Chapter 269

Marina was stunned by what the person said. She understood what the person wanted to do.

“What’s the meaning of this? Didn’t you tell me that you wanted to work with me?”

“Work with you? Someone like you isn’t worth my time,” the person said with a smirk.

Fear began to consume Marina, and her expression paled. Her lips quivered as she said, “Don’t …

Don’t you know who I am? My husband is Ethan Miller. He won’t let you off easily if you lay a hand on

me.”

Marina felt a sudden pain on her torso. A foot was pressing down on her waist.

She had never been humiliated like this except for the time Olivia attacked her.

“I’m warning you. You’d better be prepared to put your life on the line if you want to hurt me…’

Before Marina could finish her sentence, the foot pressed down harder on her waist. She winced in

pain.

“You’re the one who should know your place. Olivia is smarter than you. She didn’t try to anger me.”

Marina finally understood that she was in the same predicament as Olivia. “So your target was never

Olivia alone but the both of us?”

“That’s right.”

The person’s gender couldn’t be discerned from their voice. Marina could only come to two

conclusions. The person hated Olivia and herself because they stood in the way of their love.

It could also be that the person was Ethan’s enemy, and they were captured so they could use them to

threaten Ethan.

No matter what the person was after, Marina knew her chances for survival were slim.

She started to panic. She quickly dropped her arrogant act and began to beg for her life, “Please let me

go. I don’t want to die! I still have two kids. I can’t leave them alone.”

Her attitude changed as she added, “Kill Olivia if you have to. She’s Ethan’s ex-wife and the love of his

life.”

Marina’s words struck a chord with Olivia. She never thought she would see the day when a prideful

woman like Marina would

admit Ethan loved her more.

Olivia could hear the person grunt. She could hear the disdain in their tone.

“What a joke. A woman who’s about to be engaged to Ethan is admitting that she’s not his true love?”

“It’s true! I’m not lying. Even though we’re engaged, he doesn’t love me at all.” Marina no longer cared

about her pride or appearance. She just wanted to live.

“Why would he get engaged to you if he doesn’t love you?”

“Because… I got pregnant with his children by accident. He has no choice but to do so.”

Marina almost blurted out the truth. She paused for a moment, then changed her statement.

The person patted Marina on her face. “You don’t have to be so pessimistic. Ethan will be the one to

decide if you live or die.”

Marina asked in surprise, “What do you mean?”

“Aren’t you the one who loves making people choose between two options? That’s what we’ll be doing

today. Honestly, I’m more curious-”

The person dragged their tone, then continued, “If the same thing happens, will Ethan make the same

choice he made back

then?”

Both Olivia and Marina’s faces paled. They understood what the person wanted to do.

The person took their foot off Marina.

Marina knew the person wasn’t joking. She broke into tears and kept begging for her life.

The person said softly, “Don’t be afraid. I just want to play a game with you. A game… of life and

death.”
