Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1613

David waved, motioning for his assistant to pour Linus tea.

David had finally regained his composure from the surprise.

The two brothers were next to each other. They looked so much alike.

Although one was involved in business while the other was in the military, the vibe they gave off was the same.

Olivia couldn't help but inwardly exclaim the wonders of genes. After all, David and Linus didn't share the same mother, and they hadn't lived together at all.

But when they sat together, they gave off the same air to others.

Meanwhile, Henley, who was also David's brother, began to panic the moment David showed up.

Linus' appearance made his stomach churn more. Henley was a bundle of nerves right now.

One could clearly tell how flustered he was. He had lost his cool.

How could David hand over Fordham Group to someone like Henley with peace of mind?

David looked at Henley. "Henley, are you sure you want to compete for the company with me? I'm giving you one more chance. If you give up right now, I can pretend that none of this happened."

Henley would always be David's younger brother. As the elder brother, he felt the responsibility of protecting his younger siblings.

Douglas once said, "David, Henley's foolish and prideful; Emery is uninterested in family business; and Sawyer is blinded by love. You're the only one we can count on in the family. There's more responsibilities for you to take upon in the future."

David's late mother also said, "You're the elder brother. They're your younger siblings. You should be more understanding."

Even if they hadn't said such things, David would've protected the Fordham family because that was what he had promised to himself.

David felt grateful to Douglas, who pulled both David and his mother out of their homeless life.
