The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

"What's wrong?"

Stephen noticed George's unusual reaction, so he curiously took the document for a quick look.

Instantly, he too was dumbfounded. They were bank transaction records showing Ethan's payments to the widows and the widows' spending habits!

Every month, Ethan had been transferring between 80 to 100 thousand dollars to each family, plus the annual tuition of 200 thousand dollars, without fail!

In other words, Ethan gave each family nearly 1.5 million dollars yearly, which was just for one family. There were seventy to eighty families there, meaning the total amount added to at least 105 million dollars!

"105 million!"

"105 million dollars every year!"

For a moment, George could barely breathe as he was overwhelmed by that astronomical figure.

Stephen's jaw dropped, and for a moment, he was lost for words. His earlier comment on how much Ethan could afford to give now felt like a boomerang that had circled back to smack him right in the face. The embarrassment stung badly, and he wished he could find! a hole to crawl into.

The amount Ethan had been giving out was staggering. George, upon recalling his promise to the widows, felt a sharp pain in his chest.
