Chapter 869
Even After Death
Keith sighed. âAlright, I give up. Iâll send you my account number in a bit. Take care of yourself.â
âWill do. Keith, thanks for your help in the past year,â Olivia said sincerely.
If not for him, she wouldnât be able to get to where she was. She also wouldnât have been reunited with
her daughter.
Compared to the life filled with despair that she previously led, she was already in a much better place.
Keith was at a loss for words. He didnât know how to explain his situation. âYou donât have to thank me.
I didnât do much. Anyway, stay safe out there.â
Keithâs palms were covered in sweat when he hung up.
Irene leaned over and asked, âHow was it? Did Olivia get suspicious?â
âI donât think so. After all, she probably doesnât know who else couldâve helped her other than me.â
Irene sighed in resignation. âI feel bad about lying to Olivia. Sheâll be so sad if she finds out we lied to
her.
That damned Ethan. How did he find out Olivia was still alive?
âThinking about it sends shivers down my spine. That man is too manipulative. He actually held a
funeral and kneeled before the grave for an entire day just to convince Olivia he thought she was dead.
I donât know if itâs a good thing or not to be loved by such an obsessive man.â
âLove has always been a double-edged sword. In moderation, it brings happiness. If not, itâd be hell. Itâs
our fault for failing to protect Olivia. Now, we can only do as he says.
Keith was dumbfounded when he received the call in the morning. He thought they had fooled
everyone, but Ethan had known about what they were doing all along.
âBut he isnât taking a forceful approach this time. I hope he has really learned his lesson and will treat
Olivia better.â
Keith sighed. âI hope so too.â
Then, he took out his phone to contact Ethan and tell him about Oliviaâs demand.
Ethan was relatively courteous when he talked to Keith. He provided Keith with an account number.
Then, he thanked him sincerely.
Irene sighed in relief and scratched her head. âSo this is why everything has been going our way this
year. My momâs business has been doing very well. She received several large orders. I thought it was
just pure
Keith also thought about his relatives who were in Arlandia. Especially his father, who had called him
several times recently. He seemed to be in high spirits.
Ethan was a great ally to have but a terrifying enemy to go up against.
At the moment, Keith and Ireneâs hands were tied. They could only pray for Oliviaâs safety.
Ethan was on an unnamed island near Aldenvine.
Other than to soothe Oliviaâs emotions, there was another reason why Ethan left her side. He had a lot
of work that needed his attention. So, he was busy taking care of that.
Kelvin took off his mask. He had a bright smile on his face.
âI bet that man must have seen the state Cherno is in by now. The ship is completely worthless now. I
destroyed everything I could get my hands on,â Kelvin said..
âThe boatâs value isnât the most important thing. This incident has caused him to get on the bad side of
everyone on the ship. Some of them are bound to go after him.
âEven if he manages to get another ship up and running, the customers wonât trust him again. His
business is completely ruined.â
Kelvin smiled and said, âWe spent a few hundred million dollars to cause billions in damages. Itâs totally
worth it!
The most important thing is I donât like that brat. Heâs always plotting against you. This should humble
him a bit. I hope he learns his lesson.â
Ethan wasnât as optimistic. He looked into the distance and said, âHeâs not so weak that he would back
down with just this. Heâll definitely try to retaliate.
