Olivia didn't know what Jack was trying to do. She watched as he picked up the flashlight, which shone weakly.The dim light swayed along with Jack's steps, but it managed to light up the space in front of her.Jack led Olivia to the kitchen. Putting on an apron, he swiftly prepared the ingredients. He soaked the leftover bread in an egg mixture, then placed it on the pan while adding some bacon and peas.Olivia watched the man's tall figure under the dim flashlight. He whipped up the dish in an instant.The leaping flames licked at the bottom of the pan. The fire reflected off Jack's metal mask, reminding Olivia of Ethan from the past.No matter how late it was, Ethan would get up and cook something for her when she got hungry.Soon, some delicious eggy bread was served. Jack even plated it nicely for her."Eat. No matter how much time you have left, I hope that it'll be even longer than expected."Holding back tears, Olivia lowered her head and ate the eggy bread.The kind

Jack also bought a new set of clothes for Connor.Overjoyed, the children kept shouting, "It's the new year! It's the new year!"Olivia never thought that she would be counting down to the new year on a special island. She didn't expect to spend the occasion with a group of strangers either.She even had Connor in her arms.After the celebratory dinner, the children gathered for fireworks at sunset. They even stuffed a sparkler or two in Connor's hands.Olivia took many photos of Connor today. Her phone ran out of battery a long time ago.Fortunately, Jack bought a charger for her. After connecting the charger to the solar panels, Olivia managed to charge her phone.As soon as Olivia snapped a photo, a smile appeared on her face.At that moment, she forgot about the suffering she endured when Ethan locked her up. She just wanted to be wild and free for once."Ms. Olivia, come and set off the fireworks with us.""Sure."Whistling, the fireworks shot into the sky and exploded.

At first, Ethan also thought that it was most probably some bold kidnappers. As days passed, he got less confident about his guess. He feared that it might be his enemies.He was worried that a box containing their bodies or body parts would show up on his doorstep one day.The current situation was like casting a stone into water. There was no reaction, and no one knew what was happening in the water.Ethan's patience and wits, which he took pride in, began to crumble as time passed.He didn't dare fall asleep. Once he did, the bloody scenes he experienced before would have Olivia and Connor in them.On the seventh day, Ethan finally collapsed. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything in days, and he didn't even sleep.He watched the surveillance footage time and again, so much so that his eyes were bloodshot. The men he sent out never brought back any useful info either.On the second day of the new year, Brent found Ethan lying unconscious in the bathroom. He hastily called over the

Madam Burgess hastily gave Ethan a quick rundown of how she found Connor. Ethan frowned even deeper. "You didn't see anyone other than him?""No. When I found Master Connor, he was crying. He was also holding a hydrogen balloon in his hand. Oh, right, he also kept calling Mama.""Mama?" Ethan thought.Connor had never been willing to call Marina Mama, so the person he was calling for couldn't have been her. It could only be Olivia.Brent, who had already brought men to investigate the scene, reported to Ethan right away. "Mr. Miller, I've checked the surveillance."Ms. Fordham was the one who sent Master Connor back. She purposefully left Master Connor on Madam Burgess' way home from grocery shopping."That way, Madam Burgess would notice him.""Was there anyone else besides her?" Ethan asked."No.""Keep investigating."Ethan was even more confused now. Could it be just like Marina said, that Olivia had hired people to kidnap Connor?If she wanted to threaten him, why would

Meanwhile, Olivia was leaving via the underground passage. She noticed that all the exits of the mall were sealed.Just as expected, Ethan had no intentions of letting her go.Ethan must have thought that she was shopping at the mall, so he immediately sent his men to seal the mall. He wanted to block her off.But he didn't know that she had already changed her clothes and left through the safety corridor.She went to the place where she promised to meet Jack. She went to the market nearest to the harbor to buy the things she wanted.Ethan searched for a long while, but he found no trace of Olivia.Holding in his anger, Ethan checked every surveillance camera they missed. Finally, he found Olivia at a junction.Even though it was taken from the back, Ethan could recognize her right away. He also saw a man walking very close to her.Ethan punched the screen so hard that it shattered.The sound of the screen shattering startled everyone. Looking at Ethan's bleeding hand, Brent s

