Chapter 304
Mark worked for the South Regent, and his intention of entering Celestial City was not to help the city but to line
his own pockets.
As for the criminals that he caught, they were actually his subordinates!
Mark only sacrificed two of his men to gain public favor. Now, everyone believed that Mark was a good man.
In the future, Stephen would have to be extremely careful of any move he made against Mark.
Seeing the compliments, Stephen realized that he had to act quickly and bring Mark to justice. Otherwise, once
the truth cout, the people praising him today would scold him with equal fervor.
The next day, George's punishment was announced: a major demerit, a written self-reflection, and a public
apology.
Riveria would be managed by Stephen again, with George assisting him.
The punishment was relatively light thanks to Simon asking for leniency. Without his help, it would have been
much harsher.
The Intewas not satisfied though.
"It's not the death penalty?"
"George really lucked out."
"Well, Stephen's back in charge. Let's hope he can make Riveria better this time."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It won't be easy. Maybe Stephen should ask whoever managed Riveria three years ago for stips."
Although everyone was praising Stephen recently, they had not forgotten his past failures. Many doubted if he
could manage Riveria well.
Seeing these doubts, Stephen felt frustrated. He had been improving!
After accepting the punishment, George said to Stephen, "I'd like to go back for a few days to rest."
Stephen was his superior once again.
Stephen nodded. "Rest well. You've worked hard during this time."
If George had not stepped up, Stephen would have been the one facing punishment.
Stephen sent George off to the airport.

Meanwhile, he stayed in Celestial City. Although the South Regent's company brought stability to the city, there
were still many issues that required Stephen's attention: cleaning up the pollution in Crystal Lake, establishing
new tourist attractions, and most importantly,
ensuring the two criminals were execu??
Stephen would not sleep easily at night until they were dead!
George returned to the capital.
"Dad." Rachel cto pick him up. She had already heard about what happened in Celestial City./
George got into the car and sighed. "I regret it a bit. If Ethan were still around, | wouldn't have to deal with all
this."
Rachel fell silent. She also regretted it.
When Ethan was around, he never raised his voice at her or showed her any disrespect. He was not like Stephen,
who not only brought a woman back and scolded her, but even hit her in public.
She was the eldest daughter of the Lowes! In terms of beauty, body, temperament, and background, she was no
inferior to Snow!
George had been punished, and she still had to live with Stephen in the future.
She sighed helplessly.
When George reached home, he lay on his bed but could not fall asleep.
Riveria's future had once seemed so bright. Now, he was not so sure anymore.
"I need to see Ethan."
He needed to find a way to deal with the South Regent. Otherwise, he would never have peace of mind.
When Rachel heard that George was planning to go to Drakthorn Ridge, she said, "I'll cwith you."
George thought about it. If Rachel accompanied him, it might be easier to persuade Ethan to help.
Soon, they arrived at Drakthorn Ridge.
Rachel and George saw the villa door open and walked in together.
As soon as they did, what they saw made their hearts race, and a cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
