Female NovelEthan hugged Wilbur tightly and sobbed hard.
Wilbur patted his back and said, "Alright, you're a tough man. What's with this crying? Let's go back before we talk." "Yeah." Ethan nodded. Then, the three of them went back to the hotel where Wilbur was staying.
They sat on the sofa and Wilbur told Ethan what happened. Walter was frightened and uneasy after hearing what he said.
Ethan clenched his jaw after he was done listening. He said, "I can't repay you for what you did, but my life is yours. I'll return my life to you whenever you need it." "What are you saying? Being alive is better than anything. Don't forget that you have a sister you need to take care of," Wilbur reminded him.
Ethan nodded firmly. They had a bond that went beyond words, and there was no need for further discussion.
Suddenly, Wilbur asked, "How are you going to deal with Joel William?" "He has to die," said Ethan while clenching his jaw.
Wilbur nodded and said, "I agree. An eye for an eye, two lives for two lives. There's nothing much to say about that." Suddenly, someone knocked.
Walter hurriedly opened the door when Wilbur frowned. They saw a hotel server holding a letter at the door. He said, "Mister Penn, there is a letter for you." Walter accepted the letter and closed the door. He passed the letter with both hands to Wilbur.
Wilbur tore the envelope and looked at the letter. Then, he looked at Ethan.
"What happened?" asked Ethan.
Wilbur replied slowly, "Joel William hung himself last night, and he left a will. Half of Viewspring Corp has been given to you." "He took his own life?" Ethan was immediately infuriated. He could not avenge his parents without killing Joel himself.
Wilbur frowned and said slowly, "Ethan, he committed suicide and gave you half of his assets to protect his family. | think you should let it rest." Two lives were exchanged for the lives of his parents, so it could be said that Ethan had his revenge. Wilbur felt like Joel's family should be left alone.novelbin
The incident was caused by Joel and his son, after all. The grudge was over because the two of them had died. Moreover, Ethan received assets worth around two billion dollars as compensation too.
Ethan let out a long sigh, and he said, "You call the shots, boss, but | won't accept Joel's money." "Are you stupid? Why won't you accept the money?" Wilbur asked.
Ethan replied, "I will feel uneasy with his money. It's dirty money." "Ethan, if | place two sets of one hundred dollars here, can you tellwhich one is clean? Or which one is dirty?" Ethan was instantly speechless.
Wilbur frowned and said, "Whatever money it is, it doesn't matter. What matters is how you use the money. Dirty money will becclean money if you use it to help the poor. Money and power are the same. It's good when you use it suitably, and it's corrupt when you abuse it. Do you understand?” Ethan pondered for a long while before he finally nodded.
Wilbur laughed and said, "That's the spirit. Get yourself together. We're still young, and there are plenty of things ahead of us." "Yeah," Ethan said with a nod.
Wilbur looked toward Walter and said, "You can handle all the paperwork. | won't skimp on your pay." "Thank you, sir! I'll do my best to your satisfaction. | won't make any mistakes." Walter was overjoyed.
