    Paul finally panicked. Grabbing Richard’s hand, he said, “Mr. Stone, you have to believe me. I swear I don’t know that man.


    “He came here to secretly take a bunch of evidence and tried to sneak it out. It–it was Gina and Donald. They were the ones who led the charge to catch him and lock him up.”


    “I knew nothing about it. I really didn’t know.” Paul begged frantically, “Mr. Stone, please save me. You were part of it too…”


    Richard pped him three times, fuming with rage.


    “Bullshit!”


    He was already exhausted dealing with the people backing Olivia, and now a rich young man from Kingtonelle had shown up. Richard felt like his days were numbered.


    Just from what Paul had said, Richard’s superiors would crush him without mercy.


    But Paul suddenly seemed to get an idea and crawled toward Olivia. “Miss, this is all a misunderstanding.”


    Lying on the ground, Steven was barely conscious, his words slipping out beyond his control. All he had left was hatred toward Olivia and the others. “Paul, what are you afraid of? Kill them. Just kill


    them all.


    “In Magnolia Town, anyone who dares to cross me has to die. This woman has to die, and that man has to die too.”


    “Dr. Lewis, what nonsense are you spouting?” Paul was terrified out of his mind. He thought Steven had


    gone insane. Edward had already revealed who he was, yet Steven still dared to provoke him.


    Paul quickly covered Steven’s mouth and stammered an apology to Edward. “Mr. Monroe, please don’t hold this against us. We really didn’t know who you were. If we had, we never would’ve-”


    Before he could finish, Edward cut him off. “Enough. You deceived innocent young girls, trafficked people, and harmed women. These crimes are unforgivable.”


    The Monroe family would never let this go.


    Paul saw this and decided to y the emotional card. He burst into tears and said to Richard, “Mr. Stone, my son died saving you. You promised him you’d protect me.”


    Hearing that, Richard was momentarily at a loss for words.


    Years ago, a mudslide blocked off the mountains. On his way out of town, Richard was caught in danger.

    Fortunately, Paul wasn’t an ungrateful man. During holidays, he would always bring Richard some gifts.


    Only now did Olivia realize the twists and turns behind it all.


    She had long suspected Magnolia Town wasn’t as simple as it seemed, and that the ties behind it were messy. But she hadn’t expected this to be the reason.


    You can’t let my son die for nothing!” Paul cried miserably, even throwing himself on the ground n a full–blown fit. “Son, you shouldn’t have left like this.”


    More and more people gathered to watch. Seeing the scene, many of them grew uneasy. If this eally came to light, all of them would end up in prison.


    Not wanting to go to jail, they began crowding around Richard, trying to pressure him.


    Mr. Stone, Mr. Lowell has worked hard all these years. Maybe he’s not perfect, but he’s done his hare of work. You can’t just stand by and watch him die.”
