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

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

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 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 k

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
