Even After Death

David's words sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Among the people present, many of them used to be on his side.

However, they chose a new leader to follow after the news of the plane crash.

Although they didn't know what kind of illness Avery had, his health had been deteriorating as the years went by.

It seemed serious.

Avery's brothers seemed unreliable, so they chose to side with Henley.

Who would've known that David's death was a feign? He even showed up at such a critical moment! Immediately, they began to curry favor with David.

"Mr. David, I'm glad to see you safe and sound.

We've been praying for you, hoping for you too—" David interrupted, Hoping for me to die tragically sounds more like it." The person chuckled wryly.

"How humorous of you, Mr. David." "We've been hoping for you to come back sooner. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Look, the company was in huge trouble while you weren't around.

This way, Mr. David." One of the elderly people changed his mind the moment he saw David.

He was on Henley's side, scolding Avery just a moment ago! Oh, the irony! He also smacked Graham's head.

"This seat isn't for an immature person like you.

Get up! Mr. David should be sitting here." What a perfect enactment of the phrase "Only the strongest can survive." Everyone was aware of how the company came this far.

It was all thanks to David, the founder.

They tried to steal the company while he wasn't around, but he showed up before they could achieve their objective! So meekly, they began to turn their back at Henley to side with David.

Henley's supporters changed their minds the moment David showed up.

The turn of tables caused Henley to go frantic.

The deep respect he had for David since young died hard.

"Henley." David took the main seat.

Judging from his bad complexion, it was obvious that he had yet to recover from his serious injuries.

Yet, that didn't will away the formidable coldness he had.

Languidly, his gaze landed on Henley as he touched his wedding ring.

His acquaintances gulped their saliva in fear at that.

"We're blood-related.

It doesn't matter if I'm Dad's biological son or not.

I'm still your elder brother, am I not?" "Y-Yes," answered Henley cowardly.

His confidence had clearly plummeted.

Graham watched how cautious his father became.

It was as if Henley was David's subordinate! "Dad, why are you so afraid of him? Don't forget that we're Grandpa's true family.

He's just an illegitimate child!" The glint in David's eyes changed at the mention of him being an illegitimate child.

Before David's family countered back, a voice with a considerable weight of solemnity roared, "Who dares to call my elder brother an illegitimate child!" That voice...

Could it be...

Olivia looked at the door in disbelief.

A familiar face showed up at the door! It was Linus! 2 The Heath family was here! 1 No words could adequately express the excitement soaring in her right now.

It pained her to see how others told her father off for being an illegitimate child.

She couldn't even reveal herself right now.

Linus wasn't in his military uniform, but his long years of experience in the wild were evident from the murderous intent lingering around him.

He showed up like a hero to save his people in distress! 2 "H-He's..."" Someone clearly recognized Linus.
