted to say many things, but in the end, he could not utter a single word and stood up in a daze.“Sorry for disturbing you.”With that, he turned and slowly left. At that moment, he felt like he aged a lot. Regret filled his heart. If he had known, he would never have provoked Ethan in the first place. He was the one who cut off every retreat and every path to survival.He had doomed himself!As soon as he left the villa, his phone rang. It was a call from his father, Harrison.“Something's happened!” Harrison said anxiously. “Stephen just announced that he’s going to reveal the truth that he deceived everyone! What’s he trying to do? He’s not really going to expose the truth, right?”Simon was silent. He did not expect Stephen to act so quickly. Stephen had just ca

Harrison was speechless. He had no idea that the situation was to that extent. Simon continued, “If you have time, give Stephen a call. You’ll understand everything when you see how he looks now.”After the call ended, Harrison was left feeling confused. Why would he understand everything once he sees Stephen? Puzzled, he tried dialing Stephen’s number. Soon, the video call connected. When he saw the person on the screen, Harrison was stunned. He stood rigid, mouth agape, his aged face filled with shock. The feeling was similar to watching someone get hit brutally by a truck but land safely, perfectly unharmed. “You’re Stephen?” Harrison blurted out. Stephen nodded. Harrison’s phone nearly dropped out of his hand. When Stephen headed to Riveria, he was so young and proud, but now, his hair had turned white, and he had wrinkles on his face. His grandson looked almost as old as him!“How?”Stephen said, “This is karma.”His tone was eerily calm, but his eyes were full of re

Looking at the viewers in his livestream, Stephen took a deep breath and faced the camera solemnly. He explained, “I’m sorry. I lied to everyone.”The sudden apology baffled the viewers. They had no idea what Stephen was doing. “The truth is…” Stephen choked, his next words stuck in his throat. It was because he was afraid. He knew that telling the truth would doom him, and he did not want to die. He was still young, and as the Quinn family’s heir, there should be a lifetime of luxury waiting for him to enjoy. However, at the thought of Riveria and the Quinns’ current situation, he overcame that fear. He may not want to die, but more than anything, he wanted the Quinns to survive. Besides, it was unlikely for him to meet Snow, Lily, his best friends, and the people who died helping him ever again. Hence, this was his last and best chance to apologize. He looked into the camera. “I’m not the Grand Marshal’s mentee.”His words left the millions of viewers in the livestream in s

[When you come into the world, something else will be born alongside you. You will start your own life, while it will embark on its journey. It moves slowly but never stops. No matter where you go or which path you choose, it will follow you every step of the way. You may run ahead while it strolls, or you may stop to rest. But it needs no such thing. [Some day, when life gets comfortable, or the most unexpected of times, you will notice a shadow beside you. But it will be too late by then, and your life will end there.]The shadow was death, and it was also his mission. Perhaps his only mission in life was to speak the truth and make Ethan’s contributions known to the world.The number of viewers in Stephen’s livestream skyrocketed as the shocking revelation spread like wildfire. With major media platforms reposting it, the number of viewers hit two million in just a minute,Looking at the rapidly climbing numbers, Stephen had never felt calmer. He knew what he was supposed to do

The livestream was not over yet. Stephen admitted publicly to everything he had done over the past six months, from framing Ethan to bringing men to raid his properties, only to find that Ethan bought every house with his own earnings, and it was full of thank-you letters from people he had helped. “He wrote novels, songs, scripts, produced TV shows, movies, held charities, built roads, founded schools and hospitals, and gave Riveria a total makeover, turning it into its prosperous state today. And the novels he wrote, the movies he produced—you’ve all seen them.”Stephen admitted his mistakes and also laid bare Ethan’s sacrifices and contributions. Knowing they had all read the novels Ethan wrote, and many of them were even loyal fans, the viewers felt numb. They often discussed why the author stopped publishing, wondering whether the author was slacking off. On top of that, all those TV shows and movies were commercial hits, gaining high ratings on all platforms. Half were hai

As Stephen read the comments coming in, he continued, “Ethan’s contributions to Riveria aren’t just that. Because the Grand Marshal couldn’t restore peace to Riveria despite years of effort, and he sadly passed away in sickness, people panicked at that time, filled with despair for the future. “It was Ethan who stood up, taking on the responsibility alone. Under his leadership, foreign forces and internal factions in Riveria suffered a great loss.”He also told stories about Ethan that were passed down outside the borders, such as him single-handedly obtaining half of the South Regent’s forces. Alone, Ethan made the people across the borders respect free marriage. Families and forces no longer dared to force their children to get married. In fact, merely hearing his name was enough to intimidate an army of armed forces into retreating. There were too many stories to recount. The viewers were dumbstruck as they stared at their screens. If someone else said that, they would have

While they still had doubts, foreign countries had already extended invitations to Ethan.It was the same as calling them blind. They failed to cherish such a valuable and important person, and even had the nerve to doubt him.Everyone felt their faces burn with shame.They quickly logged into their accounts, keen to show that they had always supported Ethan and never questioned him. However, when they tried to log in, they found that their accounts had been muted.Meanwhile, the people in the meeting room in HQ also saw the international invitations extended to Ethan. The offers were generous, providing not just resources but also status and power.The generosity of the foreign officials made them uneasy. Would Ethan refuse such an offer?If the Grand Marshal were still alive, they might have had some hope, but after the Grand Marshal died, Ethan had to go up against both foreign and domestic enemies alone. They had never once offered help or even asked about the situation.Aft
