The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 324

Bang!

Nico slammed the table.

"Anyone can tell me to let go of the past but you! Have you forgotten who made me kill my own brother? Who caused my parents' illness and who made my wife leave? Who made me lose everything?"

He regretted not bringing a gun, or else he would be pointing it at Ethan's head.

Ethan took a sip of tea calmly. "You're wrong.'

"I'm wrong?" Nico looked at him with his eyes widened.

"You're Lars Wyatt's accomplice and helped him hurt a lot of people. You haven't taken any lives, but what you did earned you at least ten years behind bars.

"Since your old parents helped us before and they couldn't afford to lose two sons at once, plus the fact that you have a son, I gave you a chance to redeem yourself. Your brother noticed it. That's why he made you kill him.

"Lars chose death not just because he wants to give you all the credit. He also wanted to protect you. Only with his death, you wouldn't be exposed."

Nico's eyes widened in shock.

Ethan looked at him and continued, "That's why. You're wrong. It was not me who killed Lars Wyatt. It was he who chose death so that you could live."

Thump!

Nico was shocked. He collapsed on the couch, seemingly exhausted.
