Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel Chapter 1447

Yale knelt. "I won't change my mind, Dad. Whatever that has to do with your family doesn't concern me. And I'll return everything that belongs to you."

"Fool! You think your grandfather will let you live? You're jumping sides while knowing so many of our family secrets!"

Yale chuckled meaningfully. "I don't intend to fight with the Kingston family. I just want to protect the woman I love forever. If you and Grandpa want me dead, I'll have no choice but to expose some of your secrets.

"Don't forget that I managed the household for many years. I know where the family's biggest vulnerability is."

Gordon beat Yale up to let his steam off. When he was done, he spat at Yale. "You're exactly the same as your mother, useless!"

Olivia hurriedly hid behind a plant. The furious Gordon didn't notice her.

Once Gordon left, Yale fished out a cigarette and a lighter with quivering hands.

As a result of his dislocated arm, the lighter dropped to the ground next to Olivia's foot.

She crouched down to pick it up. The lighter clucked, a flame at its tip.

Yale was a mess. His nose and the corner of his mouth were bleeding. His black slacks were covered with black footprints.

Olivia's appearance didn't surprise him. Biting a cigarette, he smiled helplessly. "You're welcome for the show."

First time witnessing such a forlorn Yale, Olivia couldn't find the right words to say. "You…"

He sat against the wall, breathing out a cloud of smoke that blurred his face.

"He's my father, but I'm an illegitimate child. My mother was a bar girl." He took the initiative to tell his story.

She was slightly taken aback by his origin because not even Ethan knew of it. The Kingstons did a good job burying the story in the dark.

It was no wonder the youngest son of the Kingston family was spoiled while Yale had to shoulder such a heavy burden.

"But I have nothing to do with the Kingstons from today onward. Ms. Fordham, believe it or not, I didn't do all this to earn favors from the Heath family. I just don't want to put Molly in a tough spot."
