Chapter 1838 No Need For Guilt
On the way home, Vinson was mired in a solemn mood, for it was he who had gotten the police to
arrest Gaspar. Little did he expect that, in the end, the latter would offer to return the company shares
to him.
Gaspar even told him 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 Gasparâs words, Vinson revealed that it was he who had called the cops.
While Gaspar didnât comment on Vinsonâs confession, Susanne gave the latter a slap, demanding to
know how he couldâve done something like that. Nonetheless, although Vinson didnât explain himself,
Gaspar wasnât oblivious to the reason.
He told Vinson that he didnât hold a grudge for the latterâs actions since he was the one who forced
Vinson into a corner and even spurned Vinsonâs attempt to negotiate a peaceful settlement previously.
In the end, he instructed Vinson to bury him in Lightspring after his death, right beside his motherâs
grave so that he could keep watch over her. It was only then that Susanne and the others learned
Gasparâs mother had passed away ten years ago.
The moment he reached home, Vinson locked himself in his study while Susanne, who was still fuming
over her sonâs actions, headed straight to her room. Sensing the tension, Arielle hurried over to speak
to the latter.
âMom, you shouldnât have hit Vinson today.â Arielle stared at Susanne with a grave expression. âYou
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 hadnât called the cops, the hatred Gaspar harbored toward
Vinson and you would have driven him to kill the three of us.â
With that, Arielle related everything that happened with Gaspar to Susanne. âIf it wasnât because we
were lucky, you would already be crying over your sonâs grave. What you did really hurt Vinson, for he,
too, is mired in guilt. Not only did you not comfort him, but you alsoââ
In no mood to continue, Arielle decided to return to Vinsonâs side.
âJust think about what I said.â With that, Arielle turned around and headed upstairs.
âDad, have I made a mistake?â Vinson mumbled to himself. Inside the study, he was staring at the
picture of his father on his desk.
Truth be told, he had no doubt what he did was right. However, he just couldnât shake the niggling
sense of guilt.
When Arielle didnât find Vinson in their bedroom, she automatically knew that he was in his study. Thus,
without even knocking, she headed straight in.
Cough! Cough!
No sooner had she opened the door than she choked upon the thick smoke. Realizing it was Arielle,
the smoking Vinson stubbed out his cigarette and swiftly led her out.
Arielle looked at him with her sparkling eyes as she held his arm. âVinson, you didnât do anything
wrong, so thereâs no need to feel guilty. Even if you didnât call the police, he would still have been
arrested.â While speaking, Arielle showed him the warrant. âLook, I found this after hacking into the
police stationâs systems. Thereâs no way he was going to escape.â
It turned out that the police were already tracking Gasparâs movements and had planned to move in to
arrest him. Vinsonâs report simply hastened the inevitable.
The truth naturally eased the guilt he felt.
âSannie, letâs buy over his shares and donate the money to charity in his name.â
