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 planned 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 explained, “I’m old, and there are many things I can no longer do. The

incident back then was a sin committed by Sir Young. There’s karma in this world, and I’m

not afraid of retribution coming to me, but I fear it falling upon Idris and Liam. I am giving

this to in the hope that you will continue to look after these people in secret and, if

possible, try to compensate them.”

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 to compensate 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 displaying 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.

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 relationship 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 sins committed by the family

too? Even if compensation and atonement were needed, it should be done by the

descendants of the Youngs themselves.

In plain 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 already late, 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 planning to go?
