Even After Death Novel (Olivia) novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241

Surprisingly, Ethan wasn’t mad. Instead, he tossed away the cigarette in his hand.

Olivia was about to leave, but he didn’t stop her. His voice rang coldly in the air. “Olivia, you’d better not be lying.”

He stared straight at Olivia, who was leaving. He thought that she would come back, but she didn’t even turn around.

The wind put out the last bits of ember from the cigarette stub. Olivia was already gone from the rooftop. Ethan looked up at the night sky above him. Heavy clouds covered the sky, so only a few stars could be seen.

“What exactly is Olivia hiding?” he wondered.

He thought of her words that day. If Jeff wasn’t the one who killed Leia, then who could it be?

“Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller has been gone for a while now.” Standing in the dark, Brent looked just like Ethan’s shadow.

Ethan heaved a long sigh. “Brent, I want to reinvestigate Leia’s incident.”

“Is it for Mrs. Miller’s sake?” Brent couldn’t understand.

The incident was already set in stone, and it was also Ethan’s greatest taboo. Usually, he wouldn’t allow anyone to mention it, much less do anything about it.

If he wanted to reinvestigate the matter, he would be reopening his wounds. It might be many times more painful than last time.

Ethan replied, “It happened too suddenly back then. The evidence seemed solid, but I was furious when I made the decision back then.

“In the two years that followed, I lost myself in the sorrow of losing Leia, and I blamed Leia’s death on her. If …” Ethan’s arm trembled for an instant. “If it truly wasn’t Jeff, how should I face her?”

Many aspects of the incident weren’t analyzed. Ethan was especially sensitive about this topic, so everyone had been avoiding it without another thought.

“Mr. Miller, there’s evidence for what happened back then. Don’t think too much about it.”

Ethan looked at Brent. “What’s Jeff like to you?”

Brent replied, “Putting this incident aside, he used to be gentle and elegant. He was also friendly and generous. He was a good father, someone passionate about life.

“If not for that incident, I would think he’s a good man.”

“How long did that person take to prepare everything? Is it a male or a female? What objectives do they have?

“If they wanted to separate you and Mrs. Miller, they’ve already achieved their goal. But recently, there haven’t been any changes to your life, Mr. Miller.

“You didn’t even meet anyone new.”

Ethan rubbed his temples. He sullenly puffed out a cloud of white smoke.

Brent patted him on the shoulder. “You need to sleep. You’ve been too tired for the past few years.”

“Fine, this incident ends here. Let’s go back” Ethan put out his cigarette, then left the rooftop dejectedly.

Brent was right. Every part of the incident had solid proof, so nothing could’ve gone wrong. He shouldn’t waste time on these things.

If Olivia wanted to investigate it, he wouldn’t stop her from doing whatever she wante
