Even After Death Chapter 189
It was Olivia's first time in a place like this. The room was freezing. The cold seeped in from the bottom and spread through her body. It also felt like countless eyes were looking at her from behind. It took all her energy to remain standing in the room. "Don't be afraid," Jack said softly. Olivia's hands were covered in cold sweat. She said in a low tone, "We want to say our goodbyes.""Okay, but don't take too long. I'll be waiting outside."The employee left. A gust of wind came out of nowhere. It scared Olivia so much that she jumped into Jack's arms. Jack held her waist and sighed lightly. "You're not suited for a place like this. Wait for me outside. I'll be out in a while.""But …"Jack's expression was stern. "I've seen a lot of dead people, all sorts of corpses."Olivia wasn't willing to leave, no matter what he said. Jack said sheepishly, "Alright, you keep your eyes closed. I'll describe to you what I see.""Okay." Olivia agreed to his suggestion. S

Olivia had seen the bodies of old deceased people in the family. But those were different compared to this gruesome body. Even though she didn't get a clear look at Belle's face, it was enough to make her gag. Jack patted her on the back to help her breathe. "Are you okay?""I'm sorry," Olivia said apologetically. "I can understand. People don't normally see dead bodies, much less decomposed ones.""Why aren't you afraid?""I got used to seeing them." Jack's voice was calm. There was a distant look in his eyes. "And living humans are more horrifying than the dead ones." Olivia didn't know what he had been through. He only looked a few years older than her, but he was shrouded in mystery. She knew that he had to have been through a lot of suffering to become like that. Maybe she wasn't the only one that was suffering in the world. Olivia pushed down the fear in her heart and turned on the flashlight. "I'll shine the light for you. Take a look quickly.""Okay. Close y

Olivia was surprised. She didn't expect Ethan to come to fetch her. Although she had entrusted everything to Jack, she was still nervous when she got in the car. She felt like Ethan would be able to see through her right away. After they got in the car, Ethan asked something he had never asked before. "Did you have fun?""It was okay. It was a little scary. Tom was so scared he sobbed."Her expression was calm even though her words were cheery. Ethan calmly withdrew his gaze from her face. He had thought that she would become her old cheerful self if he allowed her to spend time with the boy. Their relationship wasn't the only thing that couldn't go back to the way it was. The same applied to Olivia herself. In the past, when they were sitting together, she would hold his hands and keep talking. It was like her mouth didn't need rest at all.Unlike now, she sat properly. Her fingers were holding onto the armrest. Her eyes were looking out the window. She only spoke u

Olivia asked without hesitation, "Are you not coming back tonight?" Ethan could sense a hint of joy in her serious expression. He was taken aback. Did she feel happy that he threatened not to come home? Olivia did feel a little happy about that. In the few nights that she had slept with him, there were a few times he almost lost control. No matter what he felt toward her, all she wanted was to stay as far away from him as possible. Ethan grabbed her chin and rubbed her lips with his thumb. "You don't want me to come home?"Olivia thought about how annoying she used to be. She said with a serious expression, "You're Marina's fiancé now, and your engagement party is approaching. "You must not fight with her because of me. And if rumors spread about us, it would also impact the Miller Group's stock price."Olivia tapped his hand and assured him, "Don't worry. I will not pester you like I used to. I promise to let you experience a peaceful night."Olivia thought that Ethan

After a few rounds of alcohol on the dinner table, Chris slammed his glass hard on the table. He was a soldier who survived the battlefields. He had an intimidating presence and was exuding coldness. Chris, who was usually reserved, said coldly, "If you don't want to have dinner with us, just get out." Chloe quickly held his hand. She tried to de-escalate the situation with a smile, "Are you listening to yourself? Ethan has finally come to visit."Why are you giving him this attitude? Do you think you're talking to one of your fresh recruits in the army?" She then looked at Ethan with a smile. "Ethan, please don't blame him for that. He is used to being in the army. "He still thinks of himself as a soldier even though he's been out of the army for so long." Marina also chipped in, "Dad, please understand that Ethan is usually very busy. He might have work that he has to deal with."In the past, Chris was happy about Ethan. But he started to feel uncomfortable when he foun

Chris and Otto's unrelenting barrage of words gave Ethan no chance for rebuttals. Moreover, his marriage with Marina was practically set in stone. Marina knew that Ethan's feelings for Olivia were complicated recently. She grasped her sleeve tightly. She was afraid that Ethan would go back on his word. Ethan raised his glass and said calmly, "Okay."Marina sighed in relief. A smile reappeared on her face. "Gramps, dad. I told you that Ethan would not let me down." Otto looked at Ethan deeply and said, "It better stay that way." Chris also added, "Olivia is Chloe's daughter. She can be considered part of the Carlton family. We'll take good care of her if you don't. I'll take care of things on her end. I don't want to see you contacting her starting tomorrow." Ethan's fingers tightened around his glass. His eyes darkened. But he didn't say anything. He originally thought he was only telling Olivia that he wouldn't go home because he was angry. He didn't expect it to come

Olivia thought that she no longer cared. But at this moment she realized she couldn't cut Ethan out of her life completely. She wasn't able to let go of the love she had for so many years in a couple of months. She hugged her legs and rested her head on her knees. Her head was filled with the image of Ethan and Marina sharing a bed. It pained her to think about that. She did not sleep for the entire night. She stayed up until the owl left. She looked at the cold and empty bed beside her, and she gave herself a self-deprecating smile.Her phone on the nightstand rang. She quickly accepted the call. Chloe's voice came from the other end. She kept insisting that Olivia go over to the Carltons'. She said that she had made Olivia's favorite breakfast and that Chris wanted to meet Olivia. Olivia hung up emotionlessly. But her body got out of the bed subconsciously. She hadn't eaten breakfast made by her mother in many years. Chloe, in her memories, was a kind and lovin

Olivia had known that the marriage between Ethan and Marina was set in stone. But knowing and seeing were two entirely different things. She stared at Ethan, who walked out of the bedroom. Their eyes met. A hint of surprise appeared in Ethan's eyes. He opened his mouth like he wanted to explain something. But nothing came out in the end. Chloe said, "Ethan, did you sleep well last night? If you're not used to the bed, I can get someone to make custom bedding for you two. "After all, you'll be sleeping here regularly after you get married. Treat this like your own home. You can let me know if you need anything." Marina also started to play her part as a loving daughter. She said with a smile, "Thanks for being so considerate, mom. It was true that we didn't sleep well last night." A trace of shyness flickered across her face. It was clear that she was implying something else. Olivia finally understood why she was invited over. It wasn't that Chloe missed her. She i

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.

"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.

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.

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
