Even After Death Chapter 224
The pent-up anger overwhelmed Olivia as she glared at Ethan. "It's not like I'm your only woman. "Why does it have to be me? Marina is just right downstairs. Should I call her over?""It's because you're the only one for me!" he said aloud in his head.However, that answer was buried deep in his heart. He tightened his grasp around her waist, inhaling a deep breath.He said, "Must you put up a fight with me over this kind of matter?"Olivia barely suppressed the urge to tell him how much he disgusted her. She was aware that their relationship was as rigid as ever. Thus, she needed to keep her emotions under control.Confronting him recklessly wouldn't do her good.As an afterthought, she decided to compromise. She lowered her head. "I just … can't get used to it."Taking a step back, as she had expected, never failed to work wonders whenever facing Ethan.He watched her exposed nape. It was as if a kitty was revealing its weakness. It managed to appease his anger a little

Ethan's gaze made Olivia's skin crawl. She coughed lightly. "I saw a janitor in your office yesterday."He thought she was going to say something fluttering, but she mentioned an outsider."Olivia Fordham, are you suspecting that I'm having an affair with a janitor?" Fury seeped into his voice."What are you thinking about? I'm just curious why someone is cleaning your office during office hours. It's an important place."He replied without much thought. "Stephanie lives far from here, so she clocks off early. She cleans my office early at times when I'm working."What's the matter? You don't care about Marina, but now you care about a janitor?""Since when did Miller Group provide such good employee welfare?"Ethan was cutting his steak into pieces as he answered indifferently, "Stephanie is different. She saved my life before. It won't hurt to provide her some perks.""When? How come I didn't know about it?" Olivia put her cutleries down."Are you worried about me?" A smile

Alarmed, Olivia hurriedly explained, "I noticed some loopholes after reading those documents. "That info isn't sufficient enough to prove that my father murdered your sister. There is no evidence or witness. It's just a speculation of my father's motive."Ethan shoved the plates off the table.The warmth on his face gave way to coldness. He seemed to be the man he was from three months ago.Before Olivia could explain her stance further, he stood up and looked at her intimidatingly."Firstly, a DNA test was done on that body. It was my sister. "Secondly, I've done another DNA test between the baby in her womb and your father. They were genetically related."Thirdly, I've looked into what happened to Leia before her death. "Be it her contact history or other records. Jeff was the person she contacted the most."Lastly, the final person she met was Jeff, too. Who else could it be other than him?"If you're demanding a witness, are you going to ask for a medical miracle so th

Olivia returned home with her anger unappeased. She turned on her laptop to check on the trackers.It was the trackers she gifted to the six secretaries.Four of them were currently at the Golden Hall Apartment.

Olivia turned her head to look at the incoming person. It was Clara Foster, the leader of Team B.She seemed angry.Her team members lowered their heads as soon as they saw her. "Ms. Foster."Her cold gaze swept across them. "Have you finished your job? Is the proposal approved?""No.""Well, get back to your work then.""Yes, Ms. Foster." They ran away without looking back.Clara looked at Olivia, smiling mockingly. "There are a lot of ways to get to higher positions, young lady."There's no need to choose the hardest way. "Even if you're able to get high up there with it, you're the one in trouble when someone kicks you off the top."Now that things had gone this far, explanations wouldn't help either. Olivia figured that she might as well accept it. "Thank you for the reminder, Ms. Foster."Something was off. Even if Team C managed to get the deal, why was everyone slandering her?Since she was still a newcomer, no one would tell her, even if there was a rumor circula

Sophia had seen Olivia as a fearless newcomer. She didn't expect Olivia to be a fox that had made early preparations to counter the problem."Olivia, I accidentally sent the photos in the group chat.

She tried to appease Olivia.In fact, Olivia was actually trying to trick Sophia into telling the truth because she believed that this was a plot of that mastermind.Like a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness, the mastermind had been keeping an eye on her actions.Olivia snorted. "Do you think that I lack that credit?""What do you want? It has gotten out of control. It's too late for me to retrieve the photos.""What are the other photos you have?" Compared to this, Olivia was more concerned if Sophia had taken a photo of her and Ethan together.Sophia sighed. "What more could I have? These are the only photos I took. If there were others, I would've shared them as well

Olivia didn't have a video. It was a mere trick to force Sophia into telling the truth.In fact, Sophia's mentality was not that strong enough as she ended up exposing Jackson.With the so-called video in Olivia's hands, Sophia would keep herself under the radar for a while.Furthermore, it was apparent that Jackson was another chess piece of that mastermind.Although Olviia didn't know who the mastermind was, there was one thing she was confident about—she came to the right place.The mastermind should be hiding within Miller Group. He knew her like the back of his hand too.Now, she had a clear direction for her investigation.She needed a detailed plan to lure the mastermind to show himself.…Considering that Team C was able to make a deal with Elijah—the infamous stubborn client—the team members were in a good mood.Just then, an unexpected guest came for a visit.

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!

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.

Troy would need more time to heal, but he was making progress.David clearly seemed better than he was before Olivia left.

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.

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.
