The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 

Snow followed the woman into the van. 

The van started, and before long, it slowly disappeared at the end of the road. 

Ethan watched them leave with a faint smile on his face. He had two reasons for helping 

Snow. 

Firstly, Nina had given up her entire fortune, a whole 5 million dollars, just to save Snow’s life. 

Secondly, having Snow alive would be more useful to him compared to having her dead. 

If Stephen Quinn learned that Snow was dead, he would certainly be devastated and unable to recover for some time. 

That would be fine and dandy, but what if he first learned that Snow had died, suffered that blow, and then discovered that she was actually still alive but that he would never have the chance to see her again within his lifetime? 

Not only would Stephen suffer a devastating second blow, but he would also live in guilt for the rest of his life. 

After all, the last time he saw Snow, he had not believed her. 

Worse still, Snow had even left him a suicide note. 

Despite all this, he could not go looking for Snow as the entire internet was watching his 

every move.

Through this whole ordeal, Stephen would deeply realize that the Quinns were not as all- powerful as he thought! There were still many things in this world that even the Quinns could not accomplish! 

Ethan’s actions had once again resulted in his own checkmate with no solution in sight! 

The news of Snow’s suicide to avoid punishment spread from the hospital and Liam’s police station. This event caused quite a stir online.

“Snow is dead? She committed suicide to avoid punishment?” 

“I feel like there’s a conspiracy here. Could the Quinns have plotted to kill her?” 

“I think that’s possible too!” 

If the Quinns could think of rescuing someone, it was not far–fetched to think that they would kill someone. 

If they could not save her, they would rather eliminate her completely to prevent her from saying anything that could affect the Quinns.

Chapter 163 

As news of Snow’s death spread online, Stephen Quinn arrived in Aqua City. 

+25 BONUS 

The mayor took him to the riverbank where Stephen looked into the water, and his pupils immediately contracted. 

Many dead fish were floating in the river. The once clear water had now turned somewhat black. 

“How did this happen?” Stephen asked anxiously. “How did so many fish suddenly die?” 

The mayor said quietly, “It’s because the river has been polluted.” 

Stephen stared at the darkened river. 

When he came before, the river had been crystal clear. Now, it looked as if it was an entirely different river. 

“How did it get polluted out of the blue?” 

Stephen could not comprehend what he was seeing. Aqua City had been fine for the past few years, so why was the river polluted as soon as he arrived?

The mayor said, “According to our analysis, there are two reasons. 

“First of all, the upstream factories have been discharging pollutants into the river. 

“Secondly, the confluence of the downstream rivers has been blocked by the sports complex, preventing the polluted water from flowing out in time.” 

Stephen was stunned. 

Both of these reasons were traced back to him! 

He had approved Oliver and others to build factories, and he had chosen the location for them to build the sports complex. 

If the local aquatic life died in large numbers, it would definitely affect Aqua City’s GDP. 

He would be framed as the villain again!
