Chapter 870
Even After Death
Kelvinâs smile faded. âMr. Miller, are you saying he might come after you?â
âHe wouldâve guessed my identity because of Liv. Do you really think he wouldnât do anything after I
caused him such great losses? Heâll definitely try to hit me where it hurtsâ
âMr. Miller, Mrs. Miller is your Achilles heel. Heâll try to hurt her.â
Ethan had a troubled expression on his face. âBack then, I married her in secret because I was afraid
my identity would be exposed and itâd bring trouble to her doorstep.
âIn the end, her identity was still exposed. Those people even hold some power over her. Other than
the enemies she already has, my identity will bring her the most danger.â
âWhat should we do, Mr. Miller?â
Ethan stood at the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back. His eyes were filled with
determination as he listened to the waves crashing against the reefs.
âIf Liv is my weakness, it would mean Iâm still too weak. Thatâs why those people could threaten me
with her safety. I need to become even more powerful and destroy everyone who would be a threat to
her.â
In the distance, everyone was celebrating. The cash they took amounted to several billion dollars. They
were partying while surrounded by mountains of cash. They were making it rain on the island.
A slender person walked over to Ethan. Kelvin and Brent nodded at him as a greeting and walked
away.
Ethan turned around and saw Henryâs elegant face.
âYouâre giving me over a billion dollars just like that?â
The gentle and noble demeanor was long gone from his face. The top two buttons of his shirt were
unbuttoned, making him seem like more of a player.
âItâs nothing. You really pulled through for me by sending those men at a momentâs notice. I wouldnât
know what to do without them. Is it okay that theyâve now been exposed?â
âWhy would it be a problem? You know how I roll. Weâd hit a location and move to another one. Weâre
just a tiny operation, unlike your establishment. I havenât been to your place in a long time.
âAre you planning for world domination? I heard from my brother that you created several powerful
weapons two years ago.â
Henry had been to Ethanâs military base several times. He was awestruck every time. It didnât look like
a
âIâm just trying to protect myself.â
âYouâre lucky youâre so good at making money. Or else you wouldnât be able to keep such a huge
operation afioat.â
Ethan rubbed his temples with a fatigued expression. âThese things aside, has your woman settled
down yet? I hope you wonât make the same mistakes I made.â
Henryâs expression changed slightly. âDonât worry. Iâm a very nice person. When it comes to treating
women, Iâm usuallyâ¦â
His phone rang before he could finish his sentence.
âItâs me.â
âItâs Ms. Hilton. Sheâs about to jump off a building, Mr. Synder.â
âStop her! Iâll come back right now.â
Henryâs words were proven to be wrong almost as soon as he said them.
He cleared his throat and said, âI have some business to tend to. Iâll be going back. Feel free to call me
if you need anything.
Looking at him leaving frantically, Ethan called out, âEverly is a very headstrong woman. You should
tone down your temper a little, or youâll regret it when you end up like me.â
âI know that.â
The world was silent once again. Only the sound of nature could be heard.
Ethan lay down on the grass and looked up at the starry night sky.
âLivâ¦â He murmured.
If he could start over, he would never treat her the way he had.
People like him had all the power and authority. They always got their way. But in the end, he couldnât
even keep the woman he loved by his side.
It was laughable, but such was life. Even if one was rich and powerful, not everything would go oneâs
way.
