GoodReadThe Fordhams were stunned.
How could this be? Douglas favored David so much!
"Why didn't Grandpa leave anything for you? How could you agree to this? This has to be fake!"
David explained indifferently, "He wanted to, but | rejected. 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 a signed 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 200 thousand dollars he first invested.
"Take it as a token of appreciation for looking after my family."
The check served as a reality check to Henley.
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 have accepted that check if he were still alive. Accepting it would indicate that David would cut ties with the

David smiled faintly. "I don't mean anything. I've always seen you guys as my younger brothers, but whatever | do, | can't seem to
make everyone happy. This happened just to have my family driven out of the company.
"Well, | figured that | might as well leave for the sake of your family's peace. Other than distributing the assets, there's another
reason why | gathered all of you here. | 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 cback to his senses.
Henley blurted out, "What did you say? You wantto apologize to him?"
Henley had always been a prideful man. If he apologized, that meant admitting whatever he had worked for all these years was
wrong!
"I didn't do anything wrong. Why must | apologize?"
Emery and Sawyer wanted to persuade Henley further, but David raised his hand, stopping them.

"David, you've been handling the business well. Why are you giving it to us?"
David smiled. "I did all I could, but | never gained what | wanted. | should leave it to you guys. Plus, I'm not young anymore. |
should do the things | should do now."
