With trembling hands, Ethan picked up the wedding ring and the letter. The act of opening a letter was so simple, but his hands kept trembling as if he had Parkinson's.

Brent said in a low voice, "Mr. Miller, let me do it."

It didn't matter that much whether he read the letter or not. Everyone had already guessed the ending.

Still, Ethan took out the letter in terror and agony. The familiar handwriting came into sight.

In the past, she would write him letters in secret when he was out on business trips. She didn't know the address, so she would put the words she wanted to say into a bottle and then bury it in the garden.

After he discovered it by accident, every time he came back, the first thing he would do was to go to that secret hole and dig around to check if there was new mail.

Back then, she wrote like an adorable teenage girl. But this letter was different. Not many words were written on it, but every stroke conveyed farewell.

"Ethan, it's too painful to live. I don't wa

    In the Miller residence, the man on the bed moved his fingers. Then, he shouted, "Liv!"Opening his eyes, he sat up and looked around him in terror.Janice sighed in relief. "You're finally awake. You've been unconscious for three whole days."Ethan's memories were still stuck at the beach. He hastily asked, "Mom! Liv, did you find Liv?"Janice's heart ached. She didn't dare tell him the ending."Ethan, please prepare yourself for this. Olivia is … She is …""No, that can't be! Liv can't be dead!" Ethan couldn't accept the truth.He got out of bed bare-footed and then ran outside the door."Liv, where are you? Are you avoiding me? Liv, stop hiding!"Ethan searched the place, feeling desperate and lost. He walked into the bedroom on the first floor. Everything in the room remained the same as when Olivia left.The clean bedding was neatly folded. The flowers in the vase were the ones picked from the yard a week ago. The flowers had wilted, their heads drooping as if life had b

    Once again, Ethan went back to the sea. Kelvin and Brent looked exhausted. They had shifts, but they hadn't rested much in the past few days. There were dark circles under their eyes.They were all too aware of how important Olivia was to Ethan. They had added countless men to this operation, and they were using all their resources to look for Olivia.When they saw Ethan, they hastily went up to him. "Mr. Miller."Ethan's eyes were red. He was wearing a black suit, but he didn't look as upright as he used to be. He looked more haggard instead.When he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse. "Did you find anything?"Brent shook his head. "Not for now. The area Mrs. Miller disappeared in is a little complicated. Back then, she encountered an offshore current, and she was brought far out to sea."The area over there happens to be a fault zone, and it's more than 300 feet deep. The visibility isn't too great either, so it's more difficult to salvage anything there."Ethan clenched his

    Ethan glanced at the stars in the sky. A helpless smile appeared on his face."Even if she didn't die and I brought her back after finding her, history is only going to repeat itself. I'll only be making her sad again."If I let her stay with me, she'll be like flowers in a vase, which will wilt in no time. Perhaps … she'll live a better life if I let her go."Kelvin and Brent were in disbelief when they heard Ethan saying those words."Mr. Miller, are you truly willing to let Mrs. Miller go?""In the past, I always wanted her to stay with me. But accidents kept happening, and Liv now hates me to the core. If this is what she truly wants, then I'll let her have her way."Ethan sighed."Those are all my speculations, and I don't have any evidence to back them up. For now, verify if she's still alive. Check her phone location and Keith's movements in the past week. Remember, don't alert them.""Understood, Mr. Miller.""Would you like to go back first?"Ethan shook his head. "I

    Brent said, "I feel like you've changed, Mr. Miller.""In the past, I always thought that my arrangements were the best decisions for her. But in reality, I've hurt her time and again. Moreover, it's not a bad thing for Liv to fake her death."She can fool me and also her enemy, so this can indeed be the safest route for her. She doesn't have to constantly worry about being assassinated."Brent said, "So, Mr. Miller, other than putting on this act to deceive Mrs. Miller, you're also trying to fool the enemy.""Only then can we have more time to investigate. This is the time when that person will let down their guard. But before that, I have something to do.""What is it?""I have to clear some obstacles."News of Olivia dying from her incurable disease quickly spread. Olivia's funeral was held tonight, and almost everyone from the upper-class society attended it.Janice's eyes were red. She quite liked this daughter-in-law of hers, but sadly, Olivia passed away too early.Haro

    Ethan didn't dodge. Stepping forward, Brent separated Everly from Ethan. "Please calm down, Ms. Hilton. Things have turned out like this, but Mr. Miller never wanted it to happen."It was Mrs. Miller herself who chose this path. Mr. Miller is already sad enough as it is."Everly couldn't hold it in. With tears running down her face, she howled, "You jerk. Liv was already recovering, but you must've provoked her again. Liv is so unlucky to have met you."She stepped around Brent. She was wearing high heels, so she was only half a head shorter than Ethan. She grabbed Ethan's collar with both hands."What crimes did Liv commit that you had to treat her like that?"Ethan lowered his gaze, saying calmly, "She never did anything wrong. I'm the one at fault."Everly was pissed, but now that things had turned out like this, she couldn't do anything about it.It wouldn't make a difference even if she killed Ethan. Olivia would not be coming back.But she couldn't just hold in her fury.

