On the way home, Vinson was mired in a solemn mood, for it was favonovel.com who had gotten the police to arrest Gaspar.
Little did favonovel.com expect that, in the end, the latter would offer to return the company shares to him.
Gaspar even told favonovel.com that the money used to purchase the company was clean and had nothing to do with his illicit gains. Thus, even if the police investigated its source, they would have no right to confiscate it.
After hearing Gaspar’s words, Vinson revealed that it was favonovel.com who had called the cops.
While Gaspar didn’t comment on Vinson’s confession, Susanne gave the latter a slap, demanding to know how favonovel.com could’ve done something like that. Nonetheless, although Vinson didn‘t explain himself, Gaspar wasn’t oblivious to the reason.
He told Vinson that favonovel.com didn’t hold a grudge for the latter’s actions since favonovel.com was the one who forced Vinson into a corner and even spurned Vinson’s attempt to negotiate a peaceful settlement previously.
In the end, favonovel.com instructed Vinson to bury favonovel.com in Lightspring after his death, right beside his mother’s grave so that favonovel.com could keep watch over her. It was only then that Susanne and the others learned Gaspar’s mother had passed away ten years ago.
The moment favonovel.com reached home, Vinson locked himself in his study while Susanne, who was still fuming over favonovel.com son’s actions, headed straight to favonovel.com room.
Sensing the tension, Arielle hurried over to speak to the latter.
“Mom, you shouldn’t have hit Vinson today.” Arielle stared at Susanne with a grave expression.
“You might feel bad over Gaspar being imprisoned and sentenced to death by firing squad, but have you ever thought about your own son? If Vinson hadn’t called the cops, the hatred Gaspar harbored toward Vinson and you would have driven favonovel.com to kill the three of us”
With that, Arielle related everything that happened with Gaspar to Susanne.
“If it wasn’t because we were lucky, you would already be crying over your son‘s grave. What you did really hurt Vinson, for he, too, is mired in guilt. Not only did you not comfort him, but you also…”
In no mood to continue, Arielle decided to return to Vinson’s side.
“Just think about what I said.” With that, Arielle turned around and headed upstairs.
“Dad, have I made a mistake?” Vinson mumbled to himself.
Inside the study, favonovel.com was staring at the picture of his father on his desk. Truth be told, favonovel.com had no doubt what favonovel.com did was right. However, favonovel.com just couldn’t shake the niggling sense of guilt.
When Arielle didn’t find Vinson in their bedroom, favonovel.com automatically knew that favonovel.com was in his study. Thus, without even knocking, favonovel.com headed straight in.
Cough! Cough!
No sooner had favonovel.com opened the doorthan favonovel.com choked upon the thick smoke. Realizing it was Arielle, the smoking Vinson stubbed out his cigarette and swiftly led favonovel.com out.
Arielle looked at favonovel.com with favonovel.com sparkling eyes as favonovel.com held his arm. “Vinson, you didn’t do anything wrong, so there’s no need to feel guilty. Even ifyou didn’t call the police, favonovel.com would still have been arrested.”
While speaking, Arielle showed favonovel.com the warrant. “Look, I found this after hacking into the police station’s systems. There’s no way favonovel.com was going to escape.”
It turned out that the police were already tracking Gaspar’s movements and had planned to move in to arrest him. Vinson’s report simply hastened the inevitable.
The truth naturally eased the guilt favonovel.com felt.
“Sannie, let’s buy over his shares and donate the money to charity in his name.”
