Ethan's intimidating aura shrouded Olivia, and her whole body trembled.

Colin was rather calm, holding an umbrella for themselves.

His voice was gentle. "Olivia, it's cold out here. You should head inside. It won't make any difference from waiting inside."

Since they were surrounded, she couldn't change their fate no matter what she did.

In a daze, she watched the battleship approach their ship.

Before the battleship completely stopped, Ethan had already boarded their ship.

Olivia stood still as though someone had pressed the pause button on her.

She didn't know how to react to the situation.

Just like that, she watched Ethan coming up to her as the waves roared.

As he drew their distance closer, she felt as if someone was sapping her soul out of her body.

She didn't know how to face Ethan.

She was clueless about how he would punish her and Colin, too.

Ethan took his coat off and draped it over her shoulders. Only then did she pull her senses back.

She was trembling unco

Ethan is so selfish and self-absorbed that he doesn't even care that he's alerted the people trying to kill her where she is! She's nearly died multiple times due to him but all he cares about is what he wants. Colin may be shady but I'm seriously hating Ethan!

    Brent was calmer compared to Kelvin.With a serious expression, Brent said, "Mrs. Miller, you should be aware of who you are. Mr. Miller hasn't slept for days just to find you. "And yet, you're taking another man's side? Have you considered Mr. Miller's feelings?"How would Olivia not know Ethan's feelings? But did she have any other choice?"He's my neighbor. I begged him to take me away from here. It's all my fault. Don't hurt him," Olivia said.Looking at her anxious self, Colin smiled. "Olivia, stop. It's useless. I'm mentally prepared for this outcome."He took the risk because Olivia's life was at stake. He was one step away from winning the gamble, but luck was not on his side.He had not expected Ethan—the top businessman—to have the maritime police at his disposal.Ethan stared at Colin coldly. His tone was icy, too. "You're smart.""Not as smart as you are, Mr. Miller. Even fate is on your side. "I was one step away from winning the game, but I lost it in the en

    At the same time, Kelvin had carried Colin to the side of the ship. He was going to throw Colin into the sea at any moment!They seemed used to such events. Kelvin and the men were smiling smugly.A horrified Olivia ran outside, ignoring Ethan's threat.With a cold expression, Brent advised, "Mrs. Miller. It's raining heavily. You should get inside. "If you fall sick, you and Mr. Miller will be the ones suffering.""Mr. Miller jumped through hoops to look for you. It wasn't easy for him. "If we had arrived later, Colin could've taken you away. He deserves this."Olivia climbed the fence.Brent had a bad feeling about this. He asked someone to stop her, but it was too late.The determined woman was quick-witted.Ethan came out of the cabin. He looked at her sternly, "Olivia Fordham, get back down here!""Olivia, don't do anything stupid!" Colin shouted.She stood at the edge of the ship. Behind her were the roaring waves that could engulf her like a beast at any moment.H

    Olivia was right. That was how Ethan treated her all the while.He had enough of the pain of losing her. Thus, he wanted to make her stay by his side so that she was never out of his sight."Liv, I tried to let you go and give you freedom. But it turned out this way in the end." The agony was eating him up as he tried to suppress it. He said, "I tried to control myself."His self-control was useless. Before Olivia could walk out of the darkness, he had pushed her further.The days she went missing were horrible to him. He was basically a living zombie.Thus, he had made up his mind. He wouldn't care if his method would make her resent him.It was better than not being able to see and touch her. Without her, it was suffering as though someone had sapped his soul out of his body.Olivia looked at the agonized Ethan. "Why do we have to end up like this?"Their relationship was an entanglement of chains that could not be unshackled.No matter what happened and no matter how much