Olivia couldn't make out Ethan's expressions anymore, but she felt that he was smiling.When Ethan had finished speaking, he looked at Brent. "Is the speedboat not ready yet?"He wouldn't let Olivia leave just like that. But had just finished talking when his sight turned black. He collapsed out of the blue.It was entirely within expectations. After all, Ethan hadn't slept or eaten properly for so many days. He had a fever as well.Brent watched the speedboat getting farther away. He sighed helplessly."Run away, Mrs. Miller," he thought.Ethan's words still lingered in Olivia's mind. The speedboat had traveled a long way, but she couldn't feel any warmth in her body.She sat where she was, curled up into a ball. Her soul seemed to have been sucked out.Crouching in front of her, Jack gave her some tea. It was only then that she felt warmth. "If you're scared, I can send you back."Olivia took a sip. The sweetness chased away some of the darkness in her heart."I don't want

Olivia would feel much better staying on the island.She didn't want to leave for the time being, no matter what reason it was.She watched as the sky turned from dark to bright. As the sun rose, Olivia strolled around the island.Everyone was nice to her. They enthusiastically invited her into their homes for breakfast. They also thanked her for delivering some supplies.Jerry went out even earlier than Olivia. He sat by the beach as he doodled with the art supplies she bought.His youthful and handsome face was filled with excitement. "Ms. Olivia, how's this?"He had never formally learned to draw before, but he was talented beyond belief.His black and white drawings in the past were amazing enough. So now that he could color them, they looked even better.Olivia nodded, feeling comforted. "You draw very well."If such talent could be coupled with more knowledge, Jerry would be able to achieve big things in the future."You taught me well, Ms. Olivia. Will you keep staying

Jack swiftly led her into the forest. There was a treehouse in the forest, which Jerry showed her two days ago.Jack swept the fallen leaves away. Then, he led her into the underground secret base.It was completely dark underground, so Jack lit an oil lamp. The warm glow brightened up the whole base. When Olivia saw the things stored there, she was shocked."Are these all yours?" she asked, pointing at the firearms and weapons hanging on the wall.The man responded in a low voice without explaining too much. Grabbing a small handgun, he placed it in Olivia's hand."The truth always sides with the strong. No matter what happens in the future, you need a weapon to protect yourself."Touching the heavy gun, Olivia had a nervous look on her face. She gulped. "You're giving this to me?"Under the mask, Jack's dark eyes gleamed earnestly. He said in a cold voice, "If you can't escape, I hope that it'll be your final way out."He pointed the gun at his chest. "Remember this spot and

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.

Warren was so blinded by love that he didn't realize that Olivia had spent the last two years setting this up.The moment he saw Olivia nestling in Ethan's arms, he knew that his identity had been exposed since the beginning.It was time to end all of this.Although the Fordham family had won the fight, they sustained heavy casualties. Brandon and Deborah, together with Jacqueline, had hurt and killed countless people. Quinn became a sacrifice, never waking up again despite her young age. Olivia placed a bouquet before Quinn's gravestone. "Rest in peace, Quinn. I'll take good care of the family. Don't worry."The breeze carried a leave before it landed on Olivia's shoulder, as though trying to respond to Olivia.Douglas reunited with the family, and Natalie was finally buried in peace. It was a private funeral, but Mason paid a visit. Mason and Douglas looked at each other. They were both important to Natalie, and they finally met each other after her death. With reddene

"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. She took the human modification project at face value; she didn't think much about it! "Let Natalie go, Louis. She's been gone for years. She could be watching us from up

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. "Any news about Mom's whereabouts?" asked Olivia. "Avery found something, but he's still trying to

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
