Even After Death Novel (Olivia)

Chapter 54

Everly was reluctant to suggest Olivia go home. But Ethan made it clear that he would side with Marina.

Olivia lost the competition when Ethan sided with Marina. With each word he said, he inflicted pain on Olivia. Olivia was too fragile at that moment to endure more hurt.

Shockingly, Olivia, who had been looking for an escape, chose to stay. She instructed Everly, “Didn't you bring a change of clothes? Come with me to the restroom. I'll change my outfit. It's rude to leave when the event hasn't started, don't you think?

Everly was pleasantly surprised by Olivia's courage to stand up to Ethan.

On their way to the restroom, she kept grumbling, “Did you see Ethan Miller's wretched look just now? I almost punched him and tore him into pieces! He's the worst scumbag.”

Olivia smiled helplessly. “Oh, Everly.”

“Liv, are you sure you want to stay? He'll be acting all lovey—dovey with his mistress. He'll make you feel terrible because you still have feelings for him.”

“You were the one who said that I would get over it one day, not to mention that the divorce was all his fault in the first place. Why should I hide away?"

Olivia took the bag with the new dress and entered a cubicle. “Everly, you're right. Even if I only had a day left on earth, I'd live for myself.” She was startled by the dress that Everly brought along. It was bright red and revealing, but she looked sexy in it.

Everly swallowed hard when she saw her bestie in that red dress. “Wow, boob size does matter! That dress looks amazing on you!”

She helped Olivia to draw a red lip. Only Olivia could exude grace in that dress, which might look gaudy on other women otherwise.

The phrase “pure seduction” seemed to be created just for her.

“Let's go.”

Olivia marched into the venue in her heels. She looked even more charming and smart in her pixie cut.

As expected, she became the center of attention when she showed up, making Calista scoff in jealousy. “That's too showy.”

Soon, Olivia heard a familiar and calm voice around her. “Olivia.”

She found Keith standing beside Calvin. She was surprised to see him there, but it made sense for Calvin to invite him because he came from a family of doctors, just like Calvin. Keith waved at her. “Over here!” Keith must have greeted her to save her from the awkward social situation. She'd only embarrass Keith if she turned him down.

Under Ethan's death stare, she calmnly approached Keith and took a seat beside him. They had not seen each other for a while, and he felt relieved upon seeing her healthy appearance.

When most guests were busy groveling to Ethan, Keith gave Olivia his full attention and piled some nutritious foods on her plate.

She was too busy eating to notice Ethap staring at her.

Calvin certainly picked up the odd change in Keith's behavior. “Keith, I've never seen you so focused on a woman. Are you and Olivia...” One of the classmates, Bailey Blanchard, mumbled with a mouthful of food, “I heard Olivia took a leave from school to get married. Is she married to Keith?”
