Chapter 157

Olivia looked up at him. The sunlight shone on his body, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

Instead, his eyes were filled with rage, mockery, and disdain.

“What exactly do you want me to do, Ethan? Do I not deserve my own life anymore?”

They were already divorced, but this man only got even more possessive of her. His possessiveness

was so serious that it was almost perverted.

Ethan’s gaze fell upon the large hand gripping Olivia’s wrist. When Jack noticed Ethan looking, he

subconsciously stood in front of Olivia.

Their gazes met. Jack didn’t seem scared at all when he looked at Ethan. “You’re already divorced.

She doesn’t want to go with. you.”

Jack’s movements and words made Ethan mad.

Ethan’s eyes were dark as he looked at Jack. There was an upset expression on his face.

Even the air around him seemed restless. The sea breeze passed by, rustling Olivia’s hair, which had

grown a little longer.

She was pale in the face as she hid behind the man. Even though Jack had a decent build, the black

jacket he was wearing looked like it would tear soon.

Ethan was suddenly pissed. This man was a far cry from him, but Olivia kept running away from him for

the sake of this man.

Out of habit, Ethan took a cigarette and lit it. His stance was lazy, but there was a cold and powerful air

about him.

“Who are you to her? What right do you have to comment on our relationship?”

Jack was at a loss for words. But then, he quickly replied, “We’re friends.”

“Friends?”

Ethan sneered. “Befriending a kidnapper? You’re quite something, Olivia.”

When he said the word “kidnapper,” he sounded especially harsh.

“It’s not what you think it is, Ethan. I can explain about the child.”

Ethan narrowed his eyes. Only coldness remained in his eyes.

“Come up here.”

The game was already over.

His influence reached the whole world. Olivia had nowhere to run.

Jack also knew that if Olivia went, only hell would be waiting for her.

“Don’t go.” He grabbed Olivia’s wrist, trying to make a final stand. But he didn’t realize that his actions

had driven Ethan to

anger.

Olivia was used to the sound of guns by now, so she didn’t scream.

The shot was aimed at a spot near Jack’s feet. If Olivia weren’t standing in front of him, the bullet

wouldn’t have ended up

there.

Olivia hastily struggled free of Jack’s grasp. She knew that the more she resisted and the closer she

got to Jack, the worse their outcome would be.

She stood next to Jack, thanking him. “Thank you all for being with me, but… this is the end.”

Jack wanted to step forward, but Olivia stopped him. “Don’t come any closer.”

She walked toward Ethan. Jack clenched his fists, but he dared not move recklessly.

Several snipers around them were aiming at him. As soon as Olivia left, Jack would be shot on the spot

with just an order from

Ethan.

Olivia knew what Ethan was thinking. He was never a kind person.

Moreover, Jack had kidnapped Connor and injured Mina before.

So, before Ethan gave the order, Olivia hastily ran into his arms.

She knew that the man would succumb to tenderness. Thus, she softened her behavior and whispered,

“Don’t hurt him, please. He’s a good person.”

Ethan lowered his eyes to look at her. There was a mocking look in them.

“Are you begging me for the sake of another man? You’ve gotten bold, Olivia.”

He held her hand. As their palms touched, Olivia felt his burning temperature. She felt like it would burn

her.
