Chapter 235
Marina reflexively wanted to ask Ethan if it was Olivia, but she held herself back.Now that they were going to register their marriage soon, she didn't want anything to happen that could possibly delay the event any further.She decided to buy it, believing that he accidentally bit his lip.Even if Olivia had something to do with this, she didn't want to mention Olivia's name in front of him.Marina noticed that he had been acting out of character these days.In the past, he didn't hide the resentment in his eyes whenever Olivia's name was brought up.However, it seemed like his feelings for her had changed in the past few months. He cared about her again.Ethan and Marina hadn't registered their marriage as of now.Because of that, she didn't want to have a fight with him over this kind of matter."It's a slip of the tongue. Oh, I baked these muffins myself. Try them." She placed the muffins on his desk.Ethan looked at them. He knew that Olivia used to make the same muffin

Marina, who could read the room very well, noticed Ethan's displeasure.She said, "I see. I didn't know about that."He was too lazy to explain it further as he said, "Stephanie, you may do your job.""Okay, Mr. Miller."While Stephanie was doing the cleaning, Marina was observing her. Considering Stephanie's old age, Marina supposed that it was nearly impossible for Ethan to have an affair with Stephanie.As an afterthought, she began scrolling through her phone.Meanwhile, Olivia's blood was boiling as she thought, "Forget about letting Marina stay, why did he let the janitor clean the room? Is he trying to have me get caught red-handed?"Still, she found it weird that Stephanie would choose to do the cleaning at this hour.She tried to observe Stephanie, but the latter had her back facing her. It was weird that Stephanie was wearing a bucket hat since they were indoors.When Stephanie was going to wipe the bookshelf after wiping the window, Olivia got anxious.She migh

Olivia barely survived a crisis, yet she was in the lion's den again.She saw the proposal from the corner of her eyes and took it. "I know you're in a hurry, but calm yourself down, please. My colleagues are waiting for a reply from you."Ethan noticed the frantic in her eyes, knowing that she didn't want to pay the price for her deed.After heaving a long sigh, he released Olivia. Jumping off the desk, she stood beside him.She dared not breathe heavily as she tried to calm herself. She passed him the proposal. "Take a look."Ethan's gaze swept across the document before landing on her face again. "Do you still want to stay in Miller Group for a month?""Yes." She nodded."I don't pay useless people. You'll be handling this project."She was stunned. "Are you trying to make me a public enemy?""You already are. Handling this project won't make a difference."Olivia couldn't see through his intention. She took the proposal. "The proposal—""As I've said, I'll leave it t

Soon, the whole department heard of Olivia getting slapped. Considering that Ethan had given her total control of the project, this was unexpected.Any smart person would've noticed that something was off. Everyone knew that Brent had gotten Olivia in.By the looks of it, the force behind Olivia wasn't Brent but Ethan instead.When they realized that, the members of Team C were terrified.It was no wonder that Olivia was so arrogant and never respected anyone. It now made sense for Ethan to request for her specifically to deliver the proposal.The company even issued a warning because of the photo incident.There was an explanation for everything now. The force backing Olivia was the almighty Ethan!It didn't matter if she were Ethan's lover; the most Marina could do was slap Olivia.For a moment, everyone was anxious. None of them dared to snatch any projects away from her. They were scrambling to gain her favor instead.Respectfully, Norma placed the strawberry milkshake Oli

As Brent looked at the micro tracker on the desk, his face turned pale."H-How could this be? What is Mrs. Miller trying to do?"Picking up the tracker, Ethan stuffed it back into the clip. "Give it back to William. Don't tell anyone about this.""Understood, Mr. Miller."Ethan fiddled with his tie clip. Ever since Olivia requested to be his assistant, he had been suspecting her.Judging by Olivia's personality, she would try to get as far away from him as possible. It didn't make sense for her to stay by his side.Unless she was trying to get something from him.Was it money?She could donate 500 million dollars without batting an eye. She obviously didn't lack money.The only other reason would be Jeff.He remembered her hesitant behavior the other day. "Did she figure something out?" he wondered.Noticing that Ethan had stayed silent, Brent couldn't see through Ethan's thoughts either. He asked carefully, "So, about Mrs. Miller …""Don't do anything yet, in case she's al

Olivia sighed in relief. It was just Ethan."What is he doing here instead of going home to spend time with Marina?" she wondered.She said, "What a coincidence, Mr. Miller."Ethan studied her from head to toe with a calm expression. "I'm waiting for you."Olivia had a feeling that there was something off about Ethan. The light from the lighter flame bounced off his face. Half of his face was lit, while the other half was covered in darkness. Olivia thought his face looked like a mix of an angel and a demon."Waiting for me?" Olivia swallowed. She was a little wary of the coldness coming from him.He didn't say anything and started walking instead.Olivia didn't know what he was thinking, so she simply followed behind him. They got into the elevator, which brought them up to the top floor.The wind was howling on the rooftop. It was already spring, but the night breeze was still quite cold. It was as cold as Ethan's figure.Olivia couldn't help but shrink back a little. "Is

Surprisingly, Ethan wasn't mad. Instead, he tossed away the cigarette in his hand.Olivia was about to leave, but he didn't stop her. His voice rang coldly in the air. "Olivia, you'd better not be lying."He stared straight at Olivia, who was leaving. He thought that she would come back, but she didn't even turn around.The wind put out the last bits of ember from the cigarette stub. Olivia was already gone from the rooftop.Ethan looked up at the night sky above him. Heavy clouds covered the sky, so only a few stars could be seen."What exactly is Olivia hiding?" he wondered.He thought of her words that day. If Jeff wasn't the one who killed Leia, then who could it be?"Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller has been gone for a while now." Standing in the dark, Brent looked just like Ethan's shadow.Ethan heaved a long sigh. "Brent, I want to reinvestigate Leia's incident.""Is it for Mrs. Miller's sake?" Brent couldn't understand.The incident was already set in stone, and it was also Et

After getting home, Olivia checked on the trackers again. The one that had gone into the landfill had disappeared from the display. But the others hadn't changed much from before.Jack's phone was still turned off. Olivia sighed.She was getting closer to the truth, but the path ahead was covered in fog. No matter how hard she tried to clear things up, nothing changed.Fortunately, the project was progressing smoothly. Her proposal passed the other company's screening, and they would have a meeting with her soon.Donned in a formal outfit, her palms were sweating a little.Opening the door, she smiled politely. "Hello, I'm Olivia Fordham from Miller Group."A youth in a white suit sat at the table. His features were exquisite, and there was a smile on his face. "We meet again, Olivia."Olivia was stunned. "Colin."She finally realized what this meant. "So you're Mr. Moriarty, the general manager of Peak Group?""Yes. I just took over the business from my father." Colin shrugge
