Chapter 285
Even After Death
Brent was relieved to see some spark in Ethanâs eyes.
He quickly continued, âThatâs true. Mrs. Miller is a pacifist. She wouldnât ask you to avenge her
otherwise.â
Ethan frowned at the reminder. He recalled Olivia trying to tell him something but never actually
speaking up.
âWhat she wanted me to investigate wasnât only The Toxic Hive. She also wanted me to look into the
incident with Jeff and my sister.â
Ethan remembered that Olivia had visited the Miller residence before the kidnapping. She probably
knew something was
wrong.
It was like the spy cameras planting in Ethanâs office. It was clear someone had been plotting against
him for some time.
But this concerned his taboo. It was something he didnât allow anyone to bring up, not even Olivia.
That was why Olivia had to risk everything and investigate by herself to find the truth.
âMr. Miller, do we need to look into Ms. Leiaâs incident?â Brent asked cautiously.
Ethan looked up into the sky and stared at the dimly lit stars among the clouds. He realized the truth
was always there, but someone had intentionally hidden it.
âInvestigate! Look into it carefully. Leave no stone unturned.â
Ethan had made up his mind. If something was wrong with his sisterâs death, he wouldnât let the people
behind it roam free.
He decided to revisit his trauma.
âThis time, weâll change things up a little.â
âWhat kind of change?â Kelvin was shocked.
âAll the evidence that we found last time felt like they were planted by someone who wanted us to find
them. We were being led on.
âThis time, we will start our investigation from the Fordhamsâ angle.â
Brent stared at Ethanâs expression and nodded. âUnderstood.â
âWhere would she be if she was alive?â Ethan wondered.
âWeâre not the only ones looking for her. The Toxic Hive must be looking, too. She must be hiding in a
place no one expects her to be.â
But where would this place be?
Kelvin recalled something and said softly, âMr. Miller, Mrs. Carlton was diagnosed with leukemia two
days ago.
âIt isnât looking good. Do you want to visit her?â
âLeukemia? Itâs karma coming back to bite her,â Ethan said with a smirk.
He thought Chloe wasnât fit to be a mother.
Brent said awkwardly, âAbout that, Mr. Miller. You should still visit her anyway. The Carltons are still
looking for you to give them an explanation.â
Ethan had been focused on looking for Olivia the past few days.
Otto was throwing a fit. It was time for Ethan to visit the Carltons.
âThereâs no rush. Dress my wound with fresh bandages first.â
Brent was overjoyed. Ethan had finally agreed to change the bandages.
The wound on his chest was bandaged while he was unconscious. Ethan hadnât allowed anyone to get
close to him for the past few days. The condition of his wound has been left unchecked.
It was a good thing that Ethan was starting to cooperate with the treatment of his wound.
The wound hadnât been soaked in water. It didnât worsen.
Ethan had always been physically fit. The flesh was already growing back on his injury.
Ethan looked at the wound and smiled icily.
Brent was standing behind him and happened to see his expression. It sent chills down Brentâs spine.
Ethan looked like a demon that clawed his way up from hell.
âBrent, move Jeff to another nursing home.â
Brent calmed himself down and said, âYes, Mr. Miller.â
Not only did Ethan cooperate with the treatment of his wound, but he also ate.
Before he could finish eating, he received the news. âMr Miller, bad news! Mr. Fordham has been
taken!â
