Chapter 94
The coastal road was famous for its night view. The shimmering bright lights on both sides of the wide
asphalt road made it seem like a stairway to heaven.
Olivia rolled down the car window, letting the sea breeze into the car. The chilly breeze seemed to cool
her emotions.
While driving, Everly reminded her, “Be careful not to catch a cold.”
“It’s just for a little while,” Olivia replied. She rested her arms on the window sill and leaned her head on
it. Then, she closed her eyes, enjoying the liberating feeling the wind brought.
“Hey, I’ve made up my mind. After I die, scatter my ashes into the sea,” Olivia suddenly said.
Everly slammed on the brakes, stopping the car by the roadside. “Olivia, don’t make such jokes in the
middle of the night. It’s not funny at all.”
Olivia opened the door and got out of the car, taking in the sea breeze.

“I initially planned to buy the Fordham residence back and have you bury my ashes under the tree in
the courtyard. Since I was born there, it would be great if I could be buried there too. Besides, I figured
that if I couldn’t ever see my father again-”
Olivia paused for a moment before she continued, “Since he wouldn’t give me that chance, it doesn’t
matter. When we die, we all turn into dust. It doesn’t make a difference where I’m buried.”
Tears welled up in Everly’s eyes as she held Olivia, crying aloud, “Why does it not matter? If you’re
buried at the Fordham residence, I can visit you and pay my respects.
“But if your ashes are in the sea, I’ll need to steal Poseidon’s trident to see you!”
Olivia smiled in response. “You’re quite the jester.”
“Liv, look, you look so beautiful when you smile. Please smile more often,” Everly pleaded.
“Okay.” Olivia put on a wide smile. “After going through so much, I’ve also come to accept many things.
It’s all part of life. The more we want certain things and certain people, the more difficult they are to
attain.
“Once, I loved someone with all my heart. He made me experience emotions I never knew existed, but
now everything is gone.
It’s time for me to move on.”
Everly hugged her tightly for a long time, unable to let go.
At that moment, she hated herself for being a nobody who lacked both power and wealth to help Olivia.
She despised the capitalists who ruled the world, snatching away everything that others cherished with
a mere flick of their wrist.
She secretly swore to make a lot of money and climb to the position she hated, just so she could look
down at the rest of the
world.
Yet would the person she wanted to protect most still be around by then?

Olivia ordered a bowl of soup and watched Everly enjoy herself. During their meal, Everly mentioned
that she wanted to skewer Ethan and Marina like barbecue skewers and roast them on the grill
repeatedly.
As Olivia drank her soup, she smiled and took out her phone. Pinned at the top of her conversation list
was her conversation
with “Mr. Miller.”
When she checked his profile picture, she realized that it hadn’t been changed; it was one of the couple
photos she’d coerced him to take. He was in black, and she was in white.
Zooming into the picture, one could tell from the shadows that there was a woman with him.
Meanwhile, his shadow was in Olivia’s profile picture too. Back then, she’d claimed that even their
shadows were inseparable.
Olivia deleted his contact. When their conversation disappeared, it felt as if he’d disappeared from her
life as well.
