Even After Death Novel Chapter 1600 – David gazed at the young lady.Her eyes were red from all the crying, and her voice was trembling.She used to be the child he loved so much.
“Dad, I’m so glad that you’re fine.You don’t know how worried I was these days!” Jacqueline cried next to the bed only to receive zero response.
She felt weird. “Dad…” Tory suppressed the surging hatred in him. “Jacqueline, Dad is still feeling weak.” That was the calmest possible voice he could make.
“Get a good rest, Dad.Don’t worry about anything and focus on your recovery.You’ve got to look after the house,” she comforted. “Okay,” responded David succinctly.
The protruding veins on the back of his hand went unnoticed by her. He was gripping the bedsheet vehemently. It took everything in him to rein himself back from killing her.
The sheer thought of her past deeds stirred a storm of emotions in him. All he could do was close his eyes and repeat to himself not to give the game away.
He had to tolerate it for Olivia’s plan. In fact, the Fordhams had been pampering Jacqueline so much all these years. She gained so much from them, and her personal assets were abundant.
Yet, she was reluctant to give up when she already owned so much wealth, which any ordinary person couldn’t dream of having even with centuries of hard work.
“Avery, I have something to speak to you,” said Jacqueline. “I have something to tell you as well.” They left the room together. Sitting on the couch in the living room, Avery wore a serious expression.
“Avery, a lot of things happened to our family while you were away.” He nodded. “I heard it from Sean.Our relatives are bearing ill intentions toward us.”
“Yes.Grandpa played favoritism when he was still around, and they’ve been holding grudges against us over it fora long time.Now that Grandpa has passed away, they’re going to pounce on us.” She sighed.
“Unfortunately, Dad is seriously injured as well.We need you to take control of the situation.Avery, I’m afraid that someone might take this chance to cause trouble to our business.”
Although Douglas practiced favoritism a lot, David’s mother raised him well. David had never thought of inheriting the family business. David’s assets were exactly Jacqueline’s target.
“You’re right.I’m worried too, but it’s difficult for me to handle so many things at once when something like this has happened to our family.I’m already sick.”
She grabbed his hand immediately. “Avery, I can help.I’ve been working hard these years just to help you guys.” “You’re going to get married.Will you even have the time to handle it?”
“My relationship with Alexander is stable, Avery.We can put off the marriage for the moment.Our family is more important.I can take over Dad’s job temporarily to appease the employees.”
Finally, she revealed her true colors. He nodded. “You have a point, but my permission isn’t the problem here.Our relatives have been eyeing us for a long time.They’ll never miss this chance.”
“Those people? What does it have to do with them? I thought the company belonged to Dad.” “Jacqueline, there’s something that you don’t know.Dad used the money from Grandpa when he first built up the company.
Grandpa owned 20% of the shares.There’s no way for us to retrieve the shares.” “What do you mean?”
