Chapter 603
Even After Death
Brent looked a little panicked. This matter could either be a trivial issue or a huge incident.
Professional assassins would usually lay out the plan beforehand. They would calculate precisely how
they would kill the person and deal with the body.
They would never expose themselves, nor would they leave any fingerprints.
Kelvin was an easygoing person, so that was why he ended up shouldering the blame.
âMr. Miller, that jerk was wearing gloves. There are no fingerprints or any surveillance footage. Kelvin
also happened to be at the scene. Even worse, rumors are starting to appear on the internet.â
Ethan rubbed his wedding ring. In contrast to Brentâs urgency, Ethan looked more calm and reserved.
âWhat rumors?â
âSomeone posted about the incident between Mrs. Miller and Mara. They claimed that we abuse our
power Even news of Maraâs death is making the rounds.
to oppress
others.
âSheâs not too famous, but she made quite a fuss shortly before her death. Also, Kelvin was found at
the crime scene. People started hinting that weâre the ones behind Maraâs death.
âAfter the news gained traction, theyâre now convinced that weâre the ones who did it. Should I settle
this right away?â
Ethan lit a cigarette. âTell the PR department not to deal with any rumors at the moment.â
âWhy? Things have snowballed to this extent in such a short time. If we drag this out, itâs going to
influence Miller Groupâs reputation and share prices even more.â
âTwo reasons. Firstly, it has already gotten out of control. People will only think that weâre feeling guilty
if we spend money to suppress the matter.
âBefore any evidence is found, no one will believe what the PR department says.
âSecondly, we donât know if someone planned this or if it was a mere coincidence. If we fight back
recklessly, we might fall into the trap the enemy laid out beforehand. Thatâll drag us into the pit.â
Brent knew that Ethan was right, but he was still worried about Kelvin.
âThen what should we do now?â
âLook up information on Mara. Weâve never had anything to do with her, so it doesnât make sense that
she would cause trouble for us. Look into her family background and past experiences.â
âUnderstood.â
Ethan puffed out some white smoke through his thin lips. âInvestigate Warren too.â
They couldnât be more familiar with that name. Warren was the main culprit behind the incident that
caused Oliviaâs premature childbirth. Many of Ethanâs men were lost in that incident.
Brentâs gaze instantly turned cold. âSo, Warren was the janitor?â
âI wasnât sure about it before, but now, Iâm convinced.â
After the incident, Ethan researched Warrenâs past in detail.
Even though Warren escaped by luck that night, his leg was injured. He wouldnât have been able to
recover in such a short
time.
In the past few days, Ethan had already issued a warrant for him on the dark web. But there were no
traces to be found.
When he passed by the man just now, Ethan noticed that something was off. That was why he asked
Kelvin to take a look. He didnât expect things to turn out like this.
âWhy would Warren kill an unknown celebrity? Didnât the Black Ravens cancel their bounty on Mrs.
Miller already?
âHe put in so much effort to make this happen, but the most he can do is affect Miller Group a little.
Assassins are only ever in charge of killing people. What does this have to do with him?â
âWe canât say for sure.â Ethan rubbed between his eyebrows. He had a feeling that Warren wasnât
targeting Olivia.
Too many accidents happened today. No one wouldâve expected Olivia to go to the bathroom at that
moment.
If she had gone a little earlier or later, she wouldnât have bumped into them.
âSend someone from the police to ask around. Even if Kelvin appeared at the crime scene, no one has
any evidence that heâs the one who did it. He wonât be charged for now. We still have time.â
âUnderstood.â
It was late in the night.
Olivia was about to go to sleep when she received a news notification on her phone.
When she tapped on it, she saw a blurred photo of Maraâs corpse.
