Chapter 276
All eyes fell on Ethan after the person said that. Marina was still calling for help.Otto said coldly, "There's no need for hesitation. Tell her that you choose Marina." Chris patted Ethan on the shoulder. "Make your own decision. I won't blame you, no matter who you choose." The person in the panda suit displayed an hourglass on the screen and said, "You have one minute to consider your options. "If you don't make a choice when the time's up, I'll choose for you." The sand in the hourglass fell quickly. Time began to slip away. Ethan didn't speak. He looked at the two women quietly. Marina was still crying for help, while Olivia was utterly silent.Ethan was sad that Olivia didn't say anything to him.At least when Chloe was asked, Olivia had begged to be chosen. Ethan suddenly recalled the winter of last year. It was snowing heavily that night. Olivia and Ethan both fell into the ocean. The first thing that came to his mind was Kurt, who sacrificed himself to save h

Even Olivia, who had held no expectations, was shocked. She had expected Ethan to abandon her like he did before. The person in the panda suit didn't expect this answer either. It disrupted her original plan. Ethan pulled a knife out of nowhere. He looked at the camera and said calmly, "I don't know why you kidnapped them. But if someone needs to die today, let it be me. "Let them go. I'll kill myself.""Are you out of your mind, Ethan? Stop him!" Otto yelled angrily.Ethan remained expressionless and said, "Keep them away from me." Brent and Kelvin weren't the only ones who heeded his call. His four male secretaries also came out of the crowd and helped to keep Otto's men at bay.Ethan stood among the six men. He pointed the knife at his chest. "Ethan, what are you doing? Let Olivia die! She deserves to die." Marina was panicking. The person's tone changed slightly, "Don't try to fool me. Do you think I'd believe that you'll hurt yourself?""Is that right?" Ethan smi
Chapter 278
There was a lot of noise, but Olivia could still make out Ethan and Chloe's voices. She could feel the irony. Her mother wanted her dead, but the man she hated was willing to trade his life for hers.What expectations could she have for a mother like that? She used to sit at the entrance of her home and stare at the road Chloe drove off on. When she had a falling out with Ethan, she would do that too. She remembered that she would keep reheating the food that got cold and wait while sitting on the doorsteps.She would wait through the four seasons year by year, but the person she waited for never showed up. It was like her whole life was a joke. Olivia grunted and said slowly, "Mrs. Carlton, I don't want you in the next life. Even if there is a next life, I never want to cross paths with you again.""Liv, I don't have a choice. I really don't have a choice …"Chloe was crying profusely. She didn't want to make that choice, either. But she loved Chris so much that she cou

"Who the fuck said you could hurt her?" Before Olivia fell into the water, she could hear a man shouting over the loud ocean breeze. She wondered who the person was and if he was talking about her. Olivia grasped her knife tightly. It was her only chance at survival. She cut away all the ropes that bound her as soon as she was in the water. Through today's incident, she was able to confirm that the person was a woman and that the woman didn't want to hurt Ethan physically. Even Marina was a decoy. Olivia knew that she was the woman's only target. The woman wanted to torment her. But Olivia couldn't figure out how she brought such trouble onto herself. That woman was behind everything that happened to her and her family. Olivia couldn't accept that. Only one thought was going through her mind: she had to survive, even if she was beaten and bruised. Olivia wanted revenge, even if it meant she had to bring the woman down with her. She wanted her to have a taste of the

Olivia could almost feel the person's intent to kill. She was very meticulous and alert. Olivia knew she had to hide. The boat she got on was quite shabby, but it was large enough for her to hide in. Olivia figured the person couldn't search too thoroughly because they didn't bring many people here. She quickly snuck into the boat's cabin. The boat was partially submerged. The water within the boat was dirty. It smelled awful. Olivia knew she couldn't rely on anyone to save her this time. She could only save herself. No matter how hard the road ahead was, she no longer had the option to back out of it. She slowly walked toward the foul-smelling water. Soon after, she heard footsteps on the boat. Olivia pinched her nose and submerged herself in the water. She was in a blind spot. Her pursuers wouldn't see her if they didn't enter the water. Olivia's heartbeat quickened as she heard the footsteps getting louder. She hoped that the person searching wouldn't jump in

Olivia exited the water, holding back her fear and trying not to vomit. She looked at the body cautiously, hoping to find something that could identify the body. The clothes on the body were expensive. It was the high-end product of some luxury brand. The diamond earrings she had on glittered dimly under the light. There was also a sapphire ring on her finger. It looked like it would belong to some wealthy person's collection. Evidently, her murderer wasn't after money, or else her jewelry would've been gone. There also weren't any signs of sexual abuse on her clothes. There was a gunshot wound on her chest. The cause of her death was likely the shot to her chest. Olivia could tell that the body came from money. But she hadn't heard about any missing heiresses recently. She sighed helplessly. She decided to inform the authorities after she got out of there. She wanted the body to find her way back to her family. Olivia felt pity for the body. Olivia suddenly heard t

Olivia saw Ethan throwing a fit as she stood on the boat's deck. Ethan was like a lion that was out of control. It took several people to hold him back from jumping into the ocean. He only stopped after Kelvin and Brent worked together and injected him with some sedatives. Olivia watched from a distance. She barely even felt anything. She was even more unhinged than Ethan the time she found out her baby had passed. Olivia chose to sneak away while they were still looking for her body out at sea. She was determined to live, even if her body was sickly and battered. She could only exact revenge for herself and her dead child. She was very close to uncovering the person's identity. She didn't want to collapse so close to the finishing line. She had to see things through. Olivia was drenched in putrid water. Her palms were chafed by the ropes that bound her. There was a thin layer of scab on her palms that hurt with the slightest touch. Her stomach had been hurting all da

Olivia was hurt pretty badly. But luckily, there weren't any life-threatening conditions. She had no choice but to take time to recover at Colin's place. Unlike the peace within the Moriarty residence's walls, the outside world was in chaos. Ethan expended a lot of resources trying to find Olivia's body at sea. No stone was left unturned. He was getting so out of hand that he even wanted to surround the part of the ocean where Olivia fell in and drain the water. The money needed for that idea was only a minor problem. The main problem was that it would cause social uproar. The netizens began to make fun of Ethan."The last time so much effort was put into draining water was when they wanted to catch an alligator gar.""And they say Marina is his true love. The way I see it, Marina is nothing to Mr. Miller compared to his ex-wife.""It has been three days. Hasn't anyone dug up information about Mr. Miller's ex-wife?""It's not that no one tried to look her up. It's that
