Chapter 369
Kelvin sped up at the next turn. Several cars that were waiting joined the fray. Olivia looked behirfd and saw the Bentley Mulsanne being in the middle of four cars. It was forced to a stop after several minutes.
Kelvin was hot-headed. After rea*suring Olivia, he got out of the car. He wanted to see for himself who had the audacity to tail them.
Although the Bentley Mulsanne was forced to a halt, its tinted windows prevented Kelvin from looking inside.
He knocked on the window cockily and said, “Will you roll down the window yourself or do I need to smash it?”
More than a dozen b*dyguards surrounded the car. This commotion caused some pa*sersby to look over. They wondered if a fight was about to happen.
The window slowly rolled down. The first thing that came into view was the hand on the man’s knee. There was a sapphire ring on the man’s finger. Even the green suit he wore looked impeccable.
The man’s face was slowly revealed until his eyes met Kelvin’s. Kelvin was a little impulsive, but he was still able to tell who the man in the car was.
“You’re… Mr. Avery.”
Kelvin had been to several international finance conferences and had seen Avery a few times before. He exuded an air of unparalleled nobility just by sitting there.
“What business do you have with me?” Avery said while looking at Kelvin coldly.
A chill went down Kelvin’s spine. He didn’t expect to see such an important man.
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Avery. This is a misunderstanding.”
“A misunderstanding?” Avery smiled coldly. It was apparent that he didn’t believe Kelvin.
Kelvin didn’t want to cause trouble for Ethan and wanted to explain himself.
Suddenly, Olivia said, “It’s indeed a misunderstanding, Mr. Avery.”
Avery’s cold expression faded instantly. He even got out of his car.
Olivia explained to him, “It hasn’t been peaceful around me lately. My family is worried about
me, so we thought that I was being targeted by criminals. I’m so sorry, Mr. Avery.”
“So that’s the case. It’s my fault. I was so focused on trying to repay you and ended up causing
2/2
trouble.”
Kelvin felt uneasy when he saw how quickly Avery’s attitude changed. Avery was famous for being a wealthy bachelor. He hoped that Avery hadn’t set his sights on Olivia.
That would be terrible news for Ethan. He was already divorced from Olivia. It wouldn’t matter if Avery was just another regular man, but he wasn’t.
Kelvin intentionally looked at Olivia, asking, “Mrs. Miller, do you know each other?”
Olivia knew what Kelvin was trying to do. “We’ve met twice.”
“This lady saved my life. She was in a rush just now, and I forgot to ask her name. I saw her getting in the car, and I followed after her. I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”
“You don’t have to be so polite, Mr. Avery. It’s nothing. I have the same last name as you. I’m also a Fordham.”
Avery’s eyes lit up. “What a happy coincidence. Do you have…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Olivia’s phone rang. It was a call from Chris. She wondered if he had found out about her origin.
Olivia quickly said, “I’m sorry, but I have to go.”
Olivia got in the car and left in a hurry while Avery stood where he was.
“Mr. Avery, aren’t you here to look for Ms. Quinn? Why are you interested in this stranger?”
Avery said calmly, “She looks like someone I know. Go look into her. Find out who she is.”
“Yes, Mr. Avery. Considering your health, you should return to the hotel and rest. We’ll inform you as soon as we have any updates on Ms. Quinn’s situation.”
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 …