    Everyone was startled at the loud sound of flesh hitting the tiles.This wasn't paying respects, this was attempted murder!Was Ethan crazy? What had the woman done to him that he would be so cruel toward her?Leia probably never expected this. She was just here to look on, but she was found out in the end. Also, the one who did this to her was her older brother, whom she cared about the most.In her competition with Olivia, she had always been the one Ethan chose.Last time, he even injured Olivia's hand for her sake.So how did things turn out like this?Leia's head was spinning from the impact. The skin on her head was also in a bloody mess.Did Ethan know how hard she had worked just to get her current appearance?"You must have gotten the wrong person, Mr. Miller! I've never done anything to you. Why would you treat me like this?" Leia lowered her voice on purpose, but she couldn't hide the hoarseness in it.Even if her face could be restored, she couldn't fix her voice,

    Ethan already had a lead. He was about 70% sure that Olivia was still alive and that he could soon find out where she was right now.His expression remained unaffected as he said, "Thanks."Keith met Ethan's gaze. Ethan's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he had lost a lot of weight. Keith could see that for the past few days, every single second had been torture to him.The people who attended the funeral found it weird. Never mind someone bleeding at the funeral, the Miller family didn't even stop Ethan, allowing him to continue kneeling.There was a great meaning behind a man prostrating himself, and it was only reserved for the most reverent of times.But now, Ethan was kneeling to pay respects to his wife. He was even kneeling for a long time, refusing to get up.Time ticked by, and the sky grew dark. Unable to endure it any longer, Leia fainted.Janice hastily went forward. "That's enough, Ethan."Ethan looked at Leia. The blood on her forehead had already clotted,

    After what happened last time, Leia was filled with fear toward Ethan. She subconsciously trembled.Janice thought that Ethan had vented enough. After all, Leia had been unconscious for a whole day, and the medical team Ethan hired had taken extra care of her during that period."Kid, Leia has just woken up. You're scaring her like this."Ethan glanced at her calmly. "Mom, did you think that the matter of her hurting Liv would end here?"Janice's expression shifted as well. She warily stood in front of Leia, blocking Ethan's sharp gaze."Look, her head is already injured. Even if she did something bad to Liv in the past, isn't this enough to make up for it?"Janice liked Olivia, and she pitied their marriage. But Leia was her daughter, after all.The human heart was made of flesh, not stone. If Janice had to choose between her deceased daughter-in-law and her daughter, of course, she would choose her daughter.Sneering, Ethan hobbled up to Leia.He had knelt for so long that h

    Warren's pale face showed a hint of pleading. "Olivia, we've gotten to know each other better in the past two years. Have you ever loved me?"Hatred was evident in Olivia's cold eyes. "Never. I pray for your death every single second of my life.""I knew it." He smiled at that embittering answer. Karma had always been there. Another sound of a gunshot surprised the birds. A pool of blood splashed over the flowers. Warren stared at the picture on the gravestone. "Mona, I've returned everything that I owe you…"Olivia's gaze alternated between the two bodies.

    "Avery, what happened?" Olivia inquired.She had no clue what was happening and didn't dare to go anywhere close to Louis. The only person who she got close to was Avery."Stay away, Olivia! It's too dangerous!" Avery yelled worriedly. Louis shifted his gaze to Olivia. "My experiment is going to be successful soon. That's Natalie's descendant.

People were coming to the island!What happened?Was Louis in danger?Although Louis wished to transform her into a cyborg, she hoped he could live regardless.

A lot of people came to the island, but I don't think it's a big issue for now," Ethan reminded her.He bet that the ships were loaded with ammunition. Still, the buildings on the island were intact, and nothing seemed to be destroyed. She disagreed, "No, there should

He could walk like a normal person, and he didn't have to pretend to be a cripple anymore. Troy would need more time to heal, but he was making progress.David clearly seemed better than he was before Olivia left. Everyone could still hardly believe that Jacqueline almost killed everyone in the family all by herself. When Olivia returned, David asked with concern, "Olivia, Avery said that you were cursed. How are you feeling right now?""Don't worry, Dad. I'm all better now. But we think that Jacqueline's dead in the sea," she assured.He hugged her. "It's alright.

    Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this. Growing up in a slum where all kinds of people lived… People like them had never really owned anything anyway, so they wouldn't feel the pain of loss…Ever since his wife passed away, Wendell didn't really care much about Alexander's upbringing. Wendell was merely generous when it came to spending money on Alexander. But once he reunited with his son, he realized how much it could hurt to be a parent. If that marriage arrangement was Wayne's wish, Wendell was hell-bent on making it happen.…Olivia was watching the sunset painting colors to the horizon by the seashore.

    Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior. It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family. If it were any ordinary woman, Wendell wouldn't have minded it. But the person he insisted on marrying was none other than Olivia! She was a divorced woman with four kids!On top of that, Olivia's ex-husband was Wendell's nephew! The divorced couple was somewhat entangled with each other too.Ethan and Wayne were both dear to him. What should he do? Wendell was at his wit's end. Ignoring Wendell's dilemma, Wayne handed him a cigarette. But Wendell refused, "I quit it."Wayne lit a cigarette and squatted on the ground.

    Wendell had been frail all his life. He never imagined that his biological son would have been missing for so many years. What surprised him more was that Wayne had grown up well despite hardships. Still, there seemed to be something off about this son of his.They were father and son who had been separated for years. Now that the truth was revealed, shouldn't they be hugging each other in tears of joy? Why did Wayne show no joy in reuniting with his father but seemed interested in his identity as the son of the Procter family—or more precisely, the marriage arrangement between the Procter family and the Fordham family?""Son, things are a bit complicated right now. We need to take our time to discuss this thoroughly—""Am I not your son?" Wayne's restless temperament was exactly the same as his mother's. There was no chance of dissuading him.
