Even After Death Chapter 849
The poor could never win against the rich, while the rich could never win against the influential.The Millers were able to stand on their feet for decades not only because of their business background. They wouldn't have been able to come this far without the support from the higher-ups.No matter how well-off Ethan was, he would've been bullied by others without that kind of background.His actions would get in the way of the others' benefit, which would affect his future career. In fact, it wasn't a wise choice because it would give his enemies the chance to pounce on him.But what other choice did he have? The other party had his wife and daughter, and there was always something getting in his way.This was the simplest and the only way to save Olivia.He sighed lightly. "There's no turning back for me."Unlike Kelvin and Brent, Joshua never showed himself that easily. He had always been eliminating troubles for Ethan in secret.Now that he was called forward, it was an i

Ethan followed the crowd, entering the auction.Before it started, he could hear noisy and vehement exclamations."I heard that there's a beauty tonight.""I heard that too, that there's something good.""It's so boring these days. We're going to reach the land soon. Shouldn't we seize the chance to play something big?"Everyone present was wearing a mask, and beneath those masks were hideous faces.Not long after Ethan seated himself, someone approached him. "Mr. Irving?"With his legs crossed, Ethan exuded the aura of a big shot. He no longer wore the meek facade he had put up when Olivia was around."That's me." His murderous aura alone was enough to make one distance themselves from him."Here's a letter for you."The content was written in the same handwriting. After Ethan read the letter, Joshua noticed the veins protruding from the back of Ethan's hands. It was obviously ire."My superior has said the word. If you reject this, you'll see both of them becoming someon

Ethan grasped the armrest tightly. During this whole time when he lost Olivia, he was worried about Olivia and Alicia getting harmed.Despite knowing that the items should be clean before getting sold, he couldn't help the restlessness.When he heard the host introducing the first goods, his heart raced. Only when he realized that it had nothing to do with Olivia did he heave a sigh of relief.It seemed like things were going as he had expected—Flora placed Olivia as the last good.He grabbed the armrest tightly.Time ticked past second by second.Due to the early teaser of decent goods, the tension wasn't high during the beginning. Everyone was waiting for the final auction item.In the meantime, Joshua had given Ethan water several times, but the latter didn't drink it.When it was finally time to reveal the final item, Flora personally went onstage.Her high heels clacked as she trodded to the middle of the stage in a red dress.Her hot body had all of the men gawking.

Ethan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.Olivia and Alicia were wearing exquisite silver gowns. In addition to the silver chains, they appeared oddly beautiful.Alicia's face wasn't covered, so her innocent face was shown on the huge screen.Everyone was mesmerized by her angelic beauty.She wasn't fed any drugs, so her beady eyes were crystal clear.Her hair accessory came with diamonds and feathers, turning her into a princess of an exotic country.Her innocent eyes indicated that she didn't know what was going on. She didn't cry. Instead, the curious girl scanned the surroundings like a lamb intruding on a lion's den by mistake.Her rosy lips parted, and Ethan read her lips. "Mom. Uncle Logan."Ethan's fingers were already touching his weapon. He wished he could fire his gun at Flora at this moment.Alicia's beauty surged the crowd into a commotion.A lot of them were even planning to renew their collection.Some of the twisted people planned to take her

Flora wanted to see Ethan getting anxious. He naturally didn't want Olivia's mask to be taken off as other men would see her face.If he didn't give the money, there would be others willing to fork it out. Thus, he had to give the one million dollars first.That figure was only the minimum. It was also Flora's chance to test Ethan.If he could pay so much money for a kiss, the following figure wouldn't be as little as this time. What could he use to bid later?If he were to save up the money for later to buy Olivia, someone else would kiss her.Flora had set her mind on disgusting Ethan. This was a hard choice for him to make.However, she underestimated something about Ethan. Although he yearned for love, he hadn't lacked money since his birth.The Millers had been running their businesses for decades, and he was a prodigy in the field. The Miller family was a prestigious family.It was not that Ethan looked down on the others, but they wouldn't be able to overthrow him

Dale was known to be a playboy. His strong background gave him more reason to be one.Ethan didn't want to cross the Kingstons. Once things got out of control, Old Mr. Kingston would be a pain in the ass for him.Dale was the only person competing against Ethan. The price to remove Olivia's mask had reached up to four million dollars.Even Dale himself found it ridiculous. Frustrated, he asked, "Who's that fool competing against me?""We've looked into it, Mr. Dale. But we don't know who he is. He's mysterious. See how he bids a price as soon as you raise the bid? I think he's determined to win this round. Why don't we leave it at that and focus on the next round?"Dale snorted coldly. "Fine. Seems like I got a great deal for nothing. Let's see if that woman is worth four million dollars. If not, I bet he'll be infuriated."The bid ended with four million dollars. Everyone wished to know who spent so much money for a mere kiss.Some of them even doubted if the bidder could pay t

The light shone upon Olivia's face, adding luster to her exquisite makeup.She looked like she had stepped right out of a comic book. Even Ethan, who had always known how gorgeous she was, held his breath.She was wearing silver contact lenses, so she looked different.Her exposed skin was shimmering because of the glitter, conjuring images in his head.Her beauty was surreal like that of a beached mermaid, fallen angel, or a fairy."Fuck! I should've raised the bid earlier," Dale huffed.The person next to him hurriedly said, "Mr. Dale, she's beautiful, but she's not that young. Can't you see how old her daughter is already? So what if you can get a kiss from her? As long as you can buy her off, you can play with her however you fancy."Dale caressed his chin. "You're right. She can settle down at Pearl Mansion. We mustn't let those conventional geezers know about this.""That's for sure.""But don't you think she looks familiar? I think I've seen her somewhere before.""I

Following that was a whole new round of bidding. Flora's spur definitely stimulated the guests.The starting price of one million dollars soon increased by multiple folds. The figure increased faster than Usain Bolt.The huge screen was displaying Olivia. Her face was perfect no matter from which angle one looked.The high-resolution screen showed her forehead covered in beads of sweat. Her eyes were glazed over. The drugs were kicking in.Some of the men were willing to splurge money to have her without a care in the world.Dale wasn't one of the bidders. The bid went up to seven million dollars even before he raised his placard.The businessmen knew what they were doing. Once they were sick of Olivia, they could hand her over to someone else.A beauty like her could be sold around like hotcakes. It wouldn't be long before they could earn their capital back.Hence, the bids were raised higher and higher. It was going to exceed nine million dollars soon."Things are not look
