Chapter 492

Ethan saw that Olivia was determined, so he didn't refuse. "It's a little far away. You can rest in the car."Olivia said stiffly, "No need. I'm not tired."She nodded off after ten minutes, and her head was tapping on the car window. Ethan looked at her sheepishly. He wouldn't bite. She didn't have to lean against the window. Reaching out, he pulled her over to him. Olivia opened her eyes and saw what he was doing. She tried to struggle but was too sleepy to do so and quickly fell asleep in his embrace.Her body craved sleep during this period of time, so she slept through the entire journey. Ethan looked at her quietly. It had been a long time since he could sit quietly with Olivia. The past couple of years had been chaotic. He hoped that the time would pass slower. The car drove up a hill, and the sky was completely dark. Olivia began to wake up. She realized that she was in Ethan's arms and quickly moved away. Ethan sighed sheepishly. Olivia's voice was a little hoarse a

Chapter 493

Olivia wondered what was happening in the woods. It was clear that this wasn't a random attempt. Leia had help. Olivia felt anxious, but she didn't make a move. She was pregnant, and it was safer to remain where she was. She wondered if Ethan had been shot. As Olivia was deep in thought, she heard another loud bang. A bullet pierced through the darkness and barely missed her face. The bullet was buried in the wardrobe behind her. Olivia froze with wide eyes, unable to move. She just had such a close encounter with death. Then, she noticed a man on a slope not that far away. His range of fire was limited because he wasn't armed with a sniper rifle. Olivia was able to make out the outline of the shooter's silhouette.He was wearing a mask. His figure was tall and slender. The eyes behind the mask met with Olivia's gaze. Olivia called out his name immediately, "Jack, is that you?"The man didn't respond. He gave her a good look before disappearing into the woods. Olivia was sure

That would mean Jack was a mercenary too. What about the weapons he stowed on the island? Brent quickly told Ethan about the danger Olivia was in. Ethan promptly approached her and asked, "Are you hurt?"Shaking her head, Olivia said, "No. I hid after the first shot was fired. Their goal must have been to bring Leia away, so they didn't come after me." "It's no longer safe here. Brent, move Olivia as soon as possible."Ethan was worried that the mercenaries might have rigged the resort. And if they were detonated, no one would have time to escape. "Arrangements have been made. Let's go, Mrs. Miller."Olivia looked like she wanted to say something. "I …""I know what you want to talk about. I'll make time for it later. Liv, I can only tell you that these people are dangerous. If they're really after you, the situation will be dire." Ethan said seriously, "But you don't have to worry. You're still safe for now. Their goal was to take Leia away. I'll arrange for another safe

Olivia was flown back to the city by helicopter just to be safe. Jeff went up to her as soon as she got home. He wanted to know if she had made up with Ethan."How did it go with Ethan today?"Faced with Jeff's concern, Olivia could only lie, "It went okay, Dad. I told you not to worry. We were together for the whole day.""That's good. I was scared that the conflict between you two would last. The babies are growing every day. They can pick up on your emotions. The family needs to stick together for the children to grow up healthily."Jeff brought Olivia to see his latest work with a smile. It was a gorgeous, handcrafted wooden crib. "Look at this. It took me several days to make this crib. I just finished it." There were cute animals carved on the four corners of the crib. It had also been polished and smoothed. It wouldn't hurt the babies' mouths even if they nibbled on the crib. There was even a crib mobile on it. The crib was very exquisite. It looked as good as anything s

Chapter 496

Marina was indeed awake. It wasn't because she was excited, but instead, it was because she was outraged. Her people discovered that Ethan drove to a villa not long ago. It wasn't Miller property, but it was heavily guarded. It was obvious that Olivia was there. Her husband went to his ex-wife's home the night before their wedding. Marina couldn't hold back her anger anymore. She decided that Olivia had crossed the line, so she was prepared to get back at her.Ethan didn't leave Olivia's room. Even if Olivia hated his guts, he stubbornly sat by her bedside for the entire night. The moonlight shone on him and made him glow. Olivia could see his bandaged hand in the dim light, but she didn't ask about it. In the end, she could no longer fight the drowsiness and fell asleep. Ethan lay down next to her, fully dressed. He thought about everything he had gone through with Olivia. He didn't know what went wrong and caused them to drift apart. Even if their relationship was on thin

