Chapter 354
Just as Ethan wanted to savor the moment, Madam Burgess loud voice came from downstairs. “Mr. Miller, is Mrs. Miller awake yet?”
Her powerful voice penetrated the walls and went straight into Olivia’s ears. Olivia instantly snapped back to reality with a chilling realization. She wasn’t dreaming!
She stopped moving. She could only make out Ethan’s silhouette in the darkness and couldn’t see his expression. She was utterly in shock. She felt like she was about to explode in embarra*sment when she saw that her pajamas were undone,
She quickly dove onto the bed and covered herself with her blanket.
Ethan was enveloped in immense disappointment. With a bitter smile, he quickly suppressed his emotions.
“The food’s ready. Come downstairs and have some,” Ethan said in a deep voice.
He walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
Olivia, who was hiding under the blanket, was blushing. She couldn’t believe the things she just did. She was so close to stripping Ethan and having her way with him. She felt mortified.
She slowly got out of the bed and went to wash her face. The cool tap water helped cool down her burning cheeks.
She saw the mark that Ethan left on her neck. They covered up the marks he left in the afternoon. Olivia thought that worked in her favor.
She wanted their relationship to be over and didn’t want further complications. She had already composed herself when she went downstairs. Ethan helped her into her seat.
Madam Burgess wanted to give them some time to spend alone, so she left right after cooking. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
“What happened just now …” Olivia spoke up first. “I was injected with some drugs last night. I wasn’t in my right mind just now. I thought I was dreaming.”
“What did you dream about?”
“I dreamed about the time we were newly married,” Olivia told him honestly.
“It’s just a dream at the end of the day. It has been almost three years since that time.’
Ethan felt guilty when he heard what she said.
Olivia took a few bites of the food and said slowly, “The reason I’m here is to talk to you about

something important.”
“Tell me.”
“I suspect that your sister is still alive.”

Ethan’s hands that were cutting up the steak froze. He looked at Olivia’s face and responded instinctively, “Impossible. I saw her b*dy with my own eyes.”
Olivia knew Ethan would have a huge reaction. She tried her best to speak calmly. “I know that, but the b*dy had been in the sea for so long when you picked it up. It had also been partially eaten by fish. You weren’t able to see what the b*dy used to look like, right?”
“I did a DNA test.”
‘Yes, that’s what I’m trying to get to. Leia joined this Toxic Hive organization that you spoke of. It’s a very influential organization. They bought out the person who did the test for you. Leia’s DNA was used in the test. That’s why the DNA test results showed that you were siblings.
“We all thought the b*dy was Leia’s, but she had been in the wind since then. She set us up repeatedly behind the scenes.”
“How can you be so sure that she’s in Toxic Hive? Even I haven’t seen her in more than ten years.”
Olivia explained, “I saw her last night. I thought you were the one who told Chris where I was. I didn’t expect her to be the one who leaked my location. She only wore a face mask this time, and I saw her eyes. They looked exactly like your sister’s eyes when she was young.”
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 …
