Chapter 678
Even After Death
Harold looked up at Darrell with a fierce gaze in his eyes. âWhat did you say? Do you know
something?â
An innocent smile remained on Darrellâs face. âGrandpa, Iâd like to have a word with you alone. Are
you free right now?â
He was smiling, but a cold, venomous gaze filled his eyes. It sent chills down the beholderâs spine.
Harold gave him a thoughtful look. âCome to the study with me.â
Olivia helped Harold to the door. Harold only allowed Darrell and Edmund to enter while the
others waited outside.
Olivia felt a little uneasy. Haroldâs emotions were too unstable right now. After all, he was quite
old, so she feared that Harold couldnât take it.
Janice patted the back of Oliviaâs hand. âDonât worry, Mr. Harold knows what heâs doing.â
With that, she took Olivia to the terrace, where they sat down together.
Janice asked the household staff to bring them two portions of snacks. Through it all, she never
once spared Kenneth a glance.
With Janice coaxing her, Olivia ate a few snacks to relieve the discomfort in her stomach.
Joanne hurried over and spoke a few words in Janiceâs ear. Olivia hastily put down the fork in her
hand, asking, âDo they have an answer?â
Janice nodded. Lowering her voice, she said, âAccording to the autopsy, the bodies didnât belong to
Ethan and the others.â
It was only then that Olivia sighed in relief. âThatâs good to know.â
It was probably the best answer so far.
But Janice touched the bracelet on her wrist. There was a cold look in her eyes,
There wasnât anyone else at the scene, and Ethan was missing.
Darrell had visited Harold at that moment, so could it be that Ethan was in his hands? Perhaps he
wanted to use Ethan to negotiate.
Of course, Olivia thought of that as well. Was that jerk trying to piss Harold to death?
But Kenneth, the idiot, didnât know what was going on. Walking up to Janice, he said in a haughty
and commanding tone, âI want you to apologize to Jess.â
Janice glared viciously at him. Her patience had run out. âApologize my foot! Get lost!â
With that, she walked toward the study. Kenneth grabbed her arm. âWasnât I nice enough to you,
Janice?â
Olivia was wondering which part of this man attracted Janice other than his good looks.
Jessica shouted at the side, âKenny, donât hurt Janice.â
Even after acting in the over-the-top love triangle for years, Jessica didnât seem to tire of it.
In the study, Harold was sitting in the chair. Darrell stood like a grade schooler listening to a
lecture.
âGrandpa, this must be our first time talking at such a close distance, right?â
Darrell was trying to play the family card. Harold could see from a glance that Darrell would never
be on his side.
Darrell was completely different from Ethan.
Ethan was reserved, and he hid all his emotions in his heart. Darrell looked obedient, but he was
the best at betraying people.
Harold always disliked people like that.
âGet straight to the point. What do you want to talk to me about, traitor? Donât think that I donât
know what youâre trying to do. You can quit the grandson act now.â
Darrell put a hand to his chest, pretending to look sad.
âOh, Grandpa, Iâm your grandson after all. How can you be so cold to me? I feel so hurt.â
He sighed. But then, when he looked up again, he already had a cocky look on his face.
âNever mind, you donât have much time left anyway, Grandpa. I wonât waste my time on a dying. man
like you.
âIâm here to talk to you about the inheritance rights to the Miller family. â
