Chapter 868
Even After Death
Joshuaâs explanation sounded bulletproof at first, but Olivia had her suspicions. The amount required
was over 300 million dollars, not three thousand or 30 thousand.
Besides, no one knew how high the bid was going to get. The money Keith had to lend would be more
than 300 million dollars.
Keithâs family was well-off, but he came from a family of doctors. Did they even have several hundred
million in cash?
She was just a friend, not his lover.
Also, how did he get in contact with the mercenaries? It wasnât out of the realm of possibility for Keith,
but it didnât seem like something he would do.
But who would help her out other than Keith? It couldnât be Ethan, could it?
Olivia shook her head when she thought about him. He was still in Vuckburg. He couldnât get there in
time even if he wanted to.
If it were indeed Ethan, he wouldâve taken her away. He wouldnât allow her and her child to roam free.
âYes. It was a very close call. Logan and I tried all sorts of ways to gather the money. Mr. Rogers was
also panicking. We couldnât have saved you if he didnât somehow get that money.â
Olivia was stunned. âThat much moneyâ¦â
âThatâs why I say Mr. Rogers is such a reliable man. He came through when we needed him the most.
In the situation you were in, we probably couldnât have saved you if someone else won the bid on you.â
Joshua continued to describe the situation vividly.
Olivia only knew she had been rescued. She didnât know that the luxurious cruise ship had been
destroyed.
What did its passengers go through?
Ethan, vengeful as he was, gave every man who spoke ill of Olivia a beating. They would be bedridden
for weeks after they got off the ship.
âWhere did L-Logan go?â Olivia finally asked.
Joshua scratched his head and said, âLogan told me that his agreement with you was he would leave
when you arrived somewhere safe, Ms. Fordham. He told me to keep you safe. As per the agreement,
he has left.â
Olivia knew Logan did it for her sake. He didnât want her to feel awkward in his presence, so he chose
to leave.
She really didnât know what to say about him.
âSorry for the trouble.â
âYou donât have to be so courteous, Ms. Fordham. Iâm very close with Logan. Besides, I get paid
helping him take care of you. Itâs a good thing for me too.â
Olivia took her phone out and called Keith. She needed some answers.
âOlivia, how are you? Are you okay? Logan contacted me out of the blue last night. I didnât know why
something so horrible would happen. It was so scary,â Keith said in a gentle tone.
Was it really Keith who helped her out?
âHow did you manage to come up with so much money?â
âI borrowed some from the Tuckers. Money doesnât mean much compared to your safety.â
Olivia frowned. âGive me your account number. Iâll transfer you the money in a bit.â
âYouâre in Aldenvine now. Ethan will know if you move the money.â
âI donât care about that. I canât hide forever. I canât just let you spend so much money for my sake. Itâs
not a couple hundred dollars weâre talking about.â
That was a huge amount of cash. It could cause Keithâs family business to become illiquid. Or if he had
to borrow the money from loan sharks, he would incur a lot of debt based on interest alone.
Besides, Keith took care of the expenses in the six months she was recovering from chemotherapy. He
also arranged everything for the cruise back to Aldenvine.
They were not even relatives. He was also not running a charity. Olivia had been feeling bad about
relying on him so much.
âItâs fine, really. Your safety comes first.â
âGive me your account number, or Iâll just bring the money to your house.â
