Even After Death Chapter 238
Soon, the whole department heard of Olivia getting slapped. Considering that Ethan had given her total control of the project, this was unexpected.Any smart person would've noticed that something was off. Everyone knew that Brent had gotten Olivia in.By the looks of it, the force behind Olivia wasn't Brent but Ethan instead.When they realized that, the members of Team C were terrified.It was no wonder that Olivia was so arrogant and never respected anyone. It now made sense for Ethan to request for her specifically to deliver the proposal.The company even issued a warning because of the photo incident.There was an explanation for everything now. The force backing Olivia was the almighty Ethan!It didn't matter if she were Ethan's lover; the most Marina could do was slap Olivia.For a moment, everyone was anxious. None of them dared to snatch any projects away from her. They were scrambling to gain her favor instead.Respectfully, Norma placed the strawberry milkshake Oli

As Brent looked at the micro tracker on the desk, his face turned pale."H-How could this be? What is Mrs. Miller trying to do?"Picking up the tracker, Ethan stuffed it back into the clip. "Give it back to William. Don't tell anyone about this.""Understood, Mr. Miller."Ethan fiddled with his tie clip. Ever since Olivia requested to be his assistant, he had been suspecting her.Judging by Olivia's personality, she would try to get as far away from him as possible. It didn't make sense for her to stay by his side.Unless she was trying to get something from him.Was it money?She could donate 500 million dollars without batting an eye. She obviously didn't lack money.The only other reason would be Jeff.He remembered her hesitant behavior the other day. "Did she figure something out?" he wondered.Noticing that Ethan had stayed silent, Brent couldn't see through Ethan's thoughts either. He asked carefully, "So, about Mrs. Miller …""Don't do anything yet, in case she's al

Olivia sighed in relief. It was just Ethan."What is he doing here instead of going home to spend time with Marina?" she wondered.She said, "What a coincidence, Mr. Miller."Ethan studied her from head to toe with a calm expression. "I'm waiting for you."Olivia had a feeling that there was something off about Ethan. The light from the lighter flame bounced off his face. Half of his face was lit, while the other half was covered in darkness. Olivia thought his face looked like a mix of an angel and a demon."Waiting for me?" Olivia swallowed. She was a little wary of the coldness coming from him.He didn't say anything and started walking instead.Olivia didn't know what he was thinking, so she simply followed behind him. They got into the elevator, which brought them up to the top floor.The wind was howling on the rooftop. It was already spring, but the night breeze was still quite cold. It was as cold as Ethan's figure.Olivia couldn't help but shrink back a little. "Is

Surprisingly, Ethan wasn't mad. Instead, he tossed away the cigarette in his hand.Olivia was about to leave, but he didn't stop her. His voice rang coldly in the air. "Olivia, you'd better not be lying."He stared straight at Olivia, who was leaving. He thought that she would come back, but she didn't even turn around.The wind put out the last bits of ember from the cigarette stub. Olivia was already gone from the rooftop.Ethan looked up at the night sky above him. Heavy clouds covered the sky, so only a few stars could be seen."What exactly is Olivia hiding?" he wondered.He thought of her words that day. If Jeff wasn't the one who killed Leia, then who could it be?"Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller has been gone for a while now." Standing in the dark, Brent looked just like Ethan's shadow.Ethan heaved a long sigh. "Brent, I want to reinvestigate Leia's incident.""Is it for Mrs. Miller's sake?" Brent couldn't understand.The incident was already set in stone, and it was also Et

After getting home, Olivia checked on the trackers again. The one that had gone into the landfill had disappeared from the display. But the others hadn't changed much from before.Jack's phone was still turned off. Olivia sighed.She was getting closer to the truth, but the path ahead was covered in fog. No matter how hard she tried to clear things up, nothing changed.Fortunately, the project was progressing smoothly. Her proposal passed the other company's screening, and they would have a meeting with her soon.Donned in a formal outfit, her palms were sweating a little.Opening the door, she smiled politely. "Hello, I'm Olivia Fordham from Miller Group."A youth in a white suit sat at the table. His features were exquisite, and there was a smile on his face. "We meet again, Olivia."Olivia was stunned. "Colin."She finally realized what this meant. "So you're Mr. Moriarty, the general manager of Peak Group?""Yes. I just took over the business from my father." Colin shrugge

At the mention of Jackson, Norma rolled her eyes. "One word—pervert.""He's a pervert?""Yeah. He'd even give a female fly a second look, not to mention women."Olivia felt even more confused. Could someone like him be the mastermind?"Did he mess with you, Ms. Fordham?" Norma asked, studying Olivia's expression."No, I was just curious."Norma thought quickly, then said, "Thanks to you, we got another partnership in the bag. This means that we've completed the sales mission. He'll be here soon."As she spoke, Norma pointed at a man in a suit and tie, who was standing at a corner. "Look, there he is."Olivia looked in the direction Norma was pointing. Jackson seemed to be around 35 years old. He had a common stature, and his eyes had a cunning shine to them.When their gazes met, Jackson studied Olivia from head to toe."Oh, you're that newcomer, aren't you? The one who bagged a huge project as soon as she joined. You're something." Jackson reached out to pat Olivia on the sh

In the hospital, Jeff was lying on the hospital bed as always. Every day, he survived on nutrient solutions and various equipment.His body had weakened at a noticeable rate. His limbs had begun to shrink.He was like a flower that had lost its vigor and was clinging to the last bits of nutrients in the soil. He was barely hanging on.Olivia hadn't visited him in a while. Every time she saw her father like this, she would feel even worse.Jeff's face was already sunken. Olivia's tears dripped onto the back of his dry hand."Dad …"She wished that a miracle would happen one day, and Jeff would wake up and look at her. She yearned for just a glance from him, and maybe a few words too."Don't be sad, Olivia."Colin patted her gently on the back. Olivia lowered her head, not wanting anyone to see her at her weakest moments.Sobbing, Olivia covered her face. When she looked up again, she saw Colin listening to Jeff's heartbeat with a stethoscope."Colin?"Putting the stethoscope

Colin sent Olivia to her apartment. He had the innocence of a youth, but he also had the gentlemanly air of an older man.He opened the car door for Olivia. Then, he wrapped the scarf he just purchased around Olivia's neck."It's okay, I'm not feeling cold," Olivia said."This is a new scarf. You should keep yourself warm," he explained."Alright. Take care on your way back. Thanks."Colin was still smiling. "The snacks tonight don't count. You still owe me a proper meal, Olivia.""Oh, you." Reaching out, Olivia caressed his head. "You've never changed since you were young."She once promised to give him a present back then. He remembered it and would keep asking her for the present from time to time."Let's meet up sometime.""Sure."Olivia watched as the car drove away. Then, she turned around and got into the elevator.Colin was right. She shouldn't be so pessimistic.She looked at the snacks she was holding. She never thought that Colin still remembered her preferences
