The pent-up anger overwhelmed Olivia as she glared at Ethan. "It's not like I'm your only woman. "Why does it have to be me? Marina is just right downstairs. Should I call her over?""It's because you're the only one for me!" he said aloud in his head.However, that answer was buried deep in his heart. He tightened his grasp around her waist, inhaling a deep breath.He said, "Must you put up a fight with me over this kind of matter?"Olivia barely suppressed the urge to tell him how much he disgusted her.

You don't care about Marina, but now you care about a janitor?""Since when did Miller Group provide such good employee welfare?"Ethan was cutting his steak into pieces as he answered indifferently, "Stephanie is different.

There is no evidence or witness. It's just a speculation of my father's motive."Ethan shoved the plates off the table.The warmth on his face gave way to coldness. He seemed to be the man he was from three months ago.Before Olivia could explain her stance further, he stood up and looked at her intimidatingly."Firstly, a DNA test was done on that body. It was my sister. "Secondly, I've done another DNA test between the baby in her womb and your father. They were genetically related."Thirdly, I've looked into what happened to Leia before her death. "Be it her contact history or other records. Jeff was the person she contacted the most."Lastly, the final person she met was Jeff, too. Who else could it be other than him?"If you're demanding a witness, are you going to ask for a medical miracle so th
