The banquet hadn't started, so people were walking around and looking at the displays.

Calista's act of calling Olivia out had attracted the eyes of many.

Noticing the frown on Ethan's face, Marina hastily hooked an arm in his and explained, "Olivia and Calista were classmates. They had some grudges in the past. It'd be inappropriate if you meddled in their business."

Ethan silently removed his arm from hers and straightened his tie.

Marina didn't continue the topic or move closer to him.

Instead, she simply reminded him, "Besides, you and Olivia are already divorced. What would people think if you tried to help her now?

!We're getting engaged soon, and the hospital is in the middle of preparations. Any rumors about you will greatly affect Miller Group's shares. Logically speaking, you should keep your distance from her."

"Who told you I was going to help her?" Ethan retorted as he left without turning back.

Calista tried to make things worse by pointing at Olivia and de

    As Everly took her seat, the lights dimmed. Marina whispered a threat, "Don't push your luck, Everly.""Push my luck? I haven’t even exposed you as a homewrecker yet," Everly retorted.Despite the dim lighting, she could see that Marina had turned as pale as a ghost. This, in turn, brought a cheerful smile to Everly's face. "I just love how you can't do anything about me even though you can’t stand me. Marina, I've got evidence of all the things you've done. "If you dare provoke me and Liv again, I just might reveal everything to the whole world. If I were you, I would cut my losses and stop right here. Don’t act all high and mighty when you're nothing but a sly fox."Glaring at her fiercely, Marina remained quiet. Meanwhile, Olivia hadn't expected to meet Ethan again so soon. They didn’t talk at all, and any passerby would have thought that they were strangers. They were both indifferent to the auction going on, not reacting to the high prices offered. As the auction ap

    Everly ground her teeth in frustration, wondering how such a despicable person could exist. Lowering her voice, she said, "You stole her man. Isn't it enough now that you’re Mrs. Miller?""Huh? I stole her man? If it hadn't been for her, Ethan and I would have been married a long time ago. Olivia's the one who stole my man," Marina countered, sneering."Ms. Carlton, with that audacity of yours, you could set a new Guinness World Record. I can assure you that no one will be able to break your record for centuries. I thought I was bad, but I'm nothing compared to you. You truly set the bar high," Everly retorted."Everly, if I were you, I would speak to me politely," Marina threatened, crossing her arms."Ooh, someone’s getting angry!" Everly was talented at infuriating others."I'm not angry," Marina replied, maintaining her composure. Olivia, on the other hand, was boiling inside. She'd raised the bid to five billion dollars. Ethan knew her limits, and he could easily secure the

    The coastal road was famous for its night view. The shimmering bright lights on both sides of the wide asphalt road made it seem like a stairway to heaven.Olivia rolled down the car window, letting the sea breeze into the car. The chilly breeze seemed to cool her emotions.While driving, Everly reminded her, "Be careful not to catch a cold.""It's just for a little while," Olivia replied. She rested her arms on the window sill and leaned her head on it. Then, she closed her eyes, enjoying the liberating feeling the wind brought."Hey, I've made up my mind. After I die, scatter my ashes into the sea," Olivia suddenly said.Everly slammed on the brakes, stopping the car by the roadside. "Olivia, don't make such jokes in the middle of the night. It's not funny at all."Olivia opened the door and got out of the car, taking in the sea breeze. "I initially planned to buy the Fordham residence back and have you bury my ashes under the tree in the courtyard. Since I was born there, it

    When Everly went to get more food, Olivia changed her profile picture to a photo that Everly had secretly taken of her. Then she took a photo of the ocean and posted it with a caption that read, "Far, far away."Little did she know that Ethan was waiting for her outside her apartment. Olivia and Everly hadn't returned yet, so he waited in the car.As he'd watched her retreating figure earlier, he'd recalled how she'd donated five billion dollars, and that filled him with unease. It was the same discomfort he'd felt when she'd jumped off the building. He needed an answer to his questions. Finally, Brent said, "Mrs. Miller is still having barbecue, sir. She probably won't be back soon.""Where is she?""It seems like she's at the seaside. She just posted a picture of it."Ethan immediately refreshed his social media feed, but the newest post he saw had been made an hour ago by a random fitness guru. The caption read, "Breaking news! Frequent consumption of fried eggs can lea

