Chapter 562
Only then did Brent understand Ethan’s intention.
Ethan had never wanted to send Olivia to the training from the start. He simply needed a chance to inject the drug into her.
Still, there was a voice inside Brent telling him that it was inappropriate to do that.
“But Mr. Miller, even if Mrs. Miller’s past is full of painful memories, she has the right to decide whether she wants to forget
it or not.
“If you inject the drug into her without her consent, what if she recovers her memories? Will she forgive you?”
“Do you think that I haven’t considered that? Forget about how difficult it was for her to come this far. Revenge is the only thing on her mind.
“She became unusually sensitive. She can’t have a good night’s sleep every night. The ruffling gra*s alone is enough to wake
her up.
“Whenever she falls asleep, nightmares plague her. Plus, there’s a huge wall between Olivia and me. I have no other choice.”
He lifted his silver wedding ring, which reflected the sunlight shining upon it.
“I’ve finally found a way to break out of this stalemate. As long as we inject M1 into Liv, she will forget her painful memories, including how I had hurt her.”
Madness and exhilaration were evident in Ethan’s expression when he talked about that.
“She will become the woman who only has her eyes on me again. Our marriage will be perfect, and no one can ever ruin it again.”
Brent parted his l*ps, but he didn’t know what to say.
He simply hoped that Ethan would have his wish granted.
The man Olivia was following was robust and had tanned skin. “Ms. Fordham, I know why you’ve come here. I will do everything in my power to protect you. You can call me Joseph.”
She nodded. “Thanks.”
“This tropical place is close to the equator. It’s hot, humid, and rainy here. Which means it bears an abundance of resources
here.
“There is a lot of food to eat, but there are many poisonous living things-insects, plants, and animals. It’s sketchy everywhere.”
Olivia had done a lot of research before coming. She also received a map from Ethan, so she knew the scores. “I’ve researched all the plants and animals. Don’t worry about it.”
“Okay. I’ll send you to prison later. Just act like a prisoner on a death row. All of you will undergo training together for a month. After that, you will be sent to the island for kills.”
The training Joseph mentioned was actually a time for the candidates to get to know each other and form their own allies.
The trainer had told them that only ten percent of the candidates would be able to stay.
Those prisoners were on death row. Hence, they would naturally have the will to become a part of that 10 percent so that they
can start their life anew.
Still, they didn’t know that the trainer was hiding something from them.
After winning, they would be sent to the main island for the final battle. The ones who survived were usually the person who had hurt their own teammates.
That was the final trial-humanity.
Rooting humanity out of an individual would make him a qualified killer.
However, Olivia knew all of the hidden rules. Thus, she didn’t plan on forming allies with anyone.
When she was thrown into the dark prison, all eyes were on her.
Male prisoners outnumbered female prisoners.
When they noticed that she was a woman, someone whistled.
“It’s a woman!”
Someone cluck his tongue. “And she’s ugly.”
“Switch off the lights, and they’ll all be the same.”
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 …
