Even After Death Chapter 249
It wasn't that Olivia couldn't dodge it. Instead, Chloe was simply too fast. Olivia also didn't expect her to do that in public.Olivia was stunned by the slap.In her memories, Chloe was a distant person who had always been cold to Olivia.No matter what, Chloe had received lessons on manners since she was young. How could she hit Olivia in public?Olivia covered her face, taking a deep breath to suppress the rage in her heart."Mrs. Carlton, I think you owe me an explanation.""If I had known you would turn out as shameless as this, Olivia, I wouldn't have given birth to you. I'm very disappointed in you!"Chloe's slap had ruined Olivia's good mood for the past two days.Olivia's colleagues looked on curiously. Olivia couldn't handle the embarrassment."If you have something to say, let's talk outside."Chloe swept her hand away. "What's the matter? Are you scared that I'll expose what you did? I have no idea how your father raised you. I can't believe you've resorted to su

Olivia couldn't understand what Chloe was thinking. She didn't know why Chloe abandoned her and went overseas back then.She had been gone for many years. Now that she had come back, shouldn't she make it up to her poor daughter?If Chloe ruined Olivia's reputation, it would have a bad effect on her reputation as a mother too. What was she trying to do?Chloe was stunned for a moment. Then, she became even fiercer. "Olivia, I told you to be a blameless person. Aren't you scared of the consequences when you do these things?"Blood was oozing out of Olivia's clenched fists. "Why should I be scared? She's the one who should be scared …"Before she could finish speaking, a calm man's voice rang out. "Mrs. Carlton, the CEO wishes to see you two."News of this incident had already reached the CEO's office. Brent, who was standing respectfully at the side, led the two away.Olivia lowered her head, staring at Chloe's back. The sight wasn't much different from what she remembered. She

Ethan's words struck a chord in Olivia's heart. He knew the expectations Olivia had of her mother.Chloe was the person Olivia had longed for, after all. But when Chloe came back, this was how she treated Olivia. Ethan knew how sad Olivia must have felt.But Chloe didn't.She didn't like Jeff, so she treated his daughter coldly as well.Marina wasn't quite respectful to her, especially when Chris wasn't around. Marina had plotted against Chloe many times.Human nature could be terrible. People would usually show their gentlest sides to outsiders, but they treated their closest relatives with anger and hatred.Over the years, it had become a habit of Chloe's to try and please Marina.Likewise, she ignored Olivia out of habit. She didn't care about Olivia and even abandoned her without consideration.Ethan's words didn't make her reflect on her actions. She said stubbornly to him, "I only know that you're getting engaged to Marina today. Your relationship with Liv belongs to the

Olivia looked up. A strong body had appeared before her. Ethan was grabbing Chloe's hand.If he had been respectful of Chloe before, he wasn't now. He didn't bother to hide the coldness in his eyes. "Aren't you going too far, Ms. Parker?"Chloe had always lived in a pampered environment. Ethan's grip was hurting her wrist so much that she frowned. "Ethan, I'm helping you here. What are you doing?""Helping me?" Ethan sneered, but he didn't let go. Instead, he tightened his grip.He said, "I don't like anyone meddling in my affairs, understand?"Chloe was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded repeatedly. "Yes, I get it now. Just let go of me.""Ms. Parker, look properly at the person in front of you. She's your real daughter!" With that, Ethan pushed her hand away.Two trails of tears appeared on Chloe's face. It was all because of Ethan.She looked at Olivia with an even fiercer expression. She transferred the pain Ethan caused her onto Olivia."Look, it

When Chloe heard that, her expression softened considerably. "I knew it. This woman was indeed pestering you. You hear that, Liv? Now gather your things and go home with me."Chloe reached out to grab Olivia's hand. "I was a little worked up just now, so don't take my words to heart. I'm doing this for your good."Since you're already divorced, you should completely cut ties with him. Clinging on will only hurt everyone …"Olivia pushed her hand away. "You're right, you should completely cut ties after a divorce. When your ex-husband is about to die on the sick bed, you don't have to visit him—not even once."Chloe froze. When she thought about it, she truly hadn't taken the initiative to visit Jeff since her return."Are you blaming me? When I came back, your dad was in the ICU, so outsiders weren't allowed to visit."Olivia found her explanation pathetic. "Ms. Parker, I'm seriously doubting your sincerity. When the Parker family was almost going bankrupt, Dad was the one who sa

Olivia walked toward the elevator with her cardboard box in hand. An imposing woman walked toward her. The woman was the leader of Team B.The woman crossed her arms as a look of disdain appeared on her face."What did I say? The position you get from sleeping around won't last."People showed their ugliest sides to those they had never talked to before. With just a few words, they could show the greatest malice toward strangers.Clara was one such person. Olivia achieved something she couldn't. So, she tried to harm Olivia on several occasions.Olivia was mad at the moment. Straightening herself, she retorted, "Did you forget to brush your teeth before leaving the house today? It stinks.""What did you say?" Clara's sleek eyebrows creased as the look in her eyes turned sharp.Olivia met her gaze coldly. "Of all the skills you could pick up, you decided to have a sharp and nasty tongue. Do I even know you? Why do you keep insulting me?"Can you hear me this time? If not, I'll g

Olivia and Dr. Scott confirmed the time. The surgery would be held on that Friday.Holding an umbrella, Olivia watched the rain as she dialed Everly's number.Everly sounded exhausted. As soon as the call went through, she started complaining. "Goodness, I've been staying up for two nights in a row. What's wrong with the new boss? What a workaholic."Covering her mouth, Olivia chuckled. "I remember you telling me how handsome he was just a few days ago.""So what if he is? He's not my boyfriend, anyway. I shouldn't have switched jobs. It wasn't too bad to laze around in my previous company."After Everly broke up, Josh went to her previous company every day to beg for forgiveness. In her fury, Everly resigned from her job.She didn't want to work for people anymore. Declining Ethan's offer, she went to work at an outstanding real estate company.As a result, she cursed her boss every day for being nitpicky. He was extremely harsh toward his employees."By the way, Eve, are yo

Colin didn't look like he noticed the disappointment in Olivia's eyes. He reached out to her. "I was passing by when I spotted you, Olivia. Did you get lost, or did you sprain your ankle?"Declining his offer to help, Olivia got up on her own. Then, she smiled helplessly. "I was just thinking about something. I stopped here without realizing it.""My house is nearby. If you don't mind, Olivia, you can go visit Snowball. Snowball misses you."Because of this reason, Olivia couldn't bring herself to decline.The warm interior of the car formed a stark contrast to the cold outside. Colin passed to Olivia an untouched cup of coffee."I was thinking of drinking it when I got home. Here, it'll warm you up."Olivia looked down. It was spiced coffee."Thank you.""No need for thanks." Smiling, Colin turned the steering wheel with one hand.Olivia felt that something was off. She had the feeling that the spiced coffee was bought specially for her, and he didn't run into her by accident
