Then, George, Snow, Julius, and Tommy's figures flashed through his mind.
"|..." Stephen could not continue.
"You still overestimate yourself." Ethan finished speaking and hung up the phone.
The manager also said, "If there's nothing else, Il hang up now."
Click.
The phone fell silent.
Stephen lowered his head, slumping in his chair.

The classmates around him were also quiet. They all knew that Stephen was clearly enemies with the person on
the phone, and it was clear that Stephen was no match for him. Just a few words from that person had left
Stephen speechless.
After a moment of silence, Stephen slowly put his phone away and stood up, saying to Penny, I'll help you with
your situation."
It was not merely because he owed Penny. He wanted to prove to Ethan that he could help and even protect the
people around him!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, he walked over to Chloe. "If you don't want to leave, just stay. They won't dare oppose you."
Chloe smiled faintly. "If I stay, will you support me?"
Stephen was speechless.
"That
exe
person wasn't wrong," said Chloe. "You overestimate yourself. You can help me, but this has to do with the fate of
my whole family. I'm powerless, and I've resigned myself to that. Take care of yourself first."
Stephen lowered his head. At that moment, he suddenly understood what Ethan meant by him overestimating
himself. He had money, and the Quinns had even more so. It was true that he could help speople using that
money.
Although he could help Chloe, he could not help her entire family. Even if Chloe managed to break free, someone
else would take her place.
Similarly, he could help Leo, but he could not help Leo's future children.
He could help Penny, but her husband was already dead, and the chances of her son returning to normal were
slim to none.
Sure, Stephen could help, but he could not solve the real problems. Those problems were not something money
could resolve. He lowered his head, clenching his fists tightly.

Blake walked over and comforted him. "You've done well enough."
Was that true?
**%+28 BONUS
Stephen did not believe it. Had he really done well enough? He felt like he had achieved nothing!
"Thanks," he said softly.
The pride and fulfillment he felt from helping Penny had long since dissipated, especially after learning that he
had caused her support to be cut off. He felt nothing but guilt.
The food was finally served, but Stephen had lost his appetite.
After a few rounds of drinks, he wanted to talk to Chloe but found that she had already left. He no longer had the
chance to see her again.
Penny was also reluctant to eat much and wanted to take the food hto her
son.
Stephen slumped in his chair. In his drunken haze, he seemed to see someone standing not far away, looking at
him. He squinted and saw Snow

He thought that he had seen wrongly and rubbed his eyes, looking again.

It was not just Snow, but Julius as well.
"Julius!"
Julius nodded at him and turned to leave.
"Snow, Julius, where are you going?" Stephen shouted and tried to stand, but the alcohol made his legs weak. He
tried several times but could not get up. He could only watch as the two walked away.
Blake saw Stephen starting to babble and had someone drive him home.
It was not until late at night that he finally woke up. He opened his eyes and pushed himself up from the bed,
feeling muddled.
