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

Jerry quickly said, "That won't do. We need him to ask for ransom."When he finished saying that, Tom hit him on the head. "Are you dumb? Why would you say that? Can't you even keep a secret?"It was a surprise to Olivia. How could someone be bold enough to risk their lives by threatening Ethan for ransom?Perhaps before they could deliver the ransom letter, Ethan's men would've raided their headquarters."How much are you planning to ask for?" Olivia prodded.Tom stuck out a finger. "He's rich, so we should at least ask for one million dollars."Olivia looked at him in disbelief. "One million dollars?"They were risking their lives for only one million dollars? Ethan would probably think that they were mocking him.Noticing Olivia's gaze, Tom instantly lost confidence. "He's supposed to be rich, right? He should be able to fork out a million dollars, right?"If not … 500 thousand dollars will do."Olivia facepalmed herself. This was her first time feeling sympathy for a band

Tom was elated. "Yeah! Jack said that he'd bring helpers, and he wanted meals instead of money. The boss, Mr. Gibson, agreed right away."We ate a lot of food in the kitchen, and it was delicious! I even took some food with me when I left."Olivia finally understood why the newbies managed to succeed.They were just lucky.Marcus Gibson probably didn't expect anyone to be this bold. How could someone cause problems on the cruise or kidnap Connor?Ethan and the rest probably never thought that the bodyguard position was by name only. So, this group easily achieved what they aimed for.It was quite a funny coincidence."So you're doing this for money. Where's the kid?""My grandma is taking care of him. He drinks a lot, and he almost finished all the milk we milked from Buttercup," Jerry complained.While Olivia was questioning the two, Jack had been standing at the side and staring silently at her."Are you done with the questions?" Jack asked in a low voice.Olivia was about

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.

"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.

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
