Avery waved her down. "It's alright. Just calm down." He looked at Ethan. "Leia is very agitated now. You should bring her somewhere else to get some rest." It was awkward enough for Ethan to stay in this room because of what he had done. It was as if all the men in the Fordham family wished they could kill Ethan right there. The only reason why Ethan was here was to let Leia hear the truth. After all, Leia was extremely stubborn and conservative. She would not believe in anything if she didn't see it with her own eyes. "Mr. David, please rest well. I'll visit you another time." Ethan greeted him politely. To his surprise, David threw a pillow right at him. "Get out!" David was so angry that his face was red. He couldn't contain his anger the moment he thought about how his own daughter was bullied by others when she was living out there all alone. Olivia quickly went over to comfort him, "Dad, you shouldn't get agitated. Your body is still weak." "Is your name Oliv

Ethan led Leia out of the hospital, who was miserable. She only suffered from a minor injury as she was grazed by a bullet. But from the look on her face, it was as if she had been fatally wounded. Staring into the space, she sat in the back seat without a word. She looked like she was on the verge of falling apart. Hearing the truth had brought an overwhelming impact on her. At this moment, she felt nothing but guilt and conflict. Lifting her head, she stared at Ethan in a daze. "Ethan, so this is the reason why you didn't kill me. You knew that this outcome would make me feel even worse than killing me." Leia covered her face. Tears slipped through the gaps between her fingers. "I didn't want this to happen. I just wanted to help him, but what did I do? I nearly killed his own sister. Damn it!" Seeing how Leia was blaming herself for everything, Ethan sighed. "I'm not a god, nor do I possess the skill of foreseeing the future. The reason why I didn't kill you was that I w

The Fordham family was in the throes of havoc, and Jacqueline was growing anxious.Although there was no definite evidence to prove David's identity, the Fordhams were convinced that he wasn't Douglas' son.Many questions were raised regarding David's side of the family.Jacqueline and Deborah's initial plan was to make this the last generation of the Fordham family. That way, they could inherit most of the family business, which was worth a lot of money!No matter how well the Fordhams treated Jacqueline, she was supposed to marry someone in the end.From there, all she would gain was wedding gifts, which she would bring to the Procter family anyway. Once she got married, she would become a man's belonging.Jacqueline didn't do it solely to avenge Deborah. The main reason was for herself.Compared to Deborah, who was blinded by love, Jacqueline was way smarter. Jacqueline knew that love was the most unreliable thing in the world.Only materials could provide her with the sense

Avery was slightly taken aback.After all, Deborah was exposed and managed to escape. Why would Jacqueline not seize the chance to run away but call him instead?Olivia's guess was right!Jacqueline wasn't only evil; her ambition burned like a supernova."Jacqueline, what's wrong?" Avery acted."You've been out of touch. I was so worried. Are you okay?""I'm okay. I found out that Dad's not dead yet. I've been trying to save him.""How is he doing? Is he safe now?" Anxiety seeped into her voice.Had Avery not known the truth, he wouldn't have told her this. It was a bait to lure her out of the den.Jacqueline was one scary woman.Unlike her young age, she possessed an ambition and daringness that far exceeded that of ordinary people.Killing her would be too light of a punishment for her.Avery replied as Olivia had told him to beforehand. Jacqueline requested to meet David right away."Okay, but it's still not safe yet. Don't alarm others when you come. I'm afraid it'll

David gazed at the young lady. Her eyes were red from all the crying, and her voice was trembling.She used to be the child he loved so much."Dad, I'm so glad that you're fine. You don't know how worried I was these days!" Jacqueline cried next to the bed only to receive zero response.She felt weird. "Dad…"Tory suppressed the surging hatred in him. "Jacqueline, Dad is still feeling weak." That was the calmest possible voice he could make."Get a good rest, Dad. Don't worry about anything and focus on your recovery. You've got to look after the house," she comforted."Okay," responded David succinctly.The protruding veins on the back of his hand went unnoticed by her. He was gripping the bedsheet vehemently. It took everything in him to rein himself back from killing her.The sheer thought of her past deeds stirred a storm of emotions in him.All he could do was close his eyes and repeat to himself not to give the game away. He had to tolerate it for Olivia's plan.In fa

