As if she had sunken into the mud, Krystal willingly fell into degradation.

She never once considered the future. She only knew that she was getting more and more dependent on Yale.

Meanwhile, the renovation work at the Heath residence was already underway. After making some tea for Mason, Olivia entered his study.

When Olivia saw Mason frowning deeply, she walked over to him and said in a gentle voice, "Grandpa, it's getting late. You should rest."

A thick stack of documents in red was placed in front of Mason. He looked quite troubled.

"Child, it's not that I refuse to sleep. I simply cannot fall asleep."

"Did something serious happen?" Olivia asked.

"Word of my injury still got out. In recent days, the countries near Arlandia are getting restless again.

"Beloria has detained more than 50 fishermen from our country at Forge Isle.

"In the western part of the country, someone caused trouble at the border, and there's the eastern part and the north-western part too …"

    In the next few days, Linus wasn't the only one Olivia didn't get to see. Even Ethan was busy at work.In the past, Ethan would send her messages every day, but now, he would only send her a "Are you asleep?" in the middle of the night.Most of the time, Olivia only saw the messages in the morning. She would send a reply, but she had no idea when he would have the time to respond.Olivia had more free time now. The designers of the Heath family kept coming and going. Today, a designer came to tailor clothes for her. A jewelry designer would be paying a visit the next day.Other than the tailor-made stuff, haute couture and ready-made jewelry were delivered to the house every day.As Linus had said, he would make it up to her.

He would never allow people to

    Tatiana joyously called Krystal. "Krystal, here's some good news for you. Your dad asked you to come home for dinner tomorrow. "You have to grab the chance by then! Don't provoke your dad anymore."Krystal touched her flat belly. Three days ago, she found out that she was pregnant.At that moment, a sweet expression filled her face as she smiled faintly. "Got it, Mom. I have a surprise for you guys, too.""A surprise? What surprise did you prepare this time?"Krystal wished that she could tell Tatiana the good news right now. But her sense of reason told her that the announcement of her breaking news had to be reserved for dinner tomorrow."You'll find out tomorrow! Mom, I'm sure you'll be happy about it."Tatiana was a little suspicious. But Krystal truly had been quite well-behaved lately, and she didn't seem to be causing trouble. Perhaps she truly had thought things through.Tatiana left a few reminders before ending the call.Krystal checked the time. Yale still ha

    Olivia had just ended her video call with Zack when Ethan's call came in.Olivia hadn't contacted Ethan in weeks, but now, she could hear his voice. "Liv."He seemed to be in a spacious area, and she could hear the cold wind howling."I'm here." Olivia wanted to ask where he was, but she thought that he might be carrying out some top-secret military mission, so she didn't ask."Did you miss me?" Ethan's voice was a little hoarse. He must be somewhere extremely cold.Olivia had been there a few times before. Even a breath of the freezing air threatened to blow up her lungs."It's not that bad.""You're not adorable at all, Liv. Unlike you, I missed you a lot."His hoarse voice had given him some extra manly charm instead. Olivia felt her heart shivering in a good way.In the past, she would think of Ethan every waking hour if she couldn't see him. But now, she wouldn't do that. She had a lot of her own business to attend to.Ethan used to be like indispensable air and water to

    Ethan hurried back. Finally, at noon the next day, he arrived in Aldenvine.He didn't even bother to go home and wash up. Instead, he headed toward the Heath residence right away. With the cold and bloody smell surrounding him, he appeared in Mason's study.Olivia was making tea, whereas Mason was reading a book.Ethan strode in. When his gaze fell upon Olivia, some tenderness appeared in his cold eyes."Mr. Heath, it's fortunate that your orders were not disgraced. The mission was accomplished."Mason closed his book. He had already received a detailed report last night. He gave Ethan a look of approval. "You've done well. It's getting late, so feel free to stay behind for dinner."Perhaps because Olivia was around, he didn't talk too much about work.If it were before, Ethan would decline without hesitation. If he stayed for dinner, Krystal would most probably be attending as well. But things were very different. Olivia was here, so he was elated."Pardon my intrusion, then

