Chapter 233
Olivia and Ethan’s relationship turned more complicated than before.
She didn’t know what was on his mind.
One moment, he would cling to her; the next, he would demand her to leave.
Still, she was aware that now was not the time to strain things with him.
She had a hunch that the mastermind intended to chase her out of Miller Group by catastrophizing the matter. After all, the photos couldn’t prove that there was something else going on between Olivia and Elijah.
It could only ruin her reputation and gain Marina’s attention at most.
If Olivia’s guess was right, Marina showed up at Miller Group because of those photos.
As long as Ethan wanted to avoid misunderstandings, it would take a word from Marina to drive Olivia out of here.
The mastermind must’ve noticed that Olivia was looking into the case.
Hence, he was using Marina to make Olivia stay away from Miller Group.
Now, Ethan was the only savior she could ask for help from.
She drew circles on his ch*st with a grim expression. “So what even if I accept your support? Things have gone this far. If Marina wants me outta here, will you still be on my side?”
He stared at her beautiful face. Not only had it lost those smiles that he often saw in the past, but her complexion was pale.
She was pale most of the time. She looked like she would be blown away by the wind at any moment.
He lowered his gaze, thinking about the day her nose bled for some reason.
“Is something wrong with your b*dy?” he suddenly asked.
From the day she mentioned catching a cold three months ago, he realized that she had never appeared healthy.
Olivia was surprised, wondering if he had caught on to something.
“Didn’t you see my medical report? What kind of problem could my b*dy be facing?”
He kneaded his forehead. “Really?”
“If I’m going to die because of an illness, will you regret what you did to me?” she questioned.
His heart sank to his stomach. Nevertheless, he took it as a joke because she was smiling.
“No. Even if time turns back, I’ll make the same choice,” he answered.
He noticed the glint in her eyes slowly losing its glow.
Licking his l*ps, he changed the topic. “I asked someone to purchase Babington Group. If you want to start anew, you can take over that company after a while.”
Babington Group invested a large sum of money to purchase some divisions of Fordham Group, which had announced bankruptcy.
In the recent two years, however, Babington Group lost its investment and wasn’t performing well.
It was not bad that Ethan spent so much money so that she could rebuild Fordham Group.
“How long will it take?” She feigned interest.
“The soonest would be a month,” Ethan replied.
That was enough time for Olivia to get to the bottom of the case.

“Olay,” she said.
Before he could say something else, she questioned, “Can I still week at Miller Group this month?”
He observed her expressions while she stared at him right in the eye
She dared not reveal the guilt in harm
Biting her l*p, she tugged at his deme. “I don’t want to stay at home every day. Let me kill some time here. I can learn the rule of the thumb at the workplace too. Erhan, I want you.
His eyes slightly widened at that when his arms around her waist tightened, she quickly finished her words ” to be my support”
As soon as she finished, Ethan kisand her
Olivia’s eyes widened at his fiesz k*ss, which left her no chance to dodge it
His touch around her waist was searing her skin,
At this moment, brent’s voice resounded outside. “Ms. Carlton, Mr. Miller is busy.”
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 …
