Ch. 1451..1460

Even After Death Chapter 1451-Olivia opposed Mason's suggestion without a second thought.

"Grandpa, if I was interested in him, I wouldn't have run away from him.

I don't plan on getting married again. ""Fine."" His eyes lost their glint to disappointment, but he didn't force her."" Alright, I won't force you."

I just hope you can be happy every day.

Don't forget about the party tomorrow.

Do you like the gown?" "Yes, it's pretty.

I have a request about this, Grandpa.

I don't wish for the kids to join." "You have a point.

We have to protect the kids." "Grandpa, I don't know if that person would choose to make a move tomorrow or not.

She hates me with her guts.

She'll never miss the chance to kill me." Mason put his paintbrush down.

"Don't you worry, child.

Her appearance is exactly what I'm asking for.

If she has the nerve to come, I'll make sure she won't be able to return in one piece.

I've told Linus to tighten the security. She sighed."

"It's highly possible that she's related to my real family.

Grandpa, do you not know where Grandma is? Could it have something to do with something that happened during her grandmother's or her father's generation? Finding her grandmother might shed light on the truth."

"She left without saying goodbye that year.

I hired a lot of men to search for her, but a tsunami separated US again.

If I had held her hands tighter, she wouldn't have left me. novelbin Until today, the sheer thought of the scene hit home so hard."

Mason's features contorted in grief, just like when Rose watched Jake sink into the deep sea in Titanic.

It was undeniable that humans were nothing compared to nature.

All Mason could do was to watch the wild waves devour the woman he loved.

He was washed to another city.

He searched for Natalie in many cities, but it was in vain.

At an age where letters were the only means of communication, it was difficult to find someone who had gone missing.

"It was all my fault.

I let your grandmother down. No one knew if Natalie survived or not, and Mason eventually lost hope."

In the end, he met Tatiana and became a matrilocal son-in-law.

The two then built a family together.

Tatiana was aware that there was someone else that Mason held dearly in his heart, but it didn't bother her since she assumed that Natalie was dead.

Yet, who would've known that Natalie was still alive and even gave birth to Mason's son? Recently, Mason kept thinking back about the times he spent with Natalie.

He wondered how she got out of the sea and where she went thereafter.

"Grandpa, I don't know what happened to you guys that year, but everything is written in the stars.

It's been so long.

You should get over it. ""Your grandmother hates me."

I'm sure of it.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed hidden for so many years.

There was no news about her at all." Olivia patted Mason's shoulders.

Grandpa, I believe that we'll be able to find her someday. Even if Natalie had married and built a family, Mason wished to see her one more time.

"Olivia, it's getting late.

Rest up.

I'll protect you. The next day, the kids were in high spirits even when the sky wasn't bright yet."

Even the quiet Willow was following Alicia around in the yard, watching Connor do his daily training.

Olivia watched them from the second floor.

Alicia greeted with crescent eyes, "Morning, Mom!" Supporting her chin with her palm, Olivia returned a sweet smile.

Morning, babies.

Even After Death Chapter 1452-Unlike Olivia, Molly wasn't in a good mood.

Molly ran to Olivia.

"Olivia, Yale didn't return last night.

I don't feel good about this. Olivia knew exactly why Yale didn't return home."

He didn't want to worry Molly with his appearance after getting beaten up by Gordon.

"New Year's coming soon.

It's not just Yale; Ethan is busy too.

Don't worry, Aunt Molly.

Look at Uncle Linus.

He works overtime every day, doesn't he? ""But—"" ""No buts."

What you have to do now is get a good rest and get some skincare glow-up.

Someone will come over at noon for your hairdo.

You're the main character today.

You should be all dolled up." Molly was older than Olivia by a few years, but she appeared like the younger one in front of Olivia.

Olivia had to comfort her like the elder one.

"The guests are prominent figures.

How could we let them see a haggard Ms.

Heath? Before this, Krystal always looked at others with her nose up high, so you have to show them what you got.

