Chapter 909
It would have been fine if Ethan hadn’t said that. But once he did, Olivia’s expression shifted.
“How long are you going to act selfishly under the pretense of doing it for my good?”
Olivia vented all her dissatisfaction.
“I loved you so much in the past, and I gave up everything for you. You have a mysterious job, and I didn’t ask you about it.
“I also never asked you where you went on your business trips. I thought that this was my way of loving you, but what became of me in the end?”
“Liv.” Ethan wanted to reach out and hold her hand, but Olivia dodged him.
“You know everything about me. When you’re happy, you’ll gladly spend a large sum to buy gifts for me, spoiling me to no end.
“But when you’re upset, you take everything back and deny me every chance of escape, putting me in hell.
“But what about me? From the beginning until now, other than knowing that you’re Ethan, what else do !
know?
“From the beginning, you loved me like you would love a pet. You thought this was for my good, and that
was good for me.
“But in the end, I turned out like this exactly because you were too self-righteous!”
Ethan silently gazed at the fuming Olivia. He didn’t realize that she had been so upset with him all this
while.
“Liv… I have reasons for doing that. The more people know about my identity, the more dangerous it will
“So, the Prescotts moved overseas many years ago. They did it to avoid getting involved in danger.”
He sighed. “Never mind. Now that things have come to this point, I’ll tell you everything you want to know.
My identity was leaked, anyway.
“Brent, reveal everything you’ve found out. There are no outsiders here, anyway.”
After getting his permission, Brent closed the door first. Then, he turned around and said to Olivia, “Mrs
Miller, the incident last night wasn’t targeted at you.
“Someone wanted to kill Mr. Miller, and you just happened to be involved in it.”
As expected, Olivia’s intuition was right. These people’s behavior was completely different from those of
the others back then.
“Who are they? How dare they do such things?”
“According to the intel I’ve gotten so far, these people belong to some local underground organizations.
“Our country is very strict in this aspect, so even if there are remaining members, they won’t dare to act so
boldly.”
Olivia asked, “Then why…”
Brent sighed.
“It started ten years ago. Back then, there were various foul organizations of all shapes and sizes in the
country, and many youngsters and families were their victims.
“You could always see them on the news, where families died a horrible death, jumped off buildings, and
committed suicide with gas.
“As soon as a family member got involved with it, they would only be dragged further into the abyss.
“Only a few minor subordinates were caught in each operation to defeat them, and when it blew over,
they would resume their activities.
“Their bosses were all in Shadow Valley, a district overseas. It’s a complicated place that is also the
largest crime trading center.
“Mr. Miller volunteered to be a spy in a criminal organization for many years. In the end, they were
captured along with their subgroups in our country.”
Olivia was startled when she heard that. She didn’t expect Ethan to have such experiences.
“Mrs. Miller, even from films and shows, you should be aware of how cruel those people are. Even if their
headquarters are destroyed, people like them will keep coming back.
“As long as people exist, there will always be benefits to be reaped.
“As soon as their remnants hear of Mr. Miller’s identity, not only Mr. Miller but also the people close to
him will be in danger.
“Why did Mr. Miller insist on keeping your marriage a secret? He didn’t want to expose you because he
wanted to protect you.”
As expected, the truth was always too heavy to bear. Olivia said sullenly, “Then, Marina…”
“Ms. Cariton is different from you. Mr. Miller only has gratitude toward her, not love.
“Never mind, he should tell you about his feelings. I’m an outsider, so I can’t explain it clearly.
*So, let’s continue where we left off.
“Mr. Miller did many similar things. He’s the best at disguising himself and working as a spy.
“He did things like getting top-secret intel from other countries and assassinating political figures.
“Out there, even his codename strikes fear in the hearts of those who hear it. So, do you understand now
why he was able to command warships as he pleased?
“Because all these military achievements were the glory he received in exchange for risking his life.
“But now, someone has exposed his identity.”
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 …
