Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278

There was a lot of noise, but Olivia could still make out Ethan and Chloe’s voices.

She could feel the irony. Her mother wanted her dead, but the man she hated was willing to trade his life for hers.

What expectations could she have for a mother like that? She used to sit at the entrance of her home and stare at the road Chloe drove off on.

When she had a falling out with Ethan, she would do that too.

She remembered that she would keep reheating the food that got cold and wait while sitting on the doorsteps.

She would wait through the four seasons year by year, but the person she waited for never showed up. It was like her whole life was a joke.

Olivia grunted and said slowly, “Mrs. Carlton, I don’t want you in the next life. Even if there is a next life, I never want to cross paths with you again.”

“Liv, I don’t have a choice. I really don’t have a choice…”

Chloe was crying profusely. She didn’t want to make that choice, either.

But she loved Chris so much that she couldn’t bear to see him lose his only daughter.

Chloe hadn’t been able to bear children ever since her miscarriage. If Marina died, the Carlton family line would end.

That was why she couldn’t allow Marina to die, even if she had to sacrifice her own flesh and blood.

Olivia ignored Chloe. She continued, “Ethan, I’ve had enough of this life. Your debt to me can never be repaid with your life alone.”

She smiled and said, “Remember, she’s the one who kidnapped and killed me. Don’t take your anger out on anyone but her.” Ethan could feel something was wrong with Olivia. “Liv, what are you planning to do? Don’t be rash.”

Olivia closed her eyes. She could hear the sound of the waves lapping against some boats and the seagulls in the distance.

It was the sound of freedom to her.

She drew her knife where the camera couldn’t see and began slowly cutting through the rope.
