Even After Death Novel (Olivia)
Chapter 601

Chapter 601

Ethan strode up to Olivia, pulling her into his embrace right away. “Are you alright?”

“I'm fine. I happened to see someone getting bullied, so I helped out.” After explaining, Olivia looked at Mara. “I can show the receipt for the dress, and I also have a photo of the dress hanging in the closet at home. But Ms. Hudson, what evidence can you provide?”

Seeing that Olivia was getting serious, Mara had no choice but to keep insisting. “My manager was the one who borrowed it. She has the receipt.”

“Alright, then call your manager over. Ask her where she borrowed it from. She can help support your claim too.”

“S-She just left for some urgent business. I can't get her here, can I?" “So, you don't have any evidence, and you also falsely accused someone and lied about the price. This is extortion, isn't it?” Mara said nervously, “Extortion? Quit trying to slander me! Fine, I can't afford to mess with someone high and mighty like you, Mrs. Miller. I'll just take it as a loss.”

Mara didn’t dare to go up against Ethan. So, she found an excuse and fled the scene.

If this went on, they might figure out that she was wearing a counterfeit. If they wanted to get to the bottom of this incident, she would be done for.

Olivia looked at the man at the side, whose head was lowered. “Be more careful next time. If you get into trouble like this in the future, don't give in so easily.”

“Thank you very much, Miss. You were a huge help.”

After thanking her, the janitor hobbled away.

Olivia sighed silently as she watched him leave. There were too many people like him. She could help them once, but she couldn't help them forever.

Looking away, she was about to leave with Ethan. But then, she noticed that Ethan was still staring at the janitor.

“Do you pity him, Ethan?”

Ethan had a complicated expression on his face as he nodded. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Let's go back.”

“Okay.”

After the fuss, Olivia didn't want to be the center of attention. So, she left hand-in-hand with Ethan.

When they passed by Kelvin, Ethan whispered an order to him before getting into the car.

“Understood, Mr. Miller.” Kelvin hastily left.

Olivia paused in her steps, looking at him. “What's the matter?” “Nothing. Let's go.” Reaching out, Ethan patted her on the head. Then, he opened the car door for her.

The car started. Olivia yawned as she leaned in Ethan's embrace.

It was snowing heavily outside. The snow looked extra pretty under the streetlights.

On a cold winter night like this, there were barely any people outside. As Mara made a call, she complained, “Damn it, I bumped into a tricky fellow today. That beggar was already going to pay up, but I ended up wasting a dress. She thinks she’s all that just because she’s rich!

“I just wrote a post. Share it anonymously for me. Make sure no one figures out that it's me. Also, pick me up at the back door. Don't let anyone see me.”

After hanging up, she was about to rub her hands together. The weather was too cold.

A short distance away, someone was standing under a streetlight. The light was too dim, so Mara could only see that the person was quite tall. The light from the streetlight stretched his shadow into the distance. Mara felt a little nervous for some reason. She had taken this detour on purpose, and no one should be here.

When she examined the man in detail, she realized that he was wearing a janitors uniform.

“It's you.”

Mara wasn't scared anymore when she realized that it was the janitor from before. “What are you doing here?”

“You didn't even take the money, Ms. Hudson. Are you leaving already?”

Mara was elated to find that the escaped prey had come back running. “At least you're decent enough. I don’t want that much anymore. You only have to give me 100 thousand dollars.”

The man was wearing a cap. She couldn't see his eyes under the brim at all.

“Alright, I'll give it to you.” The man’s voice sounded extra eerie on a night like this.

When Mara saw him hobbling toward her, she suddenly felt that something was off. Goosebumps appeared on her skin, and her sixth sense told her to run away.

She was about to leave when the man moved quickly, choking her. Mara wanted to struggle, but she realized that she was powerless in his hands. Her eyes widened as she fearfully glared at the man in front of her.
