Mason frowned.

"Do you think marriage is so simple? You can't just force him to marry Krystal when he doesn't like her. Even if you do, she would be miserable in a loveless marriage.

"That was why I never forced him to marry her all these years. I thought he would be able to let go of the past as time went on, but now I think he's too deeply in love."

Tatiana sat on the bed with a bit of a temper. "Why won't anything work? Our daughter has always been the apple of our eyes.

"She's led a good life since she was young, but now she can't even marry the man she loves. What do we do?"

"There are so many good men out there. Does she have to marry a man who has been married before?" Mason was thinking further into the future.

"Who cares how many times he's been married as long as Krystal likes him? If you don't want to do anything about this, I'll take matters into my own hands."

Tatiana had made up her mind.

Mason looked at her with a displeased expression. "Why are you in such

Ridiculous, Ethan won’t fall for anything she may try to do. And if these authors think that’s a good twist in this story they’ll lose this reader & I’m sure plenty more and that equals lots of $$$$ lost! I for one, couldn’t stand to read another sentence.

    Olivia's voice was like a gentle breeze that swept all the tension away. Even the frown on Mason's face faded.When Mason was angry, people who knew him would never approach him. Even Tatiana wouldn't go to him when he was enraged. Ethan thought Mason would ask Olivia to go away. Instead, Mason said calmly, "Come in."Olivia opened the door and walked in. She pretended not to know Ethan. "You're here, too, Mr. Miller. It's a good thing I made plenty. Stay and try some."It was obvious to Ethan that Olivia had deliberately come in at the nick of time to save him. Her acting had become very convincing."I have something else I need to do. I won't disturb Mr. Heath's rest anymore.""Alright. You can try some next time, then."Olivia put the cake on the table and went to the tea table. "What tea do you want to drink, Mr. Heath?"The fluidity of Olivia's motions entranced Mason as she prepared the tea. Some long-forgotten memories emerged in his mind again. His expression grew

    Olivia smelled a story. "What happened back then?"Mason shook his head. "Nothing. Let's eat."Mason insisted that Olivia had to call him "Grandpa" at least once.Since there wasn't anyone around, Olivia said softly, "Grandpa Heath.""Good. Good girl." Mason patted her on the head. No matter how you look at him at that moment, Mason looked like a kind old man. There wasn't a trace of the powerful man that he was supposed to be. When she felt Mason's hand on her head, Olivia had a weird feeling. It was because she hadn't been with a family member for so long. She didn't hate the feeling, Mason was discharged after a few days. Since Olivia was his personal doctor, she followed them back to the Heath Residence.The fleet of cars drove into a secure compound in Aldenvine. There were guards everywhere. All of them were well-built soldiers. Olivia got out of the car and helped Mason out. Krystal and Tatiana were in another car. As soon as she got out, she muttered, "Why do

    Olivia looked up at the butler, saying, "The Heath residence is quite huge, so it must have other guest rooms, right?""The Heath family rarely receives guests, so the few guest rooms have always been like that. "The heating system broke down because of lack of use, and the other rooms are the same."The night will pass soon enough. I'll get someone to bring over a hot water bag or two later. You won't feel cold with them."Olivia smiled at him. "That works, too.""I have something to attend to, so I won't bother you anymore.""It's fine. I have something else to ask you about. Mr. Warner, where is your room?""In the inner yard. What's the matter?""Why don't we exchange rooms tonight? You can sleep here."Alfred's expression shifted. "That won't do. It's too much trouble.""Why would it be too much trouble? I'm not touching your stuff; I'm just going to sleep there. I don't mind you at all. You can use the hot water bags, too."After all, you probably won't feel too cold

    "I'm going back where I came from.""Aren't you worried about paying liquidated damages?" Alfred asked hastily.Olivia chuckled. "Don't worry, I can still afford that tiny sum.""You can't leave! You just want a room with heating, right? I can get that arranged for you. It's no problem at all."Tatiana only asked that Olivia have an uncomfortable stay. She didn't ask Alfred to drive Olivia out.If Olivia truly left, how was Alfred going to explain himself?Olivia was aware of Alfred's thoughts. She hated people like him who overestimated their authority.Olivia crossed her arms as she looked at Alfred coldly. "What's the matter? There weren't any rooms before this, but now they appeared out of nowhere!"Mr. Warner, do you take me for a fool? Or do you think that you can bully me however you like?"Alfred said sullenly, "It's just a room, so you're causing too much of a fuss. Do you seriously think that you're a rich young lady or something?"You should be grateful that you ha

