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

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.

"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
