Chapter 760
Brent said, “I feel like you’ve changed, Mr. Miller.”
“In the past, I always thought that my arrangements were the best decisions for her. But in reality, I’ve hurt her time and again. Moreover, it’s not a bad thing for Liv to fake her death.
“She can fool me and also her enemy, so this can indeed be the safest route for her. She doesn’t have to constantly worry about being a*sa*sinated.”
Brent said, “So, Mr. Miller, other than putting on this act to deceive Mrs. Miller, you’re also trying to fool the enemy.”
“Only then can we have more time to investigate. This is the time when that person will let down their guard. But before that, I have something to do.”
“What is it?”
“I have to clear some obstacles.”
News of Olivia dying from her incurable disease quickly spread. Olivia’s funeral was held tonight, and almost everyone from the upper-cla*s society attended it.
Janice’s eyes were red. She quite liked this daughter-in-law of hers, but sadly, Olivia pa*sed away too early.
Harold still hadn’t recovered. Standing in the hall with a dazed look on his face, he asked Edmund, “Who died?”
Edmund had a pained look on his face. “Please stop asking, Mr. Harold.”
The others were discussing it as well. “I heard that Mr. Miller loves his wife very much.”
“It can’t be that much, can it? Wasn’t he preparing to marry another woman some time ago?”
“You’re right. Mrs. Miller is such a pitiful woman.”
Marina didn’t have the right to attend the funeral. But when she heard of Olivia’s death, she was so overwhelmed that she sobbed.
The day had finally come. Olivia was dead, so no one would snatch Ethan from her anymore!
Fate was on her side. She had finally outlasted Olivia.
When Ethan made his appearance, the people who knew him were all shocked.

He was still wearing a formal suit. His usually clean chin now had stubble on it. He had a haggard look on his face, and his eyes were red. He looked like he had aged a decade.
He had lost a lot of weight In a short period. Keith almost couldn’t recognize him.
Keith had expected Ethan to be greatly affected by Olivia’s death, but he didn’t expect Ethan to be affected this much.
It was as if Ethan had turned into another person.
Ignoring everyone’s gazes, Ethan slowly walked up to Olivia’s photo.
The photo was taken in her student days. Back then, she was innocent and cheery, and her smile was radiant.
Ethan reached out to touch the photo. He wished that time would freeze at that moment. That way, Olivia wouldn’t have to go through so much suffering.
He recalled everything they had gone through together. He had stripped her of all her strength, pride, and dignity and then trampled them under his feet.
He had twisted her into an extremely pitiful woman.
He thought, “I’m sorry, Liv. From today onward, I’ll set you free. I know that you can’t forgive me for what I’ve done. I’ll atone for it with my whole life.”
A single tear streamed down his face.
He shed that tear for the sake of their past.
From today onward, he would start over as well.
“Ethan!” A woman’s voice rang out.
While everyone was being emotional, the voice startled them. They instantly looked at the woman.
Everly was dressed in all black except for a white flower, which adorned her chest.
She spotted Olivia’s photo hanging in the middle right away.
When she received the news in Arlandia, she didn’t quite believe it at first. But at that moment, when she
saw the haggard Ethan, she knew that Olivia had died for real.
Everyone was wondering who this woman was. Could it be a homewrecker causing trouble? Perhaps
some drama was about to play out.
Everly rushed over to Ethan. Raising her hand, she slapped Ethan across the face.
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 …
