Olivia buried her face in Ethan's chest. "Ethan, I do love you, but I can't get over the past. Those days were too painful; so painful that it hurts."To realize herself ill and abandoned? She didn't even have the courage to reminisce about those days."Could you not force me? Please?"He sighed, his eyes darkened.Pushing her was never his intention. Wayne's appearance actually posed a threat to Ethan.Although Ethan managed to take her back to the country safely, her identity was exposed.If she wasn't Septem, Linus didn't have to show up in person—Wayne understood that very well.Based on Wayne's character, Ethan reckoned the man wouldn't let it slide that easily.To add on, Olivia was reluctant to get married again. Even though he was holding her right now, the lack of sense of security still dug up a void in him.A long sigh escaped from him. "Fine. I won't."Nestling in his arms, she was wide awake.Her phone died a long time ago. Many people must have been looking f
Olivia sighed at women's fates, where they could never take full control of their lives.After putting on makeup and wearing a mask, she drove out, heading for the villa in the suburbs.Cautiously, she waited at the junction until Yale's car was driven away before she entered the villa."Ms. Molly, I'm outside your place."The door opened to reveal Molly and her red eyes. Molly appeared skinnier than before.Olivia patted her shoulder. "Let's talk inside.""Sure." Molly held Olivia's hand, leading her into the house.Florence's eyes of hostility observed Olivia intensely. Olivia cleared her stance by pointing out, "Relax, I'm here to comfort her. Get us a glass of warm water and a warm napkin."Florence actually planned to snitch on Olivia, but the latter appeared trustworthy for some reason.In the end, Florence went to fetch water and a napkin as told.Olivia wiped Molly's face, especially her eyes, with the napkin. Then, she proffered the glass of water to Molly. "Have som
Krystal's belly was still flat like Molly's. However, Krystal's sleeping hours and appetite increased tremendously. On a side note, her metabolism rendered her the type to gain weight easily. Before this, she managed to stay fit because of regular exercise.Now, after over a month of lack of control in her diet, she had gained a lot of pounds.Fortunately, her tall stature complemented her size, and so she merely appeared fitter.She wasn't that much of a beauty to begin with. Now that she had gained a few pounds, she became uglier.Although Yale didn't care about looks that much, the more he looked at her face, the more repulsive it was to him."Yale, you're finally here. It's been days since you last came to visit me." Krystal stuck to Yale as soon as she saw him, giving him a layer of goosebumps.Holding in the urge to puke, he wore a smile. "I'm here now. I'm kinda busy these days. Behave and stay at home. "Once I finish my work, I'll take you to the hospital for a pren
"I came under Mr. Yale's orders. I have something for you. Please open the door." Lisa was fully prepared.From the monitor, Florence could see a middle-aged woman in a neat maid uniform. The woman was carrying a lunchbox.Perhaps Yale had bought nice food for Molly, who hadn't been eating well recently.Florence opened the door without a doubt. Lisa worked for the Heaths, so Florence didn't know who she was."You can give it to me.""No, Mr. Yale told me to personally hand it to the lady. If I don't follow his orders, would you be able to handle the consequences?" For long years of ministering, Tatiana taught Lisa how to deal with these kinds of people. A fierce attitude was enough to intimidate the other party.Although Florence didn't know what Lisa had brought over, Lisa's solemnity toward her task was credible."She's resting. You can leave it here. I'll hand it to her when she wakes up.""Didn't you hear me? Mr. Yale specifically told me to give it to her."In the fa
Krystal lost it the moment she saw Olivia. Resentment had taken root in Krystal when Olivia stole Ethan away from her.Now that she finally got together with Yale after those hardships, Olivia was getting in her way again.Without giving a fig about her image, Krystal swung her hand to slap Olivia.But Olivia didn't give Krystal the chance to do so as she grabbed Krystal's wrist. "Elaborate. What do you mean by me seducing Yale?"Meanwhile, Florence discreetly reported to Yale after realizing the solemnity of the situation.The sleeping Molly woke up due to the noise, and her eyes opened. "Ms. Miraculous Doctor, what's going on?"The innocent woman walked out of the room. Upon Molly's appearance, Krystal realized that she had mistaken the wrong person.The "mistress" was this innocent-looking woman!Krystal shoved Olivia away. "I'll deal with you later."Leading a group of bodyguards, Krystal bulldozed her way to Molly. "So, you're that bitch who seduced Yale?"Molly didn
Things got out of control. Olivia wondered what Molly did that had made Krystal so angry.Knowing from her experience, Olivia was aware of how crazy and stubborn Krystal was. Krystal wouldn't care about the truth. All she cared about was herself.Considering how Molly was pregnant, something bad might happen if this continued.Hurriedly, Olivia shared their location with Linus so that he could send help.He should take care of the mess his sister caused. After all, it was already awkward enough between Olivia and Krystal due to their identity.Once she texted the SOS message, she realized a bodyguard was approaching Molly.Olivia attacked him from behind. "Do you take pleasure in bullying a weak woman?"He turned. "Leave if you don't want to get hurt. Punches fly, and they aren't picky.."Olivia began attacking without hesitation, and he gladly took the challenge without holding himself back. His plan was to take control of her by swinging her arms behind her back.Despi
"Ms. Molly!" Florence shrieked at the top of her lungs.She wished she could bulldoze her way through the crowd to reach her. But those bodyguards wouldn't let that happen.Lisa grabbed Florence with a sinister expression. "She had that coming. She should've known what to do and what not to do. Her young age doesn't justify her deeds."Then, Lisa slapped Florence.Olivia called her out, "Enough, Ms. Walker! You're becoming an accomplice!"As Tatiana's maid, Lisa had always seemed to be good, and she was diligent with her work. Every time Olivia saw Lisa, the latter appeared honest and reliable.But today's event served as an eye-opener for Olivia. Some people could be two-faced, after all.In fact, Lisa had always frowned upon Olivia. Now that the Heath family wasn't around, Lisa didn't care to mask her hostility. "Ms. Fordham, if I were you, I wouldn't have stuck my nose into this. "You're one of the Heaths. You should respect your aunt, Ms. Heath. But you're siding wit
Krystal sneered. "Olivia Fordham, you think I'll buy that? Bitch. You're an exception, but I can do anything I want to her. "Watch me carefully. This is the punishment for stealing someone else's man."At that point, Krystal vented the anger born from Olivia's incident with Molly.Clutching Molly's hair, Krystal dragged Molly down the stairs. Every time Olivia pushed a bodyguard out of her way, the others would build a human wall before her.Her finger pointed at Krystal. "Are you going to let her murder someone? Do you even call yourselves human? That woman is innocent!""Sorry, but orders come before anything." They stood in front of her, unwavering.She couldn't put up with this any longer. The urge to take that gun away from them was getting stronger.She might stand a chance against three of those bodyguards, but eight was impossible.All of these retirees from the special forces stood at least 6'2 tall. Confronting just one of them head-on wasn't easy by itself.Consi
