Even After Death

Olivia looked at Jacqueline with a disdainful smile.

"Scared? I thought you didn't feel fear.

1 won't kill you, Jacqueline Fordham.

I'll make you watch your hard-won prizes vanish from your sight.

You should know how it feels like to be at your wit's end." "You can't do this to me, Olivia! This is torture! This is against humanity!" "Humanity? Why should I treat you like a human?" Olivia yanked Jacqueline over by the wrist.

Jacquline couldn't break free due to the chains, and she was barely breathing from Leia's torture before Olivia's arrival.

All she could do was to watch Olivia inject the cold liquid into her arm.

The syringe soon emptied.

"I wanted to kill you even before I found out that you were my enemy." Olivia flung away Jacqueline's arm.

Olivia pinched Jacqueline's chin.

"I know you're smart.

Family is not the thing you care about the most.

Love is not it either.

It's an abundance of wealth and power.

You worked so hard just to escape from poverty, that poor place you were born in.

"It surely wasn't easy to afford all those expensive clothes, was it? Well, I'll strip them off you one by one.

Let's start with your face." Olivia's fingers traced along Jacqueline's cheek.

"Have you forgotten what your face looked like? You've used my face for so long.

It's alright.

I'll help you remember." "You don't know what I looked like in the past!" Jacqueline barked.

"Oh really?" Olivia took her phone out.

"Let me show you something interesting.” They were photos of the young Jacqueline.

However, the last few photos were that of the face of a stranger.

At first glance, those were Jacqueline's biological parents from the mountains! There were photos of her two younger brothers and elder sister too! Jacqueline recognized them at a single glance.

"They live in a rural area.

How did you find them?" She was dubious.

"There are no secrets in this world.

You're so cruel, Jacqueline.

You could've let them live a good life, but you didn't.

Your younger brothers have never seen the world outside those mountains.

They're so poor that they can't find themselves a wife." Jacqueline scowled.

"You want me to feed them? No way.

Those two old fogeys almost strangled me to death because I was born a girl! Since they wanted a son that much, I wanted to see how my brothers could make a footing in society.

I'm not as generous as you are." "I'm glad to hear that." Olivia showed the last photo.

"This photo is Al- generated with the photos of your younger self and your family.

I'll contact the best plastic surgeon for you.

You should look like yourself for once and for all." 1 Compared to getting killed, seeing her old photos was more torturing to Jacqueline.

"Please don't do this to me.

Don't you want to know where Deborah is? I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!" To deal with someone like Jacqueline, stripping her mask off worked better than physical torture. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Great.

Other than that, I want to know about Brandon.

Where did he hide my mother?" As soon as she said that, Olivia heard the commotion outside.

"What's happening out there?" Willow pointed at the sky through the window.

A swarm of bugs flew at full pelt, forming a black moving cloud in the sky.

Due to the distance and the small size of the bugs, Olivia couldn't discern what kind of bugs they were.

Jacqueline smirked creepily.

"All of you are going to die here today, Olivia."
