Chapter 628
Ethan explained the whole story to Olivia in his office.
In fact, he had long known that Darrell was getting in touch with his men. Ethan played along with it by asking his subordinates to betray him in order to earn Darrell’s trust.
Darrell fell right into Ethan’s trap, and Ethan was able to root out the rats in the meantime.
Olivia was gaping the whole time. Two days ago, she came across a content regarding the business scenarios in real life.
But the description was nothing compared to this. She thought, “Shouldn’t it be like the boss asks me to remove the cable in the competitor’s building or use black magic to ruin their business development?”
Ethan grazed her nose. “You’re drooling.” Comment by soonyoung gu: Huh
“I mean, you can tell me more about your studd. Otherwise, I’ll feel like I’m a good-for-nothing.” Comment by soonyoung gu: Huh
Her adorable expression made him chuckle. “I don’t really wanna drag you into this.”
“Since we’ve averted the company crisis, what about Mara’s case? Kelvin and Brent are still detained. I heard the Finance Department was taken into custody. The public opinion is worrying me.”
“Don’t be afraid. I’ve never messed up the financial statement. Someone’s copying the bad guys by reporting us. Let them be. I have my plans.”
Darrell was the only person out of his concern. After all, there was only one thing Darrell could win against Ethan.
That was family.
Now, Ethan was worried about the mastermind who was targeting Olivia.
That mastermind was a very careful person. The hired a*sa*sin killed himself after getting caught, leaving no trace behind.
“What’s wrong? You won the game with perfection.”
Considering that Olivia appeared more mentally stable than before, he added, “Liv, Darrell is not scary. The scary person is the one who hired an a*sa*sin to kill you when things were a mess.”
He hoped that she would watch out for a bit.
“The acid and dagger incident? Aren’t they merely Mara’s hardcore fans?”
“No. Someone bought him off to make him pretend to be her fan. He was only planning to cause a ruckus, but he noticed that you were there.
“So, he came up with a plan on the spot to kill you. Thank God you dodged it. I can’t bring myself to think what could’ve happened otherwise.”
Olivia’s brows furrowed. “No wonder I sensed something off about him. He seemed murderous. Was he a professional?”
“Yes.”
She touched her belly. “Be honest with me. Do they have to do with my early delivery?”
“Yes. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t wanna upset you.”
She clenched her fists tightly. “What did I do wrong? Who do they want to kill me?”
Ethan caressed her cheek. “Liv, you’ve done nothing wrong. That person hid himself well. I’ve been looking for him with everything in my power.”
“Have you found him?”
“No. All I can say with certainty is that he’s out of the country. Not only can he hire an a*sa*sin whenever he wants, but he’s
also a hacker.
“He can spend millions of dollars and use all of his resources to kill you. My only guess is that it has something to do with your identity.”
“My identity?”
Ethan recounted the situation briefly.
Olivia lowered her gaze while giving it a serious thought for a moment.
“That means my parents could be someone extraordinary. My existence is posing a threat to some people. That’s why they don’t mind spending so much money to eliminate me?”
“That is one of the reasons. That’s why I publicly displayed my love for you. I was trying to lure that person out.”
The glint in her eyes turned determined. “We will be able to catch them one day. I will avenge my children.”
“We will. We will catch them one day.” The loving man hugged her.
The children were his sore spot.
Unlike Connor, Ethan had showered those two babies with a lot of care and love. He had looked forward to their birth more than anyone else.
His phone vibrated, and he answered the call.
“I’ll be right there.”
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 …
