Even After Death Chapter 159
Olivia knew that she wouldn't be able to escape this time. So, she stopped being wary like she used to. Looking Ethan in the eye, she spoke in a sterner tone."I hate how arrogant and inconsistent you are. You're the one who didn't want me anymore, but you're also the one who refuses to let me go now."You said that my father owes you for your sister's life. Now, the Fordhams have gone bankrupt, and my father is constantly in critical condition. I've also sacrificed my marriage and my child."Is this still not enough for you? If so, then just take my life as well."When she said that, she noticed Ethan's gaze turning colder. In reality, Olivia felt quite nervous. Her heart pounded along with her worked-up emotions.She continued, "When you're in a good mood, you give me one billion dollars and allow me to leave. When you're in a bad mood, you turn around and start looking for me again."Ethan, I'm human, not some toy in your hand. Do you know why I'd rather stay on a remote islan

Jack knew about crazy people like Ethan. If he showed too much concern about Olivia, he would only be putting her in danger.Soon, the door to the room opened. Jack watched as Ethan dragged Olivia out with him. Olivia looked so fragile, but Ethan didn't seem to pity her one bit.Jack subconsciously tried to move forward. Brent reminded him in a cold voice, "Don't move."Jack looked at Olivia in worry. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything.A gun had appeared in Ethan's hand. He looked high and mighty as if he were some god that controlled others' lives at will."Watch closely, Liv. He died because of you."Olivia was terrified. She didn't know what she could do now to stop Ethan's frenzy.The more she begged, the more it would stoke Ethan's murderous intent. But even if she didn't beg him, he would still do it."What should I do? What on earth can I do?" she thought.At that moment, a clear voice rang out. "Go to hell, you criminal!"It was Tom's voice. He had been hidi

Shaking her head, Olivia continued to beg. "Ethan, I—"With one hand carrying the child, Ethan wiped her tears with his other hand. "Liv, with every plea you make, I'll add one more hole to his body. Do you want to test me?"Olivia instantly shut up. This perverse man was capable of anything at all.She could only let her tears fall in silence. Ethan whispered, "The more tears you shed for his sake, the more he will bleed later."Olivia felt like a heavy boulder was weighing upon her heart. There were thousands of words she wanted to say, but at that moment, she couldn't make a sound.She could only shake her head continuously. Reaching out, Ethan rubbed her eyes. "Be a good girl and look away. We can return to our normal lives after this."Tom, who was being held down, started shouting. Popping out of nowhere, Jerry spoke up as well, "If you want to kill someone, kill me. Don't hurt Jack."He just wants to improve the islanders' quality of life. He's a good man. Even when we to

Everyone tensed up. It was just a noise Ethan made with his mouth, but the youth was already frowning deeply.Ethan let go of the gun, a look of approval coloring his eyes. "Not bad. You're quite the man. Still, no one can replace his life."Ethan walked toward Jack. Just then, Jack swiftly took out his gun and aimed it at Ethan's forehead."Don't move!" Guns were pointed at Jack from all sides. The man had been waiting for a chance to make his move."If my lowly life can be exchanged for Mr. Miller's, then it doesn't seem like a bad deal." A rare smile appeared under Jack's mask.He looked at Olivia with an earnest look that seemed to say, "From today onward, you'll be free."Jack knew very well that as soon as he fired the gun, bullets from all sides would come at him as well. He had nowhere to run.Olivia was stunned. No one could've expected this turn of events.She had known Jack for only two weeks. She couldn't allow him to die for her."No, don't shoot!" Olivia ran towa

When Olivia passed by Tom and Jerry, they looked at her with heavy hearts.She smiled at them in an attempt to comfort them.Jack didn't say anything. He watched her board the helicopter silently because he knew that now wasn't the time.In order not to cause trouble to the people on the island, Ethan mustn't die here. However, once he was away from the island …A malicious glint fleeted across Jack's eyes when Ethan happened to look back at him as if he sensed the danger.They met each other's eyes. The two strong men stared at each other for a second.Both of them were aware that today wasn't the end.Olivia wasn't able to bid farewell before leaving the island.She looked at the huge cherry blossom tree and the small wooden house.Martha was standing in front of her house, sending her off. The kids and the neighbors were watching her too.Olivia didn't realize when Jack left. With his back facing her, he advanced deeper into the woods like a lone wolf."Goodbye, everyo

Olivia widened her eyes.For the past few days, she had been guessing how Ethan would torture her.But …Never in her wildest dream had she imagined it to end up this way.Like a dehydrated man in the desert who finally found water, he carefully savored her lips as if he was afraid of losing them.Her heart raced.Although the sunlight was shining on his face, his eyes were shut. She couldn't read his mind.It had been a long time since Olivia received such gentle treatment from him.While she was in a daze, Ethan suddenly bit her lip.The tingling pain pulled her senses back. He asked coldly, "Are you thinking of him again?"Unbeknownst to him, he was all she could think of. She wasn't in the state of mind to think about others.She replied with a deadpan face, "No. How many times do I have to tell you? We're just friends."He scoffed coldly.Obviously, he was seeing her as his wife who cheated on him. He wouldn't believe anything she said.Not only that, he was gettin

Ethan stopped in his tracks and looked at Olivia silently.There was only the sound of water splashing from the shower.As tense as the air was, the grasp around his wrist was tight."Don't go," she lied because that was the only thing she could say.Ethan pinched her chin and commented indifferently, "You're still pleading for him."Olivia felt like she was talking to a wall. No matter what she said, there was only one thing that mattered to him—that she had betrayed and cheated on him."You're the one who betrayed me!" she thought.Frustration was gnawing at her, but she sighed when she thought about Tom and Jerry.Standing up in the bathtub, she hugged Ethan without giving a care about her wet body.The water droplets slowly damped his white shirt, but he didn't push her away.She wrapped her arms around him carefully. The moment her lips pecked his neck, his body became tense."Ethan, I didn't betray you." Her quivering voice was soft. It was teeming with sorrow and grie

Considering that it had been days since Olivia left, Calvin should've found something for her."Olivia, are you alright?" he asked with concern.After the incident on the ship, he had been worried about her. He called her a few times but it was all in vain."Sorry for making you worried. I lost contact for a few days to deal with something. I'm fine now."He was relieved to hear that. "That's great. I did find something. Can we talk in person?"Olivia sighed as she was still undergoing punishment from Ethan because of Jack.If she went to meet Calvin in person, she had no idea what Ethan would do to her.She said, "Calvin, honestly, I'm afraid of alerting the other party. I suspect that there's someone keeping an eye on me. Did you carry out your investigation discreetly?"He nodded. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Mr. Galloway resigned two days after Belle's death.""She resigned? What about that man?" Olivia's brows were knitted together.It was no wonder that she sens

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. When the revenge was finally over, she felt hollow on the inside. …Yarrows reached their peak of beauty during the season, dancing along the wind.

Warren was so blinded by love that he didn't realize that Olivia had spent the last two years setting this up.The moment he saw Olivia nestling in Ethan's arms, he knew that his identity had been exposed since the beginning.It was time to end all of this.Although the Fordham family had won the fight, they sustained heavy casualties. Brandon and Deborah, together with Jacqueline, had hurt and killed countless people. Quinn became a sacrifice, never waking up again despite her young age. Olivia placed a bouquet before Quinn's gravestone. "Rest in peace, Quinn. I'll take good care of the family.

"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
Even After Death Chapter 1666
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
