Chapter 858

Although it was embarrassing, Olivia couldn’t be bothered about it anymore.

She simply wanted to cover her face so that others couldn’t see her.

Her long dress cascaded downward, making her look like an injured mermaid.

While carrying her, Ethan took big strides out of the area. Joshua followed behind while carrying Alicia.

“Get a doctor. Hurry.”

“Got it.”

Ethan wanted to have Olivia, but not in such a situation, hence the annoyance.

Besides, he didn’t know what kind of drugs Flora gave Olivia and whether they would take a toll on her

health

The doctor checked on her while Ethan gave them space. He lit a cigarette in the corridor.

A lot of helicopters appeared above the dark sea.

Joshua’s expression changed. “Mr. Miller, did you hire mercenary soldiers?”

He thought that Ethan would call over the army with his official identity, yet Ethan hired mercenary

soldiers instead!

That way, if things went south, the higher-ups wouldn’t have the right to look into the matter.

Joshua lowered his voice. “No way, our men are in-”

Ethan placed his finger before his lips, signaling Joshua to not say that aloud.

In order not to let others catch on, Ethan established his own army base on an island afar.

Five hours wouldn’t be enough for them to rush over even by helicopters. Thus, whose mercenary

soldiers were they?

“This is urgent, so I asked for some help.”

Help?

Who possibly had such power?

Even though Joshua hadn’t completely understood Ethan, he could sense that something big was

waiting

“What are your plans, Mr. Miller?”

Ethan breathed out a cloud of smoke. “A few years ago, I suspected that someone on our side was

covering Cherno. So, I asked someone to investigate it.”

“Did they find anything?”

“No. The other party caught wind of it and covered their tracks perfectly. But I managed to minimize the

boundary thanks to them.”

Joshua was stunned momentarily. “So you

“Other than sending Liv back, I wanted to confirm my guess. Not long ago, I could basically confirm

who the mastermind is.

Joshua didn’t expect Ethan to be this calm when such an infuriating matter happened.

It was no wonder Ethan dispatched his subordinates who had always worked for him secretly.

Firstly, it was to protect Olivia; secondly, it was to investigate the matter.

“This is a personal grudge between Flora and me. But she broke the rules by selling her guests off.”

Ethan snorted coldly. “If you’re the mastermind, what would you think?”

“I’d never allow such a thing to happen. If the trust is broken, who else would come to the ship?”

“That’s right. But he acknowledged Flora’s move instead of taking action. He didn’t answer my call

when I contacted him. What does this mean?”

Joshua scratched his back. “My head is spinning, Mr. Miller. What does this mean?”

“It means he figured out who we were when Olivia’s mask was taken off. He let Flora have it her way.

It’s his way of making things worse behind the scenes.

“He was gambling that I’d go insane because of Olivia. If I abused my powers, he could take the

chance to oust me.”

Joshua suddenly comprehended the situation. “Mr. Miller, the owner of this ship is…”

He glanced at the side to check if there were any surveillance cameras.

Ethan disposed of his cigarette. “Relax. I destroyed the surrounding cameras when I first boarded the

ship. You’re right. It’s that person in your mind. He wants me dead!”
