Even After Death Chapter 1397
Wayne's request was shocking but not unexpected. After all, the assassination was a major issue. For a person as vengeful as Wayne, it would have been impossible for him to let someone who tried to kill him go. But he did exactly that and didn't even get his people to investigate the incident. The only reason for this irregular reaction had to be because of Olivia's words.The two of them were basically strangers to each other. Mason couldn't think of any reason why Wayne would make such a proposal other than the fact that he liked Olivia. So, when Wayne said what he said, Mason wasn't all that surprised. He replied calmly, "I have a daughter and a granddaughter. Which one of them do you want to marry?"Yale was called over here, but he didn't think he would need to do anything. His resignation hadn't been approved by Mason yet. He didn't care about power as much as before. He was just doing his job.Mason's words got him worked up. He knew that there was something Mason hated

Wayne frowned. He didn't even have experience dating women, and he was trying to get married right away. It was only natural that he didn't know the complications of that. "If you think the conditions I provided weren't enough, feel free to make some requests. I'm willing to lower my bottom line for her."Olivia looked at his confused gaze. She smiled and shook her head. "The Heath family doesn't need to sell out its daughters for profit. A marriage shouldn't be treated as a transaction."Mr. Maxwell, if you have no idea what marriage is about, you should date a woman and find out. Marriage is not fun and games. "If you really want to form an alliance with Arlandia, why don't we set this marriage aside, and focus on the alliance? It would benefit the citizens of both countries."Wayne grunted. "If we're not going to proceed with the marriage, why would I want to do anything to make the people happy? If I'm not getting what I want, no one's going to get what they want."Olivia

Mason didn't talk about business while they were at the dining table. He finally got Wayne to shut up. Ethan felt a sense of danger. He had been rivals with Wayne for many years. He knew how stubborn Wayne could be. He knew Wayne wouldn't give up so easily. He was sure that Wayne had backup plans prepared. As expected, Wayne asked to talk to Mason in private. Mason had no reason to refuse. …Marina's legs started to improve three hours ago following a few days of rest. Although they would still hurt from time to time, it wasn't unbearable for her.

Marina saw a face that looked exactly like Kurt's. Even though she never saw Kurt's body, she knew Ethan wouldn't lie to her about that. Besides, if Kurt was alive, he wouldn't have stayed away from her for so many years. Back then, Kurt was like her lapdog. She never really cared about him. But she hated him after he took her virginity. She only had eyes for Ethan back then. She had the urge to get an abortion. When Kurt knew about that, he pleaded with her not to do it. He promised to take responsibility after his mission. When he left for the mission, Marina had just gotten pregnant. It wasn't the best time to get an abortion.She didn't expect him to die. Some nights, she would think about him. She would think about him when she looked at Erina, too.Seeing that face again, Marina couldn't just leave him to die, no matter who he actually was. She carried Jack into her car with great effort. Then, she drove toward the hiding place she had prepared in advance. She knew

If Kurt hadn't died, at least her daughter would still have a father. Perhaps things wouldn't have turned out like this.The doctor dressed Jack's wounds and exited the room. With an inquisitive look, he asked, "Miss, this man has a lot of scars on his body. Who is he?"Marina gave him a stack of cash. "Don't ask anything you shouldn't. This is your fee."The doctor's eyes lit up at the sight of so much money. He understood that Marina had to be someone important, and he should just take the money and shut up."Understood, miss. His condition is stable. He just needs to rest for a while.""Thanks."Marina called Tim over. "Send the doctor back."She went back to the bedroom. Jack was topless and lying in bed. She could see his bandaged arms while his torso was covered by a blanket. The lighting in the basement was bad, so she hadn't gotten a good look before. She finally had a chance to get a good look at Jack.He almost looked identical to Kurt. Marina couldn't tell the di

Marina looked at Jack's face. He looked exactly like Kurt, but his eyes scared her. "I'm not. I just…""Marina, you're disgusting. You forced Ethan to marry you while you were carrying Kurt's baby. And there's also all the despicable things you did to separate him from his wife."Jack struggled to get up and grabbed Marina's arm. "What are you doing?" Marina asked as she tried to break free."I want to bring you somewhere."Jack forced her into the car. Marina started to think that Jack was out of his mind. She was still on the run."Where are you taking me?"Jack fell silent and didn't speak another word to her. The car sped along the roads in the middle of the night until they arrived at a manor. There was a garden of black roses. The roses stood out in the white blanket of snow. "This is…""Kurt had planned to propose to you here. He wanted to give you and the baby a home. But he didn't get to live to see that day.Marina looked at the roses and thought about the one

Olivia wiped away her tears frantically as she repeated, "I'm so glad you're okay. I'm so glad you're okay."Jack was with her during the hardest times in her life. He knew that she was afraid of death. She had already become traumatized.The reason Jack helped Olivia so much in the beginning was because he found out that she was Ethan's wife. Her family was ruined because of Kurt's dying wish.He was just trying to atone for the pain caused by Kurt and nothing else. Then, they went through a lot of hardships together. Both of them lost all of their loved ones. So, they treated each other as family. That was why he gave up on trying to kill Wayne immediately when he saw that Olivia was also in the car. "Don't cry. You're all grown up. There's no need to act like a child." He didn't want Olivia to worry. So, he contacted her as soon as he was able to.Their intimate interaction caused Ethan to feel a little jealous. But he knew that Olivia wouldn't fall for Jack. If not,

Fabian froze as he came back to his senses. He knew Marina wouldn't do it with him willingly without reason. "Are you crazy? Do you know who she is?"Marina had been stuck in the Carlton residence for quite some time and hadn't heard anything about the outside world. "I don't care who she is. She took everything from me. My parents, my child, my lover, even him…"Even though she had just met Jack, she felt frustrated when she thought about a man who looked like Kurt cozying up to another woman.She had been the center of attention since she was young. But since Olivia showed up, everything she had crumbled away. At the same time, Olivia's life had improved immensely. Ethan was treating her way better than before. As a fellow woman, Marina couldn't help but feel jealous."Shut up. She's not who she was before. You're crazy if you think I would even try to hurt her."Marina was confused.

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.

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 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.

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.
