The Heaths' investigation caused people to feel uneasy. Molly was a little worried about it.Yale comforted her gently. "No one can hurt you if you stay in the Heath Residence.""Yale, I know you've already sent people to look for Krystal. What would you do to her when you find her?"Yale was overjoyed that Krystal lost the Heath family's protection. Without that, she would be doomed when she fell into his hands. It had been so many days. And even though Molly's baby had to be aborted, Yale would feel intense emotions, including remorse, anger, and bloodlust, in the middle of the night.Molly knew what he was going through. That was why she would always put up a brave front when there were people around her. She didn't want him to worry. She was the victim but was trying her best to help everyone else feel better.Yale was consumed by darkness, and Molly was his only light. But her presence wasn't enough to drive away all the darkness in his heart. His hatred was still fes
Wayne had been building military bases in areas surrounding Arlandia. It was obvious what he was up to.Ethan would never talk about classified information like this with Olivia in the past. But things had changed. He was willing to talk to her as an equal on these matters at that point."There are five superpowers in the world right now. Other than Arlandia, there's Wayne's Carathia and Veutron, where the princess you saved hailed from."Two other countries have claimed to remain neutral, but they have been making moves in secret. "Where there are people, there is conflict. Countries certainly are the same.""In terms of military might, Zelotria and Hucreyle are the strongest. Are they the ones?""That's right. There's someone you know in Zelotria. Do you remember Avery Fordham? "The Fordham family is the most influential family in Zelotria. They are a force to be reckoned with, be it financially or politically."The mention of Avery sent Olivia down memory lane. It felt l
Olivia looked worried. "The day after tomorrow is fine. But… you have to go get the kids.""Why?"Olivia bit her lip. "There's a troublesome patient."Ethan narrowed his eyes. "A man?"All of a sudden, Olivia felt a little guilty. She shifted her gaze and said, "I've performed so many surgeries on male and female patients alike."Ethan leaned in toward her. "But this man is different to you.""Yeah. He's more troublesome than most other patients. That's why I remember him vividly.""Liv, how many men have you messed around with?"Ethan instinctively felt like there was more to the man in question. Or else, Olivia wouldn't look so wary.Olivia dove into Ethan's embrace. "There has never been anyone else. It's only ever been you."That night, she didn't return to the Heath Residence. She shared a night of passion with Ethan. Back when they were newlyweds, Ethan doted on her, but their feelings were too simple and frail. It couldn't weather the storm that was life. After a
Jeff looked very dashing in the picture on his grave. It was a picture of him before everything that happened to the Fordham family. Olivia bowed slightly. "Dad, would you be angry if I told you that I got back with Ethan?"Although Marina was the one who indirectly caused Jeff's death, Leia was the one who arranged his traffic accident. Ethan was the one who bankrupted the Fordham family. Olivia never forgot about what Millers had done. She knew she should stay away from Ethan, but she just couldn't seem to sever ties with him."Dad, you're such a gentle person. I know you wouldn't blame me even if you were alive. You only ever wanted me to be happy. "But Dad, it has been so many years, and I still can't let it go. You would've been able to witness the birth of my children if you had held on for a little longer. "By the way, you don't know this yet, right? Connor, whom you have seen pictures of, is actually my son. I hope this will bring you some peace of mind."Dad, how'
Wayne was a completely different person than when he was in Raka. Back then, he was arrogant and unhinged. He always had his collar unbuttoned and a cigarette in his mouth like a ruffian.At that moment, he wore a black suit with a white flower in his breast pocket. His hair was carefully styled. He stood out even among a group of men in black suits. His presence made the atmosphere feel more solemn.Judging from his bloodshot eyes, Wayne really cared about the person in the grave. Olivia was surprised. Intel on Wayne didn't indicate that he was connected to anyone in Arlandia. And if this person meant so much to him, why would the person be buried in Aldenvine and not Raka?Olivia was nervous, but she managed to keep a straight face. "I didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Maxwell. And the grave you're visiting belongs to…"She was just making small talk so the atmosphere wouldn't be so awkward. Unexpectedly, Wayne told his bodyguards to move aside. "If you're so curio
Linus was making a report back in the Heath Residence."Wayne and his men arrived at the airport at 3:00 pm.""That's quite punctual of him. He comes to visit that grave this time of the year every year. But this time, he also asked to visit me."Linus frowned. "Is it because Olivia stole his ring?""He's the leader of a nation. He won't bring up something like that without concrete proof."Mason squeezed a stress ball and said, "But just to be safe, tell Olivia to stay away. It's best if she doesn't meet with him.""Olivia didn't come back last night. She should be at her own home. I'll check."Linus called Ethan. "Is Olivia with you?""She's at home.""Ask her not to come to the Heath residence today. Wayne will be coming.""Understood."Ethan had been busy the entire day. He looked at the calendar. He had forgotten something. Olivia was still sleeping when he left in the morning. She had been exhausted recently, so he didn't wake her. She said she would continue dec
Olivia kept a straight face and didn't respond to Wayne's probing. Instead, she reminded him, "Mr. Maxwell, this is Aldenvine."Her expression was calm. She had cried a little when she was visiting Jeff's grave. Her eyes and nose were slightly reddened. Her eyes were also moist from the crying.She was like a cute little bunny.But Wayne knew full well that the woman standing before him wasn't a harmless little bunny. She was the S-ranked assassin, Septem. Before he arrived in Arlandia, he had already looked through all the intel regarding Olivia. Although she was an assassin, she never killed innocent people. All the missions she took were of targets who were completely evil—bullies that preyed on the weak. Olivia still had kindness in her heart. Or else, she could've killed him at any time while she was with him.Wayne smelled Olivia's scent. "Why are you afraid, Ms. Fordham? I was just saying hello."Then, he took a couple of steps back. "Let's go. I'll escort Ms. F
"Sure thing, Mr. Maxwell."Ike shot a glance at Olivia with a complicated expression.Wayne let go of Olivia. "If you please, Dr. Ophelia."Olivia looked at the bodyguarding surrounding them. She had no chance of escaping. Wayne didn't give her an option. She was forced into the car. He also got in and sat beside her. Seeing her nervous expression, Wayne chuckled. "What? Are you afraid of me?"Olivia leaned on the door as much as possible as she tried to distance herself from him. But the car was only so big, there was nowhere for her to hide.She only brought her keys up the hill because her pockets were small. Her phone was in her car. She didn't expect to meet Wayne, after all.Olivia reassured herself. She was Mason's granddaughter, so Wayne wouldn't dare to do anything to her while they were in Aldenvine.Even though that was what she thought, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She sat up straight and looked straight ahead."Of course that's not the case."
