Chapter 183
The idea flashed through her mind momentarily. But Ethan’s scornful face quickly filled her thoughts.
She knew that Ethan could take her words as she was trying to get her father off the hook.
He had already mocked her countless times for her schemes.
Moreover, if she told him what she knew before uncovering the truth, it might alert the mastermind and force him to switch things up.
So, she suppressed her urge to tell Ethan what she knew.
In reality, the existence of a mastermind wouldn’t have affected their relationship.
It was the fact that Ethan had an affair.
Olivia was more composed than she used to be. She responded with a muffled sound.
Olivia’s mind was clearer than it ever was after she got the reply she wanted. She clutched Ethan’s clothes tightly.
Uncovering the truth had become her only reason to be alive.
“Thank you for calling the ambulance.”
“There is no need to look at something that happened so long ago. Let’s go to bed.”
Ethan thought that Olivia was just frightened. He held her and went to sleep.
The strange thing was that Olivia didn’t mention Marina to him. It was as if they were back to how they were.
But that was just a ruse. Olivia opened her eyes after Ethan fell asleep and moved away from him.
She almost moved to the edge of the bed. She didn’t want to have any physical contact with him.
Ethan was true to his word. The next morning, Olivia heard a familiar voice early in the morning.
“Wow, what a beautiful house. Jerry, can you make a painting of it?”
The timid teenager beside him tugged at him and said, “You should tone it down a little when you’re on someone else’s turf. Don’t forget how scary that man could be.”
Olivia heard their voices while she was going down the stairs. She immediately ran down the stairs. She saw the bright faces of
the teenagers.
“Ms. Olivia!”
Olivia walked down the remaining steps and approached the teenagers. She was pleasantly surprised. “How did you guys get here?”
“A bunch of men came to the island yesterday. Some were measuring stuff, and some were roaming around.
“Some people even gave us some supplies! We were brought here early in the morning today. Wasn’t it you who sent those people, Ms. Olivia?”
Olivia didn’t expect Ethan to move so quickly. She quickly nodded.
Ethan’s voice came from around the corner, “Are you happy now?”
The two teenagers instinctively shielded Olivia behind their backs. They didn’t expect to meet Ethan here.
“Don’t be afraid, he won’t hurt me.”
Olivia had already noticed the hint of anger in Ethan’s eyes. She went up to him and held his arm.
“Why did you bring them here?” She asked.
“Aren’t you the one who cares so much about them?”

Ethan pointed at Jerry and said, “I’ve handled their enrollment procedures. This one has talent in painting. So he is going to study at a professional art college. As for that troublemaker, the police academy suits him.”
Olivia didn’t know what price Ethan had to pay to get them into the institutions. But she was happy that he thought about that.
“Thank you,” Olivia said whole–heartedly.
Ethan adjusted his cufflinks and said, “I’ve asked the HR department to handle your job application. Come to work on time, three days from now.”
Ethan left without having breakfast. It was as if he was deliberately giving them some time together.
Olivia realized that he seemed to have changed. He felt a little like his former self.
As soon as he left, Tom and Jerry became talkative. They asked her about everything.
They handed her a piece of paper when no one was around. It had a phone number written on it.
Olivia called the number. A familiar voice came from the phone, “It’s me.”
“Are you doing okay?”
“Yeah.” Jack’s voice was still emotionless.
Olivia told him about what happened on the island. He wasn’t too surprised.
“I knew you would keep your promise.”
Olivia bit her l*p and told him her concerns. “Jack, can you help me with something? You’re the only one I trust right now.”
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 …
