Chapter 449
Ethan sat on the sofa and looked at Jeremy calmly. “What is it?”
Jeremy lowered his head and told Ethan everything that happened lately, from Stephen giving him money for his mother’s treatment, the failed surgery, and his working for Stephen to repay him, to being tricked by Nolan and Fabian’s subsequent death.
He kept his head bowed, pleading, “I want to expose Nolan’s true colors.”
Ethan said, “Then, you should go to Nolan, not me.”
“He knows who I am now. I can’t get close to him anymore.” Jeremy knelt before Ethan again. “Please help me. I want to atone and bring Fabian justice.”
Ethan asked, “What has that got to do with me? Besides, Fabian’s sister and friends don’t blame you. Why make yourself suffer?”
Jeremy did not dare to lift his head. “They don’t blame me, but I can’t forgive myself.”
“That’s your problem. It still has nothing to do with me.” Ethan said, “You can leave now. I’m going to take a bath and go to sleep.”
He had no interest in their problems. Besides, they were the ones who caused said problems. Rather than thinking of a way to help them, he would rather think of what he would have for breakfast tomorrow. He also felt that the matter ended quite well for Jeremy.
“Lord Rivers!” Jeremy’s head snapped up, not expecting Ethan to refuse so firmly.
“Please give me a chance!” He crawled over to Ethan, his eyes red. “I’ll do anything!”
“Would you die?”
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the door.
Jeremy froze and turned to look. When he saw who the person was, his face went pale.
It was the South Regent!
“Did you two plan this?” Ethan looked at the South Regent. First, Jeremy came out of nowhere, and now, it was the South Regent.
“Sorry for disturbing you,” the South Regent apologized to Ethan.
Then, he stared at Jeremy coldly. “Answer me. Are you willing to die?”
The South Regent was completely disappointed in Jeremy. “I let you go because I wanted you to work with Fabian to uncover Nolan’s scheme, but you ended up killing Fabian instead! I should’ve decimated you back then.”
Jeremy lowered his head in guilt. There were many people he did not dare to face now.

The South Regent took a deep breath to calm himself down. Then, he turned back to Ethan, saying seriously, “Lord Rivers. I came today to ask you not to interfere.”
Ethan understood what he wanted to do.
Fabian’s death had to do with Jeremy, as well as Stephen and Nolan. Furthermore, the South Regent had lost more than just Fabian. He lost his company in Hill City too, and even his company executives had been arrested by Stephen,
These matters were an insult to the South Regent. He could not stay indifferent any longer, so Ethan knew that he wanted revenge. The South Regent was dropping all pretenses and wanted to confront the Spencers head–on, even if it meant dragging Hill City into chaos.
The South Regent said, “I want to go to war with the Spencers.”
To the side, Jeremy heard the words and was startled.
With the South Regent’s power, if he sent assassins against the Spencers, Hill City and Breeze City would fall into turmoil. Hill City was already incredibly weak. If gunfights or explosions were to break out on the streets, the city would be done for.
He anxiously looked at Ethan, hoping that the latter would stop the South Regent’s crazy idea. Under the South Regent and Jeremy’s tense gazes, Ethan slowly spoke, “This is none of my business.”
