    Chapter 227 I Shouldn’t Have to Bear This Responsibility


    Listening to her words, I reached out and took the notebook from her hand, opened it and looked


    inside, hundreds of names.


    Seeing the familiar name, I couldn’t help but pause, looking at her and saying, “Alexander…”


    The olddy nodded slightly, paused, and said, “That child was quite good. When he was sent to the


    orphanage, I originally wanted Dale to arrange it, but I didn’t expect your father to get ahead. Over the


    years, under your father’s care, he has grown up very well.”


    Looking at her, I hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “When the


    Conner Group was in trouble years ago, you stepped in to help. Was part of the reason because my


    father had taken care of Alexander?”


    She nodded, not denying either.


    No wonder, back then, due to my father’s poor management, the Conner Group was facing bankruptcy.


    The Hinton family proposed that as long as I married Walter, the Hinton family would provide funds to


    help the Hinton family get through this crisis.

    Back then, my father could never understand why the Hinton family wanted to marry me. There were


    plenty of women in River City who were of equal social status to the Hinton family, so why did the old


    the Conner Group during their difficult times, if the Hinton family took a liking to me, my father would


    certainly not object.


    Closing the yellowed notebook in my hand, I looked at the olddy and said, “Grandma, you giving this


    to me is…”

    She nodded, saying, “After all, I’m getting old and can’t do many things for long. The things that


    happened back then were the sinsmitted by the old man. Buddha said that karma is a cycle, I’m


    not afraid of retributioning to me, but I’m afraid it wille to Walter and William. I’m giving this to


    you in the hope that you can help me, continue to secretly care for these people. If possible, I hope to


    Holding the notebook in my hand, I didn’t rush to speak. After a moment of silence, I asked, “Why didn’t


    you let Walter and my elder brother know about what happened back then?”


    Over three hundred lives, over three hundred families, how could future generationspensate or


    soothe their grief?


    The olddy sighed, “I had thought about telling them about what happened back then, but after seeing


    the attitude of Walter’s father when he found out, my husband and I gave up on that idea. Hundreds of


    lives, we can bear this guilt, we can’t let them suffer with us, Tabatha, can you understand my


    selfishness?”


    I pursed my lips, remaining silent.


    If Walter knew that the now prosperous and solid Hinton Group was umted by his grandfather


    stepping on hundreds of lives, could he still enjoy this glory and wealth with peace of mind? Could he


    still stand on the spire of the Hinton Group building, pointing out the country and disying his talents


    with peace of mind?


    The answer was beyond my knowledge.


    Hadn’t thought about investigating either.


    I handed the notebook to the olddy and began to speak, “Grandma, regarding this matter, what I can


    tell you is that I will use my own strength to help and even take care of those survivors, but I will not

    take on this responsibility that belongs to the Ilinton family that you are giving me. I will help them


    because I want to be like my father, doing everything I can, doing what I can do, out of my own heart,


    not because it’s the Ilinton Group’s responsibility to atone. This responsibility that you want to pass on


    should not be given to me. I can’t bear this responsibility for the descendants of the Hinton family.”


    I knew that saying this would disappoint the olddy, but I would not take on this responsibility,


    regardless of whether I was Walter’s wife or whether I would spend the rest of my life with him.


    One should not be too selfish. Having enjoyed the wealth and honor brought by this family, why can’t


    one bear the sinsmitted by this family step by step? Even ifpensation and atonement are


    required. it should be the descendants of the Hinton family who personally do it. To put it bluntly, I am


    just an outsider.


    If there truly were divine beings, I’m afraid I’ve already done what I had to do. The retribution that


    shoulde would still fall upon the descendants of the Hinton family, without the slightest deviation.


    After hearing my words, the old grandmother seemed somewhat dazed for a moment. After a long


    while, she reached out to take the notebook,” sighed deeply, and said helplessly, “Forget it, forget it.”


    Watching her put away the notebook. I didn’t know what to say to her.


    There was a knock at the door, it was Dale.


    He came in and saw that I was also there. After giving me a slight nod, he said to the olddy, “Madam,


    the doctor is here to examine you.”


    The olddy nodded, and I helped her out of the inner courtyard ordingly.


    The doctor was examining him, I couldn’t stay any longer. After politely saying goodbye, I left her yard.


    At that time, it was alreadyte. I had just thought about leaving the house and figuring out a way to


    have Odin take me back.


    Not long after leaving the olddy’s yard, he was suddenly called out by Walter outside a pavilion,


    “Where are you going?”
