Chapter 629
In an underground garage, Darrell stood there with a stormy expression. His phone was called by a virtual number.
He picked up and said coldly, “If you want to make fun of me. I suggest you keep it to yourself.”
“I’m calling to offer you a job.”
“Oh?”
“I know you have spent a lot of money over the years. I have a billion-dollar job. Interested?”
“Tell me about it.”
The man over the phone said slowly, “I’ll give you a billion dollars if you kill Olivia Fordham for me.”
In the CEO’s office, Olivia turned to look at the man. “What is it? Do we have a new lead?”
“No leads on the person, yet. But it’s about time we end this. Do you want to come along and watch the show?”
Olivia blinked and asked, “Can I really?”
“Of course. They are the ones that should apologize, not you.”
Ethan finished dealing with work and personally drove Olivia to the beach.
The sun was setting, and Olivia could make out the horizon.
She had an inherent fear of the sea. Her heart rate spiked as they got closer to the sea.
Ethan knew what was troubling her. He played soothing music and said, “We’re almost there.”
“Okay.”
Olivia tried to divert her attention by going through social media on her phone. After a while, they arrived at the Sunset
Mansion.
Olivia had a late dinner, so her stomach started to hurt.
Ethan noticed that she was walking slower. He turned back to look at her anxiously. “What’s wrong?”
Olivia knew Ethan had something important to do. She endured the pain and said, “I’m fine. It’s just a little chilly. Let’s go inside.”
Olivia had asked Madam Burgess if she had any illnesses in the past, and Madam Burgess told her that she used to be healthy.
She was weakened by the premature birth, but her stomach should be fine.
So, Olivia didn’t think the pain was anything serious. She thought it was probably some minor gastric issue, so she didn’t bring it up. Olivia entered the room while holding back the pain in her stomach.
When she entered the room, she was met with a gust of warm air. But the smell of blood in the air made Olivia, whose stomach was already in discomfort, retched.
“Liv.”
Olivia didn’t vomit. It was probably because she had an empty stomach. She forced a smile and said, “I’m fine.”
Olivia looked at the living room. The smell of blood came from that direction. There were several b*dyguards in the spacious living room.
A woman was lying on the floor. Olivia’s gaze fell on the woman’s legs. They were prosthetics. The woman was covered in her own blood. It made the place look messy and bloody.
A seemingly elegant middle-aged man quickly stood. “Mr. Miller, you’ve arrived. I was just teaching this bitch a lesson. I’m sorry that you had to witness such an unsightly display.”
The man was Diego. Even though he was a middle-aged man, he didn’t look like a typical aging man.
His face and figure were still in decent condition. He was probably a very handsome man in his youth.
Olivia would think he was a friendly older gentleman if there wasn’t blood on his hands and his white shirt.
“This must be Mrs. Miller, come…” Diego’s gaze fell on Olivia, and he lost his voice. He instinctively looked at the woman on the floor and returned to his senses after several seconds.
“Come, have a seat.”
Olivia asked politely, “Is there any hot water?”
“Of course, right this way.”
Diego kicked the woman on the floor when he walked past her.
After a while, the maids served some fruits, snacks, and all sorts of beverages.
The pain in Olivia’s stomach subsided after she drank some warm water and ate some of the snacks to ease her hunger..
Diego said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mr. Miller. I didn’t expect this bitch to have the audacity to make a move against the Miller Group and you.
“I apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please name your price.”
Diego was much older than Ethan, but he was very humble.
Ethan raised a hand to silence Diego. He looked at the woman on the floor and asked coldly, “Is she dead?”
“Of course not, Mr Miller. You asked me to keep her alive, so I spared her life.”
“Wake her. I have some questions for her.”
“Understood.”
Although Olivia felt they were a little cruel, she knew Ethan well. He didn’t need to push others so hard. So, Olivia just watched and didn’t speak up to stop them.
A bucket of salt water was splashed on the woman, and she regained consciousness from the pain.
The woman screamed in pain. When she raised her head, the first thing she saw was the woman sitting next to Ethan.
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 …
