Chapter 262
They weren’t talking in person. But Olivia felt like the atmosphere between them was extremely awkward.
Ethan’s voice was filled with dissatisfaction. “Is that all you wanted to say?”
She had already spoken, so it was too late to take back her words. Calming herself, Olivia said, “Yes. We’re not strangers, after all. I feel like I should congratulate you on a day like this.”
Ethan gritted his teeth. “Thanks.”
With that, he hung up. Listening to the beeps coming from her phone, Olivia sighed helplessly.
He was the one who was getting engaged, but he behaved as if she was forcing him to be engaged. He sounded so reluctant.
She wouldn’t tell Ethan about this, or it would ruin his engagement ceremony. Not just Marina, but even Chloe would annoy her to no end.
Just then, Colin happened to call her. Olivia felt like she had seen the light.
“Colin.”
“Good morning, Olivia.”
“Can you come over and pick me up?” Olivia carefully asked for help.
“Of course. I’m already on my way. I’ll be at the entrance of your residential area in a minute.”
“I’ll be right there.”
Checking the surveillance camera, Olivia made sure that there was no danger outside. Then, she grabbed her stuff and dashed out, getting into the elevator right away.
There were usually people getting in and out of the elevator. It only took a few minutes, so the mastermind wouldn’t be that
bold.
Watching the number on the elevator decrease, Olivia grew even uneasier.
“Eight, seven, six…”
Olivia gripped her phone tightly. Colin sent her a message, telling her that he was already at the er
He even sent her an emoji. Then, he told her to take her time gathering her things, as it was still e..
The cute emoji on the screen made Olivia relax a little. A faint smile appeared on her l*ps.
When she looked up, she realized that the elevator didn’t stop on the first floor. But she knew that she had already pressed the button for the first floor. Yet the elevator was still descending.
An uneasy feeling invaded her heart. “Did someone do something to the elevator?” she thought.
She sent Colin a voice message right away. “Colin, I’m in the elevator. Something went wrong with it. I think someone messed
with it.”
She had just finished speaking when the elevator doors opened.
When Olivia saw the person standing at the door, her expression shifted. She tried to close the doors in a frenzy.
Colin listened to the voice message from Olivia. In the closed space, the woman’s voice was trembling. She was in extreme fear.
Turning off the engine, he got out of the car. Another voice message was sent to his phone.
It was a man’s voice.
“Ms. Fordham, I told you that you won’t be able to escape.”
Right after that, Colin heard Olivia’s cries for help. “Help! Call the police!”

2/2
When Colin dialed Olivia’s number, the call didn’t go through.
“Olivia!”
When Colin arrived at the scene, the elevator was empty. There was no one around.
Crouching down, he found shattered pieces of a phone.
He could see that the tempered gla*s on Olivia’s phone was broken.
Olivia was already taken away from the basement parking lot!
“Damn it!”
After hanging up on Olivia, Ethan angrily tossed his phone to the side. “She’s getting better at provoking me,” he thought.
“Mr. Miller, it’s time. The helicopter is on stand-by. We’re going to the island soon,” Brent urged.
Looking at the azure sky, Ethan took a deep breath. Brent didn’t know what he was thinking about.
Only Ethan knew that the uneasiness had been gnawing at him for days. When he woke up this morning, it grew even stronger.
He kept feeling like something was about to happen.
But he had just heard Olivia’s voice over the phone, and she sounded fine. “What’s the worst that can happen?” he thought. “Let’s go.” He boarded the helicopter.
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 …
