Chapter 1267
Erica stared at the portrait. Memories of her childhood flashed through her mind.
It was Caleb who taught her to be strong and independent, trained her in fighting skills, and showed her how to
protect herself. He had also shared wisdom about life and survival.
She remembered one twhen he took her to the greenhouse. Surrounded by roses, he said, "Loving someone
is like tending to flowers. Only with care and dedication can they bloom beautifully."
He taught her how to plant flowers and cherish them. Back then, she was just a budding girl. 20 years later, she
was the president of the Mathis Group. She had bloomed like a dazzling rose, just as Caleb had predicted.
"Caleb, rest in peace," she muttered, tightening her grip on Randy's hand.
At the Potter Mansion, Barton glanced at Andrew, who was staring out the window.
"Sir, the guests have all arrived at the funeral. Aren't you going?"
"No. Someone else will represent me."
"You mean..."
"Jordan should've returned by now."
The weather outside shifted suddenly. The once-clear skies darkened as heavy clouds rolled in over Seamar
City. A few faint rumbles of thunder echoed, and the rain began to fall.

At the funeral, the guests had already bid their final farewells to Caleb.
Just then, a figure wearing a white flower pinned to his chest appeared at the entrance of the hall.
"Am | late?" he said.
Everyone turned toward the door and saw Jordan standing there.
His once-red hair was now dyed back to black. Compared to the last tthey had seen him, he looked
completely different. His skin had a healthy tan, and his hair was cut into a clean buzz.
The wild, flamboyant boy was gone. In his place stood a mature man.
For a moment, Debra didn't recognize him.
"Jordan? You're back," Erica said, surprised.
Andrew had sent him to join the army. His return was unexpected.
Debra asked, "Did you finish your mission?"
Jordan nodded. "Yes, it's done."
Randy asked Marion, "Shouldn't you have known about Jordan's return?"
Marion shrugged. "He's not one of my men."
Randy thought for a moment and nodded. "Makes sense. Caleb had quite a few subordinates. We don't know
which one he joined."
Jordan glanced at the white flower in his hand. "Looks like I'm late. Has he been buried?"
Randy nodded. "Yep. Any later, we'd be sitting down to eat."
Jordan was puzzled. "Eat?"
"Yeah," Randy replied. "We can't send
