Chapter 406
Ethan had his speculations all along, but he was able to confirm Leia’s true identity now.
Now that he had comprehended the whole story, Olivia should know the truth as the victim.
He answered without opening his eyes, “I can’t say anything for now. Leia must’ve gone through something during the past years.”
Brent gazed at him deeply before letting out a soft sigh. “Mr. Miller, I know that I shouldn’t say some things, but there are only betrayals and misunderstandings between you and Mrs. Miller.
“I know that you care a lot about Ms. Miller, and we can’t deny the fact that Ms. Miller has suffered a lot out there. But this shouldn’t be a reason to hurt Mrs. Miller. The Millers owe her.”
Ethan suddenly opened his eyes, meeting Brent’s gaze through the rearview mirror. “Say, should I kill Leia so that she can pay the price with her life? Even if Leia’s dead, it won’t change the past.”
Brent parted his l*ps, but he didn’t say anything in the end.
He knew that it was already too late to make up for that matter.
Even so, he thought that something had to be done.
As the victim, Olivia would be so disappointed once she found out about everything.
Ethan loved Olivia so much. His decision to keep her in the dark was clearly wrong. It would only drive
her farther and farther away from him.
“Mr. Miller, you should handle this matter properly.” Brent didn’t say anything thereafter. That was the only reminder he could give Ethan so that the latter wouldn’t regret it.
Ethan was getting annoyed. “As long as we keep this between us, she won’t be able to know for now.”
He thought, “Olivia and I have a lot of time ahead of us. I’ll comfort her and slowly return what I owe her.”
Ethan claimed, “We have to speed up the investigation on Toxic Hive and find out what Leia has been through. Oh, any news from Mr. Carlton?”
“Nothing for now.
Ethan wondered what Ms. Rosa wanted to discuss with Chris,
Ethan was restless, feeling that something big was going to happen.
He added, “Keep an eye on Liv. Don’t let her leave again.”
“Yes, sir.”
Back in the castle, the black canopy fluttered along with the light breeze. It revealed Chris, who was deeply asleep.
Chapter 406
2/2
He hadn’t had a good rest for a few days, hence the exhaustion.
The faint fragrance from the scented candle lingered in the air, putting him into good sleep.
He slept for a long time, giving his b*dy the rest it finally deserved.
Chris opened his eyes abruptly. There was no one by his side. The sight of the messy bed alone was enough to tell what had happened.
He had done what that woman told her, but where was she?
Chris moved the canopy out of his field of vision. There was a person sitting before the dressing table.
She wore a black dress last night. Now, she was clad in a beige dress with Yulania flowers embroidered on it.
Judging from her back, she seemed to be in her 20s or 30s.
Chris thought about having S** with her the night before and approached her with huge strides.
“Did you cast a magic spell on me? How did I fall asleep? Didn’t you promise me…”
He stood next to her and grabbed her by the collar.
She slowly turned around. Since she wasn’t wearing a mask, he could finally see that familiar face.
She smiled seducingly. “Are you happy about it?”
He was instantly dumbstruck. He grew suspicious last night, but looking at her face now rendered him speechless.
“H-How could it be you? I personally buried you that year. Are you her younger sister?”
The woman standing in front of him appeared not much different from the way she looked over ten years back then.
If that person was still alive, she wouldn’t have appeared this young,
However, there was one possibility. This woman could be her twin sister or another family member.
To think that he had done the deed with her last night… He pointed right at her nose. “How could you do this!”
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 …
