Chapter 592
Olivia had lost her memory, but she wasn’t a fool. The corridor should be cleared beforehand. So, these journalists couldn’t have appeared out of the blue.
Also, the woman with exquisite makeup and elegant clothes wouldn’t just trip in her high heels.
It was obvious that she had gotten the journalists to lie in wait beforehand.
The scheme was shallow but quite effective.
But Olivia couldn’t understand something. Ethan came from a good background, but he was only a slightly more respected employee. It didn’t make sense for the woman to go to such lengths.
Olivia wondered what Ethan would do about the woman’s actions.
Olivia realized that she didn’t feel as bad as she had imagined. She was even watching Ethan’s reaction calmly.
A weak-looking woman had tripped. Anyone, not just men, would instinctively try to catch her.
Ethan was on the phone at first. At that moment, the lights stretched out the shadow of his slender b*dy. He was standing upright.
Throughout the incident, his expression was calm and cold. When the woman was about to fall into his arms, he took a step backward.
Ethan had gained control of his instincts a long time ago. He could calmly deal with any situation now.
Even if the woman were to commit suicide in front of him, he would take a step backward all the same. He would merely be worried that her blood might dirty his clothes. Much less could be said of her tripping and falling.
Right before the woman fell, Olivia caught sight of her expression.
There was shock, fear, and confusion.
She was wondering if he was serious when he took a step back.
She had calculated everything without any mistakes. The shutters of the cameras went off right at that moment.
They happened to capture the scene of her falling embarra*singly to the floor.
The corridor wasn’t carpeted, so the woman hit the cold hard floor.
Even from a distance away, Olivia could hear her grunt when she hit the floor. It must be quite painful.
The woman had tears in her eyes as she looked pitifully at Ethan. “Ethan…”
She only called his name, but her expression was filled with accusation.
Any man would have felt bad for her.
Alas, Ethan looked at her as if he were looking at a monster. He frowned deeply, making it clear that he was upset.
“Don’t you remember me, Ethan? I’m Nikki. I think I hurt my knee. Can you help me up?”
“No.”
Ethan replied quickly, “It’s not appropriate for a man to touch a woman.”
Nikki’s eyes widened even more. She thought that she was hearing things. It wasn’t in the old days. No one cared about men touching women anymore.
“But we played together when we were young. I’ve been thinking of you in all the years we were apart. I …” Nikki wanted to
continue.
Ethan seemed to have seen something. His gaze turned from dissatisfaction to tenderness. The air about him turned gentle as well, and the fierce atmosphere from just now had completely dissipated.
Nikki thought that he was smiling at her, and she was glad. She knew that no man would be able to reject her.
When Ethan strode toward her, Nikki had already adjusted her expression. She reached out helplessly, waiting for the man to help her up so that she could throw herself into his arms.
She had already prepared her best expression, but Ethan walked past her without even looking back. He even sped up as he whisked past her like the wind. He didn’t have the slightest intention to pause.
They were so far apart, but Ethan spent only a few seconds to arrive before Olivia. “Liv.”
Nikki was in disbelief. He had completely ignored her!
She wanted to see how capable that woman was.
Just then, a hand reached out in front of 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 …
