Chapter 281
Olivia exited the water, holding back her fear and trying not to vomit.
She looked at the b*dy cautiously, hoping to find something that could identify the b*dy.
The clothes on the b*dy were expensive. It was the high-end product of some luxury brand.
The diamond earrings she had on glittered dimly under the light. There was also a sapphire ring on her finger.
It looked like it would belong to some wealthy person’s collection.
Evidently, her murderer wasn’t after money, or else her jewelry would’ve been gone. There also weren’t any signs of S**ual abuse on her clothes.
There was a gunshot wound on her chest. The cause of her death was likely the shot to her chest.
Olivia could tell that the b*dy came from money. But she hadn’t heard about any missing heiresses recently.
She sighed helplessly. She decided to inform the authorities after she got out of there.
She wanted the b*dy to find her way back to her family. Olivia felt pity for the b*dy.
Olivia suddenly heard the sound of a helicopter over her. The person in the panda suit had retreated.
Ethan had arrived. Olivia chose to remain hidden. She knew she would be vulnerable to the person’s schemes if out in the open.
Olivia barely escaped death this time. She was determined to uncover the person’s identity and was finally free of Ethan’s
control.
Olivia hid among the debris and watched as Ethan approached Marina, who was left on the shore.
She could still see a huge blood stain on Ethan’s chest. But she couldn’t see his expression because he was too far away.
Brent had a doctor examine Marina. “Ms. Carlton is just unconscious. She doesn’t have any serious injuries.”
Ethan ignored Brent’s words. His eyes were fixed on the rope dangling in midair that had been severed.
The image of Olivia falling into the ocean was still haunting him.
He said in a hoarse voice, “Find her! I want to see her… dead or alive.”
Brent didn’t know how to comfort Ethan. “Mr. Miller, fortune will surely favor Mrs. Miller. Don’t be too pessimistic.”
Even Brent didn’t believe his own words. He knew that even if Olivia survived the fall, the person wouldn’t let her live.
In the time it took Ethan to fly here, Olivia was probably already…
However, he would never say these things to Ethan.
Ethan didn’t say a thing. He exuded an air of gloom.
It was as if his heart had stopped beating the moment Olivia fell into the ocean.
Ethan felt like there was a hole in his chest. He felt empty.
He was still alive, but he couldn’t feel anything. All he had on his mind was Olivia.
His hands were shaking uncontrollably.
It was not the first time Ethan experienced the death of someone he was close to. He was devastated when Kurt died.
But the death of Olivia made his existence nothing but pain.
Even the breeze that blew on him felt like knives piercing his skin. He even started to see illusions. He thought he saw Olivia standing in the ocean, waving to him.
“Come to me, Ethan!” He heard her say.
Chapter 281
“Don’t be afraid, Liv. I’m coming.”
Ethan was about to walk into the ocean, but Kelvin pulled him back.
“You have to pull yourself together, Mr. Miller!”
Ethan frowned and said with bewilderment, “Where’s Liv? Where did she go?”
“Mr. Miller, we haven’t found Mrs. Miller yet.”
Ethan patted himself on the ch*st and said, “Liv is dead. She left me behind. – “She’s such a timid person. She must be so afraid. I have to go with her…”
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 …
