Semua Bab Even After Death: Bab 1631 - Bab 1640

Despite her frail state, Jacqueline was over the moon at the thought that the person she hated the most was going to die. Ever since their lives were switched, peace could never settle between them. Only one out of two could survive.Jacqueline knew how heavy the consequences were considering what she had done. The worst case possible would be her dying a tragic death. Either way, it wouldn't make much difference. It would just be death.Even if she beat Olivia, she would have to deal with the Fordhams, the Heaths, and the Millers. There was nowhere else she could escape to. Everything was going as she had planned. She intentionally promised Olivia to confess everything to buy some time. Meanwhile, Olivia didn't dare to act recklessly. She focused intently.There were many types of spells, and different people could cultivate different species of poisonous bugs. Still, regardless of the species, the murder could be committed only if the bug touched human skin. As long as she cou

Leia grabbed Ethan's hand. "Calm down, Ethan. We don't know what's happening to Olivia. You have to keep Jacqueline alive."He gazed at Olivia, who was lying on the floor. He was so furious that his nerves were protruding at the back of his hand, which was holding the gun tightly. No one knew how much he wished he could shoot that crazy woman at this moment. Seeing his hand slowly drooping, Jacqueline knew that she had won the bet. Olivia was the key for her to escape from here. No one dared to hurt the beloved Olivia; everyone adored her. No matter how much Ethan resented Jacqueline, his best bet was to keep her alive.There was nothing he could do right now. All he could do was to watch Willow check on Olivia. Willow gestured, "Mom's safe for now.""Do you know if Jacqueline's telling the truth?" Ethan asked. Willow shook her head. "I can't find out what kind of curse it is just by looking at Mom. But I'm sure that she's safe for now."Still, concern sat upon her brows.

Leia stopped Kelvin. "We need her alive. If she's telling the truth, Olivia's life is bound with hers. Both of them will die together."He threw the bucket away and flopped on the staircase. "Just what is all this, Ms. Miller? Mr. Miller has had it tough winning Mrs. Miller's heart back. Don't make me bring up those years she went missing. "Every single day felt so long for him. They love each other so much, but everything keeps getting in their way. And the bad guys are free out there." "I know. I understand. I know more than you do how much Ethan loves Olivia. I'm the reason they ended up this way. I want Jacqueline dead more than you do. She lied to me for so long and made me hurt Olivia. But what's done is done. We can't do anything. All we can do is to keep Jacqueline alive and wait."Kelvin's eyes were red. The last time he was this upset was the time Ethan was poisoned. No doctors could save him, and death was waiting ahead of him. Ethan managed to survive it, but now, it

Brent concocted something simple for Jacqueline. She took a spoonful of it and suddenly swept the bowl off the table. "What the hell is this? Is this even edible?"Leia slapped her. "You should be grateful that you have something to eat. You're not in the position to be picky."Jacqueline growled, "Leia Miller, I'm warning you, Olivia's life is in my hands now. If you don't treat me well, I'll kill her!"That was her only yet useful bargaining chip.Brent, who didn't know much about curses, reined in his anger. "Ms. Fordham, as you can see, this village is isolated. The villagers have never interacted with the outside world. This is what they eat every day. The rice you looked down on is the corps they cultivated with their blood, sweat, and tears. "There are no snacks or gourmet food here. Even if you ask for something better, the best cook here won't be able to make it."Jacqueline had observed how backward the village was and knew that he had a point.She suppressed her fury

Leia's face remained expressionless as she stripped Jacqueline down."You must be desperate to kill me, huh? I played you guys like fools you are. But you can't kill me. To top it off, you have to serve me too."Suddenly, Leia dunked Jacqueline's head into the water. Jacqueline held the rim of the bathtub, wriggling to break free from the coercion. But Leia wasn't going to give her the chance to do so.As the typical cruel woman, Leia waited for a while before yanking Jacqueline's hair upward. After Jacqueline barely caught a few breaths, Leia dipped her head into the water again. The torture repeated a few times.In the end, Leia grabbed Jacqueline's hair tightly. "I can't kill you, but I'm strong and have many ways to torture you. You can try me."Jacqueline's upper body was drenched. She thought her hair was going to fall off her head.The torture went on for a while, but Jacqueline let out an ambiguous smile. On the other hand, Olivia, who had been unconscious, suddenly
