Chapter 1137
Watching her children dancing together, Tatiana was all fired up.The party was meant to be a blind date in disguise and yet her children didn't give her peace of mind at all. It seemed like she could only depend on her own.When the song ended, Ethan could barely let Olivia go, but he did it anyway.Tatiana approached them. "Ethan, Vanessa, thank you so much for helping my husband. Cheers.""I simply did what I had to, Mrs. Heath. It's my job to share your burdens.""You're too humble. Both of you have to drink this no matter what." Tatiana beckoned a waiter over.The waiter served them three glasses of wine. She took one of them, and the couple took the remaining."Here, Vanessa. I'm sorry for what happened between you and my daughter. It's my fault for spoiling her too much. I hope you'll look after my husband in the future.""Don't be such a stranger, Mrs. Heath." Olivia didn't think that Tatiana was being sincere with those words, but she had to keep it courteous."Let'

Ethan knew what Krystal was up to very well. He had noticed it since Tatiana offered him the glass of wine. He deemed it disdainful. Although it was a simple yet effective method, he thought that it was humiliating for someone like Krystal to do that.She had her own calculations, and he had his own plan.He stopped in his tracks after following her for a while. She looked at him. "What's wrong?""I think I left my phone on the couch. You should get back to your room. I'll go look for you later.""What if you don't come?" Obviously, Krystal wasn't willing to let that happen.Ethan questioned back, "Do you think that I won't go look for you when you have clues about Liv? She's everything to me."Even though it hurt her to hear him say that, Krystal was assured that he would come later. "I'll wait for you in the room, then."Ethan hummed in response and turned away to leave. His nether regions were slightly burning, indicating that the drug was kicking in.He had drunk the

Olivia returned to her room first.The moment she stepped through the door, she felt unwell. She felt a pulsing down there.She wondered, "Did someone drug me?"After contemplation, she reckoned that the wine from Tatiana was the only thing that was off. Olivia didn't expect someone like Tatiana to stoop to such a lowly deed!It seemed like she didn't care about her reputation as long as she could marry Krystal to Ethan.Olivia filled the bathtub with water and dipped herself in it, wanting to cool herself down.The longer she spent in the water, the hotter she felt. She wondered if it was because of the warm water.She stood up and put on a robe, figuring that she needed an injection.Olivia recalled the scene of taking the drink with Ethan.Tatiana's glass of wine was surely untainted. In order to make sure that the plan was a success, both the other glasses must have been drugged.As an afterthought, Olivia bet that Ethan was suffering as she was right now!Tatiana's

There wasn't any change in Linus' tone. "Are you sure you're alright?""I'm a doctor, Mr. Heath. I know my condition very well. Thanks for the concern. It's getting cold. You should rest up."The footsteps faded out, and Ethan buried his face in her neck. "Linus has taken a liking to you."Linus and Olivia had been getting along as friends, and he had been showing an interest in her.Although Olivia thought that it was not that likely, she could feel that he was paying a little too much attention to her.She couldn't distinguish the cause of such attention, whether it was due to love or gratitude."Don't take everything as a love matter."Ethan bent over to carry her to the bed. "You're still as naive as ever, Liv. There's no such thing as pure goodwill. When a man cares for a woman, it can't be anything else than love."Her tresses lay across the sheet. He held a strand of it to his nose to sniff it. "Unfortunately, you're mine and can only be mine."The night was meant to be

Fortunately for Tatiana, the slap didn't sting that much because Mason hadn't fully recovered.However, there was a red mark on her cheek."You slapped me! How could you slap me! Who am I doing this for? It's all for you!" she sobbed.She continued, "I know that you admire Ethan. Back then, you were afraid that it would be difficult for him to stand on his feet alone, so you pushed Yale up. You chose Yale because Linus was away from us."I know how much you approve of Ethan all these years. If we can make him our son-in-law, it can solve all of the problems. I'm not doing this for Krystal. I'm doing this for our family, for our families! I'm also thinking about our future generation!""Still … you shouldn't have resorted to such underhanded means. What will he think of you in the future?""What will he think of me? He's a divorced man, but we're marrying our daughter to him. He's not in the position to complain when even we're not saying anything."Mason took a sip of tea to cal

Right after the maid knocked on the door, Krystal screamed inside the room, "Why are you here!"Tatiana, who thought that Krystal was putting on an act, barged into the room. "Krystal, are you alright?"Krystal covered her body with the blanket when the door was opened.Teary-eyed, she pointed at the man who shouldn't be there.Even her voice was trembling. "W-Why are you here?"Linus was the only person clueless about the plan, so he didn't know what was going on.Meanwhile, Mason's expression was grim. He wasn't surprised to see Yale instead of Ethan.It wouldn't have been that interesting if Ethan was such an easy man to be taken down.Tatiana looked at Yale, whose torso was bare. Her complexion wasn't any better than Krystal's. "You … You …" Linus punched him in the face. "Why are you in Krystal's room?"Yale wore an innocent expression. "Last night, Krystal asked me to come to her room to tell me something. So, I came! But the lights weren't turned on when I entered the

Krystal bulldozed at Yale, hitting him while shouting, "This is a trap!"He let her be, showing no sign of fighting back.Tatiana pulled Krystal in an attempt to stop her.Mason's expression was grim because he had guessed the consequences ahead.He had figured that Ethan wouldn't fall for the trap, but he didn't expect Yale to be this daring to touch his daughter!However, it happened under Krystal's consent. Thus, Yale appeared to be the passive party."Now that things have turned out this way, I'm willing to take responsibility for Krystal."Krystal charged at him like a mad woman upon hearing that. "What did you say? I don't need that!""I'm a man. I'm not that cruel, Krystal."Furious, she scratched his face."Enough! Put on your clothes and leave the talking to later." Mason couldn't stand it any longer.Tear-stricken, Krystal turned around, only to realize Olivia was watching the show.Krystal threw a pillow at Olivia in a fit of fury. "What are you looking at, bitch

Olivia and Mason had pasta together. The meal definitely warmed them up."Feeling better now? Otherwise, you can have another bowl of pasta." She smiled.He caressed her head. "Your way of comforting is quite distinctive.""Neither Ms Heath nor you wanted that to happen. Now that things turned out this way, there's no use thinking about it anymore. Don't let it take a toll on your health."He didn't say a word about it, but she was clever enough to figure it out."You're not only good at treating people. Would you like to work for me?" Mason offered sincerely.Olivia shook her head. "I think there's more freedom to move around places. I might leave once you recover. I should prepare your medications. I bet Ms. Heath is ready too."Mason watched her leave. Her maturity rendered it difficult for him to let her go. She was a rare prodigy!A group of people entered Krystal's room, where she was crying while more marks adorned Yale's face.Tatiana and Linus wore long faces as the
