At the dining table, Otto took Ethan's hand and said sincerely, "I don't have much time left, Ethan.
"Originally, the grandson-in-law I was most keen on having was you, but in the end, things weren't
meant to be between you and Marina. Now that things have come to this point, I won't ask for too
much.
"I just hope that you won't attack the Carltons, even if it's just because of the connection between our
families. Please give us as much support as you can."
When Otto said those words, Fabian gripped the wine glass tightly. But when Otto looked at him, he put
on a fake friendly face.
Olivia once saw Fabian meeting up with Yale, so he must be on the Yale family's side. Hence, it made
sense that he would be upset with what Otto said.
"Fabian, you should learn from Ethan."
Fabian held the wine glass, looking quite guilty indeed. "You're right, Grandpa. Mr. Miller, I'm counting
on your guidance."
Ethan's gaze swept over him. There was a deep knowing look in his eyes as he said, "I won't say no to
that."
Marina raised her glass at him. "Ethan, I'll be getting surgery tomorrow. Can you come?"
Ethan had rejected her countless times, so she wasn't sure what Ethan's reply would be. Hence, there
was a slight awkwardness in her voice and movements.
Olivia was the one performing the surgery, and Ethan wanted to get closer to Olivia.
He couldn't enter the Heath residence as he wished anyway, so he said, "Sure."
Marina was elated. "Ethan, I'll be so reassured to know that you're around."
Fabian looked at Marina's excited expression, feeling like a thousand gnats were gnawing at his heart.
The jealousy almost consumed him.
Olivia watched all this quietly. Fabian truly loved Marina to the core, but sadly, Marina only had eyes for
Ethan.
It was quite an interesting situation.
Swirling the wine in the glass, Olivia took a sip of the wine.
Ethan watched the movement on her neck as she swallowed, feeling a little hot inside.
He hadn't touched her in days.
Olivia was like an addictive poison to him, and he was already deeply addicted to her. He couldn't
break free from her at all.novelbin
"Erina, take me to the bathroom," Marina asked Erina in a small voice.
"Okay."
But Fabian stood up first. "Let me do it. The bathroom on the ground floor is under maintenance, so I'll
take you to the one outside."
When Marina saw Fabian's face, she was terrified. "I-It's okay. I don't really feel like going anyway. I
won't trouble you."
"It's okay. We're all family here. Don't be shy." Getting up, Fabian said gently to the others, "We'll be
right back. Enjoy the meal."
With that, he went out the door with Marina. Two minutes later, Olivia found an excuse to go out as
well.
As expected, outside the bathroom in the garden, Olivia heard Fabian's dark voice speaking. "You
wench, how else do you want me to treat you?
"I've already given you everything, but you still only have eyes for Ethan. How despicable can you be?
Has he even spared you a glance?"
"Fabian, let go! Let go of me right now!" Marina struggled.
Through the half-closed door, Olivia saw Fabian setting Marina on the basin. His gentle face was now
tinted with a ferocious look.
"Do you realize how despicable you are? Aside from me, who else in this world will fall for you?"
Marina's struggling hands were raised above her head. At the same time, a drunken voice rang in
Olivia's ears. "What are you looking at, Liv?"
Olivia almost jumped in fright.
Ethan pinned her against the tree trunk and whispered in her ear, "What's the fun in watching others do
it? Would you like to experience it yourself, hm?"