    "If I hadn't heard you saying those words with my ears, I wouldn't have known how good you are at making up stories."Alfred immediately got up. He kneeled as he began slapping himself. "It's all my fault. I'm sorry, miss, please forgive me. I should have known better."Mr. Linus, please have mercy on me, even if it's just because I've worked hard for the family for so many years. I'm getting too old."Linus replied, "Since you're getting too old, you should let someone else be the butler. We didn't pay you a high salary every day just to bully others at home."When Alfred heard that he was getting fired, he sobbed even louder.He earned a lot as the butler of the Heath family, and he even had lots of ambiguous income. He wouldn't want to let go of a wonderful job like that.Tatiana's voice rang out behind them. "What's going on?"Tatiana looked at Olivia, faking a warm expression as she said, "Vanessa, you're a guest in this house. If the household staff are lacking in any as

    Alfred was aware that Tatiana was trying to sacrifice a pawn to secure the big picture. He had underestimated Olivia's importance to Mason and Linus.If things went on like this, even Tatiana would get the blame. Abandoning Alfred was a better choice than getting Tatiana dragged down with him.Alfred was at a loss. Tatiana was Mason's wife, after all. Even if Mason was angry at her, they would reconcile soon enough.But if Alfred exposed Tatiana, he would be offending the entire Heath family. When that happened, he might be chased out.So, Alfred took all the blame right away. "Yes, Mrs. Heath did remind me to do that. I was doing a good job at first, but the room didn't have a heating system."I contacted the repairman right away, but he wasn't free to come over today. This is totally out of my control. My attitude was lacking back then, and I should be punished for mistreating the young lady."Mr. Heath, Mr. Linus, please forgive me."As expected, after Alfred said that, Tatia

    Tatiana's expression darkened at the mention of that matter. "Shut up. You knew very well that it's taboo to talk about that around your dad.""What sort of taboo is that? My dad must have abandoned his family for wealth and glory back then. "After that, he slowly climbed up the ranks with you. To be honest, my dad is quite the jerk.""Nonsense. Who told you all that?"Krystal stuck out her tongue. "M-My grandma told me that.""Your grandma is spouting nonsense. Times are different now. Now, it's the Benson family trying to gain your dad's favor. You should be aware of your dad's temper."If you mention this matter in front of him, you'll get slapped for sure."Krystal said, "I know. I'm just asking. That woman is so normal-looking, and she doesn't look like my dad at all. Don't take it to heart, Mom.""Yeah. You've seen how things turned out. Your dad and your brother were too good to that wench, and they would even fire Alfred without hesitation."You'd better be careful ar

    Mason looked gently at Olivia. "Your temperament matches mine quite well, and your eyes …""My eyes?" Olivia looked at Mason with a curious gaze."Nothing. I hope you do a good job, child. I won't mistreat you." In the end, Mason didn't continue his sentence.Only her eyes looked like that person. Olivia Fordham should be the one who looked the most similar to that person.Back then, Ethan had gotten married on his own, and Mason had no idea who the bride was. Later on, when Ethan attended the award ceremony with Olivia, Mason was shocked to see Olivia's face.Mason even asked someone to investigate in private. Olivia's father was Jeff Fordham, and the Fordhams were Aldenvine locals. Mason was sure that they had nothing to do with that woman.Olivia felt that Mason had many things he didn't mention. She wondered what it was that Mason chose not to say.It was snowing heavily outside. Olivia accompanied Mason as she made nutritious food for him. She made tea and cakes for him a

    Warren's pale face showed a hint of pleading. "Olivia, we've gotten to know each other better in the past two years. Have you ever loved me?"Hatred was evident in Olivia's cold eyes. "Never. I pray for your death every single second of my life.""I knew it." He smiled at that embittering answer. Karma had always been there. Another sound of a gunshot surprised the birds. A pool of blood splashed over the flowers. Warren stared at the picture on the gravestone. "Mona, I've returned everything that I owe you…"Olivia's gaze alternated between the two bodies. Her heart ached as she began crying. "It's finally over, Mona. Please rest in peace."She had been waiting for this day to come for too long.

    "Avery, what happened?" Olivia inquired.She had no clue what was happening and didn't dare to go anywhere close to Louis. The only person who she got close to was Avery."Stay away, Olivia! It's too dangerous!" Avery yelled worriedly. Louis shifted his gaze to Olivia. "My experiment is going to be successful soon. That's Natalie's descendant. She has Natalie's genes in her…"Olivia's eyes widened as she finally realized why Louis had been taking special care of her. Back then, she simply assumed that it was due to her health and talent, but it turned out that he had known her identity all along!The purpose of the human modification project was to resurrect Natalie! The thought of it gave her goosebumps.To think that he had made so many preparations just to resurrect Natalie…Even Olivia was deceived.

