Chapter 480 There Was No Way Out
“Being human?” Walter’s face suddenly turned very serious, looking at the olddy, “Grandma, do you
also know that one cannot behave like this?”
The olddy was so taken aback by his actions that she didn’t know what to do for a moment. She
stared at him nkly for a long time, unable to utter a word.
Walter seemed to be in a bad mood, he stared intently at the olddy and said, “Grandma, I ask you,
why did my father leave the Hinton family back then?”
I suddenly had a bad premonition.
The olddy was also stunned. She didn’t rush to speak, but instead turned her gaze towards me. I
knew, she was suspecting that I had told Walter about the incident from ten years ago.
looked bewildered, I had never mentioned this to Walter.
Seeing my seemingly identical expression, the olddy furrowed her brows, looked at Walter, and
began, “Walter, haven’t I told you before, your father he…”
“Wanted to go out and make your own way, so you’ve been lost for so many years, right?” Walter took
up her words, looking at her with a pained expression, “Grandma, it’s been ten years. Are you really not
nning to tell us about what happened back then? Are you nning to let the descendants of the
Hinton family naturally inherit the Hinton Group that our ancestors kept with a guilty conscience?”
Watching Walter’s reaction, I could almost be certain that he knew

about the incident from ten years ago.
Had Ezra looked for him?
I couldn’t think of anything else besides this.
The olddy looked at him, her face deathly pale, her lips trembling slightly. Her voice was hoarse as
she said, “Walter, you…”
“Hundreds of lives, grandmother, do you really think that by kneeling in the Buddha hall every day,
eating vegetarian meals and chanting sutras, you can truly deliver those departed souls?” Walter
looked at her, his expression trembling.
I could probably understand his feelings. From childhood to adulthood, what he knew about the Hinton
family was that they always conducted business in a bright and upright manner. They relied on the old
man to step by step reach where they are today. Even if they used. some underhanded tactics in the
business world, they would never take human lives lightly. Moreover, the incident back then involved
hundreds of lives. These people were innocent vigers and
hardworkingborers in the mountains. They probably thought before their death that they were just
unlucky to encounter andslide, being buried deep in the ground, and resting there forever.
Perhaps even their living family members naively believed that the death of their loved ones was an
unavoidable ident, all a matter of
fate.
Only the real culprit knew that all of this was due to his greed, the endless exploitation of the
mountains, which resulted in the death of so many people. Everything could have been avoided, but for
the sake of money, they did not hesitate to risk the lives of hundreds of people.
When Dale was talking to me at that time, I was terrified. A decade had passed since the disaster,

Hinton family still remained the top enterprise in River City and even the whole country. The
descendants of the Hinton family were envied by others. They still enjoyed the best resources and
became the most stable people at the top of the pyramid.
Stepping on a pile of white bones, bing the most dazzling existence, this was undoubtedly the
most ironic, but also indeed the most realistic.
At this point in the conversation, it was clear that Walter had found out about everything.
Upon seeing this, the olddy sighed deeply, clutching the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said to
him, “Walter, the events of those years were caused b
your grandfather alone, they have nothing to do with you. If there is
any atonement to be made, it is for our older generation to make. We have umted so many
karmic debts, both your grandfather and I are destined for hell, but you don’t have to worry, you were
young at that time, you knew nothing.”
Walter helplessly sat down on the sofa, looking at the olddy with utter exhaustion. “Grandma,” he
said, “if you don’t want others to know, you shouldn’t have done it. It’s toote for all of this. The things
from the past, perhaps soon, will be known to all.”
The olddy was taken aback, her whole body tensing up as she looked at Walter. Her voice trembled
as she asked, “What… what do you mean?”
Walter closed his eyes in despair and said, “Someone has all the
information about the incident at Mount Snake years ago, it was left by Henry at that time.”
“This…” The olddy was anxious, her face full of worry, she said helplessly, “Your grandfather had
clearly sorted it all out back then, how could it still…”

Upon suddenly hearing such news, the olddy was overwhelmed with emotion and fainted abruptly.
Suddenly, everyone started to panic and scramble.
Walter reacted extremely quickly, carrying the olddy out while instructing Dale to contact the doctor.
The Hinton family had a specific doctor. Upon arriving at the hospital, the olddy was hastily taken into
the emergency room by the doctor. I followed all the way, standing at the door of the emergency room,
seeing Walter’s forehead covered in cold sweat.
I couldn’t help but sigh slightly, “Why put yourself through this?”
He looked at me, his dark eyes deep and profound. Without a word, he walked over to me, pulled me
into his arms,
pulled me into his arms, and held me tightly. With a helpless voice, he said, “I can’t think of any other
way but this.”
