Chapter 237
Olivia barely survived a crisis, yet she was in the lion’s den again.
She saw the proposal from the corner of her eyes and took it. “I know you’re in a hurry, but calm yourself down, please. My colleagues are waiting for a reply from you.”
Ethan noticed the frantic in her eyes, knowing that she didn’t want to pay the price for her deed.
After heaving a long sigh, he released Olivia.
Jumping off the desk, she stood beside him.
She dared not breathe heavily as she tried to calm herself.
She pa*sed him the proposal. “Take a look.”
Ethan’s gaze swept across the document before landing on her face again. “Do you still want to stay in Miller Group for a
month?”
“Yes.” She nodded.
“I don’t pay useless people. You’ll be handling this project.”
She was stunned. “Are you trying to make me a public enemy?”
“You already are. Handling this project won’t make a difference.”
Olivia couldn’t see through his intention. She took the proposal. “The proposal-”
“As I’ve said, I’ll leave it to you. Don’t let me down,” Ethan responded.
She wasn’t that serious about her job and yet, he was forcing her to take on a project.
“Okay,” she said.
Yardley shifted his gaze away from Olivia. “And since you don’t want to pay the price, get out of the office.”
Olivia darted out of the office. She was able to escape from his punishment this time.
fierce expression.
As soon as she came out of the elevator, she saw Marina. Standing at the entrance, she was weari Marina watched the elevator descend from the top floor. She could easily guess where Olivia can… Without uttering a word, Marina slapped Olivia right in the face.
Olivia couldn’t react in time, so she couldn’t dodge it.
There were two departments on that floor, and there were a lot of staff around.
Marina wasn’t stupid to say anything here. She merely glared at Olivia. “Just you wait, bitch.”
There were many witnesses, so the incident spread within the company in no time.
By the time she returned to her department with the proposal, she realized that there was a new notification in the company’s group chat.
It was a message that warned everyone not to spread groundless rumors. Anyone who disobeyed would face a huge punishment.
It could be considered as a solution to keep Olivia’s controversy under control.
When she returned to her team, everyone shot her a gloating expression.
Sophia came up to her. “Olivia, what did Mr. Miller say?”
Olivia didn’t know how to relay Ethan’s message that he wanted her-a mere newcomer-to handle the project.
Did she even have the right to take on the project?
She couldn’t even answer the question now.
“He…”
“Was the proposal not approved? Which part of it is problematic? We can amend it,” said Sophia.
She was aware that the deal from Elijah would give Team C’s performance a temporary boost.
Team B might surpa*s them sooner or later.
Team B had several projects in discussion. Even if they were able to receive a deal from clients, it had nothing to do with Sophia because she was in Team C.
Thus, this proposal was the deciding factor of her fate.
She had no choice but to put her grudges aside and do her best for this proposal.
Someone else urged, “Yeah. Tell us the results. Say something.”
Olivia lifted her head. “Mr. Miller wants me to handle this project.”
“What?” Everyone thought that they heard it wrongly.
Olivia said honestly, “I said, I’ll be handling this project from today onward-from the proposal to its execution.”
She understood that Ethan wasn’t trying to train her in terms of social networking.
After all, he was going to let her take over a company in the future.
What he wanted to see wasn’t her talent in pleasing a superior and getting along with friends.
Within the next one month, he wanted to see Olivia’s potential.
Ethan was trying to cultivate her into a capable person, but he didn’t know that her ulterior motive was to find out the truth.
Now that she was forced to take on the project, there was no turning back.
She initially wanted to die, but she slowly found a ray of hope to live.
It wasn’t entirely impossible to revive Fordham Group. As long as she was still alive, she could make it happen someday.
A livid Marina walked out of Miller Group and dialed the special number. “How long will it take before we can start executing your plan?”
“What’s with the rush?” It was a muddled voice.
Marina said slowly while emphasizing every word, “I want Olivia Fordham, that bitch, to die.”
The other party chuckled. “Your wish will come true soon. I’m different from you. Not only do I want her dead, but I also want her to know what it feels like to live a hellish life.”
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 …
