Chapter 327

Marina wanted to rant very badly, but she was forced to hold her tongue. She had no idea since when

Ethan refused to even

utter a word to her.

“Ethan, didn’t you see my face?”

It was only then that Ethan looked up. He saw her red cheeks sporting clear handprints.

“Who hit you?”

“My dad.”

“Then I can’t do anything about it.” Upon returning to his seat, Ethan flipped open a folder.

He couldn’t possibly ask Chris to take responsibility, after all.

His connections to the Carltons aside, Ethan respected Chris as a person.

Seeing his nonchalance, Marina hastily ran toward him. “If Olivia got hurt, would you be this cold to her

too?”

Ethan wanted to say that Marina wasn’t worthy enough to be compared to Qlivia. But when he thought

about the deceased Kurt, he chose not to say it.

He simply said, “I’ll ask Kelvin to send you to the hospital.”

“I am your fiancée!”

Marina was upset with Ethan’s half-hearted attitude. In the past, he was never intimate with her, but at

least he was gentlemanly and respected her.

But now, he didn’t even respect her at all. He freely expressed his disgust toward her.

“You didn’t come to the engagement ceremony,” Ethan reminded her.

“What, are you running away from your responsibilities? Don’t forget, you promise Kurt that you will

protect us for life! If it weren’t for Kurt, you would’ve died by now.”

Marina had said the same thing countless times. She wanted the Milia Stellae, but Ethan said she

couldn’t have it. So, she brought up Kurt’s death to threaten him.

She wanted Collington Cove as well. It was a surprise prepared for Olivia. But in the end, Marina used

the Ethan to give up on that plan.

Is to force

Ethan had spent years building that hospital. The tendering, filing, land acquisition, and building stages

took a lot of effort. He wanted to give it to Olivia as a present after she had given birth.

He knew that Olivia was a kind person. He even established a charity fund for the people who couldn’t

afford to pay their

medical bills.

He could already imagine how happy Olivia would be when she knew about it.

But when Marina heard of this, she kept pestering him for shares of the hospital. She even changed the

name of the hospital.

For some time, because of what happened to Leia, he had hatred toward Olivia as well. Still, his love

for her never changed.

His remorse toward Kurt had turned into Marina’s pass to get everything she wanted. Of course, Ethan

kept putting up with her ridiculous requests.

In the end, his actions only served to hurt Olivia deeply.

Ethan slapped the folder shut, which startled Marina.

“W-Why are you looking at me like that? What I said isn’t wrong! He died because he wanted to protect

you-”

“Enough!”

A cold air emanated from Ethan, his voice becoming terrifyingly low. He rose to his feet before

slamming his hands onto the desk, his figure towering over Marina’s by a head.

“Do you treat Kurt’s death as your pass to get everything you want?”

The oppressive feeling coming from Ethan loomed over Marina. Startled by his expression, Marina

trembled. “I … I…”

“Yes, he died to save me, and I am very grateful to him. I promised him that I would take good care of

you guys.

“You said that you wanted to get married to me, and I agreed. I gave you everything you wanted.

“There’s the birthday banquet for Olivia and the recent engagement ceremony. When have I

complained about you?

“Marina, I’ve spent a lot of money and effort on you, but were you ever sad about Kurt’s death?”

Marina was upset when she heard that. “I gave birth to his child! Why wouldn’t I be saddened by his

death?”

Ethan looked down at her with a judging gaze. She lowered her head guiltily.

But then, Ethan revealed a long-hidden secret.

“No one knows where your child came from, but I do.”
