Chapter 957
Even After Death
âMr. Miller, youâve been busy with work these days. Youâre even losing your sleep and appetite over
Mrs. Miller. Your injuries havenât completely healed yet. What will we do if you collapse?â Brent said.
Ever since Ethanâs identity was exposed in the dark web, Miller Group had also taken a hit.
The company had a lot of subsidiaries. Recently, a lot of them, such as the real estate arm and the
F&B arm, experienced some trouble.
Some people were manipulating things from the shadows. They were from all sorts of shadowy
organizations.
When running a business, the scariest threats came from the ones hiding in the dark. Even Bryan had
received word of what was happening.
âIf this goes on, your losses will be overwhelming. Whatâs your next move?â
âYou know me. Itâs going to be an eye for an eye. Iâll make them pay a hundred times over.â
Ethan sneered. âHe knows I have the dirt on those people. Heâll only lose if this goes on. Thatâs why he
got desperate and tried to make a move on the Miller family and Liv.
âBut he didnât expect me to let Liv go free. So, even I donât know where she is. Needless to say, no one
else knows. Without my biggest weakness, what else can he possibly do?â
Initially, everything was part of the plan. Sending Olivia away meant he could do whatever he needed
to without any reservations.
The only uncertainty was Jack. If Jack was on his side, he would emerge victorious. But if Jack had
ulterior motives, he would be defeated because of Olivia.
âNot being able to find Olivia might not be a bad thing. Weâll only have to trust that Jack has no ill intent.
âIf he really wanted to do anything malicious, he had many chances to do so in the past two years. Your
twins were with him the whole time, but he didnât do anything to them.â
Ethan sighed. âI hope so.â
He could only hope that everything would go as he had planned without any more accidents.
He thought, âLiv, you have to stay safe.â
As if sensing Ethanâs thoughts, Olivia woke up abruptly and gasped for breath. She actually heard the
heart -wrenching cries of a baby in her dreams.
There was a person standing a short distance away from her. The mask was reflecting the moonlight.
The twins were sleeping next to Olivia. She placed a hand on her chest in fright.
âW-What do you need?â
Jack probably didnât expect her to wake up.
Olivia couldnât see his expression because his face was hidden behind the mask.
For some reason, maybe it was the dim lighting, Olivia felt like Jack was looking at her in a weird way.
âItâs nothing. I just heard you talking, so I came in to check. Were you having a nightmare?â
âYeah.â Olivia wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She didnât feel like sleeping anymore after such
a scare.
âWhy donât we step outside?â
She always had questions for Jack but never had the opportunity to ask. They finally had a moment of
peace.
The insects were chirping outside. It was the middle of summer in the southern hemisphere.
The town was very poor, and it was especially obvious at night. It was dark everywhere, unlike the city.
where lights were all around.
There was a lone lightbulb at the entrance of the town. Its dim light could only illuminate a small area,
but it attracted a lot of moths.
âIs it cold?â Jack asked.
Olivia sat down on the steps of the door and looked at the starry night sky.
She shook her head and said, âIâm fine. Jack, doesnât this feel like we were back on the island?â
âYeah, when Tom and Jerry were still there.â
âI met Jerry some time ago. Heâs about to go to university. Heâs a promising kid and has a bright future
ahead of him.
âI heard that Tom has been going out on missions. Heâs a very impressive young man, too.â
Olivia was reminiscing.
âJack, thereâs a question Iâve been meaning to ask.â
