Putting their status as scions of the Fordham family aside, the two brothers were still leaders in their fields.
Looking at each other, one was crippled and stuck in the past while the other had been haunted by his kidney disease for years.
Both of them were tormented by their circumstances.
Avery hugged Sean.
"It's all my fault.
None of you would've been dragged into this mess if I had realized something was wrong sooner." Everyone thought it was just an accident when Quinn went missing.
None of them thought one of their own was responsible.
"Avery, who do you think it could be? Troy, Vox, or Jacqueline?" "They're our closest family, our kin.
I don't think they would be the ones.
I've focused my attention on looking into our cousins, nephews, and other relatives.
"They have a more plausible motive.
If something happens to us, they'll have a chance to inherit our family's fortune!" "Then, did you find anything?" "T have sleads, but I can't risk alerting the enemy yet.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDon't worry.
I'll never let the people who hurt our family off the hook" "Avery, if Troy and the others aren't suspects, won't they be in danger? Shouldn't we warn them? Especially Jacqueline, who's about to be engaged.
I really hope nothing happens to her." "We should warn them, but..." Avery was unwilling to believe that the culprit was among them, but he never found any definitive proof.
That was why he didn't want to alert anyone unnecessarily.
"You don't know for sure, do you, Avery?" Avery sighed.
"Yeah.
The culprit is very meticulous.
The slightest bit of movement might cause suspicion.
That's why I've gone into hiding for the past six months.
"It's better if fewer people know about this.
I'm afraid that the culprit might be alerted if we warn them.
It would ruin our plans." "Don't worry, Mr. Fordham.
I already have a plan.
I'll be able to capture Ginger soon." Olivia walked toward the Fordham brothers from a distance.
This was the first tSean had ever seen her real face.
He was stunned.
"Your...
Your face..." "I'm sorry, Mr. Sean.
I used a made-up identity to approach you because I had to keep myself hidden.
This is my real face." Sean muttered, "You do look like Jacqueline." "Back then, I decided to help because you look like my sister and we share the slast name.
If I wasn't sure that my mother only gave birth to us, I'd think you were one of us." 2 Avery added, "I found it hard to believe that two people who looked so alike existed." Olivia scratched her head.
"I was stunned when I saw Ms.
Jacqueline too.
We do look alike." "Maybe it was fate.
I helped you because of your looks, and you helpedtoo.
And now, you're helping Sean.

"Back then, I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw you.
If you don't mind, Olivia, the Fordham family would love to adopt you after this incident is over." 1 Olivia waved her hands frantically.
"There's no need for that.
I'm unworthy..." "You don't have to be so humble, Olivia.
You've helped our family a lot.
I'll introduce you to the family when the tcomes.
I'm sure they'll like you a lot.
"Even Troy, who's usually very dense, sung praises of you and Willow multiple times.
I've heard about what happened to your family.
You don't have any more relatives in Aldenvine, right? "If you don't mind, we can be your family from now on." Avery had been on this island for the past six months.
He did not know about her relationship with the Heaths yet.
He thought Olivia was all alone after Jeff's passing.
Olivia could not refuse anymore, so she agreed, "Okay." She had wanted siblings for the longest time.
"My dear sister, Olivia," Sean said.
