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

"Deal."At first, Olivia felt that Jack was too quick to agree. But when she opened the door to look for Connor, she was stunned by the view before her.The scenery was beautiful. She could see the azure sky, the pretty blue ocean, and the green mountains.They were on an island surrounded by the sea. It felt like they had been abandoned by the rest of the world.This was why he didn't have to threaten her at all. There wasn't any signal here, and no one would hear her even if she shouted.As long as they didn't have the intention to harm Connor, Olivia would never dream of risking anything.As soon as Olivia opened the wooden door, she saw Connor on the ground, trying to chase a kitten.The clothes on his back were covered in dirt, but he looked extra happy as he giggled.He kept mumbling the word "kitty.""This kid doesn't behave like a rich baby at all. He's a good kid. I like him."While Jack was speaking, Olivia was already running toward Connor. Connor also stretched ou
