Olivia calmed down after she washed up.

She thought about how she had already been divorced from Ethan.

It would be okay even if she married another man. Some intimate contact was nothing. Was she supposed to be a widow for life because of Ethan?

Olivia held Alicia's hand as they were about to leave the room.

Suddenly, Alicia stopped in her tracks and pointed at some greenish-purple liquid on the floor. "Mom, look."

Olivia lowered her head to look. What was that?

It looked like mulberry juice, but they didn't eat any mulberries that day. The cleaner came to clean up the room in the morning too. Why would there be such a significant stain on the door?

Olivia opened the door and realized the floor had been mopped. However, it was still wet. The staff reminded them to be careful because the floor was wet.

Olivia asked in confusion, "I thought you cleaned in the mornings and evenings. Why did you clean in the afternoon today?"

"It's because a server tripped and dropped food

    Olivia counted the days. Logan had been with her for around half a year. They went from being distant to him becoming a full-time nanny for her child. He helped care for Alicia without any complaints and she had long since dropped her guard with him."I …" But Olivia was reluctant to tell him. The story was too long, and she didn't know where to start. "It's okay, I'm very tight-lipped. I'll never tell anyone else."Olivia glanced at Alicia and said, "Maybe later.""Okay." Ethan wasn't in a rush. He waited for around half a year for her to open up. He didn't mind waiting for a while longer. He sat by the flowerbeds and waited for her while Alicia was taking her nap. When Olivia walked over, he stood up. "Ms. Fordham.""No need to stand. Let's sit and talk.""Okay."Ethan had prepared a glass of juice for her. They sat under a parasol as the sea breeze blew toward them gently. Olivia took a sip. It was fresh lemonade. The taste was refreshing with a sour tinge. "Are yo

    Olivia's voice wasn't loud, but her words were deafening. Ethan didn't have a response to them. It was true. He had hurt her so deeply. Why would she ever come back to him? He was being delusional.A hint of uneasiness flashed on Olivia's face when she noticed Ethan had fallen silent. "I'm sorry. I lost my composure for a bit.""No, I think a man like your ex-husband could die a hundred times over, and it still wouldn't be enough to make up for the pain you felt.""I just hope that I don't meet him ever again," Olivia replied.Ethan composed himself and said, "I understand now. We have to sneak into Aldenvine without him noticing, right?""Yeah. That's why I tried to sneak onto Tobias' ship. It was unfortunate that we encountered pirates. We have to find another way now that the cargo ship is no longer an option. "Don't worry, Ms. Fordham. Leave it to me."Olivia had only wanted him to help come up with an idea. She looked at him in surprise. "Can you really pull it off

    This route was more befitting of Logan's character. It wouldn't rouse Olivia's suspicions."A shady ship? Is it safe?" Olivia asked."I've already informed my friend beforehand. As long as we stay in the room and avoid messing with anyone else, we'll be fine. We won't participate in any activities on the ship. We're just hitching a ride."In her subconscious mind, Olivia wasn't quite willing to get on a ship like that. She feared that it would be dangerous, but this was one of the very few ways for her to go back."Alright." She agreed."Don't worry, Ms. Fordham. I'll protect you guys."Olivia nodded, putting more trust in him now.After spending the last three days on the island, Ethan prepared a wig and a mask for Olivia."Ms. Fordham, most of the passengers on the ship aren't good people. Ordinary people like us might raise suspicion, so we have to pretend to be a married couple."As for Ms. Alicia, she'll have to put up with it."Ethan paused for a moment. "Normal childre

    The man's mouth was stuffed with someone's used sock, his face filled with terror.After all, he had only boarded the ship in search of excitement. He felt that the woman's figure was his cup of tea, so he just gave a suggestion. Did they have to treat him like this?The passengers on the ship were all indecent fellows. Why was this guy pretending like he was different?When Ethan removed the sock, the man hastily begged, "Sir, I was just kidding. Look how worked up you are! You don't have to play with us, alright?""Hah." Sneering, Ethan took off the man's mask. "I'll play with you then."The masks hid their shame. If someone removed the masks, it would be the same as stripping them naked and throwing them out into the streets.Ethan knew that face. The man was a renowned entrepreneur in Aldenvine.The media claimed that he was a man who loved his wife and children. His children were quite distinguished as well. But this successful man was doing such horrible things in the sh

    Reaching out, Ethan caressed Alicia's head. In recent times, she had been getting closer to him. Other than the fact that she didn't call him her dad, he was no different from a father to her."It's freshly baked. Have some," he said.Olivia shook her head in exasperation. "Don't spoil her too much. Eating too much sweet food will give her cavities.""It's okay, it's just a small piece." His gentle demeanor was a stark contrast to how he treated outsiders.Olivia wondered if it was just her, but she felt that Logan was quite different from when she first met him.But when she thought more about it, it seemed normal. After all, who would reveal their truest selves on the first meeting?"Is everything arranged already?" Olivia asked."Yes." Ethan continued, "By the way, Ms. Fordham, this is the layout of the ship. Take a look."Olivia felt that the ship was quite big when she boarded it. But when she looked at it in detail, she realized that it was indeed enormous.The lowest

    Kelvin behaved like a vain woman who just spotted branded purses and clothes. "Brent, look at this! It'll be so cool to use this in close combat."Brent, buy these for me. I also want this one and that one."Brent fell silent.Ethan took a small handgun meant for women. The merchant enthusiastically introduced, "You have a good eye. This is the latest model. It has low recoil, so it's especially suited for women.""I'll take it. And this too." Ethan eyed a compact portable dagger. It would hide very well.After picking out some weapons, he went to the herb area.There were quite a lot of people in the area. They even looked like they were peddling goods at a market.Many drugs were prohibited in the country. But laws didn't exist here, only money and greed. If they had enough money, they could have all their desires fulfilled.There were no auctions tonight, so Ethan could only browse the various counters."What do you fancy, sir? I have quite the variety here," someone call

    Kelvin stared at Ethan from the back. He couldn't help but feel bad for him. He was simply too pitiful.When Ethan agreed to marry in the beginning, it was just because of a promise. He had never once touched Marina. Through it all, Olivia was the only woman he had ever slept with.Kelvin was different. Even though he was single, he had many ways to let it out.But Ethan was fully devoted to one woman only. If they couldn't get back together in the future, he would have to be alone for life. When Kelvin thought about that, he pitied Ethan."Brent, why don't we buy a life-sized doll for Mr. Miller? They have a lot of lifelike ones these days, so it's not considered a betrayal, right?"Brent was exasperated. "If you're so eager to die, I won't stop you."Kelvin said sadly, "I was just being considerate of Mr. Miller. If he keeps holding it in, will he break down someday? This won't do, Brent. You have to come with me to buy something for him. He shouldn't continue keeping it in.

    Ethan glanced behind him. Kelvin and Brent were missing.Before this, he was able to drink alcohol without any worries because those two were around. But now, they were nowhere to be found, so Ethan was faced with this situation.The woman in front of him thought that with her looks and figure, no man would be able to resist her charm.But when Ethan turned to look at her, she didn't see any trace of desire in his eyes. There was only endless majesty and coldness.He was the one sitting, and she was standing. But they gave off immensely different vibes.Ethan supported his head with a hand. He looked like a king sitting on his throne, looking down on everything beneath him.She felt like she was a mere insect in his eyes.But the woman refused to surrender. She thought that this was all because the drug hadn't kicked in yet.She sashayed closer to Ethan, trying to get close to him. She refused to believe that her figure, which she took pride in, did not affect him at all.If

    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.

    "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.

    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.

    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.

    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
