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!

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.
