On their third wedding anniversary, Casey Barnes was in a car accident and broke her spine.

Ethan Olson picked her up from the pool of blood and ran to the hospital like crazy, but she still lost a kidney.

In despair, the man knelt down affectionately, “Casey, let me take care of you from now on and be your lifelong support.”

The next day, she unexpectedly overheard the conversation between Ethan and the attending physician.

“Mr. Olson, you deliberately caused a car accident to save Miss Haley. Not only did you cripple your wife, you also took advantage of the opportunity to steal her kidney. She even has to draw blood regularly. How do you expect her to live the rest of her life?”

The man curled his lips and smiled coldly. “Her brother killed my sister, so I will make her suffer so much that she would rather die than live.

“Besides, I promised Lily that I would only love and marry her in this life. As for that bitch Casey, she is only worthy of being her artificial organ bank and blood bank!”

It turned out that the world was hell and what she thought was love was just a longplanned revenge.

In that case, let’s never see each other again in this life.

——

"Mr. Olson, are you certain you want to proceed with this?

“Given your wife's fragile condition of having just undergone kidney removal surgery, her body can hardly endure frequent blood draws.

“She has been your legal wife for three years!"

Ethan ignored the doctor's distress and flipped through Lily's physical examination report.

“Oh, is the daughter of my enemy worthy of being called my wife?

“Ten thousand Casey’s combined are not worth a strand of Lily's hair. As long as she is safe and healthy, it does not matter what price that bitch pays.”

The doctor was furious and took a deep breath.

“If your affair with Miss Haley is exposed, our entire hospital will be in trouble. It is illegal to remove organs without permission!”

Ethan could not help but curl his lips and sneered, “She'll never find out.

“Even if she found out, what would it matter? Anyway, Casey loves me so much that she is willing to die for me.

“Don’t talk too much. I will give you a sum of money after the matter is completed, enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life.”

After saying this, the man walked away, glancing at the unconscious woman on the bed before leaving.

“Do things cleanly and avoid future troubles.”

The footsteps gradually faded away and the palefaced woman opened her eyes in despair, tears instantly bursting out.

It turned out that the car accident that almost cost her her life was planned by her husband in order to save Lily.

It turned out that her selfrighteous love was just a stepping stone that Ethan had long planned to take revenge on her brother.

It turned out that the three years of love and affection had already been secretly priced by the man she entrusted her life to.

In that case, she did not want him anymore.

“Casey, you finally woke up!”

Ethan came in the afternoon. The man knelt beside her bed with heartache, took her hand and kissed it on his lips.

He embodied the image of a devoted husband.

Casey's eyelashes trembled violently and she barely managed to keep her voice as she spoke, “Hubby, thank you for coming to save me in time.”

Ethan smiled gently and handed the tonic medicine in his hand to her, his eyes full of concern.

“Casey, drink the medicine quickly. You are weak and I am afraid you won't be able to stand the blood draw later.”

He smiled and continued to blackmail her, “You know, Lily's condition is getting worse. Do you want to watch her die?”

Casey thought of their conversation just before and the blood in her body ran cold from head to toe.

“I feel unwell, dizzy and want to vomit. I don't want to have blood drawn.”

Ethan's expression changed almost instantly.

"If you refuse, then our marriage ends.

"I've already had the divorce agreement drafted, you’ll be liable for hundreds of millions in liquidated damages.

"Wifey, I don’t want it to come to this, but Lily can't wait any longer."

Before they got married, they had drawn up an agreement that Ethan would pay for her brother's expensive medical expenses.

As Lily's playmate, her job was to take care of her sick body.

But Casey never expected that such a huge penalty would be waiting for her three years later.

Ethan pinched her chin and poured the liquid into her mouth, not giving her a chance to refuse.

“Please, wifey, you have been a good wife since then, it would be great if you were so obedient earlier!”

The effect of the medicine took effect quickly and Casey only felt a surge of blood in his lower abdomen, followed by a knifelike pain.

The woman wailed in a state of agony, her screams echoing throughout the entire ward.

Ethan hurriedly called the doctor back and gave the order.

“Let's get started. Don't let Lily wait too long.”

Casey only felt that the blood was flowing out faster and faster, he was sweating all over and almost fainted.

Is she going to die?

After the effect of the anesthetic wore off, she heard Ethan let out a long sigh of relief and with a wave of his hand he gave a raise to all the doctors.

