    for hele “I-I wanted to apany you for a while longer. I didn’t expect to hear you shouting when I


    reached the door.” Beads of sweat appeared on Mason’s forehead.


    “Olivia, I’m sorry, but I have to go. Ethan didn’t see my face just now, so he didn’t know I was the


    one who hit him. If I send him to the hospital, he’ll know that I’ve knocked him unconscious, and I’m


    scared. Please, take him to the hospital, and don’t tell him I was here. After that, Mason stumbled


    out.


    Olivia couldn’t help but frown as she watched Mason rush out the door. ‘What a coward.


    Ethan had inflicted so much pain on Olivia that when she got up, she kicked the unconscious Ethan


    a few times. Olivia tried to find a rope to tie him up tightly. Afterward, she took a fruit knife to protect


    herself, andstly, she drank some painkillers while waiting for Ethan to wake up.


    Half an hourter, Ethan woke up and found himself lying on the floor, unable to move. Olivia, with


    her face bruised, watched his movements from the sofa. Ethan looked at the cold knife in her hand


    and was scared. “You, what are you trying to do?”


    Olivia raised his hand and pped him. “Now you know fear, don’t you?”


    “B*tch, how dare you p me? Are you tired of living? Ethan shouted angrily.


    Olivia pointed the knife at Ethan’s cro*ch. “Threaten me once more and I’ll cut your chance of


    having a baby!”


    Ethan was scared. To him, being impotent was a worse fate than death. His p’nis was his


    his dignity as a man. “Don’t!”


    Olivia pped him again. “Then behave yourself!”


    Ethan gritted his teeth and looked at Olivia. She looked furious, She stepped on Ethan’s face and


    stomped on it. “Olivia, stop it it hurts!” Ethan screamed in pain.


    But Olivia shouted, “Why don’t you f*cking take a look at what you’ve done to me?”


    Ethan retorted, “Who the f*ck asked you to harm me? You almost got me killed by Gabriel! It took


    me a whole day to recover in the hospital.”


    Olivia was even angrier at his usation. “What exactly happened? Tell me!”


    “Didn’t you find a man named Mike and ask him toe to me for money? He rented a truck and a


    drum of gasoline to Gina’s car. You hired him to kill her, didn’t you? Or is he one of your bootlickers?


    F*ck it, you have way too many f*cking bootlickers!”


    Olivia’s face was dark red. “Who the f*ck Mike? I don’t know him at all! And what happened to that


    b*tch Gina?”


    “She didn’t get hurt, not even a scratch!” When Ethan said this, he wanted tough. He couldn’t


    figure out how Gina could escape such a grim situation. She had incredible luck.


    Olivia gasped and chuckled sarcastically, “So she wasn’t injured?


    “Didn’t I tell you? Not a scratch! Otherwise, why would Gabriel strangle me? You know he was head


    over heels for Gina. Also, Gabriel was in the same car as Gina at that time. So, if Gina died Gabriel


    would likely die too. Ethan angrily exined.


    “That d’mn Mike said he wouldn’t expose me. He promised there would be no evidence even if he


    died. I believed him. The ce where I met him and even the surveince footage was deleted. But


    I didn’t expect that kid to be so clumsy by leaving one important recording. That must be your idea.


    After all, you hate me so much!”


    Olivia rolled her eyes at: “I told you, it wasn’t tur!”

    She thought for a moment and added. “Do you think there’s a possibility that Mike wanted to kill


    Gabriel instead of Gina? Considering Gabriel’s personality. I think it was more likely. Hearing this,


    Ethan was stunned. He had not thought of this.


    “That Mike you mentioned. I believe he investigated Gina’s whereabouts to track Gabriel. If Mike


    targeted Gina, he would’ve done it sooner.”


    Ethan felt enlightened. “You’re saying Mike lied to me from the beginning? So, you hiring him was


    just his alibi?”


    “What did Mike say about them when he met you?” Olivia asked again. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    “He said he was angry. Gina caused him a lot of trouble, but I have no idea what Gina had done to


    him. He didn’t exin.”


    “An ex-convict?” Olivia made a bold guess. “I think he had been in jail before.”


    After saying that, Olivia browsed the list of wanted fugitives and found Mike’s name. She showed


    Ethan the information while exining, “A prison break. He was able to find you because he


    escaped. Now, do you believe Mike has nothing to do with me? Why would I help him out anyway?”


    Ethan didn’t expect he had wronged Olivia. “Then, who instigated it? Ethan was confused.


    Olivia was so angry that he kicked his leg again. “No matter who ordered it, the two of us have been


    f*cking framed. You took the me for killing Gina Miller, and I’ve been framed as his client. D*mn


    it, you beat me up for nothing, you uncultured swine!”


    “Language! I admit I’ve wronged you, so let me at leastpensate you for your medical expenses.


    Please, stop hitting me.”


    “I want 20 thousand dors!”


    “Granted.”


    This time, it was Olivia’s turn to be stunned. She Jaitghed and said. “Oh my, it’s rare for you to be so


    generous. Are you afraid that I’ll kill you?


    Ethan’s face stiffened. “Call it character development, Olivia. I’m not the same as before.”


    “How are you different from before?”


    “I have an important project on hand. If I seed, I’ll be able to be richer. I’ll be the front face


    of many international business magazines.” Ethan said proudly.


    But Olivia looked skeptical. “Only if you seed. Do you think you have what it takes? What if you


    fail?”


    “Impossible. It can’t fail. I have a top team of international professionals working under me. There’s


    only one oue for this project, and that is to seed.” Ethan firmly believed, but Olivia sneered.


    She didn’t buy it at all.


    Ethan nodded slowly and looked at Olivia. “I didn’t realize your brain is still functioning. Since you’ve


    shed a new perspective, I finally know why Mike left a recording behind. He covered his tracks by


    making me take the me. Da*n it, he tricked me! Olivia, can you help me find out who hired Mike


    “Me? Why should 1 help you investigate?” Olivia was amused. Her analysis just now was luck’s


    work. If Olivia agreed, she knew she would only cause unnecessary trouble.


    “Il give you money! If you find any clues, I’ll give you money, deal? But if you can find out who the


    mastermind is, I’ll let you join my project”
