Chapter 398
Olivia left the room, her head filled with questions. Right then, Avery covered her mouth and dragged her to the side.
He smelled of scented candles, so she wasn’t that surprised when he suddenly dragged her
away.
She was curious about what he was going to do.
He gave her a look, hinting at her to look downward.
They were standing by the balcony on the second floor. There were two people standing on the
lawn downstairs.
Although one of them was facing his back to Olivia, she recognized him easily.
It was none other than Ethan.
He was grabbing the wrist of a skinny woman in a white dress.
It was Leia, whom Olivia and Avery met not long ago.
Ethan’s objective was to root Toxic Hive out. Thus, there was a chance that he had long known
that that woman was Leia.
The realization made Olivia break into a cold sweat.
She shook her head immediately. Ethan loved her. He would never lie about that.
Thus, she believed that this was a coincidence. It was possible that he had found out the truth
recently.
However, reality soon proved her wrong.
“Let go of me!” Leia demanded coldly.
“Leia, I know that it’s you,” Ethan said with much difficulty.
“You don’t have to deny that. If you didn’t care about me, you wouldn’t have risked your life to stop Leo from killing me. I’ve asked someone to perform a DNA test on Jodie.”
Leia faced her back at him. Her expression remained hidden under the mask.
“What’s the point of doing that? Just pretend that your younger sister was long gone a long time ago.”
Saying that was no different from admitting that she was Leia.

By now, Olivia’s back was covered with a cold sweat.
Ethan had long known the truth. In fact, it seemed like he had known about it even before she had found out.
So the person who had dug up Jodie’s grave was none other than him!
Yet, he had been deceiving Olivia. Not only that, but he had also tried to talk her out of pursuing the truth.
And it was because he couldn’t accept the truth himself.
It was no wonder that he made soup for her, that he claimed that they could have babies in the future, and that he had been accommodating her recently.
There had been so many hints all the while.
Ethan had realized that he had wrongfully blamed Olivia and the Fordhams all this time. He was pleasing her out of guilt.
He had even chosen to deceive Olivia to protect his sister.
Olivia hadn’t been this crestfallen since the day he had brought up divorce and the day she had lost her baby.
It had been winter back then. The cold breeze had shrouded her, biting her skin.
She remembered feeling cold all over. The cold had even seeped into her heart. It had hurt so
much that she had barely been able to breathe.
Now, she was going through the same pain. It was all because of the same person, too.
Tears ran down her cheeks.
Previously, Ethan had crushed Olivia’s heart to pieces. Now, he had stabbed her right from the
back.
He had completely lost her trust.
She reined her emotions in, trying not to let out any noise.
She reckoned that Ethan was happy right now. No one knew how much he loved Leia better
than her.
“Leia, tell me, what made you turn out this way? If you weren’t dead, why didn’t you return home earlier? Do you know how many places I’ve searched for you?”
Ethan turned her around. “Tell me, where have you been and what have you been up to these
years?”

Even though he had finally found Leia, what he wished to know wasn’t the reason why she had treated him this way.
Olivia could make up excuses for Marina’s matter, but she could never clear Leia’s name for all the things she had done.
In the past, Olivia had thought that Ethan genuinely loved her with all his heart.
But it now seemed like a joke to her.
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 …
