All Chapters of The Guardian's Return: Chapter 481 - Chapter 490

Ethan knew why Jeremy refused to meet Stephen again, so he told Austin the news and got him to inform Stephen that those letters were all fake. Snow did not care about him, and Jeremy gave up on him long ago!Stephen was able to pull himself together because of those fabricated letters. If he found out they were all lies and learned the harsh truth behind them, what would he do? He would not go mad but choose to end his own life instead. He would LAO be the one ultimately responsible for Stephen’s death! Ethan was using him to push Stephen to his death!Austin’s face turned pale as he looked at Stephen in horror, speechless. After all the trouble he went through to save Stephen, he was about to push Stephen back into the abyss again.Was he really a psychologist?Stephen grabbed Austin’s collar. “Tell me! Why did Jeremy refuse to see me? What’s up about the forged letters? Have you all been lying to me this whole time?”Austin’s head hung low, and he did not dare to speak. He wa

Ganter gritted his teeth. “Okay. I promise you!”Ethan took out his phone and dialed Andy’s number. “Lord Rivers, what can I do for you?” Andy asked respectfully. The more he knew about Riveria and its foreign borders, the more he realized Ethan’s influence. The name Ethan had even become a symbol of power beyond the borders!“Is Jeremy available?” Ethan said, “Arrange a time for Jeremy and Stephen to get on a video call.”Andy was confused as to why Ethan would suddenly want Jeremy to see Stephen. However, since it was Ethan’s orders, he would do as he was told. “What does Jeremy have to say to Stephen?” Andy asked. “Just have him express his true thoughts. Oh,” Ethan added, “If you’re in need of money, you can use this opportunity to get more from Stephen.”Andy immediately understood Ethan’s intention. “Got it.”After the call ended, Ethan gave Ganter a number. “As you wish. Stephen can have a video call with Jeremy.”Ganter said gratefully, “Thank you.”Ethan smiled.

Nolan was getting anxious. Stephen had recovered and would be back in Hill City in no time. Besides, with Stephen having met with Jeremy, Nolan was worried that Jeremy might’ve said things he should not. Adding to that, the South Regent’s forces were about to return to Hill City, and he also had to rescue the South Regent’s men. He started planning how to rescue them while discreetly finding out what Jeremy and Stephen talked about. However, when he learned that Jeremy did not mention him, he sighed in relief. Two days later, Stephen returned to Hill City, accompanied by Ganter and Austin. Ganter had promised Ethan to become a psychologist in Hill City, and Austin realized that he still had much to learn after this incident, so he decided to tag along with Ganter. Stephen was very grateful to Ganter and Austin as both of them had essentially saved his life. Hence, he arranged accommodations for them and even bought a storefront for Ganter. “If you need anything in the future, j

Stephen felt a little awkward. “Hill City still has quite a few problems. These problems were similar to what happened in the past. Julius took care of the problems back then, so we wanted to ask if he ever documented any solutions.”Jane understood. “His laptop is still in the room. You can go through it if you need to. Just don’t damage it.”Although Jane did not like Stephen, he came for Hill City this time, so she did not want to be cold-hearted. When she married Julius, she had already made up her mind. Hill City was more important than her life. After getting permission, Stephen quickly brought his men to turn on the laptop to search for information. Stephen did not know the password, but Jane, who was standing nearby, told him the password. Stephen entered the password and successfully unlocked the laptop. Nobody noticed the faint smile that appeared on Jane’s face. Julius had never told her the password. She guessed it using the initials of their name and their wedding

His hair was gray, his face lined with wrinkles, and his clothes were tattered and shabby.Stephen was stunned. “He’s the culprit?”The assistant nodded. “Yes.”Stephen took a deep breath. “Why did you set the fire?”The old man trembled and stuttered, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”Stephen’s face was cold. “Even if it wasn’t on purpose, you have to explain what’s going on.”Hill City’s mountains were ancient and were home to many precious plants and animals. The economic and environmental damage caused by this fire was immeasurable. The old man lowered his head. “Our orchard was destroyed. The subsidies were too little, and our children all went to find work in other cities. Now, someone wants to lease our village land, so I wanted to expand it a bit.”Stephen understood. The orchard was destroyed, leaving them without a harvest. The youngsters went to work elsewhere as they thought the subsidy was too little. At this juncture, some companies wanted to lease the empty and idle
