Chapter 610
Ethan said coldly, “I have a very important matter to deal with right now. If you have anything to say, talk to my assistant.”
He was about to leave when Xavier stepped forward, blocking his path.
“Sorry, Mr. Miller. The murder case aside, someone also reported your company for tax evasion and other issues. You have to cwith us.”
Someone was trying to delay him with these things at this particular moment. A trace of impatience appeared on Ethan’s calm face.
“If you have anything to say, just talk to my lawyer and assistant. Step aside.”
Xavier took out a pair of handcuffs right away. “Mr. Miller, if you refuse to cooperate, we’ll have to do this the hard way. The law enforcement recorder is running right now. Please follow the procedure.”
“I said, get lost!”
Lifting his hand, Ethan was about to strike Xavier. Xavier didn’t dodge either. It was as if he was waiting for Ethan to get mad.
Brent hastily took a step forward, stopping Ethan. He gave Ethan a look. “Mr. Miller, they’re just following procedures. You should go first. Leave the rest to me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThings were already chaotic enough, but now, Ethan was even accused of tax evasion. Someone was pulling strings in the shadows just to stir up even more trouble.
Ethan was prone to losing his sense of reason when Olivia was involved. If he was charged with assault on a police officer, it would complicate things even more.
Ethan recovered his calm. He couldn’t mess up at a moment like this.
“Alright, I’ll leave it to you.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Miller.”
Brent had just finished speaking when Xavier blocked Brent’s path as well.
“Sorry, Mr. Ingram, but you have to cwith us for the investigation as well. Someone has also reported your company for falsifying accounts, among other illegal activities.”
Ethan’s eyes widened. He couldn’t suppress the cold air emanating from him anymore. Reaching out, he gripped Xavier’s
collar.
“Don’t think I don’t recognize you, Mr. Harper. Quit acting all high and mighty here!”
Their gazes met, and their eyes were filled with confrontational looks.
“I thought you wouldn’t remember these things, Mr. Miller. You’re an important figure, after all. It’s a good thing that you remember. I told you that you’d better wish you didn’t fall into my hands.”
“Mr. Miller!” Brent coughed. He feared that they would get into a conflict, and someone would use this incident against Ethan.
Ethan glanced at the running law enforcement recorder. They had cprepared.
He was in a foul mood, but still, he remembered assigning bodyguards to Olivia. She should be safe for the moment.
He suppressed his anger. “Lead the way.”
“This way, please, Mr. Miller.”
Olivia and Madam Burgess arrived at the mall. Madam Burgess earned quite a lot every year, but she was quite frugal so that she could give more money to her family.
So, she wouldn’t spend money at places like this.
“Mrs. Miller, I already told you. You don’t have to do this. The things here are frighteningly expensive. I can buy things online, and they’re not too expensive either.”
“Madam Burgess, please don’t decline my earnest gift for you. Just take it as a New Year’s gift from me.”
“I can’t possibly accept a gift from you.”

Madam Burgess smiled. “Then, allowto thank you on his behalf, Mrs. Miller.”
The two went to the baby store.
Small cute clothes filled their vision. Reaching out, Olivia subconsciously touched her flat belly.
“Are you okay, Mrs. Miller?”
Olivia finally returned to her senses. “I’m fine. Let’s go and pick something out. I’ll pay for it.”
“I’ll take your word for it, then.”
Madam Burgess happily hurried into the clothing department. Olivia watched the future fathers and mothers picking out items for their babies. She felt a little sad.
She was supposed to have a child too.
Suddenly, a baby’s cry sounded in her ears. Olivia’s motherly instincts were activated as she looked up toward the sound.
She saw a man in a mask who was wearing a thick down jacket. He was pushing a double stroller.
He picked up the crying baby, coaxing them patiently. He had a tall and huge figure, but he seemed to be quite skilled with these things.
But he had just picked up one baby when the other started crying as well.
Olivia didn’t know what cover her, but she began walking toward the child.
