It would have been fine if Ethan hadn't said that. But once he did, Olivia's expression shifted.
"How long are you going to act selfishly under the pretense of doing it for my good?"
Olivia vented all her dissatisfaction.
"I loved you so much in the past, and I gave up everything for you. You have a mysterious job, and I didn't ask you about it.
"I also never asked you where you went on your business trips. I thought that this was my way of loving you, but what became of me in the end?"
"Liv." Ethan wanted to reach out and hold her hand, but Olivia dodged him.
"You know everything about me. When you're happy, you'll gladly spend a large sum to buy gifts for me, spoiling me to no end.
"But when you're upset, you take everything back and deny me every chance of escape, putting me in hell.
"But what about me? From the beginning until now, other than knowing that you're Ethan, what else do I know?
"From the beginning, you loved me like you would love a pet. You thought this was for my good, and that was good for me.
"But in the end, I turned out like this exactly because you were too self-righteous!"
Ethan silently gazed at the fuming Olivia. He didn't realize that she had been so upset with him all this while.
"Liv … I have reasons for doing that. The more people know about my identity, the more dangerous it will be.
"So, the Prescotts moved overseas many years ago. They did it to avoid getting involved in danger."
He sighed. "Never mind. Now that things have come to this point, I'll tell you everything you want to know. My identity was leaked, anyway.
"Brent, reveal everything you've found out. There are no outsiders here, anyway."
After getting his permission, Brent closed the door first. Then, he turned around and said to Olivia, "Mrs. Miller, the incident last night wasn't targeted at you.
"Someone wanted to kill Mr. Miller, and you just happened to be involved in it."
As expected, Olivia's intuition was right. These people's behavior was completely different from those of the others back then.
"Who are they? How dare they do such things?"
"According to the intel I've gotten so far, these people belong to some local underground organizations.
"Our country is very strict in this aspect, so even if there are remaining members, they won't dare to act so boldly."
