Chapter 136
Marina quickly ran toward Ethan and said, “It has to be Olivia. You just need to look into her. In the worst–case scenario, you still have Jeff in your hands. If we threaten her with Jeff, she’ll give Connor back.”
Ethan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Marina, his eyes filled with restrained anger.
“Ethan, I…”
“Marina, sometimes I wonder what nonsense goes through your brain.”
Leaning forward slightly, he whispered, “I’d like to split your head open and take a look, if not for Kurt’s sake.”
His deep voice shook Marina, who looked at him in fear. But all she could see was anger in his eyes; an anger so fiery it seemed like it could burn her up.

“You’d better pray nothing happens to them. If not, no one will be able to save Marcus. Not even if Kurt returns from the grave and begs forto spare him.”
Marina’s back was covered in a cold sweat. She slumped onto a chair powerlessly. Was it really not Olivia’s doing? What happened to her child?
Ethan stood before a map. Brent analyzed it and said, “There’s an archipelago nearby. It encompasses over 300 islands. A lot of those are unrecorded desert islands.”
“Send drones to scout out the islands. You can exclude the inhabited islands. Focus your efforts on the islands that have complex terrains and don’t have a lot of natural resources. Be careful not to alert the kidnappers. And keep the operation a secret.”
“Understood.”
“Have the fingerprints on the bullet been extracted?”
Brent quickly said, “Yes, I’ve also run them through our database. There are no matches yet.”
“If we can’t track them using the fingerprints, try looking into the bullet and the guns. Go look around the black market. These guns are not very common these days.”
“Yes, Mr. Miller.”
Olivia woke up in a daze, but she remembered what happened. Quickly sitting up, she opened her eyes. She wanted to see where Connor was, but a dagger was placed on her throat.
The person holding said in a raspy voice, “Don’t move.”
Olivia saw that she was in a run–down cabin. This place shouldn’t be far from the seaside. She could hear the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.
She looked at the man beside her with the corner of her eye. She saw that the man wore black. She felt that the blade on her neck was very sharp, and she also saw that Connor was not in the room.
Tensing, she said, “I won’t move. Go easy on me.”
The man asked, “Tell me, why did you jump on the boat last night?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough she did not know who these men were, she knew that the enemy of her enemy was her friend.
“I did it for the kid.”
“According to what I know, you’re not his mother or his nanny. You risked everything for a stranger’s son?”
“A stranger’s son? It’s the son of my enemy, to be exact,” Olivia said with a smirk.
She continued to explain without the man asking, “Two years ago, I had a happy family. I had a loving husband until a woman appeared. She had a baby with him, and she pushedoff a cruise ship a year ago in winter. I was pregnant.
“Then, I lost my child and my husband. My father becill and fell into a deep coma. My family becbankrupt. The woman took my husband and becthe new Mrs. Miller. She even got to hold a birthday party for her son.”
Olivia gritted her teeth in anger. The man did not expect to get such a convoluted story from a single question.
“You’re…”
Olivia closed her eyes and slowly said, “Ethan Miller’s ex–wife.“