    Mason had blocked off every path!Even Olivia's fingers were already on Ethan's zipper. She met Ethan's complaining gaze. "Um… I'll be heading there for now."Ethan grabbed her in a hug. "How are you going to make it up to me?""Just hang in there. We'll find another chance.""Don't you miss me at all? Not even one bit?"She didn't have such high demands in this aspect. After he left, she indeed hadn't missed him one bit. But as soon as he kissed her just now, she felt like she was a little affected.Olivia coughed lightly. "Well, a little."She took the initiative to plant a kiss on his cheek. "Be good. Go home for a shower.""I'll come over at night."Olivia bit her lip. "Sure."After she smoothed out her clothes, she left under Ethan's pining gaze.As expected, the maid was dutifully waiting at the door. Olivia returned to Mason's side.Mason glanced at Olivia's slightly welling lips. Even Olivia's ears had reddened.She had given birth to a few children already, but

    Olivia had no idea what exactly happened back in their time.But every time she saw Mason gazing at the painting, or when she noticed Mason zoning out as he gazed at her face, she knew that Mason must have loved her grandmother dearly.As the sky darkened, Krystal arrived at the Heath residence.Tatiana frowned when she saw Krystal wearing more clothing than usual. "What's with all the clothes?""I didn't want to catch a cold. Mom, I missed you so much." Krystal hugged Tatiana as she spoke in a spoiled manner."Oh, you. Don't do anything to make me sad anymore, alright? Do you know how worried I was about you?""Mom, I know. I mean it."Taking Krystal's hand, Tatiana said, "By the way, you said that you're giving me a surprise, right? Where is it?"Tatiana even looked behind Krystal, but she didn't see anything Krystal might have brought back."You'll know soon enough." Krystal had a mysterious look on her face.Tatiana kept reminding her, "Remember your lesson from before, a

    Linus was about to reply when he saw Olivia walking over to them from far away. He waved at Olivia, saying, "Come here, Liv."Krystal muttered in suspicion, "Mom, since when has my brother gotten so close to her?"She didn't quite like that feeling. Linus had always been a cold man, and he especially avoided women.For the past few years, the person he was closest to was none other than Krystal herself. But Krystal noticed the gentle expression on Linus' face when he talked to Olivia.She didn't believe that Linus would be interested in Olivia after learning that Olivia was a divorcee.Olivia nodded politely at Tatiana. "Hi, Mrs. Heath, Ms. Heath."Tatiana didn't dare to cause trouble in recent days, and she was comparatively decent to Olivia. She greeted indifferently, "Hello, Ms. Fordham."Only Krystal snorted. She could only refrain from provoking Olivia, but she would never be nice to Olivia.Olivia's identity wasn't revealed yet. So, in front of other people, she addre

    Yale wondered if Olivia had married Ethan again.Even if they had reconciled, the dinner tonight was a family matter. Why would an outsider like Ethan be here?Perhaps Ethan had just returned and was reporting the results to Mason. It was the only reason Yale could think of.The two simultaneously opened their car doors and got out of their cars. They were both wearing long wool coats, and they were of similar height. But Ethan exuded a colder air than Yale.Without any outsiders around, the two didn't even want to maintain peace on the surface. Their expressions were cold, and they looked down on each other.They strode into the Heath residence at once. The people following them felt that the two were even colder than the weather."It's a family dinner tonight. Don't you think that your presence here is quite odd?" As Yale walked alongside Ethan, he attacked the latter.Ethan sneered. "If you are aware that this is a family dinner, what right do you have to be here? Isn't

    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. When the revenge was finally over, she felt hollow on the inside. …Yarrows reached their peak of beauty during the season, dancing along the wind.

Olivia placed a bouquet before Quinn's gravestone. "Rest in peace, Quinn. I'll take good care of the family.

    "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
