Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1590

Leia paused for a moment before she replied obediently as before, "No problem."

As soon as she replied, she noticed a minute change in Deborah's expression.

An outsider might not have noticed it, but Leia had worked for Deborah for many years. She could detect even the slightest change in Deborah's expression.

"Ms. Johnson, please get some rest. I'll see myself out."

"Go ahead."

Leia sensed danger the moment she turned to leave. She quickly turned back and saw Deborah pointing a gun at her.

A gunshot rang. Leia managed to dodge in time. If she hadn't sensed that something was off, she would've died from Deborah's shot.

"Why, Ms. Johnson?" Leia looked at Deborah in confusion.

Deborah pointed the gun at Leia's torso. She figured that Leia couldn't escape anyway, so she told her the truth, "Do you think I wouldn't know that you're in love with Avery Fordham? You love him way too much. You'd never try to kill him."

"You were testing me?" Leia didn't expect Deborah to not trust her at all, even after so many years.

"Although you had helped me a lot in the past, you're worthless to me now. Rest in peace."

Before Deborah could pull the trigger, the villa's alarm started blaring. "Intruder alert!"

Her expression changed drastically. "What have you done?"

Leia sneered. "Since you know I love him, what do you think I would do for him? He's leading his men to rescue Mr. Fordham right now."

"You traitorous snake!"

Laia looked at Deborah coldly. "Ms. Johnson, you were the one who taught me that I have to be vicious to succeed."

"I'll kill you!"

Avery led his men into the villa. Its defenses were completely disabled.

"Dad is upstairs! Get a move on!"
