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
"Don't you find it odd, Mrs. Miller? You've been married into the family for so many years, but you've never met Mr. Miller's parents."To sum it up, Mrs. Miller Senior isn't the woman Mr. Miller Senior loves. Mr. Miller Senior's heart belonged to someone else."But then, Mrs. Miller Senior got pregnant with his child with underhanded methods. She thought that Mr. Miller Senior would change his mind, but he only hated her even more."Thus, he chose to take care of the woman he loved, who was also pregnant then."When Olivia heard about the events, she felt her chest tightening. She felt as if someone was prying open an unseen spot with a needle."What happened after that?""Mrs. Miller Senior had hated that woman from the start. She was shunned by her husband, and she had some hormonal changes during pregnancy. So, Mrs. Miller Senior's mental illness worsened."She had depression, but she held on for the sake of her child. On the day she gave birth, she and the other woman had e
Olivia felt a little more sympathetic now. She didn't expect Ethan to have a family background like that."What's it like with the Millers right now?""Madam Eugenia's death was a huge shock to her husband, Mr. Harold. He's also quite old, and he has dementia."He has been resting and recuperating overseas since then. He generally doesn't care about what goes on in the family."Olivia asked, "Then … what about Ethan's father?""Back then, he had a strained relationship with Mr. Harold. In his anger, Mr. Harold disowned Mr. Miller Senior and drove him out of the Miller family."Mr. Miller Senior started another family a long time ago, and he's living a happy life with the woman he loves."Olivia asked, "He doesn't like Mrs. Miller Senior, but doesn't he even care about his son?""That's right. To be honest, every man in the Miller family is deeply devoted to love. From Mr. Harold right up to Mr. Miller, and even Mr. Miller Senior, they'd hold onto the person they love for life.
"I looked into the provocative posts. The IP addresses are from different areas around the globe, but they were posted at the same time. It's the work of a professional hacker.""They could achieve so much in such a short time after the incident. They must be quite skilled."Brent's expression stiffened. "Mr. Miller, are you suspecting the person behind the hired assassination?""Yes. They could afford the 100 million dollars to hire up to a hundred people from The Black Ravens. They could also get hackers to direct the netizens right after the incident happened."Other than power and wealth, this person also has malicious intentions. They're nowhere near righteous either."Ethan frowned deeply. After investigating it for so long, they still hadn't found any clues.The person was very careful, and they would prepare a way out beforehand every time. Even if someone tried to investigate, they would only be met with an unrelated corpse in the end."Who did Mrs. Miller offend? Why w
