“Mr. Miller, you’ve been busy with work these days. You’re even losing your sleep and appetite overMrs. Miller. Your injuries haven’t completely healed yet. What will we do if you collapse?” Brent said.
Ever since Ethan’s identity was exposed in the dark web, Miller Group had also taken a hit.
The company had a lot of subsidiaries. Recently, a lot of them, such as the real estate arm and theF&B arm, experienced some trouble.
Some people were manipulating things from the shadows. They were from all sorts of shadowyorganizations.
When running a business, the scariest threats came from the ones hiding in the dark. Even Bryan hadreceived word of what was happening.
“If this goes on, your losses will be overwhelming. What’s your next move?”
“You know me. It’s going to be an eye for an eye. I’ll make them pay a hundred times over.”
Ethan sneered. “He knows I have the dirt on those people. He’ll only lose if this goes on. That’s why hegot desperate and tried to make a move on the Miller family and Liv.
“But he didn’t expect me to let Liv go free. So, even I don’t know where she is. Needless to say, no oneelse knows. Without my biggest weakness, what else can he possibly do?”novelbin
Initially, everything was part of the plan. Sending Olivia away meant he could do whatever he neededto without any reservations.
The only uncertainty was Jack. If Jack was on his side, he would emerge victorious. But if Jack hadulterior motives, he would be defeated because of Olivia.
“Not being able to find Olivia might not be a bad thing. We’ll only have to trust that Jack has no ill intent.
“If he really wanted to do anything malicious, he had many chances to do so in the past two years. Yourtwins were with him the whole time, but he didn’t do anything to them.”
Ethan sighed. “I hope so.”
He could only hope that everything would go as he had planned without any more accidents.
He thought, “Liv, you have to stay safe.”
As if sensing Ethan’s thoughts, Olivia woke up abruptly and gasped for breath. She actually heard theheart -wrenching cries of a baby in her dreams.
There was a person standing a short distance away from her. The mask was reflecting the moonlight.
The twins were sleeping next to Olivia. She placed a hand on her chest in fright.
“W-What do you need?”
Jack probably didn’t expect her to wake up.
Olivia couldn’t see his expression because his face was hidden behind the mask.
For some reason, maybe it was the dim lighting, Olivia felt like Jack was looking at her in a weird way.
“It’s nothing. I just heard you talking, so I came in to check. Were you having a nightmare?”
“Yeah.” Olivia wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She didn’t feel like sleeping anymore after sucha scare.
“Why don’t we step outside?”
She always had questions for Jack but never had the opportunity to ask. They finally had a moment ofpeace.
The insects were chirping outside. It was the middle of summer in the southern hemisphere.
The town was very poor, and it was especially obvious at night. It was dark everywhere, unlike the city.where lights were all around.
There was a lone lightbulb at the entrance of the town. Its dim light could only illuminate a small area,but it attracted a lot of moths.
“Is it cold?” Jack asked.
Olivia sat down on the steps of the door and looked at the starry night sky.
She shook her head and said, “I’m fine. Jack, doesn’t this feel like we were back on the island?”
“Yeah, when Tom and Jerry were still there.”
“I met Jerry some time ago. He’s about to go to university. He’s a promising kid and has a bright futureahead of him.
“I heard that Tom has been going out on missions. He’s a very impressive young man, too.”
Olivia was reminiscing.
“Jack, there’s a question I’ve been meaning to ask.”