    Brent grimaced at Everly's choice of words."By the way, that lackey isn't as handsome as you. He always has a stern face, like this." Everly imitated Brent, who just watched as she dragged herself to the car. Everly patted the seat beside her and said, "Hey, you’re cute. Why don’t you let me take care of you?" Brent was about to decline when Everly added, "I'm really good at taking care of things. The last dog I took care of became so fat and healthy." Brent didn’t know how to respond to that.Olivia hadn't expected to see Ethan here. Masking her discomfort, she asked calmly, "What about Everly?"He put out the cigarette in his hand and answered, "Brent will take her home."Olivia wasn't worried about leaving Everly with Brent. She was more concerned about what would happen between her and Ethan.Tiny snowflakes danced around Ethan, creating a stunning scene. He looked at Olivia and said, "Shall we talk?"Olivia didn't even spare him a glance. "Mr. Miller, I've been good

    At this moment, Marina was playing with her two children. They were fraternal twins, a boy and a girl. Ethan had named the boy Connor Miller, whereas Marina had named the girl Erina Miller, a combination of Ethan and Marina’s names."Erina, come here," Marina called. Recently, Connor had learned to walk, but Erina still had to hold onto the furniture when she took steps. The girl was weaker and didn't have Connor’s sturdy legs."Mom, Mom." Erina reached for her mom."You're amazing, sweetie. Let me give you a hug," Marina said, before turning to Connor. "Come here, Connor."Connor glanced at her before quickly turning away, showing no intention of coming over. He had Ethan's cold, aloof gaze.Since Ethan had brought Connor back, he'd always been staring out of the window. He ignored everyone and kept to himself. Occasionally, when he fell asleep, he would call out "Mommy" a few times, but when he woke up, no matter how much they coaxed him, he wouldn't utter the word again.Sin

    She considered all the possibilities for how this could play out on her way to Collington Cove. All she had to do was abandon her pride and cooperate with Marina. It couldn't be that difficult. What did her pride matter when she was about to die anyway?It was her first time inside Collington Cove. The decorations were all to her liking: blue arches, horseshoe-shaped windows, gray walls, and white curtains swaying in the sea breeze. It had a mysterious, romantic air to it. It was a pity that the owner of the house was Marina.With the maid leading her, Olivia arrived at the spacious and bright living room. The room sported a 270-degree circular floor-to-ceiling window that provided a clear view of the sea from every angle.Before she spotted Marina, something touched her leg. It was Connor, whom she hadn't seen for some time. "Mommy," he called out, his voice cute and pleasant to the ear. His eyes were sparkling like stars in the sky, and Olivia felt a little more affectiona

    Evidently, Marina hadn't expected Olivia to retaliate. Just like that, her new hairdo was ruined. Exasperated, she screamed, "You little bitch! What have you done? No one would dare to do this to me!"As her face was plastered with batter, Marina couldn't see where Olivia was after the latter had retreated. Grabbing at the air blindly, Marina tried to seize hold of her. Sensing movement, she lunged forward, only to step on the batter, slip, and fall to the ground."No one has done this to me before either, Marina. You aren't the only one who has been pampered their whole life. You can't just ruin my hair as you please."Taking full advantage of the situation, Olivia slapped Marina hard before stomping on her a few times. "This is for my dead child! This is for my dead marriage!""Agh, I'll kill you, you little bitch! Help me, you silly fools! Why are you doing nothing?" Marina was infuriated at being physically assaulted by Olivia. Meanwhile, the only maid in the kitchen was fr

    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!

    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.

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. 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. 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
