Emotional, Olivia violently grabbed Marina’s hair. “Isn’t Ethan a loyal, perfect man? Aren’t you hisprecious sweetheart? I’m sure everyone would love to hear that he has an ex–wife, and you’re nothingbut a heartless, sly woman! I have all the evidence!”
She knew her threat was unlikely to affect the untouchable Ethan, who’d never cared what anyone elsethought about him.
However, Marina had worked hard for her achievements, and her reputation was everything to her.Hence, the threat effectively made her quiver in fear.
“Alright, alright, I got it. Well, it’s just Fordham residence. I’ll give it back to you. Just keep the knifeaway from me.”
“One last thing: if you dare to trouble my friend, I will ruin your reputation. You’re a smart woman, Ms.Carlton. I’m sure you understand that it’s not worth losing everything over such petty matters.”
Before this, Olivia used to think that engaging in such petty fights was unbecoming of her. Now all thatmattered was the satisfaction that it brought her.novelbin
Marina felt like her scalp was about to be ripped off her head. Her gloating behavior had vanished intothin air, now replaced by desperation instead.
“Yes, yes. I’ll listen to everything you say. The knife, please… My neck hurts.”

Sometimes, Ethan would video call Connor through the nanny’s phone. Hence, the nanny had nochoice but to call Ethan.
When it came to Connor, Ethan always answered his calls immediately. The moment the callconnected, he was greeted by the sight of Connor’s bloodshot eyes. He looked like an albino rabbit.

Ethan wondered what caused Connor to cry like that. After all, he barely cried even when he fell. “Whathappened?” Ethan
asked.
“Sorry, Mr. Miller. Connor started acting strangely when a guest arrived and insisted on clinging to her.He started crying after I took him away.” Since the nanny was Ethan’s employee, she didn’t withholdany information from him.
“A guest?” Connor hardly ever initiated going near anyone. He wouldn’t even show Marina anyaffection.
“I think they called her Ms. Fordham,” the nanny answered, oblivious to Olivia and Ethan’s relationship.
Just then, Connor rushed to the window as if he’d made a new discovery.
The nanny trailed after him, calling out to him. Since they were on the second floor, they could seeOlivia, who was wiping her hair with a wet towel.
The sight of her filled Connor with excitement. Sprawled on the floor–to–ceiling window, he repeatedlycried, “Mom! Mom!