From today onward, you'll be Ms.

Heath.

Don't worry about anything.

Yale will surely show up tonight. Only then was Molly willing to calm down."

Olivia couldn't intervene too much in Molly's business as her plate was full.

Everyone in this world had their own business to deal with.

Speaking of, it had been a while since Olivia attended a party.

Her marriage with Ethan was unknown novelbin to the public, and they went through many breakups after that.

Her prime was before the Fordham family announced bankruptcy.

Mason gifted Molly some gowns and prepared a few pieces for Olivia as well.

His daughter and granddaughter were equally important to him.

Olivia chose a nude gown that reached her shins.

Aside from her exposed arms, it was quite a conservative dress.

Her fashion taste had become more conservative after she became a mother.

Still, her fair skin complemented the dress well.

Even though it was the simplest design in the batch, it outlined her curves very well.

She put on light makeup and pinned her hair up.

Next, she wore a pearl necklace, which was a present from Tatiana as a token of gratitude.

The pearls willed away her cold demeanor, and she was drop-dead gorgeous.

Her appearance drew the eyes of all men.

Being rich wasn't enough for one to be invited to the party.

The attending guests wielded a certain extent of power and authority.

The men here had all sorts of opportunities to see beautiful ladies, but they couldn't help but be attracted to Olivia.

While Molly was as gentle and delicate as a daisy, Olivia was a rose that could never hide her sophisticated beauty.

When the two ladies showed up, the people couldn't shift their eyes away from Olivia.

Everyone began gushing, not understanding the Heaths' intention.

It was a party meant for Mason's daughter, yet there was no sign of Krystal anywhere.

In fact, news of Krystal's incident was buried, so no one knew what had transpired within the household this entire time.

Molly pulled Olivia's hand.

"Olivia, they're looking at us.

I'm nervous. During her days with the Kingston family, Molly had never attended such parties because her adoption was simply a charity act for publicity."

She couldn't get used to the attention at the moment.

Many of the guests were the people she had seen on TV.

They were graceful and well-mannered.

"Relax.

You'll be attending such parties often in the future. Olivia patted Molly's hand."

"The reporters aren't here today.

This is just an internal party meant to announce your identity.

You don't have to hide anymore.

Walk with your head high.

Grandpa will announce your identity soon."

Even After Death Chapter 1453-Compared to Molly's awkwardness, Olivia appeared rather relaxed.

There were some familiar faces among the well-dressed guests.

They were Jeff's old friends.

The moment they saw Olivia, they were a tad puzzled.

Although it had been years since they last met, they could recognize her at one glance.

Olivia? One of them approached her.

Olivia had a deep impression of Tyrell Monroe.

He had set up the Fordham family before.

Jeff had invited Tyrell to his home for project discussions many times before, and they called themselves close friends.

When the Fordham family was announced bankrupt, Olivia needed money to pay Jeff's hospital bills.

The helpless Olivia reached out to Jeff's acquaintances one by one to borrow money.

Forget about borrowing money, all of them rejected Olivia because they didn't have the nerve to offend the Miller family.

Jeff's closest friend was Tyrell, so Olivia went to Tyrell's place with confidence, only to be shunned.

Left with no choice, she knelt by the door in the hope of meeting Tyrell in person.

It was pouring heavily that day.

Although she knelt until she fainted, she didn't have the opportunity to meet him at all.

Who knew the next time they would meet was at the Heaths' party? That was 11 years ago.

Tyrell had long stepped down from his position.

He was here to introduce his son, who became the vice mayor at a young age.

His son had a bright future ahead, and Tyrell was determined to pave the path for his son.

Olivia's appearance took him by surprise.

After all, the Fordham family had fallen a long time ago.

There was a hearsay about the return of Fordham Group, but the owner was someone else.

Jeff had novelbin already passed away.

Similarly, Olivia didn't expect to run into Tyrell here.

Olivia hadn't contacted Tyrell for a long time.

"Long time no see, Mr.

