Chapter 678
Harold looked up at Darrell with a fierce gaze in his eyes. “What did you say? Do you know
something?”
An innocent smile remained on Darrell’s face. “Grandpa, I’d like to have a word with you alone. Are
you free right now?”
He was smiling, but a cold, venomous gaze filled his eyes. It sent chills down the beholder’s spine.
Harold gave him a thoughtful look. “Come to the study with me.”
Olivia helped Harold to the door. Harold only allowed Darrell and Edmund to enter while the
others waited outside.
Olivia felt a little uneasy. Harold’s emotions were too unstable right now. After all, he was quite
old, so she feared that Harold couldn’t take it.
Janice patted the back of Olivia’s hand. “Don’t worry, Mr. Harold knows what he’s doing.”
With that, she took Olivia to the terrace, where they sat down together.
Janice asked the household staff to bring them two portions of snacks. Through it all, she never
once spared Kenneth a glance.
With Janice coaxing her, Olivia ate a few snacks to relieve the discomfort in her stomach.
Joanne hurried over and spoke a few words in Janice’s ear. Olivia hastily put down the fork in her
hand, asking, “Do they have an answer?”
Janice nodded. Lowering her voice, she said, “According to the autopsy, the bodies didn’t belong to
Ethan and the others.”
It was only then that Olivia sighed in relief. “That’s good to know.”
It was probably the best answer so far.
But Janice touched the bracelet on her wrist. There was a cold look in her eyes,
There wasn’t anyone else at the scene, and Ethan was missing.
Darrell had visited Harold at that moment, so could it be that Ethan was in his hands? Perhaps he wanted to use Ethan to negotiate.

Of course, Olivia thought of that as well. Was that jerk trying to piss Harold to death?
But Kenneth, the idiot, didn’t know what was going on. Walking up to Janice, he said in a haughty
and commanding tone, “I want you to apologize to Jess.”
Janice glared viciously at him. Her patience had run out. “Apologize my foot! Get lost!”
With that, she walked toward the study. Kenneth grabbed her arm. “Wasn’t I nice enough to you,
Janice?”
Olivia was wondering which part of this man attracted Janice other than his good looks.
Jessica shouted at the side, “Kenny, don’t hurt Janice.”
Even after acting in the over-the-top love triangle for years, Jessica didn’t seem to tire of it.
In the study, Harold was sitting in the chair. Darrell stood like a grade schooler listening to a
lecture.
“Grandpa, this must be our first time talking at such a close distance, right?”
Darrell was trying to play the family card. Harold could see from a glance that Darrell would never
be on his side.
Darrell was completely different from Ethan.
Ethan was reserved, and he hid all his emotions in his heart. Darrell looked obedient, but he was
the best at betraying people.
Harold always disliked people like that.
“Get straight to the point. What do you want to talk to me about, traitor? Don’t think that I don’t
know what you’re trying to do. You can quit the grandson act now.”
Darrell put a hand to his chest, pretending to look sad.
“Oh, Grandpa, I’m your grandson after all. How can you be so cold to me? I feel so hurt.”
He sighed. But then, when he looked up again, he already had a cocky look on his face.
“Never mind, you don’t have much time left anyway, Grandpa. I won’t waste my time on a dying.
man like you.
“I’m here to talk to you about the inheritance rights to the Miller family. ”
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 …
