Chapter 603
Brent looked a little panicked. This matter could either be a trivial issue or a huge incident.
Professional assassins would usually lay out the plan beforehand. They would calculate precisely howthey would kill the person and deal with the body.
They would never expose themselves, nor would they leave any fingerprints.
Kelvin was an easygoing person, so that was why he ended up shouldering the blame.
“Mr. Miller, that jerk was wearing gloves. There are no fingerprints or any surveillance footage. Kelvinalso happened to be at the scene. Even worse, rumors are starting to appear on the internet.”
Ethan rubbed his wedding ring. In contrast to Brent’s urgency, Ethan looked more calm and reserved.
“What rumors?”
“Someone posted about the incident between Mrs. Miller and Mara. They claimed that we abuse ourpower Even news of Mara’s death is making the rounds.

“She’s not too famous, but she made quite a fuss shortly before her death. Also, Kelvin was found atthe crime scene. People started hinting that we’re the ones behind Mara’s death.
“After the news gained traction, they’re now convinced that we’re the ones who did it. Should I settlethis right away?”
Ethan lit a cigarette. “Tell the PR department not to deal with any rumors at the moment.”
“Why? Things have snowballed to this extent in such a short time. If we drag this out, it’s going toinfluence Miller Group’s reputation and share prices even more.”
“Two reasons. Firstly, it has already gotten out of control. People will only think that we’re feeling guiltyif we spend money to suppress the matter.
“Before any evidence is found, no one will believe what the PR department says.
“Secondly, we don’t know if someone planned this or if it was a mere coincidence. If we fight backrecklessly, we might fall into the trap the enemy laid out beforehand. That’ll drag us into the pit.”
Brent knew that Ethan was right, but he was still worried about Kelvin.
“Then what should we do now?”
“Look up information on Mara. We’ve never had anything to do with her, so it doesn’t make sense thatshe would cause trouble for us. Look into her family background and past experiences.”
“Understood.”
Ethan puffed out some white smoke through his thin lips. “Investigate Warren too.”
They couldn’t be more familiar with that name. Warren was the main culprit behind the incident thatcaused Olivia’s premature childbirth. Many of Ethan’s men were lost in that incident.
Brent’s gaze instantly turned cold. “So, Warren was the janitor?”
“I wasn’t sure about it before, but now, I’m convinced.”
After the incident, Ethan researched Warren’s past in detail.
Even though Warren escaped by luck that night, his leg was injured. He wouldn’t have been able torecover in such a short
time.
In the past few days, Ethan had already issued a warrant for him on the dark web. But there were notraces to be found.
When he passed by the man just now, Ethan noticed that something was off. That was why he askedKelvin to take a look. He didn’t expect things to turn out like this.
“Why would Warren kill an unknown celebrity? Didn’t the Black Ravens cancel their bounty on Mrs.Miller already?
“He put in so much effort to make this happen, but the most he can do is affect Miller Group a little.Assassins are only ever in charge of killing people. What does this have to do with him?”
“We can’t say for sure.” Ethan rubbed between his eyebrows. He had a feeling that Warren wasn’ttargeting Olivia.
Too many accidents happened today. No one would’ve expected Olivia to go to the bathroom at thatmoment.
If she had gone a little earlier or later, she wouldn’t have bumped into them.
“Send someone from the police to ask around. Even if Kelvin appeared at the crime scene, no one hasany evidence that he’s the one who did it. He won’t be charged for now. We still have time.”
“Understood.”
It was late in the night.
Olivia was about to go to sleep when she received a news notification on her phone.
When she tapped on it, she saw a blurred photo of Mara’s corpse.
