Chapter 1396
"Pardon me, I do not get what you're trying to say, Mr. Maxwell.""You don't have to play dumb. It doesn't suit you. My demand is simple, if you tend to my injuries, then all of that is just a joke. Or else…"He would claim that it was an act of terrorism. Then, things would get blown out of proportion.Olivia slowly walked toward Ethan. "Let me do it, Ethan.""Liv…"Ethan knew what Wayne was after. He didn't want Olivia to go through with it. She wouldn't have to care about all this if she didn't accept the Heaths as her family. But she was part of the family. So, she couldn't stand by and do nothing. Linus personally flew all the way to Raka to save her. It was time for her to do something for the family. It was just tending to Wayne's injuries. It wasn't anything much.She patted his hand. "I'll be done with it very quickly."Wayne was nothing more than a regular patient to her.Ethan frowned as he could only watch helplessly as she walked toward another man.She was

Wayne's request was shocking but not unexpected. After all, the assassination was a major issue. For a person as vengeful as Wayne, it would have been impossible for him to let someone who tried to kill him go. But he did exactly that and didn't even get his people to investigate the incident. The only reason for this irregular reaction had to be because of Olivia's words.The two of them were basically strangers to each other. Mason couldn't think of any reason why Wayne would make such a proposal other than the fact that he liked Olivia. So, when Wayne said what he said, Mason wasn't all that surprised. He replied calmly, "I have a daughter and a granddaughter. Which one of them do you want to marry?"Yale was called over here, but he didn't think he would need to do anything. His resignation hadn't been approved by Mason yet. He didn't care about power as much as before. He was just doing his job.Mason's words got him worked up. He knew that there was something Mason hated

Wayne frowned. He didn't even have experience dating women, and he was trying to get married right away. It was only natural that he didn't know the complications of that. "If you think the conditions I provided weren't enough, feel free to make some requests. I'm willing to lower my bottom line for her."Olivia looked at his confused gaze. She smiled and shook her head. "The Heath family doesn't need to sell out its daughters for profit. A marriage shouldn't be treated as a transaction."Mr. Maxwell, if you have no idea what marriage is about, you should date a woman and find out. Marriage is not fun and games. "If you really want to form an alliance with Arlandia, why don't we set this marriage aside, and focus on the alliance? It would benefit the citizens of both countries."Wayne grunted. "If we're not going to proceed with the marriage, why would I want to do anything to make the people happy? If I'm not getting what I want, no one's going to get what they want."Olivia

Mason didn't talk about business while they were at the dining table. He finally got Wayne to shut up. Ethan felt a sense of danger. He had been rivals with Wayne for many years. He knew how stubborn Wayne could be. He knew Wayne wouldn't give up so easily. He was sure that Wayne had backup plans prepared. As expected, Wayne asked to talk to Mason in private. Mason had no reason to refuse. …Marina's legs started to improve three hours ago following a few days of rest. Although they would still hurt from time to time, it wasn't unbearable for her.

Chapter 1400
Marina saw a face that looked exactly like Kurt's. Even though she never saw Kurt's body, she knew Ethan wouldn't lie to her about that. Besides, if Kurt was alive, he wouldn't have stayed away from her for so many years. Back then, Kurt was like her lapdog. She never really cared about him. But she hated him after he took her virginity. She only had eyes for Ethan back then. She had the urge to get an abortion. When Kurt knew about that, he pleaded with her not to do it. He promised to take responsibility after his mission. When he left for the mission, Marina had just gotten pregnant. It wasn't the best time to get an abortion.She didn't expect him to die. Some nights, she would think about him. She would think about him when she looked at Erina, too.Seeing that face again, Marina couldn't just leave him to die, no matter who he actually was. She carried Jack into her car with great effort. Then, she drove toward the hiding place she had prepared in advance. She knew

If Kurt hadn't died, at least her daughter would still have a father. Perhaps things wouldn't have turned out like this.The doctor dressed Jack's wounds and exited the room. With an inquisitive look, he asked, "Miss, this man has a lot of scars on his body. Who is he?"Marina gave him a stack of cash. "Don't ask anything you shouldn't. This is your fee."The doctor's eyes lit up at the sight of so much money. He understood that Marina had to be someone important, and he should just take the money and shut up."Understood, miss. His condition is stable. He just needs to rest for a while.""Thanks."Marina called Tim over. "Send the doctor back."She went back to the bedroom. Jack was topless and lying in bed. She could see his bandaged arms while his torso was covered by a blanket. The lighting in the basement was bad, so she hadn't gotten a good look before. She finally had a chance to get a good look at Jack.He almost looked identical to Kurt. Marina couldn't tell the di

Marina looked at Jack's face. He looked exactly like Kurt, but his eyes scared her. "I'm not. I just…""Marina, you're disgusting. You forced Ethan to marry you while you were carrying Kurt's baby. And there's also all the despicable things you did to separate him from his wife."Jack struggled to get up and grabbed Marina's arm. "What are you doing?" Marina asked as she tried to break free."I want to bring you somewhere."Jack forced her into the car. Marina started to think that Jack was out of his mind. She was still on the run."Where are you taking me?"Jack fell silent and didn't speak another word to her. The car sped along the roads in the middle of the night until they arrived at a manor. There was a garden of black roses. The roses stood out in the white blanket of snow. "This is…""Kurt had planned to propose to you here. He wanted to give you and the baby a home. But he didn't get to live to see that day.Marina looked at the roses and thought about the one
Chapter 1403
Olivia wiped away her tears frantically as she repeated, "I'm so glad you're okay. I'm so glad you're okay."Jack was with her during the hardest times in her life. He knew that she was afraid of death. She had already become traumatized.The reason Jack helped Olivia so much in the beginning was because he found out that she was Ethan's wife. Her family was ruined because of Kurt's dying wish.He was just trying to atone for the pain caused by Kurt and nothing else. Then, they went through a lot of hardships together. Both of them lost all of their loved ones. So, they treated each other as family. That was why he gave up on trying to kill Wayne immediately when he saw that Olivia was also in the car. "Don't cry.
