Chapter 159

Olivia knew that she wouldn’t be able to escape this time. So, she stopped being wary like she used to.

Looking Ethan in the eye, she spoke in a sterner tone.

“I hate how arrogant and inconsistent you are. You’re the one who didn’t want me anymore, but you’re

also the one who refuses to let me go now.

“You said that my father owes you for your sister’s life. Now, the Fordhams have gone bankrupt, and

my father is constantly in critical condition. I’ve also sacrificed my marriage and my child.

“Is this still not enough for you? If so, then just take my life as well.”

When she said that, she noticed Ethan’s gaze turning colder. In reality, Olivia felt quite nervous. Her

heart pounded along with her worked–up emotions.

She continued, “When you’re in a good mood, you give me one billion dollars and allow me to leave.

When you’re in a bad mood, you turn around and start looking for me again.

“Ethan, I’m human, not some toy in your hand. Do you know why I’d rather stay on a remote island

instead of going back to the bustling city?

“Because everyone here treats me like a human! They respect me and help me find meaning in life.”

Ethan tightened his grip. To him, Olivia had simply fallen for someone else.

“Just because he was slightly nicer to you, you’d do anything for him? You even betrayed me and

forgot all about our contract. You’re as naive as always.”

Olivia frowned. “What is wrong with this man?” she thought.

“I don’t-”

“Do you know his identity? Are you aware of his intentions? Nothing in this world is free. You should

know what happens when a moth flies toward a flame.”

Olivia was upset with the way Ethan described Jack. “Yes, I don’t know his past or his identity, but

there’s one thing I know. Unlike you, he won’t hurt me!”

When Ethan saw Olivia trying her best to defend another man, his expression sank.

He was like a beast revealing its terrifying fangs. “I said before that you would be punished if you did

something wrong. You’ll pay a huge price for your betrayal.”

With that, he let Olivia go and turned to leave. Olivia knew that she was in deep trouble.

She couldn’t care less about her own life. But she had formed bonds with Martha, Jerry, Jack, and the

islanders.

Olivia hastily wrapped her arms around his waist from behind. She begged, “Ethan, I’ll go back with

you. Please don’t harm.

the islanders.”

Ethan’s face was tense as a sharp coldness appeared in his eyes. “It’s too late.”

With that, he reached out and pried Olivia’s fingers off of him. “Olivia, if that man dies in front of you,

will you finally be obedient enough?”

Olivia was deeply regretting her actions. She shouldn’t have confessed her truest thoughts.

Ethan had already given her a chance. As long as she submitted to him, he would have let everyone

else go.

“Ethan, please don’t do it. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”

She wanted to take his hand, but Ethan grabbed hers first. Then, he dragged her outside.

Jack was surrounded by several men. He didn’t dare move a muscle. He feared that even a slightly

heavier breath from him would give them a reason to pull the trigger.

He had always been good with enduring. He knew that Ethan wanted to make an example of him. If

not, Ethan would’ve attacked him on sight.

He was waiting for a chance to fight. But now wasn’t the time.

When he saw Olivia being taken into the room, he didn’t know what sort of terrors she would have to go

through again. He was anxious, but he mustn’t make any reckless moves.
