Chapter 374

Olivia’s expression suddenly turned stern at the mention of Toxic Hive. “Mr. Carlton, I’ll be honest with

you. The ones who kidnapped me last time are related to the Toxic Hive. They’re not decent people.”

“I know. I used to hate them to the core. They don’t value human lives, but they can bring back the

dead. For Chloe’s sake, I have no other choice.”

Olivia didn’t know if they were targeting Chloe because of her. But they always had something up their

sleeves, so they might have prepared a trap for Chris.

“If you go to them, you’ll be dealing with the devil.”

“Olivia, are you just going to sit by and watch as Chloe dies?”

If it were last week, she wouldn’t have cared if Chloe died. But last night, Chloe had embraced her.

Olivia couldn’t just watch Chloe die without understanding why.

When Olivia came here, Kelvin told her about the investigation results. No one had entered the ward

except for Marina.

Olivia wondered if Marina would do something so inhumane to her stepmother. She couldn’t figure out

what Marina was trying to achieve.

But those were all Olivia’s guesses. She didn’t have any real proof.

Noticing that Olivia remained silent, Chris patted her on the shoulder. “Olivia, I’ve already made my

decision.”

Olivia watched him leave dejectedly. She felt helplessness spreading throughout her body again.

She didn’t want it to turn out like this, but she had no power or status. She didn’t even know anything

about Toxic Hive.

She wanted to help Chloe, but it was beyond her means. She didn’t know what she should do.

She thought of asking Ethan for help, but he was involved with Leia and Marina.

Ethan was closely related to those two people, who were on Olivia’s blacklist. Olivia didn’t trust him.

Olivia got up. Her purse fell to the floor, and a name card slid out of the open zipper.

She bent down to pick it up, but she stared at the words “Avery Fordham” for a moment.

He was the CEO of an international corporation. He must know about Toxic Hive as well. Olivia

wondered if she could ask him for help.

But they were practically strangers. It might be a little inappropriate for her to ask such things

of him.

Olivia was troubled. When she looked up, she saw a group of people crying pitifully. They looked like

they had just lost a loved one.

Gritting her teeth, Olivia dialed the number on the name card.

She was expecting the call to be unanswered. After all, Avery was a busy man. It should be difficult to

contact him via his work number.

Unexpectedly, after about three beeps, the man’s gentle voice rang out. “Hello.”

Olivia couldn’t believe that the call went through.

Her heart thumped wildly. A little bewildered, she said, “Hello, Mr. Fordham. It’s me, I’m sorry for

bothering you out of the blue.”

Olivia.

When Avery recognized her voice, he sounded a little happy. “Did you encounter some trouble, Ms.

Fordham?”

“Well, yes. I’m wondering if we can meet up and talk about it.”

“It would be an honor.”

The two decided on a place. Then, Avery hung up.

“1

He tapped lightly on Olivia’s documents with his index finger. Beside him, his assistant, Bryce Young

spoke up.

“Do you have any other questions, Mr. Fordham? Ms. Fordham has never gone overseas before, and

her looks might be a coincidence. She probably has nothing to do with the Fordhams.”

Avery sighed as he rubbed between his eyebrows. “Never mind, I was overthinking it. Olivia ooked

exactly like my grandmother when she was young.”

‘Many people look alike in this world. It isn’t too surprising.”

very closed the folder. Then, he smoothed his clothes and got up. “Get the car. Even if we’re ot related

by blood, I still want to meet her.”
