Chapter 369
Even After Death
Kelvin sped up at the next turn. Several cars that were waiting joined the fray. Olivia looked behirfd and
saw the Bentley Mulsanne being in the middle of four cars. It was forced to a stop after several
minutes.
Kelvin was hot-headed. After reassuring Olivia, he got out of the car. He wanted to see for himself who
had the audacity to tail them.
Although the Bentley Mulsanne was forced to a halt, its tinted windows prevented Kelvin from looking
inside.
He knocked on the window cockily and said, âWill you roll down the window yourself or do I need to
smash it?â
More than a dozen bodyguards surrounded the car. This commotion caused some passersby to look
over. They wondered if a fight was about to happen.
The window slowly rolled down. The first thing that came into view was the hand on the manâs knee.
There was a sapphire ring on the manâs finger. Even the green suit he wore looked impeccable.
The manâs face was slowly revealed until his eyes met Kelvinâs. Kelvin was a little impulsive, but he
was still able to tell who the man in the car was.
âYouâre⦠Mr. Avery.â
Kelvin had been to several international finance conferences and had seen Avery a few times before.
He exuded an air of unparalleled nobility just by sitting there.
âWhat business do you have with me?â Avery said while looking at Kelvin coldly.
A chill went down Kelvinâs spine. He didnât expect to see such an important man.
âIâm so sorry, Mr. Avery. This is a misunderstanding.â
âA misunderstanding?â Avery smiled coldly. It was apparent that he didnât believe Kelvin.
Kelvin didnât want to cause trouble for Ethan and wanted to explain himself.
Suddenly, Olivia said, âItâs indeed a misunderstanding, Mr. Avery.â
Averyâs cold expression faded instantly. He even got out of his car.
Olivia explained to him, âIt hasnât been peaceful around me lately. My family is worried about
me, so we thought that I was being targeted by criminals. Iâm so sorry, Mr. Avery.â
âSo thatâs the case. Itâs my fault. I was so focused on trying to repay you and ended up causing
trouble.â
Kelvin felt uneasy when he saw how quickly Averyâs attitude changed. Avery was famous for being a
wealthy bachelor. He hoped that Avery hadnât set his sights on Olivia.
That would be terrible news for Ethan. He was already divorced from Olivia. It wouldnât matter if Avery
was just another regular man, but he wasnât.
Kelvin intentionally looked at Olivia, asking, âMrs. Miller, do you know each other?â
Olivia knew what Kelvin was trying to do. âWeâve met twice.â
âThis lady saved my life. She was in a rush just now, and I forgot to ask her name. I saw her getting in
the car, and I followed after her. Iâm sorry for causing you trouble.â
âYou donât have to be so polite, Mr. Avery. Itâs nothing. I have the same last name as you. Iâm also a
Fordham.â
Averyâs eyes lit up. âWhat a happy coincidence. Do you haveâ¦â
Before he could finish his sentence, Oliviaâs phone rang. It was a call from Chris. She wondered if he
had found out about her origin.
Olivia quickly said, âIâm sorry, but I have to go.â
Olivia got in the car and left in a hurry while Avery stood where he was.
âMr. Avery, arenât you here to look for Ms. Quinn? Why are you interested in this stranger?â
Avery said calmly, âShe looks like someone I know. Go look into her. Find out who she is.â
âYes, Mr. Avery. Considering your health, you should return to the hotel and rest. Weâll inform you as
soon as we have any updates on Ms. Quinnâs situation.â
