Chapter 298

Brent continued, “In the beginning, those women did perform well in their studies.

“They received sponsorship from Mr. Fordham and furthered their studies in big cities. Some of them

are diligent in pursuing higher education, too.

“The majority of them were dazzled by the temptation in the cities, thinking that women should rely on

men.

“Some of them began to neglect their studies and get involved with married or rich men. Some of them

even took the ride that comes every Friday specifically for college girls.

“The good ones had become housewives after graduation while the bad ones lead an indecent life until

today.

“It pained Mr. Fordham to watch them live such a life. He tried to talk them out of it multiple times.

“Yet, they betrayed him by framing him for having distorted ideas on them. I captured a few of them and

scared them into spilling the truth.

“Some of the good ones were paid to spread bad rumors about Mr. Fordham, too.

“As for the mentally ill people, they were either sent to a psychiatric hospital or had committed suicide.

“I couldn’t find their families either. The other party didn’t manage to buy off some of them. They told

me that Mr. Fordham had been treating them well. He is a good person.

“Mr. Miller, I can’t make a conclusion regarding other matters, but I think we were fooled into doubting

Mr. Fordham’s

character.”

Brent made the final conclusion.

Ethan tightened his fist, crumpling the document that he was holding. His knuckles were white.

He kept remembering how he had given Olivia the cold shoulder for the past two years, as well as how

he used Marina to hurt

Olivia

“You’re a pawn of mine from the beginning.”

“Olivia Fordham, this is what your family owes me!”

“Olivia Fordham, why was the person who died Leia and not you!”

“Olivia Fordham, I want you to have a taste of a hellish life!”

It was a serious reality check from Ethan.

His head began to hurt as though someone was cracking his head open.

The agonizing pain throbbed through every part of his body.

Slowly, his eyes started to lose focus. Brent was saying something, but Ethan couldn’t hear a word

from him.

All he could see was Brent’s moving lips.

Then, Ethan fell onto the floor.

“Mr. Miller!” Brent hurriedly helped Ethan up.

Even though Ethan had started to take his meal two days ago, he was still weak.

Hugging his head, he muttered, “I destroyed her with my very own hands.”

Not knowing what he should say to comfort Ethan, Brent said, “Mr. Miller, our investigation so far can

only prove that Mr. Fordham has had a good personal life.

“The baby in Ms. Miller’s womb was indeed his child. Besides, he was the last person she contacted

before she passed away

“Yeah, that’s right. It was Jeff’s child. It must be his doing.

“I’m not wrong. I didn’t misunderstand him…” Ethan murmured as though he was holding onto his last

straw.

At that moment, Kelvin barged into the study. “Mr. Miller, someone left this box at the gate.

“I’ve taken a look at the content. It might come in handy for us.”

Only then did he realize Ethan was acting out of character.

Worried, he came up to Ethan and placed the box down. “Mr. Miller, what’s wrong?”
