Chapter 356
Ethan said slowly, "You were friends with him? Why haven't you told me about that? How else are you related to him?"Anger flared in Ethan's eyes. Olivia was upset. "Are you and Marina the only ones allowed to be childhood friends? Why can't I be childhood friends with Colin? I didn't tell you about that because I didn't see the need to. "He was just a playmate. Just because you have malicious intent doesn't mean he's the same."Smirking, Ethan said, "You think I'm malicious and he's good?"The mocking smile made Olivia feel uncomfortable. But with everything said, Olivia retorted stubbornly, "Am I wrong? You cheated on me while you were married to me, and you even have kids with her. If you're not the bad guy here, no one else would be."Ethan started to breathe heavily from the rage he felt. "Olivia, do you even know what kind of person he is? And what he has done?""What could he possibly do?" Olivia recalled her phone call to Colin that didn't go through and the fact that

Olivia was rendered speechless. In such a situation, Colin would've died if he had drawn his firearm too late. No one would've been using a melee weapon. Colin didn't tell her anything about what went down. He casually summed up what happened in a single sentence. Looking at the footage and thinking about Colin's innocent face, Olivia felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't expect the man she trusted to be so ruthless. "If he wasn't hurt from that incident, where did the wound come from?"Ethan held Olivia's chin in place with his finger. "Liv, do you really not know why he did that? Hasn't he always been the innocent, gentle, and caring young man in your eyes? If he got hurt for your sake, wouldn't you feel guilt and remorse?"Olivia blinked, but she wasn't able to deny what Ethan said. He continued, "Just because he's young, it doesn't mean he's not manipulative. If I hadn't utilized extraordinary means, he would've gotten you out of the country. I wouldn't have been

There were signs before that Olivia had failed to pick up on. Like the time Colin asked to visit Jeff. He looked at all of the data and even performed a check on him. Colin looked serious back then. It was an expression she had never seen on him before. Ethan saw Olivia's upset expression and hugged her. "Liv, it's not like that. I want to protect you. I don't want to see you get hurt ever again."Raising her teary eyes to look at him, she said, "But … you're the one who hurt me the most. Don't you think your words are absurd?"Colin might have lied to me, but you're no saint either. So don't be calling the kettle black now. You have no right to say you'll keep me from getting hurt." Olivia escaped his embrace and said, "Thanks for telling me everything.""Stop throwing a fit with me, Liv. Even though we took down Toxic Hive's base, all the important people in the organization took off. It's dangerous for you out there."Olivia looked him in the eye seriously. Wiping her tear

"It's simple. They want to test out the drugs they made."Ethan felt a little cranky and subconsciously reached for his cigarettes. Upon realizing that Olivia was still here, he stopped going for his cigarettes. He rubbed his nose awkwardly as he continued, "Some research is forbidden in every country, even for the World Health Organization. These research and experiments are usually inhumane and rejected by society. "But these things brought some of the most extreme researchers together. Toxic Hive is a paradise for them. They can do their research however they want and don't have to think about their impact on others. Their only goals in life are to complete the research that they want to do."Olivia asked, "So they won't care even if their research harms society?""That's right. If there isn't anyone to test out the drugs they made, they'll release them into crowds of people and let those people become the test subjects for their drugs. They'll observe from afar and record th

Olivia decided to stay at Ethan's side for the time being. One of the reasons she did that was because he had the means to protect her. The other was that Leia hated her. If she left, Leia would stop coming after her. She wanted to use Ethan to lure Leia out. She didn't tell Ethan that Colin was Leo yet. The current situation was still unclear. She had to keep an ace up her sleeve. She was sure that Jeff was safe in Colin's hands. She still needed him to operate on Jeff, so she didn't want to anger him. Olivia had slept through the day, so she didn't feel sleepy at night. She still couldn't get through to Colin's phone. Olivia pretended not to know his identity and sent him several messages. Other than him, Jack was also nowhere to be found. She went to get some water at 2:30 am. She saw that the lights were still on in Ethan's study. It seemed that he wasn't sleeping either. In the past, she would prepare some late-night snacks for him so that he wouldn't have to work on

Marina was the one who kicked the door open. She approached Olivia with an angry expression. Raising her hand, she was about to slap Olivia. "You bitch, why are you always lurking around?"Chris grabbed Marina's hand. He was utterly disappointed in Marina. He didn't mind if she wasn't brilliant, and he didn't need her to be obedient either. But she shouldn't be rotten. Chloe was on the verge of death before her, and she wasn't nervous in the slightest. She even attacked Chloe. Now, here she was, trying to slap Olivia for no good reason. Chris didn't understand how his daughter had become so hateful. "Stop this nonsense at once, Marina. Didn't I tell you not to come here anymore?" Chris' words stirred Marina's anger even more. "Last time, it was that old bitch. This time, it's the young bitch. Don't forget that I'm your daughter, not her."Chris struck Marina with a resounding slap. She didn't expect to be slapped. She didn't even do anything but talk. "All these years,

Marina was devastated. She had been thinking about her actions the past few days and realized she had crossed the line. She almost killed Chloe. She specifically went to get a fruit basket to apologize to Chloe. But she didn't expect to hear what Chris said the moment she arrived. She didn't get to apologize and had yet another argument with Chris. Marina felt aggrieved as tears fell onto the back of her hand. Ethan was no longer patient with her like he used to be. Ethan's tolerance for her due to Kurt's sacrifice was running out. He couldn't even stand the sight of her anymore. He promised to marry her, but he delayed getting their marriage registered time and again. Marina knew that some things could never return to how they were. Ethan would never love her again. Even her father had stopped trusting her like he used to. All she saw in his eyes was disappointment. She used to get everything she wanted. She couldn't understand why things turned out like this. Marina had n

Otto's words shook Marina. He patted her shoulder and said, "There's no need to be afraid. I have killed plenty of people on the battlefield. I wouldn't be resorting to such methods if your father had listened to me and had a baby. He's too crazy about her.""So her leukemia didn't develop by chance?" Marina looked at Otto in shock. The bloodlust in Otto's eyes remained strong. He said with a cold smile, "That's right. I had wanted your father to marry a woman that's a match for our family after your mother passed away. But he married Chloe instead. She could no longer bear a child after her miscarriage. "I asked your father to find another healthy woman and have a baby, but he refused. That's why I had to do this."Marina's fingers held onto the chair's armrests tightly. She was the one who caused Chloe's miscarriage. She had hated Chloe ever since she was a child. She felt like Chloe stole Chris' love from her mother. Marina thought if Chloe gave birth to a baby, even her fat
