Even After Death

The man leaned in and kissed the woman on her neck.

Their intertwined bodies were clearly reflected in the full-length mirror.

The woman in the man's arms was none other than Jacqueline.

The elegant look she put on for outsiders was gone.

She didn't have the passionate gaze of a lover, either.

Instead, she just had an extremely cold expression on her face as she gazed at the man fiddling with her.

Jacqueline's mind was filled with Olivia's common-looking face.

That woman was just too suspicious.

Firstly, Jacqueline couldn't find out about her background at all.

Secondly, even though humility was a great quality, she had belittled herself too much.

In his current condition, how could Sean possibly get a doctor from nowhere? Who exactly had sent her? Jacqueline had chatted with her for a long time, but she couldn't glean any useful information from the latter.

This was obviously abnormal.

Jacqueline sensed that someone in the Fordham family was already secretly looking into things.

She felt pain in her earlobe.

The man had bit her hard.

"You're still distracted even at times like this. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Who are you thinking about?" Jacqueline shoved him away.

Then, she picked up the coat the man had tossed onto the floor.

She said with a cold face, "I'm not interested." The man refused to give in.

He forcefully pulled her back into his embrace.

"What exactly is the matter? You've been looking upset ever since you came back from your brother's place.

Who bullied you?" Jacqueline sat in front of a dressing table at the side.

She pulled the drawer open and retrieved a pack of ladies' cigarettes from it before skilfully lighting one.

Her figure was slender and tall, and when she was smoking, she would half-close her eyes.

She looked cold and resolute, like a rose in the dark.

She looked completely different from the adorable Ms.

Jacqueline everyone knew.

Jacqueline slowly breathed out some smoke.

"Sean got a doctor." "It's just a doctor.

The Fordhams have been hiring countless doctors for him in the past few years.

The man put on a vicious smile as he said nonchalantly, "With that leg of his and the poison in his body, which has probably seeped into his organs, if everything goes well, he'll die within three years at most.

"What are you scared of? Our plan will succeed very soon." Jacqueline patted herself on the chest.

"For some reason, I feel uneasy when I look at her." The feeling was the exact same one she felt when she suddenly faced Olivia back then.

It was a fear that stemmed from the depths of her soul.

"You're just paranoid.

Now, you're the only one who can take over the Fordhams.

Mr.

Fordham Senior has also said that he will give you the shares on your 28th birthday.

"When that happens, you'll be in control of the Fordham family." The man changed the subject.

"If you're so worried about this doctor, I'll help you deal with her." novelbin Jacqueline raised her hand.

"Stay put.

I feel like Avery is starting to suspect something.

"The only two people capable of getting a doctor for Sean are either Avery or Vox.

"If she doesn't die, what do we do if she figures out all those secrets?" Jacqueline's long nails, which were painted in a nude color, tapped rhythmically against the table.

"This doctor has suspicious origins, and she even hides her talent on purpose.

The man scoffed.

"No one is without weaknesses.

If we can find a chance, we'll—" "Right, that child." Jacqueline's eyes lit up.

That child would be the perfect target.
