Even After Death

Olivia and her family flew to Saiya Island with Jacqueline.

To Jaqueline's surprise, Olivia brought Willow along instead of a bodyguard.

"I'm warning you, don't play tricks with me unless you don't want to know where your mother is. We agreed only three people. Nothing more than that."

"Don't worry. My daughter knows to cast some curses. She can lift the Heart Devour Curse off you."

Jacqueline frowned while sizing up Willow, obviously looking down upon the child. "She knows how to use curses? Do you take me as a three-year-old? You should switch her with someone else." Olivia and Ethan had grown up in a rich family. How would they know curses?

Jacqueline reminded them, "Keep in mind that you have to lift the Heart Devour Curse off me first or I won't ask them to lift the curse off you. You'll gain nothing from trying to fool me with a kid." Olivia smiled, not replying to that.

It wasn't only curses that Willow knew, but Olivia wouldn't reveal everything about Willow.

That was their trump card; Willow was their best player.

The flight lasted for a few hours. They arrived at Saiya Island before sunset.

It was unpopulated. Most of the indigenous people had gone many years ago.

The number of soldiers was more than that of indigenous people because it was a strategic place for military purposes.

That was the reason why Jacqueline chose this place. The hostility between Arlandia and Carathia wasn't something new. This would put Ethan and Olivia at a disadvantage. Olivia got off the plane smoothly and warmed up her limbs.

The breeze caressed her cheeks as she looked at the coconut trees that filled the place. Someone was selling coconut drinks nearby. Ethan bought two, one for Olivia and one for Willow. Willow smiled at him, showing gratitude.

He stroked her head in response. "Drink it. It must've been a tiring journey for you."

"Buy me one, Ethan. I'm thirsty," Jacqueline requested.

"Put up with it," replied Ethan without looking back at her.

"You-"

Before she could throw he suddenly looked back at her menacingly. "Everything in me is screaming to drain every drop of blood out of you. Wanna try a bloody coconut drink?"

He's a madman. Does he abuse his family?"

Receiving zero response, Jacqueline was frustrated.

She followed the couple as Willow walked side by side with her.

Jacqueline teased, "You're her only child who can't speak. I'm sure they'll abandon you someday."

This kind of joke had always worked for young kids. She wanted Willow to cry.

However, Willow rolled her eyes at Jacqueline instead. It was as if she was watching a clown.

At that moment, Jacqueline thought that she was acting like a child.

"How could you be this rude, kid? No wonder you're dumb—"

Jacqueline coughed, trying to spit out the salty substance in her mouth. "Olivia Fordham, you idiot—" "Jacqueline!" someone called her.

It was a familiar voice.
