Chapter 363
Even After Death
Ottoâs words shook Marina. He patted her shoulder and said, âThereâs no need to be afraid. I have
killed plenty of people on the battlefield. I wouldnât be resorting to such methods if your father had
listened to me and had a baby. Heâs too crazy about her.â
âSo her leukemia didnât develop by chance?â Marina looked at Otto in shock.
The bloodlust in Ottoâs eyes remained strong. He said with a cold smile, âThatâs right. I had wanted
your father to marry a woman thatâs a match for our family after your mother passed away. But he
married Chloe instead. She could no longer bear a child after her miscarriage.
âI asked your father to find another healthy woman and have a baby, but he refused. Thatâs why I had
to do this.â
Marinaâs fingers held onto the chairâs armrests tightly. She was the one who caused Chloeâs
miscarriage. She had hated Chloe ever since she was a child. She felt like Chloe stole Chrisâ love from
her mother.
Marina thought if Chloe gave birth to a baby, even her father would be taken from her.
Marina had felt happy that Chloe could no longer bear a child when she found out. She didnât expect
her actions to cause Otto to harbor murderous intentions toward Chloe.
Otto noticed that Marina was silent. He softened his attitude and said, âMarina, you must be vicious to
hold on to your status. Donât blame me for being ruthless. Everything I do is for you and our family.â
âI know that, Grandpa.â
âThatâs good. I need you to be on my side. Donât tell your father about the bone marrow. Donât worry.
First, weâll take care of Chloe. Then, weâll handle Olivia. As long as you donât reveal your bone marrow
compatibility, she wonât have long to live.â
âAlright.â
âGood girl. Now, I have an important guest to meet.â
âGuest? Who is it?â
âIâll introduce you next time. For now, youâre excused.â
Marina was puzzled. All of Ottoâs friends were overseas. He seldom contacted anyone in the country.
How could he have a guest?
Marina pretended to leave but snuck back and hid behind a tree.
She thought she would be happy to know that Chloe would die soon. But after learning the
truth, she realized she couldnât feel joy at all.
It was a fact that she hated Chloe. But when she thought about how she was the one who caused
Chloeâs infertility, which in turn caused Ottoâs murderous intent, she felt troubled.
Otto was born in the warring era. In those times, men went to the battlefield and killed their enemies to
protect the countryâs peace. Soldiers from that era forged the path for the countryâs prosperity.
Meanwhile, most regular people these days couldnât even slaughter chickens, much less murder
someone.
Otto had always been Marinaâs hero. But a heroic man with many achievements was plotting against a
defenseless woman. Marina didnât know how to feel about that.
The butlerâs voice came from the yard. âMadam, wait here for a moment.â
Marina collected her thoughts and looked at the person. The guest was a woman wearing a black cloak
that covered her entire body. Even her face was covered by a mask with a picture of
a totem.
Her attire didnât look like that of a modern person. Instead, she was like the antagonist of a movie. She
didnât have a single inch of skin exposed.
The woman stood in the yard while the butler said, âPlease take off your cloak, Madam.â
Laughing softly, the madam reached her hand out. Judging from the skin on her hands, she should be
in her 20s or 30s at most. Her nails were long and painted bright red. Her pale skin and blood-red nails
made Marina think of a villainous antagonist.
The woman took off her cloak to reveal a form-fitting dress. Her figure was so good that even Marina
was envious.
Was Otto so sexually active? Did he get a woman at his age?
The door opened with a creak.
