Chapter 160
Even After Death
Jack knew about crazy people like Ethan. If he showed too much concern about Olivia, he would only
be putting her in danger.
Soon, the door to the room opened. Jack watched as Ethan dragged Olivia out with him. Olivia looked
so fragile, but Ethan didnât seem to pity her one bit.
Jack subconsciously tried to move forward. Brent reminded him in a cold voice, âDonât move.â
Jack looked at Olivia in worry. He opened his mouth but didnât say anything.
A gun had appeared in Ethanâs hand. He looked high and mighty as if he were some god that
controlled othersâ lives at will.
âWatch closely, Liv. He died because of you.â
Olivia was terrified. She didnât know what she could do now to stop Ethanâs frenzy.
The more she begged, the more it would stoke Ethanâs murderous intent. But even if she didnât beg
him, he would still do it.
âWhat should I do? What on earth can I do?â she thought.
At that moment, a clear voice rang out. âGo to hell, you criminal!â
It was Tomâs voice. He had been hiding and lying in wait for a chance.
Jack had taught him how to use a gun before. But since guns were dangerous, Jack usually forbade
him from using them.
Tom innocently thought that the crisis would be resolved if Ethan died. Then Olivia would be free again.
The bullet didnât come from Ethanâs hand. Instead, it came from the gun Tom was holding. Tom was
hiding in an overlooked
corner.
The gun was aimed at Ethan, but Tom wasnât very good at shooting. Because of his panic, his aim was
off.
The bullet whistled through the air as it headed right toward Oliviaâs chest.
No one expected the sudden turn of events. They didnât think that the child would have a gun!
When Olivia saw the bullet, she was already pulled into an embrace.
She could smell the familiar wooden scent. It was just like Ethanâs personality, reserved and cold.
His tall figure not only blocked off the snowy wind for her, but it also blocked the bullet.
âEthan!â Olivia looked at him in panic. At that moment, her emotions were in a mess. All her thoughts
centered on Ethan.
âAre you okay? Does it hurt?â
Olivia got out of Ethanâs embrace. She saw that the bullet had pierced the black wool coat and hit the
bulletproof vest underneath. She sighed in relief.
It was also at that moment when all the snipers aimed at Tom instead. Olivia hastily said, âDonât shoot!
Heâs just a child!â
Ethan reached out his cold fingers to touch the tears in the corners of her eyes.
He said, âA young beast with fangs is still a beast in the end. Liv, if I hadnât worn a bulletproof vest
today, either you or I
wouldâve died.â
Leaning in her ear, he whispered, âHaving mercy on your enemies is the same as being cruel to
yourself.â
Ethanâs voice was soft, and Olivia couldnât sense any emotion in it.
But she knew that he was mad. He was furious!
Other than matters that concerned her, his mood swings were quite severe. When he faced other
people, the angrier he was, the calmer he appeared.
Olivia hugged him tightly, begging in her soft and humble tone, âEthan, Tom didnât mean to harm me.
Heâs just a child. Donât
Connor didnât know why Olivia was sobbing so much. When he saw her crying, he also felt sad. He
immediately started wailing
as well.
âDaddy, Mama!â Connorâs wails distracted Ethanâs thoughts. The child tottered toward Ethan.
Ethan picked the child up. Connor and Olivia were sobbing on either side of him. He was greatly
annoyed.
He had no choice but to compromise. âFine, I can let the child go. But heâ¦â
Ethan glared straight at Jack. His voice was cold as he continued, â⦠must die.â
