Chapter 270
Marina was panicking, but Olivia was relatively calmer. Olivia was sure the outcome would be the same
if Ethan had to pick between them.
She could feel herself back in the freezing waters of the ocean when she closed her eyes. She could
picture Ethan swimming resolutely toward Marina.
That incident haunted Olivia for an entire year. She had just gotten over it. She was about to start over.
“Why…” Olivia muttered.
“Why what?” the person asked.
Olivia raised her chin slightly. Even though she was sprawled on the floor in a humiliating position, she
maintained her defiance.
“Why do you have to play games with us? Do you get a kick out of it?”
The person chuckled. “Of course, it’s fun for me. I think seeing Ethan kill the woman he loves with his
own hands will be very amusing.”

would be all over as soon as she broke free.
“If you have feelings for someone, you should compete fairly. What do you stand to gain from these
schemes?” Olivia was disgusted by the person.
The person hid it well, but Olivia leaned more toward the possibility that they were a woman.
If it was a man who had a grudge against Ethan, the person’s methods would’ve been more violent and
direct. A man wouldn’t waste years setting up a plot. Nor would a man waste so much effort to capture
her and Marina just to force Ethan to pick
between them.
She was sure all of it was the handiwork of a woman. Not only was this woman cruel, but she was also
mentally ill.
There was one thing that puzzled Olivia. This woman targeted the women close to Ethan, so why didn’t
she try to take her place when her relationship with him was at rock bottom these two years? Why was
Marina the one who got together with Ethan instead?
This woman knew Ethan so well. She would have an easier time getting closer to Ethan than Marina if
she wanted to.
But Marina was the only woman who managed to get close to Ethan in these two years. There were no
other women. If this woman wasn’t trying to get with Ethan, why would she plot against Ethan’s
women?
Olivia had many questions she wanted answers to. She wanted to rip off her blindfold to see who the
woman was.
The woman appeared to have guessed what she was thinking. She said coldly, “I’ll be happier than you
can imagine. Do you know why I haven’t killed you yet? Dying is too easy. I want to see you struggle. I
want you to experience all the hardships the world has to offer.”
For the longest time, Olivia could only guess what the woman’s motive was. It was even more terrifying
now that she heard it.

Olivia knew she had never harmed anyone in her life. She didn’t know why this woman would harbor so
much hatred for her.
“Do we know each other? Why do you hate me so much?” Olivia couldn’t help but ask.
This woman hated her so much that she thought death would be a gift for her. The woman hated her so
much she wanted her to live in agony.
“Save your questions for after you’re dead.”
“I know you want me dead. At least let me know why. Tell me if I’ve ever caused you harm. I don’t want
to die with guilt and unanswered questions.”
“Dumbass, I don’t have time for chit-chat. The game is about to start.”
Meanwhile, at the venue of the engagement ceremony, all the media personnel were ready. No one
expected Marina to be late. It was already time for the ceremony, yet she was nowhere to be seen.
Chloe held the hem of her dress as she ran toward Ethan. She had lost her usual elegance.
“Ethan! Something’s wrong, Marina has gone missing!”
The screen that had been showing pictures of Marina was cut off abruptly.
An unfamiliar voice came from the speakers. “Hello, has the ceremony started yet? I’m not late, am I?”
