Chapter 358
There were signs before that Olivia had failed to pick up on. Like the time Colin asked to visit Jeff. He looked at all of the data and even performed a ch*ck on him.
Colin looked serious back then. It was an expression she had never seen on him before.
Ethan saw Olivia’s upset expression and hugged her. “Liv, it’s not like that. I want to protect you. I don’t want to see you get hurt ever again.”
Raising her teary eyes to look at him, she said, “But… you’re the one who hurt me the most. Don’t you think your words are absurd?
“Colin might have lied to me, but you’re no saint either. So don’t be calling the kettle black now. You have no right to say you’ll keep me from getting hurt.
Olivia escaped his embrace and said, “Thanks for telling me everything.”
“Stop throwing a fit with me, Liv. Even though we took down Toxic Hive’s base, all the important people in the organization took off. It’s dangerous for you out there.”
Olivia looked him in the eye seriously. Wiping her tears, she asked, “Ethan, if your sister isn’t dead and she’s out to get me, whose side would you be on?”
It was a very realistic question. The fact was that Leia was trying to kill Olivia. Ethan couldn’t possibly defend her actions.
“That day will never come.”
Since he already knew Leia was the mastermind behind everything, he would take it upon himself to find her and ask her about her actions.
How did the little girl from back then turn out like this? She even joined an international terrorist organization.
Olivia smirked mockingly, saying, “Ethan, why don’t we make a bet? If the day really comes, you’ll definitely choose your sister.”
“No, Liv. Trust me, you’re the most important person in the world to me.”
Olivia didn’t show much emotion on her face. She didn’t want to argue with Ethan on the topic
anymore.
Ethan saw that she was determined to leave. “You’re just leaving like this? Don’t you want to know what happened to your father?”
Olivia stopped and asked, “Do you know where he is?”

“I don’t. There were four groups of men that day-your mercenaries, Kelvin’s men, and two groups of Toxic Hive people. I didn’t know Colin’s identity back then. But now that I know, it’s easy to deduce that he’s the one who took your father.”
Ethan walked toward Olivia and whispered in her car, “You were willing to go with him because he took your father, right?”
Olivia was impressed that Ethan could guess what happened without her saying anything.
“Yes. He took my father away from here. I almost left with him too. He might be bad, but he never tried to hurt me. He just wanted to take me away from this place of suffering.”
Smiling coldly, Ethan said, “Did he want to bring you away from suffering, or did he want to keep you for himself? Liv, don’t be too naive. Come with me. I’ll show you what Toxic Hive really is.”
Olivia didn’t want to do that, but she couldn’t convince Ethan otherwise. He dragged her to his study and showed her a number of cla*sified documents.
“Here’s some information about Toxic Hive. Take a look.”
Olivia’s expression became horrified as she read the documents. This information would usually be entirely out of her reach as a regular person.
“Did they really do all these things?” she asked in disbelief.
“Yes.”
Those were all cases that had appeared in the news all over the world.
A few years back, a plague transmitted by rats broke out in Xylandia. Up to a thousand people were killed.
There was also the “Golden Gate Riot” that shocked the world. Tens of thousands died in the most prosperous casino in the world.
According to rumors, someone was infected with rabies and started to bite everyone around. It caused rabies to spread in the casino like wildfire. People were biting each other, and they ended up dying.
That place used to be the best casino in the world, but it had been deserted since the incident. Thousands of important people from all over the world died in the incident.
No one was able to provide an accurate statement of what happened. Those who survived the incident were scarred for life.
Olivia’s hands were shaking as she read to the end.
“Why would they do something like that?”
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 …
