It turned out that the Atkinses and the Carltons were family friends. The Carltons invited the Atkinses to hold shares in the Oakland Hospital. Calvin was helping Marina to scout for talents. And that was how everyone ended up at the event.

However, the guests were surprised that Ethan tagged along as well. His presence took the event to the next level. And the guests flocked up to greet him.

Calvin did not abandon Olivia even after Ethan showed up. He handed her some napkins, and their hands touched in a moment of frenzy.

It was warm indoors. So Olivia unbuttoned her down jacket to reveal a knitted white dress underneath. It wasn’t her intention to pick that particular dress, because it accentuated her figure. Lifting her head, she exposed her smooth nape. She looked lovely and doelike.

Ethan noticed the absence of the mark on her neck, symbolizing their faded love. One day, he would put their memories

behind him.

Still, Ethan realized that he was not as cool as he thought when Calvin held Olivia's wrist. And he stared intently at the motion. Calvin immediately sensed his hostile gaze and looked up. But he only found Calista greeting Ethan. Confused, Calvin thought Ethan’s hostility was an illusion.

He greeted Ethan with grace, “Mr. Miller, we were not expecting you! It’s our honor to have you here. Marina, this is the gifted student that I mentioned-Olivia Fordham. Olivia, you should know Mr. Miller by now. And this is Mr. Miller’s-"

Olivia shed her meekness and put on a thinly-veiled hostility. “1 know. That's Mr. Miller’s fiancée.”

She had thought that she’d never cross paths with Ethan. But it didn’t take them long to run into each other.

Calvin smacked his head and chuckled. “Oh, this is embarrassing. Every guest of mine must have known Mr. Miller and Ms. Carlton from all that media coverage on their engagement.”

“I suppose everyone has heard about Mr. Miller’s fiancée. But does anyone know who his ex-wife is?” With a laugh like silver bells, Everly approached the group. She had successfully sold off one of her properties just now.

She was a cheerful and carefree spirit and was pretty. She tied her pink hair into a bun and strutted over in her stilettos. However, her pointed question was a rude shock to the guests around them. “Everly, don’t run your mouth! Mr. Miller doesn’t have an ex-wife.” “Right! He's smitten with Ms. Carlton.”

Everly was determined to even the score on Olivia's behalf. So she fearlessly walked up to Ethan and hissed, “They said you are smitten with Ms. Carlton. How should we describe what you've done to your ex-wife, then? Walking out on her?”

Ethan shut her up. “She’s not worthy of mention.”

With that, he made his way around Everly and Olivia, shocking the guests with his admission. However, he made it obvious that he wanted to drop the topic.. Any sensible guest would tiptoe around it, unlike Everly.

Surrounded by starstruck guests, he glided into the venue. Nobody except for Everly noticed that Olivia was shaking indignantly.

Olivia had not expected Ethan to dismiss their past relationship with such heartlessness. She realized that her precious memories were not worthy of a mention for him and clenched her fists.

Meanwhile, Everly seemed apologetic for her botched attempt at humiliating Marina. It backfired when Ethan shut her down. She also knew that in Olivia and Ethan's divorce agreement, they agreed to keep their past relationship a secret. “Liv, are you feeling unwell? I'll send you home.”
