Chapter 428
Marina felt regret and fear after she experienced the death of her parents and the comminuted fracture of both her legs.
She thought about a lot of things when she was in the hospital.
She cried profusely and said in a shaky voice, “I know I’ve done a lot of bad things in the past. I promise I’ll change.
“I’ll learn to be a good wife and never cause you trouble again. I don’t have any other requests. Just marry me, I beg of you.”
Ethan fell silent.
Without getting a reply, Marina continued, “You promised Kurt you’d take care offorever. You
can’t leave me.”
Ethan could no longer refuse after Marina pulled out her trump card. He closed his eyes, and Olivia’s face filled his mind.
Ethan said weakly, “Okay, I’ll do it.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarina broke into a smile after getting his response. “I knew you’ll never forsake me.”
Ethan hung up the phone. Otto was also relieved.
“I knew you were a loyal man. I think you also know the state my family is in.
“The wedding should be held as soon as possible. It would help Marina’s recovery if she had something to look forward to.”
Ethan’s brain was blanking out. All he could think about was he couldn’t do what he promised Olivia.
He was prepared to make it up to Olivia, but his hands were tied.
“Ethan, are you listening?”
“Pardon?”
“I said that we should keep things simple for the wedding. I’ve already picked out a date. It’s the end of this month. Do you have any objections?”
Ethan pursed his lips and said, “I only have one condition.”
“What is it?”
“Do not touch the Fordhams.”
Otto knew that Ethan had brought Jeff and Olivia back, but there was nothing he could do.
Ethan was accepting Marina even though she had a disability. They should be content that Ethan was still willing to marry her.

She probably wouldn’t even be able to bear children for Ethan in her current state.
Otto could only turn a blind eye to Olivia’s presence.
“I know. She’s your ex-wife, after all. As long as you treat Marina well and don’t cross the line, I won’t have any complaints.”
Otto wasn’t dumb. He knew he had to rely on Ethan to restore the Carlton family to its former glory.
He couldn’t afford to drive Ethan away at the moment.
“Then it’s settled. I’ll handle the preparations for the wedding. I’ll head back now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEthan got up and walked with Otto to the yard.
Ethan said, “Mr. Carlton Senior, the Toxic Hive are bad people. I suggest you sever ties with them, or else you’ll just end up hurting yourself and everyone around you.”
Otto stopped in his tracks and asked with a serious expression, “What have you found out?”
“Everything I need to know, and even things I didn’t want to know. Mr. Carlton Senior, you’re the one who caused everything that has happened.
“It’s all because you wanted their drugs and worked with Ms. Rosa.”
Otto’s eyes becbloodshot, and a vein popped on his forehead. “I just despise that woman. I thought Chris would marry another woman if she died and have sbabies.
“I didn’t expect him to be so silly. He actually died with her.”
Otto still didn’t know about Ms. Rosa’s true identity.
Ethan sighed and said, “I hope you stop what you’re doing. You’re not the only one to suffer great losses because of the Toxic Hive.
“Plenty of royalty in other countries have suffered similar fates. You have to cto your senses. The Carlton family is already in such a sorry state.”
“I understand.”
Otto’s back was hunched, and his body swayed a little. He left slowly, leaning on his cane.