The man walked away without ever looking at the woman, who was as shabby as a piece of paper on the operating table.

Casey was completely disheartened and stared at the ceiling with wide eyes.

She wondered why she had not died yet.

The next day, Lily, who Ethan said was about to die, appeared at the door of the ward.

The girl smiled brightly, called her ‘Auntie’ and handed the thermal lunch box to her.

"Auntie, I made this soup for you. Please, have a taste.

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to thank you for donating blood. I have no ill intentions.

"Besides, Uncle told me to take good care of you!"

Lily raised her tone, obviously using Ethan to put pressure on her. Casey took the lunch box, opened it and took a deep breath.

Then, under Lily's gaze, she took a careful sip.

There was a strange smell in the air and tiny hairs floating on the broth. Something was wrong.

A thought suddenly appeared in Casey's mind. So, she asked, “Where's the puppy? Did anyone feed it during the days I was unconscious?”

Lily smiled innocently, pointed at the soup in her hand and tilted her head.

"Eh? Auntie, didn't you taste it? Knowing how much you missed it, I made sure to bring it back right away.

"Auntie, how does the local dog you raised like your own child taste? Are you satisfied with my cooking skills?"

Almost instantly, Casey's eyes went dark, goose bumps appeared all over her body. She turned her head and vomited the acid in his stomach all over the floor.

The furry creature she had raised for three years was skinned, its tendons removed and stewed into soup.

Lily, how dare she?!

Casey's eyes were uncontrollably filled with bloodshot and she could no longer bear it, so she slapped Lily in the face.

“I have a clear conscience and have been so devoted to you over the years. But you won’t even let go of a living life. Why did you do this to me?! "

Lily's face was swollen, the corners of her mouth were raised and her eyes were filled with hatred.

“Why? You were born to be a slut. You seduced my uncle to marry you and even made him fall in love with you.

“How can a person like you who has no parents and a lowly fate have the honorable title of Mrs. Olson?”

She covered her nose in disgust and slowly opened her lips under Casey's numb gaze.

"Oh, by the way, let me share a little secret with you.

"The ashes you've been praying to so devoutly on the altar for the past three years? They're actually Lilibeth.

"As for your brother's ashes... Uncle fed them to a dog at my suggestion."

Seeing the woman in front of her widen her eyes in shock, Lily laughed triumphantly.

“Auntie, if you taste it carefully, you may still taste your brother in your mouth.”

Casey’s vision blurred as darkness clouded her eyes. She bit down on her lip so hard that the sharp tang of blood spread across her tongue.

She could no longer endure it. Her knees buckled and she collapsed to the ground, sobs wracking her body as tears poured down her face.

It was the final blow, the last straw that shattered her completely.

At night, as soon as she entered the ward, Ethan smashed the phone on her head.

“Casey, are you fucking crazy?” he yelled. “Who gave you the guts to hurt her? I've never said a harsh word to Lily since she was a child.”

The blood from the temple slowly flowed to the face, warm and moist and pain followed.

Casey swallowed the bitterness in his throat, “Ethan, don't you want to ask me the reason?”

“The puppy we picked up together three years ago was killed by Lily and stewed into soup. Is this a good enough reason?”

Ethan's brows relaxed for a moment, then frowned fiercely. He slapped the woman in the face, causing her to fall off the bed.

"Shut up! You're lying again. There's no way Lily would do something like that!

"You must have done something despicable to provoke such a gentle girl. And even if it’s true, it was just a dog. It's better off dead."

Just a dog that was better off dead?

Casey struggled to get up from the ground. At that moment, her heart died and the man in her memory also died.

Someone rushed in from outside the door and reported, “Mr. Olson, it's bad. Miss Haley committed suicide by cutting her wrists in the room. She fainted due to heavy bleeding.”

Ethan reacted and glared at Casey fiercely. "It's all your fault, you bitch! If anything happens to Lily, you're the only one to blame!"

Then, with a terrifying expression, he sneered, "Lack of blood? That’s an easy fix. Make her replenish twice as much as Lily lost."

Casey was tied to the operating table by a group of bodyguards.

Ethan ordered the doctor not to give her the anesthetic injection. He wanted her to experience the same pain that Lily had experienced.

“Draw now! Draw as much blood as Lily needs. Collect the excess blood and use it as an artificial blood bank.

