Ethan didn’t dodge. Stepping forward, Brent separated Everly from Ethan. “Please calm down, Ms. Hilton. Things have tumed out like this, but Mr. Miller never wanted it to happen.
“It was Mrs. Miller herself who chose this path. Mr. Miller is already sad enough as it is.”
Everly couldn’t hold it in. With tears running down her face, she howled, “You jerk. Liv was already
recovering, but you must’ve provoked her again. Liv is so unlucky to have met you.”
She stepped around Brent. She was wearing high heels, so she was only half a head shorter than Ethan. She grabbed Ethan’s collar with both hands.
“What crimes did Liv commit that you had to treat her like that?”
Ethan lowered his gaze, saying calmly, “She never did anything wrong. I’m the one at fault.”
Everly was pissed, but now that things had turned out like this, she couldn’t do anything about it.
It wouldn’t make a difference even if she killed Ethan. Olivia would not be coming back.
But she couldn’t just hold in her fury. She tried to hit Ethan again.
This time, someone grabbed her hand. It was her boss, who was also the man who told her the news and brought her here.
“That’s enough, Ms. Hilton.” The man had a stern look on his face.
Everly was still fuming, so she refused to let go. “Let go of me, Henry! I’m going to kill this jerk! Liv
wouldn’t have died if it weren’t for him. He was the one who forced her to her death.”
Everly grabbed the white roses laid at the side, throwing them all on Ethan’s b*dy. One of the thorns on the white roses scratched his cheek, leaving a bloody scar on his face.
Blood slowly streamed down his face.
Ethan never resisted throughout the process. His expression didn’t even change.
He was in the wrong, so he would take his punishment. He would pretend that Everly was hitting him in Olivia’s stead.
The floor was in a mess. Henry felt that Everly had vented enough, so he grabbed her waist and carried. her away.
“Let go of me, jerk!”

“You should know when to stop, Ms. Hilton.” Henry had a threatening look in his eyes.
Everly’s voice turned smaller. Ethan bent over and picked up the roses scattered on the floor.
His figure was broad and tall, but for some reason, he looked like an old man.
Many people were affected by Ethan’s sorrow, and their eyes turned red as well.
Someone commented, “He must be deeply in love with his wife.”
A child asked innocently, “But if he loves her so much, how could he bear to hurt her?”
An adult hastily covered the child’s mouth. “Quit the nonsense.”
Ethan was nearby, so he heard what they said. He chuckled bitterly. “Yes, Liv. I like you so much, so why
did I hurt you? Even children know this truth, but I only understand it now. Is it too late now?”
When he placed the roses back in place, he lowered his head in front of the photo.
“Don’t worry, Liv. I won’t have mercy on anyone who ever hurt you.”
As Ethan spoke, he turned around and swept his gaze across the venue.
Everly noticed that the look in his eyes had changed.
Just now, he looked like a deflated balloon who lost his will to fight. But now, he looked more like a spirited eagle.
His gaze was sharp as if he were looking for his prey.
The people who noticed his gaze felt chills running down their spines.
A person among the crowd subconsciously took a step backward, but Ethan had already locked onto her.
He swiftly stepped forward. Before the woman left, he grabbed her hand in time.
There was a look of surprise in Leia’s eyes. She had disguised herself very well, so how did he find out?
Ethan seemed to have seen through her thoughts. An eerie smile suddenly appeared on his face.
“Silly child. We came from the same womb, so how could I forget your gaze? Be good and pay your respects to your sister-in-law.”
His voice was very gentle, but it sounded terrifying.
The others had no idea who the woman was. They watched as Ethan grabbed her hand and then pulled her up to the photo,

“Kneel.”
Of course, Leja refused to do it. Before she could open her mouth to explain, someone kicked her in the
calves. In the next second, Ethan pushed the back of her head, forcing her to kneel.
With a thud, blood splattered in the air.
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 …
