Olivia was speechless. She even started to suspect that Wayne came all the way to Aldenvine for her.
After she comforted Molly, she rolled up her sleeve and left. She was ready to teach him a lesson.
Before she reached the living room, she heard a man yelling angrily.
"Why is it you? Get out of here!"
Ethan was holding a cotton ball with tweezers in one hand and a bottle of medical alcohol. He looked like he was about to pour that alcohol on Wayne and set him on fire.
Ethan said gruffly, "Didn't you refuse all the doctors? Well, I'm not a doctor. I'll take good care of you. Brent, hold him down."
"Yes, Mr. Miller," Brent said as he came forward with several bodyguards.
The voices made Olivia think about something. When the people in the village wanted to butcher a pig, they would round up the strong and fit villagers and hold the pig down. The butcher would then kill the pig personally.
Wayne was like that pig waiting to be butchered.
Ike also came forward and stood in Brent's way. Both sides were staring each other down.
"Enough! Please stop this ridiculousness." Mason set his teacup down.
He knew that Ethan and Wayne held a grudge against each other. Both of them lost an important subordinate to the other.
So, they would get worked up whenever they saw each other. They had also been competing against each other over the years. This was the first time they brought their conflict to his doorstep.
Although the living room was spacious, it still felt a little tight, with so many people having a standoff in the room.
Wayne's collar was buttoned, and he had a cold expression on his face. He wasn't as nonchalant as he was when he was alone with Olivia. He finally looked like the leader of a country for once.
