Even After Death

Chapter 227

Olivia returned home with her anger unappeased. She turned on her laptop to check on the trackers.

It was the trackers she gifted to the six secretaries.

Four of them were currently at the Golden Hall Apartment. She was aware that it was an accommodation arranged for the higher-ups.

Nancy was currently in a bar. It suited her character well.

She was an executive secretary during the day and a party queen at night.

The brooch Olivia placed on Grace’s table showed weird signs.

It wandered almost every corner of the city before settling in a waste disposal site.

Olivia kneaded her forehead, thinking that there was something off about Grace.

Who would ever loathe an expensive item?

Yet, it turned out that Grace had discarded the brooch from Olivia into a trash can.

Olivia contacted Jack, wondering if he had new findings. However, his phone was turned off.

She was concerned, worrying that something might have happened to him.

His identity was special yet mysterious. She never knew his face despite knowing each other for so long. Thus, she supposed that the mastermind didn’t know about it either.

Moreover, he carried weapons everywhere he went. He could defend himself if anything happened.

Olivia figured that his phone was turned off because he didn’t want to expose his whereabouts.

With that, she shrugged the negative thoughts off her mind.

After she secured her target, she wanted to obtain Grace’s information as soon as possible.

Olivia had a restless sleep that night. As soon as she closed her eyes, a yelling Ethan crossed her mind.

It was as if he was an enraged beast on the loose in the night.

Based on her understanding, he was a man who kept his cool in any situation.

As his record in the company stated, no one knew what he truly liked. His mood seemed to be a mystery impossible to be solved.

Ethan was acting out of character a few hours ago. Obviously, Leia’s death was a huge blow to him.

Olivia had learned her lesson. She decided not to mention anything regarding Leia in front of him in the future.

She could get to the bottom of it herself.

She went to work the next day. She wondered how Sophia settled the issue last night.

As soon as Olivia entered the office, she noticed something different about Sophia.

The latter was wearing a branded scarf. Not even the thick layer of powder could make up for her haggard expression. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Noticing Olivia’s arrival, Sophia shot her a glare like a menacing wolf.

Surprisingly, she didn’t utter a word and headed straight to the office.

Olivia took her mug to the pantry to get some water. The moment she entered the pantry, the whispering people dispersed.

They kept sneaking glimpses of her, too.

She could easily guess what they were discussing.

Even the members of Team B, whom she was unfamiliar with, stopped in their tracks to tease her. “Team C has cultivated a capable person.

“I heard that Ms. Linden brought their newcomer to a meeting for the first time and managed to get a deal. The newcomer is amazing.

“1

“I guess she’s amazing in bed.”

“Olivia, I heard that Mr. Lincoln has a lot of kinks. Is that true?”

Only then did Olivia realize that Sophia had sacrificed herself in order to get the deal.

Team B had their sources for such information. Now that Team C was performing better than them, they couldn’t stand it. Thus, they were venting their displeasure on Olivia.

After fetching water, she smiled. “If you’re that curious, why don’t you ask around for his schedule and sneak underneath his bed tonight? You might find out something.”

One of the members from Team B said, “I guess you don’t know your place as a rookie after getting the deal. You’re bold.” “Bold? I bet she acts all soft and frail in front of Mr. Lincoln.”

They were getting out of control, so Olivia didn’t pull herself back. “Excuse me, is he your father? Does he know that you’re this worried about your mommy?”

“What did you just say, you bitch? Everyone knows what you did. How dare you bark at me like that?

“If I were you, I would’ve resigned from my position and left the company instead of humiliating myself here.”

Olivia snorted. “My, my. Am I your daddy or your mommy? Why do you care so much about my business?”

A stern and unfamiliar voice resounded. “What’s with the noise?”
