Chapter 344
Even After Death
Brent sighed. âI donât know whatâs going through Ms. Millerâs head. But I wonder how Mrs. Miller will
react after learning the truth.â
âYeah, Mrs. Miller doesnât know anything. She just thinks that Mr. Miller became distant because of Ms.
Carlton. She tried so hard to get back with Mr. Miller for two years. She even tried to take her own life in
exchange for Ms. Millerâs.
âIf she learns the truth now, who will she blame for the misfortune that befell the Fordhams? There was
the downfall of the Fordham family and her fatherâs traffic accident. She went through a lot as well.â
Learning the truth would be like cutting into an old wound. It would reveal the bloody and ugly past.
If he had known the truth would be so devastating, would Ethan have insisted on searching for it?
The Fordham family was just unlucky from the beginning. They suffered Ethanâs wrath for no reason.
Olivia tried to repair their relationship for two years, but they still went their separate ways.
Finally, he chose to set aside his hatred. He wanted to rebuild trust and fix his relationship with her, but
then, the truth surfaced.
âSheâll never find out,â Ethan said in a hoarse voice.
Brent and Kelvin looked at him simultaneously as he slowly raised his head.
Ethanâs typically neat hair was tousled. A few strands of hair were hanging down, covering a part of his
forehead,
Though he appeared less intimidating, his eyes had a resolute gleam.
âAs long as you both keep this secret, sheâll never find out.â
Kelvin swallowed and scratched his head. âMr. Miller, Iâve never gone out with a woman before, but I
know women hate lies and secrets. I think you should come clean with Mrs. Miller
on this.
âItâs too big of a matter to hide from her. You should come clean and ask for forgiveness.
âYou canât hide this from her forever. Once she finds out the truth and learns that youâve been lying to
her, youâll completely lose the chance to get her back.â
âBe that as it may, this matter concerns her father, whoâs still missing. If she learns the truth,
will she forgive Mr. Miller? If they sever all ties now, there wouldnât even be a future to speak
of.â
Ethan was feeling conflicted. He knew he should come clean.
But he was afraid of losing Olivia if he told her the truth.
He didnât know what to do.
Kelvin said earnestly, âMr. Miller, you should find a chance to come clean with her.â
Olivia was left alone in the villa. She sighed in relief when she heard from Chris that Ethan was fine.
She even cooperated with Chris and ate her fill while waiting for the test results.
The sound of the rain made her annoyed and kept her up. She lay on the soft and spacious bed while
her mind was thinking of the woman in the doctorâs coat.
Although she covered herself up thoroughly, her eyes were visible. Those eyes looked a lot like Ethanâs
eyes, especially when she was angry.
Olivia had brought up Leia before the woman, but she avoided the topic. There was something fishy
about that.
Olivia began to make bold deductions. Maybe she was wrong from the beginning. Jodie and Leia were
not the same person.
Leia went missing when she was a child. No one had seen her for more than a decade. She only
needed to find a person who looked a little like her to be the sacrificial lamb.
The relationship between Jodie and Jeff could have been real, but it might have also been part of
Leiaâs plan.
She couldâve been the mastermind. She created a scenario where she was killed to intensify the
conflict between Olivia and Ethan.
When she recalled the syringe last night, a chill went down Oliviaâs spine, and her back was covered in
sweat.
What a terrifying woman Leia was.
But Olivia didnât understand why Leia harbored such animosity toward her. Leia was
kidnapped at a very young age, and they had never even met each other.
But she suddenly remembered Colinâs words, âSome people are just born evilâ.
And then she thought about Leo. Many mysteries were haunting her, and she couldnât figure them out.
Someone knocked on the door and came in after getting her approval. It was Chris.
