Chapter 629
Even After Death
In an underground garage, Darrell stood there with a stormy expression. His phone was called by a
virtual number.
He picked up and said coldly, âIf you want to make fun of me. I suggest you keep it to yourself.â
âIâm calling to offer you a job.â
âOh?â
âI know you have spent a lot of money over the years. I have a billion-dollar job. Interested?â
âTell me about it.â
The man over the phone said slowly, âIâll give you a billion dollars if you kill Olivia Fordham for me.â
In the CEOâs office, Olivia turned to look at the man. âWhat is it? Do we have a new lead?â
âNo leads on the person, yet. But itâs about time we end this. Do you want to come along and watch the
show?â
Olivia blinked and asked, âCan I really?â
âOf course. They are the ones that should apologize, not you.â
Ethan finished dealing with work and personally drove Olivia to the beach.
The sun was setting, and Olivia could make out the horizon.
She had an inherent fear of the sea. Her heart rate spiked as they got closer to the sea.
Ethan knew what was troubling her. He played soothing music and said, âWeâre almost there.â
âOkay.â
Olivia tried to divert her attention by going through social media on her phone. After a while, they
arrived at the Sunset
Mansion.
Olivia had a late dinner, so her stomach started to hurt.
Ethan noticed that she was walking slower. He turned back to look at her anxiously. âWhatâs wrong?â
Olivia knew Ethan had something important to do. She endured the pain and said, âIâm fine. Itâs just a
little chilly. Letâs go inside.â
Olivia had asked Madam Burgess if she had any illnesses in the past, and Madam Burgess told her
that she used to be healthy.
She was weakened by the premature birth, but her stomach should be fine.
So, Olivia didnât think the pain was anything serious. She thought it was probably some minor gastric
issue, so she didnât bring it up. Olivia entered the room while holding back the pain in her stomach.
When she entered the room, she was met with a gust of warm air. But the smell of blood in the air
made Olivia, whose stomach was already in discomfort, retched.
âLiv.â
Olivia didnât vomit. It was probably because she had an empty stomach. She forced a smile and said,
âIâm fine.â
Olivia looked at the living room. The smell of blood came from that direction. There were several
bodyguards in the spacious living room.
A woman was lying on the floor. Oliviaâs gaze fell on the womanâs legs. They were prosthetics. The
woman was covered in her own blood. It made the place look messy and bloody.
A seemingly elegant middle-aged man quickly stood. âMr. Miller, youâve arrived. I was just teaching this
bitch a lesson. Iâm sorry that you had to witness such an unsightly display.â
The man was Diego. Even though he was a middle-aged man, he didnât look like a typical aging man.
His face and figure were still in decent condition. He was probably a very handsome man in his youth.
Olivia would think he was a friendly older gentleman if there wasnât blood on his hands and his white
shirt.
âThis must be Mrs. Miller, comeâ¦â Diegoâs gaze fell on Olivia, and he lost his voice. He instinctively
looked at the woman on the floor and returned to his senses after several seconds.
âCome, have a seat.â
Olivia asked politely, âIs there any hot water?â
âOf course, right this way.â
Diego kicked the woman on the floor when he walked past her.
After a while, the maids served some fruits, snacks, and all sorts of beverages.
The pain in Oliviaâs stomach subsided after she drank some warm water and ate some of the snacks to
ease her hunger..
Diego said apologetically, âIâm sorry, Mr. Miller. I didnât expect this bitch to have the audacity to make a
move against the Miller Group and you.
âI apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please name your price.â
Diego was much older than Ethan, but he was very humble.
Ethan raised a hand to silence Diego. He looked at the woman on the floor and asked coldly, âIs she
dead?â
âOf course not, Mr Miller. You asked me to keep her alive, so I spared her life.â
âWake her. I have some questions for her.â
âUnderstood.â
Although Olivia felt they were a little cruel, she knew Ethan well. He didnât need to push others so hard.
So, Olivia just watched and didnât speak up to stop them.
A bucket of salt water was splashed on the woman, and she regained consciousness from the pain.
The woman screamed in pain. When she raised her head, the first thing she saw was the woman
sitting next to Ethan.
