Even After Death Novel (Olivia)

Leia paused for a moment before she replied obediently as before, "No problem."

As soon as she replied, she noticed a minute change in Deborah's expression.

An outsider might not have noticed it, but Leia had worked for Deborah for many years. She could detect even the slightest change in Deborah's expression.

"Ms. Johnson, please get some rest. I'll see myself out."

"Go ahead."

Leia sensed danger the moment she turned to leave. She quickly turned back and saw Deborah pointing a gun at her.

A gunshot rang. Leia managed to dodge in time. If she hadn't sensed that something was off, she would've died from Deborah's shot.

"Why, Ms. Johnson?" Leia looked at Deborah in confusion.

Deborah pointed the gun at Leia's torso. She figured that Leia couldn't escape anyway, so she told her the truth, "Do you think I wouldn't know that you're in love with Avery Fordham? You love him way too much. You'd never try to kill him."

"You were testing me?" Leia didn't expect Deborah to not trust her at all, even after so many years.

"Although you had helped me a lot in the past, you're worthless to me now. Rest in peace."

Before Deborah could pull the trigger, the villa's alarm started blaring. "Intruder alert!"

Her expression changed drastically. "What have you done?"

Leia sneered. "Since you know I love him, what do you think I would do for him? He's leading his men to rescue Mr. Fordham right now."

"You traitorous snake!"

Laia looked at Deborah coldly. "Ms. Johnson, you were the one who taught me that I have to be vicious to succeed."

"I'll kill you!"

Avery led his men into the villa. Its defenses were completely disabled.

"Dad is upstairs! Get a move on!"

Leia had already sent David's location to Avery. She even sent the guards away before he came in.

Avery was able to find David very easily. He was extremely sad when he looked at the frail man on the bed.

"Are you okay, Dad?"

"You're finally here. It's Deborah. She's supposed to be your aunt. It's all my fault. I should've been more careful. I'm the reason our family is in shambles..."

"Dad, I know everything now. Let's get out of here first. We can talk later.

Avery told Bryce, "By the way, find Ms. Miller and bring her to safety. She's our family's savior!"

"Yes, sir."

The group of people brought David to safety, but they couldn't get in contact with Leia.

Deborah was a devious person. She probably guessed that Leia had betrayed her. Leia was probably in danger.

"I'll go back and check."

"Mr. Fordham, it's time to leave. There are a lot of traps in this building. It's dangerous to go back in."

Their goal was to rescue David. The next step was to destroy Deborah completely.

It would be dangerous and unwise for Avery to go back inside.

The alarm in the villa continued to sound. Armed men and even robots started to show up.

"Target sighted. Proceeding to eliminate."

"That's not good. Those robots attack indiscriminately. Run!"

The robots' eyes glowed brightly. Bryce ordered some men to stay behind and provide cover while he took David and Avery away.

"You shouldn't hesitate anymore, Mr. Fordham. Your health has always been bad. Ms. Miller is a member of Toxic Hive. she'll be fine!" As soon as he said that, a loud bang could be heard from the top floor.
