Chapter 100
Emotional, Olivia violently grabbed Marina’s hair. “Isn’t Ethan a loyal, perfect man? Aren’t you his precious sweetheart? I’m sure everyone would love to hear that he has an ex–wife, and you’re nothing but 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 else thought 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 knife away 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 that mattered was the satisfaction that it brought her.
Marina felt like her scalp was about to be ripped off her head. Her gloating behavior had vanished into thin air, now replaced by desperation instead.
“Yes, yes. I’ll listen to everything you say. The knife, please… My neck hurts.”
The edge of the knife blade was stained bright red with blood. While Olivia had exerted enough strength to make Marina‘ bleed, it was in no way life–threatening.
“Remember this pain. If this happens again, I will kill you right away.”
“Yes, I understand!” Trembling in fear, Marina decided to avoid this psycho in the future.
Finally, Olivia released her grip on Marina’s neck. Cursing her rotten luck, Marina kicked the maid aside as she headed upstairs to shower and get changed.
“A guest?” Connor hardly ever initiated going near anyone. He wouldn’t even show Marina any affection.
“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 see Olivia, 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 repeatedly cried, “Mom! Mom!
