Chapter 567
Most of Ethan’s men were like him. They were silent and expressionless.
But Elias was an exception. He was a wildcard and had an impish temperament.
There was no reply. Milton was smoking, and his shoulder was bleeding.
He said mockingly, “Do you think she’s under the water? There’s a strong current under there. She’d be dead if she went down.
”
Elias ignored Milton. He added, “I’ll be getting to the final round. Don’t worry, Mrs. Miller, I’ll help you accomplish what you
want to do.”
Before Milton could insert a snide remark, someone emerged from the water.
Milton was about to scream in shock, but he saw a pale-skinned woman who was the embodiment of perfection coming out of the water.
The water washed away Olivia’s disguise. Her skin looked like it was paler than before. It was like she was glowing.
Her hair and face were soaked. She looked like a mermaid.
All the men were dumbfounded when they saw her face. They’ve never seen such a gorgeous woman before.
Elias already knew that Olivia was wearing a disguise. Like the scar on her face, for instance. It was initially below her eye, but it shifted a few inches.
He was sure that the woman that Ethan was in love with wouldn’t be too ugly. But he didn’t expect Olivia to be so beautiful.
Olivia didn’t realize how much of a shock her looks were to the men before her. Even Elias was taken aback.
“You mean
…
”
Just as Olivia was going to speak, she saw Elias motioning for her to be quiet. Olivia remembered that there were other people around and stopped talking.
Elias pulled Olivia out of the water by her arm. She was then dropped to the ground.
“I’m sorry. I’m just a ruffian, and I don’t know how to treat a lady.”
Olivia wasn’t in the mood to talk about that.
She knitted her brows and pleaded, “Can’t you just pretend you never saw me? I want to settle my own scores.”
Elias shrugged and said, “It’s too late. He should be here shortly.”
“No. Even if he came by helicopter, it would take him longer. Just let me go, I’ll …”
A heavy voice, filled with panting, came from behind a big tree, “Olivia, you underestimate my love for you.”
Ethan was dressed in camouflage. His face seemed to have been scratched by branches and was bleeding.
There were also some wounds on his arms and body.
He got on the island a few days ago and had been chasing after Olivia.
Elias sighed and said, “Look, it wasn’t up to me to let you go.”
Ethan looked taller and more slender in camouflage. He reached out to Olivia and said with a gentle gaze, “Come home with me, Liv.”
Hints of anger and hatred flashed on Olivia’s face..
She said, “Ethan, you said you’d set me free and let me do whatever I want. Are you going back on your word again?”
Ethan saw that she wasn’t about to cooperate, so he slowly walked toward her with a feeble expression.
“I didn’t expect you to try doing something so reckless. Liv, I did set you free. Didn’t you have enough fun?”
Milton and the others were dumbfounded. They couldn’t believe the ridiculous drama that was unfolding before them.
He nudged Elias and said, “Do you have anything to snack on?”
Milton thought it was best to have something to snack on when enjoying a show.
He didn’t know how, but Elias took out some peanuts and gave him a handful.
“Come, pass it around, and enjoy the show. You don’t get to see something like this every day.”
