Chapter 181
Even After Death
Olivia raised the notebook in her hand. The notebook recorded all of Ethanâs preferences.
âI havenât finished memorizing it yet. Mr. Miller takes his coffee with three cubes of sugar. He likes his
steak rare. His favorite fruits are cherries and blueberriesâ¦â
Olivia shut the notebook. She looked at Ethan seriously, âI seem to recall that you hated those fruits the
most. You only eat mediumârare steaks, and you never put any sugar in your coffee.â
If William hadnât reminded her not to get anything wrong, she would have thought that someone was
setting her up for failure at the workplace.
The list of preferences was the complete opposite of what Ethan actually liked.
Ethan took the notebook from her hands and said, âYou donât have to care about that.â
Ethan did not like people knowing about his preference. No one knew about his actual preferences
except Olivia.
âYou need only do as youâre told.â
The light from the laptopâs screen shone on Ethanâs face. It made his expression look even colder.
Olivia suddenly realized that she had never truly understood Ethan, whom she slept with.
Ethan at work was a completely different person.
She nodded and said, âIâll get used to it.â
Olivia frowned and looked at her serious expression. He found it hard to believe that she was going to
be his secretary.
How did she change so much in a day?
Ethan had a lot of work piled up due to Olivia and Connorâs disappearance a while ago.
Even at home, he was still having video conferences and reading emails.
Olivia took her laptop to the bed after she showered. Luckily, the restrictions Ethan put on her were
temporarily lifted.
She began searching for information on the laptop. She took particular notice of Ethanâs schedule on
the day of Jeffâs car
accident.
It was Ethan and Leiaâs birthday that day.
Usually, he wouldnât have anything planned on that day. But the G20 Summit was held on that day.
Ethan had to attend and give a speech because he was the chairman.
It didnât matter if he went from the office or the Miller residence to the G20 Summit venue.
He wouldnât have gone past the street where the accident happened.
That was unless he wanted to witness Jeffâs death at the scene because he planned the whole thing.
The other possibility was that he had no choice but to go there.
There were several accidents on that day. It wasnât hard to look up.
Olivia quickly found the news reports of the accidents. In the articles, Olivia saw two other car
accidents that happened on
Lindon Street.
Although they werenât as severe as Jeffâs, they were enough to cause traffic jams.
Coincidentally, Ethanâs car showed up in one of the video clips.
Even though it only appeared for a few frames, Olivia quickly spotted it. The clip was posted exactly 30
minutes before Jeffâs accident.
The street was the optimal path toward the G20 Summit. Ethanâs appearance here meant that he had
intended to go to the
summit.
He only changed course because of the car accident. That was why he showed up at the scene of
Jeffâs accident.
Olivia felt a chill down her spine when she saw the video.
Her suspicions were confirmed. Someone else had been manipulating things from behind the scenes
since two years ago!
Both Ethan and her were pawns in that personâs plan.
-Even her fatherâs accident was planned by that person. It was done so that the blame would be pinned
on Ethan.
The person wanted to use her to hurt Connor in her anger.
That would, in turn, hurt Ethan. It would also cause their relationship to be completely irreparable.
If she hadnât changed her mind at the last second, Connor would have been dead.
This person was wicked.
Ethan opened the door and walked in. He glanced at her and said, âYou look like youâve seen a ghost.â
