Chapter 297


    Colin covered Olivia’s phone screen. “Olivia, I know that you’re anxious and wish to ask ra about


    everything.”


    He saw through her intention. She nodded. “Yes, Colin. Leia’s death caused me to suffer for the past


    two years.


    “I know that it’s difficult for Ethan and I to get along well like we did in the past.


    “But I’ve been doing my best to find evidence so that I can prove him wrong, that my father is not that


    kind of person.”


    Olivia clenched his sleeve. “I barely found the hope to continue living. I …”


    Colin asked seriously, “Olivia, have you ever thought that this could be another trap to lure you out?


    “Your hints led Ethan to reinvestigate his sister’s death. The mastermind’s carefully devised n is


    disrupted.


    “She’s reusing her pawns one by one. Why did ra make such a huge ruckus by resigning from her


    position?”


    She answered, “She’s waiting for me to show up.”


    “That’s right.”


    “The fact that you’ve survived has disrupted her n. Your only weakness is Mr. Fordham, and I’ve


    already sent him away.


    “She has nothing to hold over your head. That’s why she took this move.”


    Olivia’s face darkened. “Yeah. She has a lot of tricks up her sleeves.”


    She thought of Ryan, who wanted to lure her out at the engagement party.


    Gritting her teeth, she was thinking of a counter n.


    Suddenly, her eyes brightened. “I have a n!”

    “What?” Colin turned his head to look at her.


    “Since Ethan is investigating this case, I can add fuel to the fire. Give him a tip-off about this


    information.


    “It doesn’t matter if it’s real or fake. It’s up to him to decide.”


    He nodded. “Okay. Olivia, I suddenly feel uneasy about this. We should leave the city earlier than


    nned”


    Olivia was stunned for a moment before she responded, “Okay. We’ll do as you say.”


    Now, the only person she could trust was Colin.


    She took out the teddy phone watch from the pillow. “Ask someone to return this to Mrs. Carlton. I can’t


    ept her maternal love.”


    He hummed in response and stroked her head. “Rest up. I’ll make the arrangements.”


    “Okay.”


    Ethan shoved the documents off the desk in his study.


    He mmed his hands on the desk with a grim expression. “Any news about Liv’s whereabouts?”


    “Calm down, Mr. Miller. We almost drained the water out of the area. If Mrs. Miller was dead, we


    would’ve found her long ago.


    “It’s highly possible that she’s gone into hiding.


    Ethan obviously knew that Olivia had gone into hiding. But there was something else guing his mind.


    He wondered, “I won’t harm her again. If she can’t believe in others, why doesn’t she believe in me? If


    she’s not dead, why didn’t shee find me?”


    All the evidence he found from his investigation was directed toward the same thing-someone was


    setting Jeff up.


    The document in front of him was the result of a deeper investigation. A lot of problems arose.


    The previous information stated that Jeff had unusual rtionships with the women who received his


    sponsorship.


    However, based on this investigation, those girls were either mentally ill or came from dysfunctional


    families.


    Some of them were addicted to gambling, while some didn’t have a clean personal life.


    Brent entered the study to hand over a list. “It’s about those women who imed to be in a rtionship


    with Mr. Fordham.


    “Their parents’ or uncles’ back ounts suddenly received a lot of money. The amount ranges from 30


    thousand dors to over 100 thousand dors.”


    He nced at Ethan’s expression. “All of them received the money these two years. It’s highly possible


    that someone bought


    them off.”