“No need to hold back. This woman's life is worthless anyway. It's time to make her pay the price.”

Halfway through drawing blood, the doctor in a white coat ran out in a panic and told shocking news, “Mr. Olson, we really cannot continue to draw blood. Your wife cannot bear it.

“Also… she’s been pregnant for two months.”

Casey was physically and mentally exhausted throughout her pregnancy.

During the day, she was looked after by a group of caregivers and was given nutrient solution immediately if she went on a hunger strike.

At first she wanted to resist, but Ethan ordered his men to unplug the Internet cable in the villa and confiscate her phone, completely cutting off all contact between her and the outside world.

Casey could not bear it any longer and dragged her tired body to knock on Ethan's door.

“Ethan, let's get a divorce. I will find a way to pay you back the huge penalty later. Let me go, okay?”

No matter how Casey begged, the man remained unmoved. He looked at her as if she were a dead person. The woman was completely driven crazy.

“With your status and position, there are plenty of women out there who are willing to bear your children. Why are you so obsessed with me?!”

“Ethan, please, let me and the child go,” she begged. “As long as you agree, I am willing to give your beloved Lily a place. You can even ask me to kneel down in front of her and kowtow to her!”

The lights flickered, casting eerie shadows across the room.

With a look of utter disgust, Ethan sneered, "Casey, are you that cheap?"

His voice dripped with mockery. "Aren't you the one who always thinks you're superior? The one who refuses to admit your mistakes?"

The woman laid on the ground. She no longer had the innocent smile she once had. Instead, she looked haggard as if she had been forced into becoming a resentful woman in the deep palace.

“I was wrong, Ethan, I know I was wrong, I apologize to you and Lily, okay?

“I should not have slapped her, I should not have gotten pregnant with your child and the worst thing I should have done was fall in love with you in this deal.

“I was wrong, I will never do it again, please let me go!” she pleaded again and again.

Ethan stood up, pinched Casey's chin, looked left and right at the slap marks he had left on her and was very satisfied as he asked, “Wifey, why are you still so naive?

“The blood of my Olson Family will never be left outside. I promise you that as long as you give birth to the child safely, we will live a good life in the future. Also, the honor and title of Mrs. Olson will still be yours.

“As for divorce, there's no way we can get divorced. After all, how could I let you go when your brother refused to let my sister go at that time?

“I want you to live in my hands for the rest of your life, to see you living a life worse than death, to see you begging for mercy.”

He looked at the woman's deathly pale face, a trace of heartache seemed to pass through his eyes and he helped her up.

Then he added, “Until I'm completely tired of you.”

When she was five months pregnant, late at night, Casey got up and drank water, holding her big belly.

Lily’s screams of pain and enjoyment came from the room downstairs, like a cat in heat in spring, echoing throughout the villa.

Ethan opened the door and met Casey's eyes, feeling a little surprised.

The next second, he raised the corners of his mouth mischievously before he said, “It just so happens that we have run out of condoms at home. Go out and buy a few boxes yourself.”

How ridiculous.

Ethan actually asked his wife to buy family planning products for him and his lover.

“Don't you understand what I'm saying? Lily is still waiting inside!

“Casey, who are you pretending to be wronged for? I am a normal man with physical needs. When my body desires, I should find someone to satisfy it, right?”

“You look like a sea lion with your big belly now, it's disgusting. I won't do it even if you beg me.”

Casey had a numb expression and allowed him to insult her at will, but her heart was calm.

People who had long since lost their hearts had no emotions or desires.

Turning around, Lily rashly ran out of the room, pushed her down the stairs and then screamed.

“Uncle, what should I do? It's all my fault!”

Casey frowned in pain, his stomach was like a deflated balloon and blood was gushing out from under her body.

Ethan looked at her with suspicion and was about to go down to help her when he was stopped by Lily.

“Don't go. This woman is good at pretending! If you go down now, she will only become more dependent on you in the future.”

Lily’s casual words ruined her life.

“Uncle, don't forget that it was her brother who killed Lilibeth. Blood debt must be paid with blood. She should pay the price.”

Ethan believed it and ordered his men to help Casey up and make her kneel upright on the ground.

“Are you still pretending? If you don't want to get up, then kneel here and listen to the sounds of me and Lily making love!”

