Even After Death

Chapter 1402

Marina looked at Jack's face. He looked exactly like Kurt, but his eyes scared her.

"I'm not. I just…"

"Marina, you're disgusting. You forced Ethan to marry you while you were carrying Kurt's baby. And

there's also all the despicable things you did to separate him from his wife."

Jack struggled to get up and grabbed Marina's arm.

"What are you doing?" Marina asked as she tried to break free.

"I want to bring you somewhere."

Jack forced her into the car. Marina started to think that Jack was out of his mind. She was still on the

run.

"Where are you taking me?"

Jack fell silent and didn't speak another word to her. The car sped along the roads in the middle of the

night until they arrived at a manor.

There was a garden of black roses. The roses stood out in the white blanket of snow.

"This is…"

"Kurt had planned to propose to you here. He wanted to give you and the baby a home. But he didn't

get to live to see that day.

Marina looked at the roses and thought about the one time she performed in "Swan Lake" as the Black

Swan.

Kurt told her with a smile that she was much prettier than the White Swan. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

She never understood his taste.

"He was too naïve."

"That's true. Even if he came back, you wouldn't have married him, right?"

Jack stared straight into her eyes. "To you, he was just a tool."

Marina had never lacked suitors. Even if Ethan ignored her, he never said anything that hurtful to her.

Jack's tone made her uncomfortable.

"Don't forget. I was the one who saved you. What are you trying to say?"

"This is just Kurt's dying wish. Other than this, I want to take someone away from you."

"Who?"

"Your daughter. I know all about it. Ethan wanted to change her name. She's a member of the Stone

family to begin with.

"She should return to the Stone Residence with me."

Jack had been keeping an eye on Erina all these years. He wouldn't do this if Marina truly loved Erina.

From his observations, he gathered that Marina was naturally selfish. She would only ever put herself

first.

In the past, the two kids were just her bargaining chips. Even after she was dropped as the heiress of

the Carlton family, she didn't treat her daughter any better.

Erina would be destined for misfortune and misery if she stayed in a family like this.

"Impossible. She's my daughter. I won't hand her over to you!"

"All these years, have you ever cooked a meal for her or even gone shopping with her? She didn't even

get a taste of your breast milk since the moment she was born.

"Then, you handed her over to a nanny. The Miller family and the Carlton family provided for her. How

dare you claim to be her mother?

When Jack found out about Marina and Fabian, he knew that things would get worse for Erina once

Marina married Fabian.

He failed to kill Wayne this time. He probably wouldn't get another chance to avenge Kurt.

Marina slowly slumped to the ground and gazed at the night sky.

"Did I really make the wrong choice?"

She had been too greedy! She wanted things that didn't belong to her.

That was how she ended up where she was.

Suddenly, a car screeched to a halt nearby. Someone ran over. Coոtent of Drąмąոovеls.cоm

"Jack!"

Marina saw Olivia rushing over and jumping into Jack's arms.

She asked concernedly, "Jack, are you okay?"

She was so anxious she had tears in her eyes. "I thought you were…"

Jack, who was completely indifferent to Marina, smiled when he looked at Olivia.

Even his voice became gentle. "I'm fine."
