Chapter 100
Emotional, Olivia violently grabbed Marina’s hair. “Isn’t Ethan a loyal, perfect man? Aren’t you his precious sweetheart? I’m sure everyone would love to hear that he has an ex–wife, and you’re nothing but a heartless, sly woman! I have all the evidence!”
She knew her threat was unlikely to affect the untouchable Ethan, who’d never cared what anyone else thought about him.
However, Marina had worked hard for her achievements, and her reputation was everything to her. Hence, the threat effectively made her quiver in fear.
“Alright, alright, I got it. Well, it’s just Fordham residence. I’ll give it back to you. Just keep the knife away from me.”
“One last thing: if you dare to trouble my friend, I will ruin your reputation. You’re a smart woman, Ms. Carlton. I’m sure you understand that it’s not worth losing everything over such petty matters.”
Before this, Olivia used to think that engaging in such petty fights was unbecoming of her. Now all that mattered was the satisfaction that it brought her.
Marina felt like her scalp was about to be ripped off her head. Her gloating behavior had vanished into thin air, now replaced by desperation instead.
“Yes, yes. I’ll listen to everything you say. The knife, please… My neck hurts.”
The edge of the knife blade was stained bright red with blood. While Olivia had exerted enough strength to make Marina‘ bleed, it was in no way life–threatening.
“Remember this pain. If this happens again, I will kill you right away.”
“Yes, I understand!” Trembling in fear, Marina decided to avoid this psycho in the future.
Finally, Olivia released her grip on Marina’s neck. Cursing her rotten luck, Marina kicked the maid aside as she headed upstairs to shower and get changed.
Connor, who’d been forcibly taken away, was wailing for his parents. Despite her best efforts, the nanny’s attempts to pacify and soothe him were all in vain.
When her phone fell out of her pocket, Connor crawled over to grab it, drooling as he called, “Dad. Call. Call Dad.”
Sometimes, Ethan would video call Connor through the nanny’s phone. Hence, the nanny had no choice but to call Ethan.
When it came to Connor, Ethan always answered his calls immediately. The moment the call connected, he was greeted by the sight of Connor’s bloodshot eyes. He looked like an albino rabbit.
“Dad,” he cried, sounding rather aggrieved.
Ethan wondered what caused Connor to cry like that. After all, he barely cried even when he fell. “What happened?” Ethan
asked.
“Sorry, Mr. Miller. Connor started acting strangely when a guest arrived and insisted on clinging to her. He started crying after I took him away.” Since the nanny was Ethan’s employee, she didn’t withhold any information from him.
“A guest?” Connor hardly ever initiated going near anyone. He wouldn’t even show Marina any affection.
“I think they called her Ms. Fordham,” the nanny answered, oblivious to Olivia and Ethan’s relationship.
Just then, Connor rushed to the window as if he’d made a new discovery.
The nanny trailed after him, calling out to him. Since they were on the second floor, they could see Olivia, who was wiping her hair with a wet towel.
The sight of her filled Connor with excitement. Sprawled on the floor–to–ceiling window, he repeatedly cried, “Mom! Mom!
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
