Sean did what Troy wanted to do the most. "I'm at fault too. I haven't done my part in the past few years. I even dragged you guys down.""Enough!"Olivia slammed her palm on the table, attracting their attention."This isn't the time to be owning up to your mistakes. The more you do this, the happier Brandon will be. Mr. Fordham Senior's plane has exploded, and we can't be sure if he's really dead for now. Don't jump to conclusions."Olivia held her head high. She never thought that a day would come when she would play such a crucial role in the Fordham family."Of course, you have to be prepared for the worst. If Mr. Fordham Senior has truly passed away, as his sons, you should keep the family safe. Don't hurt your family and do what your enemies would love to see."Our utmost priority is to locate Madam Fordham as soon as possible. Her eyes have to be treated urgently. If not, even if she's found later on, her eyes won't be able to recover anymore."Next, Mr. Fordham Senior h

Olivia was puzzled by the newcomer. He was a stranger to her, but he seemed to be quite close to Jacqueline.Avery had probably noticed the confusion in Olivia's eyes. He explained, "This is the son of the Procter family, Alexander Procter. He's also Jacqueline's fiancé. They were betrothed even before birth."The Procter family?Olivia suddenly felt like it was quite a small world. She felt like she was going back to where she started.Ethan's mother, Janice, was part of the Procter family. Back then, she cut off ties with her family for Kenneth's sake.Olivia didn't expect Jacqueline's fiancé to be from the Procter family.When Alexander heard their conversation, he looked at Olivia as well. "This is…"Wiping away her tears, Jacqueline made the introductions. "This is Dr. Fordham, the person I told you about. She has exceptional medical skills, and she's also Sean's sweetheart."Holding Alexander's hand and pulling him with her, Jacqueline walked toward Olivia. "Dr. Fordham,

Avery agreed, "You're right, Jacqueline. But now's not the time.""Why not?""Our parents aren't his only target. We're involved in many accidents, except you. He surely won't let you get away from this. Bring the bodyguards along whenever you're out. Check your car before driving. And stop all your participation in public events."Jacqueline frowned. "Avery, as long as it's to protect our family, I'm not afraid. Our family holds a long tradition. Dad had sacrificed a lot too. I don't want to see his effort go down the drain. "Now, I'm the only person fit to manage the company. I'm just afraid that things might go south if this takes up too much time.""I know you have good intentions, but things aren't doing great lately. You're our only hope. I won't let you take the risk. Besides, Dad must've prepared something to buy us time before he passed on. Just stay at home for a few days and don't go anywhere." He patted her shoulder. "Take care of yourself. I don't want to lose you

Jacqueline nodded. "I won't let you down, Avery. Take care.""Okay." Avery slowly rose to his feet. "I need to handle Dad's funeral now. I'll be counting on you, Jacqueline.""Okay, don't worry about it."Before he left, he reminded her, "Oh, Jacqueline. Dr. Fordham isn't an outsider. You can tell her anything. She can help you out.""Got it." All meek and demure she was when Avery was around.However, the moment he left, her expression changed.She slammed the door shut, unable to control her rage. "That bitch! Who is she to manage the household with me?"Alexander held her hand. "There, there. We're halfway through our plan. The Fordham family is reaching its demise. They're on the chopping block. They won't be able to turn the tables anymore.""Jeez! It was supposed to be a good opportunity to take over the Fordham family.""Avery's doing this because he's worried about you. He doesn't want to drag you into the fray. Don't be angry. We've already bided our time for years. T

Sean's eyes widened when Olivia said that. "You're saying that there's a mole in our family.""Think about it. Garrett's autopsy report is out. He died only in recent years. In other words, Brandon only used his identity for years, but the tragedies happening in the Fordham family aren't something new. "You guys have been suffering for at least more than ten years. Do you think he could have had everything his way without a mole?"Sean finally got the whole picture. "Thank god you reminded me.""It's not your fault. Way too many things have happened to the Fordham family. It's normal for you to lose your reasoning. Outsiders always see the picture clearer than the people involved. Anyway, the other party spent more than ten years—or maybe longer than that—to set this up. Doing it all alone is impossible.""Does that mean Avery is in more danger?" Sean frowned, feeling concerned. Shana's kidnapping wasn't the end of it; it could be the start of something."No, I can't let anyth

