Ethan explained the whole story to Olivia in his office.In fact, he had long known that Darrell was getting in touch with his men. Ethan played along with it by asking his subordinates to betray him in order to earn Darrell's trust.Darrell fell right into Ethan's trap, and Ethan was able to root out the rats in the meantime.Olivia was gaping the whole time. Two days ago, she came across a content regarding the business scenarios in real life.But the description was nothing compared to this. She thought, "Shouldn't it be like the boss asks me to remove the cable in the competitor's building or use black magic to ruin their business development?"Ethan grazed her nose. "You're drooling.""I mean, you can tell me more about your studd. Otherwise, I'll feel like I'm a good-for-nothing."Her adorable expression made him chuckle. "I don't really wanna drag you into this.""Since we've averted the company crisis, what about Mara's case? Kelvin and Brent are still detained. I heard the Fi

In an underground garage, Darrell stood there with a stormy expression. His phone was called by a virtual number. He picked up and said coldly, "If you want to make fun of me. I suggest you keep it to yourself." "I'm calling to offer you a job." "Oh?""I know you have spent a lot of money over the years. I have a billion-dollar job. Interested?""Tell me about it." The man over the phone said slowly, "I'll give you a billion dollars if you kill Olivia Fordham for me."In the CEO's office, Olivia turned to look at the man. "What is it? Do we have a new lead?""No leads on the person, yet. But it's about time we end this. Do you want to come along and watch the show?"Olivia blinked and asked, "Can I really?""Of course. They are the ones that should apologize, not you."Ethan finished dealing with work and personally drove Olivia to the beach.The sun was setting, and Olivia could make out the horizon. She had an inherent fear of the sea. Her heart rate spiked as they

The woman on the floor, Kayla Harper, realized that it was Olivia whom she was looking at, the woman that Ethan loved. Kayla finally realized that it wasn't that Ethan wasn't interested in women. He had been waiting for Olivia to show up since a decade ago. He had never explained himself to Kayla because he didn't need to, nor did he want to. Kayla knew she had just been chasing a dream she would never achieve. She worked hard out of his sight. She even dreamed of being his woman every single day. When he rejected her, Kayla spent her days wallowing in sadness. She even did many extreme things. Thinking about it, Kayla felt like she had been a joke all along. The woman sitting beside Ethan was elegant and ladylike. Not only was the woman more beautiful than her, but she was also more refined. Kayla was even more frustrated when she looked at Olivia's perfectly fine legs. Why was fate so cruel? Why did she have to meet Ethan?"You awake?"Ethan sat upright in his chair

Olivia's first reaction wasn't anger. She just felt like there were a lot of weird people around Ethan. What was the deal with this woman that looked like her? Ethan was visibly angered. The veins popped on his forehead. He stopped Diego. Diego worked up a sweat from kicking Kayla, but his expression was still humble when he talked to Ethan."I'm so sorry, Mr. Miller. I had people look into her chat logs and phone records. There wasn't anything suspicious. But I did find the original copy of the video."Ethan walked next to Kayla, who was panting on the floor, and said, "Tell me, what did you talk about with Darrell?""Nothing, really. Meeting you was the biggest mistake in my life," Kayla said with a sneer. Ethan was at a loss for words. It was the first time he felt like a woman in love could be so terrifying. He thought the woman would at least tell the truth since he had helped her in the past. He didn't expect her to be so thankless. Even in her current situation, s

Olivia wasn't bothered by Kayla's words at all. She was still calm and confident, which was in stark contrast to Kayla, who was still on the ground. The instant the door closed, Kayla felt she understood why Ethan fell for Olivia, but it was too late. The door cut off her blood-curdling screams. She didn't have a future anymore. She had destroyed her own marriage with her own doing. The man who loved her once no longer did. Ethan was still holding Olivia's hand when they got into the car. Everything he was worried about since Olivia regained consciousness didn't happen. But her personality was completely different. She was calm and composed. She no longer felt jealous when other women approached him. The good thing was she didn't reject him either. Overall, she was very emotionally stable. Sometimes, she was so calm that it scared Ethan. "Liv, do you have any questions for me?"Sitting in the dark, Ethan was the one who started the conversation. Olivia spoke in a s

The plot twist came so abruptly that no one saw it coming. Mara was a ruthless bully and did a lot of immoral things. A lot of the people that she bullied came forward and exposed her. Some of the victims of her bullying were even diagnosed with depression and were affected for life. There was even a middle-aged couple that had a child that committed suicide due to false accusations by Mara. They stood before the cameras and condemned Mara with a yellowed picture. Then, there were Mara's teachers, classmates, and neighbors. Everyone came forward and shared their experiences with her. Makeup artists, stylists, and other lower-level workers in the entertainment industry also spoke up anonymously about Mara's arrogant and domineering behavior. The most surprising thing was that several other cleaners and servers also mentioned that Mara had scammed them in the same way. The altercation between Mara and Olivia had become public knowledge. Even the original evening gown in Oli

A tall man was curled up in a corner of a cold, dark room. Shane could hear a click. He was like a rat in the dark and was silently paying attention to what was happening outside. The tiniest sound would attract his attention. He adjusted his glasses and stumbled toward the door. A ray of light shone in through, and Shane became hopeful. Ethan's men didn't do anything to him after he made the video clearing up the misunderstanding about Olivia. But he hadn't had anything to eat or drink for over half a day. His throat was parched. The door was finally being opened. Was he going to be freed?A tall and well-built man appeared at the door. Shane anxiously asked, "I did what you asked. You should let me go now."Someone turned on the lights in the room. The bright light shone right into Shane's eyes, so he covered his eyes with his hands. After his eyes adjusted to the light, he heard an indifferent voice say, "You think you'd be leaving?"The voice wasn't loud, but Shane f
