Brent was quick in handling matters. He managed to receive a notarial certificate on the same day.Olivia was aware of how she was able to retrieve the house.It was thanks to the fact that she was willing to risk her safety to protect Connor. She did it out of reflex at that moment.Even if Connor was Marina's son, he was an innocent child.She smiled self-mockingly. There was a cut on her eyebrow, and she received the Fordham residence in exchange. The moment she shut her eyes, she always recalled how Marina forced her to get on her knees.She couldn't help but clench her fists.Olivia spent the following two days peacefully. Not only did she retrieve the Fordham residence, but Ethan also didn't show up in front of her.Coover found new findings regarding Jeff as he sent a few pictures to her.At that moment, she was eating the cherries Everly prepared. When she saw the pictures, the cherry in her hand fell onto the floor before it reached her mouth. Her phone fell onto

Olivia was utterly disappointed. She knew that he wasn't a kind person, but she had never expected this kind of cruelty from him.Now, she realized that she didn't know much about him. "Eve, you know what? On the day of the car crash, I was making a meal at home because it was Ethan's birthday …" she recounted.Everly drew a few tissues for Olivia to wipe her tears off. The tissues were soon dampened because Olivia couldn't stop crying.Olivia continued, "Ethan never celebrated his birthday because he shared the same birthdate as his sister. He's always in low spirits on his birthday."I racked my brain to come up with an idea to make him feel better. I remember I spent a lot of time decorating the place."Yet, before he came home, all I received was news of my father in dire condition after a car crash."She placed her hand on her chest, trying to catch her breath. "I once thought of ending the bad blood between us with my death."Now, I regret it. Why does the person have

To Everly, Olivia was a bright person who grew up with a good upbringing. She was a proper person who upheld the right values.She never used underhanded schemes. Even if she was born into a rich family, she didn't look down upon ordinary people.It was normal for Ethan to fall for a confident and sophisticated person like Olivia.As a woman herself, Everly liked Olivia, too. There were a lot of times when Everly was embarrassed of herself when she compared herself with the upright Olivia.However, the woman standing before Everly didn't feel like the Olivia she knew at all. Now, she was like a doll in a breakdown. Her beautiful eyes were devoid of emotions, sending chills down Everly's spine.Everly said, "Liv, what are you talking about?"Similar to a madwoman, Olivia cried and smiled at the same time.Her perspective shifted completely because of the pictures.Now, she finally understood why kindness was the opening for others to bully her.She wept. "He won't help me to look for

Olivia became agitated upon hearing Everly's words.An ominous glint danced in Olivia's eyes as she said aloud, "Connor is innocent. But my dead child is innocent, too! The person who should've died is him!"She rubbed her throbbing chest with a contorted expression. "If he hadn't been born, my child wouldn't have died.""Silly girl! Why do you have such extreme thoughts? Liv, listen to me, I am a realist, but I do believe in fate."Everything that's happening is destined to be. Your baby has become an angel sooner than most people. "If you look into the sky, he might be watching you. He wants you to live a good life, not waste your time doing the things you will regret later on."Think about the hardships you've gone through. I bet you can't bring yourself to see others experience the same thing, do you?" Everly asked.Olivia looked back at Everly icily. "Do you know what I went through the past year? "Why does my family have to be ruined? Marina is living happily with her f

A few days ago, Ethan found Leo, but he didn't inform Olivia about it.He flew to another country.He had something to settle there. But it was also because of something else that was important.He wanted to take Leo back to the country personally.He figured that Olivia would be happy to see Leo.Noticing the smile on his face, Ethan quickly shook that idea off. He thought, "Whether she'll be happy or not, it doesn't matter to me. "I found Leo because I want to take control of her life and death. That way, it'll be easier to torture her."Ethan spent a few more days abroad. He suddenly received news of Leo's disappearance.They had reached an agreement before this.Ethan sent Jeff's medical reports to Leo, who shared his professional opinion about it and agreed to perform the surgery.Yet, Leo vanished in thin air when Ethan was going to take him back to the country.Brent reminded Ethan, "Mr. Miller, Leo's acting weird."Ethan appeared calm, but his eyes were dangerous

Jeff survived the car crash, so Ethan provoked him. That resulted in Jeff getting a heart attack. Jeff was in a coma in the end.Olivia tightened her fists as resentment flared in her eyes.It was getting late. Kelvin drove her to the airport.She had a simple meal at the airport. It didn't matter to her if Jeff was able to regain his consciousness.As long as she was alive, she would never let Ethan and the others live in peace!She wouldn't be able to live long anyway. So she didn't mind the idea of bringing a few people down to rock bottom with her.Olivia waited in the waiting room for a while. She checked the landing hour through the schedule to head out of the room five minutes before the plane landed.It had been sunny without snowfall in Aldenvine for the past two days. Thus, the plane landed on time.Ethan took the VIP exit out. When Olvia was going to walk up to him, she noticed the person walking next to him.It was Chris. Although she had met him only onc

Olivia knew who it was without taking a look at the man.Ethan was wearing a suit that perfectly outlined his built figure. The glint in his eyes was dangerous, as always.She could recognize him through his sharp jaw alone, too.His cedar scent wafted her nose, creating an intimate atmosphere in the back seat.She stifled the urge to shove him away for her big plans. She broke the silence first. "Where have you been?"Now that she had gotten over him, she showed no interest in his life.She wouldn't take notice of his social media updates nor check his Twitter account repeatedly, let alone click his profile picture again and again.Had Ethan not informed her to pick him up from the airport, she wouldn't have known that he had been abroad."Work." It was a succinct answer.He wanted to talk about Leo, but it would ruin the atmosphere.Olivia was sitting on his lap. Her body was warming his thighs.In addition to the closed space, their intimate posture was a fluttering sce

Her eyes met Ethan's deep gaze. A faint light shone on his face. It cast a glow on half his face while the other half was shrouded in shadow. It reflected his conflicting personality. He could be an angel sometimes. But he could also be a demon. Olivia was not sure if he would agree to her request. It was his child's first birthday party, after all. His child, which he had with another woman. Their engagement party was postponed. But Marina brought the birthday party forward to announce her status and identity to the world. She had already sent out invitations to every rich and powerful person long ago. She wanted everyone to know. It was apparent that the ex-wife would not be welcomed at the party. Ethan did not say anything. But his naturally prideful temperament made her more nervous than ever. She didn't even realize that sweat was seeping out of her clenched fists. He looked at her seriously and said, "Fine." Her whole body relaxed after she got a positi
