Moreover, there was the South Regent’s newly opened mining company in Hill City. Stephen had to find a way to manage the aftermath of these events and keep the South Regent’s company in check.
He thought about it for a long time, but even when George walked out of the house, he still could not come up with a solid idea. George saw him sitting in the garden and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Enjoying the sun.” Stephen made up an excuse.
“It’s good to relax a little sometimes. Don’t pressure yourself too much,” George replied.
At this moment, a car stopped at the entrance. When the car door opened, Liam walked out. He took a glance at Stephen before landing his gaze on George.
George noticed Liam and said, “I need to go. The next time I return will probably be in a few
years.
George smiled bitterly as he spoke. He had never imagined he would one day end up in prison
Stephen felt a sense of heaviness in his heart. “Let me send you off.”
“Sounds good,” George responded.
As they were about to leave, Rachel came over, too. She also wanted to send George off, so Stephen and Rachel sent George to the door together.
Liam stepped forward while holding handcuffs.
“There’s no need for that. I’ll follow you,” George quickly said. Liam put the handcuffs away and opened the car door for him. George sighed as he slowly got into the car.
As the car door closed, tears welled up in Rachel’s eyes while Stephen looked up at the sky, feeling helpless. There was nothing he could do. Without saying a word, Liam drove away with Geor
“It’s all your fault!” Rachel rebuked Stephen.
Stephen was at a loss for words. He could only watch helplessly as the car carrying George drove away.
In the car, George watched as the scenery outside the window flashed by
then glanced at the iron bars inside the car, his heart filled with mixed emotions. “I never thought I’d end up here.
Liam replied, “Actually, it’s not surprising.”
George frowned and asked, “Why not?”
“Because the moment you guys decided to lock Mr. Rivers away, your fate was already sealed.”

George was rendered speechless upon hearing his words. He was being imprisoned because he locked Ethan away? He had laughed at Ethan for being locked up in the past, but now that he was going to be imprisoned, he was no different from Ethan.
At that moment, reality finally struck George, leaving him shaken to the core. His face was burning with shame. He had become the very person he once mocked!
“I don’t understand how he could manage Riveria that well,” George said.
Before Stephen started officially running Riveria, he thought Riveria was a place where its GDP would rise even without doing anything, and people there were obedient and compliant. He thought climbing the ranks and making a fortune would be easy as pic there.
Once he started running Riveria, only did he realize how wrong his previous thoughts were. Since when was Riveria a place where its GDP would rise naturally, and people behaved obediently? It was the exact opposite!
Riviera was extremely dangerous, with scheming, cunning people lurking everywhere. Riveria’s true natur was a vast sea that only seemed calm on the surface with powerful undercurrents and man–eating sharks hidden beneath! One misstep and not even one’s ashes would remain!
George could not understand how Ethan could manage Riveria so well, even though he seemed so young. It seemed like all the dangerous people feared him.
“Heh.” Liam let out a cruel laugh. “If you’d understood it, you wouldn’t have locked him up and ended up like this.”
George was soon put behind bars.
