Chapter 635
Shane felt a chill when he heard Ethan’s words. He looked at Ethan in disbelief.
“Mr. Miller, wha-what did you say…”
Kelvin brought over a huge bucket carefully. He didn’t hurt himself while doing so because he wore specialized gloves in
advance.
“I’m a fair man. I’ll splash you with ssulfuric acid. If you can dodge it, good for you. But if you get doused in acid, don’t
blme for it.”
Fear flashed in Shane’s eyes. He had already been cut by Ethan. It would be bad if the acid touched his wounds.
Shane knelt on the floor and begged for mercy, groveling with all his might.

Ethan kicked him away and straightened up. He looked at Shane emotionlessly and said slowly, “So you do know that sulfuric
acid can be lethal.
“Yet you splashed it at a woman without hesitation. You know how important a woman’s face is to her, right? If it’s ruined,
how would she live even if the acid didn’t kill her?”
Shane raised his hands and started to slap himself. “Yes. I was a fool. I only cared about myself and didn’t spare others so much as a thought. It’s all my fault. I …”
“Then you should bear the punishment for your mistake.”
Ethan looked at Kelvin and said, “Do it.”
Ethan had already looked into Shane’s background. He’s a compulsive gambler who was down on his luck. He was also Mara’s fan.
After the incident with Olivia and Mara happened, Shane criticized Olivia online. Someone contacted him and gave him smoney to splash sulfuric acid on Olivia.
Shane had been driven to his wits’ end by his debt collectors. He thought it was a good thing to be able to avenge his idol and get paid at the stime.
He agreed to do it without hesitation. But he didn’t expect to land himself into so much trouble.
Ethan walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. After a while, blood-curdling screams could be heard coming from the room.
Ethan was wiping the blood stains from his knife with a towel as Brent stood behind him and reported.
“We’ve looked at everything. They dealt in cash, and the person was very careful. They made the transaction in a palace where there weren’t any surveillance cameras.
“According to Shane, the person is a man. He covered himself up thoroughly and didn’t reveal any defining features.
“His height and build resembles mine, and he didn’t sound like he was from Aldenvine.”
“Is that all you got?”
“Yes. Even his voice had been altered. He was careful not to leave any clues. All we can guess is that the person who wants Mrs. Miller dead is not in the country, but he is a man of means.”
Ethan toyed with his knife and said with a cold expression, “What a pity. I thought we would be able to root him out with how the situation had escalated.

“Be sure to keep our trip abroad under wraps. Don’t raise anyone’s suspicions.”
“Understood.”
Ethan patted Brent on the shoulder and said, “You’ve been through a lot this tround.”
“You’re too kind, Mr. Miller. They didn’t have any evidence, and they couldn’t beat the information out of us. We only had to
record a statement.
“But Xavier Harper seems to blyou for what happened to his sister. He might be trouble. Do I need to cup with a reason to get him transferred?”
“There’s no need. I won’t be staying for long, and we don’t really cross paths often. Be sure to tie up loose ends.”
“Understood.”
Ethan walked into the darkness. They still didn’t know who was plotting against them.
Who was trying to harm Olivia?
