Chapter 280
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

In recent days, Chloe wasn't the only one suffering. Ethan wasn't doing any better. He barely ate or drank anything, nor did he rest or sleep. He was very tightly wound. The search for Olivia was constantly on his mind. It pained Kelvin to see Ethan in such a weakened state. "Mr Miller, you should at least eat something. Your body won't be able to hold out at this rate." Ethan's throat was parched, and his lips were chapped. Brent hurriedly got him a cup of tea. Ethan was only barely able to speak after downing a cup of warm tea, but his voice was still hoarse. "The thing I had you investigate?" "The surveillance on the elevator was already destroyed when we got there. There isn't any useful footage. "But we uncovered their link with an international organization through their kidnapping of Ms. Carlton.""What organization?""The Toxic Hive."Ethan put a cigarette to his lips out of habit and tried to light it up with his lighter. But his fingers were shaking uncon

Brent was relieved to see some spark in Ethan's eyes. He quickly continued, "That's true. Mrs. Miller is a pacifist. She wouldn't ask you to avenge her otherwise."Ethan frowned at the reminder. He recalled Olivia trying to tell him something but never actually speaking up. "What she wanted me to investigate wasn't only The Toxic Hive. She also wanted me to look into the incident with Jeff and my sister."Ethan remembered that Olivia had visited the Miller residence before the kidnapping. She probably knew something was wrong. It was like the spy cameras planting in Ethan's office. It was clear someone had been plotting against him for some time. But this concerned his taboo. It was something he didn't allow anyone to bring up, not even Olivia.That was why Olivia had to risk everything and investigate by herself to find the truth. "Mr. Miller, do we need to look into Ms. Leia's incident?" Brent asked cautiously. Ethan looked up into the sky and stared at the dimly lit s

Ethan slammed the spoon he held onto the table and shouted, "What do you mean he has been taken?" Kelvin urgently said, "Mrs. Miller had dispatched extra guards to watch over Mr. Fordham about two weeks ago. "I didn't really concern myself with it, but it would seem like she knew someone would go after Mr. Fordham. "There were already two groups of people in a gunfight when we arrived. Some nurses were injured in the crossfire. The hospital has temporarily stopped the news from spreading. "Where is Jeff?""One of the groups took him. From my initial calculations, there were four different groups, including us."Excluding Olivia's hired muscle and Ethan's men, another group would be The Toxic Hive. But the fourth group was unknown. It was uncertain which group took Jeff. Ethan noticed that Kelvin's voice sounded a little feeble. He knew something was wrong. "Are you hurt?" Kelvin was holding his own arm tightly. Blood was seeping from his palm. He gritted his teeth a

The caregiver didn't expect to meet Ethan under such circumstances. Ethan was taken aback but didn't deny, "Yes."The caregiver thought about her words. She didn't want to risk causing trouble for Olivia. She explained anxiously, "Ms. Fordham didn't tell me. I just took a wild guess. "The incident at your engagement ceremony was all over the internet. Even though Ms. Fordham was blindfolded, I recognized her immediately."The caregiver suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Have you found her yet?" Ethan didn't want to talk about that with her. "Nothing will happen to her.""That's right. Ms. Fordham is such a lovely person. She'll get through this."The caregiver wiped her tears and said, "Mr. Miller, feel free to ask any questions. I'll tell you everything I know about Ms. Fordham."Ethan had so many things he wanted to say, but nothing came out. It was like he had lost his voice. "Did she ever talk about me?" Ethan opened with a question that he cared about the most.
