Chapter 238
As for their relationship, Ethan didn’t care. He allowed the others to fill in the spaces.
This was the backing force he spoke of.
Olivia smiled bitterly. If she couldn’t remember what he had done to her in the past, she might have been a little touched. But those harmful acts were like continuous slashes on her b*dy. Even now, her injuries hadn’t healed.
She had already committed the hurt to memory. She wouldn’t make the same mistake again.
Olivia continued working. She had learned artistic skills when she was young, and Jeff had also hired a finance instructor to teach her the relevant knowledge.
After spending so much time with Ethan, she had picked up some things as well. A project worth tens of millions of dollars was just right for her to practice with.
In the CEO’s office, Ethan rolled up the end of his tie. Once again, he thought about Olivia asking for a k*ss as she clung to him.
He swallowed without realizing it. He hadn’t touched her in two years, but that brief interaction managed to get his desires burning again.
“Have you still not found out the reason she joined Miller Group?”
Brent was standing at the side respectfully. “Mrs. Miller hasn’t done anything out of the ordinary in her department. She did give some presents to some secretaries, though.”
“Presents?”
Brent showed Ethan a tie cl*p. “This is William’s.”
Ethan glanced at the logo. It was a well-known brand, and it was quite pricey.
“She’s quite generous.”
“Perhaps she thought that she’d be working as a secretary as well. It’s normal to send gifts to establish connections.”
Ethan’s gaze fell upon the decoration on the tie cl*p. “Take it apart,” he ordered.
Brent didn’t ask any questions and promptly disa*sembled it.
From under the tiny cover, a micro tracker fell onto the desk.

As Brent looked at the micro tracker on the desk, his face turned pale.
“H-How could this be? What is Mrs. Miller trying to do?”
Picking up the tracker, Ethan stuffed it back into the cl*p. “Give it back to William. Don’t tell anyone about this.”
“Understood, Mr. Miller.”
Ethan fiddled with his tie cl*p. Ever since Olivia requested to be his a*sistant, he had been suspecting her.
Judging by Olivia’s personality, she would try to get as far away from him as possible. It didn’t make sense for her to stay by his side.
Unless she was trying to get something from him.
Was it money?
She could donate 500 million dollars without batting an eye. She obviously didn’t lack money.
The only other reason would be Jeff.
He remembered her hesitant behavior the other day. “Did she figure something out?” he wondered.
Noticing that Ethan had stayed silent, Brent couldn’t see through Ethan’s thoughts either. He asked carefully, “So, about Mrs.
Miller…”
“Don’t do anything yet, in case she’s alerted. Let’s see what she’s trying to achieve here.”
Ethan tapped his fingers on the desk, thinking about Olivia’s previous two visits.
“Get someone to ch*ck my office later. If she can plant trackers on other people, she might do it to me too.”
“Understood, Mr. Miller.”
Lowering his eyes, Ethan looked at the space under the desk. He could still see her pitiful look as she begged him for help.
Ethan didn’t expect the investigation to be so fruitful.
Sure enough, there were a few micro cameras hidden in his office.
Brent’s expression changed. “Mr. Miller, this…”
“It’s not Olivia’s doing.”
She had only visited the office recently, but those micro cameras were hidden in secret corners of the office.
Olivia couldn’t have managed to do that.
Brent was furious. “Who could be so bold that they would plant these things in your office, Mr. Miller?”
“Check the model number.”
“This model can be on standby for up to a year. A third of the battery has been depleted.”
This meant that the cameras had been planted for at least seven months,
Ethan’s information had already been exposed seven months ago, or even earlier than that.
“This may be the work of your business rivals, Mr. Miller. Nothing has gone wrong with all our projects within the past year. If not for business advantages, what are the cameras for?”
“Go and find out who has entered my office in the past year.”
“I’m on it. We should be able to backtrack and figure out who it is.”
“It’s too late.” Ethan sneered. “If they could plant cameras in my office, they must’ve realized it by now. Still …”
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 …
