Chapter 614
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,

It happened a long time ago, but Kayla could still feel the agonizing pain in her bones.She was hospitalized for six months, and Ethan left her.Even after threatening that she would give up on her studies, he merely replied, "Have it your way."Then, he blocked her contact number.Kayla spent her days and nights crying. She also married Diego Welsh, who was older than her by 20 years, out of revenge.He didn't look down on her even though she had lost her legs. Instead, he married her and treated her well.However, he messed around with some non-famous celebrities because Kayla gave him the cold treatment.Little did he know that the person in her heart was Ethan. She had been keeping an eye on Ethan, and she was more obsessed than before.Kayla was overjoyed when she learned the news that the engagement between Ethan and Marina was called off.Kayla was confident that he wouldn't fall in love with any woman that easily, thinking that no one in this world deserved him.That

Ethan shut his eyes in the car, taking a break. Cyril noticed that the air in the vehicle was so silent that it creeped him out.Thus, he took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Miller, did the negotiation go bust?""It's not that. The negotiation was impossible in the first place. She's ill." Ethan covered his forehead. "It's been so many years, yet she hasn't changed at all. She's even become worse than before. I shouldn't have softened up and saved her back then."Ten years ago, he saw the suffering Kayla by coincidence when he was passing by a village in the mountains.Her family favored sons over daughters.Her brother went to a high school in another area, and her family wanted her to quit school to marry her off to an old man in the village.They were planning to sell the wedding gift so that they would have the money to send her brother to school. Kayla fought for herself through reasonings only to be beaten up by her parents.Ethan never showed kindness to random people. It

Ethan sat in the main seat without uttering a word.Usually, his gaze alone was enough to scare one. But everyone was gutsy enough to tell him off today."Ethan, you've never let me down with your capabilities. That year, everyone agreed to the idea of handing the company over to you. And you didn't disappoint us. You've been managing the company well."But how could you make such a big mistake? It's not only the share price, but our reputation and company have been ruined overnight. Our ancestors worked so hard to build them up. As the president, you should give us an answer to this."With a cold expression, Ethan said briefly yet confidently, "Wait.""Wait? Wait for what? Do you know how many people are waiting to see us fall to rock bottom? And how many people are biding their time to make things harder for us so that someone else can replace us?"Honestly speaking, even someone who doesn't mingle around much in this industry is aware of how important the PR department is. It'

Ethan's slender finger tapped on the table. Finally, Gary had shown his true colors.As soon as Gary finished speaking, all eyes were on him.Some of them understood the situation, while some of them were furious and questioning what he was doing.On the contrary, Ethan, the main character of the issue, appeared calm. His finger was making tapping sounds rhythmically. Ethan wasn't frantic, but Gary became jittery. The latter's forehead was sweating as he was on tenterhooks.Anyone in Ethan's shoes would've become nervous and scared after Gary made such a proposal. However, why was Ethan so calm as though he had foreseen this situation?"He must be testing the waters!" Gary thought.As an afterthought, Gary recollected himself. He tried to calm himself down so as to not give the game away.Ethan said to Gary indifferently, "I'm more curious about who you'll suggest to take my position after dismissing me.""There are a lot of capable young men in the family. There will be some

Ethan was very busy during the short period of break.Since Brent and Kelvin weren't around, Ethan had to handle a lot of things himself.Cyril was transferred over at a last-minute notice. Thinking about the shareholder voting that was going to commence half an hour later, Cyril wasn't afraid of it.He felt sorry for Ethan instead."Mr. Miller, you've poured so much effort into the company, and that's why it could achieve such achievements. How could they repay your favor by trying to dismiss you from your position?"Ethan lit a cigarette. "This might not be a bad thing. I've long noticed someone plotting something behind the scenes. I can use the opportunity to lure the rat out.""Are you trying to clear the decks, Mr. Miller?""It'll happen sooner or later." Ethan exhaled a cloud of smoke. "I'll make him know what's the consequence of coveting something that doesn't belong to him."Cyril took his phone out and glanced at it. "As you've expected, Kayla met a man after you l
