Chapter 498
Jeff's thoughts drifted back to a few years ago. He was satisfied with Ethan as a son-in-law, but he got angry when Ethan said he wasn't planning to have a wedding. Olivia was his only daughter. He didn't want to hand her over without being promised a grand event. But Olivia begged Jeff repeatedly for his blessing. She told him that Ethan was the best man she had ever seen and that he would never make her sad. She also said she didn't need a ceremony as long as they loved each other. Jeff knew he missed his chance at love, but he wanted Olivia to be happy, so he relented. He didn't expect his daughter to end up without a rightful status. No one even knew that Olivia was Ethan's wife. It was so absurd. And now that Ethan was marrying another woman, he was announcing it to the world. Jeff felt bad for Olivia. She gave Ethan everything she had, but she ended up with nothing. She even lost function in one of her hands. Ethan claimed to have put them in the manor so they could rec
Chapter 499
Mona recounted what had happened in the morning. "Now that I think about it, Mr. Fordham looked like he was pretending to be calm. I thought I saw him tearing something before I walked up to him."Mona began to pour out the contents of the trash bin without caring if she got dirty. The bright red invitation was very eye-catching. "What is that?"Mona frantically reassembled the invitation and said, "This is bad. Mr. Fordham has seen the invitation. That's right, he also borrowed by phone before he told me he'd be going back into the house. Would he already be at the hotel?"Olivia's face paled as she asked, "When did this happen?""30 minutes ago." "This is a disaster. Get the car ready. I have to stop Dad."For more than two years, Jeff was cut off from the outside world. He was completely unaware of what had happened. If he were to learn about Chloe's death and Ethan's betrayal, given his current situation, he would surely be unable to accept these facts.Olivia tried to

Jeff walked around the venue a few times but didn't see Ethan. Not only that, he didn't see Chris or Chloe either. He knew that Marina was Chris' only child. He wondered why the parents weren't present for her wedding. He did see Otto, who looked older and depressed. Jeff felt tired after walking around the venue a few times. He wanted to find a spot to rest when he heard a woman taking near him. "Marina, do you think Olivia will come?"The mention of Olivia's name attracted Jeff's attention. He looked toward the people who were talking and saw Marina sitting in her wheelchair in a wedding dress. She looked exactly like the woman on the poster outside the hotel. Jeff realized that she was the woman Ethan was going to marry. He was surprised to see her in a wheelchair. Jeff had thought of plenty of names to call the woman who stole his daughter's husband. But his anger subsided a little when he saw that Marina was crippled. He began to think that there might be more to the stor
Chapter 501
Jeff's mind went blank when he heard that Chloe was dead. He felt like he couldn't breathe, and the blood in his veins froze. Face pale, his body was trembling uncontrollably. He grabbed Marina's hand emotionally and asked, "How did your mother die?"Marina hated it when people brought up Chloe's death before her. She was the one that caused Chloe's death, and she didn't want to face that fact. "What does it have to do with you? Which hole did you crawl out of, you peasant? Get away before I call for security." Marina looked at Jeff's expression that was mixed with shock, pain, and disbelief. She wondered if he was an old friend of Chloe's. When she thought of that, her disdain for him eased a little. "Never mind. It's my wedding today. Since you're already here, you should stay for a drink." Calista glanced at Jeff and said, "Now, scram. I can tell you don't belong here from your attire. Don't dirty Marina's dress." Jeff was still wallowing in the pain of Chloe's passin

Calista's words were the straw that broke the camel's back. Jeff was trembling, feeling like someone had pushed him from behind. He felt the blood rushing to his head, and a wave of dizziness overtook him as he staggered to remain on his feet.Calista was frightened. "Hey, what's wrong with you? Stop pretending to be sick. It still won't change anything. Where's security? Get this man out of here."Marina glared at Calista. Before she could say anything, Ethan had rushed over. He supported Jeff and said, "Dad, how are you feeling? Brent, bring Dad to the hospital now."Jeff turned to look at Ethan. His eyes turned red from anger when he saw Ethan in his wedding suit. In his anger, Jeff couldn't even utter a complete sentence. "Y-You caused the F-Fordham family to go bankrupt?"He never imagined that the son-in-law he approved of would be the one who ruined his family. Even though what happened back then was fishy, he never suspected Ethan. He just thought it was a business part

Olivia's mind went blank when she saw Jeff falling unconscious. She cried out in shock and fainted. "Liv!"Ethan carried her in his arms while Brent carried Jeff on his back. They quickly left the scene. Marina was also in a daze from what had happened. She didn't understand how things came to this. As she watched Ethan leaving with Olivia in his arms, she screamed, "Ethan, the ceremony is about to begin!" She was in a hurry to get to Ethan, but her legs couldn't support her weight. She fell to the floor as soon as she tried to stand. The fancy dress she had on could not conceal the sorry state she was in, nor could it stop the words of the people looking at her. Calista finally realized that she had made a colossal mess. She quickly went to Marina and tried to help her up."Are you okay, Marina?"Marina slapped her hard. "Bitch! Look at what you've done!"Calista knew what she said to Ethan had been inappropriate. She frantically tried to explain, "I'm sorry, Marina. I

"Dad, you can't leave me. I'll be all alone if you leave me. I'll be bullied, like I was when I was young.""My poor daughter." Olivia tried her best to convince Jeff. "Dad, you still haven't seen my children. How can you leave now? I don't want to suffer through life alone. My children are already without a father, so don't let them be without a grandfather too."Jeff's expression changed a little. He looked at Olivia gently and said, "Liv, you're the one thing in the world I can't bear to leave behind." Olivia grabbed his hand and said, "So you have to stay. My children need their grandpa. Dad, I know you're tired. But please stay, for me and my children. If you leave me, I'll have no one else in this world." Jeff didn't respond. It was like he was deep in thought. Tears rolled down Olivia's eyes as she kneeled before Jeff. "I've already lost my mother. I can't lose you too, Dad. Don't you love me anymore? Please don't go, okay?"Sighing, Jeff said, "Alright, I won't leave
Chapter 505
Ethan listened to Olivia's demands. He went to prepare some food for her in a hurry. Olivia's stomach pain subsided after she drank warm water and ate some food.Ethan saw that she felt better and asked, "Is your stomach troubling you? We should arrange for a check-up. You're not even three months pregnant yet. Don't take it out on the babies even if you hate me. Olivia ignored him, but Marina, who had just arrived, heard what he said. "What did you two do behind my back?" Marina shrieked, her voice echoing in the corridor. Olivia was already tired. She frowned in annoyance at Marina's voice. "This is a hospital. Be quiet." "Bitch, how dare you seduce my husband? I'll kill you."Marina was livid. She wanted to visit Jeff but didn't expect to hear such mind-blowing news as soon as she arrived. She hastily tried to get up but stumbled back down. Ethan saw her losing her balance and helped her steady herself so that she wouldn't fall. Marina took the chance to fall into Etha
