Even After Death Chapter 1255
Olivia had slapped Wayne twice in the span of a few days. He sat up and stared at her coldly. "Do you have a death wish, Ophelia?""You're the one looking at places you shouldn't be looking at!""You're the one wearing that dress!"Olivia was furious. She picked up one of his shirts and wore it. She covered herself up completely.Then, she smacked him on the head and said, "Lie down. I'll start the acupuncture treatment. I'll poke you to death if your eyes wander to places they shouldn't!""Why don't you give that a try? I'll kill you first!"The atmosphere became awkward. Neither of them spoke. Wayne suddenly came to his senses. What was he doing? This woman was already married with kids. Why would he be interested in a married woman?Olivia completed the treatment in silence. Wayne sat up with the support of one arm. He turned his neck slowly to make cracking sounds. "I used to have headaches every other day. I haven't had a headache since you started your treatment. You

Olivia spaced out looking at the military uniform. Her mind was filled with thoughts about Ethan. Wayne suddenly appeared behind her. "What? Do you like this type of attire?"Olivia turned around abruptly with shock in her eyes. Wayne lifted her face with his fingers and closed in on her. His masculine pheromones were on full blast."Your face might look plain, but your eyes are quite expressive."The mask couldn't alter her eyes. They were round and radiant; her lashes were thick and long. Her beautiful eyes elevated her plain looks to another level.Olivia felt a little nervous in such close proximity to him. She wanted to shove him away. Her hands touched his bare chest. She could feel his well-defined muscles. Before she could push him away, Wayne suddenly held her waist and pressed her against the wardrobe. "What are you doing?" Olivia snapped as she looked at him angrily. He got a nosebleed from looking at her last night. What was he trying to do this time?Wayne s

Wayne gathered all the military experts for an urgent meeting. The meeting lasted for the entire day. No matter what calculations his think tank ran, there was only one result—defeat. They only had one option. That was to accept the ceasefire agreement and stop their assault on Dexim City. Otherwise, Arlandia and Veutron would join forces and invade Carathia. That was something Wayne didn't want to see. In the next few days, Wayne was so busy he didn't even return to the presidential palace. Olivia started to get anxious after waiting for a few days. The places she could go to were limited. She couldn't even get close to where Wayne worked. So, there was no way she was getting that ring.It was like Wayne had completely forgotten about her. She was left in the presidential palace with the maids taking care of her.Her mission wasn't progressing at all. She didn't want to sit around and wait. When she was climbing down from a pipe on the second floor, someone was alerted by

Olivia stood sternly as she lectured Wayne with an air of seriousness. Yet, deep down, she was plotting to get closer to him. She had not gotten into contact with any core information during these ten days. She knew she had to take the initiative or time would be wasted. "If you're worried about me, you can have someone watch over me," Olivia suggested.Wayne responded with indifference, "There's nothing to worry about. If you wanted to kill me, aiming for my vitals would do. Let's settle on that," he said.He caught the smile on Olivia's lips. "So, you're eager to prepare medicine for me?" he asked."Of course. You're my patient. Healing you will mean you'll let me go sooner."Wayne felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. He had thought Olivia seemed more enthusiastic. However, he realized she was actually anxious to leave."Is it because you miss your man?" Wayne probed after sensing her urgency.Images of Ethan and their separation flashed through Olivia

Wayne snapped his fingers in front of Olivia. "Snap out of it. What's on your mind?"Olivia returned to reality and found an excuse as she looked at Wayne. "I was just marveling at how prestigious your identity is.""You've found out?" Wayne inquired."I heard someone address you as the president. Your free access to Dexim City, your private jet, and this palace—I guessed as much quite some time ago," Olivia confessed. She'd be foolish to pretend any further.Seeing her composed expression, Wayne remarked, "If you know who I am, aren't you afraid of me? Others fear me to death.""I was scared at first. But if you really wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have waited till now. So, I'm not afraid. Besides, didn't you say you'd reward me once I've cured you?" Olivia reasoned.No wonder her attitude toward him had softened. It was all for money.Wayne huffed coldly. "So, you love money that much?""I doubt there's anyone in the world who doesn't like money. Besides, with this money, I

