Even After Death Chapter 282
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

Ethan slammed the spoon he held onto the table and shouted, "What do you mean he has been taken?" Kelvin urgently said, "Mrs. Miller had dispatched extra guards to watch over Mr. Fordham about two weeks ago. "I didn't really concern myself with it, but it would seem like she knew someone would go after Mr. Fordham. "There were already two groups of people in a gunfight when we arrived. Some nurses were injured in the crossfire. The hospital has temporarily stopped the news from spreading. "Where is Jeff?""One of the groups took him. From my initial calculations, there were four different groups, including us."Excluding Olivia's hired muscle and Ethan's men, another group would be The Toxic Hive. But the fourth group was unknown. It was uncertain which group took Jeff. Ethan noticed that Kelvin's voice sounded a little feeble. He knew something was wrong. "Are you hurt?" Kelvin was holding his own arm tightly. Blood was seeping from his palm. He gritted his teeth a

The caregiver didn't expect to meet Ethan under such circumstances. Ethan was taken aback but didn't deny, "Yes."The caregiver thought about her words. She didn't want to risk causing trouble for Olivia. She explained anxiously, "Ms. Fordham didn't tell me. I just took a wild guess. "The incident at your engagement ceremony was all over the internet. Even though Ms. Fordham was blindfolded, I recognized her immediately."The caregiver suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Have you found her yet?" Ethan didn't want to talk about that with her. "Nothing will happen to her.""That's right. Ms. Fordham is such a lovely person. She'll get through this."The caregiver wiped her tears and said, "Mr. Miller, feel free to ask any questions. I'll tell you everything I know about Ms. Fordham."Ethan had so many things he wanted to say, but nothing came out. It was like he had lost his voice. "Did she ever talk about me?" Ethan opened with a question that he cared about the most.

When Ethan left the room, his body was cold.Even after the long talk with Cecily, that same question kept ringing in his head. "Why is Olivia the person who's dead but not me?"He suddenly recalled the same question he asked Olivia about why the person who was dead was Leia but not her.Now, he knew how much those words actually hurt.Ethan wondered how Olivia put up with them.He was watching a woman in the hallway. She was staring at the operating room with teary eyes in the hallway.At that moment, he thought the woman was a pregnant Olivia."Mr. Miller, what are you looking at?" Brent followed Ethan's gaze only to notice a stranger."Send me the surveillance footage in the hospital as long as it has Olivia." Ethan's voice was hoarse."Yes, sir."When Ethan was getting into the car, he almost tripped.At this point, even though Ethan didn't know what the truth was, it was highly possible that Jeff wasn't Leia's murderer. The deeper he dug into the case, the more compl

Olivia was recovering in the Moriarty residence. It had been sunny recently. So she lay in the yard while hugging Snowball, enjoying the sunlight.The breeze blew, swirling the cherry blossom on the ground.A few white cats were running in the yard. It was a beautiful scenery to behold, yet Olivia couldn't have peace of mind at all. The news of her going missing went viral online.Everyone was throwing mud at Marina for being a homewrecker and claiming Chloe to be cruel for selling her daughter off for money.The Carltons spent a lot of money to delete those articles, but a new one would be released every single time they did that.On the contrary, Olivia's personal information was well-protected. She didn't feel happy upon reading those negative comments about Marina. After all, she and Marina equally lost the game.The only things that concerned Olivia were Jeff and Jack.Jeff suddenly showed up in public while Jack had gone missing.She was certain that Jack was eith

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.

Warren was so blinded by love that he didn't realize that Olivia had spent the last two years setting this up.The moment he saw Olivia nestling in Ethan's arms, he knew that his identity had been exposed since the beginning.It was time to end all of this.Although the Fordham family had won the fight, they sustained heavy casualties.

Olivia placed a bouquet before Quinn's gravestone. "Rest in peace, Quinn. I'll take good care of the family.

"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! The thought of it gave her goosebumps.To think that he had made so many preparations just to resurrect Natalie…Even Olivia was deceived.

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. When the event actually came to pass, everyone would be thinking about their own benefit. However, the result of the discussion between David and Mason surprised everyone.Even though David wasn't acknowledged as one of the Fordhams, he wasn't planning to change his surname to Heath.He saw himself as a Fordham because his mother married Douglas.Nevertheless, he didn't mind his family being relatives with the Fordham family.Mason was a little disappointed, but he still respected David's decision because he knew how well Douglas treated David's family.Mason asked the Fordham family to sta

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.

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
