Chapter 608
Even After Death
Olivia felt a little more sympathetic now. She didnât expect Ethan to have a family background like that.
âWhatâs it like with the Millers right now?â
âMadam Eugeniaâs death was a huge shock to her husband, Mr. Harold. Heâs also quite old, and he
has dementia.
âHe has been resting and recuperating overseas since then. He generally doesnât care about what
goes on in the family.â
Olivia asked, âThen⦠what about Ethanâs father?â
âBack then, he had a strained relationship with Mr. Harold. In his anger, Mr. Harold disowned Mr. Miller
Senior and drove him out of the Miller family.
âMr. Miller Senior started another family a long time ago, and heâs living a happy life with the woman he
loves.â
Olivia asked, âHe doesnât like Mrs. Miller Senior, but doesnât he even care about his son?â
âThatâs right. To be honest, every man in the Miller family is deeply devoted to love. From Mr. Harold
right up to Mr. Miller, and even Mr. Miller Senior, theyâd hold onto the person they love for life.
âBut it was just too cruel for Mrs. Miller Senior and Mr. Miller.â
Madam Burgess then told Olivia many stories about Ethanâs childhood. Olivia was shocked to hear
them.
To her, all this was a blank canvas. She even had a feeling that Ethan had never once mentioned these
things to her.
No one would willingly open their wounds and expose them to someone else.
Seeing the dark expression on Oliviaâs face, Madam Burgess slowly lightened her tone.
âDonât think about it too much, Mrs. Miller. All those things I said are trivial stuff in the past now. It has
been more than 20 years since then. Even rivers can dry up in that period.
âMrs. Miller Senior must have let go of it a long time ago. I heard that sheâs recovering well, and she
even asked to meet Mr. Miller. She must be just like everyone else by now.â
Olivia replied, âI see.â
Olivia and Madam Burgess chatted for a long while. They were at least acquaintances, after all. So,
Olivia decided to buy something for Madam Burgess.
After getting ready, the two went out under the protection of bodyguards.
Meanwhile, Ethan was in the presidentâs office at Miller Group.
He had a grave look on his face as he looked at the screen. It was filled with dishonest news and angry
fans.
Things had already spiraled out of control, and it was getting even more absurd by the second.
Topics like âMiller Group kills at willâ and âMrs. Miller forced a celebrity to deathâ kept popping up.
Brent didnât sleep throughout the night. He looked very tired right now. After the changes overnight, the
situation could no longer be controlled.
âMr. Miller, I found something. A foreign force is making use of this incident to blow things up. Theyâre
blaming everything on Mrs. Miller. Theyâre fanning the flames of the innocent crowdâs anger.â
âAny clues about the murderer?â
âNone for now. But Mara did die because someone had paid for it to happen. According to the
information, Maraâs private life is a mess. She doesnât care for morality or shame at all.
âShe was expelled from school at ten years old, and she has been hanging around in society since
then. She had quite an interesting history in school.â
Ethan lit a cigarette. âContinue.â
âBullying, cheating in exams, hitting teachers, dating too early⦠She even forced a student to the point
of death. Later on, she hung out with hooligans and even slept with lots of men.
âShe somehow got lucky and entered the entertainment industry. She didnât join the industry to act,
though. She was just there to earn money. She extorted many people, and she only targeted laborers.
âShe would get 30 to 50 thousand dollars every time. Warren probably knew about this habit of hers, so
he purposefully dressed up as a janitor and got close to her.
âHe had already planned the killing method and location.â
Ethan shook off the cigarette ashes. A dark shadow loomed over his face. âSo, Warren wasnât targeting
Liv?â
âAs youâve guessed, no. Mara probably seduced a man she shouldnât have, so the manâs wife got
upset with her. Then, the wife hired someone to kill Mara.
âMrs. Miller and Kelvin somehow got involved by accident. Some people with ulterior motives heard of
it, and theyâre using it to cause controversy and trouble.â
Ethan pondered aloud. âWho could it be?â
