Chapter 180
Olivia thought that the secretaries would be her suspects if the person who manipulated her life was indeed hiding close to Ethan. Olivia was observing their expressions to see if they would reveal their true colors. But they were calm and composed. They greeted her and went back to work. Olivia touched her wrist. Was she wrong about that? She decided not to rush things. She decided to probe Grace first. She was the most recently recruited secretary other than herself. Olivia moved next to Grace. Grace's attitude towards her wasn't particularly friendly. But she also didn't look down on her. Olivia spent nearly two hours next to all the secretaries. She wasn't able to find anything suspicious about them.Brent allowed them to go home after they did overtime until 9:00 pm. Nancy was full of smiles as soon as she got off work. She massaged her back and started to call her friends. It seemed like she was headed to a bar and was asking someone to save her a seat. She saw

Olivia raised the notebook in her hand. The notebook recorded all of Ethan's preferences. "I haven't finished memorizing it yet. Mr. Miller takes his coffee with three cubes of sugar. He likes his steak rare. His favorite fruits are cherries and blueberries …"Olivia shut the notebook. She looked at Ethan seriously, "I seem to recall that you hated those fruits the most. You only eat medium-rare steaks, and you never put any sugar in your coffee."If William hadn't reminded her not to get anything wrong, she would have thought that someone was setting her up for failure at the workplace. The list of preferences was the complete opposite of what Ethan actually liked. Ethan took the notebook from her hands and said, "You don't have to care about that." Ethan did not like people knowing about his preference. No one knew about his actual preferences except Olivia. "You need only do as you're told." The light from the laptop's screen shone on Ethan's face. It made his expression look

Ethan saw the color drain from Olivia's face when he walked in. She looked very pale and unwell, even to the untrained eyes. Her hands were also shaking slightly. He frowned and quickly walked toward her."What are you looking at?"Olivia did not try to hide it. Ethan saw the horrible accident. The scene was bloody. It was no wonder she looked pale. "There's nothing to see here." Ethan thought she accidentally came across the video.He was about to turn it off before he realized something was wrong. That wasn't a recent accident. Olivia turned her phone off and asked with a seemingly casual tone, "So, you were at the scene of my father's accident?"Ethan did not know that this was the reason she wanted to harm Connor before. So when she suddenly brought it up, he looked her in the eyes and said, "Yes."I was headed for the G20 Summit that day. But there was an accident on the road, so I changed course. But I didn't expect to get to the scene of your father's accident."It was like
Chapter 183
The idea flashed through her mind momentarily. But Ethan's scornful face quickly filled her thoughts. She knew that Ethan could take her words as she was trying to get her father off the hook. He had already mocked her countless times for her schemes. Moreover, if she told him what she knew before uncovering the truth, it might alert the mastermind and force him to switch things up. So, she suppressed her urge to tell Ethan what she knew. In reality, the existence of a mastermind wouldn't have affected their relationship. It was the fact that Ethan had an affair. Olivia was more composed than she used to be. She responded with a muffled sound. Olivia's mind was clearer than it ever was after she got the reply she wanted. She clutched Ethan's clothes tightly. Uncovering the truth had become her only reason to be alive. "Thank you for calling the ambulance.""There is no need to look at something that happened so long ago. Let's go to bed."Ethan thought that Olivia

Jack agreed to Olivia's request without any hesitation. Tom and Jerry spent a long time catching up with Olivia. "Ms. Olivia, Jack left the island shortly after you did. He should have come to Aldenvine. "If you need his help, you can contact him in private.""Do you guys know his background?" Olivia felt that Jack was very mysterious. He was a man who owned a lot of firearms. And she still doesn't know what he looked like. The information that Calvin dug up was definitely going to be limited. Jack was different. He might have special channels to gather more information. In addition, Jack was a mysterious entity. The mastermind would not know about his existence. "Jack washed up on our shores a few years ago. He was on the brink of death when he arrived. Mom saved his life. "He didn't seem to have any family, so he stayed on our island. But I think he might be an incredible person. His marksmanship is excellent." Tom scratched his head in embarrassment at the menti

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 w

Even though Olivia was being so docile, he felt a sense of unexplainable mystery to her. That caused him to feel uneasy. It would have been in his nature to hold her captive by his side after he brought her back from the island. But he suppressed his desire to do that. Instead, he gave her freedom and fulfilled her wishes. He even took extra care of Tom and Jerry.He thought that if he did so much for her, she would be so happy that her eyes lit up. In reality, she was calm. There were no emotions in her eyes. No matter how much he did for her, it didn't stir her emotions even a little. Olivia's calm face was reflected in his icy gaze. "Olivia, enough is enough."Ethan's voice was filled with uncontrollable anger. "Even if I marry her, it would not affect your position at all."His words sounded like he was doing her a favor. Olivia smiled. The mockery in her smile was apparent. "She already has the position of Mrs. Miller. What else do I have to give?"Before Eth

There was barely any light in the cabinet. Olivia was trembling in fear. She would not have come if she knew how scary it was.A familiar voice suddenly started laughing softly next to her. The person was amused by her fear. The voice resembled someone she knew. At that moment, a prop lamp was turned on. Eerie green light shone on his deathly pale face. Olivia was about to scream, then the voice said, "It's me."Olivia paused and swallowed nervously. She called out his name carefully, "Jack?" "Yeah." The usually reserved man's voice had a hint of joy. "I'm sorry we have to meet this way. I didn't know you were so easily scared."The truth was he had no intention of scaring Olivia. He dressed up as a ghost so that he could evade the bodyguards.He didn't expect to be grabbed and dragged along by Olivia before he could speak. Olivia patted herself on the chest and said, "You scared me to death."Jack has never seen Olivia so frightened, not even when he had a knife ag
