Chapter 223
Ethan traced her brows with the tip of his fingers. His dark pupils were like a deep abyss.They feel as if they would engulf her completely."What if I say I want you back now?" Ethan asked.Olivia replied without hesitation, "It's too late now."She turned away from Ethan and pointed to the scenery beneath them. She said, "You were the one who shoved me in the past down from here. You shattered everything. Including all my love and desire for you."Ethan's hands tightened around her waist. She was then pushed against the glass. He looked at her clean and pearly face. His voice was deep and icy, threatening even. "I don't care where your heart lies. All I want is you in the flesh." Ethan was like an arrogant emperor who held the life and death of his subjects in the palm of his hand. And she was like an ant before him. He only had to put his foot down to destroy her. Even his voice was filled with arrogance. "See, your willingness doesn't matter. Whatever I want to do will be

The pent-up anger overwhelmed Olivia as she glared at Ethan. "It's not like I'm your only woman. "Why does it have to be me? Marina is just right downstairs. Should I call her over?""It's because you're the only one for me!" he said aloud in his head.However, that answer was buried deep in his heart. He tightened his grasp around her waist, inhaling a deep breath.He said, "Must you put up a fight with me over this kind of matter?"Olivia barely suppressed the urge to tell him how much he disgusted her. She was aware that their relationship was as rigid as ever. Thus, she needed to keep her emotions under control.Confronting him recklessly wouldn't do her good.As an afterthought, she decided to compromise. She lowered her head. "I just … can't get used to it."Taking a step back, as she had expected, never failed to work wonders whenever facing Ethan.He watched her exposed nape. It was as if a kitty was revealing its weakness. It managed to appease his anger a little

Ethan's gaze made Olivia's skin crawl. She coughed lightly. "I saw a janitor in your office yesterday."He thought she was going to say something fluttering, but she mentioned an outsider."Olivia Fordham, are you suspecting that I'm having an affair with a janitor?" Fury seeped into his voice."What are you thinking about? I'm just curious why someone is cleaning your office during office hours. It's an important place."He replied without much thought. "Stephanie lives far from here, so she clocks off early. She cleans my office early at times when I'm working."What's the matter? You don't care about Marina, but now you care about a janitor?""Since when did Miller Group provide such good employee welfare?"Ethan was cutting his steak into pieces as he answered indifferently, "Stephanie is different. She saved my life before. It won't hurt to provide her some perks.""When? How come I didn't know about it?" Olivia put her cutleries down."Are you worried about me?" A smile
Chapter 226
Alarmed, Olivia hurriedly explained, "I noticed some loopholes after reading those documents. "That info isn't sufficient enough to prove that my father murdered your sister. There is no evidence or witness. It's just a speculation of my father's motive."Ethan shoved the plates off the table.The warmth on his face gave way to coldness. He seemed to be the man he was from three months ago.Before Olivia could explain her stance further, he stood up and looked at her intimidatingly."Firstly, a DNA test was done on that body. It was my sister. "Secondly, I've done another DNA test between the baby in her womb and your father. They were genetically related."Thirdly, I've looked into what happened to Leia before her death. "Be it her contact history or other records. Jeff was the person she contacted the most."Lastly, the final person she met was Jeff, too. Who else could it be other than him?"If you're demanding a witness, are you going to ask for a medical miracle so th

Olivia returned home with her anger unappeased. She turned on her laptop to check on the trackers.It was the trackers she gifted to the six secretaries.Four of them were currently at the Golden Hall Apartment. She was aware that it was an accommodation arranged for the higher-ups.Nancy was currently in a bar. It suited her character well.

Olivia turned her head to look at the incoming person. It was Clara Foster, the leader of Team B.She seemed angry.Her team members lowered their heads as soon as they saw her. "Ms. Foster."Her cold gaze swept across them. "Have you finished your job? Is the proposal approved?""No.""Well, get back to your work then.""Yes, Ms. Foster." They ran away without looking back.Clara looked at Olivia, smiling mockingly. "There are a lot of ways to get to higher positions, young lady."There's no need to choose the hardest way. "Even if you're able to get high up there with it, you're the one in trouble when someone kicks you off the top."Now that things had gone this far, explanations wouldn't help either. Olivia figured that she might as well accept it. "Thank you for the reminder, Ms. Foster."Something was off. Even if Team C managed to get the deal, why was everyone slandering her?Since she was still a newcomer, no one would tell her, even if there was a rumor circula

Sophia had seen Olivia as a fearless newcomer. She didn't expect Olivia to be a fox that had made early preparations to counter the problem."Olivia, I accidentally sent the photos in the group chat. I didn't expect things to be out of control."How about this? I'll credit you for this project's performance." She tried to appease Olivia.In fact, Olivia was actually trying to trick Sophia into telling the truth because she believed that this was a plot of that mastermind.Like a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness, the mastermind had been keeping an eye on her actions.Olivia snorted. "Do you think that I lack that credit?""What do you want? It has gotten out of control. It's too late for me to retrieve the photos.""What are the other photos you have?" Compared to this, Olivia was more concerned if Sophia had taken a photo of her and Ethan together.Sophia sighed. "What more could I have? These are the only photos I took. If there were others, I would've shared them as well
