Ethan hugged Olivia, burying his face in her neck. "Liv, as I said, my family owns so much money that it's enough to sustain us for a few lifetimes. As for power, there's nothing I'm afraid of other than God.

"What Yale desires is something I don't care about. Power is just a tool to protect my family and you. Even without Krystal, I have other ways to gain it. The most important person to me is you."

He spoke into her ear softly, "Don't drive me away, Liv. You're my everything."

She flicked his forehead. "Control yourself. This is the Heath residence. How are we going to explain if someone sees you in my room?"

"If you drive me out right now, that's no different from announcing that I spent the night here."

Olivia went silent for a moment. "So, what are we gonna do?"

"When the night comes, I'll get out of here through the camera blind spots."

"There are guards outside."

"I have my ways."

She was rendered speechless.

"But Liv, I'm starving."

    Yale ruined her plans, and resentment took root deep in Tatiana. She hated it so much, but she had to go along with their performance."That's an overstatement, Mrs. Kingston. This has nothing to do with you. It's the youngsters' business. Let's take a seat and think of something.""You're right, Mrs. Heath. Hubby, stop it." Adalia stopped Gordon. She wiped her tears away while saying, "Dad, what should we do?"Now, it was time to take it seriously.Sherman looked at the kneeling Yale indifferently. "This brat has committed a grave sin. Since he did such a thing to the innocent Ms. Heath, I'm afraid there's only one solution for this—Yale has to marry her."Mr. Heath, although my grandson has done no big accomplishment, he's mature and dependable. Please give him a chance to make up for his mistake. He'll use the rest of his lifetime to make up for Ms. Heath."Mason gave Tatiana a glance that read, "You should be responsible for the grave you dug yourself".Biting the bullet

    Judging from how the Kingstons came in a group, they were clearly dogged to achieve their objectives at all costs.If the proposal was turned down, Krystal's and the Heaths' reputation would be ruined.On the other side of the coin, accepting the proposal would mean a tiring future ahead of Krystal.She failed to win the heart of her loved one, and the person she didn't love did everything in his power to marry her.It was an ill fate."Mr. Kingston Senior, I'm aware of your sincerity. Similar to my wife, I have nothing to complain about Yale, but Krystal is my precious daughter. When it comes to marriage, the opinion of the people involved matters more to us. "That's how it works within my family. Now that things have turned out this way, I suggest putting the proposal aside first. Why don't we give both of them some time to spend together?"The smile on Tatiana's face beamed wider.Yale thought, "This sly fox."Still, he remained respectful on the outside. "Do you mean …"

    The issue was finally resolved. Tatiana secretly dragged Krystal to an empty corner.Tatiana said in an undertone, "I'm warning you. Your father barely fought a chance for you to make up for your mistake. Don't ruin it. Just get along with Yale like you've always done for the next three months. "When the time comes, you can separate ways with him by claiming that your characters don't match. Remember, don't let the Kingstons catch on to you."Krystal nodded. "I got it, Mom.""Your temper worries me the most. Just stomach everything for the next three months. The show has to go on for the family's and your reputation.""I will." Krystal clenched her fists.It broke Tatiana's heart to see her daughter like this. She caressed Krystal's head. "Krystal, there's a long journey ahead of you. Ethan is an impossibility. Get over him."Open up your heart and try to accept others, but that doesn't include Yale. He's a scheming man. He's not a good husband material. You mustn't fall for hi

    Despite being in Heath residence, Ethan reveled in the pleasure too much. Olivia was being devoured inside out.Forget about getting out of bed, she thought her bones were going to break from lifting her arm."Mr. Heath is going to keep the Kingstons entertained today. You can keep me company."Resting against his chest, Olivia huffed and puffed, trying to catch her breath.She hadn't returned to her senses from the intense wave of pleasure."If I remember correctly, you've always kept yourself restrained in whatever you do. Why did you become so untrammeled?"At that time, he acted like a ruler in whatever he did. Even the gaze he gave her at home was cold.Now, everything was different. A glance from Olivia was enough to turn Ethan into a Golden Retriever that would pounce on her.His overloaded enthusiasm was hard for her to keep up with."I was too naive back then. I didn't realize how precious you were to me until I lost you." His fingertips traced along her smooth chee

    "Yeah, I drank it." Olivia's voice was indifferent.Linus' eyes were fixated on her. "How did you pull it through?""Have you forgotten that I'm a doctor, Mr. Linus? It's not like it's a terminal illness." No one could find fault with her perfect answer.Looking outside the window, she sighed. "It seems like the snow will be pouring for a few days. Please inform your father to stay warm. He's weak and can't catch a cold. I won't be around for two days. I've handed the recipes to your mother.""Okay.""Plus, keep him away from emotional stress. He has just undergone a heart surgery. Overworking is a no-no for him. Mood swings too. It's best to keep him light-hearted always," she reminded."I'll take note of that."The car stopped at the Carlton residence. She gave him a nod. "I should get going, then. The roads are slippery because of the weather. Drive safely."Linus grabbed her hand unconsciously. Her eyes were directed at his hand, carrying a tint of aloofness. "Is there an

    Olivia's hands didn't stop, and she didn't show hesitation when she inserted the needles into Marina.Olivia inwardly exclaimed, "Ethan's a charming man, isn't he? There's Krystal, who can't forget about him, and there's Marina, who's willing to sacrifice anything to marry him."Otto caressed Marina's head. "We need the Millers' support. Marina, don't make him angry. Things are different from how they used to be."Sorrow colored Marina's eyes for a moment as she was unwilling to give up.After all, she almost became Ethan's wife back then. How could she accept such a huge difference?Olivia was reading a book at the side after inserting the needles. The maid served desserts and snacks.Fabian stood next to Marina with a grim expression. It seemed like her words had offended him.Even after what had happened in the past, Marina hadn't become any wiser.Back then, her wayward actions drove her parents to death.Yet, she didn't learn her lesson.Fabian was the current head of th

    Olivia invited Warren to a music show. He liked that musician, and it was the bit of information she had jumped through hoops to discover.She had asked Ethan to buy her the tickets some time ago.She returned home to doll up for the occasion.By the time Warren saw her, she was standing under a pine tree. She seemed to have been waiting for a while now.There was a pile of snow over her head.She raised her head with those crystal-clear eyes. She didn't even realize he was right next to her. "What are you looking at?"She jumped like a surprised bunny. "Warren, I saw a squirrel."Warren had never met a woman with such clear eyes, holding innocence yet so seductive at times."Have you been waiting in the snow?"Olivia grinned. "Don't you think that it's rare to encounter such little animals in metropolitan areas?""It is. Let's go. The music show is starting soon.""Sure." She took the lead in front of him with a bright smile, maintaining a safe distance from him.Warren

    Rustling sounds came from behind, indicating that the two had claimed the seats.Olivia's senses caught that intimidating gaze even without her looking back. As if someone had her at gunpoint, she didn't dare to act recklessly. Pins and needles of uneasiness poked her skin.It was fortunate that Warren was a quiet man. "Linus, how long are you going to be in the city for?" asked the female voice, so soft that it could stimulate one's sense of protectiveness.Linus replied impassively, "Please remain silent when the show is ongoing."Olivia was rendered speechless, thinking, "Behold the most insensitive man in the world. No wonder he's still single in his 30s."Her heart suddenly swelled in gratitude as she reflected on the past. Although Ethan had a cold disposition at that time, he treated her gently and with care. He would never blurt such words to her either.Considering how difficult it was to enjoy a date with Linus, she wished Linus' date the best.As Olivia expected

    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.

    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

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