Wayne finally came to his senses but did not let go. His eyes were filled with a cold glint as he asked in a deep voice, "What are you trying to do?"Olivia held the silver needle with a look of grievance and replied, "The needle fell near your hand. I was just picking it up."Wayne released his grip only then. "Sorry, it was a reflex. Are you alright?"The distinct red mark on Olivia's neck hardly looked harmless. He felt even more remorseful. "I never intended to harm you.""I understand. I'll be more careful in the future. You should rest now. I won't disturb you any longer," Olivia said. She put the silver needles back into the acupuncture kit and returned to her room.The moment she closed the door, she was drenched in sweat. She was terrified as she nearly met her end at that man's hands. His vigilance over the ring was evident, but she wasn't out of options. Starting tomorrow, she would start preparing medicine for Wayne. She planned to add a few sleep-inducing herbs at

"What are you looking at!"Olivia fiercely smacked him on the head with a pillow.Wayne quickly averted his gaze. "Sorry, I was groggy from sleep and forgot you were in my arms."He got up as the flush on his face quickly faded. He leaned on the edge of the bed and said, "I slept really well last night.""Get out!" Olivia was furious, wishing to chop his fingers off and take the ring directly.Wayne was distracted all morning, occasionally glancing at his fingers."Mr. Maxwell, is there something on your hand? You've looked at it a hundred times," Alan asked as he was puzzled.Wayne dismissed his unrealistic thoughts and replied, "It's nothing. Go find me some women.""Women? Mr. Maxwell, you've finally come around. A man should settle down and then focus on his career. Look at your age. Getting married and having children is the best thing you can do now.""Who told you I'm getting married? I'm asking you to find women to satisfy my needs.""Huh?"Alan was confused. The man

Alan's expression was cold. "Just don't take it lightly.""I understand."Alan lit a cigarette and gazed at the stars. "Mr. Maxwell has been in a bad mood these days. Comfort him more so that he doesn't have another episode.""Alright."Before he even finished his cigarette, the last woman was sent out. Alan extinguished his cigarette and exchanged a glance with Wayne. "Is it over already?"He had someone escort the women away and then entered the room himself. Wayne's collar was wide open, revealing several noticeable lipstick marks. Yet, his face was as stormy as a cloudy sky. "What kind of trash did you get for me?" he asked.Not only did he feel nothing, but he was also disgusted."Mr. Maxwell, what kind of women do you like? Tell me clearly so that we can find someone suitable for you.""Someone married and with children!"Alan was speechless. "Does she also need to know medical techniques?""That would be best."It was almost as if he was about to name Olivia directl

Warren's pale face showed a hint of pleading. "Olivia, we've gotten to know each other better in the past two years. Have you ever loved me?"Hatred was evident in Olivia's cold eyes. "Never. I pray for your death every single second of my life.""I knew it." He smiled at that embittering answer. Karma had always been there. Another sound of a gunshot surprised the birds. A pool of blood splashed over the flowers. Warren stared at the picture on the gravestone. "Mona, I've returned everything that I owe you…"Olivia's gaze alternated between the two bodies. Her heart ached as she began crying. "It's finally over, Mona. Please rest in peace."She had been waiting for this day to come for too long.

"Avery, what happened?" Olivia inquired.She had no clue what was happening and didn't dare to go anywhere close to Louis. The only person who she got close to was Avery."Stay away, Olivia! It's too dangerous!" Avery yelled worriedly. Louis shifted his gaze to Olivia. "My experiment is going to be successful soon. That's Natalie's descendant. She has Natalie's genes in her…"Olivia's eyes widened as she finally realized why Louis had been taking special care of her. Back then, she simply assumed that it was due to her health and talent, but it turned out that he had known her identity all along!The purpose of the human modification project was to resurrect Natalie! The thought of it gave her goosebumps.To think that he had made so many preparations just to resurrect Natalie…Even Olivia was deceived.

