Even After Death Chapter 278
There was a lot of noise, but Olivia could still make out Ethan and Chloe's voices. She could feel the irony. Her mother wanted her dead, but the man she hated was willing to trade his life for hers.What expectations could she have for a mother like that? She used to sit at the entrance of her home and stare at the road Chloe drove off on. When she had a falling out with Ethan, she would do that too. She remembered that she would keep reheating the food that got cold and wait while sitting on the doorsteps.She would wait through the four seasons year by year, but the person she waited for never showed up. It was like her whole life was a joke. Olivia grunted and said slowly, "Mrs. Carlton, I don't want you in the next life. Even if there is a next life, I never want to cross paths with you again.""Liv, I don't have a choice. I really don't have a choice …"Chloe was crying profusely. She didn't want to make that choice, either. But she loved Chris so much that she cou

"Who the fuck said you could hurt her?" Before Olivia fell into the water, she could hear a man shouting over the loud ocean breeze. She wondered who the person was and if he was talking about her. Olivia grasped her knife tightly. It was her only chance at survival. She cut away all the ropes that bound her as soon as she was in the water. Through today's incident, she was able to confirm that the person was a woman and that the woman didn't want to hurt Ethan physically. Even Marina was a decoy. Olivia knew that she was the woman's only target. The woman wanted to torment her. But Olivia couldn't figure out how she brought such trouble onto herself. That woman was behind everything that happened to her and her family. Olivia couldn't accept that. Only one thought was going through her mind: she had to survive, even if she was beaten and bruised. Olivia wanted revenge, even if it meant she had to bring the woman down with her. She wanted her to have a taste of the

Olivia could almost feel the person's intent to kill. She was very meticulous and alert. Olivia knew she had to hide. The boat she got on was quite shabby, but it was large enough for her to hide in. Olivia figured the person couldn't search too thoroughly because they didn't bring many people here. She quickly snuck into the boat's cabin. The boat was partially submerged. The water within the boat was dirty. It smelled awful. Olivia knew she couldn't rely on anyone to save her this time. She could only save herself. No matter how hard the road ahead was, she no longer had the option to back out of it. She slowly walked toward the foul-smelling water. Soon after, she heard footsteps on the boat. Olivia pinched her nose and submerged herself in the water. She was in a blind spot. Her pursuers wouldn't see her if they didn't enter the water. Olivia's heartbeat quickened as she heard the footsteps getting louder. She hoped that the person searching wouldn't jump in

Olivia exited the water, holding back her fear and trying not to vomit. She looked at the body cautiously, hoping to find something that could identify the body. The clothes on the body were expensive. It was the high-end product of some luxury brand. The diamond earrings she had on glittered dimly under the light. There was also a sapphire ring on her finger. It looked like it would belong to some wealthy person's collection. Evidently, her murderer wasn't after money, or else her jewelry would've been gone. There also weren't any signs of sexual abuse on her clothes. There was a gunshot wound on her chest. The cause of her death was likely the shot to her chest. Olivia could tell that the body came from money. But she hadn't heard about any missing heiresses recently. She sighed helplessly. She decided to inform the authorities after she got out of there. She wanted the body to find her way back to her family. Olivia felt pity for the body. Olivia suddenly heard t

Olivia saw Ethan throwing a fit as she stood on the boat's deck. Ethan was like a lion that was out of control. It took several people to hold him back from jumping into the ocean. He only stopped after Kelvin and Brent worked together and injected him with some sedatives. Olivia watched from a distance. She barely even felt anything. She was even more unhinged than Ethan the time she found out her baby had passed. Olivia chose to sneak away while they were still looking for her body out at sea. She was determined to live, even if her body was sickly and battered. She could only exact revenge for herself and her dead child. She was very close to uncovering the person's identity. She didn't want to collapse so close to the finishing line. She had to see things through. Olivia was drenched in putrid water. Her palms were chafed by the ropes that bound her. There was a thin layer of scab on her palms that hurt with the slightest touch. Her stomach had been hurting all da

Olivia was hurt pretty badly. But luckily, there weren't any life-threatening conditions. She had no choice but to take time to recover at Colin's place. Unlike the peace within the Moriarty residence's walls, the outside world was in chaos. Ethan expended a lot of resources trying to find Olivia's body at sea. No stone was left unturned. He was getting so out of hand that he even wanted to surround the part of the ocean where Olivia fell in and drain the water. The money needed for that idea was only a minor problem. The main problem was that it would cause social uproar. The netizens began to make fun of Ethan."The last time so much effort was put into draining water was when they wanted to catch an alligator gar.""And they say Marina is his true love. The way I see it, Marina is nothing to Mr. Miller compared to his ex-wife.""It has been three days. Hasn't anyone dug up information about Mr. Miller's ex-wife?""It's not that no one tried to look her up. It's that

In recent days, Chloe wasn't the only one suffering. Ethan wasn't doing any better. He barely ate or drank anything, nor did he rest or sleep. He was very tightly wound. The search for Olivia was constantly on his mind. It pained Kelvin to see Ethan in such a weakened state. "Mr Miller, you should at least eat something. Your body won't be able to hold out at this rate." Ethan's throat was parched, and his lips were chapped. Brent hurriedly got him a cup of tea. Ethan was only barely able to speak after downing a cup of warm tea, but his voice was still hoarse. "The thing I had you investigate?" "The surveillance on the elevator was already destroyed when we got there. There isn't any useful footage. "But we uncovered their link with an international organization through their kidnapping of Ms. Carlton.""What organization?""The Toxic Hive."Ethan put a cigarette to his lips out of habit and tried to light it up with his lighter. But his fingers were shaking uncon

Brent was relieved to see some spark in Ethan's eyes. He quickly continued, "That's true. Mrs. Miller is a pacifist. She wouldn't ask you to avenge her otherwise."Ethan frowned at the reminder. He recalled Olivia trying to tell him something but never actually speaking up. "What she wanted me to investigate wasn't only The Toxic Hive. She also wanted me to look into the incident with Jeff and my sister."Ethan remembered that Olivia had visited the Miller residence before the kidnapping. She probably knew something was wrong. It was like the spy cameras planting in Ethan's office. It was clear someone had been plotting against him for some time. But this concerned his taboo. It was something he didn't allow anyone to bring up, not even Olivia.That was why Olivia had to risk everything and investigate by herself to find the truth. "Mr. Miller, do we need to look into Ms. Leia's incident?" Brent asked cautiously. Ethan looked up into the sky and stared at the dimly lit s

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. Her heart ached as she began crying. "It's finally over, Mona. Please rest in peace."She had been waiting for this day to come for too long.

"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. She has Natalie's genes in her…"Olivia's eyes widened as she finally realized why Louis had been taking special care of her. Back then, she simply assumed that it was due to her health and talent, but it turned out that he had known her identity all along!The purpose of the human modification project was to resurrect Natalie!

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. A lot of people came to the island, but I don't think it's a big issue for now," Ethan reminded her.He bet that the ships were loaded with ammunition. Still, the buildings on the island were intact, and nothing seemed to be destroyed. She disagreed, "No, there should

Mason and David had a long discussion by themselves. No one knew what they talked about.But it didn't matter because it was just an extra member joining the Fordham family anyway. 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.

Olivia and the others returned to the Fordham family. Everything was going back on track under Avery's management. Sean's leg was recovering well. 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

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
