Chapter 391

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

Chapter 392

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

Chapter 393

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

Chapter 394

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

Under the villager’s guidance, Andy soon arrived at the place.The villager pointed to a spot in the ground. “It’s here.”Andy dropped to his knees. Those people had saved him, and this was how they ended up.He felt deeply remorseful. If he had not defied Ethan and been more respectful, things might not have ended up like that.It was all his fault!The South Regent chuckled from the side. “Being your friend is so dangerous. Not only did they die terribly, but they didn’t even get a proper burial.”Andy felt a wave of nausea, as if he might vomit.In an attempt to atone, he paid a considerable amount of money to have the area transformed into a proper grave. After that, he set off with his men, determined to continue his search.Now, he wanted to find the family of three. He was worried about the man’s state.It did not take long for him to arrive at their home, but it was empty. After asking around, he learned that the woman had taken her daughter and left.“Why did they le

Stephen was stunned for a moment. That was Blake?In his memory, Blake was tall, thin, and rather handsome. Now, he looked completely different.“I couldn’t recognize you at first,” Stephen said.“I get it.” Blake said, “I must’ve changed a lot.”Blake sat down with Stephen and laughed. “You’re amazing, Stephen. You’re managing all of Riveria. Riveria is the number one province in the country. You might even make it to the cabinet.”Stephen’s smile turned wry. Most people did not know about Riveria’s economic state, but he did.The number one province in the country? Riveria’s GDP had dropped several digits from its original 15 trillion. If he did not act fast, it might even drop to 10 digits.“Let’s change topics.” Stephen felt that he could not talk about such matters. He asked Blake, “How have you been? You seem to have gained some weight, so things must be going well.”However, Blake smiled wryly. “Not really. My parents’ health aren’t great, so I took over the family busin

“Leo, are you peddling your products again?” Blake came back. “What are you selling this time?”Leo smiled. “It’s a health supplement. Do you want a set, class prez? I’ll give you a 10% discount. If your whole family buys one set each, I’ll bump that up to 20%.”Stephen wanted to say something but ultimately kept silent. This felt so foreign. He felt like he was meeting Leo for the first time.“Shush! My health is fine.” Blake laughed. “Stephen is still young too. Why would he need health supplements? Besides, how could you push products at a class reunion?”Leo said helplessly, “I have no choice. I’ve got a girlfriend, and we’re talking about marriage, but she wants an apartment near the city. Won’t you buy a set, class prez?”Stephen’s eyes widened. Leo, the best student in their grade, had become desperate because of money.Blake ignored him and looked at Stephen instead. “What’s on your mind, Stephen?”Stephen snapped back to his senses. “Nothing, nothing. I was just listeni

Stephen heard the whispered words and looked up curiously.At first glance, the woman looked familiar.He asked, “Who’s that?”Leo lowered his voice. “Penny Harper.”Stephen paused slightly at the name. He remembered Penny. She was the class vice president. Besides being pretty and kind, she also had a good figure and a gentle demeanor.Although she was not as stunning as Chloe, she had a lovely personality and was warm and gentle, so many people liked her. Some of them included boys from other classes and even other schools. However, during their three years of high school together, no one had ever heard of her dating anyone.Stephen was shocked. The Penny in front of him now had streaks of gray in her hair, some wrinkles on her face, and wore clothes that could not be described as plain. They were old and worn. She did not look like she was the same age as him at all.“How did she end up like this?”Leo sighed. “Right after she graduated from college, her parents pressured he

Leo walked over and applauded. “You’re amazing, Stephen! Good people live long lives!”The others stood up and clapped as well.Blake also walked over and said, “Stephen, aren’t you a government official? Why not take this opportunity to find out why Penny’s support was cut off? Were the funds pocketed by someone else?”Stephen nodded. “I’ll get to the bottom of this!”He looked at Penny and asked, “Do you remember the organization that was providing you support?”Penny nodded. “Yes. I still have their contact number.”Stephen immediately said, “Give it to me. I’ll call them.”When he dialed the number, he found that it was no longer in service.“Hm?” Stephen immediately sensed that there might be something bigger going on. He looked at the people gathered around. Familiar people were watching him now. If he could solve this in front of them, it would be a significant achievement.Stephen immediately contacted the service provider and found out who deactivated the account. The

Then, George, Snow, Julius, and Tommy’s figures flashed through his mind.“I...” Stephen could not continue.“You still overestimate yourself.” Ethan finished speaking and hung up the phone.The manager also said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”Click.The phone fell silent.Stephen lowered his head, slumping in his chair.The classmates around him were also quiet. They all knew that Stephen was clearly enemies with the person on the phone, and it was clear that Stephen was no match for him. Just a few words from that person had left Stephen speechless.After a moment of silence, Stephen slowly put his phone away and stood up, saying to Penny, “I’ll help you with your situation.”It was not merely because he owed Penny. He wanted to prove to Ethan that he could help and even protect the people around him!Then, he walked over to Chloe. “If you don’t want to leave, just stay. They won’t dare oppose you.”Chloe smiled faintly. “If I stay, will you support me?”St
