Even After Death

Henley gulped upon hearing that.

He glanced at his scarce supporters.

He had planned this for so many years for this day to come.

How could he give up right now? "IT won't," said Henley.

"Alright, let's begin." The shareholders’ meeting started.

Jacqueline wasn't in the state of mind to think about Olivia's matter.

Now that she had bet her everything in the game, she couldn't lose! There had been a huge change in the distribution of shares lately, so everyone wasn't confident about their win.

All Henley's family took over was the 20% share from Douglas.

The assets weren't properly distributed due to his sudden passing.

Henley had been raking his brain to prove that David wasn't Douglas' biological son so that David would lose his inheritance right.

David clapped his hands to call the lawyer in.

The lawyer was holding a sealed document.

To Henley's surprise, it contained Douglas’ will, including a share transfer contract.

The family assets and properties were distributed clearly! According to the document, the 20% share belonged to David.

Henley shook his head vigorously.

'"T-That's impossible! Dad passed away due to aheart attack! He didn't leave anything before his death! This will must be fake!" David appeared calm.

"This is the will Dad wrote half a year ago.

If you don't believe it, you can ask your lawyer to verify it. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Aside from the documents, we have his video, voice messages, and signature as proof." Not buying that, Henley gave his lawyer a look The leading lawyer came over to verify the will.

The lawyer frowned.

"It's real, Mr.

Henley.

This is the will Mr.

Douglas wrote when he was still around." Henley's shoulders drooped.

He was Douglas' biological son! Why didn't Douglas bestow anything to him? Henley didn't know anything about the will either! At the same time, Douglas gave his patience and love to an outsider! Since the 20% share was transferred to David, there was no point in continuing the battle.

Henley lost.

Despite winning, Jacqueline didn't feel happy at all.

David could've won without her shares.

Why did Avery tell her those things? Something felt off.

Linus' appearance gave her more reason to be anxious.

David indifferently said, "Okay, we now know what's going to happen to Fordham Group.

Now, let's talk about our family matter.

Outsiders, please step out of the room." David was obviously intending to settle the score.

Other shareholders had no reason to join the fray.

They hurriedly left the scene.

Bryce was the last person to leave.

He even closed the door considerately.

"Dad, you must have a lot to say to Uncle Henley.

I shall step away for amoment," Jacqueline excused herself.

As soon as she finished, she felt someone staring at her from the opposite.

Linus' eyes fixated on her, his gaze so cold that it could seemingly penetrate through her.

"It's alright.

You're one of the family.

You can stay," responded David gently yet imperatively.

"Okay." She grew anxious.

She felt that Linus kept looking at her.

Was she overthinking? Henley slammed the table.

"You've won.

Are you going to show off too?" "Relax.

I've asked someone to call Emery and Sawyer over.

Some things are best said when everyone in the family is around."
