Chapter 697
Ethan didn’t stop for a moment at all. Even though it was late at night, he showed no sign of exhaustion
The thought of living a happy life with Olivia after catching the mastermind spurred him to rush toSeaside Streets as soon as possible.
The car was driven in the darkness at full pelt.
There were a lot of cars on the street, carrying hundreds of people who then surrounded the wholemansion
Ethan alighted from the car hurriedly before dashing over.
The smell of trees and blood lingered in the salty sea breeze that brushed past those men’s faces.
They worked for Ethan.
“What’s the situation?” asked Ethan anxiously.
Cyril walked out of the crowd. “Mr. Miller, that person was injured and jumped off the sea. Kelvin andthe others are after him.”
Ethan’s brows knitted, not expecting such an accident after making so much preparation for it.novelbin
“Take me there.”
Karma always found its way to its prey.
Previously, Olivia was forced to jump into the sea; now, it was the mastermind’s turn.
“Did you see that person’s face?” inquired Ethan.
Pursing his lips, Cyril looked hesitant. “We had the wrong idea the whole time. Rubus isn’t a man but awoman.”
“A woman?”
“Yes. I’m not sure if I’m mistaken, but Rubus looks like someone from the back…”
“Like who?”
“Like Ms. Miller.”
Ethan failed to control his expression at that. “What did you say?”
“Of course, I’m not saying that she’s Ms. Miller. They look similar based on their heights and physiques.We didn’t see her face.”
Ethan tightened his fists, and veins protruded along his arms.
He closed his eyes. Memories of their farewell in the mountain filled his mind.
Leia had her back to him, asking him to pretend that he didn’t have a sister because there was noturning back for her.
But why?
Previously, she had been hiding in secrecy by Ethan’s side. She became a janitor and protected him.
If she plotted all of this, why would she think of killing him too?
Ethan’s instinct told him that there was no way Leia would do that. But judging from her motives, therewas enough reason for her to do that.
Leia resented Olivia, so Leia might’ve begun hating him because of that.
“Could it really be her?” he wondered.
He gazed at the sea under the somber sky. Like a beast, the sea was swallowing everything.
Ethan felt empty as though someone had dug his heart out.
He initially thought that the mastermind had something to do with Olivia’s family background.
But could it be that he had gone in the wrong direction since the beginning?
The morning sun rose. Today was Harold’s birthday banquet. The maids had gotten busy early in themorning.
Olivia didn’t have a good night’s sleep. It could be because she was worried about Ethan or that
Darrell’s words had made her uneasy.
Her stomach ached from time to time the whole night.
She figured that she couldn’t wait anymore. She decided to take an endoscopy test after Harold’sbirthday banquet.
It was early in the morning, but her complexion looked bad. She covered her eyebags with foundation.
She checked her phone, but there were still no messages or calls from Ethan.
“Is he still not going to come back today?” she wondered.
Compared to Olivia’s concern, Janice appeared rather happy.
She had changed into a cocktail dress and tied her hair into a bun before complementing it withaccessories.
She was already slim to begin with, but the dress embraced her body and defined each of her curves.
She didn’t look like a mother with two adult sons.
Despite the plain dress, Olivia felt that Janice was cool after giving up on love.
