Chapter 869
Keith sighed. “Alright, I give up. I’ll send you my account number in a bit. Take care of yourself.”
“Will do. Keith, thanks for your help in the past year,” Olivia said sincerely.
If not for him, she wouldn’t be able to get to where she was. She also wouldn’t have been reunited with
her daughter.
Compared to the life filled with despair that she previously led, she was already in a much better place.
Keith was at a loss for words. He didn’t know how to explain his situation. ‘You don’t have to thank me. I
didn’t do much. Anyway, stay safe out there.”
Keith’s palms were covered in sweat when he hung up.
Irene leaned over and asked, “How was it? Did Olivia get suspicious?”
“I don’t think so. After all, she probably doesn’t know who else could’ve helped her other than me.”
Irene sighed in resignation. “I feel bad about lying to Olivia. She’ll be so sad if she finds out we lied to her.
That damned Ethan. How did he find out Olivia was still alive?
“Thinking about it sends shivers down my spine. That man is too manipulative. He actually held a funeral
and kneeled before the grave for an entire day just to convince Olivia he thought she was dead. I don’t
know if it’s a good thing or not to be loved by such an obsessive man.”
“Love has always been a double-edged sword. In moderation, it brings happiness. If not, it’d be hell. It’s
our fault for failing to protect Olivia. Now, we can only do as he says.
Keith was dumbfounded when he received the call in the morning. He thought they had fooled everyone,
but Ethan had known about what they were doing all along.
“But he isn’t taking a forceful approach this time. I hope he has really learned his lesson and will treat
Olivia better.”
Keith sighed. “I hope so too.”
Then, he took out his phone to contact Ethan and tell him about Olivia’s demand.
Ethan was relatively courteous when he talked to Keith. He provided Keith with an account number. Then, he thanked him sincerely.
Irene sighed in relief and scratched her head. “So this is why everything has been going our way this year. My mom’s business has been doing very well. She received several large orders. I thought it was just pure

Keith also thought about his relatives who were in Arlandia. Especially his father, who had called him
several times recently. He seemed to be in high spirits.
Ethan was a great ally to have but a terrifying enemy to go up against.
At the moment, Keith and Irene’s hands were tied. They could only pray for Olivia’s safety.
Ethan was on an unnamed island near Aldenvine.
Other than to soothe Olivia’s emotions, there was another reason why Ethan left her side. He had a lot of
work that needed his attention. So, he was busy taking care of that.
Kelvin took off his mask. He had a bright smile on his face.
“I bet that man must have seen the state Cherno is in by now. The ship is completely worthless now. I
destroyed everything I could get my hands on,” Kelvin said..
“The boat’s value isn’t the most important thing. This incident has caused him to get on the bad side of
everyone on the ship. Some of them are bound to go after him.
“Even if he manages to get another ship up and running, the customers won’t trust him again. His
business is completely ruined.”
Kelvin smiled and said, “We spent a few hundred million dollars to cause billions in damages. It’s totally
worth it!
The most important thing is I don’t like that brat. He’s always plotting against you. This should humble
him a bit. I hope he learns his lesson.”
Ethan wasn’t as optimistic. He looked into the distance and said, “He’s not so weak that he would back
down with just this. He’ll definitely try to retaliate.
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 …
