Chapter 706
Unbeknownst to everyone, a group of men in suits had suddenly appeared at the entrance.Kelvin and Brent had obvious wounds on their solemn faces. They respectfully stood behind Ethan. Meanwhile, there was a scar on Ethan's brow. Ethan's cold and dominant aura loomed over the place.Darrell gaped in disbelief. "How could this be? Didn't you …"Ethan strode over with an icy expression. He then picked up the pace and stood right before Darrell in no time.Ethan reached out and grabbed Darrell's neck without a word.In comparison to Ethan, Darrell was thinner. This put him on the chopping block against Ethan's attack. The only thing Darrell could do was to reflexively take a few steps back. However, Ethan was walking faster and faster.Noticing that there was some champagne behind them, Jessica yelled, "Stop! Stop right there!" She shouted with all her might, but it was in vain. Her only hope was Edmund. "Edmund, stop him!"But Edmund stood still with an indifferent express

Olivia's gastric was killing her, and frustration bubbled up in her due to Darrell's scheming. But Ethan's embrace made her feel safe, as though she was an abandoned puppy that finally found its owner.Ethan gently caressed Olivia's face. And although she was wearing makeup, he could tell that something was wrong with one glance. "Feeling unwell?"Since there were a lot of watchful eyes, Olivia put up with the pain and smiled. "I'm fine. I'm glad that you're back."Ethan glanced at the cold sweat on her forehead, assuming that Darrell and Jessica's scheming was the cause of her discomfort.Hence, Ethan was determined to clear up the mess as soon as possible.He cooed, "Don't be afraid. I'm back now. No one can bully you again."He then shifted his gaze onto Jessica. "I've heard of what happened in the past few days. I thought of saying this after today since today's Grandpa's birthday. But since you keep rambling about wanting to leave, I might as well grant you your wish. Edmund

Now that Jessica couldn't speak, she glared at Ethan in disbelief. She hadn't expected him to do that to his stepmother!"Jessi!" Kenneth hurriedly removed the napkin from her mouth.Jessica wanted to whine in reflex, but Ethan's cold gaze stopped her. She then pointed at Darrell lying on the ground. "Save our son first."Kenneth knew that now was not the time to fight with Ethan. Darrell's life was of utmost priority."Okay, stop crying." Ethan let go of Jessica before striding toward Kelvin. "Let him go."Despite Kenneth's forceful aura, Kelvin wasn't working for Kenneth. So why would Kelvin listen to him? Besides, Kelvin was infuriated upon learning what Kenneth had done to the young Ethan. Not giving Kenneth two punches was already Kelvin's best mercy. So Kelvin ignored Kenneth.Kenneth's expression turned gloomy, feeling that he wasn't being respected again. "I told you to let go of him. Are you deaf?"Kelvin dug his ear while boldly looking at Kenneth. "Can't do that w

Kenneth turned at Jessica. "Aren't you the person who keeps wanting to leave?"Hurt, tears trickled down Jessica's cheeks. "Do you think I want to stay here? I simply can't bring myself to make our son leave. He followed us around while we built our careers for so many years. He's suffered a lot."Jessica then knelt before Harold. "Dad, do you know how tough our life was? I know that you look down upon me because of my family background, but what did Darrell do wrong? The Millers' blood runs in him, and the person Kenneth likes is clearly me. You drove us apart and drove Kenneth out of the house. Even though we're married, people outside still look down upon us."Darrell is the most pitiful person here. He has a family, but he has to bear the title of an illegitimate child. He was bullied since he was young and used to return home with bruises over his body. Do you know how much it hurt to see him like that as his mother? He's an innocent child. He should be getting good teaching an

Kenneth's brows furrowed. He thought of those days when he was busy round the clock; Jessica had kept asking him for money.She told him that her father fell seriously ill; her mother was having a heart attack the next day; or her brother was in trouble. She even claimed that her father was sent to the ICU, which had cost a lot of money every day. And there were many other expenses too.After Kenneth gave her over ten thousand dollars, she would make up all sorts of excuses again.To him, Jessica had always been a simple and innocent woman. He didn't perceive her as someone materialistic.Thus, he didn't think of her that way. They were a married couple anyway, so his money was hers as well.It was just that he didn't have much money in his hands back then, and ten million dollars wasn't enough to run a company. Jessica would make excuses to take over every project too. His circumstances were rough, but he didn't even complain once. He even suggested paying her father a visit,

Jessica attempted to explain her stance, but it wasn't convincing in the face of such irrefutable evidence. All she could do was tell Kenneth how much she loved him.However, Kenneth yanked her hand, and, for the first time, there was something similar to resentment in his eyes. "Enough talking. Let's go."No matter what kind of person she was, her actions today made her a stranger to him and humiliated him.His sole wish was to leave this place.Even though Jessica was reluctant to go, she could only listen to Kenneth.Although she had gotten enough money from him, who would actually give up on a cash cow?"Okay. I'll listen to you. Let's get out of here with Darrell," Jessica said.Ethan looked at her with a cold gaze and crossed his arms. "I never said that he could leave."Jessica furiously glared at him. "How long do you want him to kneel here?""Until I'm satisfied. Even if he dies a thousand times over, it will never be enough to atone for his deeds. Edmund, send them
Chapter 712
Everyone's attention was on the woman at the entrance. Harold's and Janice's expressions changed. They shared the same notion and wondered, "Why is Marina here? We'd ensured she wouldn't be able to get close to Olivia. Who helped Marina?"With his face covered in blood, Darrell let out a triumphant smile at the turn of events. "Ethan, it seems like you haven't won either."Ethan frowned. He had been dealing with the mastermind for the past two days. He didn't expect this coming from that person.Now that Olivia had seen Marina, it didn't matter if he drove Marina out of there anymore because he couldn't explain the situation."Edmund, send the guests off," Janice said.Being a sensible man, Edmund took action as soon as he received the orders. "Miss, we're sorry for the inadequate hospitality. But we're not seeing any guests today."Of course, Marina would not do as he said. Instead, she maneuvered her wheelchair and charged at Ethan.She said, "Ethan, you can't do this to me.

The first thing Ethan did was run toward Olivia to hold her, preventing her from falling down. However, blood kept oozing out of her mouth.The whole Miller family was sent into a frenzy. They surrounded Olivia and said, "Call the doctor! Why isn't he here yet!"Ethan hugged Olivia's frail body and tried to wipe the blood away from her lips. However, the blood stained his hand and Olivia's white dress.Ethan began to sense that something was off. "Liv, what's wrong?" he asked.Ethan's question stunned Keith, who hadn't been around for the past two years. He asked, "So, you still don't know what illness she's suffering from until today?"Ethan shifted his gaze onto Keith. "Illness? What illness?"Instead of answering Ethan, Keith helplessly glanced at Olivia. "You said that you wouldn't regret making this choice, yet this is the person whom you love with all your heart?"Olivia didn't know what kind of past she shared with Ethan, but she was aware that this wasn't what he had tol
