Chapter 401
It was completely dark outside, and the room was dim, so Stephen did not know what tit was. The scenes
from the class reunion flashed in his head.
Everything felt hazy with his pounding headache He remembered everything clearly, yet the memories felt
strangely unfamiliar. It was as if he had dreamed of someone else's life.
"Is anyone there?" Stephen shouted.
Thud, thud.
There was a knock at the door. The butler had heard the noise and brought him shangover tea.
When the lights con and he saw the butler, Stephen felt slightly better. He took the tea and drank it. As he
sobered up, the memories crushing back to him.
Happy events, sad events, unforgettable events, Andy's grand aspirations, the significant losses, and also...being
abandoned.
He woke up at a moment when there was nothing he could do.
Stephen's movements stopped.
The butler asked in concern," "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Stephen muttered: "Just remembering sthings."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe could not drink anymore and handed the cup back to the butler, saying, "I want to sleep a bit more."
"Very well. Callif you need anything." The butler then left.
Stephen lay down on the bed. The headache from the hangover had not faded yet. He tossed and turned, unable
to sleep. Whenever he closed his eyes, he thought of Ethan and what the latter had said, "You overestimate
yourself."
Stephen could not sleep. He got up again, called the butler, and asked him to find someone to investigate what
happened to Ethan's welfare agency.
At 11 p.m., he got the information.
Stephen looked at the report and was stunned. Ethan's organization had 2 billion dollars of assets, and it had
helped as many as 300,000 people. Most of those receiving aid were from impoverished areas, and swere
families of heroes. Lastly, swere from poor families and had seriously ill relatives.
All that money that Ethan earned was through writing , producing films, and songwriting. He had never
taken a single penny from Riveria!
Stephen's hands began to tremble as he looked at this information.
Chapter 401
During the day, he thought that he had surpassed Ethan and stepped onto a path that Ethan had never seen
before. Now, he understood that Ethan had also traveled on this road before! Furthermore, he walked on it faster
and further than Stephen.
Every scenery Stephen saw now bore Ethan's footprints. Ethan understood everyone's helplessness,
hopelessness, and despair better than Stephen did! Stephen paled. Ethan's words echoed in his ears again. "You
need to learn to view problems from the perspective of ordinary people."
At that moment, he felt those words strike him like a lightning bolt, shaking his soul to its
core.
Back then, he thought that the meaning of that sentence was to make him learn the foolish thinking of ordinary
people.
Now, he understood. He had never lacked anything and had no idea how others lived. It was not until this class
reunion that he realized how ignorant he had been.
'He wantedto think of myself as an ordinary person and find the answers to problems from everyone's
perspective, offering a solution that satisfies everyone... It's only now that | understand.’
Not long ago, he had mocked Ethan in his heart, saying that Ethan was always high above and believed he
controlled everything. Now, it seemed like the person who truly thought he was above everyone and had
everything under control was himself!
'If I had understood this principle sooner, | wouldn't have ruined the fishery and tourism industries of Aqua City.
The housing prices in Celestial City wouldn't have collapsed either."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStephen felt an overwhelming regret.
'However, it's not too late forto realize it now. I still have a chance to make amends, starting with Penny."
Just as he was about to draft a plan, his phone suddenly rang. It was Blake.
Stephen answered it.
"Stephen? You don't need to worry about Penny anymore."
Stephen frowned. "Why?"
"Something has happened to her."
Boom!
Stephen felt like lightning just struck him.
