Even after her death novel

Chapter 241 Surprisingly, Ethan wasn't mad. Instead, he tossed away the cigarette in his hand. Olivia was about to leave, but he didn't stop her. His voice rang coldly in the air. "Olivia, you'd better not

be lying." He stared straight at Olivia, who was leaving. He thought that she would come back, but she didn't

even turn around. The wind put out the last bits of ember from the cigarette stub. Olivia was already gone from the

rooftop. Ethan looked up at the night sky above him. Heavy clouds covered the sky, so only a few stars

could be seen. "What exactly is Olivia hiding?" he wondered. He thought of her words that day. If Jeff wasn't the one who killed Leia, then who could it be? "Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller has been gone for a while now." Standing in the dark, Brent looked just like

Ethan's shadow. Ethan heaved a long sigh. "Brent, I want to reinvestigate Leia's incident." "Is it for Mrs. Miller's sake?" Brent couldn't understand. The incident was already set in stone, and it was also Ethan's greatest taboo. Usually, he wouldn't

allow anyone to mention it, much less do anything about it. If he wanted to reinvestigate the matter, he would be reopening his wounds. It might be many times

more painful than last time. Ethan replied, "It happened too suddenly back then. The evidence seemed solid, but I was furious

when I made the decision back then. "In the two years that followed, I lost myself in the sorrow of losing Leia, and I blamed Leia's death on

her. If …" Ethan's arm trembled for an instant. "If it truly wasn't Jeff, how should I face her?" Many aspects of the incident weren't analyzed. Ethan was especially sensitive about this topic, so

everyone had been avoiding it without another thought. "Mr. Miller, there's evidence for what happened back then. Don't think too much about it." Ethan looked at Brent. "What's Jeff like to you?" Brent replied, "Putting this incident aside, he used to be gentle and elegant. He was also friendly and

generous. He was a good father, someone passionate about life. "If not for that incident, I would think he's a good man." Ethan responded, "Yes, if it weren't for that incident, everything wouldn't have changed." Brent felt something off about Ethan's expression. "Mr. Miller, you're saying that …" "How much time did we take to figure out the truth after we discovered the body?" "Around a week." Ethan lit another cigarette. "Thinking back on it, don't you think it went too smoothly? It feels like a hand

was creating a lead on purpose. We just had to follow the lead to find all the answers." Brent shook his head. "But it was true that the victims had mental illnesses, and it was true that they

ended their own lives. "Mr. Miller, I know you care about Mrs. Miller, but you can't twist the truth." Ethan looked up at Brent. "What are you trying to say?" Brent replied, "I don't agree with the reinvestigation. Back then, you were shocked by the incident. Mrs.

Miller didn't know what you went through the past two years. "If this matter is brought up again, your wounds will have to be reopened. I fear that your illness will get

worse." Brent continued, "Let's say that it truly wasn't Jeff who did it and there's someone behind the scenes. "How long did that person take to prepare everything? Is it a male or a female? What objectives do they

have? "If they wanted to separate you and Mrs. Miller, they've already achieved their goal. But recently, there

haven't been any changes to your life, Mr. Miller. "You didn't even meet anyone new." Ethan rubbed his temples. He sullenly puffed out a cloud of white smoke. Brent patted him on the shoulder. "You need to sleep. You've been too tired for the past few years." "Fine, this incident ends here. Let's go back" Ethan put out his cigarette, then left the rooftop dejectedly. Brent was right. Every part of the incident had solid proof, so nothing could've gone wrong. He

shouldn't waste time on these things. If Olivia wanted to investigate it, he wouldn't stop her from doing whatever she wanted.
