Chapter 338
The woman placed a wet cloth over Olivia’s mouth to stop her from screaming, Olivia struggled hard, shaking her limbs and twisting her b*dy. Her movements caused the chains to make rattling sounds.
Olivia didn’t want to die. She had a lot of things she needed to do, but her struggles were futile. Even though her wrists and ankles were scraped raw, she couldn’t break free from the metal chains.
“Olivia, it’s your biggest mistake to have ever met him.”
Olivia shook her head with all her might. She could only make muffled sounds with her mouth.
“It won’t hurt. It’ll all be over soon.”
A tear rolled down from the corner of Olivia’s eye, but the woman ignored it.
Olivia could only watch as the syringe got closer and closer to her. It was almost touching her skin. Suddenly, the woman’s phone rang. She wanted to ignore it, but the ringtone annoyed her.
“What do you want? I’m busy,” the woman said furiously.
Her expression soon changed. The needle that was about to penetrate Olivia’s skin stopped in place.
“What? How did they find out? Retreat. Don’t confront them head-on.”
She hung up the phone and repositioned the needle while looking at Olivia coldly. Hatred for Olivia filled her eyes.
“So long.”
Olivia could feel the needle tip on her skin, which was about to pierce through. However, the door was kicked open abruptly, and the woman’s a*sistant appeared with a panicked look.
“Bad news! The base sustained heavy losses. I heard that Leo has gone out to settle the score with him. You know him. He’ll never let such a good chance sl*p by him.”
“He came in person?”
“That’s right. He’s the one leading the charge.”
“Damn it!”
The woman cursed. She no longer had the time to pay Olivia any attention. She turned and left in haste.
Olivia was so scared that she was sweating all over. A cold breeze blew on her, making her shiver.
She didn’t feel any relief that her life was saved. She was thinking about the name Jennifer brought up.
Leo.
Was that the person who could operate on her father?
Colin had told him that Leo had already set out to the island. Why was he still in Aldenvine?
But if he was in Aldenvine, why couldn’t Ethan find him?
Questions filled Olivia’s head as she gazed at the heavy rain outside. She thought that the woman’s eyes looked familiar.
Some things began to take root in her heart. A lot of details that she previously missed began to make sense.
She was getting close to the truth.
So, was Ethan the person who was attacking Toxic Hive’s base? Why would the woman have such a huge reaction if it wasn’t him? She even gave up on killing her at the very last moment.
Ethan led the offense personally?
Olivia thought about the call she had with him on the island. He told her to wait for a few days and that he would bring her

back himself. She realized he was planning to get rid of Toxic Hive to prepare for her return.
2/2
Then why would he reveal her whereabouts? Olivia then realized that Toxic Hive must have uncovered her location and made it known to Chris.
What about Ethan? He was in the middle of a dangerous situation. Was he okay?
A lightning bolt streaked across the sky, and a thunderous clap could be heard.
Olivia screamed at the top of her lungs, “Someone, help!”
The b*dyguards heard her and immediately rushed in.
“Let me go!”
“Please settle down, Ms. Fordham. We don’t want to hurt you. Save some energy and cooperate with us. It’ll be better for everyone involved.”
“I want to see Chris Carlton,” Olivia said.
Chris came in shortly. He saw Olivia with tears all over her face and asked, “What happened to you, Olivia? Did the procedure hurt? 1…”
He noticed the scrapes on Olvia’s wrists and ankles. Frowning, he said, “I told you to take good care of her. How did this happen to her?”
Olivia said with a sob, “Mr. Carlton, I agree to donate my bone marrow. Please help me.”
“Dear child, what’s wrong? Just tell me. I’ll do whatever I can to help.”
“Go save Ethan. He’s in danger.”
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 …