    Olivia arrived on the island. She noticed the change in the atmosphere this time around.It was the same old scenery, but the robots that once filled the island to the brim were gone. She expected to encounter some inspection robots upon arrival, but there weren't any.Ships were docking in lines by the seashore, and most of them belonged to private foreigner organizations and mercenaries. People were coming to the island!What happened?Was Louis in danger?Although Louis wished to transform her into a cyborg, she hoped he could live regardless. No matter what field it was, no one would come before an outstanding scientist like him. It would be a huge loss to lose him.Olivia grew worried. "Calm down, Liv. A lot of people came to the island, but I don't think it's a big issue for now," Ethan reminded her.He bet that the ships were loaded with ammunition. Still, the buildings on the island were intact, and nothing seemed to be destroyed. She disagreed, "No, there should

    Mason and David had a long discussion by themselves. No one knew what they talked about.But it didn't matter because it was just an extra member joining the Fordham family anyway. That was it.On the other hand, Tatiana was a little worried. If the whole Fordham family were to be added to the family registry, would her children inherit less from the Heath family?Humans were born selfish. When the event actually came to pass, everyone would be thinking about their own benefit. However, the result of the discussion between David and Mason surprised everyone.Even though David wasn't acknowledged as one of the Fordhams, he wasn't planning to change his surname to Heath.He saw himself as a Fordham because his mother married Douglas.Nevertheless, he didn't mind his family being relatives with the Fordham family.Mason was a little disappointed, but he still respected David's decision because he knew how well Douglas treated David's family.Mason asked the Fordham family to sta

    Olivia and the others returned to the Fordham family. Everything was going back on track under Avery's management. Sean's leg was recovering well. He could walk like a normal person, and he didn't have to pretend to be a cripple anymore. Troy would need more time to heal, but he was making progress.David clearly seemed better than he was before Olivia left. Everyone could still hardly believe that Jacqueline almost killed everyone in the family all by herself. When Olivia returned, David asked with concern, "Olivia, Avery said that you were cursed. How are you feeling right now?""Don't worry, Dad. I'm all better now. But we think that Jacqueline's dead in the sea," she assured.He hugged her. "It's alright. Your safety is all I hope for."It broke her heart to see how time had chipped away at his physique. It hadn't actually been that long since the family was in trouble.

    Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this. Growing up in a slum where all kinds of people lived… People like them had never really owned anything anyway, so they wouldn't feel the pain of loss…Ever since his wife passed away, Wendell didn't really care much about Alexander's upbringing. Wendell was merely generous when it came to spending money on Alexander. But once he reunited with his son, he realized how much it could hurt to be a parent. If that marriage arrangement was Wayne's wish, Wendell was hell-bent on making it happen.…Olivia was watching the sunset painting colors to the horizon by the seashore. Although Jacqueline was dead, Olivia didn't feel happy, not even one bit. So what if the mastermind was dead? The Fordham family was still in disarray, and no one knew where Shana was.Olivia sighed softly. "You're too young to be sighing like that." Wayne suddenly appeared next

    Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior. It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family. If it were any ordinary woman, Wendell wouldn't have minded it. But the person he insisted on marrying was none other than Olivia! She was a divorced woman with four kids!On top of that, Olivia's ex-husband was Wendell's nephew! The divorced couple was somewhat entangled with each other too.Ethan and Wayne were both dear to him. What should he do? Wendell was at his wit's end. Ignoring Wendell's dilemma, Wayne handed him a cigarette. But Wendell refused, "I quit it."Wayne lit a cigarette and squatted on the ground. Instead of a ruler of a land, he appeared more like a construction worker. Wendell massaged his forehead at that. How had his son grown

    Wendell had been frail all his life. He never imagined that his biological son would have been missing for so many years. What surprised him more was that Wayne had grown up well despite hardships. Still, there seemed to be something off about this son of his.They were father and son who had been separated for years. Now that the truth was revealed, shouldn't they be hugging each other in tears of joy? Why did Wayne show no joy in reuniting with his father but seemed interested in his identity as the son of the Procter family—or more precisely, the marriage arrangement between the Procter family and the Fordham family?""Son, things are a bit complicated right now. We need to take our time to discuss this thoroughly—""Am I not your son?" Wayne's restless temperament was exactly the same as his mother's. There was no chance of dissuading him. There was only one thing in his head. He felt fortunate that he had run a background check on the ties between both families. Otherwise
