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
Brent looked a little panicked. This matter could either be a trivial issue or a huge incident.Professional assassins would usually lay out the plan beforehand. They would calculate precisely how they would kill the person and deal with the body.They would never expose themselves, nor would they leave any fingerprints.Kelvin was an easygoing person, so that was why he ended up shouldering the blame."Mr. Miller, that jerk was wearing gloves. There are no fingerprints or any surveillance footage. Kelvin also happened to be at the scene. Even worse, rumors are starting to appear on the internet."Ethan rubbed his wedding ring. In contrast to Brent's urgency, Ethan looked more calm and reserved."What rumors?""Someone posted about the incident between Mrs. Miller and Mara. They claimed that we abuse our power to oppress others. Even news of Mara's death is making the rounds."She's not too famous, but she made quite a fuss shortly before her death. Also, Kelvin was found at th
On the screen, Mara was shown lying on the snowy ground. Her face was blurred out, so Olivia couldn't make out her expression.Mara was still wearing that dress. Before this, she was causing a ruckus because some water had gotten on it. But now, the dress was covered in snowflakes.Mara was fine just moments ago. Olivia could hardly believe that she died without any warning.Olivia's sleepiness was instantly gone. She tapped into the article and then read it in detail. She saw that Kelvin was involved.She remembered that Ethan seemed to have given Kelvin some orders before they left. Now, Mara was dead, and Kelvin had been caught at the scene.Olivia had an anxious look on her face. Pushing the blanket away, she ran outside.When she opened the door, she ran headfirst into a man's chest.Raising her head, her gaze met Ethan's concerned eyes. "You're not wearing shoes again. Where are you going this late at night?""Ethan, I saw the news. Is Kelvin okay?""He was there at the
Olivia took a long while to fall asleep. Ethan kept soothing her gently as if he were coaxing a child.She had been acting as usual lately, and there weren't any side effects. But Ethan still felt a little worried.He had read the experimental reports of other patients. They would more or less show some signs of a backlash.But Olivia didn't.This wasn't a good thing. She hadn't experienced any backlash because it wasn't time yet.If it happened, the backlash she experienced might be the worst in history.Ethan felt like there was a bomb planted in his heart, but he didn't know when it would explode. He had never relaxed a day since.Not long after falling asleep, Olivia screamed in his arms."Ah!"Ethan instantly opened his eyes. He hugged Olivia tightly, asking, "What's the matter, Liv?"Olivia's body was covered in cold sweat. She trembled uncontrollably. "Blood. I saw lots of blood in my dream!""What else did you see?""I also heard someone telling me to run away."Su
Ethan remembered what had happened last night. So, he decided not to let Olivia receive any more stimulation. But he didn't want her to think that he was deceiving her.He skirted around the issue and said, "There was a small problem. It's the incident with Kelvin. Things are getting out of hand online, so I don't want those trivial matters to upset you.""Is it very tricky?""Not exactly. I didn't let the PR department do their job because we're still collecting evidence. Some people are trying to make use of the chaos to stir up trouble."Leaning in, Ethan gently pinched her cheek as he spoke lovingly, "You don't have to think about these things. After resolving this issue, we'll be moving overseas."Rest well at home for the next few days, and avoid these negative news articles. I wouldn't want you to get affected by this."Olivia knew that he was doing this for her good. So, she didn't insist on her opinion. "Alright. Please save Kelvin as soon as possible.""Sure. I have to
