Olivia felt like someone had hit her on the head. She staggered and took a few steps back. She barely managed to steady herself after leaning on the table. She felt weak at the knees. "Olivia, nothing is absolute. My conclusion was made based on the perspective of a normal man. Explosions and toxic substances would be too much for any regular man. "But Ethan isn't a regular person. He had been trained professionally and survived all sorts of extreme situations. "We have to have faith in him. He will be fine because he will overcome the odds. He's currently missing. "I do not have confirmation yet. The explosions were too widespread. "They were at an abandoned factory site. No one lives there, and the surveillance cameras there have fallen into disrepair. So, no one knows what happened there." Olivia was in despair. Since she regained consciousness, Ethan had been telling her that people were trying to harm her. But she had no memories of the past, so she couldn't grasp the grav

After taking the medicine, Harold realized that his heartbeat was slowing down. Ethan wasn't an amateur; he had always been experienced in this area. Harold believed that he would escape as well.Still, when Harold closed his eyes, he could imagine the flames filling the sky. Humans were powerless when faced with huge disasters like this.It was like an avalanche. Even a skilled fighter couldn't do anything about it.Seeing his exhausted expression, Edmund hastily coaxed. "Don't worry too much, Mr. Harold. The fire at the scene still hasn't been put out yet, and there is poisonous gas everywhere."Our men have gone to search for Mr. Miller. They should have news soon."Harold lay back on the chair, placing his hands on his forehead. "If he dies there, how am I going to face his grandmother when I die and see her in the future?"Edmund stood at the side. Looking at Harold's graying hair, he finally realized how old Harold was getting.He sighed. "Let's trust that Mr. Miller will be f

Under the glow of the fire, the sea looked like a roaring monster.Sharon described the situation back then. "Mrs. Miller Senior, our people hadn't even approached the place when an explosion sounded from Mr. Miller's location. "I even heard gunshots in the fire. When we hurried there, the situation was already out of control. We didn't bring any gas masks with us, and the fire was too big. "There were also snipers getting ready in the distance, so …"Sharon's eyes were filled with guilt. Ethan didn't expect that, but even she wasn't aware that the enemies would be so cruel. Their plan was also so tightly linked together that there was no room for compromise.They made use of Ethan's intention to capture them alive. Then, they set up a trap for Ethan to jump into.Janice said with a dark expression, "I heard that they hired a hundred elite mercenaries to assassinate Liv a few months ago. "Now, Liv has already gone overseas. But they not only knew her location quickly, but they also

"Dad, I'm glad to hear your voice as loud and lively as always." Kenneth's voice rang out calmly from the living room.He had visited a few times in recent years, but he was driven off every time.He was a proud man, so he didn't want to come over often, either. But today was different. Because of his forceful attitude, the security guards didn't dare act too recklessly.After all, everyone knew that Kenneth was Harold's only son. No one dared to offend him lest he came back and took over in the future.This time, he wasn't the only one who paid a visit. He even came with his whole family, Jessica and Darrell.Olivia put down the bowl she had barely taken a few sips out of. Looking at the three, she was confused for a moment. She had no idea who was the joke here: her and Janice or Kenneth and his family.Noticing that Olivia had put down her bowl, Janice told her, "Eat more. Don't let some trash ruin your mood."Her love rival had come knocking to express superiority. But Janice rema

But Darrell supported Harold as if nothing had happened. With a considerate look on his face, he said, "Grandpa, Dad was right. It doesn't matter if you acknowledge me or not. It won't change the fact that we're still family in nature.""He's right, Dad. Kenneth was too rash back then, but now, he has seen the error of his ways. He came over today to apologize to you. Please forgive him."They were bombarding left and right, using the term 'family' as they wished. These people came prepared.Olivia gradually calmed down as well. Something had just happened to Ethan, but these people came over right away. Was it an accident or a coincidence?Harold wasn't feeling well right now. He felt a little weak, and he didn't even have the energy to reprimand them.Janice, who had been silent all this while, spoke up coldly. "Are you deaf or stupid? Do you not understand what Mr. Harold said?"Kenneth, you said before that you would never take a step into the Miller residence. Why are you eating

