Chapter 585
Kelvin couldn’t for the life of him understand how the tree could have gotten in Ethan’s way.
Did Ethan run into the tree while he was shopping? He didn’t seem like someone so clumsy, nor did he seem like he would be so petty.
Even a child wouldn’t hold a grudge against a tree, right? Much less an adult. That didn’t fit Ethan’s personality.
Kelvin had seen Ethan raze his enemies to the ground, but it was the first tthey were doing that to a tree.
Brent pulled Kelvin over to the side and whispered, “Just follow the orders you were given. Can’t you see that Mr. Miller is in a bad mood? Everyone else is trying to avoid angering him, but here you are, making matters worse.”
“I was just curious. Mrs. Miller has already returned to him. He should be happy. Why would he come out so late at night just to uproot a tree?”
“Talk less, work more.”

Kelvin started to direct the excavator with the shovel in hand. “That’s right, move forward.”
The excavator suddenly stopped moving as it got closer to the tree. The operator couldn’t start the excavator back up no
matter how much he tried.
“That’s weird. This excavator is new. It was perfectly fine before. Why would it break down now?”
“Damn, is the tree really magical?”
Kelvin’s face paled in fright. He quickly went to Ethan to update him on the situation. Then, he raised his head to see Ethan standing under the streetlamp with a chainsaw in hand. He cast a long shadow on the road.
Kelvin was taken aback. This looked like a scene straight out of a horror flick.
“M-Mr. Miller, are you for real?”
Ethan approached the tree with a stormy expression while carrying the chainsaw.
Ignoring Kelvin, he raised his head to look at the tree. “I told you that if you really had powers, you should do your part. But if you don’t want to bless my relationship with Liv, why should I keep you around?”
Kelvin, who was standing behind Ethan, asked in bewilderment, “Mr. Miller, are you talking to the tree?”
Ethan started revving the chainsaw into life.
“Since you want to destroy my relationship with Liv, I’ll pull you up by the roots.”
That was what Ethan had said when he approached the tree earlier that day.
The clouds started churning, and the snow fell even heavier.
Kelvin held Brent’s hand, stammering, “Brother, I don’t know if Mr. Miller has lost his mind, but the weather is getting terrifying. Was it this cloudy when we arrived?”
Even though the plaza was well-lit by street lamps, the dark, churning clouds were still terrifying.

The sound of the chainsaw drowned out Kelvin’s voice. Ethan raised the chainsaw, poised to swing. But thunder suddenly crackled in the sky.
“Oh my god!” Kelvin yelled in fear.
Generally, there were more thunderstorms in spring and summer. They were relatively rare in winter. There also weren’t any signs before the thunder crackled so abruptly. And it happened above the skies of a spacious plaza at 3:00 am. The hair on
everyone’s back was standing on end.
Even the usually stoic Brent raised his concern. “Mr. Miller, why don’t we stop? It’s pretty dangerous. What if the lightning
strikes…”
In response, Ethan swung the chainsaw at the tree without hesitation. The jarring sound echoed in the plaza.
Ethan’s eyes were bloodshot as he said through gritted teeth, “Since you didn’t want to bless my relationship with Liv, I’ll cut you down! I’ll cut down anything that stands betweenand Liv!”
Ethan was determined to be with Olivia for the rest of his life. No one would be able to stop him.