    Olivia didn't fall into the sea. She was hanging in midair amidst the blowing wind because Ethan and Colin were grabbing her hands.Although it was the first time the men worked together, they had good chemistry. They pulled her onto the deck in one go.Ethan hugged her cold body tightly. "Liv, I'm sorry."Olivia didn't respond.He carried her into the cabin.When they passed Colin, the men met each other's eyes. Colin wanted to say something, but he didn't in the end.He recalled what Olivia had said before this.When they were still on the deck, Olivia whispered, "Colin, I will use an extreme way to save you. "Once we are separated, leave Aldenvine immediately. Do not come back for the time being.""Don't do anything silly, Olivia. I'm fine. I've mentally prepared myself for the plan to fail. Don't do anything silly because of me."She smiled helplessly, but her eyes showed her determination. "Don't worry. I need to stay alive to find out the truth. I won't die." She continued cold

    Olivia frowned deeply at the sudden kiss. Ethan's touch was repulsive to her.Before she pushed him away, he had withdrawn himself from her.It was a light touch without much excessive sense of possession."It is kinda spicy." He stroked her head as gently as always.It was fortunate that Olivia's plan worked.She stared at him. "What are you going to do with Colin?"After her suicide attempt, he didn't dare to say anything cruel. He replied, "I'm going to let him go. Don't worry. I won't hurt him."Now that he had learned his lesson, Olivia decided to let him off the hook. She held his hand and softened her voice, "I promised you that I wouldn't leave Aldenvine, but I didn't expect myself to be kidnapped. "Do you know how scared I was when I was kidnapped?"Ethan wrapped his arms around her waist. His low voice resounded above her. "I felt the same.""She was seriously driving me to the edge. If I had not noticed something was off and hid a knife, I could've died in her

    Ethan left the cabin after calming Olivia down. When the door was closed, her body slowly loosened.She spread her sweaty palms, letting out a helpless smile.She wondered when the both of them had to put their guards up against each other.They were neither lovers nor friends. It was not a relationship between a superior and a subordinate either.She found it difficult to describe their relationship.As long as Ethan wouldn't cause Colin trouble, Olivia and Colin were considered safe for today.Colin was all drenched, putting up with the wind and rain on the deck.Ethan sized him up and met his eyes. Colin was standing straight, showing no signs of yielding.He looked at Ethan confidently.In fact, Ethan looked down upon people like Colin the most. Colin appeared innocent and harmless.Even though he previously attempted to do that to Olivia on the ship, Ethan only saw him as a kid.Ethan wasn't bothered in the slightest.Now, Colin's presence bothered Ethan a little.

    Brent said, "On the cruise back then, Ms. Carlton made use of someone else to plot against Mrs. Miller. "She happened to get a hold of him and made him do the dirty work."If he realized early on that something was amiss, but he still drank the drugged juice … How cunning can this man be?"He wasn't just cunning, either. That day, if you hadn't arrived in time, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller would've suffered."When that happened, he could blame it all on the drug. He could easily find an excuse and escape. This man is terrifying."It didn't matter if he had truly saved Mr. Fordham. But he got hurt and claimed that it was because he was trying to save Mr. Fordham."He did it so that Mrs. Miller would feel pity and remorse toward him. "Even now, Mrs. Miller treats him like a child, but he seems to have weird intentions with her."Ethan frowned deeply, his dark eyes turning extremely cold. "What about the things I told you to do?""Don't worry, Mr. Miller. Before he left, I planted a

Even in her dreams, she was scared that she would be kidnapped again.If it happened again, she would've died for sure.In her dreams, Olivia kept mumbling, "Who exactly are you? Why are you trying to kill me?""Ah!"Ethan held her tightly. In a tender voice, he spoke comfortingly in her ear. "Don't be afraid, Liv. I'm here."Slowly, Olivia's emotions were soothed. But Ethan didn't feel like sleeping at all.Under the dim lights, he gazed at the contours of Olivia's thin face. He touched her slender hands.He couldn't help but recall what Olivia looked like in the past. She used to be such a cheerful woman.When she got married to him, there was still some baby fat on her face. She looked a little childish and innocent back

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.

    "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.

    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.

That was it.On the other hand, Tatiana was a little worried.

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.

    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.

    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