Jacqueline heard the commotion and rushed to the room. "Sean, what's going on?"Olivia kept a safe distance from Sean. "Ms. Jacqueline, stay away from him. He's not mentally stable. He might hurt you.""Why is he acting this way?""Ms. Jacqueline, I received news of Mr. Fordham Senior a while ago. I can't contact Mr. Avery because he's on the plane, and Mr. Troy has just finished his surgery. Mr. Sean is the only person who can make the final call in the family, s-so I told him.""Did something happen to Grandpa?" Jacqueline was shocked."He found out what's going on within the family and had a heart attack… He passed away on the spot.""Nonsense! He's fine! I'm going to rip off that mouth of yours!" Sean grabbed a slipper nearby and hurled it at Morgan. Alarmed, Morgan pulled Jacqueline away. "This is bad! Mr. Sean has lost his mind!""Leave us for a moment. I'll look after him. This bombshell is too much of a shock for him. Let him calm down.""No, this is too dangerous, Dr

Jacqueline threw herself to the edge of the bed, her features distorted in sorrow. "Grandpa, why didn't you hold on a while longer? I could've been able to see you for the one last time.""Don't be sad, Ms. Jacqueline. No one had foreseen this to happen. Everything happened so suddenly. He was so angry and had a heart attack…"Sean fought back his tears. "Terry, we made sure no word got out. How did he find out about it? Who called him?""I looked into the contact number. It's a fake number from another country. Forget about the dialer's identity—we couldn't even track down his IP address. The other party came fully prepared."Terry's hands were tightly clenched into fists. The murderous intent in his eyes was glaring sharp. "Once I find out who the dialer is, I'll show him what hell feels like!"His temperament had grown mild after years, completely different from 40 years ago when his way of doing things was infamously scary.He lived by the streets as a beggar when he was a ki

Olivia didn't see what she was getting herself into when she came to treat Sean's legs at first.The Fordham family was in turmoil for real this time.Someone pinched her fingertips. She looked down to see Willow squeezing her fingertips to comfort her."Don't worry, I'm fine."David was an influential figure in Zelotria, so his funeral was packed with people.It had been almost a day and the visitors coming to offer their condolences hadn't stopped.Olivia followed by Sean's side. Due to her average looks, people simply thought that she was his maid.Many big shots attended the funeral too, but she didn't expect to see Ethan and Janice here.He was dressed in a black suit, and his tie was black too. Standing next to him was Janice, who wore a cocktail hat with beads.Their appearance drew all attention. "Isn't that the incompetent daughter of the Procter family? I heard that she insisted on marrying Mr. Miller instead of her childhood friend. In the end, her husband didn't

Ethan placed a flower and remained quiet next to Janice.The Procters noticed her and were, in fact, more surprised than Olivia to see her here.Enna, Janice's mother, had mixed feelings seeing her daughter here.Enna walked over, her body shaking. "What are you doing here, you ungrateful one?"Janice raised her head and took in Enna's haggard face. Her chest tightened.She didn't spend her time right all these years. Now, she finally realized how foolish she was for not being a filial daughter."Mom," she called."Don't call me that. As I said that year, I'll pretend that I don't have a daughter like you.""Enough, Mom. Now that she's here, I bet she knows that she was at fault. It's been years. Are you still angry at her?" Derrick Procter tried to calm Enna down.Ryder Procter attempted to shift the topic. "This must be Ethan. I never had the chance to meet you since you're mostly working in Arlandia. I'm your uncle."Derrick and Ryder were Janice's brothers.The funeral b

A moment ago, Olivia felt that Derrick and Ryder looked familiar for some reason.When Wendell finally showed up, she knew why.Wayne resembled Wendell a lot. He looked somehow similar to Derrick and Ryder too."What's the matter?""How many children does Mr. Wendell have?""One. That's Alexander, who's engaged with Jacqueline. You saw him yesterday.""I see…"Many people looked similar, just like Olivia and Jacqueline, even though they weren't blood-related.Olivia overthought it because Wayne was consigned to a slum in Carathia when he was young. He didn't know who his parents were."I just think that Mr. Alexander doesn't look like Mr. Wendell. He takes after his mother more.""Maybe. I can't remember her face because she has passed on for many years. Mr. Wendell is a devoted man. He didn't marry anyone else all these years."Olivia nodded and kept quiet, observing the scene.She understood Ethan more than anyone else. He should be very happy to be able to meet the Proct
