Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller

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 alot 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." "T 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 again." "Don't worry, Avery.

I won't let anyone hurt her," Alexander spoke up.
Humming as an acknowledgment, Avery turned to look at him.
" Alexander, we found someone that has something to do with this.
Is Brandon Procter your family?" Alexander wondered for a moment before saying, "Do you mean my grandfather's illegitimate
son? I heard something from Dad in the passing.
My grandfather had an illegitimate son before the eldest son.
He had the child with a bar girl.
"It was disgraceful.
Neither the bar girl nor the illegitimate son was acknowledged by our family.
Forget about us, my dad isn't in contact with the illegitimate son either." He continued with a shift in his tone, "If he has done
something sinful, we won't stand still and do nothing even if my grandfather is bedridden!" "He's the mastermind who planned
everything behind the scenes —playing with the Fordham family, hurting my younger brothers, and killing my mother.
I bet he has something to do with my father’s plane crash too.
If you can track him down and save my mother, I'll be very thankful." "Don't be such a stranger.
Both our families have been friends for a long time.
Jacqueline and I have been engaged since we were young.
We're a family.
I have no idea where that person is, but I'll ask my family.
It's just that..." Alexander sighed.
"As far as I know, he's a genius—an extreme genius at that.
He sees us as enemies.

He cut ties with us years ago, so I think it'll be difficult to track him down.
But I'll do my best." "Thank you.
I have to go to High Sea to settle Dad's matter," said Avery tiredly.
"Get some rest when you can," Jacqueline reminded him.
"Your two brothers are injured, so you're the only one I can count on, Jacqueline.
Take care of the household." A sigh escaped from him.
"Don't worry, Avery.
I'll look after it well.
Be careful.
Dad's gone and Mom's missing.
I'm afraid that you might be next." "It's dangerous, but there's nothing else that we can do.
I have to take care of Dad's funeral." He suddenly tumbled, but fortunately, Bryce managed to catch him.
"Look at you, Avery.
Don't go.
Just leave it to me," Jacqueline offered with concern.
Avery stroked her head.
"You're all grown up, huh? But how can I expose you to danger? If...
If something happens to me, please take care of the family for me."
