Chapter 771

The three men hurriedly ran toward the car Hugo was resting in.Swoosh! The car door swung open.Only two of their own men were inside.“What’s going on?” The two looked at the three rushing in, puzzled.“Where’s Hugo?”The two men did not seem concerned. “He just took his phone and left. We have no idea where he went.”“Damn it! Hugo knows about Mr. Hughes’ plan. He must be going to tip someone off and ruin everything. Hurry up and catch him!”At those words, the two men in the car realized the seriousness of the situation. They quickly joined the other three and chased after Hugo in the direction he had left.Meanwhile, Hugo was running for his life toward his destination. As he ran, he quickly dialed Stephen’s number.The call connected.“Run!” Hugo shouted. “Stephen, don’t come! Go back now! It’s a trap! They lured you out to kill you!”Stephen frowned. All he could hear was static. The signal there was terrible. The only words he could barely make out were ‘go back’, ‘i

The call connected quickly.“Run.” Hugo struggled to speak, “Stephen, you’ve always been smart. Run. Keep running and don’t stop. Then, find Ethan. You can’t solve this problem. Go to Ethan. Only he can do it! The mastermind behind this is Victor Hughes...”Bam!Another muffled sound rang out, and Hugo suddenly stopped talking.“How dare you leak information? If this mission fails, we’ll tear you apart!”One of the assassins noticed Hugo making a call and immediately kicked Hugo’s head viciously, causing him to lose consciousness. The phone also fell to the ground.Then, the assassin kicked the phone away and pointed his handgun at Hugo’s head.Stephen’s eyes reddened as he shouted, “Hugo! Say something!”The only words he heard were ‘run’, ‘you’re very smart’, ‘find Ethan’, and ‘the mastermind’. The rest were unclear.Bang! A gunshot echoed from the phone.Stephen’s body froze. He realized that Hugo was dead. Hugo sacrificed his life for him and was killed by two gunshots.

Those who knew what happened in Riveria over the past few years, and how various factions and families had disappeared, understood one thing very clearly—every second of hesitation meant playing roulette with their own lives.The assassin watched them take Hugo away and asked nervously, “What about Stephen Quinn? Did Lord Rivers give any orders regarding him?”The team leader shook his head. “He didn’t mention him.”The assassin sighed in relief. If there was no mention, that meant Ethan did not care. Since he did not care, they could kill him!The assassin immediately went after Stephen to kill him. However, by then, Stephen had already escaped by car.Stephen was sent to the hospital. He had been in recovery when he heard Hugo’s dying words, which led him to leave in search of Natalie. However, he did not find Natalie and ended up broken-hearted again.Stephen’s face was ashen, his sobs gut-wrenching. No one could console him. He had watched Hugo die to save him. Furthermore, H

The psychologist wanted that too, but whether he could handle it was another issue. What was Stephen’s current condition?Putting aside everything that happened in the past half year, such as being unable to find Snow, causing the death of Julius, personally killing Jeremy, and missing Lily’s final moments...Even now, he failed to stop the bomb explosion, had Hugo turn against him, and in the end, watched helplessly as the latter died in front of him to save him.As a psychologist, he knew some classic cases.There was a man who, as a child, watched his younger sister drown. Fifty years later, he still had not recovered from the trauma and often woke up in tears from nightmares.Everything Stephen experienced over the past half year was a serious concern. Even the psychologist felt that it was a miracle Stephen was still alive.“I really can’t do anything,” the psychologist sighed. “Even Dr. Steel would be helpless here. At this point, we’ll need every top psychologist working t

Chapter 775

Harrison stood up. The Ledgers always kept a low profile, so it would not be easy to get their help. Furthermore, after being rejected so many times, he decided to go there himself. He did not believe that they would refuse if he came in person!Half an hour later, Harrison arrived at a massive courtyard. It was the Ledger family’s estate.After learning of Harrison’s arrival, an old woman welcomed him to the living room, making tea while she said, “Harrison Quinn, I’ve heard so much about you. It’s truly an honor to meet you in person today.”She was the grandmother of the Ledger family’s head, Lucy Ledger.Harrison placed the teacup aside and said, “Madam, I’ll be honest. I came today because I need help.”Lucy smiled. “What happened? We’ll definitely help if we can.”“My grandson has some psychological issues and is in poor health. I hope your family can send someone to treat him.”Lucy nodded. “That sounds simple.”She turned to a servant and said, “Bring me Alex Page.”Ha

