Olivia woke up, regaining consciousness. She had a splitting headache. In the elevator, someone had covered her nose and mouth with a drugged handkerchief.The effects of the drug still lingered. Olivia felt weak and sore all over her body.Her eyes were covered with a thick piece of black cloth. She couldn't see any light at all.Her wrists and ankles were tightly bound as well. Tied up firmly, she couldn't move.She was trapped in a narrow space, and she could smell something rotting.She tried to feel around. She soon realized that she was squeezed tightly, and there wasn't much space for her to move around.Soon, she figured out where she was. She was in the trunk of a car.For some reason, she suddenly thought about how Jodie died.Jodie was strangled to death before getting tossed into the ocean. She was only discovered when her body was distorted from all the swelling."Is it my turn now?" Olivia wondered.She must have provoked the mastermind by working at Miller Grou

The person's voice was deliberately disguised so that it couldn't be distinguished. But when the person tilted Olivia's chin with their fingers, Olivia caught a faint scent of herbs. Olivia had only studied modern medicine, so she had little knowledge of herbal medicine. She wasn't able to tell what kind of herbs she was smelling or even if it was a mixture of several herbs. "Do you plan to kill me?" Olivia asked directly. "Your life is not in my hands." Olivia frowned, confused. She didn't understand what other motive the person would have for bringing her to a place like this. "What do you mean?" Olivia felt more uneasy after she learned that she wouldn't be killed. If they were keeping her alive, it would surely have something to do with Ethan."I'm already divorced from him. I have nothing now. What else do you want from me?" The person's fingers tightened around Olivia's chin. Olivia winced in pain, but she didn't make a sound. "You're a smart woman. I can see why h

The Carltons were already on the scene. Chloe stood out the most. She wore a cocktail dress paired with a shawl, looking elegant and dignified. She held onto Chris' arm and had a bright smile on her face. It was as if her biological daughter was the one getting engaged. Ethan felt uncomfortable when he looked at her smile. Brent quickly replied to Ethan's question, "Mr. and Mrs. Carlton came ahead of time. They're here to mingle with the guests. Something went wrong with Ms. Carlton's dress, so the people worked overtime last night to get it fixed. "Ms. Carlton went to get her makeup done and tried the dress on early this morning. She should be here soon."Ethan knew Marina well. It was the engagement party that she had wanted so badly. She wouldn't be late if she could help it. She would want to come as soon as possible and show off. But it was getting late and she still hadn't arrived. Ethan found that to be weird. All the equipment on site had been checked several times.

Marina was stunned by what the person said. She understood what the person wanted to do. "What's the meaning of this? Didn't you tell me that you wanted to work with me?" "Work with you? Someone like you isn't worth my time," the person said with a smirk. Fear began to consume Marina, and her expression paled. Her lips quivered as she said, "Don't … Don't you know who I am? My husband is Ethan Miller. He won't let you off easily if you lay a hand on me." Marina felt a sudden pain on her torso. A foot was pressing down on her waist. She had never been humiliated like this except for the time Olivia attacked her. "I'm warning you. You'd better be prepared to put your life on the line if you want to hurt me …"Before Marina could finish her sentence, the foot pressed down harder on her waist. She winced in pain. "You're the one who should know your place. Olivia is smarter than you. She didn't try to anger me." Marina finally understood that she was in the same predicamen

The voice from the speakers caught everyone's attention instantly. All the media personnel pointed their cameras at the screen. They could see the sea on the screen. A person wearing a panda costume appeared on the feed. Nothing could be discerned from the person's voice or figure. Kelvin ran to Ethan and reported, "Our computers have been hacked."Ethan signaled to Brent with his eyes. He instantly knew what he had to do. Marina had yet to show up. It was apparent that something had gone wrong. Ethan stood with his hands behind his back and a stormy expression on his face. He didn't expect something to happen today.To pick this particular day to take action, the culprit had gone to great lengths to plan their move.Ethan instantly thought up several ways to handle the situation. Brent quietly moved away. He was going to try and track the broadcasting signal to locate the enemy. In the meantime, Ethan would be responsible for buying time. He stared coldly at the screen an
