“I looked into the provocative posts. The IP addresses are from different areas around the globe, butthey were posted at the same time. It’s the work of a professional hacker.”
“They could achieve so much in such a short time after the incident. They must be quite skilled.”
Brent’s expression stiffened. “Mr. Miller, are you suspecting the person behind the hiredassassination?”
“Yes. They could afford the 100 million dollars to hire up to a hundred people from The Black Ravens.They could also get hackers to direct the netizens right after the incident happened.novelbin
“Other than power and wealth, this person also has malicious intentions. They’re nowhere nearrighteous either.”
Ethan frowned deeply. After investigating it for so long, they still hadn’t found any clues.
The person was very careful, and they would prepare a way out beforehand every time. Even ifsomeone tried to investigate, they would only be met with an unrelated corpse in the end.
“Who did Mrs. Miller offend? Why would they try so hard to kill her?”
“They’re probably setting things up for the next part of their plan. We have to resolve the situation assoon as possible.”
Brent sighed. “They don’t have evidence to prove that Kelvin isn’t the culprit for now, but he was at thecrime scene, after all. Also, there’s a clear motive, so the police won’t let him off anytime soon.
“Warren must have gone into hiding by now. This is a dead end.”
Ethan responded, “That may not be the case. Since the incident started because of Mara, we have tolook into her history. We have to figure out who it was that paid for her to die.”
“But Mr. Miller, even if we find out who it was, they wouldn’t just admit that they had killed Mara, wouldthey?”
“No, but at least we’d have some grounds for negotiation. That person might have some evidence onhand.”
When Ethan said that, Brent’s eyes lit up. “I get it now. I’ll send someone to look into it right away. Marahad slept with a few men recently, so we should find something if we investigate their wives.”
“Yeah.”
Ethan rubbed between his eyebrows, feeling tired. Olivia’s enemy was far more skilled than he hadimagined. He decided that they should leave the country in secret.
He had just given some orders when Brent hurried in again.
“Bad news, Mr. Miller. Our chain shopping malls in various areas are in trouble.”
Ethan’s closed eyes immediately shot open. “Speak.”
“Mara’s fans have gathered around. They started causing trouble at the properties belonging to MillerGroup. Look.”
Some had splashed paint and waste on the signs. Some had even damaged the stores. More than tencases had already cropped up within an hour.
People were even holding banners, demanding apologies from Ethan and Olivia. Some even went tothe extreme, wanting the couple to compensate with their lives.
“How can an unpopular celebrity have so many fans? This can only mean that the second wave ofattacks has already started. The enemy is also aware of Mara’s identity.
“So, while we’re struggling to find evidence, they took the initiative to attack us.”
Brent said, “If this goes on, our losses will be huge! Some are even making use of the situation. Thosewho have been fearing Miller Group are also wreaking havoc in the shadows.
“They’re trying to take the opportunity to uproot Miller Group.”
Ethan leaped to his feet, slamming a hand on the desk. His handsome face was cold. “Hah, let’s seewhat they’re capable of. Someone is stirring up trouble on purpose.
“Our utmost priority right now is to stay calm. Send an announcement. If it’s necessary to involve thepolice, tell them to file a report. Compensate the lawyer teams if they ask for it.
“If anyone should be sent to jail, don’t miss out on even a single one of them!”
As soon as he had evidence, he could start his retaliation. He would take back double the things helost.
So, Ethan wasn’t panicking at all. He could even use the situation to find the rats causing troublebehind the scenes. He could clear all the obstacles before he went overseas.
“Of course, the most important mission is to tell Madam Burgess to keep an eye on Liv. Don’t let her goout. As long as Liv doesn’t reveal herself in public, I’ll be able to deal with this issue swiftly.”
“Understood.”
Brent dialed a bodyguard’s number. Then, his expression changed. “Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller went to amall with Madam Burgess not long ago.”
Damn it! Olivia didn’t have a phone, so she didn’t know how messed up things had become outside.
If she went out right now, she would only be targeted!
“Find out where they went. I’ll be right there.”
Ethan grabbed his coat and then hurriedly tried to leave. But when he opened the door, he saw policeofficers standing there expressionlessly.
“Mr. Miller, I’m the leader of the criminal investigation division, Xavier Harper. You’re suspected of beinginvolved in a murder case. Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation.”
