Chapter 327
Marina wanted to rant very badly, but she was forced to hold her tongue. She had no idea since when Ethan refused to even
utter a word to her.
“Ethan, didn’t you see my face?”
It was only then that Ethan looked up. He saw her red cheeks sporting clear handprints.
“Who hit you?”
“My dad.”
“Then I can’t do anything about it.” Upon returning to his seat, Ethan fl*pped open a folder.
He couldn’t possibly ask Chris to take responsibility, after all.
His connections to the Carltons aside, Ethan respected Chris as a person.
Seeing his nonchalance, Marina hastily ran toward him. “If Olivia got hurt, would you be this cold to her too?”
Ethan wanted to say that Marina wasn’t worthy enough to be compared to Qlivia. But when he thought about the deceased Kurt, he chose not to say it.
He simply said, “I’ll ask Kelvin to send you to the hospital.”
“I am your fiancée!”
Marina was upset with Ethan’s half-hearted attitude. In the past, he was never intimate with her, but at least he was gentlemanly and respected her.
But now, he didn’t even respect her at all. He freely expressed his disgust toward her.
“You didn’t come to the engagement ceremony,” Ethan reminded her.
“What, are you running away from your responsibilities? Don’t forget, you promise Kurt that you will protect us for life! If it weren’t for Kurt, you would’ve died by now.”
Marina had said the same thing countless times. She wanted the Milia Stellae, but Ethan said she couldn’t have it. So, she brought up Kurt’s death to threaten him.
She wanted Collington Cove as well. It was a surprise prepared for Olivia. But in the end, Marina used the Ethan to give up on that plan.
Is to force
Ethan had spent years building that hospital. The tendering, filing, land acquisition, and building stages took a lot of effort. He wanted to give it to Olivia as a present after she had given birth.
He knew that Olivia was a kind person. He even established a charity fund for the people who couldn’t afford to pay their
medical bills.
He could already imagine how happy Olivia would be when she knew about it.
But when Marina heard of this, she kept pestering him for shares of the hospital. She even changed the name of the hospital.
For some time, because of what happened to Leia, he had hatred toward Olivia as well. Still, his love for her never changed.
His remorse toward Kurt had turned into Marina’s pa*s to get everything she wanted. Of course, Ethan kept putting up with her ridiculous requests.
In the end, his actions only served to hurt Olivia deeply.
Ethan slapped the folder shut, which startled Marina.
“W-Why are you looking at me like that? What I said isn’t wrong! He died because he wanted to protect you-”
“Enough!”

A cold air emanated from Ethan, his voice becoming terrifyingly low. He rose to his feet before slamming his hands onto the desk, his figure towering over Marina’s by a head.
“Do you treat Kurt’s death as your pa*s to get everything you want?”
The oppressive feeling coming from Ethan loomed over Marina. Startled by his expression, Marina trembled. “I … I…”
“Yes, he died to save me, and I am very grateful to him. I promised him that I would take good care of you guys.
“You said that you wanted to get married to me, and I agreed. I gave you everything you wanted.
“There’s the birthday banquet for Olivia and the recent engagement ceremony. When have I complained about you?
“Marina, I’ve spent a lot of money and effort on you, but were you ever sad about Kurt’s death?”
Marina was upset when she heard that. “I gave birth to his child! Why wouldn’t I be saddened by his death?”
Ethan looked down at her with a judging gaze. She lowered her head guiltily.
But then, Ethan revealed a long-hidden secret.
“No one knows where your child came from, but I do.”
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 …
