Linus was not any ordinary person, and Olivia didn't wish to interact with him in any way.If this continued, something beyond her plans might happen.As an afterthought, she waved her hand in denial. "Let's straighten things out, Mrs. Heath. I'm not interested in Mr. Linus. I also have a child. I'm married."Linus didn't act as his usual reticent self as he blurted, "Haven't you already forgotten him? What if you can't remember him forever? I heard that you have a daughter. I don't mind treating her as my own. I'm serious about you, Vanessa."Tatiana slapped him without holding herself back. "Ridiculous! What kind of nonsense is this? Are you trying to give me a heart attack? I asked you to find yourself a wife, but you found a taken person! Someone with a daughter at that! Are you out of your mind?""Mom, I'm an adult in my 30s. I know what I'm doing."Olivia raised her hand warily. "I … Can I give my two cents? Mr. Heath, Mrs. Heath, I swear on my name that I didn't seduce you
Two days later, Julia light-heartedly called Linus to meet up."Linus, here are the perfumes you told me to look for.""Give 'em."Lines of perfumes were arranged before her. She proffered them to him carefully. "Here. They're herbal-scented perfumes. They're that popular, and they might not smell that nice. Give them a try.""How bad could they be?" Olivia's natural scent mesmerized him. Although it was the scent of herbs, it didn't put him off. Instead, he found himself addicted to it. The moment he opened the lid of one, a pungent scent rushed to his head and he almost fainted.It indeed smelled bad.He opened over a hundred perfumes one by one."Is there any that you like?""It's not right.""What is?""It doesn't smell like a certain herb but more like a bunch of them mixed together. I can't tell what it is. Anyway, the fragrance I'm looking for isn't strong. It's mild and it smells nice."Julia deflated. "There's no such thing unless it's the person's natural sce
The maritime museum collected all sorts of artifacts from different countries. It wasn't usually open to the public, so it was Olivia's first time visiting. She was stunned to see the stuff that was on display. She fell behind the crowd as she was carefully observing each single item on display. The one item she was most shocked by was a statue. It was pure white and looked very natural under the lighting. She was creeped out when she noticed the face on the statue because it resembled her own. But the statue was an antique from hundreds of years ago. It was probably a coincidence. Olivia turned around and realized that the crowd had already moved forward. She went and caught up to them. After all, she was paid to do her job. She had to focus on getting it done.Before she could take a few steps, she noticed a foreign reporter squeezing through the crowd to get to the front. It wasn't even the time for interviews yet. Why was that person in a rush? Olivia was a very cautio
Olivia didn't expect the cover she had been keeping up for so long to be blown at that moment. Linus slowly walked toward her."Mr. Heath, I can explain."Linus slammed his fist on the dressing table, which caused Olivia to shudder."So you never lost your memories?" Linus said through gritted teeth. Olivia knew there was no point in lying. So, she nodded. "Yes.""That child that Krystal saw was Ethan's daughter?""Yes.""You and Ethan …"Olivia licked her lips. "It's complicated between us."She didn't even know how to describe their relationship herself. She couldn't just say he went from her ex-husband to her sex friend, right? It was pretty ridiculous. "So you …"Olivia immediately said, "Mr. Heath, I'm indeed Ethan's ex-wife. Vanessa is my codename. I didn't create it to get closer to you or your family. I did it to keep myself safe.""Keep yourself safe?" "Some people have been after my life since a few years back. Even Ethan wasn't able to find who wanted me de
They used to be brother-in-arms. But time passed, and they spent many years apart. At the moment, the Heaths viewed Ethan as a major threat. So, they weren't as close as they used to be. Ethan wrapped his arm around Olivia's waist. "Since you already know, I don't have anything to hide. Liv is my wife."Ethan's childish attitude was amusing to Olivia. He was so clearly trying to make known the fact that Olivia was with him.He used to be a cold and domineering man, but he had become so childish. It was funny and frustrating at the same time. "Correction. She's your ex-wife," Linus reminded. Olivia's eyes widened. Ethan had become childish, but Linus wasn't much better. What happened to these two?Ethan replied condescendingly, "Even if she's my ex-wife, it means she used to be mine. Unlike a certain someone who never even got to be with her. Besides, we have a few adorable children together. Do you know how cute my daughter is?"Olivia was rendered speechless. Why was he sudd
Olivia was sent back to the Heath Residence. Although Linus said that he trusted her, she felt like her future here was up in the air. Many people wanted to stay around the Heaths for the status and opportunities that came with being close to Mason. Besides, Mason had just experienced two assassination attempts. The Heaths wouldn't just let her leave. Olivia waited in the tea room. It was still cold out. Brewing some tea and lighting a scented candle was very relaxing for her. There weren't any classified documents in the tea room, just some good tea. Mason learned that she liked drinking tea. So, he told her that she could brew tea for herself. The teas that were stored in his tea room were all very high quality. They were some of the best that money could buy. She wasn't bold enough to do it while Mason was present. But there wasn't anyone there at the moment, so she was able to let herself go and taste the teas one by one. All of them were great.The teas in this room a
Olivia shoved a piece of angel food cake into Mason's mouth in a panic. She almost choked him."Does it taste good?" "Yes, it's tasty." Mason wanted to talk about what happened before, not the cake. Olivia added, "Last time I made this, you said it tasted familiar. Have you eaten this somewhere else?"Mason said nostalgically, "Nowadays, the desserts on the market are catered to the tastes of you young people. They're all sweeter than before. Back in my day, it was completely different. This is something I tasted a long time ago.""An old lady taught me this recipe. She said there was a cherry tree where she used to live. They would take the cherries and make angel food cakes every fall."Life was tough back then. Children didn't even have snacks they could eat. Most families could only hope for more fruits from the trees they had. But they wouldn't let their children eat too much because they had to sell those fruits at the market."By the way, Grandpa Mason, have you been
Krystal was confused. "Mom, what do you mean? What's wrong with this picture?"Tatiana proceeded to show her the surveillance footage. "Can you see where the shot went?""It grazed her cheek.""I looked for many videos that were closer and clearer. I'm sure that the bullet touched her face. Even if it was a flesh wound, there should be some mark on her face. Did you see anything on her face just now?"Krystal finally understood what Tatiana was trying to say. She shook her head. "I didn't pay much attention, but I don't think there were any injuries on her face.""Look at this picture. Why did she cover up her face?""I get it now! The problem lies with her face.""That's right. How do you think she made the injury disappear?""There aren't any medications in the world that can heal an injury so quickly. Unless something blocked the damage for her. Since it's her face … I understand now. That's not her real face!""Yes. There have been a lot of advancements in facial molds. It
