Putting their status as scions of the Fordham family aside, the two brothers were still leaders in their fields.
Looking at each other, one was crippled and stuck in the past while the other had been haunted by his kidney disease for years.
Both of them were tormented by their circumstances.
Avery hugged Sean. "It's all my fault. None of you would've been dragged into this mess if I had realized something was wrong sooner."
Everyone thought it was just an accident when Quinn went missing. None of them thought one of their own was responsible.
"Avery, who do you think it could be? Troy, Vox, or Jacqueline?"
"They're our closest family, our kin. I don't think they would be the ones. I've focused my attention on looking into our cousins, nephews, and other relatives.
"They have a more plausible motive. If something happens to us, they'll have a chance to inherit our family's fortune!"
"Then, did you find anything?"
"I have some leads, but I can't risk alerting the enemy yet. Don't worry. I'll never let the people who hurt our family off the hook."
"Avery, if Troy and the others aren't suspects, won't they be in danger? Shouldn't we warn them? Especially Jacqueline, who's about to be engaged. I really hope nothing happens to her."
"We should warn them, but…"
Avery was unwilling to believe that the culprit was among them, but he never found any definitive proof. That was why he didn't want to alert anyone unnecessarily.
"You don't know for sure, do you, Avery?"
Avery sighed. "Yeah. The culprit is very meticulous. The slightest bit of movement might cause suspicion. That's why I've gone into hiding for the past six months.
"It's better if fewer people know about this. I'm afraid that the culprit might be alerted if we warn them. It would ruin our plans."
"Don't worry, Mr. Fordham. I already have a plan. I'll be able to capture Ginger soon."
