Noah rushed over to the pavilion in the center of Blue Lake.
Ford had called him so he ran over in a frantic panic.
The gauze curtain in the pavilion was slightly raised. The thin sunlight penetrated the thick clouds and sprinkled on the lake, reflecting the sparkling light. The ice coffin in the pavilion could be seen faintly. Beside the coffin, there was a person leaning against it. His eyes were closed, his face was pale and there was a defeated smile faintly taking over his mouth.
Ford stood outside the pavilion, lost in thought.
He knew that Albert was going to kill himself so that he could be with Kristina.
It turned out, he was actually expressing his last will last night.
Even though Ford assumed that he was going to do this, he would never try to stop his boss from doing something in the pursuit of happiness.
Albert lay dead, with the sun rising over his motionless body. A gust of wind blew, carrying the pungent smell of blood through the air.
"Captain." Tom looked worriedly at Noah beside him. Noah had been drained lately. He had deep bags under his eyes and he clearly hadn't shaved in days.
With all that was going on, his appearance was the last thing on his mind
she was going to get the brunt of the abuse.
Now that her brother was gone, Evelyn cried till her eyes swelled up and her tears streamed like waterfalls. She didn't dare make a sound though because Albert wasn't here to protect her anymore.
"Ford, is my brother really gone?" With tears in her red and swollen eyes, Evelyn pulled Ford's hand and pouted helplessly.
She refused to believe that it was true.
Ford and Albert were the same age so Evelyn always thought of him as her brother too. He was the only other person that could make her feel safe.
Ford squatted down, wiped Evelyn's tears with his brawny fingers and said assuredly, "Miss, I promised your brother that I would stay to protect you until you can protect yourself."
Evelyn shook her head, tears streaming down her face. She sniffed and said, "Ford, I don't want any shares or property. I just want my brother back."
Crossing her arms over her chest, Ella said with a faint smile, "Well, since you don't want the shares, transfer them all to me, or to Albert."
"Mr. Wu, you heard that. My daughter doesn't want those shares. Just transfer 30% to me and 30% to Adrian." Ella turned around and smiled maniacally at the lawyer.
