Chapter 129
Olivia smiled lightly and said, “I thought he was only a tool for you to exact revenge on me.”
“Why would you think that?” Ethan’s brows furrowed tightly. He felt like something was off about Olivia tonight. He wanted to say something. But due to the incident with Marina, he had to go and handle the mess that she made.
Awaiting him was not only a tearful Marina but also the unbearable Carltons.
He handed Olivia the keycard to the guest room and said, “Go to the room and get changed.”
No one would know she was the one with him in the room if she changed. And as for the rumors online, Ethan could easily
handle that.
He didn’t know what Olivia was planning.
The fireworks show was brought forward by two hours to 8:00 pm to turn people’s attention away from the embarra*sing incident.
The fireworks lit up the dark sky. It also attracted a lot of people to look at it.
Many appeared on the snow–crusted deck to look at the fireworks. The deck quickly became very lively.
The flashy fireworks allowed the people to temporarily forget about the embarra*sing incident. They were all focused on the beautiful fireworks at the moment.
Their wealth and power did not stop them from enjoying the fleeting beauty of the fireworks.
Calista was crying profusely. Calvin stood beside her and comforted her gently. “You should’ve known better. You’re an adult.”
Calista was extremely regretful of her actions.
Getting slapped by Marina was the least of her worries. Her biggest worry right now was Olivia’s position.
“How would I know that her man was Mr. Miller? If he knew that I planned everything, not only would I not get the hospital’s shares, but the Carlton family would be done for, too!”
“That’s why I said you should’ve known better.”
“Calvin!” Calista did not think too much about it. She still thought that Olivia was Ethan’s mistress.
Even if she was just a mistress, she was not just any mistress–she was Ethan’s mistress.
Everyone knew that Ethan was protective of what was his.
Calista stomped her leg impatiently. Her face was full of worry.
What was she supposed to do now? She would no longer be welcomed in this neighborhood.
At that moment, she saw Olivia walking down the corridor.
She was afraid of Olivia, but she also hated her
She didn’t let up with the insults, “Don’t get cocky because you became Mr. Miller’s mistress. He is just toying with you.
“You’ve offended the Caritons You’ll be in for it now.”
She still didn’t realise that Olivia was Ethat’s ex–wife
Calvin was almost impressed at how dumb she was but it was not bis secret to tell
He stood in front of her and said. “Olivie, don’t sulud her. She doesn’t think before she speaks.
Olivia nodded at Calvin They had a tail understanding of the sets they kept
She turned her gaze to Calista and said the soft and stationless voice, “So what if I couldn’t choose how to live? I can still choose how I want to die
Calista was stunned by Olivia’s icy gaze and was at a loss for words.
She whispered, “Calvin, don’t you think she’s acting weird? What did she mean by that?”
“I don’t know. I just don’t have a good feeling about this.”
The fireworks show went on. It lit up the night sky until it was as bright as day.
Connor never liked loud places. He was throwing a bit of a tantrum. Marina had someone bring him back to his room.
It was time for him to sleep.
Mina took him in her arms and prepared to bring him back to his room. But Connor pointed at a cake nearby and was fussing
over it.
“Master Connor, you’re not allowed to have desserts at night. You’ll get cavities.”
Connor did not let up. He thought that the cake looked exactly like the ones his mother used to make.
He already didn’t get to his mother. Why couldn’t he get some of the cake that his mother made?
Mina had no choice but to relent. She placed him on the floor and said, “One moment, Master Connor. I’ll get some for you.”
Just as she left, Connor saw Olivia walking up the corridor. His eyes brightened up.
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 …
