Even After Death Chapter 86
Ethan took a furtive glance around the apartment. It wasn't big, but he could feel Olivia's presence in every corner. When he noticed the baby crib in her room, he remembered that it was the only thing she'd taken with her when she'd left him. As the realization washed over him, his heart turned into a jumbled mess. After seeing her jump off the building that day, he'd come to realize one thing. He'd followed after her without hesitation, which made him understand that he couldn't stop loving her no matter how much he hated her.His love and hate were intertwined. They fused into a prickly bramble full of thorns, coiling tightly around the two of them. It was as though the more he pushed her off into the dark, the closer he got to the edge of a cliff himself. Ethan picked up a soft toy on the bed. Olivia had always hugged it to make herself sleep for countless nights in the past two years. If only that incident hadn't happened, he would have been a good husband to Olivia and

Ethan had been expecting Brent to send some clothes over for him, so he walked straight out of the bathroom. He turned to look at the open door, only to find Keith standing there. Raising an eyebrow in question, he said to Olivia, "It seems like we have company."Olivia was still in her pajamas, whereas Ethan was wrapped in only a towel. No matter how one looked at it, they looked just like a couple who'd been married for years. Keith was neither blind nor stupid; he set the goods down and left, dispirited. Olivia didn't care to explain, which only convinced Keith that he'd guessed her situation correctly. Nevertheless, this was for the best. Ethan tossed a glance at the goods on the ground. "Am I not generous enough to you?" Ten billion dollars for their divorce was considered sky-high already. Olivia answered, "I'll give these to the old guy who collects the trash in our area."Ethan grunted. "Does he come here often?" "He visited once when I had a fever." "There wo

Stunned, Olivia stopped what she was doing and said sternly, "Madam, you've crossed the line. I want to talk to my father alone. Please leave." "Alright." The nurse closed the door gently and left. As usual, Olivia patiently wiped Jeff's body and trimmed his hair and nails. Had it not been for the electrocardiogram displaying his even heartbeat, she would have thought that he'd left her for good. Compared to the snowstorm before, the weather was great today, so she pushed the curtain away to let the sun's warm rays shine into the room. "Dad, I won't be able to stay with you for long. If you don't wake up soon, you might never see me again. Oh right—Ethan and I are divorced now." Olivia's voice was gentle as she spoke to her father, updating him on her life. Sunlight fell on her face as she smiled. "He wasn't very kind to me these two years, but he's been quite generous since our divorce. He's given me what he should, including a house, a car, and some shares. I'm filthy ric

It was the night of the charity dinner, which had been fully organized and managed by the Crosby family. The Crosbys had announced that 10% of the money from the auction would be sent to charity. However, everyone knew the truth—the Crosbys were facing some financial difficulties and were trying to earn some cash by selling off some of their items. Those in Mr. Crosby Senior's circle knew that he had an eye for invaluable collectibles, yet they kept quiet about it. He'd liked hoarding valuables since he'd been young, so there were bound to be lots of treasures hidden in his house. It wasn't every day that one got to see him selling his prized possessions, and those who knew him had decided to attend the dinner as soon as they'd received the invitation. Even those without much money came over to watch the show. The word on the street was that the Fordham residence was going to be auctioned too. Olivia and Everly arrived just in time. The latter poked her head out of the ca

"Mrs. Mil—Ms. Fordham, shall I escort you inside?" Brent addressed Olivia as respectfully as usual."There's no need. I'm waiting for a friend … She's here." Olivia had just spotted a woman in a flaming red fur coat. She wore nude stockings underneath and high heels, making her look like an ostrich on fire. All of a sudden, Olivia didn't want to admit knowing someone like her. It had never occurred to her that Everly was late because she was changing in the car. Everly walked over with a pair of exaggerated glasses on her face and an overwhelming scent of perfume surrounding her. Olivia turned away from the horrendous sight and started to leave. "Nope. I got the wrong person. I'll head inside now." "Liv! Wait for me!" Everly called after Olivia.She approached Brent, stopped right before him, and removed her shades. "Did you piss Liv off again?" Brent was never one to comment on women's clothing, but this time … "Do you think Treasure Trove is a nightclub? Are you goin

The banquet hadn't started, so people were walking around and looking at the displays.Calista's act of calling Olivia out had attracted the eyes of many. Noticing the frown on Ethan's face, Marina hastily hooked an arm in his and explained, "Olivia and Calista were classmates. They had some grudges in the past. It'd be inappropriate if you meddled in their business." Ethan silently removed his arm from hers and straightened his tie. Marina didn't continue the topic or move closer to him. Instead, she simply reminded him, "Besides, you and Olivia are already divorced. What would people think if you tried to help her now? !We're getting engaged soon, and the hospital is in the middle of preparations. Any rumors about you will greatly affect Miller Group's shares. Logically speaking, you should keep your distance from her." "Who told you I was going to help her?" Ethan retorted as he left without turning back.Calista tried to make things worse by pointing at Olivia and de

As Everly took her seat, the lights dimmed. Marina whispered a threat, "Don't push your luck, Everly.""Push my luck? I haven’t even exposed you as a homewrecker yet," Everly retorted.Despite the dim lighting, she could see that Marina had turned as pale as a ghost. This, in turn, brought a cheerful smile to Everly's face. "I just love how you can't do anything about me even though you can’t stand me. Marina, I've got evidence of all the things you've done. "If you dare provoke me and Liv again, I just might reveal everything to the whole world. If I were you, I would cut my losses and stop right here. Don’t act all high and mighty when you're nothing but a sly fox."Glaring at her fiercely, Marina remained quiet. Meanwhile, Olivia hadn't expected to meet Ethan again so soon. They didn’t talk at all, and any passerby would have thought that they were strangers. They were both indifferent to the auction going on, not reacting to the high prices offered. As the auction ap

Everly ground her teeth in frustration, wondering how such a despicable person could exist. Lowering her voice, she said, "You stole her man. Isn't it enough now that you’re Mrs. Miller?""Huh? I stole her man? If it hadn't been for her, Ethan and I would have been married a long time ago. Olivia's the one who stole my man," Marina countered, sneering."Ms. Carlton, with that audacity of yours, you could set a new Guinness World Record. I can assure you that no one will be able to break your record for centuries. I thought I was bad, but I'm nothing compared to you. You truly set the bar high," Everly retorted."Everly, if I were you, I would speak to me politely," Marina threatened, crossing her arms."Ooh, someone’s getting angry!" Everly was talented at infuriating others."I'm not angry," Marina replied, maintaining her composure. Olivia, on the other hand, was boiling inside. She'd raised the bid to five billion dollars. Ethan knew her limits, and he could easily secure the