Tyrell, she greeted indifferently, no longer the same person who knelt by his doorstep that year."

That day, he told the butler to inform her that he was out on a business trip.

In actuality, he was in the house watching her.

"It is you! You've gotten prettier.

I'm glad to see you all well.

I'm sorry about what happened that year.

I was on a business trip, and my subordinates were incompetent.

How could they tell me that Jeff was hospitalized and needed money only when I returned? Jeez. Olivia was fully aware that this kind of person had a way with words and escaping blame."

If Tyrell had genuinely wished to help the Fordham family, she wouldn't have needed to go looking for him in person.

How pretentious.

Now, she was no longer the cautious rabbit that had to walk on thin ice around everybody.

Olivia smiled faintly.

"Is that so? You gained so much benefit from my father in the past.

Even one percent of it would've been enough to cover his medical bills back then, but you didn't even want to see me.

What's the use of sugarcoating the matter? I'm 28 this year, not 18. Never in Tyrell's wildest dream had he imagined Olivia to be this blunt."

People usually put on a facade during parties like this.

However, there was one thing he overlooked—Olivia didn't have to be a goodytwo-shoes anymore.

He didn't respond to that.

His wife, Millie, joined the conversation instead.

"How could you say that, Ms.

Fordham? We were sad that your family was in trouble.

Tyrell was really on a business trip back then.

It seems like money wasn't the only thing your family lost."

You've also lost basic manners.

Look at the way you're acting.

Lending a hand is not an obligation but an act of will.

Are you trying to guilt-trip us?" "Sorry, Olivia.

My wife is usually outspoken." The couple took up the roles of the bad guy and the good guy.

Tyrell, what's going on? Someone came up to him.

This person was obviously trying to get in Tyrell's good books.

"Nothing, I just ran into an old friend.

Remember the Fordham family? The one that went bankrupt 11 years ago?"

Despite his gentle demeanor, his words were rubbing salt on Olivia's wound.

Even After Death Chapter 1454-Back then, the Fordham family was quite well-known in Aldenvine.

Many pitied them when they suddenly announced bankruptcy.

After that, Olivia disappeared as well.

If no one brought the family up, everyone might've soon forgotten about the Fordhams.

That family was the water cooler talk for a long while.

It was a mystery how Jeff offended Ethan, leading to the Fordhams' downfall.

It was a heart-wrenching story.

People wouldn't bring this up on this occasion since they had to maintain their pride.

However, Olivia's remarks had raised Tyrell's hackles.

As someone who had retired from a high position, he was held with high regard everywhere he went.

Now that Olivia had embarrassed him, he wished he could do something to regain his pride again.

Considering how Jeff was someone beneath his station in the past, he perceived Olivia as a mere small fry.

He simply assumed that she was all puffed up because of his initiative to approach her.

The higher one climbed the ladder, the lower their tolerance was.

If they enjoyed high social status, they would bear no room for disobedience.

They only served the people who were more powerful than them.

Humans were born this way.

It was pitiful yet pathetic.

The bystanders were simply nobodies who wanted to make themselves shine in front of those stronger than them.

"The Fordham family? I remember them.

I heard they went bankrupt because they offended that man from the Miller family. ""They deserved it."

I wonder how that small-time businessman managed to provoke that man, though." "Speaking of, the Fordham family is bankrupt.

How did you enter the party, Ms.

Fordham? We haven't heard news about you for years.

Did you…" Someone was misleading the crowd to take things the distorted way.

Jeez! Who brought her in? Can't he be more sensible enough to know what kind of party this is? How could he bring such a disgrace to the party? The discussion didn't stop.

It was free from filthy words, but their mockery stung all the same.

How disgusting.

Some of these people had asked for sexual favors from Olivia back then, clueless that she was Ethan's wife.

In the end, she was degraded and didn't receive a single penny.

Worse still, the men's wives misunderstood the situation and hit Olivia before driving her out of their houses.

