Henry stared into Ethan's eyes.

"The island is yours. Your men were stationed there. How did they escape without you allowing them to?"

Henry wasn't stupid. He sensed the change in Ethan's attitude toward Olivia long ago.

"I knew I couldn't keep it from you." Ethan didn't try to keep it from Henry.

"I don't care about how you want to manage your relationship with your woman. But you shouldn't have meddled in my business." Henry stared at Ethan coldly.

Seeing the tension rise between them, Bryan finally stepped in.

"Alright. To be fair, you wouldn't have understood your feelings for Ms. Hilton if you hadn't been separated. You can't pin this on Ethan. They couldn't have taken her if she didn't want to leave.

"So, instead of blaming your friend, why don't you two think about why they wanted to leave?"

Henry sat down dejectedly. "Why? I gave her so much money. Isn't she in love with money? Why did she still leave me?"

"Are you dumb or just pretending? If a woman could be bou

    "Mr. Miller, you've been busy with work these days. You're even losing your sleep and appetite over Mrs. Miller. Your injuries haven't completely healed yet. What will we do if you collapse?" Brent said. Ever since Ethan's identity was exposed in the dark web, Miller Group had also taken a hit.The company had a lot of subsidiaries. Recently, a lot of them, such as the real estate arm and the F&B arm, experienced some trouble. Some people were manipulating things from the shadows. They were from all sorts of shadowy organizations. When running a business, the scariest threats came from the ones hiding in the dark. Even Bryan had received word of what was happening. "If this goes on, your losses will be overwhelming. What's your next move?""You know me. It's going to be an eye for an eye. I'll make them pay a hundred times over."Ethan sneered. "He knows I have the dirt on those people. He'll only lose if this goes on. That's why he got desperate and tried to make a move on

    It was like Jack knew what she was about to ask. "Ask away.""We've only known each other for a short time. I know you helped me investigate someone because of Martha and the others, but what about the things you helped me with afterward? "You helped me out behind the scenes and raised my children for me. Even when I asked you to help me escape, you helped out to the best of your abilities without any complaints."We're not family, but you risked your life to do all these things for me. There has to be a reason why you're doing all this, right?A dagger appeared in Jack's hand out of nowhere. This was the first time Olivia had seen his weapon. It looked like it was extremely sharp. At that moment, Jack seemed mysterious with a hint of viciousness. "Why don't you guess why I'm doing this?" Jack's voice was low and sounded especially eerie in the dark. It sent a chill down Olivia's spine. "I don't know. All I know is that no one does anything for no reason. I know that the

    Olivia looked at the starry night sky and thought about the dream she just had. The baby's cries from the dream were still ringing in her ears. Was it because the baby had sensed what she wanted to do?"I don't know.""Olivia, you can't keep this baby." Colin heard them talking and came out to sit down beside Olivia."You underwent chemotherapy before, and the side effects will persist for some time. There are no guarantees that the baby won't be affected by these side effects. "Besides, you'll be taking my drugs for the coming months. Even if the baby survives, the chances of it ending up deformed are very high."Olivia did some calculations. She stayed in the city for seven months after the final chemotherapy session before leaving. Then, she spent two months at sea. She rested on the island for over a month after the pirates attacked. The baby was conceived around two more weeks after that. It had been almost a year since she underwent chemotherapy. Maybe the baby was sa

    Olivia hadn't gotten a medical examination since she underwent chemotherapy a year ago. Her condition had been stable for the past year. The side effects were slowly dissipating. Her stomach hadn't acted up since. She felt like the tumor must have shrunk.Even so, she still felt uneasy before the results were out. If her body was in bad condition, she would have an excuse to have an abortion. As a mother, her first instinct was to keep her child safe. It didn't matter if she liked the baby or not. It was alive, and she didn't want to abandon it. Colin came out with the results as she was battling with conflicting thoughts. "How is it, Colin?"Colin had a grave expression on his face. "It's not good, Olivia. You have to get an abortion as soon as possible." Olivia took a step back when she saw the size of the tumor on the report. She couldn't see or touch the tumor, but it had been torturing her with the side effects of the chemotherapy. Recently, she hadn't felt any disco

    Colin immediately snuffed out the cigarette he was holding. He had a panicked expression on his face. After all, he had always maintained a goody-two-shoes image before Olivia.Even though she already knew that he was a member of Toxic Hive and there were no good people in that organization, he was good at concealing his true personality. "Olivia, did you hear anything?"Olivia clutched her stomach and said, "I have a stomach ache. Where's the toilet? What were you two talking about?"She looked calm, so she probably didn't hear anything they said. Colin sighed in relief. "Does it hurt a lot? Do you need to get another examination?""It's okay. We did an ultrasound just now. It should be fine. I'll head to the toilet first.""Alright, Olivia. I'll help you to the toilet."Colin kept up the act of a polite young man despite already looking like an adult with no signs of adolescence. He always acted like a harmless little lamb before Olivia. Olivia went to the toilet and clos

    Three months had gone by. Ethan had tried countless ways to find Olivia but to no avail. He even tried to locate her by tracking Joel. He had thought Olivia would contact the Golden Medical Institute to further her studies because of Rufus. That way, he would be able to know where she was and how she was doing, even if he couldn't see her on a daily basis. He didn't want things to be the way they were. He didn't have any news on her whereabouts. Ethan was smoking non-stop in his room. Henry was downing glass after glass of alcohol. The atmosphere was incredibly stress-inducing. It took Henry three whole months to understand his feelings toward Everly. She wasn't a plaything to her. But even if he understood that, Everly was still nowhere to be found. Even if he wanted to threaten her with her family, he couldn't even get in contact with her. He had no way of getting to her, and that made him feel helpless. Ethan was missing Olivia. Although she was safer away from him, he

    Ethan's combat uniform was stained with blood. It was mostly the blood of his enemies. There were only some minor injuries on his arm. It was like he felt no pain. He had lost track of Olivia for three whole years. He had become a monster that was out for blood. "Golden Shark ran? Doesn't matter. All of his bases have been destroyed. He's just a rat scurrying around. Where else can he possibly go?" Ethan said with a bloodthirsty smile. "Mr. Miller, your arm is wounded.""It's nothing." Ethan looked at the tiny cut on his arm. A woman had cut him with a dagger. The woman resembled Olivia a little. That was why he got distracted when he was about to shoot her. He couldn't help but look at her eyes for a little while longer. He felt a sharp pain in his arm when he was distracted. It was like he was bitten by a venomous snake. He killed the woman and left emotionlessly. Getting hurt was very normal for people like him, so he didn't really care about the injury. But the area

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.

    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.

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
