Even After Death by Lilting Champ

Chapter 93
Everly ground her teeth in frustration, wondering how such a despicable person could exist. Lowering her voice, she said, You
stole her man. Isn’t it enough now that you’re Mrs. Miller?”
“Huh? 1 stole her man? If it hadn’t been for her, Ethan and I would have been married a long time ago. Olivia’s the one who stole
my man,” Marina countered, sneering.
“Ms. Carlton, with that audacity of yours, you could set a new Guinness World Record. I can assure you that no one will be able
to break your record for centuries. I thought I was bad, but I’m nothing compared to you. You truly set the bar high,” Everly
retorted.
“Everly, if I were you, I would speak to me politely,” Marina threatened, crossing her arms.
“Ooh, someone’s getting angry!” Everly was talented at infuriating others.
“I’m not angry,” Marina replied, maintaining her composure.
Olivia, on the other hand, was boiling inside. She’d raised the bid to five billion dollars. Ethan knew her limits, and he could easily
secure the Fordham residence by raising the bid by ten million dollars.
When Ethan didn’t raise his paddle, Shawn called, “Does anyone want to raise the bid?”
“Five billion dollars, calling once.”
Just then, Ethan’s phone vibrated.
“Five billion dollars, calling twice.”
Everly was tense too. Things had evolved from an auction for the Fordham residence into a competition between Olivia and
Marina for Ethan’s affection.
Ethan’s phone vibrated once again.
“Five billion-”
Shawn was about to put the gavel down when Ethan announced, “5.01 billion dollars.”

Olivia began to tremble, knowing she’d lost. She’d been utterly defeated.
Donning a victorious smile, Marina gloated, “Like I said, Ethan gives me everything I want.”
Everly glared fiercely at the back of Ethan’s head, wishing she could pierce through his skull with her eyes. Meanwhile, Olivia
chewed on her lips as she watched Marina walk up to the stage to thank Ethan for giving her the Fordham residence.
Despite wearing a down jacket in a heated room, the sight made her feel cold all over. For a moment, she saw everything go
black, and she had to close her eyes and grab the armrest to steady herself.
Everly knew that Olivia had been set to win the bid. Unexpectedly, Ethan had intervened, ruining all her plans.
“Let’s go,” Olivia said, rising to her feet.
Everly helped her up. Knowing that Olivia was running out of time, Everly wanted to fulfill all her wishes so that she wouldn’t
have any regrets when she passed away.
Alas, there was nothing she could do about the Fordham residence.
“Liv...” Everly’s heart ached for her.
Despite her despair, Olivia plastered a smile on her face as she assured Everly, “I’m fine. Perhaps it was never meant to be.”
Marina was Ethan’s newfound love, while she was merely his plaything. It didn’t take a genius to figure out who Ethan would
choose.
Besides, since he’d taken it upon himself to torment Olivia, it wasn’t a surprise that he would use this opportunity as well.

2/2
Everly noticed the sorrow in Olivia’s eyes, but she didn’t know how to console her friend. All she could do was lead her away,
saying, “Let’s go.”
On their way back, Olivia remained silent, her expression devold of any obvious signs of disappointment. She rested her cheek
against her hand as she gazed out of the window.

“Eve, let’s take a stroll along the coastal road.”
“Sure.”
