"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

Ethan said coldly, "I have a very important matter to deal with right now. If you have anything to say, talk to my assistant."He was about to leave when Xavier stepped forward, blocking his path."Sorry, Mr. Miller. The murder case aside, someone also reported your company for tax evasion and other issues. You have to come with us."Someone was trying to delay him with these things at this particular moment. A trace of impatience appeared on Ethan's calm face."If you have anything to say, just talk to my lawyer and assistant. Step aside."Xavier took out a pair of handcuffs right away. "Mr. Miller, if you refuse to cooperate, we'll have to do this the hard way. The law enforcement recorder is running right now. Please follow the procedure.""I said, get lost!"Lifting his hand, Ethan was about to strike Xavier. Xavier didn't dodge either. It was as if he was waiting for Ethan to get mad.Brent hastily took a step forward, stopping Ethan. He gave Ethan a look. "Mr. Miller, the

Olivia didn't know the children at all, but when she heard them crying, she felt her heart squeezing.She quietly walked up to the tall man. She asked, "Do you need help?"As soon as she said that, she wondered if she was seeing things, but she saw the man freezing.The man had his back to her, and he was wearing a mask as well. She couldn't see his expression.She explained in a kind tone, "Don't misunderstand, sir. I just saw you taking care of two children alone, so I thought you might need a hand."The man remained silent, but the child in the stroller was crying even louder now.Olivia's attention was drawn to the baby.In the milky white stroller was a baby girl wearing a pink jumpsuit. She was crying so hard that her face was all wrinkly. Her tender face was filled with a pitiful look.Olivia hastily picked the baby up, and the man didn't stop her."Good girl, are you feeling hungry? Be good and don't cry."Her voice seemed to have an enchanting allure. The baby who wa

Olivia could see that the man knew her, but he had covered himself up on purpose with his outfit. He didn't seem like a normal person at all, and danger emanated from him.But it was this creepy man who was holding two babies in his arms. It formed quite a stark contrast.If he was a kidnapper, no kidnapper would willingly buy so many clothes for the children.Olivia glanced at the price tags. The clothes cost hundreds of dollars each. The stroller was also filled with diapers and infant formula.The items in the stroller would total up to thousands of dollars at least. No kidnapper would spend that much money on children.The babies were still crying, but the man didn't look impatient at all. He even took out two pacifiers from his pocket.The pacifiers were sealed in sterile bags. This meant that the man had sanitized them before setting out.He stuffed the pacifiers into the babies' mouths, and the crying finally stopped.Olivia saw the two children sprawling on the man's sh

Madam Burgess was just a middle-aged woman in charge of cooking. She had no idea about the viral news on the internet at all.Olivia only knew that Kelvin was arrested despite being innocent. She didn't know how bad things had become in real life.When someone called out to her, she even looked at the crowd in slight confusion. Neither Olivia nor Madam Burgess knew what was going on.Everyone instantly turned around to look at them. It was only then that Olivia saw the mixed group of men and women.Some were holding a banner while others were holding buckets. The buckets were in various colors, so they probably contained something like paint.When they saw Olivia, they swarmed toward her like zombies.The bodyguards hastily stepped in front of Olivia and Madam Burgess.Madam Burgess said anxiously, "Mrs. Miller, let's leave right now.""You heartless capitalist! Pay for Mara's life with your own!"An extremely angry voice sounded behind her. When Olivia turned to look, she saw

The incident just now was simply too shocking, so the police quickly arrived at the scene.Some passersby who joined in the commotion were terrified by the turn of events. They all ended up getting arrested.Olivia had to go to a hospital as soon as possible for treatment. Thus, she wasn't called over to record a statement right away.Fortunately, the area of the wound wasn't too large. She had also carried out emergency treatment on time, so the damage was minimal.After Olivia received advanced treatment, Madam Burgess finally relaxed. She let out a heavy sigh."It's a good thing that you reacted quickly, Mrs. Miller. If not, it would've become a tragedy."Olivia patted Madam Burgess on the shoulder. "Don't be afraid. We're fine, aren't we? Also, you shouldn't try to protect me at dangerous times like that."If the acid had splashed onto you, the consequences would've been unthinkable."At the mention of the matter, Madam Burgess was furious. "Who knew that the guy would be s

Ethan brought Olivia back home. She was still suffering from the aftershock.When she recalled what had happened in the mall, she couldn't help but say, "Ethan, today, I bumped into—"His phone rang, interrupting her. He was so busy that his phone didn't stop ringing throughout the journey."Okay, I'll be there soon," he answered the call before looking at her. "What did you want to tell me, Liv? What happened in the mall?"She sighed. "It's nothing important. Go ahead and come back early.""Okay." He stroked her head and turned to leave.Olivia thought about that strange person. Even if that person wasn't a bad guy, she figured that it wouldn't be something important.She was merely worried about how things would go now that it had come this far.It was cloudy. Ethan, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, was wearing a gloomy expression. Considering that Brent and Kelvin were detained and what Olivia had encountered, it was natural for Ethan to be this moody.He had

When Kayla slowly rose from her seat, Ethan realized that she was wearing robotic legs right from her knees underneath her coat."Your legs …" He was slightly surprised.Her striking red lips beamed into a smile. "Is it weird? You should've known that anything could happen the moment you abandoned me."He wasn't happy with the way she put it, but he was too lazy to correct her. He asked indifferently, "Tell me, what do you want?"Kayla didn't expect him to be this indifferent after noticing her legs, hence the unhappy glint in her eyes.Suppressing the upsetting emotions in her, she smiled. "I know that you're loaded with cash, so I don't want anything material. I want you to sleep with me."Ethan's fingers, which were holding the photo, froze. He thought he heard it wrongly. "What did you say?"She didn't show a hint of awkwardness at all. Her eyes seemed crazed instead.Abruptly, she hugged him from behind him. Frowning, he shoved her away.Since her legs were disabled,
