Olivia smiled lightly and said, "I thought he was only a tool for you to exact revenge on me.""Why would you think that?" Ethan's brows furrowed tightly. He felt like something was off about Olivia tonight. He wanted to say something. But due to the incident with Marina, he had to go and handle the mess that she made. Awaiting him was not only a tearful Marina but also the unbearable Carltons. He handed Olivia the keycard to the guest room and said, "Go to the room and get changed."No one would know she was the one with him in the room if she changed. And as for the rumors online, Ethan could easily handle that. He didn't know what Olivia was planning. The fireworks show was brought forward by two hours to 8:00 pm to turn people's attention away from the embarrassing incident. The fireworks lit up the dark sky. It also attracted a lot of people to look at it. Many appeared on the snow-crusted deck to look at the fireworks. The deck quickly became very lively. The fl

Connor had always hoped to see Olivia again. Wobbling, he ran toward Olivia. Smiling at him, she reached out to him. "My dear Connor, do you want to leave with me?" Connor did not understand her words. All he knew was that she reached out to him. All he needed to do was to grab hold of her hand. He placed his chubby little hand into Olivia's palm without hesitation, allowing her to raise him up. He held onto Olivia's neck. He rubbed his face against Olivia like a puppy before saying in an affectionate tone, "Mama." Olivia looked at him lovingly, saying, "Silly boy, I'm not your mother. You should call me Aunt." At the moment, everyone else was gathered at the front of the ship to watch the fireworks show. She was able to carry Connor away with no issues. Olivia brought Connor to her room, where there was cake. She put a birthday hat on Connor and lit up the candle. She then sang him a birthday song in a gentle tone. Connor did not know what she was doing, but he smiled

The winds were strong. Connor was snuggled up in Olivia's arms as the snow swirled around them. Olivia pointed at a spot in the ocean and said, "My baby disappeared in this part of the ocean. He wasn't as lucky as you. He stopped breathing as soon as he was taken out of my body. He never had the chance to look at the sun."Little one, do you think he feels lonely at the bottom of the ocean? Why don't you go and keep him company? The water might be a bit chilly. You might feel uncomfortable for a bit, but it'll all be over soon …"And finally, you'll completely disappear from this world. That would scar him for life. You're his favorite son. That would surely break his heart, right?" Olivia pinched his face with a sad smile. "At least you're not like my baby. His existence was a tragedy from the minute he was conceived to the moment he passed." She held Connor's hand as they slowly walked to the edge of the ship. "Connor look! It also snowed heavily like this last year. Son, you

Olivia's words rang in Ethan's mind."Look, the snow tonight is so beautiful."Today is the day our baby died, Ethan. Have you ever spared him a thought this past year? Even for just a moment?"I thought he was only a tool for you to exact revenge on me."Ethan had it all wrong. She thought Olivia's target was Marina, but he didn't think about Olivia's dead child. She purposefully picked today for her revenge. It was so that she could sacrifice Connor to her dead son on the day he passed. That was a great way to get back at Marina and himself. Ethan was anxious and furious. Olivia was still the same person she used to be; she had never given up on her extreme thoughts! His heart went through a roller coaster of emotions in the span of about a minute. His palms were already drenched in cold sweat.He sprinted to the top floor as fast as he could. The first round of the fireworks show was over. The next round was in the middle of preparation. At this moment, it was like the

He left the room after he said those words. Olivia did not understand his intentions. He did not yell at her, and neither did he throw a temper tantrum. He didn't even question her actions. What did he mean by "the best decision she could've made"?The door closed with a bang, and a new round of fireworks started. Looking at the fireworks, they burned brightly but only for an instant. She felt like her life was like that. She shone brightly for a short while before endless sorrow and darkness were all that was left. As everyone was enjoying the lively atmosphere, Olivia suddenly heard a woman scream. "Master Connor!" Was she just hearing things? Next moment, she saw a few men run past her door in a rush. One of them was holding Connor! She didn't know what was going on, but she was already running after them before she knew it. Connor's shrill cries rang across the corridor, but everyone else was focused on the fireworks show. Most of the security guards were busy helping se

Mina retold the entire incident from the beginning. When Marina heard that Olivia also got on the boat, her first reaction was to pin the blame on her. "I knew Olivia was up to no good. She must've been the one who hired those men to take our child! Ethan, you have to get Connor back!" Ethan felt a strong urge to slap Marina, but he was not in the habit of hitting women. He thought no one in their right mind could've said what Marina said. Holding back his anger, he said, "Get her out of here." Brent had already begun investigating. Ethan was touched when he saw footage of Olivia recklessly going after the group of men. He knew better than anyone that if she wanted to hurt Connor, she would've done it long ago. She did love Connor—so much so that she went after him even when she knew the men had guns on them. Looking worried, Brent whispered, "Mr. Miller, could your identity have been exposed? Did they take Master Connor to exchange him for that item?" Ethan pursed his

The cruise ship docked ahead of schedule before the sun was even up. The guests did not know what happened and were wondering why the event ended prematurely. After all the guests had disembarked, Marina began to throw a temper tantrum."Why haven't you sent people after Olivia? That bitch colluded with the kidnappers to take my son away. She …"Brent felt a strong desire to slap her when he heard what she said. He kicked the culprit that allowed the kidnapping to happen into the room. It was Marina's uncle, Marcus. Marina became furious when she saw that. "What's the meaning of this? You're not looking for Olivia, and instead, you brought my uncle here?" "You want to know what? Why don't you explain yourselves first?" Ethan sat on the couch with a scowl before slamming a stack of receipts on the table. "I allocated a budget of one million dollars for Connor's birthday party. How much did he line his pockets with?" Marcus was Helen's only brother. After she passed, the Ca

Marina quickly ran toward Ethan and said, "It has to be Olivia. You just need to look into her. In the worst-case scenario, you still have Jeff in your hands. If we threaten her with Jeff, she'll give Connor back." Ethan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Marina, his eyes filled with restrained anger. "Ethan, I …""Marina, sometimes I wonder what nonsense goes through your brain."Leaning forward slightly, he whispered, "I'd like to split your head open and take a look, if not for Kurt's sake." His deep voice shook Marina, who looked at him in fear. But all she could see was anger in his eyes; an anger so fiery it seemed like it could burn her up. Ethan was at the verge of losing control. He was trying his best to hold back his anger, but his eyes revealed the raw anger and hatred he had for her. "You'd better pray nothing happens to them. If not, no one will be able to save Marcus. Not even if Kurt returns from the grave and begs for me to spare him."Marina's ba
