Chapter 602
Before Mara joined the entertainment industry, she was famous for being a bully. She had always been the one bullying others, and no one had ever bullied her before.
She was a lowly celebrity in the entertainment industry, but she was good at socializing. She never lacked men.
She only focused on earning money. She didn’t care if she was able to film shows. As long as she could get money, she didn’t care what methods she had to use.
But she didn’t expect that someone would want to kill her. Her eyes widened even more as she squeezed out the word, “W- Why?”
This man looked so weak before. How did he suddenly turn out like this?
Cold murderous intent emanated from his b*dy. He wasn’t a normal janitor at all.
“Blame yourself for messing with people you should never have provoked, Ms. Hudson. Someone paid for you to die.”
Mara had never gotten involved with things like that before. It was only then that she realized the gravity of the situation. This was a lawful society! How could someone be so bold that they would murder others in public?
“D-Don’t kill me. I’ll pay you. I’ll give you all my money.”
But the man simply sneered. As he tightened his grasp, Mara felt herself suffocating.
Mara’s b*dy kept wriggling in the air. She finally saw the man’s eyes beneath the brim of the cap.
Those weren’t a common man’s eyes at all. He was an a*sa*sin!
In the last few seconds before she died from suffocation, she heard the man say, “This is what you get for snatching things from others. If you owe someone, you’ll eventually have to pay up.”
As all signs of living left her b*dy, it was tossed cruelly onto the ground.
The plum blossoms were blooming vividly on the branches. The man broke off a branch and then placed it on her chest. Mara’s eyes weren’t closed. Her b*dy lay stiffly on the ground, and she stared up at the sky with a twisted expression on her
face.
Snow danced under the dim streetlights. The woman would never wake up again.
“Who is it?”
When Kelvin’s voice rang out, the man had disappeared into the night.
By the time Kelvin hurried over, he found Mara lying on the ground with her eyes wide open. He hastily crouched down and checked her breath, but she wasn’t breathing anymore.
Before he could go after the man, he saw a woman dashing over in panic. Her scream resounded in the night. “Help! Murder!”
Olivia had just arrived home with Ethan. Before she had a chance to remove her makeup, Brent appeared in the living room
with an anxious look on his face.
“Bad news, Mr. Miller.”
Olivia, who had walked up to the staircase, paused in her footsteps. “What happened?”
Brent glanced at Ethan. Instead of asking about it, Ethan comforted Olivia, saying, “Something to do with work. It’s getting late, so you should take a bath and rest.”
Olivia glanced at Brent suspiciously, but he spoke in a calm tone as well, “Yes, Mrs. Miller. I just have some work-related matters to talk to Mr. Miller about. Don’t worry.”
“Don’t stay up too late, then.” Olivia looked away as she went back to the bedroom.
Chapter 602
Ethan and Brent walked to the study, one after the other. When the soundproofed door was closed, Brent finally spoke up, Bad news. Kelvin was arrested.”
Ethan didn’t panic. “For what reason?”
“Your guess was correct, Mr. Miller. There’s something wrong with that janitor. When Kelvin went after the janitor, he found Mara dead.
“Before he could leave the scene, he happened to bump into Mara’s manager and driver, who were there to pick her up. They mistook him for the murderer.
“The culprit chose a blind spot from the surveillance cameras. He’s also a professional a*sa*sin. Kelvin had appeared at the crime scene, and for the moment, there’s no evidence to prove that he’s innocent.”
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 …
