Chapter 363
Otto’s words shook Marina. He patted her shoulder and said, “There’s no need to be afraid. I have killed plenty of people on the battlefield. I wouldn’t be resorting to such methods if your father had listened to me and had a baby. He’s too crazy about her.”
“So her leukemia didn’t develop by chance?” Marina looked at Otto in shock.
The bloodlust in Otto’s eyes remained strong. He said with a cold smile, “That’s right. I had wanted your father to marry a woman that’s a match for our family after your mother pa*sed away. But he married Chloe instead. She could no longer bear a child after her miscarriage.
“I asked your father to find another healthy woman and have a baby, but he refused. That’s why I had to do this.”
Marina’s fingers held onto the chair’s armrests tightly. She was the one who caused Chloe’s miscarriage. She had hated Chloe ever since she was a child. She felt like Chloe stole Chris’ love from her mother.
Marina thought if Chloe gave birth to a baby, even her father would be taken from her.
Marina had felt happy that Chloe could no longer bear a child when she found out. She didn’t expect her actions to cause Otto to harbor murderous intentions toward Chloe.
Otto noticed that Marina was silent. He softened his attitude and said, “Marina, you must be vicious to hold on to your status. Don’t blame me for being ruthless. Everything I do is for you and our family.”
“I know that, Grandpa.”
“That’s good. I need you to be on my side. Don’t tell your father about the bone marrow. Don’t worry. First, we’ll take care of Chloe. Then, we’ll handle Olivia. As long as you don’t reveal your bone marrow compatibility, she won’t have long to live.”
“Alright.”
“Good girl. Now, I have an important guest to meet.”
“Guest? Who is it?”
“I’ll introduce you next time. For now, you’re excused.”
Marina was puzzled. All of Otto’s friends were overseas. He seldom contacted anyone in the country. How could he have a guest?
Marina pretended to leave but snuck back and hid behind a tree.
She thought she would be happy to know that Chloe would die soon. But after learning the

truth, she realized she couldn’t feel joy at all.
It was a fact that she hated Chloe. But when she thought about how she was the one who caused Chloe’s infertility, which in turn caused Otto’s murderous intent, she felt troubled.
Otto was born in the warring era. In those times, men went to the battlefield and killed their enemies to protect the country’s peace. Soldiers from that era forged the path for the country’s prosperity.
Meanwhile, most regular people these days couldn’t even slaughter chickens, much less murder someone.
Otto had always been Marina’s hero. But a heroic man with many achievements was plotting against a defenseless woman. Marina didn’t know how to feel about that.
The butler’s voice came from the yard. “Madam, wait here for a moment.’
Marina collected her thoughts and looked at the person. The guest was a woman wearing a black cloak that covered her entire b*dy. Even her face was covered by a mask with a picture of
a totem.
Her attire didn’t look like that of a modern person. Instead, she was like the antagonist of a movie. She didn’t have a single inch of skin exposed.
The woman stood in the yard while the butler said, “Please take off your cloak, Madam.”
Laughing softly, the madam reached her hand out. Judging from the skin on her hands, she should be in her 20s or 30s at most. Her nails were long and painted bright red. Her pale skin and blood-red nails made Marina think of a villainous antagonist.
The woman took off her cloak to reveal a form-fitting dress. Her figure was so good that even Marina was envious.
Was Otto so S**ually active? Did he get a woman at his age?
The door opened with a creak.
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 …
