Chapter 499
Even After Death
Mona recounted what had happened in the morning.
âNow that I think about it, Mr. Fordham looked like he was pretending to be calm. I thought I saw him
tearing something before I walked up to him.â
Mona began to pour out the contents of the trash bin without caring if she got dirty. The bright red
invitation was very eye-catching.
âWhat is that?â
Mona frantically reassembled the invitation and said, âThis is bad. Mr. Fordham has seen the invitation.
Thatâs right, he also borrowed by phone before he told me heâd be going back into the house. Would he
already be at the hotel?â
Oliviaâs face paled as she asked, âWhen did this happen?â
â30 minutes ago.â
âThis is a disaster. Get the car ready. I have to stop Dad.â
For more than two years, Jeff was cut off from the outside world. He was completely unaware of what
had happened. If he were to learn about Chloeâs death and Ethanâs betrayal, given his current
situation, he would surely be unable to accept these facts.
Olivia tried to call Ethan,immediately, but no one picked up. He was probably busy with the wedding.
She tried Brentâs number but got the same results.
Olivia was losing her mind. She didnât expect Marina to pull such a prank like this on her wedding day.
She thought Marina was out of her mind.
Mona said apologetically, âIâm sorry, Olivia. I wasnât paying enough attention. If I had noticed earlier, I
wouldnât have let him leave. If anything happens to him, I donât know how I could possibly
atone.â
âThis isnât your fault.â
Even Jeff didnât know everything about her relationship with Ethan, much less Mona.
Mona held Oliviaâs hand. Her palm was covered in sweat.
âYou have to calm down. Donât forget the babies youâre carrying. You canât be too emotional.
Remember what the doctors said.ââ
âOkay, Iâll calm down,â Olivia said as she took a sip of warm water. But her heart was still beating fast.
She had an ominous feeling, and her sixth sense was usually accurate.
Olivia prayed inwardly for her father to be fine.
âDrive faster! Even faster! Thereâs no time.â
The driver was in a difficult position. âMrs. Miller, itâs not that I donât want to drive faster. Iâm already at
the speed limit. There are also a lot of huge curves on this route. Mr. Miller had specifically instructed
that your health must take precedence.â
Olivia didnât rest for a moment. She kept making calls, but no one picked up. She forgot how many calls
she made, but finally, she heard Ethanâs voice.
He said, âLiv?â
Ethan was surprised. Olivia had called him a lot of times.
âHave you seen my dad?â
âDad? Where is he?â
Olivia relaxed slightly. This meant that Jeff hadnât found Ethan yet.
âMarina sent someone to give me an invitation this morning. My father happened to see it, and heâs no
longer in the villa. He might be headed to the wedding venue. You know how it is. My father canât
handle any surprises.â
âI got it. Donât worry, Liv. I had something to take care of, and Iâll be at the wedding venue soon. IâH
have people look for Dad now. Itâll be fine.â
Frowning, Olivia said in a panicked voice, âEthan, I have no family left. I only have my father. Nothing
can happen to him!â
âDonât be afraid. Itâll be fine. Iâll let you know as soon as I hear anything.â
Olivia wasnât able to calm down despite Ethanâs promises. She looked at the time on her phone. She
would be arriving at the hotel in five minutes.
Soonâ¦
