Unfortunately, no one knew how much David sacrificed for the Evans family.
When David was in hot water, Henley intended to make things difficult for Avery and tried to steal David’s position instead of helping them! Similar to Henley, Linus was David’s half-brother, but he was different.
Linus hadn’t even lived under the same roof as David before.
Linus only found out about David’s existence not long ago.
Yet, he was willing to travel so far just to support David! Oh, the irony! Henley, whom David did everything in his power to protect, gave him the coup de grace in the end.
David never expected his true family to show up.
The warmth of gratitude blossomed in him.
The silent Jacqueline was flustered as well, unsure if Madison’s identity had already been revealed or not.
Things were getting out of her control.
Feeling overwhelmed, David didn’t know what to say.
Avery said, ‘It must’ve been tiring to travel this far, Mr.
Heath.
Come, take a seat.
I hope you don’t mind giving us some time to take care of our family matter.” Linus gave him an appraising look.
“I think you should call me ‘ Uncle’ instead of that.” That alone brought them closer.
Avery addressed Linus accordingly, “Uncle Linus.” Sean and Troy followed suit, making Linus break into a gentle smile.
“You have an aunt as well.
I’ll introduce her to you guys someday.” The better Linus treated David’s family, the more dreadful it was to Henley’s family.
It was as if they weren’t part of the family.
This was supposed to be the Evanss’ family matter; outsiders weren’t supposed to join in.
However, Linus was another case simply due to his identity.
The bodyguards he brought along were robust and fierce-looking.
The murderous intent was overflowing from them.
Just one look at them was enough to tell that they had been through special training.
Each one of them could easily go against a hundred people.
No one dared to drive Linus away.
“Don’t mind me.
Go on.” Linus took a chair for himself.
His expression was rigid, putting pressure on others.
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.
Madison 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 Evans 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 Evans 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.
During that turmoil, having a safe place to stay was something to be grateful for.
Having nice clothes to wear and delicious food to eat was a luxury.
Not only did Douglas provide the materials David and his mother needed, but Douglas also spent his time cultivating David.
Douglas perceived David as one of the family.
The fact that Douglas raised David gave him enough reason to protect the Evans family.
When David found out how much Henley disliked him, he was worried that his true identity might bring the family and his mother trouble if it was exposed.
While looking after the Evans family, he built up his own business, intending to separate his assets from the Evans family.
He did his everything to fulfill his duty as a son and the elder brother.
Yet, Henley just wouldn’t show mercy.
Honestly, David was disappointed.
At the same time, Henley couldn’t read the emotions in David’s eyes.
They were so complicated and deep.
Henley couldn’t read through David’s emotions and was quite worried.
Graham nudged him.
“Don’t forget how much we sacrificed for today, Dad.How could you give up at this moment? Linus has nothing to do with our family.He’s from the Heath family.Grandpa’s dead, and there’s no one Uncle David can depend on.So what if it’s the Heath family? This is our family matter!”
When Graham pointed out that there was no one David could depend on, David felt bitter.
In the end, he failed to protect anything.
He had also let Douglas down.
Anything could happen in life.
David was just a mere human.
Perfection had always been out of the question.
He could never satisfy all sides.
David quietly waited until Henley made up his mind.
“David, I still want to retrieve whatever that’s rightfully mine.Mom and Dad aren’t with us anymore.How could you still stay in Evans Group so shamelessly?”
David shook his head, sighing.
“You disappoint me, Henley Evans.Fine, have it your way.I hope you don’t regret it.”
Henley gulped upon hearing that.
He glanced at his scarce supporters.
He had planned this for so many years for this day to come.
How could he give up right now? “IT won’t,” said Henley.
“Alright, let’s begin.” The shareholders’ meeting started.
Jacqueline wasn’t in the state of mind to think about Madison’s matter.
Now that she had bet her everything in the game, she couldn’t lose! There had been a huge change in the distribution of shares lately, so everyone wasn’t confident about their win.
All Henley’s family took over was the 20% share from Douglas.
The assets weren’t properly distributed due to his sudden passing.
Henley had been raking his brain to prove that David wasn’t Douglas’ biological son so that David would lose his inheritance right.
David clapped his hands to call the lawyer in.
The lawyer was holding a sealed document.
To Henley’s surprise, it contained Douglas’ will, including a share transfer contract.
The family assets and properties were distributed clearly! According to the document, the 20% share belonged to David.
Henley shook his head vigorously.
‘”T-That’s impossible! Dad passed away due to aheart attack! He didn’t leave anything before his death! This will must be fake!” David appeared calm.
“This is the will Dad wrote half a year ago.
If you don’t believe it, you can ask your lawyer to verify it.
Aside from the documents, we have his video, voice messages, and signature as proof.” Not buying that, Henley gave his lawyer a look The leading lawyer came over to verify the will.
The lawyer frowned.
“It’s real, Mr.
Henley.
This is the will Mr.
Douglas wrote when he was still around.” Henley’s shoulders drooped.
He was Douglas’ biological son! Why didn’t Douglas bestow anything to him? Henley didn’t know anything about the will either! At the same time, Douglas gave his patience and love to an outsider! Since the 20% share was transferred to David, there was no point in continuing the battle.
Henley lost.
