Chapter 355
Ethan was surprised that Olivia was able to recognize Leia by her eyes. She had the sthought as him. Ethan began to feel anxious and uneasy.
Olivia was afraid that he wouldn’t believe her. She took a sip of lemon water to moisten her throat and said, “I know this may be hard to believe, but I have a way to validate my claim. We just need to take Jodie’s bones for testing, and the truth will be revealed.”
Ethan gripped his cutlery tighter as he said deeply, “It can’t be done.”
“Why?”
“The body was cremated. The high temperature would have ruined the integrity of the DNA. Even if I allowed you to dig up the coffin and retrieve a sample, you’d only get sashes.”
Olivia slumped back in her chair and said with a shaky voice, “How can that be? I went to her grave this morning. I saw signs that the soil on her grave had been filled back in hastily. Could someone have dug her body up before us?”

“I’ll have someone look into it.”
“It must have been Toxic Hive. They must have gone there to take away the evidence. But this could indirectly prove that…
Ethan interrupted her and said, “Prove what? That my sister is a murderer?”
Olivia knew Ethan would be defensive when she brought up his sister.
“Currently, I suspect that she is.”
“What about her motive? If she did it, why did she do it? Why would she spend so much time, effort, and resources to kill you? She went missing when she was a child. What grudge could she possibly have against you?”
Olivia tried to explain urgently, “I haven’t found out her motive yet. But it’s true that she wantsdead. Last night…”
Before she could tell Ethan about what happened last night, he cut her off impatiently, ” Enough of this. I don’t want to hear any more of this ridiculous story.”
“I know my conclusion sounds absurd or even funny. But don’t you want to get to the bottom of this? Don’t you want to know who sabotaged our relationship behind the scenes? She’s been playing us like fools.”
“Naturally, I’ll get to the bottom of this.” Ethan lowered his head to hide the guilt in his eyes.

Olivia wanted to say something more. Ethan pushed the plate of steak that he sliced up in front of her and said, “Alright, let’s eat for now. I’ll take care of this.’
Olivia understood that Ethan no longer wanted to discuss the matter, so she stopped talking.
They no longer spoke another word after that. After dinner, Olivia wiped her mouth and got up.

Upon hearing that, Ethan threw his knife on his plate and said, “Where are you going?”
“No matter the reason why I returned, I’m back now. We’re divorced. We should keep our distance.”
“I bet you’re going to that Moriarty punk, right?”
Olivia was displeased with how he addressed Colin. But she tried to de-escalate the situation and said, “I told you before, I see him as a younger brother. There’s nothing between us.’
“You might not see him that way, but how can you be sure that it’s the sfor him?”
“I…”
Ethan closed in on her and said, “Liv, there isn’t a single man in the world that would treat a woman well without ulterior motives. Nothing comes for free.”
He lifted her chin with his finger, saying, “Do you know how much effort, time, and money he spent to get you away from me? Your family is already bankrupt. What else would he be after? Liv, every gift has a price. What do you think he wants in exchange?”
Olivia disagreed with his point of view. “Ethan, do you think everyone is as wicked as you? We were friends as kids, which is why he helped me. Just because you’re heartless and indifferent doesn’t mean everyone else is the same.”
