Semua Bab Even After Death: Bab 1621 - Bab 1630

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; a ruthless person should be handled by another ruthless person.Jacqueline couldn't believe her ears when Leia requested to have her handed over.Even if the Fordhams resented her to the bones, they upheld morality. But Leia was different. She was the most cruel person among the researchers in Toxic Hive.To make things worse, Jacqueline had a record of harming Avery and lying to her. Leia would never let Jacqueline off the hook that easily.On top of that, Leia wouldn't show mercy when it came to the interrogation. Jacqueline was dead meat."No, Dad! Guys, don't hand me over to her for old times' sake. She's a monster!"The Fordhams, who were hesitant at first, made up their mind when they noticed how much Leia feared Jacqueline.Wearing a lifeless expression, Leia slowly walked up to Jacqueline.Jacqueline attempted to escape, but Linus was quick enough to yank her back. The murderous intent loomed over her.His towering stature and

Dark clouds layered even before the night dawned. It was going to rain soon.Olivia rushed to the mansion in the suburbs. Before she arrived, she could already see men guarding the area.Other than men from the Fordham family, some bodyguards worked for the Miller and Heath families.Jacqueline was "lucky" in a sense.Men from three families watched the vicinity. Not even a rat could sneak into the building.Kelvin opened the car door. Ethan got out of the car with Willow in his arms.She was an independent child, but he was used to carrying her around. "Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller, Ms. Willow." It warmed Kelvin's heart to see them together.Everyone knew what kind of hardships they had gone through to come this far.Finally, there was a rainbow after the rain."How's Jacqueline doing?""Ms. Leia is inside. She doesn't allow us to enter, but…" Kelvin paused momentarily. "I don't think Jacqueline's doing fine. We can hear her screaming from the outside. Ms. Leia is one cruel wom

Jacqueline licked her chapped lips. "You know something? I felt sorry for you at first. I even had the urge to do something to make up for it. But I realized that you were living a good life in Aldenvine. You're smart and pretty. It's clear that you've inherited the genes from the Fordham family perfectly. You made me seem like a fool."I felt angry and secretly compared myself to you. I wanted to win you in everything, but you were beyond my reach. Even if it was just hobbies, you became the top in the field so easily. My effort seemed to be nothing in comparison."Your father and the people around you loved you. You skipped grades and made a breakthrough. People called you the talented doctor. There was also a man like Ethan who loved you. Even though our identities were switched, luck was always on your side. You have the best in everything in life."Olivia gave her an indifferent gaze, finding that hilarious. "So you think that I should apologize to you?""That gaze again, huh?

Olivia looked at Jacqueline with a disdainful smile. "Scared? I thought you didn't feel fear. I won't kill you, Jacqueline. I'll make you watch your hard-won prizes vanish from your sight. You should know how it feels like to be at your wit's end.""You can't do this to me, Olivia! This is torture! This is against humanity!""Humanity? Why should I treat you like a human?" Olivia yanked Jacqueline over by the wrist. Jacquline couldn't break free due to the chains, and she was barely breathing from Leia's torture before Olivia's arrival. All she could do was to watch Olivia inject the cold liquid into her arm. The syringe soon emptied. "I wanted to kill you even before I found out that you were my enemy." Olivia flung away Jacqueline's arm. Olivia pinched Jacqueline's chin. "I know you're smart. Family is not the thing you care about the most. Love is not it either. It's an abundance of wealth and power. You worked so hard just to escape from poverty, that poor place you were bo

Things became awkward. Now, Jacqueline felt as humiliated as she felt confident a while ago.Similar to Olivia, Deborah and Jacqueline had never gotten involved in the army, hence their fixed mindset to fight spells with spells. Little did they know, flamethrowers could put an end to those bugs. The whole process took less than a minute. It was so quick that Jacquline was left dumbfounded. She had personally witnessed how powerful those bugs could be. Yet, it didn't take long and much to exterminate them!Jacqueline became agitated. "I'll drag you to hell with me, Olivia!"Olivia was unbothered. "Enough. Your reinforcements have been completely annihilated. You'd better be honest with me, or I'll put you on the operating table."Feeling defeated, Jacqueline leaned against the wall. After a moment of contemplation, she slowly said, "Fine. There's not much I can tell you about Brandon. He's a mystery. He works with us simply to achieve his temporary objectives. "It was kinda funn
