Chapter 762
Everyone was startled at the loud sound of flesh hitting the tiles.
This wasn’t paying respects, this was attempted murder!
Was Ethan crazy? What had the woman done to him that he would be so cruel toward her?
Leia probably never expected this. She was just here to look on, but she was found out in the end. Also,
the one who did this to her was her older brother, whom she cared about the most.
In her competition with Olivia, she had always been the one Ethan chose.
Last time, he even injured Olivia’s hand for her sake.
So how did things turn out like this?
Leia’s head was spinning from the impact. The skin on her head was also in a bloody mess.
Did Ethan know how hard she had worked just to get her current appearance?
“You must have gotten the wrong person, Mr. Miller! I’ve never done anything to you. Why would you treat me like this?” Leia lowered her voice on purpose, but she couldn’t hide the hoarseness in it.
Even if her face could be restored, she couldn’t fix her voice, which was damaged by the smoke of the huge fire.
But Ethan wasn’t in the mood to play with her faked ignorance. Pressing Leia’s head, he leaned in and spoke coldly in a small voice that only the two of them could hear.
“Leia, Liv is gone. I won’t have mercy on anyone who has ever hurt her. Kneel in front of her and repent. You have no choice.”
Leia stopped pretending as well. “It was the path she chose. What does it have to do with me: you want. to blame someone for it, you should go to the afterlife yourself and blame her.”
“You still won’t repent, huh? I don’t care if you want to do it or not, you have to kneel either way!”
With that, Ethan gripped her head and pressed it downward with all his might. Leia didn’t even have a chance to struggle.
From their movements, Janice could already guess the relationship between them. Her heart ached when she saw Leia being treated like that, but she didn’t stop Ethan.
It was her fault for owing Leia an apology. But it was only reasonable that Leia pay for what she had done

In the past, Ethan had caused Olivia to despair time and again just to defend Leia. As an outsider, Janice had no right to interfere.
It was because she knew that Ethan did this only to repent and vent his emotions. In the end, Ethan would still hold back reasonably for the sake of their relationship.
He had just lost the love of his life. If he didn’t vent his emotions, he might lose his mind.
Leia’s head was knocked against the tiles time and again. With every knock, people could hear the sound of bones being rammed against the floor.
Ethan’s eyes were red as if he had lost his wits.
Time and again, he thought that if he hadn’t been misguided by Leia at the start, he and Olivia wouldn’t have turned out like this.
Olivia wouldn’t have suffered so much either. Why would an innocent person have to endure all this?
Leia’s head was knocked against the ground nine times. But those nine knocks were done at full force. Leia’s forehead turned bloody, and she felt dizzy. Her whole face was pale, and she looked extremely weak.
Leia’s b*dy was already on the weak side, so she could barely hold on right then and there. Ethan’s vicious voice rang out. “Kneel here until the funeral is over.”
The people around them found it weird, but they dared not say anything.
People who came over to pay respects had odd looks on their faces when they saw Leia. They looked at the normal-looking woman who had a slender figure.
Ethan himself also knelt next to Leia.
That was the scene Keith and the Tuckers saw when they arrived.
Now, Ethan looked completely different from the image Keith had in his mind. By the looks of it, Olivia’s death had affected Ethan more severely than he had imagined.
But the things Ethan was going through were nothing compared to the suffering Olivia experienced. So, Keith still had a stern look on his face. He wasn’t sympathetic in the slightest.
“Mr. Miller, I’m here to see Olivia off.”
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 …
