Chapter 344
Brent sighed. “I don’t know what’s going through Ms. Miller’s head. But I wonder how Mrs. Miller will react after learning the truth.”
“Yeah, Mrs. Miller doesn’t know anything. She just thinks that Mr. Miller became distant because of Ms. Carlton. She tried so hard to get back with Mr. Miller for two years. She even tried to take her own life in exchange for Ms. Miller’s.
“If she learns the truth now, who will she blame for the misfortune that befell the Fordhams? There was the downfall of the Fordham family and her father’s traffic accident. She went through a lot as well.”
Learning the truth would be like cutting into an old wound. It would reveal the bloody and ugly past.
If he had known the truth would be so devastating, would Ethan have insisted on searching for it?
The Fordham family was just unlucky from the beginning. They suffered Ethan’s wrath for no reason. Olivia tried to repair their relationship for two years, but they still went their separate ways.
Finally, he chose to set aside his hatred. He wanted to rebuild trust and fix his relationship with her, but then, the truth surfaced.
“She’ll never find out,” Ethan said in a hoarse voice.
Brent and Kelvin looked at him simultaneously as he slowly raised his head.
Ethan’s typically neat hair was tousled. A few strands of hair were hanging down, covering a part of his forehead,
Though he appeared less intimidating, his eyes had a resolute gleam.
“As long as you both keep this secret, she’ll never find out.”
Kelvin swallowed and scratched his head. “Mr. Miller, I’ve never gone out with a woman before, but I know women hate lies and secrets. I think you should come clean with Mrs. Miller
on this.
“It’s too big of a matter to hide from her. You should come clean and ask for forgiveness.
“You can’t hide this from her forever. Once she finds out the truth and learns that you’ve been lying to her, you’ll completely lose the chance to get her back.”
“Be that as it may, this matter concerns her father, who’s still missing. If she learns the truth,

will she forgive Mr. Miller? If they sever all ties now, there wouldn’t even be a future to speak
of.”
Ethan was feeling conflicted. He knew he should come clean.
But he was afraid of losing Olivia if he told her the truth.
He didn’t know what to do.
Kelvin said earnestly, “Mr. Miller, you should find a chance to come clean with her.”
Olivia was left alone in the villa. She sighed in relief when she heard from Chris that Ethan was fine. She even cooperated with Chris and ate her fill while waiting for the test results.
The sound of the rain made her annoyed and kept her up. She lay on the soft and spacious bed while her mind was thinking of the woman in the doctor’s coat.
Although she covered herself up thoroughly, her eyes were visible. Those eyes looked a lot like Ethan’s eyes, especially when she was angry.
Olivia had brought up Leia before the woman, but she avoided the topic. There was something fishy about that.
Olivia began to make bold deductions. Maybe she was wrong from the beginning. Jodie and Leia were not the same person.
Leia went missing when she was a child. No one had seen her for more than a decade. She only needed to find a person who looked a little like her to be the sacrificial lamb.
The relationship between Jodie and Jeff could have been real, but it might have also been part of Leia’s plan.
She could’ve been the mastermind. She created a scenario where she was killed to intensify the conflict between Olivia and Ethan.
When she recalled the syringe last night, a chill went down Olivia’s spine, and her back was covered in sweat.
What a terrifying woman Leia was.
But Olivia didn’t understand why Leia harbored such animosity toward her. Leia was
kidnapped at a very young age, and they had never even met each other.
But she suddenly remembered Colin’s words, “Some people are just born evil”.
And then she thought about Leo. Many mysteries were haunting her, and she couldn’t figure them out.
Someone knocked on the door and came in after getting her approval. It was Chris.
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 …
