The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 5

“Ethan has no talent. Riveria’s success is all thanks to my father!”

The manager was stunned. Ethan had no talent? Riveria’s success was all thanks to George? He thought he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

Everyone in Riveria knew that George had no concern for the province. It was all Ethan’s efforts. Without Ethan, Riveria would not be a province with a GDP of 15 trillion dollars. Instead, it would be a poverty-stricken place plagued by trouble!

If not for the fact that Ethan was George’s future son-in-law, they would not have voted to re-elect George. Even the hotel, which was the largest in Riveria, was founded thanks to Ethan.

The manager frowned and said, “That’s not right. We common folks know Ethan well. Ask anyone, and they’ll sing his praises!”

George and Stephen’s expressions instantly darkened when they heard everyone would sing Ethan’s praises. That was not the news they wanted to hear, and they needed Ethan’s reputation to be thoroughly destroyed.

“Shut up.” George said coldly, “Don’t concern yourself with that. You just have to manage the hotel.”

The manager wanted to say more but hesitated. He understood now that Ethan had been used and discarded.

In his heart, he thought, ‘What a bunch of shameless people.’

Then, he began to worry. Although Riveria was currently peaceful and prosperous, there were hidden undercurrents. Everything was fine because Ethan maintained stability. Without him, Riveria would be done for!

“Why are you still standing there?” Rachel scolded, “Serve the food.”

The manager sighed and signaled for the food to continue being served.

Just then, a middle-aged man hurried in. It was none other than the lieutenant governor, Zane Sutton!

“Mr. Sutton,” the manager greeted respectfully.
