Avery heard the gunshot. It was clear that this had something to do with Leia. Bryce was anxious. "Mr. Avery, the Fordham family is currently in chaos. If something were to happen to you, what would happen to your brothers? Madam Fordham is missing, and Mr. David is injured. Imagine what the rest of your family will be facing if you're not here to take charge of the situation." Gritting his teeth, Avery turned around. "Let's go!" Leia had created this opportunity for them at the cost of her own life. But no matter what had happened to Leia, he couldn't afford to stay back. He told himself to walk ahead and not look back. Above all else, rescuing David was what he should do.Before the sky turned bright, Avery brought David back to his own place. He told nobody apart from Olivia about this incident. The moment Olivia heard that both Avery and David had returned home safely, she was relieved. Before she hung up, she asked, "Avery, what happened to Leia?" Avery was stunned

Olivia turned around and glanced at Ethan. Ethan smiled at her. "I have to sort out something. I'll be back soon." Since Olivia was in a hurry to see her father, she wasn't bothered by it. She quickly followed Avery into the room. Troy and Sean were already by David's side. When Olivia entered the room, their eyes were red and watery. They were grateful to have survived the ordeal, but perhaps they regretted whatever they did in the past too. They would've been able to avoid all those sufferings if they had found out about the truth sooner. Olivia's heart was beating rapidly. She finally saw David. He looked younger than how he seemed to be in the photos or videos back then, but much weaker as well. His face was as pale as a sheet. He was the father whom she had been looking for all these years. But when Olivia saw her father at this moment, she was dumbfounded as she stood rooted to the spot. Ever since she knew that Jeff was not her actual father, Olivia had imagined ho

Olivia's voice was trembling. "Dad, I'm just happy I got to see you guys again when I'm still alive." "Olivia, I didn't think that Jacqueline would be so evil. Not only did she repeatedly try to get you killed, but she even destroyed our family!" "Olivia, you don't blame me for having prejudices against you a while ago, do you?" "Even though I didn't know your true identity, I had never blamed you for anything." The scene of the family union was touching enough. Only Leia had a look of shock and disbelief on her face. "How could this be? No way. She lied to me. How could she have lied to me?" Leia's beliefs were instantly shattered. She could no longer hold her composure. Seeing that they were still on their knees, Avery asked them to get up. "Ms. Miller, are you alright?" Leia swatted his hand away as she dropped her knees in front of Olivia. She said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. It's all my fault." She was someone who wasn't scared of death. She didn't even flinch wh

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

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
