Chapter 520
Even After Death
Averyâs hands started to shake when Olivia mentioned a dead body. His complexion was already bad,
but his face became deathly pale.
âCould you be mistaken?â
âI donât think so. The earrings were huge and very pretty. She was wearing designer clothes. Oh, wore
a really expensive-looking sapphire ring.â
Olivia saw that Averyâs expression was worsening. She comforted him, saying, âMr. Avery, maybe
someone took your sisterâs jewelry. It might not be as bad as we think it is.â
Avery lowered his head to look at his phone. He didnât hear what Olivia said.
Olivia saw that Averyâs fingers were shaking. He was scrolling frantically on his phone before stopping
at a picture.
âIs this the ring you saw?â
The ring in the picture was clearer. The sapphire was clear and exquisite.

âThis is the one. When I saw the body, it had already been in the water for some time. I couldnât tell
what she used to look like. I felt terrible for her and wanted to inform the authorities when I got out of
danger, but things happened, and I wasnât able to do that..
âI only remembered this after I saw the rose diamond necklace.â
âWhereâs the address?â Averyâs voice was trembling. He wanted an answer desperately.
âThe abandoned industrial areas.â
Ethan looked straight at Olivia. He knew it had happened when Leia kidnapped her. He didnât realize
she had gone through so much. He knew she mustâve been scared to be so close to a dead body.
Olivia looked at Ethan and said, âIâm indebted to Mr. Avery. This is your city. Help him out.â
Ethan saw that there was nothing between Olivia and Avery, so he didnât act petty and jealous. He
agreed, âAlright, leave it to me. Iâll get someone on it right away.â
The auction for the emerald pendants had just started. As soon as Olivia made a bid, everyone looked
toward her room.
The people present knew that Olivia was a powerful person due to the commotion that happened in
front of her room just now. So, no one placed a bid after Olivia. She was able to get the pendants back
relatively easily.
She had seen these pendants when she was a kid. But she had no idea what they were for. She only
started to grow sentimental about these items after she grew up. The pendants were important not just
because they were expensive but also because they held a lot of memories.
Olivia put the pendants away carefully. Ethan had also prepared the helicopter. He turned to look at
Olivia and said, âYou should go back and get some rest.â
Olivia wouldnât have cared about the body of a stranger. For some reason, when she thought about the
dead body on the boat, she felt a different emotion.
âIâll go take a look. The helicopter is fast; it wonât take long.â
On the helicopter, Ethan asked, âWhy didnât you tell me that you saw a dead body?â
Olivia fell silent for a while before sneering, âNothing wouldâve changed even if I had told you. Would
you have avenged me against your sister? Do you think this is all she has done to me?
âI didnât even tell you that sheâs the one who leaked my location to Mr. Carlton. She also tried to inject
poison into me that night by impersonating a doctor. If she hadnât gotten news of you finding Toxic
Hiveâs base, I wouldâve been dead.ââ
Olivia said everything in a calm tone, but Ethanâs expression changed drastically.
âLiv, Iâm sorry.â
Olivia looked at the hand she couldnât even feel and smiled. âYou donât have to apologize. You made a
choice. When you chose her, that was the end of us. Ethan, I have no choice but to live under your
protection now. But Iâm doing this for the babies. Itâs not what I want to do.â
Raising her head, she looked Ethan in the eye. Her expression was stern. âI hate Leia, but I hate you
more. If I ever get the chance, Iâll inflict the pain I felt back to you several times over.â
