Chapter 313
Olivia frowned deeply at the sudden k*ss. Ethan’s touch was repulsive to her.
Before she pushed him away, he had withdrawn himself from her.
It was a light touch without much excessive sense of possession.
“It is kinda spicy.” He stroked her head as gently as always.
It was fortunate that Olivia’s plan worked.
She stared at him. “What are you going to do with Colin?”
After her suicide attempt, he didn’t dare to say anything cruel.
He replied, “I’m going to let him go. Don’t worry. I won’t hurt him.”
Now that he had learned his lesson, Olivia decided to let him off the hook.
She held his hand and softened her voice, “I promised you that I wouldn’t leave Aldenvine, but I didn’t expect myself to be kidnapped.
“Do you know how scared I was when I was kidnapped?”
Ethan wrapped his arms around her waist. His low voice resounded above her. “I felt the same.”
“She was seriously driving me to the edge. If I had not noticed something was off and hid a knife, I could’ve died in her hands.
She clenched his shirt. “I believe that you’ve noticed a few problems based on my tip-off.
“Let’s put the question of whether my father had killed Leia aside. It’s obvious that there’s a third party involved in this
matter.
“She doesn’t want to hurt you but wants me dead. She’s the mastermind for whatever that had happened for the past two
years.”
Ethan caressed her head. It pained him to see her suffer. “Yeah, I know.
“That person has planted a few spies around me. Her men retreated after you fell into the sea.”
He didn’t tell her about his investigation process. Instead, he comforted her patiently, “Liv, I will get to the bottom of it. Your father was taken away a few days ago. Was that Colin’s doing?”
Olivia knew that Jeff was safe with Colin. Colin was the only person that wouldn’t hurt her.
She couldn’t trust Ethan before the truth came to light..
She shook her head. “Colin wanted to save my father for me, but I heard that the scene was a mess that day. There were a lot of people. We didn’t know who took my father away. Someone wounded Colin’s back, too.”
“You mean he was at the scene and was hurt in the back?”
“Yes.”
Noticing the doubt in his eyes, she added, “I saw his injury with my own eyes. I owe him.”
Ethan said, “Got it. I won’t hurt Colin. As for your father, I will find out where he is. He should be safe for now.”
After all, Jeff was able to sustain with the help of machine and IV drips.
Killing him off wouldn’t have needed so much sacrifice. It could’ve been done with a lift of a finger.
He was a trump card. No matter which party it was, it wasn’t the time to use him yet.
She nodded, and Ethan caressed her cheek.

He softened his voice. “Liv, believe me or not, whatever that has happened today wasn’t what I wished for. I will never hurt you again.”
Olivia asked seriously, “If my father wasn’t Leia’s murderer, what would you do?”
His expression changed at that question. His tone became cold.
“Liv, even if there’s a third party involved in this matter, your father’s DNA matches with the baby in Leia’s belly.
“The result of the DNA test is in my safe. If you don’t believe it, you can read it yourself after we return home.”
Knowing what she was going to say next, he said, “I didn’t bury the premature baby. I…”
Olivia felt her skin crawling. “What did you do with it?”
“It was Leia’s baby, so I asked someone to make it into a specimen.”
Loathe grew in her as she deemed him perverted.
He ignored her expression. “Don’t worry. No matter what the truth is, I will make sure to give you an answer.”
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 …
