Chapter 603
Brent looked a little panicked. This matter could either be a trivial issue or a huge incident.
Professional a*sa*sins would usually lay out the plan beforehand. They would calculate precisely how they would kill the person and deal with the b*dy.
They would never expose themselves, nor would they leave any fingerprints.
Kelvin was an easygoing person, so that was why he ended up shouldering the blame.
“Mr. Miller, that jerk was wearing gloves. There are no fingerprints or any surveillance footage. Kelvin also happened to be at the scene. Even worse, rumors are starting to appear on the internet.”
Ethan rubbed his wedding ring. In contrast to Brent’s urgency, Ethan looked more calm and reserved.
“What rumors?”
“Someone posted about the incident between Mrs. Miller and Mara. They claimed that we abuse our power Even news of Mara’s death is making the rounds.
to oppress
others.
“She’s not too famous, but she made quite a fuss shortly before her death. Also, Kelvin was found at the crime scene. People started hinting that we’re the ones behind Mara’s death.
“After the news gained traction, they’re now convinced that we’re the ones who did it. Should I settle this right away?”
Ethan lit a cigarette. “Tell the PR department not to deal with any rumors at the moment.”
“Why? Things have snowballed to this extent in such a short time. If we drag this out, it’s going to influence Miller Group’s reputation and share prices even more.”
“Two reasons. Firstly, it has already gotten out of control. People will only think that we’re feeling guilty if we spend money to suppress the matter.
“Before any evidence is found, no one will believe what the PR department says.
“Secondly, we don’t know if someone planned this or if it was a mere coincidence. If we fight back recklessly, we might fall into the trap the enemy laid out beforehand. That’ll drag us into the pit.”
Brent knew that Ethan was right, but he was still worried about Kelvin.
“Then what should we do now?”
“Look up information on Mara. We’ve never had anything to do with her, so it doesn’t make sense that she would cause trouble for us. Look into her family background and past experiences.”
“Understood.”
Ethan puffed out some white smoke through his thin l*ps. “Investigate Warren too.”
They couldn’t be more familiar with that name. Warren was the main culprit behind the incident that caused Olivia’s premature childbirth. Many of Ethan’s men were lost in that incident.
Brent’s gaze instantly turned cold. “So, Warren was the janitor?”
“I wasn’t sure about it before, but now, I’m convinced.”
After the incident, Ethan researched Warren’s past in detail.
Even though Warren escaped by luck that night, his leg was injured. He wouldn’t have been able to recover in such a short
time.
In the past few days, Ethan had already issued a warrant for him on the dark web. But there were no traces to be found.
When he pa*sed by the man just now, Ethan noticed that something was off. That was why he asked Kelvin to take a look. He didn’t expect things to turn out like this.
“Why would Warren kill an unknown celebrity? Didn’t the Black Ravens cancel their bounty on Mrs. Miller already?
“He put in so much effort to make this happen, but the most he can do is affect Miller Group a little. Assa*sins are only ever in charge of killing people. What does this have to do with him?”
“We can’t say for sure.” Ethan rubbed between his eyebrows. He had a feeling that Warren wasn’t targeting Olivia.
Too many accidents happened today. No one would’ve expected Olivia to go to the bathroom at that moment.
If she had gone a little earlier or later, she wouldn’t have bumped into them.
“Send someone from the police to ask around. Even if Kelvin appeared at the crime scene, no one has any evidence that he’s the one who did it. He won’t be charged for now. We still have time.”
“Understood.”
It was late in the night.
Olivia was about to go to sleep when she received a news notification on her phone.
When she tapped on it, she saw a blurred photo of Mara’s corpse.
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 …