That night, Lily's screams did not stop until the early morning and Ethan seemed to be working harder than usual.

Casey, who had been kneeling for a whole night, could no longer hold on and fainted.

She woke up again in the hospital, with the smell of disinfectant lingering in her nose.

Lily ordered someone to bring out a bowl of herbal medicine, pinched her chin and poured it into her mouth.

She smirked, her eyes gleaming with cruel satisfaction.

"It's an abortion pill. Go on, drink it!" she taunted.

Her voice turned sickly sweet as she continued, "I had someone find this special formula just for you. It's meant for livestock—once you take it, not only will you lose the child in your womb, but you'll bleed from all seven orifices. Not even the gods can save you."

Relying on the last bit of willpower in her mind, Casey held her hand tightly and the bowl fell to the ground with a bang.

The truth unraveled and Lily waved her hand, a sly smile curling at the corners of her lips before breaking into a sneer.

"Do you know why my uncle married you?" she taunted.

She let the question linger before answering herself. "Of course, it's because I was kidnapped as a child and had my uterus removed, so that I can never have children!"

Her voice dripped with bitter amusement as she continued, "The Olson Family adopted me because I look like Lilibeth. I've given them everything over the years, so why would I settle for being just an orphan? What I truly desire is the position of the Olson Family's young lady."

Casey was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She endured the nausea from morning sickness, raised her hand high and was unable to utter a complete sentence.

“You... you two are in cahoots with each other, is not that enough?”

Unexpectedly, Lily suddenly took out a fruit knife from her pocket, cut her own face with a loud slash and blood immediately flowed out.

Before falling, she leaned over and whispered in the woman's ear, “No, this is far from enough. I want my uncle to completely hate you and the bastard in your belly.”

The next second, Casey was pushed away by her forcefully and her forehead hit the corner of the chair. The pain intensified and blood began to seep out.

She fell to the ground in pain, covering her face with her hands, at a loss, scaring Ethan, who came behind her, so much that his face turned pale.

“Uncle, it hurts so much, am I going to be disfigured?” she screamed in agony. “I kindly prepared a bowl of medicine for my auntie to preserve her pregnancy, but she actually slashed my face with a knife, saying she wanted to scratch my face, which looked like Lilibeth!”

Casey's eyes were dazed. Before she could say anything, Ethan pushed her hard.

She tried to defend herself, her voice trembling as she said, "It wasn’t me… With this pregnancy weighing me down, how could I possibly have the strength to stab someone with a knife?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Ethan's eyes and then he was brought back to reality by the crying girl in his arms.

"Uncle, am I going to die?" she whispered, her voice laced with fear. "Just like her brother did to Lilibeth… will I also leave you forever?"

The man lowered his head and spoke softly to comfort her. When he looked at Casey again, his eyes held nothing but cold disgust.

"You truly are a bastard, just born but never raised," he sneered. "No wonder you were discarded at birth and left to rot in an orphanage.

"Just look at yourself now, spiteful, jealous and utterly repulsive. How disgusting!"

Under Lily's stimulation, Ethan threw all the embarrassing words in his heart at Casey.

As expected, the closest people knew each other's weakest points best and blood would come out if they were stabbed.

Casey's face turned pale instantly and she spoke softly in disbelief, “What did you say?

"Three years ago, you promised me a home, you swore to take the place of my cruel parents and love me forever. "But now… why have you become like this?

"Ethan, you knew it would break me, yet you still said it, didn’t you?"

A trace of struggle flashed across Ethan's face and he looked hesitant, as if he knew he had said the wrong thing and was anxious to make up for it.

“Casey, I didn't mean to…."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lily. She started crying in his arms and her tears could not be stopped like a broken faucet.

"Uncle, please don’t blame me for the quarrel between Auntie and me. It’s all my fault—I shouldn’t even exist in this world.

"Put me down. I’d rather kneel on the ground and kowtow to Auntie until she is satisfied. Even if I die like this, I would rather not bring shame upon you."

Lily buried her head sadly in Ethan's arms, glanced at her nonchalantly and added, “It's just that my young auntie did not seem to want to.

“She said I was shameless and that I was still clinging to her husband even though I was so old. She also said that I was a bitch, just like Mrs. Olson, waiting to be the third party to interfere in other people's families and then get promoted.

“Auntie, yes I admit I am shameless, but this matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Olson."

