That wasn't it. Jacqueline added another condition, "You have to transfer two billion dollars to a certain foreign account within two hours. It's only considered done after we confirm the money is there."Ethan coolly accepted the condition, "Deal. On it."After he left, Jacqueline said to Olivia, "Don't blame me. We did switch places, but many people love you. You have children too! Once the curse is lifted, you'll be Ms. Fordham. They'll make up for everything that you've missed out on in the past."Her understatement made it seem like Olivia was the one who took advantage of her.As of today, Olivia had been through many near-death experiences. Even Olivia's closest acquaintances passed on because of Jacqueline. Yet, Jacqueline didn't mention them."Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? I didn't kill your adoptive father. He died because he was unlucky—"Olivia, who was having tea, slammed the teacup on the table.Before Jacqueline knew it, she was

Olivia and her family flew to Saiya Island with Jacqueline. To Jaqueline's surprise, Olivia brought Willow along instead of a bodyguard."I'm warning you, don't play tricks with me unless you don't want to know where your mother is. We agreed only three people. Nothing more than that.""Don't worry. My daughter knows to cast some curses. She can lift the Heart Devour Curse off you."Jacqueline frowned while sizing up Willow, obviously looking down upon the child. "She knows how to use curses? Do you take me as a three-year-old? You should switch her with someone else."Olivia and Ethan had grown up in a rich family. How would they know curses?Jacqueline reminded them, "Keep in mind that you have to lift the Heart Devour Curse off me first or I won't ask them to lift the curse off you. You'll gain nothing from trying to fool me with a kid."Olivia smiled, not replying to that. It wasn't only curses that Willow knew, but Olivia wouldn't reveal everything about Willow.That wa

Olivia slowly turned around to see a man under a coconut tree. She knew who that was—Alexander, Jacqueline's fiancé. Olivia obviously didn't see this coming. It looked like Jacqueline and Alexander were in true love. Considering how he knew Jacqueline's identity from the start, he might've played a role in her plan too.Wendell's and Wayne's faces conjured in her mind, and she formed a guess.As soon as he saw Jacqueline, Alexander ran over. "Jacqueline, are you alright?"Jacqueline looked awful after those rounds of beating. Even after applying medicine, her face was still swollen. Her forlorn state broke his heart. "Are you hurt?"Judging from her limping, he was sure that she had it rough. He shielded her with his back as murderous intent overflowed around him. Once he showed up, the seemingly innocuous and unobtrusive Willow stood before Olivia. Since she couldn't speak, Willow had a more sensitive sense of her surroundings, be it people or objects. Olivia could tell what

Olivia's eyes widened. One should never judge a book by its cover. She didn't expect Alexander to be that witch.They hadn't eaten anything, so they went to a restaurant for dinner. They were supposed to be enemies, but they got along pretty well. The atmosphere was harmonious like the calm before the storm.Ethan was worried that Alexander might cast another curse again, so he personally made them a meal. By the time Ethan was done making a simple dish, Jacqueline was already feasting on the local specialties. Willow had been keeping an eye on Alexander, worrying that he might cast a curse on them.Before Ethan and Olivia came here, they imagined the witch to be someone wicked and malicious. But the revelation proved them wrong. Olivia's knowledge of curses was limited to what she learned from Alora Village. The villagers were behind the society, but they inherited these special skills from generation to generation. Alexander looked like a gentleman, totally not the image o

"Impossible!"Alexander seemed like a different person. The gentle side of him had given way to a murderous temperament. Olivia noticed vague black smoke smoldering between his brows. She thought she was seeing things, but now, the fact that he was a witch finally registered in her."If you don't agree to lift the Lifebond Curse first, I have the rest of my life to play with your games. But do keep in mind that Jacqueline will suffer from the Heart Devour Curse on every full moon. Her body won't be able to take it one day. Are you sure she can put up with it?" Olivia reminded him.Convulsing in the throes of pain, Jacqueline grabbed his arm. "It hurts! I can't hold on any longer!"Alexander hugged her. "It's not that I don't want to, but we need a quiet place to lift the Lifebond Curse. The hosts also have to be free from pain or injury to make it work. Now that Jacqueline is in pain, I can't do anything about it. If her life is in danger, the curse might kill her right away too.

"Zero," Ike replied without hesitation. Wayne shot daggers at him with his eyes. "Do you have to tamper my confidence like this? I'm your boss.""Ike doesn't mean it that way, Mr. Maxwell. According to our sources, Ms. Fordham brought along her youngest daughter, Willow. She hasn't been able to speak ever since she was born. How could she call you 'Dad'?" Alan hurriedly spoke for his brother because he knew Wayne was going to hold a grudge again otherwise.Ike once tried to murder Olivia in the country before this, and he was severely punished when Wayne found out.Wayne tipped his cigarette. Despite his tall stature, he looked lonely in the cloud of smoke. "It hasn't been that long since I last met her. Why do I miss her so much?"Alan facepalmed upon hearing the muttering. Just what kind of spell did Olivia cast on Wayne that he was so hopelessly in love with her?…On the other hand, Willow was preparing to lift the curse off Jacqueline.Ethan had never witnessed such a

Willow nodded obediently, but her wary eyes stared at the man as he approached her.She heard the local had tanned skin from sunbathing, but this man looked weird. As it was his first time dealing with a kid, Wayne took out a candy. "Here, for you." He had prepared it beforehand. To his dismay, Willow had already categorized him as a kidnapper. Abandoning her ball, she turned around to leave."Hey, kid! Why are you running away? I don't bite. You don't like strawberry flavor?" Wayne grabbed her wrist. Due to his towering stature, even a grown woman looked petite next to him, let alone Willow.He scooped her up with one arm as if she were a doll. His frantic hands fished out a bunch of lollipops. "I have more flavors—watermelon, mango, orange. Here, they're all yours." Alan, who was watching them from afar, went speechless. "Mr. Maxwell is a total novice in babysitting. If a freak came up to me when I was a kid, I would've been scared. Can't he see that the girl is freaked ou

Wayne tried to explain himself, saying, "I just wanted to give her some candies because she looks cute."Knowing that he wasn't a lowly man who would hurt her daughter, Olivia was certain that he was the backup Ethan called over. But Wayne was as reckless as usual. He almost ruined her plan!If Jacqueline and Alexander had found out about his presence, things would've gone south. That was why Olivia gave him the cold treatment. She looked at him like he was a stranger. "No need for that, thanks." She carried Willow and strode away. "Stay away from strangers. They kidnap kids," she warned intentionally for Wayne to catch on the situation.He was rendered speechless. Although he was aware of her intention, he couldn't help the disappointment. Only he knew that he couldn't sleep the previous night thinking about their reunion. Alan put down the binoculars. "He's gonna cry. Look at him. He looks lonely.""Serves him right. Why is he so concerned about someone else's wife and chil
