Chapter 385
Chris contacted Toxic Hive again. He thought that they would reject communication after Mariña’s
incident. Unexpectedly, they told him to go to the agreed place on time.
He didn’t know what Toxic Hive was thinking. Since they were bold enough to say that, he would be
brave enough to meet them as well.
After planning their strategy, Ethan had to go back and get ready. When he left, he noticed that Otto
was in a daze. Otto seemed to be very out of it.
After leaving the Carlton residence, Ethan gave an order. “Investigate what Mr. Carlton Senior has
been doing and the people he met.”
Brent knew what he meant right away. “Mr. Miller, are you suspecting Mr. Carlton Senior?”
“If no one is hiding the Toxic Hive, we would’ve found traces of them by now. Few people in
Aldenvine can do that. There was something off about Mr. Carlton Senior today.”
Brent frowned, saying, “With a status like that, Mr. Carlton Senior won’t get involved with those scum,
will he?”

people are stupid? No, it’s because the older people get, the wiser they become.
“The scammers keep succeeding because old people all have a critical weakness.”
Brent asked, “What is it?”
“They’re afraid of death. The more powerful they are, the more they fear death. The officials of other
countries started contacting Toxic Hive for medicine.
“After all, their medicine is far better than the ones available on the market.”
Brent concluded, “So you think that Mr. Carlton Senior shares the same thought.”
“A few years ago, Mr. Carlton Senior’s legs started getting weak. He’s much better now compared to
before. So, he might have made a deal with Toxic Hive.
“That’s why he was in disbelief when he learned that Toxic Hive had something to do with
Marina’s accident.”
Ethan scoffed. “He probably thinks of Toxic Hive as his business partner. He even thinks that
the Toxic Hive can only depend on him to survive.
“He didn’t realize how much the Toxic Hive has evolved all these years.”
Brent fell silent for a moment. Then, he sighed. “Mr. Carlton Senior has gotten old, after all.

He’s confused.”
“Of course, this is just my guess. Go and look into it.”
“Understood.”
Ethan’s guesses were usually quite close to the truth.

“Mr. Miller, it’s dangerous for you to go with Chris to meet the Toxic Hive. We have to prepare for it. Do I
summon our men?”
“It’s okay. If Toxic Hive agrees to meet someone, they won’t have the meeting in their nest. If we have
too many men with us, it’ll only alert them. Just do as she has told us to.”
Ethan returned to the Miller residence. Mina was in the living room, playing with Erina.
When Mina saw Ethan coming back, she hastily got up and greeted, “Mr. Miller.”

“She’s upstairs bathing Master Connor. Master Connor is very attached to Ms. Fordham.”
Even if Mina hadn’t told him, Ethan knew how attached Connor was to Olivia. He quickly went up the
stairs. When he opened the door to the master bedroom, he could hear Connor’s crisp voice giggling.
Olivia was also smiling happily, which was a rare sight.
“You little rascal, don’t spray the water around! Look, I’m all wet now! Oh, now you’ve done it. If you
keep splashing water on me, I’ll splash it back on you!”
The two played together happily. When Olivia saw the man standing at the entrance, she couldn’t even
react in time, so the smile remained on her face.
When Connor saw Ethan, his eyes gleamed. He called out in a sweet voice, “Daddy!”
His smile could heal everything. Ethan walked toward him.
Reaching out, Ethan caressed Connor’s head. “Good kid.”
Olivia glanced at Ethan. Her usually gloomy and cold face was now as warm as the sun.
She didn’t realize that Ethan loved Connor so much.
But Olivia found Ethan’s smile blinding. He had probably forgotten that once upon a time, he had a
child who never saw the sun before they died.
