Chapter 393
Even After Death
Soon, the door swung open. Olivia tightly grasped the hem of her sleeves.
There was a switch between Olivia and Leiaâs positions.
Olivia had found out that Leia was the mastermind, but Leia was clueless about Oliviaâs
presence.
Now that they were going to meet up in person, Olivia couldnât help but feel nervous.
A woman in a white dress entered the room. She was tall and skinny.
She was wearing a mask, but her exposed skin was as fair as snow.
The sheer look of her figure alone was enough for others to guess how gorgeous the face under
that mask was.
Judging from how she was walking like a normal person, it seemed like she had been pretending to be
a janitor who had a problem with her legs.
She had even darkened her face to avoid grabbing unwanted attention.
The breeze fluttered the hem of her dress, giving off the impression that she was a gentle and
kind woman.
Begonia stopped three meters away from Avery. Her voice was hoarse when she said, âMr. Y, I heard
that you were looking for me.
It must be her original voice, which was different from before. It wasnât that mellifluous. It sounded as
though her vocal cords had been injured before.
Avery crossed his legs while turning his green chrysoberyl ring, exuding a cold, dominant air.
His gaze swept across Ryan and Jennifer. âGet out.â
They were obviously slightly concerned about it, but they didnât dare to cross the line in front of Avery.
Left with no choice, they walked out of the room.
Now that there were only three of them in the room, Olivia tried her best to suppress her
emotions.
She remembered what Avery had said. Today, she was here only to confirm Leiaâs identity.
Knowing how vigilant Leia was, Olivia intentionally hushed her breath.
Leia, who was standing straight, didnât show any signs of fear despite being the only Toxic
Hive member in the room.
Avery rose from his seat and approached her.
He stood before her and rested his hands behind him, staring at Leia coldly. âHow have you been all
these years?â
She hung her head low, so no one could read her expression. âThanks to you, Madam has been
treating me well. I will never forget what you did to save me.â
Oliviaâs eyes widened as she realized that they knew each other.
Furthermore, Leia was treating Avery with respect.
âI remember that you left when you were 11 years old,â he recounted.
âYes.â
He held up one of his hands before his chest. âYou were this tall back then.â
Leia curled her fingers to ball a fist. She uttered through her gritted teeth, âYes.â
âYouâve grown a lot taller, but youâre as skinny as you were before.â He reached out for her mask,
intending to take it off.
Leia reflexively moved to hold her mask, but in the end, she didnât stop him.
Olivia was well aware that Toxic Hive members wouldnât remove their masks unless the other
party was a close acquaintance.
That was a mere knee-jerk reaction against Averyâs action. When Leia got herself together, she didnât
stop him.
Avery pulled the mask to the back of her head. Leia could just about smell his faint body scent.
Her heart was racing.
Meanwhile, Olivia found it strange how such a daring woman could be this meek.
When Leiaâs mask was slowly taken off, her hair covered half of her face.
A nervous Olivia gulped.
Avery raised Leiaâs chin, saying, âLong time, no see, little kid.â
Olivia was stunned the moment she saw Leiaâs face.
