Chapter 162
Everyone tensed up. It was just a noise Ethan made with his mouth, but the youth was already frowning deeply.
Ethan let go of the gun, a look of approval coloring his eyes. “Not bad. You’re quite the man. Still, no one can replace his life.”
Ethan walked toward Jack. Just then, Jack swiftly took out his gun and aimed it at Ethan’s forehead.
“Don’t move!” Guns were pointed at Jack from all sides. The man had been waiting for a chance to make his move.
“If my lowly life can be exchanged for Mr. Miller’s, then it doesn’t seem like a bad deal.” A rare smile appeared under Jack’s
mask.
He looked at Olivia with an earnest look that seemed to say, “From today onward, you’ll be free.”
Jack knew very well that as soon as he fired the gun, bullets from all sides would come at him as well. He had nowhere to run.
Olivia was stunned. No one could’ve expected this turn of events.
She had known Jack for only two weeks. She couldn’t allow him to die for her.
“No, don’t shoot!” Olivia ran toward the two in a crazed manner.
Ethan, who had a gun aimed at his head, didn’t seem to be scared. Instead, maniacal enthusiasm could be seen in his eyes.
“Why don’t we make a bet and see who survives?”
Olivia shouted, “Don’t shoot, Jack. Please, don’t shoot!”
As soon as he fired the gun, no one would know how things would turn out. But she was sure that only tragedy awaited them.
Before Jack could shoot, Olivia was already standing between the two.
“If you two are going to shoot, then you should kill me first.”
Ethan frowned, upset at Olivia’s sudden interruption. “Take her away.”

The sea breeze lifted the ends of her clothes. A few strands of her hair, which he had tucked behind her ears, came loose and
covered her forehead.
The sunlight gave his body a warm glow. She couldn’t believe that she had caught sight of tenderness in Ethan’s eyes. Was she dreaming?
Not daring to doubt his intentions, Olivia hastily placed her hand in his palm.
As their fingertips touched, he tugged at her. She fell into his embrace.
“We’re going home.”
His cold words dashed Olivia’s imagination to pieces. She had no choice but to follow him.
