Chapter 300


    Kelvin stood by Ethan’s side. Thetter was sweating buckets, and his expression was menacing.


    Last night, he was able to sleep with the help of a sleeping pill. He was sleep-talking the whole night.


    “Mr. Miller, did you have a nightmare?” asked Kelvin.


    “I have a bad feeling.” Ethan’s voice was hoarse because he had just woken up.


    “It must be because too many things are happening recently-”


    Ethan coldly interrupted Kelvin. “Implement a strict inspection at all of the entrances, I’m afraid Liv will


    leave Aldenvine.”


    “Leave? But Mr. Fordham is still missing. He’s the only person Mrs. Miller cares for.


    “Why would she leave at this moment?”


    “There were four parties trying to take Jeff away that day. Do you think that her men could be one of


    them?”


    “I don’t think that’s highly possible. She doesn’t have the connections to hire mercenaries.


    “You weren’t there, so you didn’t see how cruel they killed people off.”


    Frowning, Ethan rested against the headboard.


    His expression was an indifferent one. “If she’s still in Aldenvine, why can’t we find her?”


    “Mr. Miller, do you mean that she has a helper?” Kelvin asked.


    “That’s possible.” Ethan lifted the nket and got out of the bed. He headed to the bathroom.


    He wondered where Olivia could possibly be. He had searched everywhere for her.


    Cashless payment was prevalent nowadays. She didn’t have cash, but there were no payment records


    under her name.


    How was she able to survive then?


    Ethan was confident that she had a helper.


    But who could it be?


    Everly was humming. Even her boss-the exploiter-didn’t seem hateful to her today.


    She thought, “It has been a while since I had a nice meal. What should I eat today?”


    She heard that there was a newly opened barbeque restaurant a few blocks away.


    The thought of juicy grilled meat made her salivate. She licked her lips.


    When she took a turn at a corner, she saw Ethan smolding.


    She didn’t expect to see him here.


    She retreated while praying that he didn’t see her. After taking a few steps backward, she realized that


    she couldn’t move.


    He was grabbing Everly’s scarf.


    Ethan looked right into her eyes. “Let’s have a talk.”


    She wished she could refuse his suggestion by pping his hand away. But she didn’t have the nerves


    to anger him.


    Something felt strange to her.


    Before this, whenever they met each other, he always appeared to be the arrogant hotshot


    businessman.


    Now, he seemed like a lonely man whose wife had run away.


    He was wrapped up in loneliness and destion.


    A few minutester, they sat opposite each other like thest time they met.


    Everly’s legs were trembling. Meanwhile, Ethan handed her the menu generously, “It’s on me. Order


    whatever you want.”


    She was excited when it came to food. After all, her motto was “no food, no life”.


    Besides, it was a rare chance for Ethan to buy her a meal!


    She dly pointed at the menu. “This and this.”


    He said, “Save the courtesy. You don’t have to hold yourself in.”


    As soon as he finished, he heard her adding, “I want everything besides those two.”


    He was rendered speechless.


    Everly was all smiles. “Sorry, Mr. Miller. Courtesy was never in my dictionary.”


    Ethan spread his hands as he wasn’t bothered by it. He said to the waiter, “That’s it.”


    She thought, “It’s a waste that Olivia didn’t rip him off before divorcing him. He’s basically swimming in


    cash!


    “If I were her, I would’ve ripped him off and sold all of his properties!”


    She grinned. “Mr. Miller, I don’t think you’re here to buy me a meal out of kindness.”


    “Have you met Liv?” he asked coldly.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
