Chapter 962
Three months had gone by. Ethan had tried countless ways to find Olivia but to no avail. He even tried to locate her by tracking Joel.
He had thought Olivia would contact the Golden Medical Institute to further her studies because of Rufus.
That way, he would be able to know where she was and how she was doing, even if he couldn’t see her on a daily basis.
He didn’t want things to be the way they were. He didn’t have any news on her whereabouts.
Ethan was smoking non-stop in his room. Henry was downing glass after glass of alcohol. The atmosphere was incredibly stress-inducing.
It took Henry three whole months to understand his feelings toward Everly. She wasn’t a plaything to her. But even if he understood that, Everly was still nowhere to be found, 1
Even if he wanted to threaten her with her family, he couldn’t even get in contact with her. He had no way of getting to her, and that made him feel helpless.
Ethan was missing Olivia. Although she was safer away from him, he had lost her completely. He couldn’t help but wonder if he had made the right choice.
Henry sneered when he saw Ethan’s brooding expression.
“Now that things have come to this, are you happy now?”
“Honestly, I thought I’d feel better about this.”
Ethan snuffed his cigarette, picked up a bottle of wine, and started chugging it down.
“I miss her. I miss the kids.”
Henry sneered, “I told you. You’re a self-righteous bastard.”
Henry didn’t care if Ethan wanted to set Olivia free. But why did they have to take Everly with them?
He thought about Everly every time he closed his eyes. He could feel her presence in every corner of the office. There were also traces of their intimate moments all over the house.
After Everly’s departure, other women tried to get close to him. But his anger would flare up whenever he saw them. He finally realized that Everly had become irreplaceable for him.
The world was a big place. If Olivia and company changed their identities and hid in desolate places, finding them would be very hard.
These two very powerful men were at a loss for what to do.
Olivia’s foster parents had already passed. She didn’t have anyone else she cared about. As for Ethan, he was the final tie she severed. ’
From then on, she was completely free to go anywhere and do anything.
Ethan couldn’t do anything as years passed.
One year, two years, three …
He still couldn’t forget about Olivia. She was like a wound on his heart that never healed. He would feel a pang in his heart whenever he thought about her.
His position was even more stable after three years. It was finally time for him to kick off the final stages of his ten-year plan.
In the three years that Olivia wasn’t with him, Ethan was able to do a lot of things without reservations. His methods became cold-blooded. He would do anything to accomplish his goals.
Ethan was wearing a mask with a ghost design as he led his men to take down the base of operations in Shadow Valley.
The place was thrown into chaos.
“Mr. Miller, we only managed to capture the second-in- command. Golden Shark managed to escape via a hidden route. This Pufferfish was the one behind the incident in the financial district back then.”
Ethan looked at the man who lay next to his feet. The man had a long scar on his face. Ethan was the one who left it there.
“It’s you.”
“Sova, you bastard. We trusted you ten years ago, yet you betrayed us. And now, you’re doing it again.”
Ethan sneered under his mask. “You’re all murderers and drug smugglers. You’ve harmed countless families. People like you deserve a fate worse than death. It’s time to settle the score from three years ago. Don’t worry, I’ll give you an honorable death.”
Ethan took his foot off the man and said to Brent, “Cut off his head and post the picture to the dark web.”
