Chapter 315


    Brent said, “On the cruise back then, Ms. Carlton made use of someone else to plot against Mrs. Miller.


    “She happened to get a hold of him and made him do the dirty work.


    “If he realized early on that something was amiss, but he still drank the drugged juice… How cunning


    can this man be?


    “He wasn’t just cunning, either. That day, if you hadn’t arrived in time, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller would’ve


    suffered.


    “When that happened, he could me it all on the drug. He could easily find an excuse and escape.


    This man is terrifying.

    “It didn’t matter if he had truly saved Mr. Fordham. But he got hurt and imed that it was because he


    was trying to save Mr.


    Fordham.


    “He did it so that Mrs. Miller would feel pity and remorse toward him.


    “Even now, Mrs. Miller treats him like a child, but he seems to have weird intentions with her.”


    Ethan frowned deeply, his dark eyes turning extremely cold. “What about the things I told you to do?”


    “Don’t worry, Mr. Miller. Before he left, I nted a tracker and listening device in his luggage.”


    “After he gets ashore, get someone to keep an eye on him. Do not alert him.”


    Ethan had a feeling that the man came prepared. Now that he had stopped the man’s operations, the


    man must have a backup n.


    “Should I inform Mrs. Miller about this?”


    “No.”


    Kelvin was a little upset about it. “Why not? If this keeps up, Mrs. Miller would think that he’s a good


    person.


    “But you’ll be the person who keeps hurting her, Mr. Miller.”


    Brent rapped his head. “You fool, Mrs. Miller already thinks highly of him.


    “We don’t have concrete evidence, so do you think that Mrs. Miller would believe you?


    “To counter people like him, you have to be even more devious than them.”


    Ethan spoke up. “He came for Liv, so he wouldn’t stop at just two incidents. Keep an eye on him. There


    may be more surprises.


    ”


    Putting out thest cigarette, Ethan turned and left.


    Kevin wanted to say something but decided against it.


    Brent patted him on the shoulder, saying, “Keep your mouth sealed. Don’t reveal anything to Mrs.


    Miller.


    “There’s more to that man than meets the eye, but Mr. Miller is nomon person, either.”


    Kevin replied, “I know, Brent. Mr. Miller is letting that man go on purpose so that he can capture the


    manter. He’s waiting now so that he can reap greater rewardster.”


    “Good, looks like you know what’s going on. Keep a close eye on him. Don’t give the Toxic Hive any


    more chances to nt. spies.”


    Brent had been working with Ethan for many years. But he had never encountered such a tricky


    opponent before.


    Olivia’s kidnapping had started it all. If not, those people would’ve been in hiding for even longer.


    But Brent wasn’t too worried about this. The incident was already handed over to the surveince team.


    It would be a matter of time before the truth was discovered.


    One day, the truth woulde to light.


    Lying on the bed, Olivia didn’t feel sleepy at all. Her mind was filled with everything that had happened


    recently. She didn’t know about the progress of Ethan’s investigation, either..


    That ursed Ethan had his lips sealed. He didn’t even reveal a tiny bit of information.


    “It’s gettingte. You should go to sleep.” Ethan appeared at the entrance.


    “I can’t sleep.”


    Closing the door, Ethan spoke up. “I’ve already asked someone to dress his wounds and escort him


    away.


    “If you don’t believe me, you can always call him to ask about his whereabouts.”


    With that, Ethan handed her a new phone. “I had the card replicated. It’s the same number you used to


    have.”


    Olivia was stunned. “Weren’t you… nning to lock me up?”


    “To be honest, I wanted to.”


    Ethan didn’t even hesitate before admitting it. “Even in my dreams, I want to lock you up.


    You won’t be able to leave, and you won’t have to experience any more dangers.”


    At that, he smiled helplessly. “But I don’t want to turn your life into a tightrope performance. Just a slight


    mistake could’ve ended your life terribly.


    “Liv, I want to make it up to you. Can you give me another chance?”


    After hurting her so much, he was saying that he wanted to make it up to her.


    Even if he was beingpletely serious about it, she only had the urge tough.


    Olivia knew that Ethan was emotionally unstable, just like her. She didn’t want to provoke him.


    With her back facing him, shey down. She refused to answer his question. “I’m getting sleepy.”


    Ethan didn’t force her to answer, either. He turned off the lights in the room. Then, his low voice rang


    out above Olivia’s head.


    “Liv, we have all the time in the world. We have a long way ahead of us.


    “You can take your time to think about it. Or, you don’t even have to reply. Just watch me.”


    Olivia thought, “A long way ahead,’ he said.”


    That was the funniest joke she had ever heard in her life.
