Chapter 909
Even After Death
It would have been fine if Ethan hadnât said that. But once he did, Oliviaâs expression shifted.
âHow long are you going to act selfishly under the pretense of doing it for my good?â
Olivia vented all her dissatisfaction.
âI loved you so much in the past, and I gave up everything for you. You have a mysterious job, and I
didnât ask you about it.
âI also never asked you where you went on your business trips. I thought that this was my way of loving
you, but what became of me in the end?â
âLiv.â Ethan wanted to reach out and hold her hand, but Olivia dodged him.
âYou know everything about me. When youâre happy, youâll gladly spend a large sum to buy gifts for
me, spoiling me to no end.
âBut when youâre upset, you take everything back and deny me every chance of escape, putting me in
hell.
âBut what about me? From the beginning until now, other than knowing that youâre Ethan, what else do
I know?
âFrom the beginning, you loved me like you would love a pet. You thought this was for my good, and
that was good for me.
âBut in the end, I turned out like this exactly because you were too self-righteous!â
Ethan silently gazed at the fuming Olivia. He didnât realize that she had been so upset with him all this
while.
âLiv⦠I have reasons for doing that. The more people know about my identity, the more dangerous it
will
âSo, the Prescotts moved overseas many years ago. They did it to avoid getting involved in danger.â
He sighed. âNever mind. Now that things have come to this point, Iâll tell you everything you want to
know.
My identity was leaked, anyway.
âBrent, reveal everything youâve found out. There are no outsiders here, anyway.â
After getting his permission, Brent closed the door first. Then, he turned around and said to Olivia, âMrs
Miller, the incident last night wasnât targeted at you.
âSomeone wanted to kill Mr. Miller, and you just happened to be involved in it.â
As expected, Oliviaâs intuition was right. These peopleâs behavior was completely different from those
of the others back then.
âWho are they? How dare they do such things?â
âAccording to the intel Iâve gotten so far, these people belong to some local underground organizations.
âOur country is very strict in this aspect, so even if there are remaining members, they wonât dare to act
so boldly.â
Olivia asked, âThen whyâ¦â
Brent sighed.
âIt started ten years ago. Back then, there were various foul organizations of all shapes and sizes in the
country, and many youngsters and families were their victims.
âYou could always see them on the news, where families died a horrible death, jumped off buildings,
and committed suicide with gas.
âAs soon as a family member got involved with it, they would only be dragged further into the abyss.
âOnly a few minor subordinates were caught in each operation to defeat them, and when it blew over,
they would resume their activities.
âTheir bosses were all in Shadow Valley, a district overseas. Itâs a complicated place that is also the
largest crime trading center.
âMr. Miller volunteered to be a spy in a criminal organization for many years. In the end, they were
captured along with their subgroups in our country.â
Olivia was startled when she heard that. She didnât expect Ethan to have such experiences.
âMrs. Miller, even from films and shows, you should be aware of how cruel those people are. Even if
their headquarters are destroyed, people like them will keep coming back.
âAs long as people exist, there will always be benefits to be reaped.
âAs soon as their remnants hear of Mr. Millerâs identity, not only Mr. Miller but also the people close to
him will be in danger.
âWhy did Mr. Miller insist on keeping your marriage a secret? He didnât want to expose you because he
wanted to protect you.â
As expected, the truth was always too heavy to bear. Olivia said sullenly, âThen, Marinaâ¦â
âMs. Cariton is different from you. Mr. Miller only has gratitude toward her, not love.
âNever mind, he should tell you about his feelings. Iâm an outsider, so I canât explain it clearly.
*So, letâs continue where we left off.
âMr. Miller did many similar things. Heâs the best at disguising himself and working as a spy.
âHe did things like getting top-secret intel from other countries and assassinating political figures.
âOut there, even his codename strikes fear in the hearts of those who hear it. So, do you understand
now why he was able to command warships as he pleased?
âBecause all these military achievements were the glory he received in exchange for risking his life.
âBut now, someone has exposed his identity.â
