Even After Death Chapter 260
Olivia didn't know how Chris managed to charm Chloe. She thought, "She's already so old, so how can she still be so naive?"She replied, "Why should I bless them? Marina is the reason I ended up like this today. I haven't even made her pay for what she's done to me, but I'm supposed to give her my blessing now? What's the logic behind this?"Chloe said, "I also heard about what happened between you two. Liv, what happened to your child was an accident."Marina also fell into the sea, and she almost ended up like you. But she was fortunate enough to have given birth to the child. You can't blame her."Olivia knew that Marina had been spinning tales in front of Chloe again.No matter what Marina said, Chloe would believe her and reprimand Olivia instead."Mrs. Carlton, your generosity knows no bounds. Have you considered doing charity work?"Chloe said in exasperation, "Liv, I'm sincerely inviting you to attend their engagement ceremony. What's with your attitude? Why are you stil

Olivia had also thought about talking to Ryan these days. She could continue the investigation through his case.But she feared that it might alert the mastermind, so she never took action.She didn't expect Ryan to reach out to her first.Olivia pressed the button to answer the call. "Hello, Ryan.""Ms. Fordham, where are you right now? You asked me to investigate Jodie, remember? I found something!"Ryan's voice sounded anxious, and there was no trace of him faking it.Olivia probed, "What is it?""Jodie's phone! But it's already broken. I remember you being interested, so I'm calling to ask if you want it.""I heard that her original home has been rented to someone else. Her body was found in the ocean. Where did the phone come from? If it's already broken, how can you be sure that it's Jodie's?"Olivia was smart, and she soon found the key point.Ryan thought that she would latch onto the clue without hesitation. He didn't expect her to figure out the flaw so soon.While

They weren't talking in person. But Olivia felt like the atmosphere between them was extremely awkward.Ethan's voice was filled with dissatisfaction. "Is that all you wanted to say?"She had already spoken, so it was too late to take back her words. Calming herself, Olivia said, "Yes. We're not strangers, after all. I feel like I should congratulate you on a day like this."Ethan gritted his teeth. "Thanks."With that, he hung up. Listening to the beeps coming from her phone, Olivia sighed helplessly.He was the one who was getting engaged, but he behaved as if she was forcing him to be engaged. He sounded so reluctant.She wouldn't tell Ethan about this, or it would ruin his engagement ceremony. Not just Marina, but even Chloe would annoy her to no end.Just then, Colin happened to call her. Olivia felt like she had seen the light."Colin.""Good morning, Olivia.""Can you come over and pick me up?" Olivia carefully asked for help."Of course. I'm already on my way. I'll b

Olivia woke up, regaining consciousness. She had a splitting headache. In the elevator, someone had covered her nose and mouth with a drugged handkerchief.The effects of the drug still lingered. Olivia felt weak and sore all over her body.Her eyes were covered with a thick piece of black cloth. She couldn't see any light at all.Her wrists and ankles were tightly bound as well. Tied up firmly, she couldn't move.She was trapped in a narrow space, and she could smell something rotting.She tried to feel around. She soon realized that she was squeezed tightly, and there wasn't much space for her to move around.Soon, she figured out where she was. She was in the trunk of a car.For some reason, she suddenly thought about how Jodie died.Jodie was strangled to death before getting tossed into the ocean. She was only discovered when her body was distorted from all the swelling."Is it my turn now?" Olivia wondered.She must have provoked the mastermind by working at Miller Grou

The cold air dispersed the moldy smell in the trunk. Olivia felt her mind getting a little clearer.She shouted anxiously on purpose, "Who are you? Let me go!"It was true that she was anxious, but she convinced herself to stay calm. Only by staying calm could she spot an opening.Ryan's familiar voice sounded. "Ms. Fordham, you've always wanted to know how Jodie died, right? Why don't I tell you myself?"Olivia felt another piece of rope hanging around her neck. Ryan's voice was no longer the gentlemanly voice he had when they first met.Instead, it sounded like a venomous snake hissing in her ear."She died from getting strangled, just like this. By the way, the expression on her face was just like yours before she died. She kept struggling with her limbs."She wanted to call for help with all her might, but she couldn't even form a complete sentence. She could only look at me in fear and despair. Then, she slowly lost her breath."In the darkness, Olivia's senses were sharpe

The person's voice was deliberately disguised so that it couldn't be distinguished. But when the person tilted Olivia's chin with their fingers, Olivia caught a faint scent of herbs. Olivia had only studied modern medicine, so she had little knowledge of herbal medicine. She wasn't able to tell what kind of herbs she was smelling or even if it was a mixture of several herbs. "Do you plan to kill me?" Olivia asked directly. "Your life is not in my hands." Olivia frowned, confused. She didn't understand what other motive the person would have for bringing her to a place like this. "What do you mean?" Olivia felt more uneasy after she learned that she wouldn't be killed. If they were keeping her alive, it would surely have something to do with Ethan."I'm already divorced from him. I have nothing now. What else do you want from me?" The person's fingers tightened around Olivia's chin. Olivia winced in pain, but she didn't make a sound. "You're a smart woman. I can see why h

Olivia's words seemed to have angered Dr. Galloway. Her emotions changed drastically. "Why would it keep me up at night? I have nothing to be afraid of! She was a lunatic anyway. She would've died a few years ago if not for my care. I only sent her off. Her life was a living hell when she was there." "So you're the one who pushed her off the building?" "So what if I was? It's all your fault. She could've lived if you hadn't gone to the psychiatric hospital. It's your fault for meddling in our business." Olivia suddenly thought that Dr. Galloway should be the one under psychiatric care. Her mental state was clearly problematic. She wondered what had happened between Dr. Galloway and Belle. Why would she have such a huge reaction when Belle was mentioned?"What about Belle's baby? Do you know where the child is now?""What baby? I don't know anything about that." "I had someone examine her body. She had stretch marks on her body. There were also signs of her having given birt

The Carltons were already on the scene. Chloe stood out the most. She wore a cocktail dress paired with a shawl, looking elegant and dignified. She held onto Chris' arm and had a bright smile on her face. It was as if her biological daughter was the one getting engaged. Ethan felt uncomfortable when he looked at her smile. Brent quickly replied to Ethan's question, "Mr. and Mrs. Carlton came ahead of time. They're here to mingle with the guests. Something went wrong with Ms. Carlton's dress, so the people worked overtime last night to get it fixed. "Ms. Carlton went to get her makeup done and tried the dress on early this morning. She should be here soon."Ethan knew Marina well. It was the engagement party that she had wanted so badly. She wouldn't be late if she could help it. She would want to come as soon as possible and show off. But it was getting late and she still hadn't arrived. Ethan found that to be weird. All the equipment on site had been checked several times.
