Even After Death Novel (Olivia)
Chapter 1454

Back then, the Fordham family was quite well-known in Aldenvine. Many pitied them when they suddenly announced bankruptcy. After that, Olivia disappeared as well. If no one brought the family up, everyone might've soon forgotten about the Fordhams. That family was the water cooler talk for a long while. It was a mystery how Jeff offended Ethan, leading to the Fordhams' downfall.

It was a heart-wrenching story.

People wouldn't bring this up on this occasion since they had to maintain their pride.

However, Olivia's remarks had raised Tyrell's hackles. As someone who had retired from a high position, he was held with high regard everywhere he went.

Now that Olivia had embarrassed him, he wished he could do something to regain his pride again.

Considering how Jeff was someone beneath his station in the past, he perceived Olivia as a mere small fry.

He simply assumed that she was all puffed up because of his initiative to approach her.

The higher one climbed the ladder, the lower their tolerance was. If they enjoyed high social status, they would bear no room for disobedience.

They only served the people who were more powerful than them.

Humans were born this way. It was pitiful yet pathetic.

The bystanders were simply nobodies who wanted to make themselves shine in front of those stronger than them.

"The Fordham family? I remember them. I heard they went bankrupt because they offended that man from the Miller family."

"They deserved it. I wonder how that small-time businessman managed to provoke that man, though."

"Speaking of, the Fordham family is bankrupt. How did you enter the party, Ms. Fordham? We haven't heard news about you for years. Did you..." Someone was misleading the crowd to take things the distorted way.

"Jeez! Who brought her in? Can't he be more sensible enough to know what kind of party this is? How could he bring such a disgrace to the party?"

The discussion didn't stop. It was free from filthy words, but their mockery stung all the same.

How disgusting.

Some of these people had asked for sexual favors from Olivia back then, clueless that she was Ethan's wife.

In the end, she was degraded and didn't receive a single penny. Worse still, the men's wives misunderstood the situation and hit Olivia before driving her out of their houses.

11 years later, these families were all at the top of the pyramid. That was why they were invited to today's party.

They stood on the same side while hiding their true colors, pointing fingers and throwing shade at Olivia.

Still, Olivia had experienced enough to stay unbothered. The more they acted up right now, the harder they would fall when the announcement was made later.

Instead of explaining herself, she merely stayed quiet and watched.

Her silence made Tyrell feel awkward.

It was as though her faint smile was the best reply she could give.

He coughed wryly. "Enough. Stop it, everyone. She's just a young lady. Let's not make things difficult for her."

His son, Neal Monroe, failed to take the cue and acted up. The fact that his family was rising by leaps and bounds fanned his ego.

Neal couldn't bear to see Tyrell losing respect in public, so he chimed in, "Ms. Fordham, my father is your senior. Shouldn't you apologize for the way you spoke to him? If you apologize, we can gladly put an end to the matter." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Apologize? Why should I? Did I lie about anything?" Olivia questioned back.
