Even After Death Chapter 89
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

The coastal road was famous for its night view. The shimmering bright lights on both sides of the wide asphalt road made it seem like a stairway to heaven.Olivia rolled down the car window, letting the sea breeze into the car. The chilly breeze seemed to cool her emotions.While driving, Everly reminded her, "Be careful not to catch a cold.""It's just for a little while," Olivia replied. She rested her arms on the window sill and leaned her head on it. Then, she closed her eyes, enjoying the liberating feeling the wind brought."Hey, I've made up my mind. After I die, scatter my ashes into the sea," Olivia suddenly said.Everly slammed on the brakes, stopping the car by the roadside. "Olivia, don't make such jokes in the middle of the night. It's not funny at all."Olivia opened the door and got out of the car, taking in the sea breeze. "I initially planned to buy the Fordham residence back and have you bury my ashes under the tree in the courtyard. Since I was born there, it

When Everly went to get more food, Olivia changed her profile picture to a photo that Everly had secretly taken of her. Then she took a photo of the ocean and posted it with a caption that read, "Far, far away."Little did she know that Ethan was waiting for her outside her apartment. Olivia and Everly hadn't returned yet, so he waited in the car.As he'd watched her retreating figure earlier, he'd recalled how she'd donated five billion dollars, and that filled him with unease. It was the same discomfort he'd felt when she'd jumped off the building. He needed an answer to his questions. Finally, Brent said, "Mrs. Miller is still having barbecue, sir. She probably won't be back soon.""Where is she?""It seems like she's at the seaside. She just posted a picture of it."Ethan immediately refreshed his social media feed, but the newest post he saw had been made an hour ago by a random fitness guru. The caption read, "Breaking news! Frequent consumption of fried eggs can lea

Brent grimaced at Everly's choice of words."By the way, that lackey isn't as handsome as you. He always has a stern face, like this." Everly imitated Brent, who just watched as she dragged herself to the car. Everly patted the seat beside her and said, "Hey, you’re cute. Why don’t you let me take care of you?" Brent was about to decline when Everly added, "I'm really good at taking care of things. The last dog I took care of became so fat and healthy." Brent didn’t know how to respond to that.Olivia hadn't expected to see Ethan here. Masking her discomfort, she asked calmly, "What about Everly?"He put out the cigarette in his hand and answered, "Brent will take her home."Olivia wasn't worried about leaving Everly with Brent. She was more concerned about what would happen between her and Ethan.Tiny snowflakes danced around Ethan, creating a stunning scene. He looked at Olivia and said, "Shall we talk?"Olivia didn't even spare him a glance. "Mr. Miller, I've been good

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.

"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.

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

That was it.On the other hand, Tatiana was a little worried.

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
Even After Death Chapter 1666
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
