Chapter 851
Even After Death
Ethan grasped the armrest tightly. During this whole time when he lost Olivia, he was worried about
Olivia and Alicia getting harmed.
Despite knowing that the items should be clean before getting sold, he couldnât help the restlessness.
When he heard the host introducing the first goods, his heart raced.
Only when he realized that it had nothing to do with Olivia did he heave a sigh of relief.
It seemed like things were going as he had expected-Flora placed Olivia as the last good.
He grabbed the armrest tightly.
Time ticked past second by second.
Due to the early teaser of decent goods, the tension wasnât high during the beginning. Everyone was
waiting for the final auction item.
In the meantime, Joshua had given Ethan water several times, but the latter didnât drink it.
When it was finally time to reveal the final item, Flora personally went onstage.
Her high heels clacked as she trodded to the middle of the stage in a red dress.
Her hot body had all of the men gawking. Some of them even whistled.
Her mask covered her malicious expression. âI bet everyone is on the edge after waiting for so long.
Weâll be revealing our final item soon.â
She clapped her hands, and her subordinates pushed over two cages that were covered with a black
cloth.
Ethanâs chest tightened.
âStop playing tricks with us. Let us see the goods!â
âI know, right? Weâve waited all night long; weâre not interested in these small theatrics. Hurry up! Show
us the good stuff!â
Floraâs gaze swept across the masks, and she could recognize Ethan right away.
The man sat amongst the crowd with his face covered with a mask. No one could see his expression.
She could only see him crossing his legs while resting his arms on the armrest confidently.
She could feel the cold aura looming from him despite the far distance.
Flora felt that the man somehow carried the air of a big shot. He did not seem like the small fry she
expected.
Now that things had escalated this far, there was no turning back for her.
Although her boss wasnât around, she knew that he was aware of what was happening on the ship.
Flora reckoned that the news of her auctioning the guests had reached his ears.
The reason why she placed Olivia as the last item was to observe what he would do.
The fact that he didnât show up to stop Flora was a silent acknowledgment of her actions.
She thought. âFigures Itâs not like the people here are any good. Thereâs no problem with me selling
this woman off
This was their territory.
As an afterthought, the final concern that bugged her was lifted off her mind.
âSorry for keeping you waiting. I promise that youâll be satisfied with the next item. Letâs count down
together.
âThree!
âTwo!
âOne!â
The deafening noise was jarring in Oliviaâs ears. Due to the two drugs in her body, she couldnât figure
out what was going on.
The only thing she could feel was the ball of flame blazing below her abdomen.
The effect kicked in later than the drug fed to Ethan. Hers had started kicking in just a little, so her walls
of consciousness were still standing.
But where was her daughter?
When the countdown finished, someone slowly removed the black cloth.
Ethan watched the two cages that confined the two people whom he treasured the most. They were
Noticing the vein on Ethanâs hands, which indicated his anger, Joshua pressed Ethanâs shoulders.
Joshua silently shook his head at Ethan.
It wasnât time yet.
