Chapter 1591
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

Once Ethan managed to get to the bottom of the situation, the rest of it came together like pieces of a puzzle. It all made sense from there. He just wished that Leia would still be alive to hear the truth. …On the other hand, Olivia called Mason. The moment the call was picked up, his powerful voice rang out. "Olivia, it has been such a long time since you last called me. I would've been worried about you if I didn't know that Ethan had followed along." Under her care, it was evident that Mason was recovering better. His voice was strong and vibrant. Olivia was excited to hear her grandfather's voice. "Grandpa, there's something big that I want to tell you. You need to be mentally prepared for this." Mason's tone changed. "Is it a good thing or a bad thing?" "It's good news. I've found my real father!" Olivia heard something fall onto the floor from Mason's end. Mason accidentally broke a cup! "Is that true?" "I should've told you about this earlier, Grandpa. But

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
Chapter 1594
Olivia didn't know about the entanglement between Leia and Avery. Her appearance here took Olivia aback. Although Leia was not dead, Olivia was not disappointed. After all, Leia's identity was different. From Olivia's perspective, Leia would be better off dead. But Ethan would certainly be sad if Leia was dead. That was why Olivia's attitude toward Leia was rather complex now. Leia's appearance added confusion to the messy situation among the Fordham family members. Everyone still hadn't recovered from what Olivia had just said to them. Avery saw Leia at this moment."Ms. Miller, are you alright?" Leia probably got injured and was bandaged up. Avery could smell the faint scent of blood. "I'm okay, Mr. Avery." "Dad, she's the one who saved you. If it weren't for Ms. Miller who helped us out financially, I would've still been helpless to deal with the situation." All of David's attention was still on Olivia. But since Leia saved him, he had to say something in return.

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

Avery waved her down. "It's alright. Just calm down." He looked at Ethan. "Leia is very agitated now. You should bring her somewhere else to get some rest." It was awkward enough for Ethan to stay in this room because of what he had done. It was as if all the men in the Fordham family wished they could kill Ethan right there. The only reason why Ethan was here was to let Leia hear the truth. After all, Leia was extremely stubborn and conservative. She would not believe in anything if she didn't see it with her own eyes. "Mr. David, please rest well. I'll visit you another time." Ethan greeted him politely. To his surprise, David threw a pillow right at him. "Get out!" David was so angry that his face was red. He couldn't contain his anger the moment he thought about how his own daughter was bullied by others when she was living out there all alone. Olivia quickly went over to comfort him, "Dad, you shouldn't get agitated. Your body is still weak." "Is your name Oliv

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
