All Chapters of The Guardian's Return: Chapter 531 - Chapter 540

Upon hearing that question, Charles looked up at Nolan beside him. The fact that he could become Stephen’s assistant meant he was not stupid. It was just a question, and with Nolan standing at the side, he knew Nolan might be trying to help him. “Because I didn’t have any money,” Charles answered honestly. “My mother was always ill. We could still manage with the subsidy and health insurance, but after losing both of them, my dad fell sick as well. We didn’t have a penny left. Out of desperation, I ended up going down the wrong path.”He looked at the camera. “Don’t be like me who has ended up with a shattered family and ruined life.”The netizens immediately burst into laughter. “Hahaha. You deserved it! Die!”“Good riddance. This is karma!”“Why did you end up with a shattered family, I wonder?”Some mocked Charles, while some made sarcastic comments. They felt Charles deserved everything he got and it was just his punishment. The reporter asked, “Why was the subsidy and

The viewers suddenly felt like Charles was a much greater person, and for a moment, they even thought Charles could be called a “hero.” It was absurd to think that Stephen’s actions were so outrageous that Charles, despite his crimes and illegal actions, seemed like a hero compared to him!“Although I want to convince myself that it’s all fake, Charles is Stephen’s assistant. He definitely knows more than us. Besides, Stephen is someone who could be having a nap while his team is rescuing hostages.”“Could this be fake? Someone has proven the subsidy and medical insurance issue, and the factory owners have testified. Stephen has also made tons of foolish decisions in the past!”“It’s such a pity about Charles. If he succeeded, he might change the fates of countless people.”Most of the viewers had a massive shift in their impression of Charles. They understood that Charles became like that because Stephen forced him into a corner. Hence, the root of the problem still lay with Steph

Everyone thought it was one way to handle the issue. Simon continued, “As for the deceased’s families, Stephen has made the necessary arrangements. As long as their families speak up, the problem will be solved.”The others nodded. “We can do that. But with Stephen’s current situation, he’s no longer suited to stay at Hill City. The people of Hill City are utterly disappointed in him.”Simon sighed. “I know.”Another city’s economy had collapsed under Stephen’s leadership. He quickly contacted Stephen and told him the meeting’s outcome, finally warning him that he had to get rid of Charles. The man knew too much. “He can’t be allowed to live. He must die.” After hanging up, Simon thought of Ethan but soon shook his head. Ethan had managed to increase Riveria’s GDP to 15 trillion in three years and was the Grand Marshal’s only mentee. It would not be wise to touch him. In fact, letting Ethan live for the moment might prove useful in the future. What Simon did not know was

Stephen fell silent for a while. Was he not even as important as going out with friends in her eyes? He thought his marriage was a complete failure. The butler said, “I’ll prepare some food.”Stephen was indeed a little hungry. He did not have time to rest properly or eat recently, and now that he was home, he finally felt a bit of relief. “Pack up the food and bring me two bottles of wine. I will eat out.”The butler did not probe and quietly went to prepare. An hour later, Stephen held a thermal box and arrived at Drakthorn Ridge. He looked at the mansion before him, door wide open, and walked in after taking a deep breath. He saw Ethan sitting on the couch, reading a book as usual. The scene left Stephen momentarily dazed. As a rich young heir, what he hated the most was to sit still and read a book. That was pure torture. However, seeing Ethan being calmly immersed in his book, Stephen felt genuinely jealous. This kind of life was far better than the one he was living n

Facing Rachel’s question, Stephen was suddenly at a loss for words. Was he truly at fault? He only felt that Rachel was being relentless and unreasonable. Stephen shrugged and strode toward his room, unwilling to bother with Rachel any further. When he walked past Rachel, her eyes instantly reddened, and tears almost fell as a wave of deep grievance surged within her. She just wanted a genuine apology. Was that so hard?If it were Ethan, he would have comforted her.Then, she thought of what Stephen just said—Ethan would not care even if she died in Breeze City. Did Ethan truly not care about her anymore?Rachel felt like the most miserable person in the world right now. The man she loved most did not care about her, her husband did not love her, and her father was in jail because of her husband. Why was her life so bitter?She returned to her room too, and the two only met again the next day. Even after a night, there was still tension between Stephen and Rachel. After havin
