Ethan was feeling better after two more days, but his coughing didn't get any better.

Since they were reaching Aldenvine soon, Kelvin and Brent alighted from the ship in secret.

Firstly, they needed to deliver the contracts signed by Ethan back and handle some stuff in the company.

Secondly, Ethan needed to make early arrangements so that Olivia wouldn't suspect him after alighting from the ship.

The days passed by peacefully. Joshua brought meals to Olivia as usual, and nothing went wrong.

It was only when the sun rose today that something unusual happened.

Someone knocked on Ethan's door. It wasn't time for housekeeping, so he wondered if it was Olivia.

His expression changed as he was still in the middle of a meeting. He hadn't changed yet!

He motioned for Joshua to check on the incoming guest.

"There's no one." He opened the door, only to realize that there was no one.

A box was placed in front of the door. "Weird. Is this a little gift from the crew?"

Curious, he opene

    Flora injected drugs into Olivia, making her feel sluggish. Her legs felt light, and dizziness clouded her mind, adding weight to her head.It slowed down Olivia's response system.She could hear what Flora was saying, but it took her a few seconds longer than usual to respond.For example, rationality was telling her to escape, but her sluggish limbs weren't listening to the orders.She didn't have the energy.Now that she was given drugs, Olivia wondered, "How's Alicia? Where is she? Did this perverted woman do anything to her?"Someone changed Olivia's clothes and styled her forcefully.Flora looked at the dolled-up Olivia, who was as beautiful as the moon in the sky."God shows kindness to you without holding back, huh? How could He give you such a face?" Flora touched Olivia's face like a pervert.The repulse made Olivia's skin crawl. Her voice was lifeless. "Let us go or you'll regret it. My ex-husband won't let you off the hook …"Flora scoffed. "As you said, he's your

    How could Olivia not feel miserable for saying that?Ethan was someone she desperately wished not to meet again, yet she had to use his name to escape from danger."If you don't believe it, you can check it online. As long as you let us go, I'll pretend nothing has happened. I won't look into this."The people beside Flora began persuading her."Flora, this woman does look like she has a certain background. Let's not ask for trouble. It won't be easy to escape from the rich people once we tick them off.""Yeah, it's not like we have to bring ourselves trouble just to take revenge."Flora glared at them. "Shut it, cowards! You're buying it just because she claimed that she's Ethan's ex-wife? Well, I can say that I'm the daughter of the prime minister."Despite that, she searched it up online.According to the information online, he was married.However, she couldn't look into more information other than that. There was nothing regarding his divorce or ex-wife. There wasn't ev

    When it was time for a living person to be auctioned, the atmosphere was livelier than it was for items. The guests had already taken their numbers and entered the place early, looking forward to what kind of prey they could obtain today.Right before the opening ceremony, Flora received news that someone was trying to stop it.She knew who it was very well. "That's quick. Proceed.""Ms. Colt, the other party seems to come from a prominent background. Even Mr. Stamford treats him with respect. The boss isn't on the ship this time. If things go south, we won't be able to handle the consequences."She crossed her arms. "I don't care even if he's the prime minister. He has to abide by the rules as long as he's on the ship. Don't forget what kind of place this is. "It is because the country's law isn't capable of keeping this under control. That's why there are so many people splurging money on this ship. Once he breaks the rules, who else would come in the future?""But—"Flora

    The poor could never win against the rich, while the rich could never win against the influential.The Millers were able to stand on their feet for decades not only because of their business background. They wouldn't have been able to come this far without the support from the higher-ups.No matter how well-off Ethan was, he would've been bullied by others without that kind of background.His actions would get in the way of the others' benefit, which would affect his future career. In fact, it wasn't a wise choice because it would give his enemies the chance to pounce on him.But what other choice did he have? The other party had his wife and daughter, and there was always something getting in his way.This was the simplest and the only way to save Olivia.He sighed lightly.

    Ethan followed the crowd, entering the auction.Before it started, he could hear noisy and vehement exclamations."I heard that there's a beauty tonight.""I heard that too, that there's something good.""It's so boring these days. We're going to reach the land soon. Shouldn't we seize the chance to play something big?"Everyone present was wearing a mask, and beneath those masks were hideous faces.Not long after Ethan seated himself, someone approached him. "Mr. Irving?"With his legs crossed, Ethan exuded the aura of a big shot. He no longer wore the meek facade he had put up when Olivia was around."That's me." His murderous aura alone was enough to make one distance themselves from him."Here's a letter for you."The content was written in the same handwriting. After Ethan read the letter, Joshua noticed the veins protruding from the back of Ethan's hands. It was obviously ire."My superior has said the word. If you reject this, you'll see both of them becoming someon

    Ethan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.Olivia and Alicia were wearing exquisite silver gowns. In addition to the silver chains, they appeared oddly beautiful.Alicia's face wasn't covered, so her innocent face was shown on the huge screen.Everyone was mesmerized by her angelic beauty.She wasn't fed any drugs, so her beady eyes were crystal clear.Her hair accessory came with diamonds and feathers, turning her into a princess of an exotic country.Her innocent eyes indicated that she didn't know what was going on.

    Flora wanted to see Ethan getting anxious. He naturally didn't want Olivia's mask to be taken off as other men would see her face.If he didn't give the money, there would be others willing to fork it out. Thus, he had to give the one million dollars first.That figure was only the minimum. It was also Flora's chance to test Ethan.If he could pay so much money for a kiss, the following figure wouldn't be as little as this time. What could he use to bid later?If he were to save up the money for later to buy Olivia, someone else would kiss her.Flora had set her mind on disgusting Ethan. This was a hard choice for him to make.However, she underestimated something about Ethan. Although he yearned for love, he hadn't lacked money since his birth.The Millers had been running their businesses for decades, and he was a prodigy in the field. The Miller family was a prestigious family.It was not that Ethan looked down on the others, but they wouldn't be able to overthrow him

    "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!

    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.

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.

    Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this.

    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. 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
