Chapter 362

Marina was devastated. She had been thinking about her actions the past few days and realized

she had crossed the line. She almost killed Chloe.

She specifically went to get a fruit basket to apologize to Chloe. But she didn’t expect to hear what

Chris said the moment she arrived.

She didn’t get to apologize and had yet another argument with Chris.

Marina felt aggrieved as tears fell onto the back of her hand. Ethan was no longer patient with

her like he used to be. Ethan’s tolerance for her due to Kurt’s sacrifice was running out. He couldn’t

even stand the sight of her anymore.

He promised to marry her, but he delayed getting their marriage registered time and again.

Marina knew that some things could never return to how they were. Ethan would never love

her again. Even her father had stopped trusting her like he used to. All she saw in his eyes’ was

disappointment.

She used to get everything she wanted. She couldn’t understand why things turned out like

this. Marina had no choice but to go home and cry to Otto.

“Grandpa, Dad slapped me for that bitch, Olivia, again. He even said he wanted her to be his daughter

instead.”

Otto slammed the table angrily, saying, “How foolish of him. He got played like a fiddle by that mother

and daughter. And he’s even hitting his own daughter for them? Ridiculous!”

Marina felt even more upset. “Grandpa, it’s not just Dad. Even Ethan doesn’t want to see me anymore.

It’s all Olivia’s fault. You have to help me. As long as she’s around, Ethan will never pay any attention to

me.”

Otto patted Marina’s head while looking at her lovingly. “Don’t cry, sweetie. You still have me.

He frowned at the mention of Olivia. “That bitch is so lucky. She survived again.”

The kidnapping last time caused quite a stir. Everyone thought Olivia was doomed, but she managed to

survive against all odds.

Marina wept profusely and said, “Grandpa, please help me. If this continues, even my dad will be

stolen away from me.

“Sweetie, my hands are tied here.”

Otto knew that if he plotted against Olivia and Ethan found out, he’d lose this grandson-in- law that he

approved of. He didn’t want to give up on Ethan because of a woman.

“Then what should we do, Grandpa?”

“Don’t worry, I have my own plans. Just remember to not do anything to Olivia.”

“Understood.”

Otto then asked, “Did you tell your father about the bone marrow compatibility?”

Marina shook her head and said, “Of course not. I hate that woman with every fiber of my being. I wish

she’d die sooner.”

“You don’t have to do anything else. Just keep this a secret and she’ll be dead soon.”

Marina looked at Otto in surprise. “Grandpa, Dad loves her so much. Aren’t you worried that he might

find out?”

“If neither of us tells him, he’ll never find out.”

Marina noticed the glint of bloodlust in Otto’s eyes. She didn’t understand why he hated Chloe

so much.

Otto seemed to know what Marina was thinking. He said icily, “She married into the family but didn’t

even bear a child for us. Even so, your father dotes on her so much. It’s like he wants our bloodline to

end with him.”

Marina was displeased with what Otto said. She responded, “Grandpa, you still have me. And I found

an outstanding grandson-in-law for you. Feel free to rely on him.”

“I know you’re a good kid, but Ethan is too domineering. It’d be fine if he was loyal to you only. But he

still cares for that ex-wife of his. Aren’t you afraid of ending up with nothing if I hand everything to him?”

Sighing, Otto said, “I’ve thought about this for a long time. It took great effort for us to get to where we

are now. I can only hand everything over to a Carlton, so that barren woman has to

go.”
