    Chapter 320


    Ethan’s expression looked extra serious under the glow of the fireflies.


    Licking her dry lips, Olivia asked softly, “Ethan, is Marina someone you fancied on a whim? Or is she


    your one true love?” Ethan chuckled in exasperation. “If she’s my one true love, why would I marry


    you? Liv, do you not know how I feel about you?


    He had hurt her, but he had also treated her well. If not, she wouldn’t have hesitated to let go of him.


    “So you fancied her on a whim just to provoke me?”


    It had been two years. Their marriage was already over, but she still wanted an exnation.


    Ethan embraced her. Olivia could hear him sighing next to her


    ear.


    “Liv, I’ll tell you everything between me and Marina, but not now. Can you trust me onest time?”


    As if fearing rejection, Ethan added, “Don’t believe what the others said about Marina being my true


    love. To me, she’s just a younger sister who grew up in my social circle. But…”

    He suddenly looked up. He locked eyes with Olivia, saying, “I do have one true love in my heart, but


    she’s not Marina. She’s”


    Olivia met Ethan’s passionate gaze. Her heart thumped wildly.


    Petals and fireflies danced around the two. The ce was extremely beautiful. It even blurred her


    hatred and disgust toward Ethan.


    Ethan was about to say something when the phone in his pocket started vibrating.


    The ind was silent, and even the birds had gone to roost. Only the vibrating sounds could be heard.


    “Go ahead and answer it,” Olivia said indifferently.


    Ethan nced at his phone. It was a call from Brent.


    If Brent was calling him at this hour, there must be something important going on.


    Ethan answered the call. “Hello?”


    “Bad news, Mr. Miller.”


    Ethan didn’t know which aspect Brent was referring to. ncing at Olivia, he stepped aside and talked


    over the phone.


    The sea breeze cleared Olivia’s heated mind a little.


    Scoffing, she turned around and left.


    Now that things hade to this point, it shouldn’t matter to her who Ethan’s true love was.


    When Ethan ended the call, he wanted to continue the conversation just now. But Olivia had


    disappeared.


    Only the dancing fireflies remained. The fireflyntern was left on the cobblestone path.


    Ethan rushed back to look for Olivia. Olivia was leaning against the headboard, reading a book. She


    didn’t even nce at him


    when he entered.


    “I’m sorry, Liv. I have to go.”


    Ethan’s voice was urgent. “I promise I’ll go diving with you next time.”


    Olivia flipped a page. Then, she said nonchntly, “Okay.”


    Sitting by the bed, Ethan took her hand and spoke earnestly, “I know you hate me for trapping you on


    this ind.


    “Liv, I don’t want to lie to you. Putting my selfish desires aside, I just want you to be safe. I found out


    that those people were involved with the Toxic Hive.”


    It was only then that the look in Olivia’s eyes flickered. “The Toxic Hive?”


    “It’s an international drug organization made up of wanted criminals from various nations. They aren’t


    nice people, Liv.


    “They could do anything to get conclusive results. That includes conducting experiments at the risk of


    thousands of lives.


    “They spread out in various nations, but they also delve deep. They’re connected to many business


    empires.


    “Some higher-ups even want to establish illegal partnerships with them. They would get more money


    that way. In return, they would provide the Toxic Hive with convenience and protection.”


    Olivia was shocked. It was no wonder that she couldn’t dig up anything on the Toxic Hive at all. The


    organization was simply too powerful.


    “I suspect that they are working with people from our country as well. So I couldn’t be contacted when I


    was trying to determine their whereabouts.


    “Liv, I don’t know why they joined Miller Group. Miller Group has been working fine for the past few


    years, not to mention there aren’t any financial problems. That’s why I never noticed they were there.


    “But they are hostile toward you. That’s why I don’t want you to go back. There’s another important


    reason as well.”