Avery added, trying to lure Jacqueline into the trap, "We're in hot waters. Mom is missing, and Henley's family is watching us. They've never liked how Grandpa favored us. "They consider Dad's company one of Grandpa's assets, so they began to purchase some shares here and there before Grandpa passed on. Before, we didn't have anything to worry about. Those shares wouldn't pose a threat, but Grandpa is dead now."Jacqueline's expression changed. "Is it bad?""Yes, it's bad. The shares they bought and Grandpa's shares have surpassed the amount of shares Dad has." He sighed. "It's because Dad loves us so much. He gave us a portion of the shares. No one expected Grandpa to pass away, and Henley's family is causing trouble now. The amount of shares Dad has can't be compared to them. "They can become the rightful owner of the company. Even if we take this to the court, we're bound to lose the case.""What should we do?"Jacqueline had long set her eyes on this company. If she weren

One billion dollars was equivalent to Jacqueline's entire savings.If she coughed it up to help the Fordhams and couldn't take the money back in the end, her effort would all go down the drain.However, Avery clearly said that he would hand over the company to her. In other words, she only had to spend one billion dollars to gain the company, which would bring her more profit in the future.It was a huge bet. To gamblers, the riskier the bet was, the more handsome and enticing the profit would be.The possibility of losing the bet did cross her mind, but she knew Avery's character very well after having lived with the Fordhams for so long. He was a man of his word.After weighing the loss and the profit she could earn, the latter seemed more enticing to her.She had been plotting this for so many years. How could she give up on it so easily when the lion's share was just right within her reach?Avery gave her a difficult look. "One billion dollars is a huge sum of money, Jacqu

Alexander was a careful person who didn't ask for much. His sole wish was to have a peaceful life.It wasn't that he couldn't bring himself to do as Jacqueline said, but she was basically planning to gamble all their savings for a future. A loss would mean losing everything!Similar to Jacqueline's story, he struck gold and was able to become the son of a rich family by chance. He cherished his life dearly.Even if they decided to back out of the game right now, they had enough money to spend for the rest of their life.Greed was never rooted in him. To him, this moment was the peak of his life. Never once had he ever wished to become rich overnight.Jacqueline obviously thought differently from him. Despite his effort to dissuade her from doing it, she didn't budge an inch.She became livid instead. "Alexander Procter, I'm just going to ask this one question—are you going to help me or not?""Why would I not help you, Jacqueline? I'm just—""Then enough of the nagging! Once I

Warren's pale face showed a hint of pleading. "Olivia, we've gotten to know each other better in the past two years. Have you ever loved me?"Hatred was evident in Olivia's cold eyes. "Never. I pray for your death every single second of my life.""I knew it." He smiled at that embittering answer. Karma had always been there. Another sound of a gunshot surprised the birds. A pool of blood splashed over the flowers. Warren stared at the picture on the gravestone. "Mona, I've returned everything that I owe you…"Olivia's gaze alternated between the two bodies.

"Avery, what happened?" Olivia inquired.She had no clue what was happening and didn't dare to go anywhere close to Louis. The only person who she got close to was Avery."Stay away, Olivia! It's too dangerous!" Avery yelled worriedly. Louis shifted his gaze to Olivia. "My experiment is going to be successful soon. That's Natalie's descendant. She has Natalie's genes in her…"Olivia's eyes widened as she finally realized why Louis had been taking special care of her. Back then, she simply assumed that it was due to her health and talent, but it turned out that he had known her identity all along!The purpose of the human modification project was to resurrect Natalie!