Casey felt a chill in her heart. The disgraceful history of Ethan's mother's rise to power was always the biggest thorn in his heart.

“You evilhearted bitch, what else do you have to say? If Lily gets a scar on her face, I will never forgive you!”

He picked up Lily and walked out without ever looking at Casey again.

The woman wiped the tears from her face and caressed the baby in her belly, with only a last glimmer of hope left in her eyes.

Lily was not disfigured, but she insisted on asking Ethan to go to the temple with her under the pretext of praying for herself and her deceased Lilibeth.

The man pulled her up from the hospital bed when she was eight months pregnant, as if giving her alms.

“Casey, I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins.

“Your knife skills are just a little bit off. If you stab her eyeball, Lily will never be able to open her eyes and see me again.

“Your sins are so great. Please wash away the sins for you, your brother and the child in your belly.”

In order to make the prayer work, Ethan asked her to climb up the rugged path with a big belly, while he and Lily watched from the side.

“Climb all the way up! You should be glad I did not make you climb up on your knees.”

In the middle of the conversation, when Ethan just made a call, Lily could not help but do something bad.

With a slight push from behind, Casey rolled down the hillside, her body covered in blood and a hot stream flowing from her lower body.

When Ethan arrived, the woman was kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

Casey clutched his arm tightly, not caring about her image at all, her eyes filled with her final desire as she begged, “It hurts, it hurts so much. Ethan, save our child, I beg you.

“This is your own flesh and blood. I carried it for eight months. I really cannot live without it.”

There was a hint of struggle in Ethan's eyes. He gritted his teeth and picked up the woman on the ground in front of Lily.

"Casey, don't be afraid. I promise," he said with the same sincerity as when he once vowed to protect her.

After hearing these words, Casey breathed a sigh of relief and fell into a coma.

She had a dream. In the dream there was Ethan. The man was holding a delicate little girl in his arms.

He raised his hands high with a smile on his face as he said, “Casey, look at our daughter, she is so beautiful, her nose and mouth look so much like yours.

“Her personality is very similar to mine, stubborn and brave. She will definitely achieve great things in the future. I need to think carefully about giving her a unique name.

“Casey, look! Our daughter is smiling. The higher I raise my hand, the more she smiles. She is so adorable.”

Casey was immersed in a sweet dream, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth and she was just about to ask if she could hold the baby.

In front of her, the man gently raised the little baby in his hand and the next second, he threw it hard to the ground.

After waking up from the dream, Casey broke out in a cold sweat.

She suddenly opened her eyes, sat up straight and ignoring the blood transfusion needle in her hand, she pulled out the needle and went out of bed barefoot.

The ground was so cold. She felt dazed for a moment and her stomach felt even emptier. Her belly, which had been full like a swollen ball, suddenly deflated.

Then, where was her child?

Through the glass window, she could hear a loud conversation outside. Casey forced herself to regain her sanity and tiptoed to the side.

In a private hospital, a doctor in a white coat cradled a tiny baby in her arms, his voice trembling with disbelief.

"Mr. Olson, why are you doing this?" the doctor pleaded. "Even if you despise your wife and refuse to acknowledge your own bloodline, the baby is innocent!

"This little girl, born prematurely at barely four pounds, fought so fiercely to survive. She endured a landslide and still kept breathing. With proper care, she could live.”

"How could you..." His voice cracked as he stared at him in horror. "How could you smother her to death with a pillow?!"

With a click, tears fell rapidly, hitting the ground one by one.

Casey's heart broke into pieces.

It was gone after all.

Ethan killed her and her child with her own hands.

The man in front of her still looked cold and indifferent. He turned away and even thought it was dirty to take a look at the package in the doctor's arms.

“She should die early and be reborn sooner. She doesn't deserve to be born into this world.

“I promised Lily that I would only take care of her in this life and no one can take away my love for her.

“Besides, how could I let a woman of low status give birth to my child? Clean up this before Casey wakes up, understand?”

The doctor in a white coat looked at the bruised baby in his arms with pity and nodded.

“Mr. Olson, don't worry, I will keep this to myself and no one else will know about it,” he promised.

Ethan nodded perfunctorily and answered a phone call with obvious nervousness on his face.

“Lily was seriously frightened by that woman this time. I have to go and accompany her immediately.

“The baby girl should rush into the sewer immediately. I'll leave Casey to you. You know what to say.”

