Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1603

Alexander was a careful person who didn't ask for much. His sole wish was to have a peaceful life.

It wasn't that he couldn't bring himself to do as Jacqueline said, but she was basically planning to gamble all their savings for a future. A loss would mean losing everything!

Similar to Jacqueline's story, he struck gold and was able to become the son of a rich family by chance. He cherished his life dearly.

Even if they decided to back out of the game right now, they had enough money to spend for the rest of their life.

Greed was never rooted in him. To him, this moment was the peak of his life. Never once had he ever wished to become rich overnight.

Jacqueline obviously thought differently from him. Despite his effort to dissuade her from doing it, she didn't budge an inch.

She became livid instead. "Alexander Procter, I'm just going to ask this one question—are you going to help me or not?"

"Why would I not help you, Jacqueline? I'm just—"

"Then enough of the nagging! Once I get Fordham Group, there are many benefits for you to enjoy as well."

He sighed. "Jacqueline, you know that I love you no matter what you are. As long as you want something, even if it's the stars, I'll get it for you."

"Think of a way to gather one billion dollars, then. I need it as soon as possible."

She still possessed some long-term assets like properties, companies, and funds. These assets couldn't be converted into cash that quickly, so she put her hope on Alexander.

The helpless man accepted her request. After all, he still had a family that loved him.

Asking for one billion dollars from a rich family like his wasn't a difficult thing to do.

At the same time, Avery had been watching the couple's actions the entire time.

Ethan planted a spy, who later reported the situation to Olivia.

"Jacqueline caught the bait. She should be able to gather the money soon."
