Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93

Everly ground her teeth in frustration, wondering how such a despicable person could exist. Lowering her voice, she said, You stole her man. Isn’t it enough now that you’re Mrs. Miller?”

“Huh? 1 stole her man? If it hadn’t been for her, Ethan and I would have been married a long time ago. Olivia’s the one who stole my man,” Marina countered, sneering.

“Ms. Carlton, with that audacity of yours, you could set a new Guinness World Record. I can assure you that no one will be able to break your record for centuries. I thought I was bad, but I’m nothing compared to you. You truly set the bar high,” Everly retorted.

“Everly, if I were you, I would speak to me politely,” Marina threatened, crossing her arms.

“Ooh, someone’s getting angry!” Everly was talented at infuriating others.

“I’m not angry,” Marina replied, maintaining her composure.

Olivia, on the other hand, was boiling inside. She’d raised the bid to five billion dollars. Ethan knew her limits, and he could easily secure the Fordham residence by raising the bid by ten million dollars.

When Ethan didn’t raise his paddle, Shawn called, “Does anyone want to raise the bid?”

“Five billion dollars, calling once.”

Just then, Ethan’s phone vibrated.

“Five billion dollars, calling twice.”

Everly was tense too. Things had evolved from an auction for the Fordham residence into a competition between Olivia and Marina for Ethan’s affection.

Ethan’s phone vibrated once again.

“Five billion-”

Shawn was about to put the gavel down when Ethan announced, “5.01 billion dollars.”

Olivia began to tremble, knowing she’d lost. She’d been utterly defeated.
