Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel Chapter 1279

Wayne, who hadn't completely woken up before this, was suddenly wide awake. His head still felt hazy and heavy.

The needles on his head were already removed. The fragrance in the room had just run out, and there was a strong lingering smell in the air.

He felt uncomfortable, so he got up unsteadily and opened the windows.

He finally felt a little better after the fragrance had dissipated in the cold wind.

However, he still felt some pressure in his head. He yawned, glancing around the room. Olivia was long gone.

As expected, that woman had left again.

Reaching up, Wayne pinched the bridge of his nose. When he lowered his gaze, he realized that the ring on his finger was missing.

In an instant, his mind cleared. A slip of paper was placed on the table, and the elegant handwriting on it came into view.

"Mr. Maxwell, don't trust women so easily in the future. I have taken my reward."

When Wayne recalled everything that had happened recently, he could hardly believe that he was being lied to.

He gripped the paper so hard that his joints turned white. There was a cold and gloomy look in his eyes.

Then, Alan suddenly barged in.

Noticing that there was something off about Wayne's expression, he asked, "Mr. Maxwell, where's Dr. Ophelia?"

A piece of paper gently drifted down from Wayne's hands. Wayne's voice was unusually calm as he said, "She stole my ring."

"What?" Alan was shocked. He had never seen anyone so bold before. It was like picking a fight with a lion!

The rain pitter-pattered on the tree branches in the yard. Wayne felt as if there was a storm in his heart as well.

"She hasn't gone far. Seal off the whole area!" Ike's voice rang out. As expected, his sixth sense was right.

That woman was indeed suspicious.

Alan recalled how he had fought his own brother for Olivia's sake just a while ago. Olivia's actions were like a slap across his face.

"Damn it, she tricked us!"

Ike and Alan looked at Wayne with expressions of concern in their eyes.

After all, this was Wayne's first time falling for someone, but that person ended up being a scammer.
