Chapter 521
The helicopter landed on the spacious platform. When Olivia stepped out of the aircraft, she could feel a heatwave from all directions.
Ethan held her hand carefully and said, “It’s hot outside. You should wait for me in the helicopter.”
“No need.”
Olivia was determined to get off the helicopter. Avery had also gathered a lot of men. He tried to suppress the fear in his heart as he asked, “Olivia, where did you see the b*dy?”
Olivia found the boat she got on when she fell into the ocean from memory. “It’s that one. The b*dy was still there then. But it’s been six months. I’m not sure…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Avery was already running toward the boat. He disregarded Bryce’s words.
“Be careful, Mr. Avery. Don’t forget that you’re not in good health.”
Avery didn’t listen. He had been looking for his sister for so long. Now that he had a lead, it was about
her death.
Avery, who was usually calm, felt like his legs were about to give way. His mind was in disarray. But still, he moved forward.
The wind was howling in his ears as he climbed up the boat. The b*dyguards got up to the boat before him. Everyone had their flashlights on as they entered the cabin. Before long, they could smell the pungent scent in the air.
The wood had been soaked in water for a long time. It became moldy and smelly. There was also the
smell of rotting meat.
Bryce said, “Mr. Avery, the smell is putrid. Maybe you should wait outside.”
Avery ignored him. He turned on his flashlight and walked faster. His heart was beating erratically,
and his forehead was covered in sweat.
A loud voice came from inside the boat. “We found it. Over here.”
Avery’s knees gave out. He almost fell to the ground, but Bryce was able to catch him in time.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Avery. Even if there is a b*dy, it might not be Ms. Fordham. Her necklace was gone, so maybe the earrings and ring were also bought by someone else.”
Avery wanted to say, “I hope so”, but no words came out.
He trembled as he ran toward where the voice came from. The closer he got, the more unpleasant the
smell became.
He finally saw the b*dy under the light of several flashlights. After six months of decay, the b*dy had

been reduced to a partial skeleton, and some clothes were scattered on the ground. The diamonds were shining under the glow of the flashlights.
“Mr. Avery, it’s indeed the rose diamond earrings.”
One of the men wrapped the jewelry in tissue and picked it up. There were the earrings and the sapphire ring.

Avery took a look at them. It was precisely as Olivia described. He should feel lucky that this area had been abandoned, which was why the scene could be preserved.
Although he had found the jewelry, he still couldn’t prove that the b*dy was his sister. Avery steadied himself and said with great strain, “Secure the scene. If this is the primary crime scene, there will be
more clues.”
“Yes, Mr. Avery. About that b*dy…”.
“Bring it back. Let forensics examine it carefully. I want to do a DNA test.”
Avery hobbled off the boat. His mind was wandering, and his eyes were out of focus.
Olivia saw the b*dy being wrapped in white sheets. She knew that the b*dy had been found.
“Are you okay, Mr. Avery?”
Avery came back to his senses and looked at Ethan. “Mr. Miller, I’m afraid I need to ask for your
a*sistance.”
Ethan looked at Olivia, and he didn’t refuse. “Tell me what you need.”
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 …