11 years later, these families were all at the top of the pyramid.

That was why they were invited to today's party.

They stood on the same side while hiding their true colors, pointing fingers and throwing shade at Olivia.

Still, Olivia had experienced enough to stay unbothered.

The more they acted up right now, the harder they would fall when the announcement was made later.

Instead of explaining herself, she merely stayed quiet and watched.

Her silence made Tyrell feel awkward.

It was as though her faint smile was the best reply she could give.

He coughed wryly.

"Enough.

Stop it, everyone.

She's just a young lady.

Let's not make things difficult for her. His son, Neal Monroe, failed to take the cue and acted up."

The fact that his family was rising by leaps and bounds fanned his ego.

Neal couldn't bear to see Tyrell losing respect in public, so he chimed in, "Ms.

Fordham, my father is your senior.

Shouldn't you apologize for the way you spoke to him? If you apologize, we can gladly put novelbin an end to the matter." "Apologize? Why should I? Did I lie about anything?" Olivia questioned back.

Even After Death Chapter 1455-In fact, Olivia would've forgotten about the issue if Tyrell hadn't brought it up.

It was already in the past.

She could understand his stance.

He was simply protecting himself, so she had never thought of revenge.

However, the Monroes had life so easy these years that they had forgotten what kind of place this was.

Tyrell was now picking fault with her simply because she ignored his facade.

Since he wasn't giving in, Olivia figured that there was no need for her to back down.

"Uncle Tyrell, you were a member of the Bureau of Land and Resources when you first met my father.

Back then, you tried to earn favors from him because you wanted to climb higher."

It was thanks to my father that you were able to become the head of the Municipal Planning Bureau.

"I don't wish for you to remember my father's goodwill.

When my family went bankrupt and he was in the hospital in need of money for surgery, I visited your place.

You were at home, but you chose to avoid me.

I can understand that you were trying to get out of trouble's way."

Still, I can't tolerate how you want to brush everything off with mere pretentious words when you couldn't be bothered to do anything back then.

I was stating the facts and yet I'm forced to apologize? This is ridiculous, she exposed Tyrell, humiliating him more.

There was an old acquaintance of hers in the crowd as well.

It was Calista, the one who told Marina something and indirectly killed Jeff.

Later, Ethan set Calista's family up and they went bankrupt.

Calvin helped the maiden in despair and married her.

They became parents of two children, and life novelbin made Calista a better person.

As Ch worked for Ethan, Calvin now held a certain influence in Aldenvine.

That was how Calista was able to attend today's party.

She didn't imagine she would meet Olivia again here.

Jeff's death was something Calista couldn't get over.

If she had not told Marina that just to butter Marina up, Jeff wouldn't have died due to shock.

All these years, Calista had been hoping for an opportunity to apologize to Olivia.

"Calvin, look.

Isn't that Olivia? Calvin turned his head after he was done talking with another person."

His gaze landed on Olivia, who was the center of the gossip at the moment.

Years had shed the youthful naivety off her, turning her into a blossoming flower.

Not even the light makeup could cover her striking beauty.

Calvin couldn't help but admire her beauty at first glance.

Looks like she's in trouble. Others might not be well aware, but he knew what had happened between Ethan and Olivia.

Therefore, Calvin reckoned that she was here because of Ethan.

The news regarding Ethan and Marina was exposed, but he managed to bury the news quickly.

When Olivia lost her memories, Ethan even wiped out the history records of several people involved.

Thus, not many people knew who Olivia was.

When the couple approached the crowd, Neal rebutted, "How insolent! My father was simply concerned about your well-being.

What's wrong with that? "How did a disgraceful person like you manage to enter the party? Your appearance here alone is a humiliation." This was happening before the party commenced.

At that moment, Mason, Ethan, and Linus were in a meeting while Tatiana was admiring the snowy trees behind the building with her friends.

Their absence gave the Monroes more reason to wield their authority however they fancied.

They thought that Olivia's sugar daddy wasn't showing up due to his cowardice.

