Ethan didn't stop for a moment at all. Even though it was late at night, he showed no sign of exhaustion.The thought of living a happy life with Olivia after catching the mastermind spurred him to rush to Seaside Streets as soon as possible.The car was driven in the darkness at full pelt. There were a lot of cars on the street, carrying hundreds of people who then surrounded the whole mansion.Ethan alighted from the car hurriedly before dashing over.The smell of trees and blood lingered in the salty sea breeze that brushed past those men's faces. They worked for Ethan."What's the situation?" asked Ethan anxiously.Cyril walked out of the crowd. "Mr. Miller, that person was injured and jumped off the sea. Kelvin and the others are after him."Ethan's brows knitted, not expecting such an accident after making so much preparation for it."Take me there."Karma always found its way to its prey.Previously, Olivia was forced to jump into the sea; now, it was the mastermind's turn."Di
Janice chose a cocktail dress for Olivia too. Different from Janice's dark green dress, Olivia's was white.Wearing white pearl earrings and the bracelet that was specially meant for Mrs. Miller, Olivia seemed like the prettiest flower of all.Meanwhile, it was Jessica's first time attending the Millers' event as Mrs. Miller Senior.She looked like a jewelry model with all the accessories she donned. It was as if she was afraid that others wouldn't know that she was rich.She hoped she had more heads and arms to flex her wealth with all her accessories.The Miller family hadn't made an official announcement, but word had gotten out within the circle.Janice had been resting in the Miller residence after getting dumped. Harold was already old, but his son worried him.In the end, Jessica managed to become Mrs. Miller Senior.So what if Janice was married to Kenneth early on? After trying to win his heart for so many years, she still divorced in the end.Janice hadn't shown herself yet,
Time seemed to cease. Janice's and Olivia's beauty was too surreal to be true.One of them was like a flower blooming in spring while the other was like the moon in fall.Kenneth's fingers tightened around his wine glass. It felt like a dream to him. He began doubting if that was the Janice he knew.Countless images of Janice smashing items and her anguish screams played in his mind. His memories of her had always been of her begging him not to go or her scolding and humiliating Jessica.Now, her cold gaze swept across the crowd like that of a superior woman. It didn't stay on him for a second.It was so unfamiliar that it seemed like they were strangers.On the other hand, Darrell was staring at Olivia in a daze. He was aware of how pretty she was, but he didn't expect her to turn into a belle in that minimalistic dress.As she looked at everyone with an indifferent gaze, she ignited his sense of competitiveness for some reason.The three's appearance drew everyone's attention.Janice
It was Darrell again. Olivia lifted her head and shot him a cold gaze. "Is anything the matter?"He was wearing a white suit. In addition to his good looks, others perceived him as a gentleman. She was the only person who knew how evil his intentions were beneath that facade."Why are you giving me the cold shoulder? I'm just worried about you.""Didn't I tell you that I'll dislocate your jaw if you aren't careful with your words?"He touched his wrist instinctively. "You look cold, but you have quite a temper. It makes me curious about something—does your character change this much in bed as well?"As soon as he finished, Olivia splashed the glass of warm water in her hand onto Darrell's face.Despite her small action, everyone turned to them within a fleeting second. The two were involved in the gossip, so people's eyes were always on them.Jessica, whose expression had changed, hurried over to them."Liv, what's going on here? Did my son do anything to you? You're humiliating him
It hurt so much that Olivia couldn't speak. Janice wanted to take a seat to enjoy the show, but to her surprise, Jessica and Darrell were on it again. It seemed like they were seizing this chance to make up an excuse for Harold to drive Olivia and the others out."Kenneth Miller, if you like that word so much, why don't you carve it on your gravestone in the future?" Janice said.Displeased, Kenneth looked at her and said, "Zip it. This is none of your business."Janice then stood in front of Olivia and barked fiercely at him, "You shut the fuck up!"Kenneth was stunned, and so was Jessica. The spectators were equally dumbfounded too.Harold was the only person feeling awkward as he coughed lightly, "Watch your words, Janice. Your mother-in-law is the most feisty person. She might call you up tonight."In the past, even when Janice was angry, she never scolded Jessica with bad words before. Janice was raised with a good upbringing in a rich family after all.However, she had become fe
Jessica was crying so much that she could barely catch her breath. "Kenneth, I thought that Grandpa would finally feel our sincerity as long as I raised Darrell and managed the household well. Not to mention, you and Janice had already divorced. Still, he's taking us as strangers after all these years. "I think we should leave. There's no place for us here."Although Janice hadn't said anything, Kenneth got mad from Jessica's provocation and helped Darrell up, blurting, "Who's leaving? They're the ones who should leave!"However, Kenneth regretted his words as soon as he finished speaking. Knowing what kind of horrible life Janice had lived in the past, he had no intention of driving her out. He would even agree to her request if she wished to spend the rest of her life in the Miller residence.Yet, he hadn't realized what he was saying in the heat of the moment.Throwing out hurtful words was like plunging a knife into someone's heart. And even if the wound turned into a scar, it wo
The way Darrell said that Ethan was no longer around prompted Kenneth to look at him sideways. "What did you say?""Ethan was involved in an explosion, Dad. He's been missing till this day. He may have already passed away," Darrell said the most hurtful words with the gentlest tone.It left everyone dumbstruck. Even though Ethan spent many years building up his career in Allandia, no one could doubt his identity and capability.If Ethan was dead, Darrell would be the heir of the family!It was no wonder Harold was willing to let Darrell and Jessica return. That was the exact reason!Kenneth had heard of the rumors, but he simply deemed them as nonsensical stories made up by someone up to no good. He wouldn't believe that Ethan would pass away all of a sudden.Kenneth felt uneasy after hearing what Darrell said. "There's no irrefutable evidence for that. Why would you say that?""Dad, you've heard of the news of the exploded abandoned factory a few days ago. Do you think he cou
"Dad, there're a lot of people watching. Don't cause trouble, you'll be a laughing stock," Darrell said, trying to stop Harold too. "Grandpa, since you dislike me this much, Mom and I might as well leave. Hope you won't regret this. Let's go, Mom."It was clearly a threat.Kenneth grabbed Darrell and Jessica's hands. "As long as I'm here, I won't let you leave. Dad, Olivia's the cause of this matter. Is it that difficult to demand an apology from her?""I think the person who should apologize isn't her, but your son." A gentle voice resounded from the crowd.Olivia turned in the direction of the familiar voice. It was the person she met once in the airport—Keith!The girl standing next to him was tugging his hand, seemingly disliking the idea of him getting involved in the Millers' family matter.However, Keith didn't yield to power and approached them confidently. As a doctor, he first asked Olivia, "Are you alright?"It had been two years since they last met after separating
