Semua Bab Even After Death: Bab 1451 - Bab 1460

Olivia opposed Mason's suggestion without a second thought. "Grandpa, if I was interested in him, I wouldn't have run away from him. I don't plan on getting married again.""Fine." His eyes lost their glint to disappointment, but he didn't force her. "Alright, I won't force you. I just hope you can be happy every day. Don't forget about the party tomorrow. Do you like the gown?""Yes, it's pretty. I have a request about this, Grandpa. I don't wish for the kids to join.""You have a point. We have to protect the kids.""Grandpa, I don't know if that person would choose to make a move tomorrow or not. She hates me with her guts. She'll never miss the chance to kill me."Mason put his paintbrush down. "Don't you worry, child. Her appearance is exactly what I'm asking for. If she has the nerve to come, I'll make sure she won't be able to return in one piece. I've told Linus to tighten the security."She sighed. "It's highly possible that she's related to my real family. Grandpa, do y

Compared to Molly's awkwardness, Olivia appeared rather relaxed.There were some familiar faces among the well-dressed guests. They were Jeff's old friends.The moment they saw Olivia, they were a tad puzzled. Although it had been years since they last met, they could recognize her at one glance."Olivia?" One of them approached her.Olivia had a deep impression of Tyrell Monroe. He had set up the Fordham family before.Jeff had invited Tyrell to his home for project discussions many times before, and they called themselves close friends.When the Fordham family was announced bankrupt, Olivia needed money to pay Jeff's hospital bills. The helpless Olivia reached out to Jeff's acquaintances one by one to borrow money.Forget about borrowing money, all of them rejected Olivia because they didn't have the nerve to offend the Miller family.Jeff's closest friend was Tyrell, so Olivia went to Tyrell's place with confidence, only to be shunned.Left with no choice, she knelt by the

In fact, Olivia would've forgotten about the issue if Tyrell hadn't brought it up.It was already in the past.She could understand his stance. He was simply protecting himself, so she had never thought of revenge.However, the Monroes had life so easy these years that they had forgotten what kind of place this was.Tyrell was now picking fault with her simply because she ignored his facade. Since he wasn't giving in, Olivia figured that there was no need for her to back down. "Uncle Tyrell, you were a member of the Bureau of Land and Resources when you first met my father. "Back then, you tried to earn favors from him because you wanted to climb higher. It was thanks to my father that you were able to become the head of the Municipal Planning Bureau."I don't wish for you to remember my father's goodwill. When my family went bankrupt and he was in the hospital in need of money for surgery, I visited your place. You were at home, but you chose to avoid me."I can understand t

"It's been a while." Olivia remembered the time Calvin helped her, hence the approachable attitude.Now that Olivia was so laid-back talking to others while ignoring the Monroes, Millie spouted meanly, "You do know a lot of men, Ms. Fordham. I wonder who you came with today."Olivia faintly smiled in response. "Why must I come with a man? Can't I come on my own? Are you perhaps self-projecting? You rely on man to climb higher and so you expect others to be the same."Millie noticed that Olivia came empty-handed. There wasn't a bag, let alone an invitation. "Are you here to catfish others? Ms. Fordham, do you know what kind of party this is?"The ladies began whispering to each other. Although the men kept quiet, their eyes on Olivia weren't friendly. "Who said that she doesn't have an invitation? She came with us. We were classmates." Calista stood up for Olivia.Olivia was slightly surprised to see Calista defending her.Still, it was a feeble statement to sell to the bystande

Everyone's gaze shifted from Olivia to Calista in a heartbeat. She gulped.Mason said gently, "It's alright. Just tell us what you saw."Despite his high status, he was as gentle as an elderly man next door.She looked at Calvin, who was at his wit's end.Chris gave Calvin the opportunity to attend today's party, but it seemed like this could serve as his last party too.Accepting his fate inwardly, Chris prompted, "Go ahead. Tell them the truth."Calista recounted the entirety of the situation.Millie wasn't happy about that. "Mr. Heath, this lady was classmates with Ms. Fordham. Her story could be biased.""Biased? Didn't you insinuate that Olivia earned the right to come because of her sugar daddy? Everything you said hinted that this isn't a place for her. You're relying on your influence to bully her.""Enough." Calvin quickly stopped Calista, his words carrying an undertone."I'm sorry for disturbing your peace with this trivial matter, Mr. Heath. If I had known catchin
