Yale knelt. "I won't change my mind, Dad. Whatever that has to do with your family doesn't concern me. And I'll return everything that belongs to you.""Fool! You think your grandfather will let you live? You're jumping sides while knowing so many of our family secrets!"Yale chuckled meaningfully. "I don't intend to fight with the Kingston family. I just want to protect the woman I love forever. If you and Grandpa want me dead, I'll have no choice but to expose some of your secrets. "Don't forget that I managed the household for many years. I know where the family's biggest vulnerability is."Gordon beat Yale up to let his steam off. When he was done, he spat at Yale. "You're exactly the same as your mother, useless!"Olivia hurriedly hid behind a plant. The furious Gordon didn't notice her.Once Gordon left, Yale fished out a cigarette and a lighter with quivering hands.As a result of his dislocated arm, the lighter dropped to the ground next to Olivia's foot.She crouched
Chapter 1448
Unlike the Kingston residence, the Heath residence was filled with a lively ambiance. By the time Olivia returned home, the maids were cleaning the lawn.They greeted her warmly when they saw her, "You're back, Ms. Olivia."Tatiana had restructured the household management after Lisa's departure. The maids left were kind.It was such a rare occasion for the Heath residence to be so full of life. Mason had told the maids to clean up every nook and cranny of the house, ready to welcome the new year.Molly called Olivia. The look of dilemma on Molly's face had Olivia asking, "Aunt Molly, what's wrong?"A few tailored gowns varied in colors and designs were hung on the wall. Olivia assumed that Molly was having a hard time choosing one of them. "Having a hard time picking one? Actually, you're lean, so this silver and white—""That's not it." Molly held Olivia's hand, frowning. "I don't want to attend tomorrow's party.""Why not? You should know that we'll be announcing you as o
Chapter 1449
It took a while before Olivia managed to comfort Molly.Olivia headed to the study, which was unusually lively. Mason stood in his glasses while Connor sat in his place, his hand holding a paintbrush.The mischievous Zack was holding a paintbrush like a painter as well. How was he able to hold his energy back to sit down and paint?Olivia came closer to take a closer look at the weird creature on the painting. The upper body was drawn into a turtle, which was connected to a bee. "Mom, how's my turbee? Pretty?"She burst into a chuckle. "It is pretty. You sure have a wild imagination.""You're being too generous with your compliments, Mom. I can draw a book of such drawings," Alicia roasted without lifting her head.Olivia's eyes followed Alicia, who had painted a breathtaking scenery. It was on a completely whole new level compared to Zack's.Unwilling to admit his shortcomings, Zack retorted back at Alicia. Olivia was so used to their little disputes.Meanwhile, Willow was t

Olivia didn't beat about the bush. "Grandpa, what are you going to do with Aunt Molly and Yale?"Mason gave her a fleeting glance. "Did you come as the middleman?""I'm a woman, and I've gone through a lot. Yale has indeed been involved in many awful deeds, but he did all those for Aunt Molly. Her body is weak to begin with. If they break up, I'm afraid…"Grabbing a paintbrush, Mason continued painting. "Do you know what I told the two men that night?""I can't read your mind.""I have two conditions for Yale. First, it's to cut ties with the Kingston family.""He has fulfilled that."A meaningful smile appeared across his lips. "How naive. To cut ties for real is easier said than done. Other than the blood running in their veins, it takes many other factors into account. Even if he wants to leave them for good, they won't grant his wish.""What's the second condition, then?" If the first was that difficult, the second one should be definitely on another level."Molly can marr

Olivia opposed Mason's suggestion without a second thought. "Grandpa, if I was interested in him, I wouldn't have run away from him. I don't plan on getting married again.""Fine." His eyes lost their glint to disappointment, but he didn't force her. "Alright, I won't force you. I just hope you can be happy every day. Don't forget about the party tomorrow. Do you like the gown?""Yes, it's pretty. I have a request about this, Grandpa. I don't wish for the kids to join.""You have a point. We have to protect the kids.""Grandpa, I don't know if that person would choose to make a move tomorrow or not. She hates me with her guts. She'll never miss the chance to kill me."Mason put his paintbrush down. "Don't you worry, child. Her appearance is exactly what I'm asking for. If she has the nerve to come, I'll make sure she won't be able to return in one piece. I've told Linus to tighten the security."She sighed. "It's highly possible that she's related to my real family. Grandpa, do y

Unlike Olivia, Molly wasn't in a good mood.Molly ran to Olivia. "Olivia, Yale didn't return last night. I don't feel good about this."Olivia knew exactly why Yale didn't return home. He didn't want to worry Molly with his appearance after getting beaten up by Gordon."New Year's coming soon. It's not just Yale; Ethan is busy too. Don't worry, Aunt Molly. Look at Uncle Linus. He works overtime every day, doesn't he?""But—""No buts. What you have to do now is get a good rest and get some skincare glow-up. Someone will come over at noon for your hairdo. You're the main character today. You should be all dolled up."Molly was older than Olivia by a few years, but she appeared like the younger one in front of Olivia. Olivia had to comfort her like the elder one."The guests are prominent figures. How could we let them see a haggard Ms. Heath? Before this, Krystal always looked at others with her nose up high, so you have to show them what you got. From today onward, you'll be Ms.
Chapter 1453
Compared to Molly's awkwardness, Olivia appeared rather relaxed.There were some familiar faces among the well-dressed guests. They were Jeff's old friends.The moment they saw Olivia, they were a tad puzzled. Although it had been years since they last met, they could recognize her at one glance."Olivia?" One of them approached her.Olivia had a deep impression of Tyrell Monroe. He had set up the Fordham family before.Jeff had invited Tyrell to his home for project discussions many times before, and they called themselves close friends.When the Fordham family was announced bankrupt, Olivia needed money to pay Jeff's hospital bills. The helpless Olivia reached out to Jeff's acquaintances one by one to borrow money.Forget about borrowing money, all of them rejected Olivia because they didn't have the nerve to offend the Miller family.Jeff's closest friend was Tyrell, so Olivia went to Tyrell's place with confidence, only to be shunned.Left with no choice, she knelt by the
Chapter 1454
Back then, the Fordham family was quite well-known in Aldenvine. Many pitied them when they suddenly announced bankruptcy.After that, Olivia disappeared as well. If no one brought the family up, everyone might've soon forgotten about the Fordhams.That family was the water cooler talk for a long while. It was a mystery how Jeff offended Ethan, leading to the Fordhams' downfall. It was a heart-wrenching story.People wouldn't bring this up on this occasion since they had to maintain their pride.However, Olivia's remarks had raised Tyrell's hackles. As someone who had retired from a high position, he was held with high regard everywhere he went. Now that Olivia had embarrassed him, he wished he could do something to regain his pride again.Considering how Jeff was someone beneath his station in the past, he perceived Olivia as a mere small fry.He simply assumed that she was all puffed up because of his initiative to approach her.The higher one climbed the ladder, the lower
