The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 520

Charles went to the hospital to take care of the medical bills and then talk to his father. He believed even without Ethan, he and his family could live a good life.

"Ethan committed a crime and was jailed for it. If you want me to take him as our savior, I can't do it. Besides, I have the money. I have 500 thousand dollars."

Xavier was astonished by the astronomical amount. He looked at Charles, but there was no happiness or excitement in the man's eyes. As a father, he knew exactly what happened.

"You took bribes."

Charles' expression froze, but he forced a smile and said, "What? No. I'm not that kind of person. I will never bow down to money."

He was slightly stunned when the words escaped his mouth. They felt familiar. It was what Ethan had told him last night, and in less than twenty-four hours, he had done the complete opposite. It was a slap in his face.

Nevertheless, he feigned a calm look and said, "The money is clean."

Xavier looked at him but said nothing. He simply sighed. After Charles left, Xavier told his wife about their son.
