Chapter 357
Olivia was rendered speechless. In such a situation, Colin would’ve died if he had drawn his firearm toolate. No one would’ve been using a melee weapon.
Colin didn’t tell her anything about what went down. He casually summed up what happened in a singlesentence.novelbin
Looking at the footage and thinking about Colin’s innocent face, Olivia felt a chill run down her spine.
She didn’t expect the man she trusted to be so ruthless.
“If he wasn’t hurt from that incident, where did the wound come from?”
Ethan held Olivia’s chin in place with his finger. “Liv, do you really not know why he did that? Hasn’t healways been the innocent, gentle, and caring young man in your eyes? If he got hurt for your sake,wouldn’t you feel guilt and remorse?”
Olivia blinked, but she wasn’t able to deny what Ethan said.
He continued, “Just because he’s young, it doesn’t mean he’s not manipulative. If I hadn’t utilizedextraordinary means, he would’ve gotten you out of the country. I wouldn’t have been able to find youthen.”
Ethan saw that Olivia was silent, so he showed her the security footage from another angle.
“I’ve reviewed footage of the incident several dozens of times. This person should be Colin.”
Everyone’s faces were concealed. It couldn’t have been easy for Ethan to spot a man he wasn’t veryfamiliar with in such a chaotic scene.
Olivia looked at where Ethan was pointing and saw a man with a slender build. He looked tinier
than the people around him.
That was the body of a younger man who hadn’t fully developed yet. She saw the man take severalshots. Olivia previously learned how to shoot a gun from Jack for some time. She could
tell how good Colin’s marksmanship was.
Olivia had no words to defend him when she saw him aim at a nurse and open fire without
hesitation.
She couldn’t see his expression, but she could imagine that he must have looked emotionless.
Jack had told her before that shooters must remain calm when opening fire, or their hands would shakeand they would miss their target.
If Colin had even a little compassion, his aim wouldn’t have been so accurate. Every single shot

was on point.
Olivia suddenly realized she had learned nothing about Colin during their time together.
“Do you still think he’s a kind young man after seeing this?”

Olivia was speechless. It was apparent that her worldview was shattered from the tears that streameddown her face.
Ethan placed his hands on her shoulders and said patiently, “Liv, that person has been harboringmalicious intent since your first meeting with him. Do you remember the time he was drugged on thecruise ship? I checked the security footage after the incident.
“He saw Calista spiking the drink, but he still drank it. Why do you think he did that?
“Liv, you’ve lived a sheltered life. You’ve never seen true darkness. So you’ll never understand howterrifying humans can be.”
Olivia’s eyes were emotionless. Staring at Ethan, she asked, “So you knew there was something wrongsince then?”
“Yes, but I didn’t want to alert him. I wanted to use him to get to bigger fish. Even though he wascautious, I caught him off guard and discovered Toxic Hive’s underground base. I brought people tocapture the people there. He got angry and shot me.”
“Wait, Colin is part of Toxic Hive?”
“Yes.”
Olivia recalled the woman saying that Leo was going to settle the score. She realized that the personshe had been looking for was hidden next to her all this time. Colin was Leo.
She slumped back into the chair with a lifeless expression. She murmured, “So he lied to me, and youlied to me too. Everyone’s been playing me. I’m the only idiot here. Every one of you tricked me…”
