Even After Death Novel (Olivia)
Chapter 1266

Perhaps due to her intense reaction last night, Wayne did not appear in front of Olivia all day. Olivia spent her day at the Royal Hospital teaching everyone the acupuncture technique.

Just after dusk, Wayne awaited Olivia's arrival so that she could administer acupuncture. He thought about various apology strategies. His heart raced involuntarily when he heard footsteps approaching. He stood with his back to the person coming and adopted a harsh tone. "I was wrong about last night. Don't get the wrong idea. It's not that I like you. I just have a thing for married women!" he said.

He was even prepared to tarnish his own image to reassure Olivia. His claim of liking married women was merely an excuse. Wayne waited for Olivia's response.

His ears turned red as he continued gruffly, "So you can rest assured, I won't make any moves on you. I keep the promises I make.

"Why are you silent? I've apologized. What more do you want?" he exclaimed angrily.

He turned in anger, only to find himself face-to-face with Grant's wrinkled visage. Grant's trembling lips struggled to suppress a chuckle, embarrassing Wayne.

"Why are you here?" Wayne asked.

Grant came over leisurely. "Ah, Mr. President, I'm old and have hearing difficulties. I didn't catch what you said you liked?" he said.

"What are you doing here?" Wayne asked him with a somber expression.

Grant put down his tools. “I'm here to administer your acupuncture. Don't worry, Ms. Ophelia has taught me everything,” he assured Wayne.

Wayne was furious. He didn't expect Olivia to pull such a move. "Who wants your treatment, old man? Get out," he said.

Grant had cared for Wayne for years. He even treated him like a grandson and so didn't mind his temper. “Fine. Since Ms. Ophelia has taught all the doctors, I'll get someone you like to come here," he said. Wayne had no comeback. He could only sit with his arms crossed. He let Grant work on him while he seethed angrily.

Alan advised him after seeing his furious state, "Mr. President, Ms. Ophelia is still angry. It's best not to trouble her now. She might do something drastic if you push her too far."

Wayne hummed in response but said nothing. He thought of Olivia's fiery demeanor from the night before and ultimately held back.

As night fell, Olivia timed her arrival perfectly. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Hoo-hoo?" She mimicked an owl, and a hand pulled her behind the rockery.

"Did you get it?" Undecim asked in a low voice.

"Not yet, but I'm about 90% sure I can get it soon."

Undecim chuckled. "I knew no man could resist you."

"Stop with the sarcasm. Once we have the ring, how do we escape? It has a tracking chip. Holding onto it is like holding a bomb."

“They're tightening security for the multinational conference these days. Escaping won't be easy,"

"How did you get in?"

Udecim raised an eyebrow. "Do you want to know?"

His expression suggested an unconventional method. "It's nothing major. I just hitched a ride under a car. But that won't work with the current strict checks.”

"So, the only way to take the ring is to make him sleep through the night. We'll have already escaped by the time he realizes the ring is missing."

"Smart. What's your plan?" Undecim asked.
