Female NovelThe Fordhams were stunned.
How could this be? Douglas favored David so much! "Why didn't Grandpa leave anything for you? Howcould you agree to this? This has to be fake!" David explained indifferently, "He wanted to, but Irejected.
I've been amassing money myself for the past few years.
I've never thought of getting anything from the family." He remembered something and took over asigned check.
"Oh right, here's one billion dollars.
Take it as Dad's 20% share.
Although it's not tantamount to the market share price right now, it's a few times the fold of the 200thousand dollars he first invested.
"Take it as a token of appreciation for looking after my family." The check served as a reality check toHenley.
Emery and Sawyer quickly rejected it.
"David, we can't take this money.
We know that you've been the one supporting the family.
If Dad were still alive, he wouldn't want it." "He's right.
You're Mom's son, which means you also have the right to inherit part of the assets.
Besides, Dad loved you the most.
Why are you giving his money to us without taking a single penny for yourself?" Douglas wouldn't haveaccepted that check if he were still alive.
Accepting it would indicate that David would cut ties with the Fordham family.
David smiled faintly.
"I don't mean anything.novelbin
I've always seen you guys as my younger brothers, but whatever I do, I can't seem to make everyonehappy.
This happened just to have my family driven out of the company.
"Well, I figured that I might as well leave for the sake of your family's peace.
Other than distributing the assets, there's another reason why I gathered all of you here.
I have to tell you guys something." "David, don't do this.
We've never seen you as an outsider.
You can't leave." "Yes! Henley did cross the line.
Henley, apologize to him.
Hurry!" Things were escalating in the way Henley didn't expect it to be.
He couldn't understand why all of this was happening.
He had yet to recover from the shock.
Emery nudged at him, and he finally came back to his senses.
Henley blurted out, "What did you say? You want me to apologize to him?" Henley had always been aprideful man.
If he apologized, that meant admitting whatever he had worked for all these years was wrong! "I didn'tdo anything wrong.
Why must I apologize?" Emery and Sawyer wanted to persuade Henley further, but David raised hishand, stopping them.
"At this point, you don't have to say anything more.
To him, my existence is mere torture.
I don't want to be the reason for the Fordham family's disharmony.
It'll be a joke in the town.
Let's come clean right now." Henley looked at him worriedly.
"What are you planning to do?" "There will be professional lawyers distributing the assets according tothe details on the will.
Let's cut ties from now on.
Take this one billion dollars in exchange.
"T'll bring along my family and gain our footing ourselves.
We won't take advantage of your family's name for our benefit.
I'll hand over the Fordham family business to you too." "David, you've been handling the business well.
Why are you giving it to us?" David smiled.
"I did all I could, but I never gained what I wanted.
I should leave it to you guys.
Plus, I'm not young anymore.
I should do the things I should do now." Then, he looked at Graham.
"You've won a lot of awards in showbiz.
If you want to prove your worth, please manage Star Records Entertainment well." Graham'sexpression changed.
"D-Do you own it?"
