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. She was an executive secretary during the day and a party queen at night.The brooch Olivia placed on Grace's table showed weird signs.

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
Chapter 229
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

Olivia didn't have a video. It was a mere trick to force Sophia into telling the truth.In fact, Sophia's mentality was not that strong enough as she ended up exposing Jackson.With the so-called video in Olivia's hands, Sophia would keep herself under the radar for a while.Furthermore, it was apparent that Jackson was another chess piece of that mastermind.Although Olviia didn't know who the mastermind was, there was one thing she was confident about—she came to the right place.The mastermind should be hiding within Miller Group.

Olivia never once had the chance to display her affection for Ethan like Marina did.He gave Olivia love, yet he gave Marina the dignity as Mrs. Miller.Olivia silently took her leave from the crowd.The afternoon sun was scorching. The initials on the wedding invitation were a pain to her eyes.The illustration of the couple on it was dressed in a wedding gown and suit.They held hands and kissed under the rain of cherry blossoms, which formed such a romantic sight.In fact, Olivia had personally drawn a few designs for her wedding invitation card.When she showed them to Ethan excitedly, he didn't express much joy.He had only caressed her head and said softly, "Sorry, Olivia. I don't plan on holding a wedding. So, the wedding invitation cards …""Why?" she asked gingerly."You know my identity. It's inconvenient." His simple reply dashed all anticipation.Olivia thought about the masked man, who had saved her during her trip.The metallic smell of blood from his stained

In the past, Olivia would've checked Ethan's injury or given him a massage on the head immediately.However, she didn't do the same today.Even though their divorce was the result of a scheme and Jeff's hospitalization had nothing to do with Ethan, everything was in the past.She needed to get used to a life without him.Olivia stood right where she was respectfully and said in a calm manner, "Mr. Miller, I brought the proposal."He didn't open his eyes as he furrowed his brows. "Come here."She came to his side. "If you're tired, I can read the proposal for you."In the past, she would read the documents for him whenever he was exhausted.After he told her his decision, she would proceed with the following step.Opening his eyes, Ethan pulled her into his embrace.She shrieked. The angry man who told her to scram last night was making his advance all of a sudden.The papers scattered on the floor, and her hands rested against his built chest.At this time, Marina should be

Olivia and Ethan's relationship turned more complicated than before. She didn't know what was on his mind.One moment, he would cling to her; the next, he would demand her to leave.Still, she was aware that now was not the time to strain things with him.She had a hunch that the mastermind intended to chase her out of Miller Group by catastrophizing the matter.After all, the photos couldn't prove that there was something else going on between Olivia and Elijah.It could only ruin her reputation and gain Marina's attention at most.If Olivia's guess was right, Marina showed up at Miller Group because of those photos.As long as Ethan wanted to avoid misunderstandings, it would take a word from Marina to drive Olivia out of here.The mastermind must've noticed that Olivia was looking into the case.Hence, he was using Marina to make Olivia stay away from Miller Group.Now, Ethan was the only savior she could ask for help from.She drew circles on his chest with a grim expr
