Chapter 300
Kelvin stood by Ethan’s side. The latter was sweating buckets, and his expression was menacing.
Last night, he was able to sleep with the help of a sleeping pill. He was sleep-talking the whole night.
“Mr. Miller, did you have a nightmare?” asked Kelvin.
“I have a bad feeling.” Ethan’s voice was hoarse because he had just woken up.
“It must be because too many things are happening recently-”
Ethan coldly interrupted Kelvin. “Implement a strict inspection at all of the entrances, I’m afraid Liv will leave Aldenvine.”
“Leave? But Mr. Fordham is still missing. He’s the only person Mrs. Miller cares for.
“Why would she leave at this moment?”
“There were four parties trying to take Jeff away that day. Do you think that her men could be one of them?”
“I don’t think that’s highly possible. She doesn’t have the connections to hire mercenaries.
“You weren’t there, so you didn’t see how cruel they killed people off.”
Frowning, Ethan rested against the headboard.
His expression was an indifferent one. “If she’s still in Aldenvine, why can’t we find her?”
“Mr. Miller, do you mean that she has a helper?” Kelvin asked.
“That’s possible.” Ethan lifted the blanket and got out of the bed. He headed to the bathroom.
He wondered where Olivia could possibly be. He had searched everywhere for her.
Cashless payment was prevalent nowadays. She didn’t have cash, but there were no payment records under her name.
How was she able to survive then?
Ethan was confident that she had a helper.
But who could it be?
Everly was humming. Even her boss-the exploiter-didn’t seem hateful to her today.
She thought, “It has been a while since I had a nice meal. What should I eat today?”
She heard that there was a newly opened barbeque restaurant a few blocks away.
The thought of juicy grilled meat made her salivate. She licked her l*ps.
When she took a turn at a corner, she saw Ethan smolding.
She didn’t expect to see him here.
She retreated while praying that he didn’t see her. After taking a few steps backward, she realized that she couldn’t move.
He was grabbing Everly’s scarf.
Ethan looked right into her eyes. “Let’s have a talk.”
She wished she could refuse his suggestion by slapping his hand away. But she didn’t have the nerves to anger him.
Something felt strange to her.
Before this, whenever they met each other, he always appeared to be the arrogant hotshot businessman.
Now, he seemed like a lonely man whose wife had run away.

Chapter 300
He was wrapped up in loneliness and desolation.
A few minutes later, they sat opposite each other like the last time they met.
Everly’s legs were trembling. Meanwhile, Ethan handed her the menu generously, “It’s on me. Order whatever you want.”
She was excited when it came to food. After all, her motto was “no food, no life”.
Besides, it was a rare chance for Ethan to buy her a meal!
She gladly pointed at the menu. “This and this.”
He said, “Save the courtesy. You don’t have to hold yourself in.”
As soon as he finished, he heard her adding, “I want everything besides those two.”
He was rendered speechless.
Everly was all smiles. “Sorry, Mr. Miller. Courtesy was never in my dictionary.”
Ethan spread his hands as he wasn’t bothered by it. He said to the waiter, “That’s it.”
She thought, “It’s a waste that Olivia didn’t rip him off before divorcing him. He’s basically swimming in cash!
“If I were her, I would’ve ripped him off and sold all of his properties!”
She grinned. “Mr. Miller, I don’t think you’re here to buy me a meal out of kindness.”
“Have you met Liv?” he asked coldly.
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 …
