Chapter 1009
Cyril could tell the change in Ethan’s mood.
Sensibly, Cyril closed the door before lowering his voice. “Any orders, Mr. Miller?”
Ethan took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He suppressed his emotions to analyze the current situation.
If there were a change in Olivia’s relationship with Colin, it would be too late for Ethan to stop them right now.
On the other side, if they didn’t have S*x, that meant that Colin had yet to win her heart.
If that were the case, Colin would resent Ethan more than Ethan resented Colin.
Therefore, Ethan shouldn’t dig his own grave at such a crunch moment. It was best he figured out the duo’s relationship first.
Ethan cleared up his mind and whispered a few words into Cyril’s ear.
“This is too dangerous, Mr. Miller.” Cyril was obviously reluctant to do it.
“Do as I say. We need to sacrifice something in order to catch the wolf.”
Cyril couldn’t follow Ethan.
What did Ethan mean by catching the wolf?
Ethan stayed in the room obediently while Cyril described the yard and surroundings to him.
A simple map was drawn on Ethan’s palm to give him a picture of the complicated descriptions.
It was tough for an ordinary person to understand. But for someone as smart as Ethan, he was able to structure a map in his head.
He familiarized himself with the room again. With calculations, he was clearly aware of the position and height of the objects in the
room.
“Okay. Take me outside.
IL
Cyril held his hand to bring him around the area.
According to Cyril, Ethan learned that Olivia stayed in the house next door.
The sky was getting dark. Wendy was making medicines in the yard
The men could hear her explaining the function of the herbs to Willow, too.
Olivia and Colin weren’t around. Ethan wondered, “Are they starting their night with their so-called ritual?”
Despite the anxiety scratching in him, he appeared calm.
Noticing his slow movements, Wendy beckoned him over, “Come over here, young man.
Cyril introduced Wendy to Ethan, “Mr. Miller, this is Madam Wendy.”
“Although I’ve been here for days, this is my first time introducing myself officially to you, Madam Wendy. Thank you so much for saving me.

Since she had guessed his identity right, he figured that it was better to be honest than to hide himself.
Honesty was the best weapon that could be used.
Wendy was Olivia’s savior, and he genuinely respected her for that.
“You’re nothing like that haughty brat. I heard that she’s your fiancée,” asked Wendy. She was testing him.
Ethan hurriedly explained, “I wasn’t able to explain my relationship with her because I was poisoned before this. She’s the daughter of my mentor and nothing else.
“From the way I see, that lady likes you a lot. Do you not have feelings for her at all?”
“You must be joking. Flowers bloom every year. If every flower has to be appreciated and loved, I’m afraid I’ll be much busier than I am right
now.
“You hold yourself in high regard, huh?”
He said confidently, “I’m merely stating the truth. One might be loving enough to reciprocate everyone’s feelings for him, but that’s what a bastard does.
“I’m an obsessive and selfish person. Once I fall in love with
someone, my feelings for her will never change.
“You don’t look young. You’re married, aren’t you? Since you’re
married, how can you let another woman pester you?
“I don’t think your record is as clean as you claim it is.
Cyril quickly explained, “Ms. Heath started pestering him only after Mr. Miller divorced.
“He rejected Ms. Heath before, but she was too stubborn to give up
on him. Mr. Miller only has his eyes on Mrs. Miller.”
Wendy smirked. “If you loved her deeply, why did you divorce? Ultimately, it’s because you didn’t love her enough.”

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 …
