Even After Death Chapter 98
She considered all the possibilities for how this could play out on her way to Collington Cove. All she had to do was abandon her pride and cooperate with Marina. It couldn't be that difficult. What did her pride matter when she was about to die anyway?It was her first time inside Collington Cove. The decorations were all to her liking: blue arches, horseshoe-shaped windows, gray walls, and white curtains swaying in the sea breeze. It had a mysterious, romantic air to it. It was a pity that the owner of the house was Marina.With the maid leading her, Olivia arrived at the spacious and bright living room. The room sported a 270-degree circular floor-to-ceiling window that provided a clear view of the sea from every angle.Before she spotted Marina, something touched her leg. It was Connor, whom she hadn't seen for some time. "Mommy," he called out, his voice cute and pleasant to the ear. His eyes were sparkling like stars in the sky, and Olivia felt a little more affectiona

Evidently, Marina hadn't expected Olivia to retaliate. Just like that, her new hairdo was ruined. Exasperated, she screamed, "You little bitch! What have you done? No one would dare to do this to me!"As her face was plastered with batter, Marina couldn't see where Olivia was after the latter had retreated. Grabbing at the air blindly, Marina tried to seize hold of her. Sensing movement, she lunged forward, only to step on the batter, slip, and fall to the ground."No one has done this to me before either, Marina. You aren't the only one who has been pampered their whole life. You can't just ruin my hair as you please."Taking full advantage of the situation, Olivia slapped Marina hard before stomping on her a few times. "This is for my dead child! This is for my dead marriage!""Agh, I'll kill you, you little bitch! Help me, you silly fools! Why are you doing nothing?" Marina was infuriated at being physically assaulted by Olivia. Meanwhile, the only maid in the kitchen was fr

Emotional, Olivia violently grabbed Marina's hair. "Isn’t Ethan a loyal, perfect man? Aren't you his precious sweetheart? I'm sure everyone would love to hear that he has an ex-wife, and you're nothing but a heartless, sly woman! I have all the evidence!"She knew her threat was unlikely to affect the untouchable Ethan, who'd never cared what anyone else thought about him. However, Marina had worked hard for her achievements, and her reputation was everything to her. Hence, the threat effectively made her quiver in fear."Alright, alright, I got it. Well, it’s just Fordham residence. I'll give it back to you. Just keep the knife away from me.""One last thing: if you dare to trouble my friend, I will ruin your reputation. You're a smart woman, Ms. Carlton. I’m sure you understand that it’s not worth losing everything over such petty matters." Before this, Olivia used to think that engaging in such petty fights was unbecoming of her. Now all that mattered was the satisfaction tha

Olivia sensed something. She raised her head to look at the window above her.The sweater on Connor made him look like a little polar bear. He rested his palms and cheek against the window, overflowing with cuteness.The good soundproofing blocked his voice from seeping through the window. But she could tell that he was saying hi to her.His adorable action appeased the displeasure in her as she smiled and waved at him.Ethan happened to witness the scene at that moment. It felt like he had returned to the time he first met her.That morning, the ponytail girl was waving at him with a smile as dazzling as the sun.Ten years had passed, yet he could remember that smile vividly.He pulled his senses back. Olivia would not come to Collington Cove alone. There could only be one reason for this. She came here for the Fordham residence.Ethan hung up the call. Brent reported the slaughterhouse incident to Ethan.Ethan shoved the ashtray onto the ground, thinking, "Marina is gett

A loud crying echoed against the wall. Connor was standing by the staircase, wailing.Surprised, the maid stopped her movement. Although Marina wasn't close with Connor, as his mother, she didn't wish for her kid to witness the cruel scene.She instructed, "What are you doing? Make sure the kid doesn't see this."The flustered maids rushed toward Connor. Marina was irritated by the sudden crying, too.She urged, "What are you standing there for? Do it."The maid said aloud from upstairs, "Master Conner must be having an allergy reaction. There are a lot of rashes on his body and face.""Call the doctor over." Marina was very impatient. Instead of dealing with Connor, she was anxious to settle the score with Olivia because it was her rare chance to do so.Olivia looked at Marina in disbelief. "He's your son. He's so little, and he's crying. You should at least hug him and comfort him."Marina sneered. "If you make it quick, I can do that right away.""He's crying so helplessl

It was as though the king of the beast let out a furious roar, deafening enough to shake the whole forest.Ethan ran over at full pelt. A frantic Marina noticed him and sprang from her seat, putting the pedicure at the back of her mind. The nail polish splashed onto the floor because of her abrupt action. The striking red adorned the white carpet."Ethan, I can explain," she said anxiously.He ignored her and bypassed her swiftly.However, the maid with the tall stature didn't stop her even after noticing his arrival.Marina brought that maid along to the country back then. Her name was Sana Ashbluff.She had been working for Marina before the latter's mother passed away. Not only did she know martial arts, she was 5'7 and weighed 160 pounds. Thus, she appeared built among average women.Sana clearly heard Ethan. But she was aware that Olivia was the thorn in Marina's flesh.She needed to remove the thorn for Marina.That was why she didn't stop even after hearing Ethan'

Marina found Olivia's question hilarious. "If I'm not his mother, who else is? You?""If you are his mother, you shouldn't be this cold-blooded. He's having an allergic reaction and has fallen from the stairs. "The first thing you did isn't protect him and comfort him, but to attack me. Do you even call yourself a mother?"Marina said, "Now that Ethan's here, don't assume that you'll be able to restore his feelings for you by defaming me."Ethan was there when I gave birth to Connor. He knows very well that I am Connor's mother."Olivia couldn't care less to continue the boring topic with her. The incident proved that some people were unsuitable to be a mother because of their inherent character.Connor's nanny rushed over with a basin of water. Olivia took his top off to place the napkin on him.But something was weird.Kids usually cried or threw a tantrum when they suffered from itchy rashes.Yet, Connor was all quiet. His eyes were fixated on her as he grasped the hem o

Ethan attempted to keep his emotions under control. He was afraid that he might break Marina's neck if she was around here.If he had arrived one second late, Olivia would've been hurt.He was able to tolerate Marina's jealousy in the past.He took it as a trivial matter, but he didn't expect things to escalate this far.Ethan looked at the wound above Olivia's eyebrow. "Disinfect your wound. Leave Connor to Mina."Mina Whitman was Connor's nanny.Olivia finally heaved a sigh of relief after Connor's rash was under control. She left the rest to Mina."Mama, Mama," Connor called her upon noticing that she was leaving. He became anxious, no longer the quiet boy he was a second ago.It pained her to see him crying, so she returned to him to give him a hug.Only then did he nestle quietly in her arms.Ethan took the cotton bud to disinfect her wound. Olivia instinctively dodged him, but he insisted. "Don't move."Everyone in the house worked for Marina, making him the only per

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. 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.

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.

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
