Chapter 315
Brent said, “On the cruise back then, Ms. Carlton made use of someone else to plot against Mrs. Miller.
“She happened to get a hold of him and made him do the dirty work.
“If he realized early on that something was amiss, but he still drank the drugged juice… How cunning can this man be?
“He wasn’t just cunning, either. That day, if you hadn’t arrived in time, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller would’ve suffered.
“When that happened, he could blame it all on the drug. He could easily find an excuse and escape. This man is terrifying.
“It didn’t matter if he had truly saved Mr. Fordham. But he got hurt and claimed that it was because he was trying to save Mr.
Fordham.
“He did it so that Mrs. Miller would feel pity and remorse toward him.
“Even now, Mrs. Miller treats him like a child, but he seems to have weird intentions with her.”
Ethan frowned deeply, his dark eyes turning extremely cold. “What about the things I told you to do?”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Miller. Before he left, I planted a tracker and listening device in his luggage.”
“After he gets ashore, get someone to keep an eye on him. Do not alert him.”
Ethan had a feeling that the man came prepared. Now that he had stopped the man’s operations, the man must have a backup plan.
“Should I inform Mrs. Miller about this?”
“No.”
Kelvin was a little upset about it. “Why not? If this keeps up, Mrs. Miller would think that he’s a good person.
“But you’ll become the person who keeps hurting her, Mr. Miller.”
Brent rapped his head. “You fool, Mrs. Miller already thinks highly of him.
“We don’t have concrete evidence, so do you think that Mrs. Miller would believe you?
“To counter people like him, you have to be even more devious than them.”
Ethan spoke up. “He came for Liv, so he wouldn’t stop at just two incidents. Keep an eye on him. There may be more surprises.
”
Putting out the last cigarette, Ethan turned and left.
Kevin wanted to say something but decided against it.
Brent patted him on the shoulder, saying, “Keep your mouth sealed. Don’t reveal anything to Mrs. Miller.
“There’s more to that man than meets the eye, but Mr. Miller is no common person, either.”
Kevin replied, “I know, Brent. Mr. Miller is letting that man go on purpose so that he can capture the man later. He’s waiting now so that he can reap greater rewards later.”
“Good, looks like you know what’s going on. Keep a close eye on him. Don’t give the Toxic Hive any more chances to plant. spies.”
Brent had been working with Ethan for many years. But he had never encountered such a tricky opponent before.
Olivia’s kidnapping had started it all. If not, those people would’ve been in hiding for even longer.
But Brent wasn’t too worried about this. The incident was already handed over to the surveillance team. It would be a matter of time before the truth was discovered.
One day, the truth would come to light.
Chapter 315
Lying on the bed, Olivia didn’t feel sleepy at all. Her mind was filled with everything that had happened recently. She didn’t know about the progress of Ethan’s investigation, either..
That accursed Ethan had his l*ps sealed. He didn’t even reveal a tiny bit of information.
“It’s getting late. You should go to sleep.” Ethan appeared at the entrance.
“I can’t sleep.”
Closing the door, Ethan spoke up. “I’ve already asked someone to dress his wounds and escort him away.
“If you don’t believe me, you can always call him to ask about his whereabouts.”
With that, Ethan handed her a new phone. “I had the card replicated. It’s the same number you used to have.”
Olivia was stunned. “Weren’t you… planning to lock me up?”
“To be honest, I wanted to.”
Ethan didn’t even hesitate before admitting it. “Even in my dreams, I want to lock you up.
You won’t be able to leave, and you won’t have to experience any more dangers.”
At that, he smiled helplessly. “But I don’t want to turn your life into a tightrope performance. Just a slight mistake could’ve ended your life terribly.
“Liv, I want to make it up to you. Can you give me another chance?”
After hurting her so much, he was saying that he wanted to make it up to her.
Even if he was being completely serious about it, she only had the urge to laugh.
Olivia knew that Ethan was emotionally unstable, just like her. She didn’t want to provoke him.
With her back facing him, she lay down. She refused to answer his question. “I’m getting sleepy.”
Ethan didn’t force her to answer, either. He turned off the lights in the room. Then, his low voice rang out above Olivia’s head.
“Liv, we have all the time in the world. We have a long way ahead of us.
“You can take your time to think about it. Or, you don’t even have to reply. Just watch me.”
Olivia thought, “A long way ahead,’ he said.”
That was the funniest joke she had ever heard in her life.
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 …
