Chapter 114
Olivia knew who it was without taking a look at the man.Ethan was wearing a suit that perfectly outlined his built figure. The glint in his eyes was dangerous, as always.She could recognize him through his sharp jaw alone, too.His cedar scent wafted her nose, creating an intimate atmosphere in the back seat.She stifled the urge to shove him away for her big plans. She broke the silence first. "Where have you been?"Now that she had gotten over him, she showed no interest in his life.She wouldn't take notice of his social media updates nor check his Twitter account repeatedly, let alone click his profile picture again and again.Had Ethan not informed her to pick him up from the airport, she wouldn't have known that he had been abroad."Work." It was a succinct answer.He wanted to talk about Leo, but it would ruin the atmosphere.Olivia was sitting on his lap. Her body was warming his thighs.In addition to the closed space, their intimate posture was a fluttering sce

Her eyes met Ethan's deep gaze. A faint light shone on his face. It cast a glow on half his face while the other half was shrouded in shadow. It reflected his conflicting personality. He could be an angel sometimes. But he could also be a demon. Olivia was not sure if he would agree to her request. It was his child's first birthday party, after all. His child, which he had with another woman. Their engagement party was postponed. But Marina brought the birthday party forward to announce her status and identity to the world. She had already sent out invitations to every rich and powerful person long ago. She wanted everyone to know. It was apparent that the ex-wife would not be welcomed at the party. Ethan did not say anything. But his naturally prideful temperament made her more nervous than ever. She didn't even realize that sweat was seeping out of her clenched fists. He looked at her seriously and said, "Fine." Her whole body relaxed after she got a positi

Ethan placed his hands on both sides of her. He leaned in slightly and trapped her.He loved the feeling of being in control of others. And Olivia was like his prey with nowhere to run. He looked down at her with an aggressive look. He lifted her chin with one of his hands and kissed her. "If you have any complaints, suck it up." He was a tyrant, emotionless and unhinged. Suddenly, Olivia noticed a blood stain on his left arm. The stain was slowly growing larger on his shirt. She finally found an excuse to stop this. She quickly pushed him back and said, "You're hurt." Ethan subconsciously tried to hide from her prying gaze. "It's nothing, just a scratch." "You're bleeding so much. There's no way that's a small wound."You must've broken some stitches. We need to get it bandaged now." He raised his eyebrows. "You do it," he said.She didn't mind helping him bandage his wound. It was better than having sex with him. She was able to hold him off from having sex wit

Calista was still discontent. She hated the fact that Olivia became the center of attention wherever she went. Calvin walked up to Olivia and said, "Hey! Fancy seeing you at these types of events.""Hey, Calvin," Olivia responded courteously. "I didn't like events like these in the past. And after the Fordhams went bankrupt, I never got the chance to come to one." "You could spend 500 million dollars like it was nothing. If you don't even get to go to events like this, I think most people on this ship haven't either.." Calvin knew about her relationship with Ethan, but he kept it to himself. He only winked at her in secret. It would seem like he found something on the security cameras back then. Olivia had an idea of what it was. Before Olivia could say anything, Calista said in a mocking tone, "Didn't I tell you, Calvin? Olivia would at least get with a rich old man. She has the looks for it. "Olivia, I haven't heard about the passing of any rich old man, though. Counti

"What did you call me?" Chloe looked at Olivia in disbelief. "Mrs. Carlton, did you forget that you divorced my father years ago?"Your husband is now Mr. Carlton. Am I mistaken to call you Mrs. Carlton?"This was the first time Olivia had been so cold to Chloe. Even during the time Chloe met her after she came back from overseas, Olivia had been gentle.Now, it was as if she was a cold and sharpened blade. "Liv, you've changed. How can you say that? I am still your mother, after all.""Yes, I've changed. I've only come to realize that humans are despicable and that human nature is ugly and selfish. "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been missing my mother all those years. I wouldn't have spent years waiting for someone who would never return." "Liv, I know I've let you down. But now that I'm back, I'll do everything in my power to make it up to you."Olivia gazed at Chloe's face. She didn't remember how Chloe looked when she was still a child. She looked la

His description jolted Olivia's memory. She had met many people with weird habits. One of Ethan's friends was a health nut. While everyone else drank Absinthe on ice, he would be drinking detox blends in his cold cup. When other people were having fun with pretty ladies, he would be wearing an eye mask and having a footbath. He would also mutter, "If you don't take care of your health now, you'll be suffering from illnesses when you get older." Colin was the weirdest person she knew other than that health nut. He was morbidly afraid of furry animals with sharp teeth. He used to follow Micheal to Jeff's birthday parties. But he would always be chased up a tree by Olivia's cat, Snowball. A group of children would laugh at him from below. Only Olivia would help him by grabbing Snowball. She would then coax him with a smile. "Don't be afraid, I have him now. Give me your hand. I'll help you down." "Oh, it's you. Are you still afraid of cats?" The memory of that incident b

"Shut up," Ethan said. "Ethan, we're the most compatible with each other. Olivia only loves your money. She can get with anyone as long as the price is right." Ethan ignored her and left. Marina was angry. She walked toward the other side of the hall with her wine in hand. She whispered something into Calista's ears. Calista was all talk. She had never actually hurt anyone before.She had a nervous expression and said, "Are … are we really doing this?" Marina smiled and said, "I have always trusted you, Calista. I believe you're destined to do great things. "If you can take care of this for me, I can promise you that there will be something for the Davieses at the Oakland Hospital." "I will not let you down, Marina." Marina smiled with satisfaction. This was reality. People would do anything to satiate their greed."Olivia, how are you going to fight me with neither the resources nor anyone to back you up?" Marina thought to herself. Olivia sat with Colin for a wh

Colin did not know how to respond. Although Olivia was talking about Snowball, Colin had the feeling that she was talking about her own funeral instead. "I've got it, Olivia.""It has to be the tallest tree in the yard. That tree blooms with branches full of plum blossoms in the winter. "The scent of the flowers goes well with the cold white snow. I'll be waiting for her there." No one would have guessed that she meant she would be waiting there after she was dead. "Okay, but you can also visit Snowball when you are free." Olivia took off her diamond earrings and handed them to Colin. "I came out in a rush today and don't have anything on me. "But please hand these earrings to Snowball. She has always loved shiny little trinkets since she was a kitten." " … Okay. If you're too busy, I can also bring her to you if you give me an address. I bet she'll be delighted to see you." "No need." Olivia was running out of time. Ethan arrived just in time to see Colin pulling Ol
