Even After Death Novel (Olivia)
Chapter 1567

Jacqueline threw herself to the edge of the bed, her features distorted in sorrow. "Grandpa, why didn't you hold on a while longer? I could've been able to see you for the one last time." "Don't be sad, Ms. Jacqueline. No one had foreseen this to happen. Everything happened so suddenly. He was so angry and had a heart attack..."

Sean fought back his tears. "Terry, we made sure no word got out. How did he find out about it? Who called him?"

"I looked into the contact number. It's a fake number from another country. Forget about the dialer's identity, we couldn't even track down his IP address. The other party came fully prepared." Terry's hands were tightly clenched into fists. The murderous intent in his eyes was glaring sharp. "Once I find out who the dialer is, I'll show him what hell feels like!"

His temperament had grown mild after years, completely different from 40 years ago when his way of doing things was infamously scary.

He lived by the streets as a beggar when he was a kid, so there was nothing he wouldn't do to live.

David took him in because of his cruelty. Terry's name alone was enough to scare people off. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Imagine seeing his savior pass away in front of him. No one could imagine how painful it was.

"Sean, Avery's not here, so you're the head of the family for now. What should we do with Grandpa's funeral?"

It took everything in Sean to announce his decision, "Arrange a burial. At least... he's in one piece. Terry, prepare for the funeral."

Terry took a moment before responding, "Yes, sir."

Sean stared at David. "Grandpa, your wish is finally granted. You always said that you wanted to keep Grandma company because she's lonely up there. But I didn't expect it to happen this way. I'm sorry for making you leave with regrets."

"We know that you cared for us, but we rarely spent time with you these years. I'm so sorry."

"Grandpa!" Jacqueline cried.

Sean, Troy, and Jacqueline surrounded the bed to bid their final farewell.

Olivia walked up to them and offered solace. "We should dress him up so that he can leave with dignity."

Terry led a team of professional morticians into the room. The others were requested to leave the room for now.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Fordham. Too many things are happening at the same time so suddenly," said Jacqueline.

Olivia sighed. "It's not like we could see it coming. I'm sorry for your loss, Ms. Jacqueline. Your family is counting on you now."

David's sudden death was a bombshell to the business world.

After all, his presence was the pillar of the Fordham family. In addition to the recent accidents within the family, his death basically sent the family into crisis.

Before the day of the funeral, the family's relatives began flying back from all over the world.

The Fordham residence was crowded with people.

Turning his head, Sean asked Jacqueline, "Jacqueline, did you manage to contact Avery? He should be at High Sea in the morning."

She shook her head. "Not yet. I haven't been able to contact him this entire time."

"What about Bryce or the others on the team?"

"No news from them yet. Don't worry, Sean. I'll inform you once I can reach Avery."

The line of luxury cars didn't stop flooding in the yard.

Uneasiness inflated in Sean. "Jacqueline, I'm afraid these people are up to no good."

Although the Fordham family was harmonious, greed was one of human nature.

David's family possessed the majority of wealth and held a higher status. Now that something had happened to them, who wouldn't seize the chance to gain something from this?
