Chapter 185
Jerry tried to block Olivia’s line of sight by standing in front of her. “Don’t look, Ms. Olivia.”
On the other hand, Tom burst out in curses, “I take back what I said about him. He betrayed his wife.
“He’s scum. Don’t look at a scum like him, Ms. Olivia. You don’t have to dirty your eyes by looking at him.”
Olivia’s heart ached for a bit.
Ethan was married to Marina. It didn’t change anything, even if Ethan held her captive and slept next to her every night.
Marina wanted to solidify her status. So, she planned for open shows of affection between her and Ethan.
She also showed up in public places with Ethan in tow.
She didn’t expect to see Olivia here and held Ethan’s arm tighter. It was her way of showing off her victory.
It was a simple strategy, but it was effective.
Ethan watched as Olivia brought Tom and Jerry to another area of the exhibit. He then withdrew his hand from Marina’s clutches.
In the past, he was still courteous to Marina. But now, he wasn’t even willing to keep up appearances with her.
Marina’s face twisted in hatred.
She said in a low voice, “Are you going to look for that bitch? Ethan Miller, do not forget that I am your fiancée now!”
Ethan lowered his face to look at Marina, who was throwing a tantrum. In the past, he complied with Marina’s wishes and respected her.
He had held their siblinghood and childhood friendship highly.
But now that Marina has shown her true colors to him, he couldn’t stand the sight of her.
“You wanted me to keep up appearances with you, and I did,” Ethan said coldly. There was no compa*sion for her in his eyes.
“Now, everyone thinks that we’re a loving couple.”
Marina watched as Ethan left. Her face contorted in anger, and hatred filled her heart.
She had a bad feeling.
Ethan seemed to hate Olivia less and less. His love for Olivia seemed to be growing.
She went to a corner angrily and dialed an unfamiliar number. She said, “I’ve considered your proposal. I accept.”
The voice over the phone said with a hint of joy, “You’re a smart woman, Ms. Carlton.”
Marina wasn’t able to tell if the voice came from a man or a woman.
“What do you want me to do?”
“You’ll need to endure a little suffering.”
“I don’t mind suffering a little if I can get Ethan back to me.” Marina’s eyes were filled with hatred.
She continued, “This time, I want her to lose completely.”
“As you wish, Ms. Carlton.” The voice said in an amused tone that sent chills down Marina’s spine.
The light cast a long shadow behind Olivia. It made her seem more isolated and lonely.
That was until she suddenly collided with someone. She raised her head and met Ethan’s gaze.
They were in a blind spot of the security cameras. No one noticed them.
Olivia moved away calmly.
She said in a flat tone, “You shouldn’t be here, Ethan. You’ll have to waste money on PR if we’re caught on camera.”
Even though she was looking out for him, her voice was unbelievably calm.
Ethan was unable to feel that she cared about him.
He suddenly realized that compared to the current composed Olivia, he preferred the Olivia of the past, who would get jealous.
“Is this what you are concerned about?” Ethan’s voice carried a hint of coldness.
Olivia was confused. She said, “The makings of a good mistress are obedience and not causing trouble for her man.”
Ethan tightened his hands on her shoulders. He said with a smirk, “Well, you sure know your place, mistress.”
Olivia felt a stab of pain in her heart.
“What else could it be? You’re getting engaged with Ms. Carlton.
“So what would our relationship be described in the olden times? Would I be a second wife? A concubine?
“We’ve got lots of names for that in the modern day, too! What should I address myself as? A lover, side chick, or mistress?
“Which do you prefer, Ethan?”
