Olivia and Ethan were the only people in that passageway. Olivia could hear the noisy sounds of music and the host's voice on the other side. They were at some sort of event.

She didn't understand it. If Ethan wanted to bring her to an event, it didn't make sense for him to keep it a secret.

Looking at Ethan, she asked in a small voice, "What event is this? You should at least tell me beforehand so that I can prepare myself."

There was a lamp above them, and the light shone on the man's well-defined face. The sharpness of his features disappeared in the light.

"It doesn't matter what event it is. The important thing is that I'm attending it with you."

The host's voice could be heard outside, followed by cheers from the audience. Olivia realized that they were at the award ceremony of some film festival.

Olivia was even more curious about Ethan's identity now. She thought that he was the construction site supervisor of some huge project.

She didn't understand why he would be able

Ethan was glowing under the gaze of the audience.When he looked at her, his gaze seemed to hide a whole galaxy in it."In the past, I loved my wife too much. I loved her so much that I stubbornly hid her and blocked out the light that radiated from her. Now, I want to return to her all the light that belongs to her."Ethan had worked hard before, trying his best to hide her so that he could protect her.

    After presenting the awards, Ethan took Olivia's hand. They made their way to the seats reserved for them.When the lights had dimmed, Olivia grumbled in his ear, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I wasn't prepared for it at all. I looked so stupid onstage just now."Hearing Olivia's complaints, Ethan put on a loving smile."I wanted to give you a surprise.""It's more of a shock. My palms are still sweaty. I'm going to the bathroom.""Sure."Olivia had just gotten up when Ethan gave Brent a look. Brent immediately took some men with him to follow Olivia.

    Seeing that Nikki's expression had changed, Olivia dried her hands with a tissue. Then, she slowly applied hand cream."Ms. Shaw, I don't know what exactly you're trying to prove to me. Is it the pretend play you had when you were a kid or your family background that you're so proud of?"I only know that in love, the loser is the one who doesn't get it. Moreover, it's not like he just doesn't love you. He'll probably be more invested in a passerby than in you." Olivia put down her hand cream. "If I were you, I'd feel too ashamed to even think about hurrying forward to prance around.""Just wait, Olivia. We'll see who's the real loser here. We'll meet again soon."Nikki was planning to threaten Olivia. But she didn't expect to be caught off-guard by Olivia's words.Olivia was proud of none other than Ethan's love for her.Without Ethan, she was nothing.But with Ethan around, she owned the whole world.Olivia didn't feel much about Nikki's threats.

    Everyone was discussing among themselves."I didn't expect Mrs. Miller to be so kind to a fault. Should offending janitors be released without punishment just because they're from marginalized groups?""If I go out and hit a Rolls-Royce tomorrow, I'll just say that I'm poor so that I can be let off the hook. Is this how things work now?""If Mrs. Miller is so rich, she can just pay the measly 500 thousand for him. She doesn't have to trouble a minor celebrity with her superior sense of morals.""I know, right? When they were on the stage just now, I thought that she and Mr. Miller were a perfect match. But now, it looks like she's not that special at all. Money doesn't grow on trees even for us celebrities.""The dress was difficult to borrow, and now, it's ruined because of the water. Compensating for it is one thing, but she'll also be blacklisted after ruining it. The loss isn't something that can be solved through words alone.""Even a million dollars isn't enough to compensa

    Ethan strode up to Olivia, pulling her into his embrace right away. "Are you alright?""I'm fine. I happened to see someone getting bullied, so I helped out."After explaining, Olivia looked at Mara. "I can show the receipt for the dress, and I also have a photo of the dress hanging in the closet at home. But Ms. Hudson, what evidence can you provide?"Seeing that Olivia was getting serious, Mara had no choice but to keep insisting. "My manager was the one who borrowed it. She has the receipt.""Alright, then call your manager over. Ask her where she borrowed it from. She can help support your claim too.""S-She just left for some urgent business. I can't get her here, can I?""So, you don't have any evidence, and you also falsely accused someone and lied about the price. This is extortion, isn't it?"Mara said nervously, "Extortion? Quit trying to slander me! Fine, I can't afford to mess with someone high and mighty like you, Mrs. Miller. I'll just take it as a loss."Mara did

    Before Mara joined the entertainment industry, she was famous for being a bully. She had always been the one bullying others, and no one had ever bullied her before.She was a lowly celebrity in the entertainment industry, but she was good at socializing. She never lacked men.She only focused on earning money. She didn't care if she was able to film shows. As long as she could get money, she didn't care what methods she had to use.But she didn't expect that someone would want to kill her. Her eyes widened even more as she squeezed out the word, "W-Why?"This man looked so weak before. How did he suddenly turn out like this?Cold murderous intent emanated from his body. He wasn't a normal janitor at all."Blame yourself for messing with people you should never have provoked, Ms. Hudson. Someone paid for you to die."Mara had never gotten involved with things like that before. It was only then that she realized the gravity of the situation.This was a lawful society! How could

    Brent looked a little panicked. This matter could either be a trivial issue or a huge incident.Professional assassins would usually lay out the plan beforehand. They would calculate precisely how they would kill the person and deal with the body.They would never expose themselves, nor would they leave any fingerprints.Kelvin was an easygoing person, so that was why he ended up shouldering the blame."Mr. Miller, that jerk was wearing gloves. There are no fingerprints or any surveillance footage. Kelvin also happened to be at the scene. Even worse, rumors are starting to appear on the internet."Ethan rubbed his wedding ring. In contrast to Brent's urgency, Ethan looked more calm and reserved."What rumors?""Someone posted about the incident between Mrs. Miller and Mara. They claimed that we abuse our power to oppress others. Even news of Mara's death is making the rounds."She's not too famous, but she made quite a fuss shortly before her death. Also, Kelvin was found at th

    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.

Still, the buildings on the island were intact, and nothing seemed to be destroyed. She disagreed, "No, there should

    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 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.

    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.