Who says she's a disgrace? Do you know who she is? Olivia looked in the direction from where the voice resounded, only to be surprised.

It was Calista!

Even After Death Chapter 1456-Calista had never liked Olivia during their school days.

Calista would make comparisons in everything they did.

After discovering that Calvin liked Olivia, Calista took it further by putting herself at odds with Olivia.

Calista joined Marina's side because she wanted to win Marina's favor.

novelbin Back then, Olivia was aware that Calista and Marina had put their feet in their mouths.

Still, even if it wasn't for Calista, someone else would've done it.

Things would've ended up the same as long as Jeff learned about Chloe's death.

The news of Calista's family's bankruptcy didn't make Olivia feel any better.

But Olivia didn't make it worse for Calista either.

Olivia later learned of Calvin's marriage, but she didn't show up for safety reasons.

Calista and Calvin strode over with interlocked arms.

She didn't wear the haughty expression she always did in the past.

She looked more mature now.

Neal's eyes showed contempt.

Other than the daughter of the fallen Fordham family, who else could she be, I sure wonder? He didn't know much of the world yet.

People like Tyrell would always hide his displeasure, but not his son.

Neal wore his heart on his sleeves.

It was understandable because the scions like him hadn't suffered as much.

They owned practically everything since day one.

The sense of superiority was in their blood.

Tyrell coughed, hinting at Neal to stay low-profile.

Politicians and businessmen were different.

Standing out too much might not be a good thing for them.

"Enough, Neal.

She's a lady.

Don't make things difficult for her. ""You're too forgiving, Dad."

That's why sometimes people are getting ahead of themselves." The number of people watching them was increasing.

Almost all of them looked at Olivia, their gazes unfriendly.

"Mrs.

Atkins, why don't you tell us who she is? ""Mr."

Neal, do you not know that she's Mr.

Miller's ex-wife?" Some of the bystanders recalled the fact.

"Oh, right.

I remember Mr.

Miller attended an award ceremony with Ms.

Fordham that year.

They were holding hands too.

I almost forgot about it.

It's been so many years. Neal panicked at the reminder."

His sharp eyes scanned the area, but there was no sight of Ethan.

Everyone was well aware of two facts.

First, the Miller family was a family whose history went back a hundred years.

Second, Ethan was an unpredictable man.

No one would ever want to provoke that man.

Neal grew more and more jittery as he zipped his lips.

Meanwhile, Millie had her assumptions.

Since they couldn't see Ethan, she simply guessed that Olivia wasn't here with Ethan.

"Mrs.

Atkins, as you said, she's his ex-wife.

If Mr.

Miller truly cared about her, he wouldn't have married another person.

I remember that he was involved with Ms.

Carlton for a while.

People said that he spent millions on a villa and named a famous hospital after Ms."

Carlton just to make her happy.

I think your husband knows this very well." Calista wasn't going to back down.

She wanted to say something, but Calvin patted the back of her hand.

Calvin had received some updates on Ethan from Chris.

Ethan's feelings for Olivia had never changed.

The person who should be teaching the Monroes a lesson was Ethan.

Calvin need not upset others himself.

After all, it wasn't easy for his family to come this far.

He didn't want his efforts to go down the drain by making enemies.

He glanced at Calista before saying, "That's true, but what you said happened a long time ago.

We're outsiders, so what do we know about the couple? We don't have the right to judge them." It seemed like he was trying to be neutral, but in fact, he was reminding everyone that Ethan and Olivia were still husband and wife.

Then, Calvin greeted Olivia, "Long time no see, Olivia."

Even After Death Chapter 1457-"It's been a while." Olivia remembered the time Calvin helped her, hence the approachable attitude.

Now that Olivia was so laid-back talking to others while ignoring the Monroes, Millie spouted meanly, "You do know a lot of men, Ms. Fordham.

I wonder who you came with today." Olivia faintly smiled in response.

