Chapter 674
Under the glow of the fire, the sea looked like a roaring monster.
Joanne described the situation back then. “Mrs. Miller Senior, our people hadn’t even approached
the place when an explosion sounded from Mr. Miller’s location.
“I even heard gunshots in the fire. When we hurried there, the situation was already out of control.
We didn’t bring any gas masks with us, and the fire was too big.
“There were also snipers getting ready in the distance, so…”
Joanne’s eyes were filled with guilt. Ethan didn’t expect that, but even she wasn’t aware that the
enemies would be so cruel.
Their plan was also so tightly linked together that there was no room for compromise.
They made use of Ethan’s intention to capture them alive. Then, they set up a trap for Ethan to
jump into.
Janice said with a dark expression, “I heard that they hired a hundred elite mercenaries to
a*sa*sinate Liv a few months ago.
“Now, Liv has already gone overseas. But they not only knew her location quickly, but they also prepared all this in such a short time. Who exactly is this person?”
“No matter who it is, they can’t have been an ordinary person. We underestimated them this time.
We can only pray for Mr. Miller’s safety.”
The helicopter circled in the air. They couldn’t descend in that situation. Janice felt extremely
annoyed in her heart.
“Look into them at all costs. I want to know who it was that was bold enough to attack my son.”
Janice frowned deeply. “Investigate the illegitimate son. He has a motive.”
“Understood, Mrs. Miller Senior.”
It was late at night. A person was standing on a balcony of a presidential suite in a hotel.
They wore a bathrobe, and they held a wine gla*s in their hand. They took a sip from it.
It felt amazing to look down at the world at their feet.

The Millers couldn’t sleep a wink throughout the night. Olivia also waited through the night with
her eyes wide open.
Her phone was right next to her. She wished she could hear the familiar ringtone again.
But she had waited a whole night, and the sky had turned from darkness to light. But in the end,
she didn’t get anything.
The maid coaxed her. “Please rest for a while, Mrs. Miller. If you don’t want to, you can have
breakfast, too.”
Olivia had gastric pain a few times last night, and she felt like she was numb to the pain by now.
She turned mechanically to look at the maid. “I can’t stomach anything.”
“Mrs. Miller Senior told me to bring you downstairs for breakfast.”
When Olivia heard that it was Janice’s orders, she rushed down the stairs. Janice sat at the dining
table as always. “Is there any news, Mom?”
“The fire was put out later in the night. They found a few burnt corpses, and they’ve already sent the bodies for autopsy.”
When Olivia heard the word ‘corpses’, her vision blacked out. She almost fell from the stairs.
Fortunately, Joanne caught her in time. “Mrs. Miller, calm down. Even if they found corpses, it
might not have been Mr. Miller.”
Olivia was helped to the dining table.
Harold was dining with them today, which was a rare sight. He seemed to have gotten much older
overnight, but he remained patient as he comforted Olivia.
“That kid won’t get killed so easily. Sit down and eat breakfast for now.”
Janice and Harold trusted Ethan a lot. But Olivia didn’t understand where the trust came from.
She sat down as she was told. Taking a bowl of soup, she drank it carelessly. “Grandpa, when are
the autopsy results coming out?”
Harold glanced at his watch. “Soon.”
Olivia tightened her grip on the spoon.

Just then, Edmund strode in. “Mr. Harold, Mr. … I mean, Kenneth and his family are here.”
When Harold heard that name, his eyes widened in rage.
“Who allowed them to come in? Aren’t we in a mess enough as it is? Tell them to get lost right now!
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 …
