Olivia smiled lightly and said, "I thought he was only a tool for you to exact revenge on me."

"Why would you think that?" Ethan's brows furrowed tightly. He felt like something was off about Olivia tonight.

He wanted to say something. But due to the incident with Marina, he had to go and handle the mess that she made.

Awaiting him was not only a tearful Marina but also the unbearable Carltons.

He handed Olivia the keycard to the guest room and said, "Go to the room and get changed."

No one would know she was the one with him in the room if she changed. And as for the rumors online, Ethan could easily handle that.

He didn't know what Olivia was planning.

The fireworks show was brought forward by two hours to 8:00 pm to turn people's attention away from the embarrassing incident.

The fireworks lit up the dark sky. It also attracted a lot of people to look at it.

Many appeared on the snow-crusted deck to look at the fireworks. The deck quickly became very lively.

    Connor had always hoped to see Olivia again. Wobbling, he ran toward Olivia. Smiling at him, she reached out to him. "My dear Connor, do you want to leave with me?" Connor did not understand her words. All he knew was that she reached out to him. All he needed to do was to grab hold of her hand. He placed his chubby little hand into Olivia's palm without hesitation, allowing her to raise him up. He held onto Olivia's neck. He rubbed his face against Olivia like a puppy before saying in an affectionate tone, "Mama." Olivia looked at him lovingly, saying, "Silly boy, I'm not your mother. You should call me Aunt." At the moment, everyone else was gathered at the front of the ship to watch the fireworks show. She was able to carry Connor away with no issues. Olivia brought Connor to her room, where there was cake. She put a birthday hat on Connor and lit up the candle. She then sang him a birthday song in a gentle tone. Connor did not know what she was doing, but he smiled

    The winds were strong. Connor was snuggled up in Olivia's arms as the snow swirled around them. Olivia pointed at a spot in the ocean and said, "My baby disappeared in this part of the ocean. He wasn't as lucky as you. He stopped breathing as soon as he was taken out of my body. He never had the chance to look at the sun."Little one, do you think he feels lonely at the bottom of the ocean? Why don't you go and keep him company? The water might be a bit chilly. You might feel uncomfortable for a bit, but it'll all be over soon …"And finally, you'll completely disappear from this world. That would scar him for life. You're his favorite son. That would surely break his heart, right?" Olivia pinched his face with a sad smile. "At least you're not like my baby. His existence was a tragedy from the minute he was conceived to the moment he passed." She held Connor's hand as they slowly walked to the edge of the ship. "Connor look! It also snowed heavily like this last year. Son, you

    Olivia's words rang in Ethan's mind."Look, the snow tonight is so beautiful."Today is the day our baby died, Ethan. Have you ever spared him a thought this past year? Even for just a moment?"I thought he was only a tool for you to exact revenge on me."Ethan had it all wrong. She thought Olivia's target was Marina, but he didn't think about Olivia's dead child. She purposefully picked today for her revenge. It was so that she could sacrifice Connor to her dead son on the day he passed. That was a great way to get back at Marina and himself. Ethan was anxious and furious. Olivia was still the same person she used to be; she had never given up on her extreme thoughts! His heart went through a roller coaster of emotions in the span of about a minute. His palms were already drenched in cold sweat.He sprinted to the top floor as fast as he could. The first round of the fireworks show was over. The next round was in the middle of preparation. At this moment, it was like the

    He left the room after he said those words. Olivia did not understand his intentions. He did not yell at her, and neither did he throw a temper tantrum. He didn't even question her actions. What did he mean by "the best decision she could've made"?The door closed with a bang, and a new round of fireworks started. Looking at the fireworks, they burned brightly but only for an instant. She felt like her life was like that. She shone brightly for a short while before endless sorrow and darkness were all that was left. As everyone was enjoying the lively atmosphere, Olivia suddenly heard a woman scream. "Master Connor!" Was she just hearing things? Next moment, she saw a few men run past her door in a rush. One of them was holding Connor! She didn't know what was going on, but she was already running after them before she knew it. Connor's shrill cries rang across the corridor, but everyone else was focused on the fireworks show. Most of the security guards were busy helping se

    Mina retold the entire incident from the beginning. When Marina heard that Olivia also got on the boat, her first reaction was to pin the blame on her. "I knew Olivia was up to no good. She must've been the one who hired those men to take our child! Ethan, you have to get Connor back!" Ethan felt a strong urge to slap Marina, but he was not in the habit of hitting women. He thought no one in their right mind could've said what Marina said. Holding back his anger, he said, "Get her out of here." Brent had already begun investigating. Ethan was touched when he saw footage of Olivia recklessly going after the group of men. He knew better than anyone that if she wanted to hurt Connor, she would've done it long ago. She did love Connor—so much so that she went after him even when she knew the men had guns on them. Looking worried, Brent whispered, "Mr. Miller, could your identity have been exposed? Did they take Master Connor to exchange him for that item?" Ethan pursed his

    The cruise ship docked ahead of schedule before the sun was even up. The guests did not know what happened and were wondering why the event ended prematurely. After all the guests had disembarked, Marina began to throw a temper tantrum."Why haven't you sent people after Olivia? That bitch colluded with the kidnappers to take my son away. She …"Brent felt a strong desire to slap her when he heard what she said. He kicked the culprit that allowed the kidnapping to happen into the room. It was Marina's uncle, Marcus. Marina became furious when she saw that. "What's the meaning of this? You're not looking for Olivia, and instead, you brought my uncle here?" "You want to know what? Why don't you explain yourselves first?" Ethan sat on the couch with a scowl before slamming a stack of receipts on the table. "I allocated a budget of one million dollars for Connor's birthday party. How much did he line his pockets with?" Marcus was Helen's only brother. After she passed, the Ca

    Marina quickly ran toward Ethan and said, "It has to be Olivia. You just need to look into her. In the worst-case scenario, you still have Jeff in your hands. If we threaten her with Jeff, she'll give Connor back." Ethan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Marina, his eyes filled with restrained anger. "Ethan, I …""Marina, sometimes I wonder what nonsense goes through your brain."Leaning forward slightly, he whispered, "I'd like to split your head open and take a look, if not for Kurt's sake." His deep voice shook Marina, who looked at him in fear. But all she could see was anger in his eyes; an anger so fiery it seemed like it could burn her up. Ethan was at the verge of losing control. He was trying his best to hold back his anger, but his eyes revealed the raw anger and hatred he had for her. "You'd better pray nothing happens to them. If not, no one will be able to save Marcus. Not even if Kurt returns from the grave and begs for me to spare him."Marina's ba

    The man laughed mockingly. "Everyone thinks that Ethan is a devoted man, that he's always been a gentleman. No one mentioned that he had an ex-wife."Clenching her fingers tightly, Olivia said with a sorrowful expression, "I was just a plaything to him. He wouldn't have allowed anyone to know about me. Last night was the anniversary of my son's passing. I snuck on the ship to steal Connor away, but you beat me to the punch.""Your son died, but why did you want to steal their son?"Olivia said slowly, "I wanted his son to accompany mine in death! Have you any idea how I've been living this past year? I've never had a good night's sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I see my son on the operating table. I …"Olivia got emotional as she started to cry. Her tears fell onto the dagger's blade, tracing along the blade to the man's hand. Moving the dagger away, he exclaimed, "Why are you crying? I didn't do anything to you!" Olivia turned into a vengeful woman. She didn't care that the

    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.

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.

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.

    Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this.

    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.

    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
