The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 19

To be honest, George was not entirely confident either because he had not discovered that those women were the widows of the fallen heroes. However, considering they had come so far, there was no turning back.

There were so many officials and other governors watching. If it ended there, they would become laughingstocks. Since the arrow was already nocked, it had to be fired!

Hearing that, Stephen calmed down slightly. In any case, George was his future father-in-law. Surely, his future father-in-law would not set him up, would he?

"Okay, I agree," Stephen agreed.

Believing that George must have his best interest at heart, he wrote a guarantee and led a group inside to search the apartments.

Once inside, they were shocked to find that the million-dollar apartments were furnished simply. It was just the bare basics. The cost of a single table in George's home could have furnished half of one of those apartments. Seeing it made George's heart sink.

Stephen ordered the search, but after more than half an hour, they found nothing. Refusing to believe it, he searched several more apartments but still found no evidence. There was only more proof that the women were indeed the widows of the fallen heroes.

After half a day, Stephen's normally confident and composed expression turned pale as he broke out in a cold sweat.
