Even After Death Novel (Olivia) novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65

Everly’s first reaction upon seeing Ethan was to cower. She might have been bold and outspoken at the event, but she was only bolstered by the effect of alcohol and Olivia’s presence.

She bore witness to Ethan’s deep love for Olivia, and she knew that he could be deeply cruel toward outsiders.

Two years ago, she brought Olivia to a bar. When Ethan picked up Olivia, he shot Everly an icy look when Olivia wasn’t looking and warned, “This is the last time.”

She was drenched in cold sweat when Ethan left, and she was haunted by the look in his eyes for a few nights in her dreams.

Back to the present, Ethan shut the lighter and casually glanced at her, but it was enough to make her tense up.

She gulped and said in a hushed voice, “Um, Mr. Miller, I’m looking for Liv. I’ll excuse myself now.”

He shook off the cigarette ashes and gave her a look from the corner of his eye. “Let’s chat.”

She knew it wasn’t going to be a casual chat, and as a result, she was reluctant to engage with him. “Well, it’s very late at night. How about we chat next time? Promise.”

She was ready to flee but turned around and bumped into Brent, whom she secretly described as Ethan’s hitman.

Brent said to her, “Please, Ms. Hilton.”

Close to tears, she followed them to a nearby cafe. She couldn’t stop shaking her legs after she was seated, causing the table to

rattle as well.

Ethan’s suffocating silence and his unreadable eyes spooked Everly. She couldn’t tell if he trusted her words, and she wondered how Olivia managed to live with a man who barely showed his emotions.

“Well, I can swear on my life. If there was something between Liv and Keith, I’d be crushed by a car!”

He finally looked at her but remained expressionless. She gritted her teeth and swore, “I’d be forever alone if that happened!”

He seemed to think that wasn’t brutal enough and added to the curse, “You’d be broke for life.”

Ethan was shrewd enough to hit her where it hurt. She clenched her jaw and said, “Fine! I’d be broke for life if that happened.”
