Chapter 399
Olivia turned and left. She didn’t listen to the conversation any further.
She would be insulting herself if she stayed and listened to them.
She had loved Ethan for many years, and it had turned into a mere joke.
Even though Leia had ruined Olivia and her family, Ethan still called Leia’s name so gently.
Olivia recalled that night they had almost injected poison into her b*dy. She could have died back then!
Now, even the sound of Ethan breathing was repulsive to her.
He kept saying how much he loved her and promised to give her an answer to everything.
In fact, he had been eliminating evidence to prevent her from finding out the truth.
She wondered if this was his way of loving her.
Olivia left the balcony with a piece of rock. The idea of smashing Ethan’s head with it crossed her mind for a brief moment.
She took a deep breath and didn’t look back.
“Your younger sister was long gone. I’m just a living zombie.” Leia’s voice was hoarse. She no longer pretended to be someone else.
Ethan noticed how monotone her voice was. He could still remember how adorable the
Leia had been.
young
She was still young right now, but why was she carrying such a sad bearing like an old person?
“I know that it’s you, Leia. Tell me, why didn’t you return home? You knew that Liv was your sister-in-law. So why did you do those things?”
She broke free from his grasp.
“Yeah, I was the one who did all of those things. If you want to avenge her, you can kill me. I have no will to live anyway,” she said firmly.
She seemed unafraid of the consequences of her past deeds.
Ethan was baffled. “You didn’t even know Liv. Why did you ruin her family?”
He had been picturing their reunion for the past few days. But none of his imaginary scenarios came close to reality.
Chapter 399
Leia wasn’t even explaining her stance. Her sole wish was to die.
“So what if I ruined them? What’s done can’t be undone. Either you kill me or let me go and pretend that you don’t have a younger sister to begin with.”
She was going to leave, but he yanked her back and slapped her in the face.
Her mask fell to the ground from the force of the hard slap.
He hadn’t held back at all, so the edge of the mask accidentally cut her face.
Ethan looked at the unfamiliar face. Her smooth skin was free from wrinkles, but something seemed odd.
It was as if she hadn’t been born with that appearance.
If one took a closer look at her face, they would be able to tell that she had received plastic
surgery.
Ethan asked, “How could you be like this? Leia, do you know how long I’ve been searching for
you
after you were kidnapped?
“And how sad Mom was? She missed you so much that she suffered from depression. She’s been receiving treatment abroad for many years, but she showed no sign of recovery.
“Since you were still alive, why didn’t you return home? Grandma’s greatest regret was not being able to see you before she pa*sed away.”
The yellow light reflected the tears in Leia’s eyes. She covered her face with one hand as she began crying.
“There’s no more turning back. Can’t you pretend that you never saw me?”
“Not a chance. I’ve finally found you after jumping through so many hoops. You’re coming home with me.”
She took an alarm device out. “You better leave if you don’t want to die here. As I said, there’s no more turning back.”
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 …