Jeff put on a straight face as he was racking his brain for an explanation. "I was trimming some bushes. I'm just throwing away some trash," Jeff said as he threw a bunch of branches into the trash can, which covered up the pieces of the invitation. "Mr. Fordham, you can leave the manual labor to us." "It's okay. The exercise helps with my recovery. Is Olivia up yet?""No, Ms. Fordham has been sleeping more recently. Sometimes, she sleeps until 11:00 am."Jeff thought about something and then said, "Sleeping more is good. By the way, I suddenly remembered that an old friend of mine is celebrating his birthday today. Can you lend me your phone? I want to make a call."Mona was an innocent woman. She didn't think about it too much and handed him her phone. "Here, Mr. Fordham."Jeff dialed a number and walked to a corner. Mona saw that he wanted some privacy, so she also moved away. But she'd raise her head to look at Jeff occasionally. Ethan had given specific orders to keep

Chapter 498

Jeff's thoughts drifted back to a few years ago. He was satisfied with Ethan as a son-in-law, but he got angry when Ethan said he wasn't planning to have a wedding. Olivia was his only daughter. He didn't want to hand her over without being promised a grand event. But Olivia begged Jeff repeatedly for his blessing. She told him that Ethan was the best man she had ever seen and that he would never make her sad. She also said she didn't need a ceremony as long as they loved each other. Jeff knew he missed his chance at love, but he wanted Olivia to be happy, so he relented. He didn't expect his daughter to end up without a rightful status. No one even knew that Olivia was Ethan's wife. It was so absurd. And now that Ethan was marrying another woman, he was announcing it to the world. Jeff felt bad for Olivia. She gave Ethan everything she had, but she ended up with nothing. She even lost function in one of her hands. Ethan claimed to have put them in the manor so they could rec

Mona recounted what had happened in the morning. "Now that I think about it, Mr. Fordham looked like he was pretending to be calm. I thought I saw him tearing something before I walked up to him."Mona began to pour out the contents of the trash bin without caring if she got dirty. The bright red invitation was very eye-catching. "What is that?"Mona frantically reassembled the invitation and said, "This is bad. Mr. Fordham has seen the invitation. That's right, he also borrowed by phone before he told me he'd be going back into the house. Would he already be at the hotel?"Olivia's face paled as she asked, "When did this happen?""30 minutes ago." "This is a disaster. Get the car ready. I have to stop Dad."For more than two years, Jeff was cut off from the outside world. He was completely unaware of what had happened. If he were to learn about Chloe's death and Ethan's betrayal, given his current situation, he would surely be unable to accept these facts.Olivia tried to

Chapter 500

Jeff walked around the venue a few times but didn't see Ethan. Not only that, he didn't see Chris or Chloe either. He knew that Marina was Chris' only child. He wondered why the parents weren't present for her wedding. He did see Otto, who looked older and depressed. Jeff felt tired after walking around the venue a few times. He wanted to find a spot to rest when he heard a woman taking near him. "Marina, do you think Olivia will come?"The mention of Olivia's name attracted Jeff's attention. He looked toward the people who were talking and saw Marina sitting in her wheelchair in a wedding dress. She looked exactly like the woman on the poster outside the hotel. Jeff realized that she was the woman Ethan was going to marry. He was surprised to see her in a wheelchair. Jeff had thought of plenty of names to call the woman who stole his daughter's husband. But his anger subsided a little when he saw that Marina was crippled. He began to think that there might be more to the stor

Chapter 501

Jeff's mind went blank when he heard that Chloe was dead. He felt like he couldn't breathe, and the blood in his veins froze. Face pale, his body was trembling uncontrollably. He grabbed Marina's hand emotionally and asked, "How did your mother die?"Marina hated it when people brought up Chloe's death before her. She was the one that caused Chloe's death, and she didn't want to face that fact. "What does it have to do with you? Which hole did you crawl out of, you peasant? Get away before I call for security." Marina looked at Jeff's expression that was mixed with shock, pain, and disbelief. She wondered if he was an old friend of Chloe's. When she thought of that, her disdain for him eased a little. "Never mind. It's my wedding today. Since you're already here, you should stay for a drink." Calista glanced at Jeff and said, "Now, scram. I can tell you don't belong here from your attire. Don't dirty Marina's dress." Jeff was still wallowing in the pain of Chloe's passin