In the ward, Casey felt chilled to the bone, lying on the bed like a rusty machine, lifeless.

Lily boldly seduced Ethan and the two of them were so passionate that they could not help but start burning with passion on the bed next to her.

With tears shimmering in her eyes, Lily coaxed Ethan softly, "You two should get a divorce.

"I regret it. I don't want her carrying your child and I refuse to let you sleep with her just to produce an heir!"

Ethan's body swayed slightly at her words. His gaze darkened, sharp and unwavering as he looked straight at her.

"Impossible," he stated coldly. "Casey has been by my side for three or four years. She is a dutiful wife and a worthy Mrs. Olson.

"Anything else, I can agree to. But divorce? Never."

A flash of hatred emerged in Lily's eyes. She took out a bottle of pills from her arms and spoke in a pretentious tone, “In that case, feed this to her.

“If she eats one, she will be infertile for the rest of her life, just like me, a hen that only eats but cannot lay eggs.”

However, Ethan was speechless for a moment.

“Why? Are you reluctant to give it up?” Lily asked in agony.

Ethan firmly held Lily's small hand and kissed it gently.

“Of course not. You are the most important person in my heart. No one can compare to you.

“Otherwise, I have killed my own flesh and blood with Casey just for you before, so absolutely, I can do this thing.”

At the moment when the pill was about to enter her mouth, Casey opened her eyes, they were empty and clear.

This moment suddenly frightened the two of them. Lily took a step back and looked at her with an uncertain look.

The woman's eyelashes trembled slightly and she pretended to be someone who had just woken up, looking at her belly with shock on her face.

“I... what's wrong with me?”

Ethan immediately looked worried and patted her back slowly with both hands, his tone sad as he answered, “I… the doctor could not save our child, I’m sorry.

“The doctor said you fell from such a height and it’s a miracle you survived. The baby, however… was lost on the spot."

Ethan’s voice was calm, almost reassuring. He reached for her hand, his grip firm yet devoid of warmth.

“Casey, don’t worry. The doctor said that if you take good care of yourself, we can always have another child in the future.”

Lily stopped looking at her and came up to her with a bright smile on her face as she reassured her more, “Yes, auntie, you must not be so careless in the future.

“If it were not for your negligence, the child might have been born healthy a long time ago. It's such a pity."

Tears rolled down her eyes, Casey nodded gently, then laid back sadly, with her back to Ethan.

“You guys go out, I want to be alone,” she ordered coldly.

Lily's face changed and she winked at Ethan. The man stepped forward and lifted her upper body.

“Casey, this is a pill specially prepared by the doctor for you. It will help you recover. Eat it quickly and take care of yourself so we can have more children.

“Tomorrow is our fourth wedding anniversary. I will hold a grand banquet for you and give you the most expensive gift. You will still be the most glorious young lady of the Olson Family in Nether!”

The hatred and anger suppressed in her heart grew little by little. Casey clenched her fists tightly and spoke lightly, “What a coincidence! I also have a gift for you tomorrow.”

Lily stared at it eagerly as she asked, “Auntie, what gift is it? We'll wait and see.”

Casey smiled and in front of her, she took the pill from Ethan's palm, put it in her mouth and took a sip of water.

After the two left, there was gradually no more noise outside. Casey immediately rushed into the toilet, scratched her throat and vomited all the pills. The acid mixed with blood made a mess.

The woman's face was calm, but there were sharp cold thorns flashing in her eyes.

On the second day, a banquet was held. The guests who attended were all important figures in Nether and even many media reporters came.

When the process reached its climax, no one noticed anything wrong until someone ran in in a panic and reported, “Mr. Olson, your wife is missing!

“The only thing we found in the ward was a signed divorce agreement and some clothes for the child that your wife had sewn herself.

“Someone fished out a headless female corpse in the moat on the way to the airport. It's probably her.”

Ethan stood up suddenly. These reports were like thunder and the blood in his body froze.

“What did you say?!"

“Mr. Olson, we did find the flight information in your wife's phone and got the taxi driver's confession.”

Ethan could no longer hold on and fell backwards with bloodshot eyes.

“How... how is it possible?!"

At this moment, Lily screamed, her eyes widened in horror and she pointed at the fonts that began to jump out of thin air on the big screen in the banquet hall.

“Three… Two… One!”
