Even After Death

No matter how Olivia thought about it, she felt that there was something off about the Fordhams.

Quinn was dead, Sean had a broken leg, and Avery was on the verge of death as well.

If the real culprit was in the Fordham family, everyone would be a suspect. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Even Reginald, who seemed to be quite nice.

Just then, Olivia received a call from Avery.

She picked up.

"Mr. Avery." "I heard that you've arrived, and you even managed to get Sean to fall asleep." The news had traveled fast.

If even Avery knew about it, then the culprit must have heard as well.

To Olivia, this wasn't a good thing.

Her voice turned a little gloomier.

"Yes" Avery could hear the odd tone in her voice.

He hastily asked, "Is it very difficult to cure my brother's leg?" "Mr. Avery, it's not about the leg anymore." "What do you mean?" "I suspect that there's a problem in your family.

Someone wants Mr. Sean dead, and this person must know every one of you very well.

"Mr. Avery, please keep my identity a secret at all costs." In reality, Avery had already sensed that early on.

Still, it pained him to hear an outsider speaking the truth.

"Don't worry, Liv.

You can trust Reginald.

My men are in charge of security, too.

“they'll make sure that you're safe.

What else did you find out?" Olivia gazed at the rain on the other side of the window.

She voiced her guess.

"Mr. Sean is inflicted with slow-acting poison.

Someone had purposely led him to depression.

The accident was just a cover-up.

"Didn't you notice that the place he lives in is filled with desolation in every corner? Even a normal person living here for along time will get depressed, let alone someone who has a broken leg." Avery replied, "His house? I didn't quite notice that.

Ever since the accident, Sean's personality has changed drastically.

"His preferences are also totally different from before.

Our family allowed him to just move out, too.

"You said that he was poisoned, right? Is it very serious?" Olivia frowned.

"If it's just a few months, the poison won't have much of an effect.

But if it has been going on for years, the poison will affect the man's sperm, and the victim will become infertile.

"various organs will also slowly fail to function, and the worst thing is..." On the other end of the line, Avery was already holding his breath.

"What is it?" "This poison is undetectable in a short period.

The victim will, at most, look depressed.

"By the time they notice that something is wrong with their body, their body is already ruined.

"Mr. Sean didn't live with your family.

So, during the time you didn't see him, you'd only think that he developed mental problems because of his accident.

"You wouldn't link it to poison.

"The person who poisoned him is very cruel and quite patient as well.

“Mr. Avery, who did your family offend? This poison is called the Intoxicating Veil.

It's a type of toxin developed by the Toxic Hive." Avery gritted his teeth in anger.

"The Toxic Hive again!" Olivia found it quite coincidental as well.

After all, her background had something to do with the mastermind in Toxic Hive.

The Fordhams were involved with the Toxic Hive, and even Ethan's sister was involved as well.

Could this all be part of someone's plan? "The poison is like alcohol.

You don't feel drunk at first, and it slowly seeps into your organs.

"By the time you notice it, you're already wasted, and it'll be too late by then.

"It's not apparent on the surface, and there aren't any symptoms.

"But after so many years, Mr. Sean's blood test reports should show that something is off.

Someone is hiding the truth." Olivia went straight to the point.

“This person must be someone very close to you.

Think about it.

Who could it be?"
