Shana was suddenly taken away, and everyone in the Fordham family was panicking. Even Troy, who was still sick in bed, struggled to get up.
Avery visited his uncle's family right away. Garrett could run, but he wouldn't be able to hide.
Unexpectedly, before Garrett could be arrested, the others received a shocking piece of news.
…
Olivia was braiding Willow's hair. Willow's hair quality was great, and her hair was dark and shiny.
Ethan was carrying a small storage case for them. The case was filled with hair ties and hair clips meant for little girls.
He handed Olivia two green bow ties. "Put these on. Green looks good on her."
Olivia took the bowties and put them in Willow's hair. Then, she planted a kiss on Willow's forehead. "You look so pretty."
Smiles lit up Willow's green eyes. She held onto Olivia with one hand and Ethan with the other. She was elated.
Kelvin rushed over to them. "Bad news, Mrs. Miller."
Olivia made a guess. "Garrett escaped?"
This was within her expectations, so Olivia wasn't surprised at all. Garrett had been plotting this for so long, so he wouldn't let the Fordhams catch him so soon. He might be planning an even greater misfortune.
"No, he's dead."
Olivia froze with the comb still in her hand. "What did you just say? He died?"
This was something Olivia never expected. It was just too surprising.
"How can that be? Could there be someone else behind him?"
Olivia recalled the person she had confronted. He looked so mysterious and powerful.
"Alright, Ethan. Give me three days. After three days, I'll go home with you, okay?"
She thought that the incident was resolved and she could leave after she treated Shana's eyes. She didn't expect something like this to crop up.
"Kelvin, look into the people who once admired Madam Fordham in the past. I feel like they didn't mean to hurt her when they took her away. Instead, they might hold affection for her instead."
"Understood, Mrs. Miller."
Olivia recalled how careful that man was toward Shana. It looked like he was treating her like a precious treasure.
Also, in the past few years, Shana had been using the skincare products he gave her. Shana had never undergone any cosmetic procedures before, but she looked even younger than her peers.
Not many people could achieve this. Of all the people Olivia knew, only Louis was capable of that.
Louis was an old man nearing his 70s, but he looked like a young man. It would be easier if she started her investigations in that direction.
