Chapter 314
Ethan left the cabin after calming Olivia down. When the door was closed, her b*dy slowly loosened.
She spread her sweaty palms, letting out a helpless smile.
She wondered when the both of them had to put their guards up against each other.
They were neither lovers nor friends. It was not a relationship between a superior and a subordinate either.
She found it difficult to describe their relationship.
As long as Ethan wouldn’t cause Colin trouble, Olivia and Colin were considered safe for today.
Colin was all drenched, putting up with the wind and rain on the deck.
Ethan sized him up and met his eyes. Colin was standing straight, showing no signs of yielding.
He looked at Ethan confidently.
In fact, Ethan looked down upon people like Colin the most. Colin appeared innocent and harmless.
Even though he previously attempted to do that to Olivia on the ship, Ethan only saw him as a kid.
Ethan wasn’t bothered in the slightest.
Now, Colin’s presence bothered Ethan a little. Colin was bold and calculating.
Had Ethan not realized it in time, Colin would have successfully taken Olivia away.
When that happened, it would’ve been more difficult to find her.
Colin broke the silence. “Mr. Miller, what are you going to do to me?”
“I promised her that I wouldn’t hurt you. I’m a man of my word.” Ethan observed Colin’s eyes, which showed no fear.
It was either Colin wasn’t afraid of death, or he was certain that Ethan wouldn’t hurt him-everything was going according to his plan.
Ethan was irritated by the fact that Colin saw through him.
But he didn’t let it show. “I heard that you’re injured. You should apply medicine to it. Come inside. I’ll ask someone to bandage your wound.”
Colin was surprised. “You…”
Ethan coldly snorted. “You heard me right. I wish I could throw you into the sea and feed you to the sharks, but I don’t want to upset her.”
Brent led Colin the way. “This way.”
Colin was cooperative.
When he walked past Ethan, he stopped and said, “You scarred her for life, and yet, you pretend to be so in love with her.
“Should I say that you’re a loving man or a pretentious man?”
As soon as he finished, Kelvin gave him a push from behind. “Hurry up. Keep talking, and I’ll feed you to the sharks.”
Colin’s mock was a soft blow. But it put a heavy weight on Ethan’s chest.
Ethan clenched his fists tightly. He couldn’t deny the things he had done to Olivia.
He would use the rest of his life to make up for those two years, and she would be able to walk out of the darkness one day.
Time was the best pill to heal a wound.
Ethan didn’t return to the room. The scene of Olivia jumping into the sea kept replaying in his head.

He was aware that she no longer loved him. She resented him more.
He couldn’t bring himself to open the door and look at her eyes.
Resting against a wall at a sheltered corner in the hallway, he lit a cigarette.
He was getting addicted to smoking.
After he had smoked several cigarettes, Kelvin and Brent walked up to him. “Mr. Miller, we’ve sent that brat back to the port as you told.”
Ethan hummed in response. “What about his wound?”
Brent said, “It’s caused by sharp weapons. But there were only long-range attacks that day. Even if he was hurt, it should be a gunshot.”
Ethan caressed his thumb. “What did the doctor say?”
Brent replied, “It is as you’ve expected. Based on the wound’s angle, depth, and how the skin curled, it looks like it was done intentionally.
“It didn’t seem like he was hurt during a fight.”
Brent was dubious as he continued, “But why would he cut himself when he wasn’t hurt? Is he sick?”
Kelvin said aloud, “What the F***? I heard of women being bitchy, but men can be bitchy too?
“He freakin’ cut himself!”
Ethan’s eyes darkened as he lowered his voice. “This young man is not any ordinary person.
“It’s obvious that what happened on the ship wasn’t a coincidence. Everything was done intentionally!”
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 …
