Colin did not know how to respond. Although Olivia was talking about Snowball, Colin had the feeling that she was talking about her own funeral instead. "I've got it, Olivia.""It has to be the tallest tree in the yard. That tree blooms with branches full of plum blossoms in the winter. "The scent of the flowers goes well with the cold white snow. I'll be waiting for her there." No one would have guessed that she meant she would be waiting there after she was dead. "Okay, but you can also visit Snowball when you are free." Olivia took off her diamond earrings and handed them to Colin. "I came out in a rush today and don't have anything on me. "But please hand these earrings to Snowball. She has always loved shiny little trinkets since she was a kitten." " … Okay. If you're too busy, I can also bring her to you if you give me an address. I bet she'll be delighted to see you." "No need." Olivia was running out of time. Ethan arrived just in time to see Colin pulling Ol
Colin's embrace was not as sturdy as Ethan's. His arms were more slender. Olivia knew that Ethan was extremely possessive. So she pulled away from Colin as soon as she steadied herself. "Thanks, it's cold out here, let's go back in." Olivia went back to the dining hall. Ethan, who was standing there a while ago, was no longer there. Colin wanted to get Olivia some food the moment she sat down. She saw Calvin approaching her, so she didn't stop him either. Calvin sat down elegantly with a glass of wine in his hand. They looked like two friends bantering. Olivia whispered, "Have you found anything out, Calvin?" "Yeah, I received some information before I boarded the ship. I just didn't have the opportunity to talk to you about it. "It is like we guessed. Someone swapped out your medical examination report. "Although he kept his head down, we managed to get a few pictures. Take a look and see if you recognize him." Calvin showed Olivia a picture that had been magnifie
Olivia was confused. Wasn't Colin getting her some food? What happened? She asked where he was and quickly went to look for him. Olivia found Colin in a room. He was leaning on a couch weakly. His face was flushed, and his voice became soft. It sounded like the purring of a cat.He was staring at her helplessly. "Olivia, I feel hot." She placed her hand on his forehead to check. It was indeed burning up. "Other than the fever, does anything else hurt?" They were only outside for a short while.He shouldn't have gotten sick so quickly unless he had some preexisting conditions. Olivia began practicing what she learned as a medical student.She racked her brain to think of any conditions that would cause a fever to flare up quickly. Colin unfastened his tie. He also unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and revealed his Adam's apple. He placed his hand over Olivia's and tugged. "Olivia, I feel like I'm on fire." Olivia finally knew what was wrong. She quickly pulle
Ethan looked at Colin, who was in the way. He pulled him to the side and even kicked him once. Then, he ordered, "Drag him away." Brent saw that the mood wasn't right. He quickly dragged Colin away and closed the door behind him. Ethan leaned forward and slowly approached Olivia. The temperature dropped as he got closer. He gritted his teeth and ran his fingers across Olivia's face. Ethan then said in an emotionless voice, "Do you know what I hate the most?" Olivia met his angry face and said, "Betrayal and scheming behind your back." He reached out, held her chin, and said, "I've told you before. Do not test me, Olivia." Olivia wanted to tell him about her discovery. But the evidence she had on her could only prove that her medical examination report had been swapped out. She didn't have any hard evidence. In the end, he would just blame her for telling lies. She swallowed the words that she was about to say. She preferred to humiliate him after the truth was out
Although Chloe had tried her best to be good to Marina all these years, Marina never saw her as her mother. Chris Carlton and Helen Gibson were promised to each other before they were born. Chris was cold to Helen after they were married, so she spent her days in depression. When Marina was only a few years old, she passed away. As soon as she died, Chris took the chance to remarry.Marina always blamed Chloe for everything that happened. For this reason, Marina had never stopped making life hard for Chloe. She even schemed and caused Chloe to miscarry. That incident also caused Chloe to become infertile. On the surface, Marina had a peaceful relationship with Chloe. But only she knew how much she hated Chloe. To make matters worse, Chloe was Olivia's mother. So she also vented her anger toward Olivia on Chloe. She would not have paid any attention to Chloe in the past. But today, she placed her hand in Chloe's palm for the first time and held her hands. They prese
As the door was opening, Marina was still holding Chloe's hand with a smile. She said gently, "Mother, we're a family after all. You can invite Olivia to our house more often in the future." "I'm glad to hear you say that, Marina. I was so afraid that you two wouldn't get along." Chloe had no idea what Marina was scheming. She was still dreaming of the day Marina could get along with Olivia. No one knew how excited Marina was at the moment. She had imagined all sorts of scenarios where Olivia was put on the spot and how pathetic she would be. The door opened slowly. Everyone was stunned when they saw the people in the room. Marina's smile froze. There were two people entangled on the couch. Ethan had taken off his suit. He was only wearing his shirt. A few of the buttons were loose. A lot of his skin was showing. It was a sight to behold. Compared to his normally meticulous and dignified appearance, he looked wild and lustful. He was holding a woman in his arms. H
Marina had been excited. But now she felt a chill throughout her entire body. It was as if her blood stopped flowing. Her body was shaking uncontrollably, and her heart felt like it ached with every beat. After a while, she found her voice and said, "What … What are the two of you doing?" The words were familiar. Her shaky voice revealed her uneasiness. Olivia wanted to raise her head and look at Marina's expression. She wondered if Marina's face was as pale as hers was all those years ago. Marina must have felt awful. A moment ago, she was fawned over by everyone. Now, she was mocked and ridiculed. Olivia knew that Ethan's affair during his son's first birthday party would be all over the Internet. She wanted to ruin Ethan and Marina's reputation! Ethan's arm was pressed tightly against her head. It stopped her from moving. She wasn't too happy about that. Ethan was still holding Olivia in his arms. Everyone was still waiting for his explanation to Marina. His fi
Marina was in her room, smashing anything she could get her hands on. Meanwhile, Olivia was still in Ethan's arms. Olivia raised her head from his chest when there was no one else around. They were standing on the deck, and it was still snowing. Ethan said in an icy tone, "Are you happy now?" He wasn't dumb. He knew that Olivia wouldn't have tried to have sex with him in a place like that. He had caught on before everything happened. He could've stopped it. But tonight, he didn't want to. He didn't expect Marina to be so stupid. Her own trap backfired against her. Olivia winked at him and said, "Why would I be unhappy? She was the one who wanted to set me up. Are you feeling sorry for her?" Ethan's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. He said to Olivia with a scowl, "Olivia, teaching her a lesson is not worth risking your own reputation. Did you truly win?" Ethan was not one to reveal his emotions easily. But Olivia's actions almost made him lose his cool."Hav
