Chapter 1074
Ethan arrived very soon.
Olivia initially planned to visit again some other day. The idea of meeting him in this kind of situation made her feel weird.
However, the rushing man arrived before she could bid Otto goodbye.
Marina had done so many things back then. She was the cause of the Carlton couple’s and Jeff’s death.
Otto was helpless and guilty about it, so he requested Ethan to call off the engagement.
These years, Marina intended to make up for it to win back Ethan’s heart. But she couldn’t contact him because he blocked her number
Now, Ethan was finally coming! It wasn’t easy to meet him. Even Otto was looking forward to it.
If Ethan hadn’t refused it, he could’ve been the best candidate to
inherit the Carlton family.
The butler informed Marina beforehand, getting her all excited.
She hurriedly set a layer of powder on her face as she didn’t want.
Otto to find out about her matter with Fabian.
She had driven her parents and Chris’ death. She didn’t want to do the same thing to her grandfather, who was the only person treating her
well.
Fabian took advantage of her guilt and hence he had it his way on her
for so many years.
Poppy was the only person in the loop, but she couldn’t do anything
about it.
“Hurry, push me out of the room. Ethan is here.”
Olivia was viewing the snow under the roof when Ethan and his men entered the place with hurried steps,
All these years, Marina could only look up his information online.
Now that she saw him in person, mixed feelings churned in her
stomach.
It was a mixture of joy and excitement.
Forgetting about the condition of her legs, she threw herself at him and fell onto the ground.
Despite the emotional ride in her, she merely called his name, “Ethan..
To her dismay, Ethan paid no heed to her at all. He bypassed her, running toward Olivia.
Even though Olivia was wearing a mask, he was experiencing the same emotional moment as Marina did the moment he met Olivia’s
eyes.
He loved her and was afraid that she would vanish from his life.
“Ethan, you’re finally here.” Otto’s voice pulled Ethan’s senses back
from the reverie.
Only then did Ethan withdraw his gaze and put up an act. “It’s been a
while, Mr. Carlton Senior. HOW
Otto, who was sitting in a wheelchair, shook his head. Ever since that woman cut off the medicine supply, his condition was deteriorating.
He was stepping into his waning years.
No matter how much he wanted to deny it, it was a fate that he had to
accept.
“How can I be fine at this age? How could you not visit me at least
once?”
“Sorry. I was quite busy the past few years.”
While they were sharing words of courtesy, Olivia watched Fabian carry Marina from the ground to her wheelchair.
Mockery laced the corner of his lips as he whispered into her ear.
Although Olivia couldn’t hear him, she could guess what he told
Marina.
Ethan’s patience was running out as Otto kept talking to him. Ethan
averted the topic, “This is…”
Otto introduced, “This is the famous doctor I invited over to treat
Marina. She’s Vanessa.”
“Oh, Vanessa. I’ve heard a lot about you. It is an honor to meet you in
person.
He pretentiously reached out for a handshake.
The corner of Olivia’s lips twitched. If someone didn’t give him an
award for his acting, it wouldn’t do his acting justice.
Left with no choice, she stretched her hand out.
Mr. Miller.”
He tickled her palm lightly while shaking hands with her.
In spite of that, he wore a polite expression. “Do you know me? What have you heard about me?”
She attempted three times before she could withdraw her hand successfully from him.
“I heard that you’re a gentleman who has been staying single after divorce. And that you’re a hot catch among the ladies in Aldenvine.”

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 …
