Even After Death Novel (Olivia)
Chapter 598

Chapter 598

After presenting the awards, Ethan took Olivia's hand. They made their way to the seats reserved for them.

When the lights had dimmed, Olivia grumbled in his ear, “Why didn't you tell me earlier? I wasn't prepared for it at all. I looked so stupid onstage just now.”

Hearing Olivia's complaints, Ethan put on a loving smile.

“I wanted to give you a surprise.”

“It's more of a shock. My palms are still sweaty. I'm going to the bathroom.”

“Sure.”

Olivia had just gotten up when Ethan gave Brent a look. Brent immediately took some men with him to follow Olivia. From an appropriate distance, they protected Olivia in the shadows.

Ethan leaned lazily in the chair, fiddling with his wedding ring. A cold gleam appeared in his eyes.

His phone kept vibrating in his pocket. After Ethan had rejected the calls a few times, the caller still refused to give up. Ethan had no choice but to get up and leave to answer the call.

After presenting the awards, Olivia felt like she was walking on clouds. She had complicated feelings in her heart.

She felt the satisfaction of having her wishes fulfilled, but she also felt a little reluctant.

She didn’t know why she would feel like this.

In her daze, she accidentally bumped into a person. It was only then that Olivia returned to her senses. She hastily said, “Sorry.

The man was wearing a high-fashion suit with a subtle rose pattern on it. His hair was dyed silver, and he wore a rose diamond earring on his left ear.

The man had a bold style, and his face was much more exquisite than most women's. His eyelids were lowered, covering a third of his pupils. He looked extra cold and indifferent.

Olivia wondered if she was seeing things. For an unknown reason, she sensed something familiar about his face.

The man never intended to stop walking, but when he saw that it was Olivia, he paused in his tracks. “Ms. Fordham?"

Olivia looked at him. “Do you know me?”

She wondered if he was someone she knew in the past. It would explain the sense of familiarity.

“We've never met before, but I've heard about you. Thank you very much for what you did for my sister. I never had a chance to thank you in person. I wonder-"

He was about to say more, but his assistant started urging him from the side. The man took out a name card and passed it to

Olivia.

“Avery is my older brother. Sorry, I still have something to attend to right now. If you need anything, Ms. Fordham, you can S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

call me.”

Olivia watched the man leave in a hurry. Then, she lowered her head to look at the name card in her hands.

Troy Fordham.

She wondered who he was.

His last name was Fordham as well. She wondered if he was a distant relative.

Olivia put the name card away. She decided to ask Ethan about it later. The venue was huge, and she took up to ten minutes to get to the bathroom.

At that moment, everyone was gathered in the hall. As such, the other places looked desolate in comparison.

Olivia fixed her makeup in the bathroom. Then, someone walked in behind her. It was Nikki.

Nikki had removed her mask, and she was staring viciously at Olivia. Olivia looked up, her gaze meeting the woman's through the mirror. “Ms. Shaw,” she greeted first.

Nikki twisted the cap of her lipstick. She said in disdain, “The Shaws have been a reputable family for a hundred years. In what ways do you think you're better than me?”

Olivia felt a little exasperated. “Is it considered an advantage to be prettier than you?”

She wasn't boasting. Nikki was just a decent-looking woman. No matter how she looked at her, there wasn't anything special

about Nikki's features.

Nikki only had her high-fashion dress and jewelry going for her. If not, Olivia would be the first person to be spotted in a ceremony like this. Meanwhile, Nikki would be lost in the crowd.

“You!”

Olivia had touched on the worst subject. Nikki's expression instantly changed.

“Also, he seems to love me a lot. Is this considered my second advantage?”

In her most innocent voice, Olivia spoke the harshest words.
