Chapter 234
Provoking Marina was never in Olivia’s plan. Olivia never expected Marina to be here this quickly either.
Marina had always resented Olivia to the bone. If she found Olivia in the CEO’s office, she would surely turn the whole company upside down.
Thinking about the objective behind her arrival at Miller Group, Olivia was determined not to let Marina ruin her plan. Impatiently, Olivia shoved Ethan’s chest.
He ignored her protest because he’d been desiring such a moment all along.
Like a lost tourist who finally found a source of water in the desert, he wouldn’t let her go.
Olivia was flustered because Marina was going to barge into the office at any time.
Marina was getting impatient. She was Ethan’s fiancée and yet Brent was treating her like an intruder.
She said, “What’s wrong? Do I need to make an appointment to see my fiancé? Make way.”
Olivia’s heart was on the verge of jumping out of her chest. She broke free from Ethan’s grasp with all her might.
She thought, “He’s crazy. He doesn’t want to let me go and yet he agreed to marry Marina. Just what is he up to? If he genuinely likes Marina, why won’t he release me?”
Anger was fuming in her eyes. She growled in an undertone, “Ethan Miller, are you crazy?”
Now that she was showing her true self, he smiled while looking at her.
Olivia walked in circles in the office, trying to find a place to hide.
She opened the bookshelf, but there was not enough space to fit her in.
Then, she laid on the floor to see if it was spacious enough to hide underneath the couch.
After checking every corner of his office, she realized that there was no place she could hide. “Don’t you have another room here?”
“Huh?” he responded.
“I’m your ex-wife. If Marina finds me here, you’ll be in trouble.” She huffed.
He was displeased at her remarks as it made their relationship appear wrong in some way.
Ethan held Olivia’s hand tighter. “You’re aware that you’re my ex-wife. It’s not like it’s wrong to be that.”
She glared at him. “Do you think that Marina is that generous to let me off the hook? I’m doing this for our sake.” Needless to say, she was doing it mainly for her sake.
She didn’t want to be chased out of Miller Group without solving the case.
Marina was going to enter the office soon.
Standing up, Ethan pushed the bookshelf to reveal a hidden room, where he usually rested.
Olivia darted into the room.
At the same time, Marina managed to bluff Brent and enter the office.
She scanned the place only to find Ethan alone, sitting before his desk while reading documents.
He slowly raised his head, looking at Marina in displeasure.
Impatiently, Ethan said, “What brings you here?”
When she was going to say something, she noticed a bloodstain on his l*ps and the scattered papers on the floor. “I’m going

to leave after checking on you.”
Without much change in her expression, Marina walked up to him.
Her gaze was fixated upon his l*ps as she coldly asked, “Ethan, what happened to your l*ps?”
“It was a bite.”
“Who bit you?” She paced up anxiously.
He replied calmly, “I bit myself. Who else would’ve done it?”
From his aloof attitude, it was as though he was treating a stranger and not his fiancée.
2/2
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 …
