Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1562

Olivia was puzzled by the newcomer. He was a stranger to her, but he seemed to be quite close to Jacqueline.

Avery had probably noticed the confusion in Olivia's eyes. He explained, "This is the son of the Procter family, Alexander Procter. He's also Jacqueline's fiancé. They were betrothed even before birth."

The Procter family?

Olivia suddenly felt like it was quite a small world. She felt like she was going back to where she started.

Ethan's mother, Janice, was part of the Procter family. Back then, she cut off ties with her family for Kenneth's sake.

Olivia didn't expect Jacqueline's fiancé to be from the Procter family.

When Alexander heard their conversation, he looked at Olivia as well. "This is…"

Wiping away her tears, Jacqueline made the introductions. "This is Dr. Fordham, the person I told you about. She has exceptional medical skills, and she's also Sean's sweetheart."

Holding Alexander's hand and pulling him with her, Jacqueline walked toward Olivia. "Dr. Fordham, this is my fiancé."

"Hello, Mr. Procter," Olivia greeted differently.

"Hello, Dr. Fordham. I didn't expect such a young woman like you to be a skilled doctor. I'm impressed."

Olivia nodded. She didn't say too much.

Alexander shifted his gaze away from her as well. He looked at Avery in concern. "Mr. Fordham Senior is…"

There was a wary look in Avery's eyes. Jacqueline explained, "Sorry, Avery. I was the one who told him. He happened to call me, and he heard me crying. I couldn't help but…"

Avery closed his eyes. His vision went dark, just like the future of the Fordhams. He couldn't see any light of hope at all.

"All these years, Dad had been managing the various companies under our family on his own. Now that he's suddenly gone, I'm worried that his subordinates might take the chance to cause trouble. They might try to snatch all the shares and take his place. Our family has to be prepared in advance."

"Jacqueline, you're right. Our family is powerful, and lots of trouble will come with that power. Now that Dad is gone, the forces under him have no one to lead them. They'll definitely try some funny business," Troy agreed.

Opening his eyes, Avery looked at Jacqueline. "Well, then, Jacqueline, what do you think we should do?"

Jacqueline said earnestly, "Mom is missing, Dad is gone, Troy and Sean are hurt, and Vox is off the grid. Avery, you have to take charge of things at home, so I'm afraid I'll have to take the trip.

"I've been managing the branch company Dad handed over to me quite decently, so I should be able to take over his work. Moreover, I have Alexander with me. I'm sure he'll be of great help."

Troy nodded. "Avery, I think Jacqueline is right. Now, our family can only count on her."
