"If I hadn't heard you saying those words with my ears, I wouldn't have known how good you are at making up stories."Alfred immediately got up. He kneeled as he began slapping himself. "It's all my fault. I'm sorry, miss, please forgive me. I should have known better."Mr. Linus, please have mercy on me, even if it's just because I've worked hard for the family for so many years. I'm getting too old."Linus replied, "Since you're getting too old, you should let someone else be the butler. We didn't pay you a high salary every day just to bully others at home."When Alfred heard that he was getting fired, he sobbed even louder.He earned a lot as the butler of the Heath family, and he even had lots of ambiguous income. He wouldn't want to let go of a wonderful job like that.Tatiana's voice rang out behind them. "What's going on?"Tatiana looked at Olivia, faking a warm expression as she said, "Vanessa, you're a guest in this house. If the household staff are lacking in any as

Alfred was aware that Tatiana was trying to sacrifice a pawn to secure the big picture. He had underestimated Olivia's importance to Mason and Linus.If things went on like this, even Tatiana would get the blame. Abandoning Alfred was a better choice than getting Tatiana dragged down with him.Alfred was at a loss. Tatiana was Mason's wife, after all. Even if Mason was angry at her, they would reconcile soon enough.But if Alfred exposed Tatiana, he would be offending the entire Heath family. When that happened, he might be chased out.So, Alfred took all the blame right away. "Yes, Mrs. Heath did remind me to do that. I was doing a good job at first, but the room didn't have a heating system."I contacted the repairman right away, but he wasn't free to come over today. This is totally out of my control. My attitude was lacking back then, and I should be punished for mistreating the young lady."Mr. Heath, Mr. Linus, please forgive me."As expected, after Alfred said that, Tatia

Tatiana's expression darkened at the mention of that matter. "Shut up. You knew very well that it's taboo to talk about that around your dad.""What sort of taboo is that? My dad must have abandoned his family for wealth and glory back then. "After that, he slowly climbed up the ranks with you. To be honest, my dad is quite the jerk.""Nonsense. Who told you all that?"Krystal stuck out her tongue. "M-My grandma told me that.""Your grandma is spouting nonsense. Times are different now. Now, it's the Benson family trying to gain your dad's favor. You should be aware of your dad's temper."If you mention this matter in front of him, you'll get slapped for sure."Krystal said, "I know. I'm just asking. That woman is so normal-looking, and she doesn't look like my dad at all. Don't take it to heart, Mom.""Yeah. You've seen how things turned out. Your dad and your brother were too good to that wench, and they would even fire Alfred without hesitation."You'd better be careful ar

Mason looked gently at Olivia. "Your temperament matches mine quite well, and your eyes …""My eyes?" Olivia looked at Mason with a curious gaze."Nothing. I hope you do a good job, child. I won't mistreat you." In the end, Mason didn't continue his sentence.Only her eyes looked like that person. Olivia Fordham should be the one who looked the most similar to that person.Back then, Ethan had gotten married on his own, and Mason had no idea who the bride was. Later on, when Ethan attended the award ceremony with Olivia, Mason was shocked to see Olivia's face.Mason even asked someone to investigate in private. Olivia's father was Jeff Fordham, and the Fordhams were Aldenvine locals. Mason was sure that they had nothing to do with that woman.Olivia felt that Mason had many things he didn't mention. She wondered what it was that Mason chose not to say.It was snowing heavily outside. Olivia accompanied Mason as she made nutritious food for him. She made tea and cakes for him a

Mason was nice to Olivia, but he had never thought of letting her be his daughter-in-law.He felt upset when he saw Tatiana being so against the idea. She was behaving as if Olivia were some sort of trash."Vanessa is a famous miracle doctor. She's not that bad.""Didn't you hear what Krystal said? Vanessa already had a child, and the baby had green eyes. Her husband is probably from some other race."My son wouldn't fancy some secondhand trash who comes with a child."Mason slammed his fist on the table. "Tatiana, you'd better watch your mouth. I've never had such intentions."I was just being kind to her since she has saved my life, and she doesn't have a family of her own. Moreover, with her current fame, she doesn't lack any money."She was right. No matter how rich someone is, they'll still be afraid of getting sick. They don't even dare to offend her lest she refuses to perform surgery on them!"She didn't have to come and treat me at all. Do you think that she's dying to

"What banquet?""I suppose it's a banquet to find a wife for Linus." Ethan looked longingly at Olivia. "I can't wait to see you again."Olivia ended the call. She was more curious about how Tatiana and Krystal were going to spend the night.She thought that Mason was only saying that on a whim, but unexpectedly, he meant what he said.Tatiana and Krsytal, who were forced to sleep in a room without heating, couldn't quite take it anymore.Throwing a tantrum, Krystal said, "Is Dad crazy? He's forcing us to live in the cold just because of that wench?""I don't know if he did it for that wench, but he doesn't allow anyone to challenge his power. I was too careless about this matter. I didn't expect that wench to be brave enough to cause such a ruckus."Tatiana clenched her fists tightly. She was just trying to inconvenience Olivia in secret.It was just a small matter, but Tatiana didn't expect Olivia to report it straight to Mason. Anyone could see that Olivia wanted Mason to do

Olivia slept soundly that night. The view of the snowscape from her room was amazing. It had 270-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, and the motorized curtains would draw automatically.As Olivia gazed at the white snow outside falling onto the white walls and black tiles, she felt like she was teleported back into ancient times.After a simple washing up, Olivia put on her mask again. Then, she opened the door, heading out to prepare breakfast for Mason.A chill quickly enveloped her when she stepped out of the room. She felt so cold that she sneezed. The deeper it was in the winter months, the colder it would get.Olivia gazed in the distance, thinking about Connor.Ethan had told her that Connor was sent to an island for training, so she couldn't see him for now.When spring came around next year, Connor would have a month off.Connor must have gotten much taller."Good morning."Linus was wearing thin short sleeves as he did aerobic exercises in the yard. The tight-

As night fell and patrol cars cleared the way, the chefs for the banquet began making preparations.Olivia never thought that she would get an opportunity to taste the food served at a grand banquet again.Reaching out, she caught a snowflake drifting down. She thought of herself seven years ago when she had just received news that she had cancer.She had thought that she wouldn't be able to make it past that winter.As Olivia stood in the antique hall, gazing at the guests who were dressed in formal attire and carrying themselves politely, she felt like she was in a dream.She not only survived, but she also gained a few adorable and understanding children.Even though she wasn't the star of the show today, when she made her appearance, everyone focused their attention on her.Krystal was dressed in a graceful and dignified manner. She wore lots of jewelry, and she finally looked the part of a young lady from a distinguished family.In contrast, Olivia made her way to the hall
