Chapter 227


    Chapter 227 This Is Not My Responsibility to Bear


    Hearing Madam Young’s words, I took the notebook from her hands and opened it, finding hundreds of


    names.


    Seeing a familiar name, I could not help but be stunned for a moment. I looked at her, and said,


    “Maxwell Sanchez


    Madam Young nodded slightly and said after a moment, “That boy’s quite capable. When he was sent


    to the orphanage, I originally nned to arrange something for him through Mr. Zachary, but


    unexpectedly, your father stepped in first. Under your father’s care, he has grown up very well.”


    Looking at her, I hesitated for a few seconds and asked, “Was the reason you helped Scott Corporation


    during its difficult times partly because my father took care of Maxwell?”


    She nodded, not denying it.


    It made sense. When my father’s business was struggling and Scott Corporation faced bankruptcy, the


    Youngs proposed that if I married Idris, they would provide financial assistance to Scott Corporation.


    My father had always wondered why Madam Young specifically chose me, given the number of


    suitable matches in Lake City. Even if the Youngs had not offered financial help, he would not have


    opposed the marriage to the Youngs,


    Closing the yellowed notebook in my hand, I said to Madam Young, “Grandma, you’re giving this to me


    because…


    She nodded and exined, “I’m old, and there are many things I can no longer do. The incident back


    then was a sinmitted by Sir Young. There’s karma in this world, and I’m not afraid of retribution


    you


    Holding the notebook in my hand, I did not rush to respond to her. I remained silent for a while before


    asking, “Why not let Idris and Liam know about the past?”


    How could we even begin topensate for the grief of over three hundred lives and families?


    Madam Young sighed. “I thought about telling them, but seeing the attitude of Idris‘ father. after he


    found out, your grandfather and I dismissed the idea. The guilt of hundreds of lives is something we


    should bear, not them. Yvette, can you understand this selfishness of mine?”


    1 pursed my lips, saying nothing.


    If Idris knew that the flourishing and unshakable Young Corporation was built upon the sacrifice of


    hundreds of lives by his grandfather, could he still enjoy this wealth and honor with a clear conscience?


    Could he still stand at the top of the Young Corporation building, directing affairs and disying his


    talents?


    The answer was unknown to me, and I had no desire to probe further.


    I handed the notebook back to Madam Young and said, “Grandma, I can tell you that I’ll use my own


    strength to help and even take care of those survivors, but I will not take on this responsibility that


    you’re trying to pass onto me. It belongs to the Youngs, I will help them.

    Chapter 229 This is Not My Response


    because I want to, like my father did. I’ll do what I can out of my own volition, not as a duty for Young


    Corporation to atone. The responsibility you wish to pass on should not be mine to bear. I cannot carry


    this burden for the descendants of the Youngs.”


    I knew these words would disappoint Madam Young, but I would not take on this responsibility whether


    or not I was Idris‘ wife, and whether or not I would continue to have a long–term rtionship with him in


    the future.


    One person should not be too selfish. Having enjoyed the wealth and honor provided by their family,


    why should they not be the ones to bear the sinsmitted by the family too? Even ifpensation


    and atonement were needed, it should be done by the descendants of the Youngs themselves.


    In in terms, I was just an outsider.


    If there truly were vengeful spirits, I was merely afraid that my actions would not change the karma that


    would befall the descendants of the Youngs.


    After hearing my words, Madam Young seemed somewhat dazed for a while before she reached out to


    take the notebook back and sighed deeply, resignedly saying, “Alright, forget about it.”


    Watching her put away the notebook, I did not know what to say to her.


    There was a knock on the door. It was Mr. Zachary.


    He entered, saw that I was also present, nodded slightly at me, and then said to Madam Young,


    “Madam Young, the doctor is here to do your check–up.”


    Madam Young nodded, and I took the opportunity to help her out of the inner courtyard.


    I did not feel it was appropriate to stay while the doctor conducted her check–up, so after politely


    saying goodbye, I left her courtyard.


    It was alreadyte, and I was just thinking about leaving the mansion and finding a way to ask Charles


    to take me back.


    However, just as I had left Madam Young’s courtyard and was near a pavilion, Idris suddenly called out


    to me, “Where are you nning to go?
