Chapter 124
Ethan looked at Colin, who was in the way. He pulled him to the side and even kicked him once.
Then, he ordered, “Drag him away.”
Brent saw that the mood wasn’t right. He quickly dragged Colin away and closed the door behind him.
Ethan leaned forward and slowly approached Olivia. The temperature dropped as he got closer.
He gritted his teeth and ran his fingers across Olivia’s face.
Ethan then said in an emotionless voice, “Do you know what I hate the most?”
Olivia met his angry face and said, “Betrayal and scheming behind your back.”
He reached out, held her chin, and said, “I’ve told you before. Do not test me, Olivia.”
Olivia wanted to tell him about her discovery.
But the evidence she had on her could only prove that her medical examination report had been swapped out. She didn’t have any hard evidence.
In the end, he would just blame her for telling lies.
She swallowed the words that she was about to say. She preferred to humiliate him after the truth was out.
Apparently, Ethan was also not in the mood to listen to her excuses.
Olivia originally thought that Marina was the one behind all the schemes.
She was the only one who had the motive to do so. Then she thought about what happened at Collington Cove last time.
Marina had ordered her to kneel and tried to disfigure her.
It was clear that Marina’s tricks were only at the level of a jealous woman. She was not on the same level as the person behind everything that had happened.
In addition, Marina didn’t know about her stomach cancer.
If not, she’d definitely be turning things up a notch. She wouldn’t have kept to the mild tactics she had been using.
Olivia ruled out Marina as the mastermind.
She rolled her eyes and put her hands around Ethan’s neck. Her sudden show of affection puzzled Ethan.
How long has it been since he saw her smile like that?
It was a pure and beautiful smile. It was like a flower in the rain, being cleansed of dirt and hatred.
He fell for her all over again.
She whispered seductively, “Why don’t you replace the traces he left on me with yours?”
Meanwhile, Calista was reporting the good news to Marina. “It is done, Marina!”
Marina pushed aside the women who were fawning over her and went to a corner with her.
“Are you sure?” Marina whispered.
“Definitely! I saw Colin drink the juice with my own eyes. I also saw Olivia enter the room.
“She was in there for quite a while. Let’s wait a few minutes and go in. They definitely did it.”
Marina sighed in relief and patted Calista on the shoulder. “You did great.”
Calista then added, “I have another suggestion, Marina.”
“Speak.”
“If you want to ruin Olivia’s reputation, we need to be more forceful. The best outcome would be that she never recovers from it.”
Marina looked at her with approval and said, “Go on.”
“Everyone on the ship tonight is rich and powerful. It’s an open secret that everyone has skeletons in their closets.
“They will only talk about what happened with Olivia for a few days and forget all about it. It’s inconsequential. That bitch will be up and about again after that.”
“What do you have in mind?”
“I have a few close friends that are live–streamers. I can have them start up a live stream later and have their followers spread it around.
“Think about it. A scandal of a rich heir on a cruise ship. Wouldn’t that news blow up all over the country? We should go big on this.”
Marina also knew that social media was important nowadays. This incident would have enough impact to garner the attention of the public.
When Olivia was caught in the act, it would make Ethan hate her.
It would also destroy her reputation for life. She would forever be shunned by society.
“This is an excellent idea, Calista. I knew I was right about you.”
Marina was very excited. She couldn’t wait to see Olivia be mocked by everyone.
“Marina, I’ll contact my friends now. You should also do something.
“Round up the nosy women. It’ll be fun to see that bitch get humiliated publicly.”
The more she thought about it, the more excited Marina got.
She had never been insulted like that in her life. Now, she would return it to Olivia a thousandfold. She went beside Chloe, who was surrounded by people. Chloe saw her and waved at her. “Marina!”
Act Fast: Free Bonus Time is Running Out!
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 …