Why must I come with a man? Can't I come on my own? Are you perhaps selfprojecting? You rely on man to climb higher and so you expect others to be the same. Millie noticed that Olivia came empty-handed.

There wasn't a bag, let alone an invitation.

Are you here to catfish others? Ms. Fordham, do you know what kind of party this is? The ladies began whispering to each other.

Although the men kept quiet, their eyes on Olivia weren't friendly.

"Who said that she doesn't have an invitation? She came with US.

We were classmates. Calista stood up for Olivia."

Olivia was slightly surprised to see Calista defending her.

Still, it was a feeble statement to sell to the bystanders because Calvin was able to attend the party thanks to Chris' relationship with Ethan.

Ignoring others' reactions, Olivia replied to Millie indifferently, "I got it." The way Olivia didn't take Millie seriously angered Millie more.

If you get it, why are you still here? You- Before she could finish, two steely voices chimed in at the same time.

Where is she supposed to be if not here? "Why can't she be here?" The incoming people were Ethan and Linus.

They made a grand appearance after their meeting.

The crowd made way for them.

As soon as Tyrell saw the men, he put Olivia at the back of his head and gave Neal a look.

Tyrell approached the men.

When he was about to say something, they walked past him in a hurry to reach Olivia.

Ethan hugged her with a frown on his face.

Did someone bully you? Was this an act between an ex-husband and his exwife? Ethan's eyes only held affection and nothing else.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were a loving married couple.

Millie had accused Olivia of being a sugar baby just a moment ago, but it now appeared to others that Olivia hadn't divorced Ethan.

Millie finally understood the meaning behind Calvin's words, but it was too late.

It wasn't only Ethan as even Linus was concerned about Olivia.

Liv, what happened? The people could understand Ethan's reaction but not Linus'.

When they thought back about the purpose of the party, they had an inkling of the situation.

This party was held to welcome a new member to the Heath family.

People were speculating about an adoption.

Could Olivia be the one adopted? The Monroes' expressions were equally dreadful as they prayed for Olivia to have nothing to do with the Heath family.

Right then, Molly and Tatiana showed up with interlocked arms.

Instead of walking in front of them, Mason stood next to Molly like a fatherly figure.

Noticing the crowd, he asked, "What's this?" Everyone's eyes were on Molly.

Something was off.

It was general knowledge that Tatiana was a fool for her daughter.

Why wasn't Krystal around? Why was a stranger holding Tatiana's arm?

novelbin Even though Mason showed up with a smile, solemnity sat in the air as everyone managed their expressions.

They straightened their backs, unconsciously behaving with their utmost decorum.

Mr. Heath.

Even After Death Chapter 1458-Mason waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Relax, everyone.

His gaze landed on Olivia, and he realized that she was the center of the limelight.

Did something happen?"" Tyrell interrupted, saying, ""It's nothing big."

It's not worth bringing it up.

Mr. Heath, don't you have good news to share with US?" Ethan's brows were slightly furrowed.

When he came, he clearly saw some people pointing fingers at Olivia.

However, he didn't say anything since Mason, someone elderly, was around.

Ethan was mature enough to know how to behave.

Mason first observed the crowd.

Considering how everyone had taken an interest in Molly, he took the liberty to answer Tyrell.

He beckoned her over, "Molly, come here." It was quite nerve-wracking for her.

She noticed the Kingstons in the bunch.

Their eyes no longer held disgust.

As for the rest, the majority were strangers to her.

Under those watching eyes, she clutched her dress nervously.

Mason took the initiative to hold her hand.

"New Year's is coming.

Other than an early New Year's celebration, I'd like to announce a piece of good news to all my guests in attendance too.

This is the daughter I've recently found, Molly. In that instant, everyone was full of questions."

Was Molly Mason's illegitimate child? Why wasn't Krystal here? "Due to an accident, my biological daughter went missing, and we only found her just recently," Tatiana explained as though she could read everyone's mind.

Among the crowd, someone was watching them menacingly.

