Spring Without Return Chapter 12
“Nothing left?” Samuel actually laughed.“Mr. Ferguson, is that not exactly what you are right now? You have already lost everything. That is what we wanted my sister to see.”He turned toward me, and his tone softened.“Vivian, look carefully. He is exactly the same now as when you followed him to Stormbay years ago. Broke and powerless. Honestly, even worse than before.“The business empire he built is gone. He is sitting in prison, and this is the consequence he owes you.”I looked at Ethan calmly, as if I were watching a drama that no longer had anything to do with me.“Ethan, we are over.”His entire body shook. The light in his eyes faded.“Vivian… you cannot do this to me.”“When I followed you to Stormbay,” I said quietly, “you had nothing.“I left my parents. I abandoned my home and stayed beside you through every hardship because I believed we would spend our lives together. I thought you would always be the person I could rely on.“I never imagined that for anothe

Ethan froze for a moment before letting out an icy laugh. “Do you even know who I am? You think you can arrest me?”“Mr. Ferguson, we are carrying out our duties according to the law. Please cooperate.” The officer’s tone stayed calm and emotionless.Ethan’s heart sank.In that moment, he understood. Everything had been planned long ago.Once Olivia’s betrayal was exposed, someone behind the scenes seized the chance to destroy the Ferguson Group and drag him down completely.“Who sent you?” Ethan demanded.The officers did not answer.One simply gestured toward the police car.“Mr. Ferguson, this way.”Reporters had already gathered outside. The moment they saw Ethan being escorted away, they rushed forward in a frenzy while camera flashes exploded around him.Ethan knew resisting would only make things worse.He took a deep breath and followed the police into the car.News of Ethan’s arrest spread through the business world almost immediately.With no leader in charge, th

“You think I would not dare?”Ethan’s eyes burned with fury as his grip tightened around Olivia’s throat.“Of course you would not.” Olivia shouted recklessly, as if she had nothing left to lose. “You are one of the top three richest people on the Forbes list now. You have money, power, and status. You would never throw all that away.“You are just an idiot who got played by a woman. Vivian was the only one stupid enough to stay by your side.”“You still dare mention Vivian?” The rage inside Ethan exploded. His hand tightened so much it seemed like he might crush her neck.Around them, the sounds of cameras snapping grew louder. Phone flashes lit up nonstop.The assistant rushed forward and grabbed Ethan’s arm.“Mr. Ferguson, not here. This is getting too much attention.”Only then did Ethan snap back to his senses.He looked around at the crowd gathering nearby and the dozens of phones pointed at him.Grinding his teeth, he released Olivia.She collapsed onto the floor, cou

Charles stared at the evidence spread across the desk. His body trembled, and his lips shook so badly he could barely speak.“I will give you one last chance,” Ethan said coldly. “Tell me everything you and Olivia did. Every detail. If you cooperate, maybe I will let you suffer a little less.”Charles hesitated, his eyes darting around the room.He knew exactly what kind of man Ethan was. If he stayed silent after falling into Ethan’s hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.He was also terrified of Olivia finding out he had betrayed her.Seeing him waver, Ethan gave a small glance toward the bodyguards.The two men stepped forward at once.“You should understand by now,” Ethan said, his voice icy, “that I did not get where I am today through kindness.”The threat in Ethan’s tone shattered the last of Charles’s resistance.“I will talk. I will tell you everything.” Charles nearly broke down crying as he confessed.Back when the Ferguson Group collapsed, he and Olivia ha

Olivia had spent the past few years at Ethan’s side, gentle and attentive. She took good care of the child and obeyed Ethan in everything. A woman like that seemed incapable of doing something so cruel.“This is ridiculous.” Ethan let out an icy snort and tossed the letter onto the desk.For some reason, the words in that letter clung to him like a thorn buried under his skin.He could not ignore them.Olivia had returned at the exact moment his company began to recover.Every now and then, she would casually ask about the company’s finances.Details he once overlooked connected together in his mind, one after another, and the uneasiness inside him grew stronger.Someone knocked on the office door.His assistant hurried inside.“Mr. Ferguson, we found something.”The assistant stepped forward and handed Ethan a file.“We have continued searching for Ms. Quinn’s whereabouts. We have not located her yet, but during the investigation, we uncovered suspicious information regardi

As she spoke, Olivia turned and hurried out of the office.Her steps were unsteady, and when she reached the doorway, she glanced back one last time before tears slid down her face.Once she left, Ethan remained alone in the office. He sank heavily into his chair while the anxiety and irritation inside him grew stronger.For the first time in his life, he felt powerless.He had wealth, status, and power. He had everything people spent their lives chasing. Yet even with all of it, he still could not hold on to the one person who had followed him without hesitation when he had nothing.Meanwhile, I lay in the bedroom of a villa.The door opened softly, and my father and older brother walked in.“Vivian, are you feeling any better?”The moment I saw their familiar yet distant faces, tears rushed into my eyes.My father’s hair had turned much whiter over the past five years, and the wrinkles around his eyes had deepened.My brother stood taller and steadier, with a calm maturity
