Chapter 501
Even After Death
Jeffâs mind went blank when he heard that Chloe was dead. He felt like he couldnât breathe, and the
blood in his veins froze.
Face pale, his body was trembling uncontrollably. He grabbed Marinaâs hand emotionally and asked,
How did your mother die?â
Marina hated it when people brought up Chloeâs death before her. She was the one that caused
Chloeâs death, and she didnât want to face that fact.
âWhat does it have to do with you? Which hole did you crawl out of, you peasant? Get away before I
call for security.â
Marina looked at Jeffâs expression that was mixed with shock, pain, and disbelief. She wondered if he
was an old friend of Chloeâs.
When she thought of that, her disdain for him eased a little.
âNever mind. Itâs my wedding today. Since youâre already here, you should stay for a drink.â
Calista glanced at Jeff and said, âNow, scram. I can tell you donât belong here from your attire. Donât
dirty Marinaâs dress.â

Jeff was still wallowing in the pain of Chloeâs passing. He didnât care what anyone else was thinking.
For some reason, MarinÄ felt terrible when she saw Jeff trembling like he had experienced a great
shock.
Mina came over with two kids in tow. Erina called out sweetly, âMommy!â
Marinaâs heart warmed at the sight of her children, who she hadnât seen for some time. She looked at
Connor. She thought he would at least call out to her since they had not seen each other for so long.
But Connor looked at her emotionlessly without saying anything.
Jeff noticed Connor and asked, âIs he your son?â
Calista said impatiently, âWhy are you still here? Donât you understand a word I said?â
A sudden realization struck Jeff. âHeâs your and Ethanâs son, right?â
âWhy are you acting all crazy? Everyone knows that Marina is Mr. Millerâs first love. He waited for her
for ten whole years. Itâs only natural that they have children.â
âOnly natural? What about my daughter, then?â Jeff asked with a crazed expression. It was like he was
swept up by a vortex of emotions, and he had lost his mind.
âYour daughter? Youâreâ¦â
Marina didnât recognize Jeff. She only learned of her origins shortly before Chloeâs death. She heard
that Jeff was in a coma and that he would probably never regain consciousness. She didnât even know
where he was.
She felt emotional as she looked at the face, which looked a little like hers. She had one more family
member who was alive.
Before she could express her excitement, Calista also remembered who Jeff was. But she didnât know
his relationship with Marina and thought he was here to fight for Olivia.
Calista said, âMr. Fordham, if youâre here to get justice for Olivia, thereâs no point in doing so. You canât
change anything. Mr. Miller no longer has any feelings for Olivia.â
Jeff remained civilized. Looking at her coldly, he said, âThis is none of your business. Stay out of it.â
Calista was triggered. âMr. Fordham, do you think youâre still the head of the Fordham family? Donât
you know how your family became bankrupt?
âMr. Miller was the one who did it. He intended to destroy the Fordham family. Do you think heâd still go
back to Olivia?â