Olivia arrived on the island. She noticed the change in the atmosphere this time around.It was the same old scenery, but the robots that once filled the island to the brim were gone. She expected to encounter some inspection robots upon arrival, but there weren't any.Ships were docking in lines by the seashore, and most of them belonged to private foreigner organizations and mercenaries. People were coming to the island!What happened?Was Louis in danger?Although Louis wished to transform her into a cyborg, she hoped he could live regardless. No matter what field it was, no one would come before an outstanding scientist like him. It would be a huge loss to lose him.Olivia grew worried. "Calm down, Liv. A lot of people came to the island, but I don't think it's a big issue for now," Ethan reminded her.He bet that the ships were loaded with ammunition. Still, the buildings on the island were intact, and nothing seemed to be destroyed. She disagreed, "No, there should

Mason and David had a long discussion by themselves. No one knew what they talked about.But it didn't matter because it was just an extra member joining the Fordham family anyway. That was it.On the other hand, Tatiana was a little worried. If the whole Fordham family were to be added to the family registry, would her children inherit less from the Heath family?Humans were born selfish. When the event actually came to pass, everyone would be thinking about their own benefit. However, the result of the discussion between David and Mason surprised everyone.Even though David wasn't acknowledged as one of the Fordhams, he wasn't planning to change his surname to Heath.He saw himself as a Fordham because his mother married Douglas.Nevertheless, he didn't mind his family being relatives with the Fordham family.Mason was a little disappointed, but he still respected David's decision because he knew how well Douglas treated David's family.Mason asked the Fordham family to sta

Olivia and the others returned to the Fordham family. Everything was going back on track under Avery's management. Sean's leg was recovering well. He could walk like a normal person, and he didn't have to pretend to be a cripple anymore. Troy would need more time to heal, but he was making progress.David clearly seemed better than he was before Olivia left. Everyone could still hardly believe that Jacqueline almost killed everyone in the family all by herself. When Olivia returned, David asked with concern, "Olivia, Avery said that you were cursed. How are you feeling right now?""Don't worry, Dad. I'm all better now. But we think that Jacqueline's dead in the sea," she assured.He hugged her. "It's alright. Your safety is all I hope for."It broke her heart to see how time had chipped away at his physique. It hadn't actually been that long since the family was in trouble.

Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this. Growing up in a slum where all kinds of people lived… People like them had never really owned anything anyway, so they wouldn't feel the pain of loss…Ever since his wife passed away, Wendell didn't really care much about Alexander's upbringing. Wendell was merely generous when it came to spending money on Alexander. But once he reunited with his son, he realized how much it could hurt to be a parent. If that marriage arrangement was Wayne's wish, Wendell was hell-bent on making it happen.…Olivia was watching the sunset painting colors to the horizon by the seashore.

Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior. It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family. If it were any ordinary woman, Wendell wouldn't have minded it. But the person he insisted on marrying was none other than Olivia! She was a divorced woman with four kids!On top of that, Olivia's ex-husband was Wendell's nephew! The divorced couple was somewhat entangled with each other too.Ethan and Wayne were both dear to him. What should he do? Wendell was at his wit's end. Ignoring Wendell's dilemma, Wayne handed him a cigarette. But Wendell refused, "I quit it."Wayne lit a cigarette and squatted on the ground. Instead of a ruler of a land, he appeared more like a construction worker. Wendell massaged his forehead at that. How had his son grown

Wendell had been frail all his life. He never imagined that his biological son would have been missing for so many years. What surprised him more was that Wayne had grown up well despite hardships. Still, there seemed to be something off about this son of his.They were father and son who had been separated for years. Now that the truth was revealed, shouldn't they be hugging each other in tears of joy? Why did Wayne show no joy in reuniting with his father but seemed interested in his identity as the son of the Procter family—or more precisely, the marriage arrangement between the Procter family and the Fordham family?""Son, things are a bit complicated right now. We need to take our time to discuss this thoroughly—""Am I not your son?" Wayne's restless temperament was exactly the same as his mother's. There was no chance of dissuading him. There was only one thing in his head. He felt fortunate that he had run a background check on the ties between both families. Otherwise
