Chapter 285
Brent was relieved to see some spark in Ethan’s eyes.
He quickly continued, “That’s true. Mrs. Miller is a pacifist. She wouldn’t ask you to avenge her otherwise.”
Ethan frowned at the reminder. He recalled Olivia trying to tell him something but never actually speaking up.
“What she wanted me to investigate wasn’t only The Toxic Hive. She also wanted me to look into the incident with Jeff and my sister.”
Ethan remembered that Olivia had visited the Miller residence before the kidnapping. She probably knew something was
wrong.
It was like the spy cameras planting in Ethan’s office. It was clear someone had been plotting against him for some time.
But this concerned his taboo. It was something he didn’t allow anyone to bring up, not even Olivia.
That was why Olivia had to risk everything and investigate by herself to find the truth.
“Mr. Miller, do we need to look into Ms. Leia’s incident?” Brent asked cautiously.
Ethan looked up into the sky and stared at the dimly lit stars among the clouds. He realized the truth was always there, but someone had intentionally hidden it.
“Investigate! Look into it carefully. Leave no stone unturned.”
Ethan had made up his mind. If something was wrong with his sister’s death, he wouldn’t let the people behind it roam free.
He decided to revisit his trauma.
“This time, we’ll change things up a little.”
“What kind of change?” Kelvin was shocked.
“All the evidence that we found last time felt like they were planted by someone who wanted us to find them. We were being led on.
“This time, we will start our investigation from the Fordhams’ angle.”
Brent stared at Ethan’s expression and nodded. “Understood.”
“Where would she be if she was alive?” Ethan wondered.
“We’re not the only ones looking for her. The Toxic Hive must be looking, too. She must be hiding in a place no one expects her to be.”
But where would this place be?
Kelvin recalled something and said softly, “Mr. Miller, Mrs. Carlton was diagnosed with leukemia two days ago.
“It isn’t looking good. Do you want to visit her?”
“Leukemia? It’s karma coming back to bite her,” Ethan said with a smirk.
He thought Chloe wasn’t fit to be a mother.
Brent said awkwardly, “About that, Mr. Miller. You should still visit her anyway. The Carltons are still looking for you to give them an explanation.”
Ethan had been focused on looking for Olivia the past few days.
Otto was throwing a fit. It was time for Ethan to visit the Carltons.
“There’s no rush. Dress my wound with fresh bandages first.”
Brent was overjoyed. Ethan had finally agreed to change the bandages.
Chapter 285
2/2
The wound on his ch*st was bandaged while he was unconscious. Ethan hadn’t allowed anyone to get close to him for the past few days. The condition of his wound has been left unchecked.
It was a good thing that Ethan was starting to cooperate with the treatment of his wound.
The wound hadn’t been soaked in water. It didn’t worsen.
Ethan had always been physically fit. The flesh was already growing back on his injury.
Ethan looked at the wound and smiled icily.
Brent was standing behind him and happened to see his expression. It sent chills down Brent’s spine.
Ethan looked like a demon that clawed his way up from hell.
“Brent, move Jeff to another nursing home.”
Brent calmed himself down and said, “Yes, Mr. Miller.”
Not only did Ethan cooperate with the treatment of his wound, but he also ate.
Before he could finish eating, he received the news. “Mr Miller, bad news! Mr. Fordham has been taken!”
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 …
