Chapter 685
No one knew better than Kenneth how stubborn Janice was with her feelings toward him. He could still remember her showing him the paintings and antiques she had gathered.
He remembered the expression on her face back then. She looked like she was offering treasures
to him.
She was born with arrogance, but for his sake, she tried her best to hide it. She also couldn’t help
the smile on her face.
“Look, Kenneth. This is a drawing by a famous artist. I worked very hard to win it at an auction.”
Back then, Janice had stars in her eyes, and she was as proud as the sun in the sky.
When had she changed?
She had turned from a brilliant sun into a cold moon. There was no longer any trace of love toward
him in her eyes.
She even nonchalantly asked that the items be sold at a low price.
“Janice!” Kenneth grew furious.
Janice looked at him lazily. “Do you have anything to say about how I deal with my things?”
Before Kenneth would reply, Janice added coldly, “Even if you do, hold it in! I bought them with
my money. They have nothing to do with you at all.”
With that, Janice turned around to leave. She didn’t even look back.
Kenneth gazed in the direction she left. He had a complicated feeling in his heart.
Jessica could see what he was thinking. This was what Kenneth was like. He didn’t treasure
Janice when she tried so hard to win his favor.
But now that Janice didn’t have any feelings for him anymore, he couldn’t get used to it.
“Kenny, is Janice mad at me? Why don’t I give up the room? I think it’s fine to stay upstairs.”
“It’s okay. Just stay here if you like it.” Kenneth comforted Jessica, shaking off the weird feeling
in his heart.

Jessica sniffled. “Then I’ll talk to Janice later to apologize to her.”
“Just leave her be. She’s born with that temper,” Kenneth said coldly.
In his arms, Jessica smiled gleefully. After waiting for so many years, she finally had her wishes
fulfilled!
Only one last step was left. After driving Janice out of the house, she would be the real Mrs. Miller
Senior now!
Olivia only learned of this after she returned to her room. She comforted Janice, asking, “Mom, are
you okay?”
“Of course, I am. Every painting in that room seems to be mocking my past self for being so
foolish. I don’t want to stay in that room anymore, but I also don’t want them to take advantage of
the things I bought.
“I’ll sell them off soon.”
After making sure that Janice wasn’t sad at all, Olivia was finally rea*sured. “Grandpa wants us to
work with Ethan. We’ll observe the situation first, and we shouldn’t do anything to alert the enemy.
“Ethan is following the mastermind. That person most probably has something to do with Darrell.”
Janice’s expression turned dark. “As expected, a venomous snake can only give birth to another
snake. I knew that this had to be related to him!
“He used AI to edit the person’s face so that we’d believe that Ethan is in his hands. Things must
have been in chaos back then, and even he thought that Ethan had died.
“That’s why he dares to come back with such arrogance.”
Janice replied, “I don’t know what plans Ethan has. Only the three of us should know about this.
Let’s not disrupt his plans no matter what.”
“Understood, Mom.”
Olivia responded obediently. She would be fine with it as long as Ethan was safe.
They were out in the open, but the mastermind was in the shadows. They didn’t have a better
plan, so they could only act according to the circumstances.
“Mom, are you seriously going to sleep here tonight?”
2/3
“What’s the matter? Are you worried that your bed won’t fit us?”
“Of course not. I’m just worried that you can’t get used to it.”
Reaching up, Janice caressed Olivia’s head. “I have a daughter about your age. She left me a long
time ago, and to be honest, I treat you like my daughter.
“So, don’t be shy around me. If you have any requests, just tell me.”
Olivia nodded, wondering if she was seeing things. She felt as if she saw traces of guilt in Janice’s
eyes.
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 …
