Even After Death Novel (Olivia)
Chapter 1450

Olivia didn't beat about the bush. "Grandpa, what are you going to do with Aunt Molly and Yale?"

Mason gave her a fleeting glance. "Did you come as the middleman?"

"I'm a woman, and I've gone through a lot. Yale has indeed been involved in many awful deeds, but he did all those for Aunt Molly. Her body is weak to begin with. If they break up, I'm afraid..." Grabbing a paintbrush, Mason continued painting. "Do you know what I told the two men that night?"

"I can't read your mind."

"I have two conditions for Yale. First, it's to cut ties with the Kingston family."

"He has fulfilled that."

A meaningful smile appeared across his lips. "How naive. To cut ties for real is easier said than done. Other than the blood running in their veins, it takes many other factors into account. Even if he wants to leave them for good, they won't grant his wish."

"What's the second condition, then?" If the first was that difficult, the second one should be definitely on another level.

"Molly can marry him only if he gives her the Kingstons' fortune."

Olivia's eyes widened.

Businessmen were nowhere near the politicians when it came to playing dirty games. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If Mason wasn't her grandfather, she would've burst into a string of curses.

"Are you criticizing me inwardly?"

Olivia flashed a smile. "Not at all."

"It's not weird to criticize me for that. I might appear cruel to you guys, but Olivia, the political world is scarier than you imagine. As long as the Kingstons aren't eliminated, I won't be able to have a good night's sleep.

"And Yale is the best candidate to do the job. Only he can root them out. I have faith in him."

"Did he give his word?"

"I didn't receive a response. I reckon there's a scale in his mind. He knows what's the most important thing to him."

How cruel.

One option was his family while the other option was his lover.

Which one would Yale choose?

"What about Ethan? What kind of conditions did you give him?"

If Mason didn't hold himself back against Yale, Ethan wouldn't have it easier either.

"I want Connor," blurted Mason.

"He didn't agree to it." Olivia could guess the answer without asking further.

"Yup. And the other condition is to have him become one of the Heaths."

"And he didn't agree to that either."

"Yes, that brat."

Unlike Yale, Ethan rejected the conditions on the spot.

Olivia wore a wan smile. "Because he knows that you're not the biggest hurdle in our relationship—it's our past. I still can't completely forgive him until today. Even if he agrees to your conditions, he can't do anything without my forgiveness.

"Besides, he's the only son in his family. How could he agree to that?"

"To agree or not is a different matter from wanting to agree or not. Olivia, Ethan has options, unlike Yale. That's why Ethan has the power to not agree to my conditions. Still, we can see that you're not the most important existence to him."

Mason's expression turned stern as he continued, "I know that he chose his family instead of you back then without hesitation. Will he abandon you again in the future? You're doing the right thing by not forgiving him."

That remark rained on Olivia's parade. She shook her head. "When there's no expectations, there's no disappointment. That is why I don't dare to remarry him. I'm afraid too."

"Ethan has choices, and so do you. Wayne's feelings for you are genuine. Tell me, are you interested in him? He hasn't been married, let alone have a woman. His status is as good as Ethan's. If you want it, I can arrange a marriage between the two of you."
