The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 424

In the end, Stephen had no choice but to hand all 70 million in donations to Nolan, trusting him to fix the places affected by the forest fire.

Nolan smiled. "Don't worry. I will do my best."

Now, he received a total of 120 million from Stephen through multiple parties. The Spencers were in desperate need of money, so there was no way he would spend all the money on helping people.

He distributed 50 million worth of compensation and let his men pocket 20 million from it. Then, he took 70 million to help the places affected by the forest-fire and skimmed another 30 million for his people.

He then sent his men overseas to launder the money through the Spencers' shady network, successfully transferring all the money to the family. After the transaction was complete, the men were taken out by the Spencers to ensure that they would never be seen again.

With that, Nolan distanced himself completely from whatever shady transactions that happened. Even if something went wrong, no one would ever be able to trace anything back to him.

Now, only 70 million dollars of Stephen's money remained, and 30 million of that was supposed to be for relief. For the local villagers and businesses that had lost so much in the disaster, that amount was not enough to compensate for their losses.

On top of that, the compensation money would certainly be filtered through the ranks, so when the people received the money once more, they felt like fools.

Everyone felt like they had been played.
