Chapter 108
Brent was quick in handling matters. He managed to receive a notarial certificate on the same day.
Olivia was aware of how she was able to retrieve the house.
It was thanks to the fact that she was willing to risk her safety to protect Connor. She did it out of reflex at that moment.
Even if Connor was Marina’s son, he was an innocent child.
She smiled self–mockingly. There was a cut on her eyebrow, and she received the Fordham residence in exchange.
The moment she shut her eyes, she always recalled how Marina forced her to get on her knees.
She couldn’t help but clench her fists.
Olivia spent the following two days peacefully. Not only did she retrieve the Fordham residence, but Ethan also didn’t show up
in front of her.
Coover found new findings regarding Jeff as he sent a few pictures to her.
At that moment, she was eating the cherries Everly prepared.
When she saw the pictures, the cherry in her hand fell onto the floor before it reached her mouth.
Her phone fell onto the floor, too.
Everly’s l*ps were rosy because of the fruits. She looked back at Olivia’s pale face.
“What’s wrong? The share price plummeted? Or a celebrity caught in a scandal?”
Olivia didn’t answer Everly as she broke into a cold sweat.
“What’s the matter? You look like you’re possessed. Don’t scare me. I’m a coward,” Everly muttered while picking the phone
- up.
The phone screen was still unlocked, so she saw the pictures.
It was a car accident. A truck bulldozed across the greenbelt before crashing into a black car, crushing it flat.
“Isn’t this your father’s car? Are you alright? Why are you looking at these?”
Olivia finally found her voice, but her voice was trembling. “L–Look at the other pictures.”
Everly sensed something was off. Her expression turned solemn. “Isn’t this Ethan?”
One of the pictures showed Ethan standing under a nearby tree.
He stood there quietly. The sunlight danced through the leaves, casting an eerie pattern over his face.
His face seemed colder than usual because of it.
Wearing the haughty expression he always wore, he witnessed the whole accident.
Olivia held Everly’s hand. Everly realized that Olivia’s hands were clammy with sweat.
Everly comforted her, “Liv, calm down. Call Ethan and ask him.”
“Eve, do you think that it is a coincidence?” Olivia’s voice was quivering
“My father’s car crash wasn’t an accident. He planned everything” She could barely tell the cruel truth.
“P–Perhaps, he just happened to stand right there…”
Olivia grabbed Everly’s arm tightly. “On the same day, a few car crashes happened at the same time.
“The roads were blocked, so the ambulance couldn’t arrive in time.
Chapter 108
2/2
“If Dad had received an emergency treatment, he wouldn’t have suffered a side–effect. He’s been hospitalized for two years.
“Eve, it is Ethan. He planned everything. He planned the car crashes to stall time. He wanted my father to die at the scene!”
“That is a living person. Even if Ethan is a scumbag, that is his father–in–law.
“He wouldn’t do such a thing.” Everly didn’t know what else to say.
Olivia was crying and smiling at the same time. The smile was awful.
“You don’t know him. He’s capable of doing anything.”
He had fertilized flowers with someone else’s ashes before.
As long as he wanted to achieve something, there was nothing he wouldn’t do.
“I thought he took revenge on Dad to make us go bankrupt. I didn’t relate him to the car crash at all. He is a devil! He murdered my father!”
“Liv…” Everly was at her wit’s end as she didn’t know how to comfort Olivia.
The picture proved that he was present during the car crash. It didn’t indicate that he was the mastermind.
Yet, Olivia was certain that he was the culprit.
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 …
