Chapter 519
Even After Death
âWhere are you going, Liv?â Ethan quickly chased after her.
Lydia rolled her eyes and exclaimed, âIs this woman crazy?â
Olivia ran to the room next door. âI want to see Mr. Fordham.â
Bryce knew who Olivia was, so he opened the door without resistance. Olivia quickly ran into the
room.
Avery was sitting on the couch with a calm expression. He heard the door open and saw Olivia coming
1.
âItâs been a long time, Olivia.â
Olivia jumped right into business. She asked, âMr. Fordham, does that necklace belong to your sister?
âYes, I came here because I heard that something that belonged to her was going to be auctioned. I
wanted to see if it would help me find her. Even if it wouldnât, I didnât want her birthday gift to be in
another personâs hands.â
Oliviaâs suspicions had been confirmed. Her deduction was correct. The corpse was Averyâs long-lost
sister.
Olivia looked at Averyâs sickly face. She didnât know how to break such cruel news to him.
âWhatâs wrong, Olivia? Do you have anything you want to tell me?â
âIâve seen the owner of the rose diamond earrings before,â Olivia said slowly.
Averyâs expression changed immediately. âWhen? Where?â
âLiv, youâre pregnant. You shouldnât be walking so fast.â Ethanâs cold voice interrupted their
conversation.
He put his arm around Olivia possessively and stared daggers at Avery. He misunderstood Olivia once
because of this man. Seeing him reminded Ethan of his mistake.
It was the first time Ethan came face-to-face with Avery. He reached out politely and said, âNice to see
you again, Mr. Miller.â
âOur last meeting was too rushed, and I didnât get a chance to talk to you. What about we get dinner
together, to thank you for helping my wife out? Itâll be my treat.â
âYouâre too kind, Mr. Miller. Iâm just in town for some personal matters.â
Avery could clearly feel Ethanâs hostility against him. He didnât want to take it to heart.
He turned to look at Olivia and said, âI need to talk about something private with Olivia. Do you mind?
Ethan tightened his hand around Oliviaâs waist, saying slowly, âI do mind.â
His refusal was direct. He didnât even try to be polite.
âLiv is pregnant. I donât think sheâs going to be of much help. If you have any problems, Iâll be happy to
help.â
Ethan pretended to be close to Olivia. He didnât want to give anyone else a chance to get close to her.
Olivia didnât want to put up with his games. She said, âEthan, I have something important to talk to Mr.
Avery about. Youâ¦â
Ethanâs expression fell. âIâm curious. What do you have to talk to him about that I canât know of?â
Olivia could sense the animosity seeping from Ethan. She sighed, not wanting to get into another fight
with Ethan.
âOkay, you can listen in, but donât butt in. What Iâm about to say is important.â
Ethan was at a loss for words.
Avery gestured for both of them to sit before ignoring Ethanâs presence completely.
âOlivia, please let me know where you saw my sister.â
Olivia took a deep breath and said, âMr. Avery, what Iâm about to say might not be good news. You
need to brace yourself.â
âOkay, Iâm ready.â
âHalf a year ago, I found a washed up boat when I was escaping from my enemies. I dove into the
water and found⦠a dead body in the water. That body had these earrings on.â