Janice's words almost pissed Kenneth to death. In the past, Janice had always spoken carefully to him. But now, even her punctuation was attacking him. Had this woman always been so sharp-tongued?The thing that gave Kenneth the most heartache was Jessica's painful childhood. But now, Janice had talked about it in such detail. Kenneth felt a little uncomfortable as he held Jessica's waist.Jessica was already sobbing, and she meant it this time. Her greatest taboo was someone mentioning her past. Of all the things to talk about, Janice had chosen the worst topic."Look at you, Janice! You don't look like a proper lady at all. You look more like an aggressive woman. Don't you feel ashamed at all?"Kenneth couldn't find any other words to insult her with, so he kept repeating the same things.Kenneth always said that Janice was an aggressive and rude woman. Janice wanted to say something more, but this time, Olivia stepped forward and spoke up."Mr. Miller Senior, it doesn't matter i

Harold looked up at Darrell with a fierce gaze in his eyes. "What did you say? Do you know something?"An innocent smile remained on Darrell's face. "Grandpa, I'd like to have a word with you alone. Are you free right now?"He was smiling, but a cold, venomous gaze filled his eyes. It sent chills down the beholder's spine.Harold gave him a thoughtful look. "Come to the study with me."Olivia helped Harold to the door. Harold only allowed Darrell and Edmund to enter while the others waited outside.Olivia felt a little uneasy. Harold's emotions were too unstable right now. After all, he was quite old, so she feared that Harold couldn't take it.Janice patted the back of Olivia's hand. "Don't worry, Mr. Harold knows what he's doing."With that, she took Olivia to the terrace, where they sat down together. Janice asked the household staff to bring them two portions of snacks. Through it all, she never once spared Kenneth a glance.With Janice coaxing her, Olivia ate a few snacks to reli

Even Edmund, who was standing at the side, looked up at the arrogant, illegitimate child.Without waiting for Harold to speak, Darrell continued. "You're quite biased, aren't you, Grandpa? The person Dad likes is Mom, but you barred her from coming into the house."You won't even acknowledge me, and you call me an illegitimate child. People insult and humiliate me because of that."Ethan shouldn't even have been born in the first place. But he received your love and the resources of the Miller family. Aren't you being too unfair to me?"Harold smashed the paperweight near his hand onto the desk. "You're a mutt born from an unrecognized union, but you dare make a fuss in front of me?"I'm telling you, I never acknowledged your mom back then, and I won't acknowledge you now. And you even want to inherit the family with your position? In your dreams!"Darrell sneered. "Is that so? Then, if the person you valued so much has died, who are you handing the Miller family to?""What do you mea

Faced with Olivia's questions, Darrell smiled victoriously. He looked like victory was finally in his hands, hence erasing his past shame."Calm down, Olivia. Ethan shares the same blood as mine, so why would I hurt him? I especially went to save him, but he was severely injured. They're still trying to save his life.""How is he exactly? Where is he?"Harold touched the beads on his bracelet. "You say that he's in your hands, so where's the evidence?"Darrell took out his phone and then played a video that lasted a few seconds. In the video, a man was lying on the bed, and he was seemingly going through an emergency rescue.He wore an oxygen mask on his face, and he was surrounded by doctors. Everyone could see that the face was Ethan's."How is he right now?""After the emergency rescue, his life is no longer endangered. You don't have to worry about that. Ethan is an important pawn under my control, so how can I let anything happen to him?"Having gotten the upper hand, Darrell deci

Darrell had completely revealed his true colors. He didn't hide his arrogance at all, which was a far cry from Ethan's solemn calmness.He slowly walked up to Olivia, extending a hand toward her. "Glad to be here, Olivia."Meeting his malicious gaze, Olivia didn't reach out. Instead, she walked past him and helped Harold up. "Grandpa, I'll take you back to your room."Harold nodded as he slowly got up to leave. Edmund felt helpless as he looked at Harold's wizened figure."Grandpa, are you seriously going to accept his conditions?""We don't have any news of Ethan for now. If Darrell is telling the truth, then that's the only thing I can do. But don't worry."I've already given Ethan many of the important properties and shares many years ago. Even if I acknowledge Darrell's identity, the properties are all under Ethan's name."Darrell won't be able to get them."Harold's eyes were gleaming cunningly as well. "His only betting chip is Ethan. He wants Ethan to stay alive more than us so