In Breeze City, Harrison waited for two days but still did not receive a call from the Ledgers. He called Lucy instead. “Has your family head returned?”Lucy replied, “Not yet.”“It’s been two days!” Harrison was running out of patience. He had seen Stephen’s condition through video calls. Although Stephen was still alive, it was as if he had lost his soul. His entire pallor had become lifeless and gray.“There’s nothing I can do either,” said Lucy. “She’s still young and willful, and she’s the head of the family. She doesn’t even listen to me anymore. How about this? I’ll send a few highly skilled doctors to you to help first.”Harrison wanted to lash out, but considering the other party’s status, he had no choice but to hold back. After all, they were a prestigious medical family.In this world, it was nearly impossible to go a lifetime without falling ill. Offending the Ledgers would be like offending the entire medical field. It would be difficult to find treatment anywhere.

Chapter 777

In Simon’s plan, Stephen was supposed to bring Riveria’s GDP to 20 trillion within two years, then return to Metropolis in glory and enter the cabinet.However, now Stephen needed three to five years for treatment.“That’s too long,” said Simon. “Isn’t there a faster way?”“It’s not like there’s no faster way,” the doctors answered. “Stephen’s main problem is psychological. If he can resolve the block in his heart, he won’t just recover. He’ll even become stronger.“There’s an old saying: only the one who tied the knot can untie it. As long as he finds his beloved and gains the forgiveness of his brothers and friends, he can recover in less than three days.”Even three days was a conservative estimate. They had once seen a mother who had gone for more than a decade after losing her daughter. However, the moment the daughter was found, she instantly returned to normal.Simon’s expression turned grim. Finding Snow and Lily, and getting forgiveness from Andy and Jeremy was nearly im

The two doctors were stunned.Who was this man? He was so bold! He actually dared to interrupt the head of the Quinns. It looked like Simon was furious.George sighed. “Ethan, so much time has passed. Isn’t it time to let it go?”Rachel also spoke up, “You weren’t this petty and narrow-minded before. What made you become like this? Is it because you couldn’t have me and your love turned into hate? Is this your new method of trying to get my attention?”The two doctors watching from the side did not understand but were deeply shocked. What relationship did Ethan have with Simon and the other?Simon spoke again. “Ethan, our relationship isn’t that sour yet. If you’re willing to help, I’m willing to grant you the right to leave the mountain once a month.”As soon as he finished speaking...“Don’t you find your words ridiculous?”A cold voice came from behind Ethan.Simon froze, George’s eyes sharpened, and Rachel’s head jerked up. They all turned toward the voice.Avery walked o

Avery coldly swept her gaze over them.“George Lowe.” She looked at George. “You used to be the governor of Riveria. Ethan spent three years managing Riveria well. He did you a favor.“However, not only did you not help him when he was framed and falsely accused, but you even turned against him. Now, you’re asking him to let it go? Let me ask you instead. Do you deserve to say that?“Ethan is kind and won’t argue with you, but I’m different. George Lowe, you’re nothing more than an ingrate! You share a significant part of the blame for how Riveria ended up today. You should just spend the rest of your life in prison.“You’re not qualified to tell Ethan to let it go. You’re only qualified to apologize to him.”George flinched. He was speechless, and shame and fear filled his heart.Avery was the head of the Ledgers. The only one on their side who could stand on equal footing with her was Simon.Even if Stephen were here today, he would still have to be respectful and polite towar

Avery continued, “No wonder they say that people get more shameless the older they get. I wouldn’t dare say something like that even in fifty years.”Simon’s expression darkened. He wanted to scold Avery for her manners. After all, she was of a similar age to his son. However, when he thought of her status as the head of the Ledgers, his words got stuck in his throat. He was in the wrong, and their statuses were technically equal.Simon had nothing to say.“I was too impulsive just now,” he conceded. Ethan was already difficult enough to deal with. Now that Avery supported him, he had no choice but to compromise.“I just want to save Stephen. Please let go of the past and help him this one time. I can pay you.”Avery did not speak and turned to Ethan instead. During times like this, she would only listen to him.Ethan said calmly, “I already gave you my answer a long time ago. Now, I just have one word to say.”Simon’s heart leaped. Could it be ‘okay’?“Scram.”Ethan’s voice m
