for hele “I-I wanted to accompany you for a while longer. I didn’t expect to hear you shouting when I reached the door.” Beads of sweat appeared on Mason’s forehead.
“Olivia, I’m sorry, but I have to go. Ethan didn’t see my face just now, so he didn’t know I was the one who hit him. If I send him to the hospital, he’ll know that I’ve knocked him unconscious, and I’m scared. Please, take him to the hospital, and don’t tell him I was here. After that, Mason stumbled out.
Olivia couldn’t help but frown as she watched Mason rush out the door. ‘What a coward.
Ethan had inflicted so much pain on Olivia that when she got up, she kicked the unconscious Ethan a few times. Olivia tried to find a rope to tie him up tightly. Afterward, she took a fruit knife to protect herself, and lastly, she drank some painkillers while waiting for Ethan to wake up.
Half an hour later, Ethan woke up and found himself lying on the floor, unable to move. Olivia, with her face bruised, watched his movements from the sofa. Ethan looked at the cold knife in her hand and was scared. “You, what are you trying to do?”
Olivia raised his hand and slapped him. “Now you know fear, don’t you?”
“B*tch, how dare you slap me? Are you tired of living? Ethan shouted angrily.
Olivia pointed the knife at Ethan’s cro*ch. “Threaten me once more and I’ll cut your chance of having a baby!”
Ethan was scared. To him, being impotent was a worse fate than death. His p’nis was his
his dignity as a man. “Don’t!”
Olivia slapped him again. “Then behave yourself!”
Ethan gritted his teeth and looked at Olivia. She looked furious, She stepped on Ethan’s face and stomped on it. “Olivia, stop it it hurts!” Ethan screamed in pain.
But Olivia shouted, “Why don’t you f*cking take a look at what you’ve done to me?”
Ethan retorted, “Who the f*ck asked you to harm me? You almost got me killed by Gabriel! It took me a whole day to recover in the hospital.”
Olivia was even angrier at his accusation. “What exactly happened? Tell me!”
“Didn’t you find a man named Mike and ask him to come to me for money? He rented a truck and a drum of gasoline to Gina’s car. You hired him to kill her, didn’t you? Or is he one of your bootlickers? F*ck it, you have way too many f*cking bootlickers!”
Olivia’s face was dark red. “Who the f*ck Mike? I don’t know him at all! And what happened to that b*tch Gina?”
“She didn’t get hurt, not even a scratch!” When Ethan said this, he wanted to laugh. He couldn’t figure out how Gina could escape such a grim situation. She had incredible luck.
Olivia gasped and chuckled sarcastically, “So she wasn’t injured?
“Didn’t I tell you? Not a scratch! Otherwise, why would Gabriel strangle me? You know he was head over heels for Gina. Also, Gabriel was in the same car as Gina at that time. So, if Gina died Gabriel would likely die too. Ethan angrily explained.
“That d’mn Mike said he wouldn’t expose me. He promised there would be no evidence even if he died. I believed him. The place where I met him and even the surveillance footage was deleted. But I didn’t expect that kid to be so clumsy by leaving one important recording. That must be your idea. After all, you hate me so much!”
Olivia rolled her eyes at la: “I told you, it wasn’t tur!”

She thought for a moment and added. “Do you think there’s a possibility that Mike wanted to kill Gabriel instead of Gina? Considering Gabriel’s personality. I think it was more likely. Hearing this, Ethan was stunned. He had not thought of this.
“That Mike you mentioned. I believe he investigated Gina’s whereabouts to track Gabriel. If Mike targeted Gina, he would’ve done it sooner.”
Ethan felt enlightened. “You’re saying Mike lied to me from the beginning? So, you hiring him was just his alibi?”
“What did Mike say about them when he met you?” Olivia asked again.
“He said he was angry. Gina caused him a lot of trouble, but I have no idea what Gina had done to him. He didn’t explain.”
“An ex-convict?” Olivia made a bold guess. “I think he had been in jail before.”
After saying that, Olivia browsed the list of wanted fugitives and found Mike’s name. She showed Ethan the information while explaining, “A prison break. He was able to find you because he escaped. Now, do you believe Mike has nothing to do with me? Why would I help him out anyway?”
Ethan didn’t expect he had wronged Olivia. “Then, who instigated it? Ethan was confused.
Olivia was so angry that he kicked his leg again. “No matter who ordered it, the two of us have been f*cking framed. You took the blame for killing Gina Miller, and I’ve been framed as his client. D*mn it, you beat me up for nothing, you uncultured swine!”
“Language! I admit I’ve wronged you, so let me at least compensate you for your medical expenses. Please, stop hitting me.”
“I want 20 thousand dollars!”
“Granted.”
This time, it was Olivia’s turn to be stunned. She Jaitghed and said. “Oh my, it’s rare for you to be so generous. Are you afraid that I’ll kill you?
Ethan’s face stiffened. “Call it character development, Olivia. I’m not the same as before.”
“How are you different from before?”
“I have an important project on hand. If I succeed, I’ll be able to become richer. I’ll be the front face of many international business magazines.” Ethan said proudly.
But Olivia looked skeptical. “Only if you succeed. Do you think you have what it takes? What if you fail?”
“Impossible. It can’t fail. I have a top team of international professionals working under me. There’s only one outcome for this project, and that is to succeed.” Ethan firmly believed, but Olivia sneered. She didn’t buy it at all.
Ethan nodded slowly and looked at Olivia. “I didn’t realize your brain is still functioning. Since you’ve shed a new perspective, I finally know why Mike left a recording behind. He covered his tracks by making me take the blame. Da*n it, he tricked me! Olivia, can you help me find out who hired Mike
“Me? Why should 1 help you investigate?” Olivia was amused. Her analysis just now was luck’s work. If Olivia agreed, she knew she would only cause unnecessary trouble.
“Il give you money! If you find any clues, I’ll give you money, deal? But if you can find out who the mastermind is, I’ll let you join my project”
