Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel Chapter 1645

Olivia hugged Willow. "Willow, I know you're doing this for me. But I'll never put you in danger no matter what happens."

Jacqueline's record was far off the scale of cruelty. Plus, she hated Olivia the most in the world. How could Olivia let her daughter be the hostage with peace of mind?

Willow shook her head, trying her best to convince Olivia. "I'm not afraid, Mom."

Olivia tightened her arms gently around her. "But I'm scared, Willow. I risked my life to bring you to this world, baby. You're my precious daughter. Since I've brought you to this world, I should be responsible for you. No matter what the future holds, I'll never let you face the consequences."

Ethan finally knew the reason behind his children's bright personalities. It was because Olivia would never give up on them.

She was determined to protect them, and they grew up loving her.

Love should never be a one-sided thing.

Olivia comforted Willow before looking at Jacqueline. "No one can be your hostage. I can only offer you the freedom to decide the venue of the deal. That's my limit. Don't forget that you have a Lifebond Curse on you too."

"What are you gloating about, Olivia? I'm suffering from the curse, and so are you. I'll make sure you feel the same pain that I do."

"Do you think that scares me? I've been suffering for half of my life." Olivia snorted coldly.

Jacqueline had never seen Olivia acting so firm before.

Olivia continued, "Get back to your senses, Jacqueline. Look who's the one controlling the situation right now. You can't do whatever you want. You want to negotiate? I can offer you a chance. If you don't want to take it, be prepared for what's coming for you."

Then, Olivia left with Willow without sparing a glance at Jacqueline.

Just because Jacqueline had the Lifebond curse, everyone was being careful around her for fear that they might indirectly hurt Olivia.

Their blood was boiling from fury, but none of them dared to let off steam.
