Chapter 234
Even After Death
Provoking Marina was never in Oliviaâs plan. Olivia never expected Marina to be here this quickly
either.
Marina had always resented Olivia to the bone. If she found Olivia in the CEOâs office, she would surely
turn the whole company upside down.
Thinking about the objective behind her arrival at Miller Group, Olivia was determined not to let Marina
ruin her plan. Impatiently, Olivia shoved Ethanâs chest.
He ignored her protest because heâd been desiring such a moment all along.
Like a lost tourist who finally found a source of water in the desert, he wouldnât let her go.
Olivia was flustered because Marina was going to barge into the office at any time.
Marina was getting impatient. She was Ethanâs fiancée and yet Brent was treating her like an intruder.
She said, âWhatâs wrong? Do I need to make an appointment to see my fiancé? Make way.â
Oliviaâs heart was on the verge of jumping out of her chest. She broke free from Ethanâs grasp with all
her might.
She thought, âHeâs crazy. He doesnât want to let me go and yet he agreed to marry Marina. Just what is
he up to? If he genuinely likes Marina, why wonât he release me?â
Anger was fuming in her eyes. She growled in an undertone, âEthan Miller, are you crazy?â
Now that she was showing her true self, he smiled while looking at her.
Olivia walked in circles in the office, trying to find a place to hide.
She opened the bookshelf, but there was not enough space to fit her in.
Then, she laid on the floor to see if it was spacious enough to hide underneath the couch.
After checking every corner of his office, she realized that there was no place she could hide. âDonât
you have another room here?â
âHuh?â he responded.
âIâm your ex-wife. If Marina finds me here, youâll be in trouble.â She huffed.
He was displeased at her remarks as it made their relationship appear wrong in some way.
Ethan held Oliviaâs hand tighter. âYouâre aware that youâre my ex-wife. Itâs not like itâs wrong to be that.â
She glared at him. âDo you think that Marina is that generous to let me off the hook? Iâm doing this for
our sake.â Needless to say, she was doing it mainly for her sake.
She didnât want to be chased out of Miller Group without solving the case.
Marina was going to enter the office soon.
Standing up, Ethan pushed the bookshelf to reveal a hidden room, where he usually rested.
Olivia darted into the room.
At the same time, Marina managed to bluff Brent and enter the office.
She scanned the place only to find Ethan alone, sitting before his desk while reading documents.
He slowly raised his head, looking at Marina in displeasure.
Impatiently, Ethan said, âWhat brings you here?â
When she was going to say something, she noticed a bloodstain on his lips and the scattered papers
on the floor. âIâm going
to leave after checking on you.â
Without much change in her expression, Marina walked up to him.
Her gaze was fixated upon his lips as she coldly asked, âEthan, what happened to your lips?â
âIt was a bite.â
âWho bit you?â She paced up anxiously.
He replied calmly, âI bit myself. Who else wouldâve done it?â
From his aloof attitude, it was as though he was treating a stranger and not his fiancée.