Krystal managed to sneak into the party and mingle in the crowd without the bodyguards' knowledge.

Her eyes of greed witnessed how Molly stole the limelight.

It was hard for Krystal to watch it happen because all the attention should've been hers! Only then did everyone understand the story.

It was no wonder Krystal didn't show up.

Some of them paid their reverence while others showered compliments.

Now that no one was questioning what happened a while ago, the Monroes were relieved.

Since Molly was Mason's lost and found daughter, the matter had nothing to do with Olivia, then.

Speaking of, Olivia was simply an orphan now.

So what if she was Ethan's ex-wife? Ethan was the one who made the Fordhams go bankrupt.

If he truly loved her, she wouldn't have stayed as an ex-wife.

After receiving blessings from others, Mason put the focus on Olivia again.

"I think something happened before I showed up.

What happened? Although Tyrell was clueless as to why Mason was so stubborn about that incident, he tried to gloss it over."

I was catching up with an old friend. The less trouble he had, the better.

Why were so many people surrounding you, then? I'm curious. Mason wished to get to the bottom of it.

Unlike the composed Tyrell, Millie pointed it out, ’ Mr.

Heath, you might find it ridiculous, but this lady's family announced bankruptcy back then and she's now taking it out on my husband.

"I don't think she has to show her fangs at US.

We didn't make her go bankrupt.

We didn't want to cause a scene, but she was tenacious about it. Calista was furious."

You're the one who caused a scene! You- Calvin quickly pulled her back as it wasn't a place for her to speak up.

Be it the Monroes or the Heaths, they weren't people they should be messing with.

novelbin Mason played with the ring on his finger, his expression indecipherable." Don't stop your wife, young lad.

Let her speak.

I'd like to know what happened."

Even After Death Chapter 1459-Everyone’s gaze shifted from Olivia to Calista in a heartbeat.

She gulped.

Mason said gently, "It's alright.

Just tell US what you saw." Despite his high status, he was as gentle as an elderly man next door.

She looked at Calvin, who was at his wit's end.

Chris gave Calvin the opportunity to attend today's party, but it seemed like this could serve as his last party too.

Accepting his fate inwardly, Chris prompted, "Go ahead.

Tell them the truth.

If Calista recounted the entirety of the situation.

Millie wasn't happy about that.

"Mr. Heath, this lady was classmates with Ms.

Fordham.

Her story could be biased. ""Biased? Didn't you insinuate that Olivia earned the right to come because of her sugar daddy? Everything you said hinted that this isn't a place for her."

You're relying on your influence to bully her." "Enough." Calvin quickly stopped Calista, his words carrying an undertone.

"I'm sorry for disturbing your peace with this trivial matter, Mr. Heath.

If I had known catching up with an old friend would cause such a scene, I wouldn't have done it.

It's my fault, Ms. Fordham, responded Tyrell like a gentleman."

He apologized to her, but the deliberate act was actually putting Olivia in her place.

However, there was an important message he overlooked.

Mason didn't chide Olivia for that.

His expression even seemed disapproving.

A trivial matter? Are you saying that it's a trivial matter when my family is bullied? Tyrell's smile stiffened.

Your family? "Olivia, come here." Mason stretched out his arm at her.

Completely laid-back, Olivia walked to his side and called gently, "Grandpa."

The bombshell was dropped.

It blew everyone's mind.

That was the cruelest reality check one could give to the people who had mocked Olivia.

Calista felt so light all of a sudden.

A real-life telenovela was playing right in front of her eyes! Tyrell failed to manage his expression, and his face went pale.

Ethan coldly said, "Sugar daddy? Liv is the woman I love with all my heart.

I'm willing to remarry her as long as she gives me the green light." The revelation stunned everyone.

There was a story behind the divorce-it wasn't he who dumped her; she was the one who dumped him! novelbin Tyrell immediately knew that this was a game over.

Now that he had offended both the Heaths and the Millers, forget about bringing Neal to further heights, his family was doomed.

