Chapter 53


    By a twist of fate, Olivia found herself in Ethan’s sight at her most difited moments.


    It turned out that the Atkinses and the Carltons were family friends. The Carltons invited the Atkinses to


    hold shares in the Oand Hospital. Calvin was helping Marina to scout for talents. And that was how


    everyone ended up at the event.


    However, the guests were surprised that Ethan tagged along as well. His presence took the event to


    the next level. And the guests flocked up to greet him.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Calvin did not abandon Olivia even after Ethan showed up. He handed her some napkins, and their


    hands touched in a moment of frenzy.


    It was warm indoors. So Olivia unbuttoned her down jacket to reveal a knitted white dress underneath.


    It wasn’t her intention to pick that particr dress, because it entuated her figure.


    Lifting her head, she exposed her smooth nape. She looked lovely and doelike.


    Ethan noticed the absence of the mark on her neck, symbolizing their faded love. One day, he would


    put their memories


    behind him.


    Still, Ethan realized that he was not as cool as he thought when Calvin held Olivia’s wrist. And he


    stared intently at the motion.


    Calvin immediately sensed his hostile gaze and looked up. But he only found Calista greeting Ethan.


    Confused, Calvin thought Ethan’s hostility was an illusion.


    He greeted Ethan with grace, “Mr. Miller, we were not expecting you! It’s our honor to have you here.


    Marina, this is the gifted student that I mentioned–Olivia Fordham. Olivia, you should know Mr. Miller by


    now. And this is Mr. Miller’s-”


    Olivia shed her meekness and put on a thinly–veiled hostility. “I know. That’s Mr. Miller’s fiancée.”


    She had thought that she’d never cross paths with Ethan. But it didn’t take them long to run into each


    other.


    Calvin smacked his head and chuckled. “Oh, this is embarrassing. Every guest of mine must have


    known Mr. Miller and Ms. Carlton from all that media coverage on their engagement.”


    “I suppose everyone has heard about Mr. Miller’s fiancée. But does anyone know who his ex–wife is?”


    With augh like silver bells, Everly approached the group. She had sessfully sold off one of her


    properties just now.


    She was a cheerful and carefree spirit and was pretty. She tied her pink hair into a bun and strutted


    over in her stilettos. However, her pointed question was a rude shock to the guests around them.


    “Everly, don’t run your mouth! Mr. Miller doesn’t have an ex–wife.”


    “Right! He’s smitten with Ms. Carlton.”


    Everly was determined to even the score on Olivia’s behalf. So she fearlessly walked up to Ethan and


    hissed, “They said you are smitten with Ms. Carlton. How should we describe what you’ve done to your


    ex–wife, then? Walking out on her?”


    Ethan shut her up. “She’s not worthy of mention.”


    With that, he made his way around Everly and Olivia, shocking the guests with his admission. However,


    he made it obvious that he wanted to drop the topic.. Any sensible guest would tiptoe around it, unlike


    Everly.


    Surrounded by starstruck guests, he glided into the venue. Nobody except for Everly noticed that Olivia


    was shaking indignantly.


    Olivia had not expected Ethan to dismiss their past rtionship with such heartlessness. She realized


    that her precious memories were not worthy of a mention for him and clenched her fists.


    Meanwhile, Everly seemed apologetic for her botched attempt at humiliating Marina. It backfired when


    Ethan shut her down. She also knew that in Olivia and Ethan’s divorce agreement, they agreed to keep


    their past rtionship a secret.


    “Liv, are you feeling unwell? I’ll send you home.”