Olivia arrived on the island. She noticed the change in the atmosphere this time around.It was the same old scenery, but the robots that once filled the island to the brim were gone. She expected to encounter some inspection robots upon arrival, but there weren't any.Ships were docking in lines by the seashore, and most of them belonged to private foreigner organizations and mercenaries. People were coming to the island!What happened?Was Louis in danger?Although Louis wished to transform her into a cyborg, she hoped he could live regardless. No matter what field it was, no one would come before an outstanding scientist like him. It would be a huge loss to lose him.Olivia grew worried. "Calm down, Liv. A lot of people came to the island, but I don't think it's a big issue for now," Ethan reminded her.He bet that the ships were loaded with ammunition. Still, the buildings on the island were intact, and nothing seemed to be destroyed. She disagreed, "No, there should

Mason and David had a long discussion by themselves. No one knew what they talked about.But it didn't matter because it was just an extra member joining the Fordham family anyway. That was it.On the other hand, Tatiana was a little worried. If the whole Fordham family were to be added to the family registry, would her children inherit less from the Heath family?Humans were born selfish. When the event actually came to pass, everyone would be thinking about their own benefit. However, the result of the discussion between David and Mason surprised everyone.Even though David wasn't acknowledged as one of the Fordhams, he wasn't planning to change his surname to Heath.He saw himself as a Fordham because his mother married Douglas.Nevertheless, he didn't mind his family being relatives with the Fordham family.Mason was a little disappointed, but he still respected David's decision because he knew how well Douglas treated David's family.Mason asked the Fordham family to sta

Olivia and the others returned to the Fordham family. Everything was going back on track under Avery's management. Sean's leg was recovering well. He could walk like a normal person, and he didn't have to pretend to be a cripple anymore. Troy would need more time to heal, but he was making progress.David clearly seemed better than he was before Olivia left. Everyone could still hardly believe that Jacqueline almost killed everyone in the family all by herself. When Olivia returned, David asked with concern, "Olivia, Avery said that you were cursed. How are you feeling right now?""Don't worry, Dad. I'm all better now. But we think that Jacqueline's dead in the sea," she assured.He hugged her. "It's alright. Your safety is all I hope for."It broke her heart to see how time had chipped away at his physique. It hadn't actually been that long since the family was in trouble.

Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this. Growing up in a slum where all kinds of people lived… People like them had never really owned anything anyway, so they wouldn't feel the pain of loss…Ever since his wife passed away, Wendell didn't really care much about Alexander's upbringing. Wendell was merely generous when it came to spending money on Alexander. But once he reunited with his son, he realized how much it could hurt to be a parent. If that marriage arrangement was Wayne's wish, Wendell was hell-bent on making it happen.…Olivia was watching the sunset painting colors to the horizon by the seashore. Although Jacqueline was dead, Olivia didn't feel happy, not even one bit. So what if the mastermind was dead? The Fordham family was still in disarray, and no one knew where Shana was.Olivia sighed softly. "You're too young to be sighing like that." Wayne suddenly appeared next

Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior. It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family. If it were any ordinary woman, Wendell wouldn't have minded it. But the person he insisted on marrying was none other than Olivia! She was a divorced woman with four kids!On top of that, Olivia's ex-husband was Wendell's nephew! The divorced couple was somewhat entangled with each other too.Ethan and Wayne were both dear to him. What should he do? Wendell was at his wit's end. Ignoring Wendell's dilemma, Wayne handed him a cigarette. But Wendell refused, "I quit it."Wayne lit a cigarette and squatted on the ground. Instead of a ruler of a land, he appeared more like a construction worker. Wendell massaged his forehead at that. How had his son grown

Wendell had been frail all his life. He never imagined that his biological son would have been missing for so many years. What surprised him more was that Wayne had grown up well despite hardships. Still, there seemed to be something off about this son of his.They were father and son who had been separated for years. Now that the truth was revealed, shouldn't they be hugging each other in tears of joy? Why did Wayne show no joy in reuniting with his father but seemed interested in his identity as the son of the Procter family—or more precisely, the marriage arrangement between the Procter family and the Fordham family?""Son, things are a bit complicated right now. We need to take our time to discuss this thoroughly—""Am I not your son?" Wayne's restless temperament was exactly the same as his mother's. There was no chance of dissuading him. There was only one thing in his head. He felt fortunate that he had run a background check on the ties between both families. Otherwise
