Chapter 159
Olivia knew that she wouldn’t be able to escape this time. So, she stopped being wary like she used to. Looking Ethan in the eye, she spoke in a sterner tone.
“I hate how arrogant and inconsistent you are. You’re the one who didn’t want me anymore, but you’re also the one who refuses to let me go now.
“You said that my father owes you for your sister’s life. Now, the Fordhams have gone bankrupt, and my father is constantly in critical condition. I’ve also sacrificed my marriage and my child.
“Is this still not enough for you? If so, then just take my life as well.”
When she said that, she noticed Ethan’s gaze turning colder. In reality, Olivia felt quite nervous. Her heart pounded along with her worked–up emotions.
She continued, “When you’re in a good mood, you give me one billion dollars and allow me to leave. When you’re in a bad mood, you turn around and start looking for me again.
“Ethan, I’m human, not some toy in your hand. Do you know why I’d rather stay on a remote island instead of going back to the bustling city?
“Because everyone here treats me like a human! They respect me and help me find meaning in life.”
Ethan tightened his grip. To him, Olivia had simply fallen for someone else.
“Just because he was slightly nicer to you, you’d do anything for him? You even betrayed me and forgot all about our contract. You’re as naive as always.”
Olivia frowned. “What is wrong with this man?” she thought.
“I don’t-”
“Do you know his identity? Are you aware of his intentions? Nothing in this world is free. You should know what happens when a moth flies toward a flame.”
Olivia was upset with the way Ethan described Jack. “Yes, I don’t know his past or his identity, but there’s one thing I know. Unlike you, he won’t hurt me!”
“Ethan, please don’t do it. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”
She wanted to take his hand, but Ethan grabbed hers first. Then, he dragged her outside.
Jack was surrounded by several men. He didn’t dare move a muscle. He feared that even a slightly heavier breath from him would give them a reason to pull the trigger.
He had always been good with enduring. He knew that Ethan wanted to make an example of him. If not, Ethan would’ve attacked him on sight.
He was waiting for a chance to fight. But now wasn’t the time.
When he saw Olivia being taken into the room, he didn’t know what sort of terrors she would have to go through again. He was anxious, but he mustn’t make any reckless moves.
