With that, Ethan took Olivia's hand and walked away, leaving the furious Nikki alone.Ethan was even less caring than he had been when he was young. He was as stubborn as they came.When Nikki saw the two walking away hand-in-hand, she gritted her teeth so hard that they almost broke.She sneered coldly, looking like a snake hiding in the shadows. A venomous glint flashed across her eyes.Olivia angled her body to look at Ethan. Sensing her gaze, Ethan looked down at her. "What's the matter? If you have any questions, just ask them. Don't overthink things."Olivia raised an eyebrow. "I do have a question. Did you truly think about killing her whole family?""Yes."Ethan said without any hesitation, "My mother wasn't mentally well, so she rarely took care of me when I was young. Back then, to establish connections, my aunt took me in."That was when I got to know Nikki. She was the neighbor's child, but she kept trying to play with me. When I said that I didn't like to play hous
Olivia and Ethan were the only people in that passageway. Olivia could hear the noisy sounds of music and the host's voice on the other side. They were at some sort of event.She didn't understand it. If Ethan wanted to bring her to an event, it didn't make sense for him to keep it a secret.Looking at Ethan, she asked in a small voice, "What event is this? You should at least tell me beforehand so that I can prepare myself."There was a lamp above them, and the light shone on the man's well-defined face. The sharpness of his features disappeared in the light."It doesn't matter what event it is. The important thing is that I'm attending it with you."The host's voice could be heard outside, followed by cheers from the audience. Olivia realized that they were at the award ceremony of some film festival.Olivia was even more curious about Ethan's identity now. She thought that he was the construction site supervisor of some huge project.She didn't understand why he would be able
Olivia's mind was in a mess, and her heart was racing too.She felt like she had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.She looked at Ethan quietly. Ethan was glowing under the gaze of the audience.When he looked at her, his gaze seemed to hide a whole galaxy in it."In the past, I loved my wife too much. I loved her so much that I stubbornly hid her and blocked out the light that radiated from her. Now, I want to return to her all the light that belongs to her."Ethan had worked hard before, trying his best to hide her so that he could protect her. But in the end, he was the one who scarred her.So, he wanted to change his methods. He would make it up to her and pamper her.If this was what Olivia wanted, he would cast everything aside to fulfill her wishes.He wouldn't hide Olivia again. He would boldly tell everyone that Olivia was none other than his Mrs. Miller.The microphone carried Ethan's voice to every corner of the hall. Olivia's heart was beating so
After presenting the awards, Ethan took Olivia's hand. They made their way to the seats reserved for them.When the lights had dimmed, Olivia grumbled in his ear, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I wasn't prepared for it at all. I looked so stupid onstage just now."Hearing Olivia's complaints, Ethan put on a loving smile."I wanted to give you a surprise.""It's more of a shock. My palms are still sweaty. I'm going to the bathroom.""Sure."Olivia had just gotten up when Ethan gave Brent a look. Brent immediately took some men with him to follow Olivia. From an appropriate distance, they protected Olivia in the shadows.Ethan leaned lazily in the chair, fiddling with his wedding ring. A cold gleam appeared in his eyes.His phone kept vibrating in his pocket. After Ethan had rejected the calls a few times, the caller still refused to give up. Ethan had no choice but to get up and leave to answer the call.After presenting the awards, Olivia felt like she was walking on clouds.
Seeing that Nikki's expression had changed, Olivia dried her hands with a tissue. Then, she slowly applied hand cream."Ms. Shaw, I don't know what exactly you're trying to prove to me. Is it the pretend play you had when you were a kid or your family background that you're so proud of?"I only know that in love, the loser is the one who doesn't get it. Moreover, it's not like he just doesn't love you. He'll probably be more invested in a passerby than in you." Olivia put down her hand cream. "If I were you, I'd feel too ashamed to even think about hurrying forward to prance around.""Just wait, Olivia. We'll see who's the real loser here. We'll meet again soon."Nikki was planning to threaten Olivia. But she didn't expect to be caught off-guard by Olivia's words.Olivia was proud of none other than Ethan's love for her.Without Ethan, she was nothing.But with Ethan around, she owned the whole world.Olivia didn't feel much about Nikki's threats. If Ethan loved her, there wa
Everyone was discussing among themselves."I didn't expect Mrs. Miller to be so kind to a fault. Should offending janitors be released without punishment just because they're from marginalized groups?""If I go out and hit a Rolls-Royce tomorrow, I'll just say that I'm poor so that I can be let off the hook. Is this how things work now?""If Mrs. Miller is so rich, she can just pay the measly 500 thousand for him. She doesn't have to trouble a minor celebrity with her superior sense of morals.""I know, right? When they were on the stage just now, I thought that she and Mr. Miller were a perfect match. But now, it looks like she's not that special at all. Money doesn't grow on trees even for us celebrities.""The dress was difficult to borrow, and now, it's ruined because of the water. Compensating for it is one thing, but she'll also be blacklisted after ruining it. The loss isn't something that can be solved through words alone.""Even a million dollars isn't enough to compensa
Ethan strode up to Olivia, pulling her into his embrace right away. "Are you alright?""I'm fine. I happened to see someone getting bullied, so I helped out."After explaining, Olivia looked at Mara. "I can show the receipt for the dress, and I also have a photo of the dress hanging in the closet at home. But Ms. Hudson, what evidence can you provide?"Seeing that Olivia was getting serious, Mara had no choice but to keep insisting. "My manager was the one who borrowed it. She has the receipt.""Alright, then call your manager over. Ask her where she borrowed it from. She can help support your claim too.""S-She just left for some urgent business. I can't get her here, can I?""So, you don't have any evidence, and you also falsely accused someone and lied about the price. This is extortion, isn't it?"Mara said nervously, "Extortion? Quit trying to slander me! Fine, I can't afford to mess with someone high and mighty like you, Mrs. Miller. I'll just take it as a loss."Mara did
Before Mara joined the entertainment industry, she was famous for being a bully. She had always been the one bullying others, and no one had ever bullied her before.She was a lowly celebrity in the entertainment industry, but she was good at socializing. She never lacked men.She only focused on earning money. She didn't care if she was able to film shows. As long as she could get money, she didn't care what methods she had to use.But she didn't expect that someone would want to kill her. Her eyes widened even more as she squeezed out the word, "W-Why?"This man looked so weak before. How did he suddenly turn out like this?Cold murderous intent emanated from his body. He wasn't a normal janitor at all."Blame yourself for messing with people you should never have provoked, Ms. Hudson. Someone paid for you to die."Mara had never gotten involved with things like that before. It was only then that she realized the gravity of the situation.This was a lawful society! How could
