Olivia asked because she thought it was strange. She didn't expect a real answer. "What background would a cleaner have?" "I heard that she saved Mr. Miller's life before." Olivia was fascinated, "But why is she only a cleaner if she saved his life?""She had no one. She's used to the job. That's why she kept doing it. "But she only cleans Mr. Miller's office. There's not much to clean. The load is fairly light." Olivia nodded and said, "I see." She talked with the cleaner for a little bit more, then left. She made a mental note of the mysterious cleaner. Evening came. Olivia tagged along with Sophia to meet Lincoln. Sophia was touching up her makeup in the car. She threw occasional glances at Olivia. "Olivia, I see that you're still young. If you can secure this deal with Mr. Lincoln tonight, I'll forgive what you did yesterday.""Is he hard to negotiate with?" "For other people, yes. But for a pretty woman like you, it's a different matter." Sophia was finishe

Olivia collected her emotions and opened the door. Her expression was back to normal. "I'm ready." Sophia looked at her slightly pale face and said, "What kind of touching up did you do? Never mind, you can use my lipstick. This is the trendiest color this year that men like." The bright lipstick glided across her lips. It gave her a radiant glow. Olivia's complexion improved significantly. Sophia then sprayed some perfume on her. It was a rich and enchanting fragrance.Olivia frowned at the smell. But she was covered in it before she could decline. "Okay, let's head in. We can't keep Mr. Lincoln waiting." Sophia confirmed with Olivia yet again, "Are you sure you know the rules of the dinner table? I don't need to give you a refresher course, right?" "Yeah, I'm sure.""Okay, that's good."They arrived at the private dining room. It was unclear if Sophia had sent a picture of Olivia to Lincoln because he was unexpectedly early for once. And he was full of smiles, too.

Lincoln looked at the mountain of pork chops on his plate. Then he looked at the sincere expression on Olivia's face. He was stumped. He couldn't tell if she didn't know or if she was just pretending. Her eyes were clear.There was not a speck of pretense in them.He thought about her age and thought it was understandable to be unclear about the rules of the dinner table.Sophia was bewildered. So that was what Olivia meant when she said she understood?She thought the negotiations were done off. Lincoln would surely be severing ties with her. But the truth was that men were exceptionally patient and accommodating to pretty women. Sophia glanced at Lincoln warily. But she saw him smiling. He was not angry at all. He said, "It must be great to be young. Such youthfulness." Sophia rolled her eyes at Olivia. Olivia pretended not to see and went back to her seat. "As long as you're okay with it, Mr. Lincoln.""Of course, how could I hate that a pretty girl brought me foo

The confidence in Lincoln's face faded. He was stunned. He had never seen such an arrogant woman in his life!He was boiling with anger, but Olivia asking him to foot the bill made him laugh instead. "Very well! Ms. Linden, I think you shouldn't bother me anymore. We'll never work together ever." "Don't, please!" Sophia was anxious. She had been negotiating with Lincoln for a very long time. She was about to succeed, but Olivia had ruined everything for her. "It's all her fault. She doesn't know anything. "Please be gracious and forgive us one more time. I've planned more interesting activities. "It'll be a pity if you leave now. I'll have her apologize to you."Lincoln's eyes were fixated on Olivia. She was indeed a gorgeous woman. He gently stroked the back of Sophia's hand and asked, "What interesting activities?"Sophia grounded her teeth and took a keycard out of her pocket. She said, "Mr. Lincoln, I've already prepared a place where we can spend the night." S

Sophia was astonished. It was the first time she had heard such outrageous statements. "You … You dare call Mr. Miller by his given name? How dare you?" "Is he a god or a martyr? Why can't I say his name?" Not only did Olivia dare to say his name. She also dared to hit him. Not only that, she's also held the company's shares. Ethan gave her some of the shares before they were divorced. She didn't have to work a day in her life. The dividends from the shares were already a hefty sum. She didn't need to sleep with Lincoln for some measly commission. "You're still young. You don't know how harsh reality can be. You'll know how little control over life you have when you're at my age."If you're still angry about me picking on you before, I'll apologize. Sometimes, I have to do things I don't want to as the team leader." Olivia was amazed. Sophia was a salesperson through and through. Forceful tactics didn't work, so she tried a softer approach. "Olivia, are you thinking of

They were the only ones in the spacious elevator. The mirrors on the sides reflected Ethan's icy expression. Olivia was trapped in a corner of the elevator and was pressured by Ethan's overwhelming presence. She dared not move. "Please show some restraint, Mr. Miller. You're already engaged to Ms. Carlton."Olivia never expected that one day, she would use the person she hated the most as an excuse.Ethan looked her in the eyes and said calmly, "I told you you don't have to worry about her." The elevator arrived at the top floor just as she wanted to say something. Ethan grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the lift. She looked at the familiar decor. Her expression changed slightly. She said, "Why did you bring me here? Do you want me to watch you while you and Marina do it? Don't be ridiculous, Ethan." Ethan pressed her finger on the fingerprint reader. The door opened. Olivia was taken aback. She didn't expect him to keep her prints on the record. She also didn'

As soon as she said that, Ethan looked at her with a prying look. His fingers traced lightly along her neck. "Jealous?""You must be joking, Mr. Miller. I am in no position to be jealous."Ethan saw the hint of disgust in her eyes. He bent over and kissed her neck. He even had the urge to bite down fiercely for a moment so that he could get rid of all of the complications between them in one bite.Olivia's resistance was apparent. Ethan raised her hands above her head. He held her chin with his fingers and said slowly, "Since you know your place, why are you resisting my touch?" Olivia frowned and said, "Why are you acting all crazy here, Ethan?" He smirked and let go of her chin. He began to unbutton her top. Olivia had a deal with him. She couldn't resist. She shouldn't resist. She could only mention the Carltons. "Ethan, you made a promise at the Carlton residence. Why are you breaking your promise and touching me now?" "What's the matter with playing around with a mistress?

Ethan traced her brows with the tip of his fingers. His dark pupils were like a deep abyss.They feel as if they would engulf her completely."What if I say I want you back now?" Ethan asked.Olivia replied without hesitation, "It's too late now."She turned away from Ethan and pointed to the scenery beneath them. She said, "You were the one who shoved me in the past down from here. You shattered everything. Including all my love and desire for you."Ethan's hands tightened around her waist. She was then pushed against the glass. He looked at her clean and pearly face. His voice was deep and icy, threatening even. "I don't care where your heart lies. All I want is you in the flesh." Ethan was like an arrogant emperor who held the life and death of his subjects in the palm of his hand. And she was like an ant before him. He only had to put his foot down to destroy her. Even his voice was filled with arrogance. "See, your willingness doesn't matter. Whatever I want to do will be

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

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