Tyrell intended to curry favor with Olivia, and she saw through his thoughts right away.

"Uncle Tyrell, Aunt Millie, as I said, I came here on my own.

If you hadn't brought up the past, I would've gotten over it.

I never blamed you for letting me kneel in the rain the whole night. Tyrell's eyes widened."

She kept silent before this because she had been waiting for this moment to come, to administer the coup de grace in front of everyone! Mason's eyes narrowed.

What? You knelt in the rain? She smiled faintly.

"It's all in the past, Grandpa.

Today's a happy day.

Let's not bring up upsetting stories anymore.

Let me help you to the other side. The brief mention of the story was enough to pin the Monroes down in humiliation."

The Monroe family was done for.

Their faces were devoid of color, and Olivia didn't even look back.

She was no longer the naive young lady anymore.

Did they want to play mind games with her? She could be the good player they asked for.

The Fordham family was the cause of their prosperity, so the Fordhams might as well be the same reason for the Monroes' downfall.

That was how the world worked.

Only the strongest survived.

Even After Death Chapter 1460-The Monroe family, which was once a renowned family, ruined their bright future due to their foolishness.

Those who had put Olivia in a tough spot were on tenterhooks as well, fearing her revenge.

The people's envious eyes morphed into pitying gazes.

So what if one could climb high up the ladder in Aldenvine? Things changed and tables turned so fast here.

Only one could perch at the top of the pyramid.

Mason simply needed one reason to make the Monroes lose everything.

Calista looked at Olivia's back in disbelief.

Why is she suddenly one of the Heaths? "This must be a family secret.

We won't be able to know.

She reminds me of her past self in college-no- she's shining brighter than she did back then." Calista pinched Calvin's arm.

You still have feelings for her? "No way.

It's been years.

Besides, the feelings I had were simply an attraction to beautiful things.

I'm happy to see how things turned out for her." Olivia had suffered a lot in life.

She deserved to own everything she had today more than anyone.

Now that Calista had accepted reality, she finally realized how outstanding of a person Olivia was.

She wasn't in the position to be jealous of Olivia back then.

Calista had accepted reality, but not Krystal.

Krystal learned about today's party from her close friends.

They didn't know what had happened within the Heath family, so they talked to her about it.

After debating with herself whether to show up or not, Krystal chose to attend the party.

She had lived with the Heath family for many years.

She wouldn't believe that her parents, who had treated her so well, would ignore her.

Even pets would build a bond with their owners over time.

Right now, she was hiding in the crowd to look at those familiar faces.

They introduced Molly and Olivia to the guests, but the mention of Krystal was brief.

That fleeting mention of her simply ended their 20-year relationship.

Why did she deserve this kind of ending? She couldn't understand.

Krystal stared at the dazzling duo.

Yale wasn't standing next to Molly, but his eyes were smitten with love.

She thought, "Don't blame me for doing this." Everyone was congratulating Mason for getting such a wonderful granddaughter and reuniting with his daughter.

Right then, a familiar yet menacing voice resounded.

What about me? She's your daughter, but what about me? What about the time we spent together? Even Olivia was slightly taken aback.

After Krystal and Lisa ran away, the Heaths, and even Yale, searched for them.

But their whole family had run away with the cat they reared.

Lisa had been making preparations to be on the run at any moment, so no traces were left.

Who would've known that Krystal would show up at the party herself! Mason's eyes narrowed into a thin line.

Krystal was stupid, but he didn't expect her stupidity to lead her to her own grave.

Forget about the Heaths, Yale wouldn't let her get away with it this easily! Molly was shocked to see Krystal here.

She parted her lips.

Given how much Yale loved Molly, he would never let Krystal off the hook so easily! Krystal's appearance took this party full swing.

Everyone knew how much the Heaths loved Krystal in novelbin the past.

What was she doing here? Didn't she feel embarrassed? "How did you get here?" Mason's voice was steely, and he didn't mask his disgust.
