Chapter 204
That arrangement was incredibly beneficial to Oliver.
“I can also offer you strategies to manage Riveria better.”
George and Stephen were thrilled.
Oliver smiled faintly. He was not going anywhere now that he knew he would be the leading business soon. However, that did not mean that Oliver lacked ambition. He planned to take control of half the power in Aqua City!
George had the contract ready, and once Oliver reviewed it to confirm there were no issues, he signed it.
“I look forward to working with you,” Oliver said as he shook hands with George.
Seeing that Oliver was willing to help them, Stephen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like the chaos in Aqua City would soon come to an end.
Oliver noticed the look of relief on Stephen’s face, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips. “Stephen, I have some news for you. It’s about Snow.”
Stephen’s body stiffened.
“Wait, do you know where Snow is?” Stephen asked.
Now that he had lost direct control over Riveria, the main credit would not be his, even if Riveria’s GDP were to increase to 20 trillion in the future. Besides, after everything, seeking forgiveness or getting help to find Snow was nearly impossible.
If Stephen wanted to search for Snow in secret, searching through Riveria alone would take five years! Stephen could only hope that someone around him knew where Snow was.
“I don’t know.” Oliver shook his head. “Only Ethan would know where she is, but I do know the one who reported Snow back then.”
Stephen clenched his fists as he asked, “Who was it?”
If Snow had not been reported back then, nobody would know that Snow had a criminal background, and he would have still been able to be with her. It was all the informant’s fault!
Although Stephen could not take down Ethan, he could still do something about the one who reported Snow.
“Tell me! Who was it?”
Oliver said with a smile, “Me.”
Stephen felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his mind went blank. It was Oliver,

Chapter 204
the man who was supposed to help them save Aqua City–he reported Snow!
Stephen stumbled backward, almost losing his balance.
He could not make a move on Ethan because he was the only one who knew where Snow was. However, he could not touch Oliver either, because only he could save Aqua City.
For a moment Stephen was lost.
Ethan had taken away Snow, and Oliver had betrayed him by reporting Snow, making both Stephen’s enemies. Yet, he could not take revenge on either of them. In fact, he even had to thank them! He had to thank Ethan for saving Snow and Oliver for helping Aqua City!
“Ah!” Stephen screamed in frustration before running out the door.
George stood frozen, staring at the scene, unsure how to react. Oliver had become Stephen’s mortal enemy, but Stephen could do nothing about him.
Oliver looked at George with amusement. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.
“Give me five million dollars later, and I’ll get things ready. In seven days, I’ll be able to calm the situation in Aqua City.”
