Chapter 1603

Author: Lilting Champ

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?"

You need rest," Olivia cooed.He patted his chest. "Olivia, no matter what happens to our family, I'll never allow you to be with this man again."He glared at Ethan. "What are you looking at? Get out!

It happened such a long time ago.She still loved Ethan, and they had four children together.Near-death experiences and the reunion with her true family taught her how valuable a family was.Instead of wasting time on revenge, she'd rather cherish the present. She cherished what she had right now more than anyone else. It wasn't easy for her to come this far.However, the people around her didn't think the same way. The Fordhams wouldn't be able to forgive Ethan even if he were to kill himself multiple times over.Ethan knelt in the yard the whole night. When Olivia told him to stop, he merely said, "Liv, I want to marry you and give you a grand wedding. The marriage won't be perfect without your parents' blessings.

There was no news as of today.Ethan ended up fainting after kneeling for two days straight, but the Fordhams stood firm with their stance.Sean coldly said, "He should've died there."Troy agreed, "Bad guys tend to live longer than the good guys."David hummed in response.

He even showed up at such a critical moment!Immediately, they began to curry favor with David."Mr. David, I'm glad to see you safe and sound.

Troy would need more time to heal, but he was making progress.David clearly seemed better than he was before Olivia left.

    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.

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.
