Chapter 1627
Ethan might be an indifferent man, but he was a gentleman who never hurt women. Judging from how he broke his principles and kicked Jacqueline, it seemed like his patience had reached rock bottom. He didn't hold himself back during the kick.Jacqueline's back slammed against the wall so hard that it made a heavy thud and was accompanied by the shrill sound of the iron chains. From the wall, she rolled on the ground and coughed blood. Putting up with the pain, she slowly raised her head. Her pale lips looked more appalling due to the blood over them. She smirked, unbothered by the electrifying pain coursing through her system. "Did I say something wrong? I know what you did. I know everything. "Do you know what kind of people the Fordhams are? They're very protective of their family. Just with the things you've done alone, they'll never forgive you. Are you hoping for a remarriage? In your dreams!"You were a fool not to believe your wife and letting yourself fooled by outsiders
Chapter 1628
Olivia looked at Jacqueline with a disdainful smile. "Scared? I thought you didn't feel fear. I won't kill you, Jacqueline. I'll make you watch your hard-won prizes vanish from your sight. You should know how it feels like to be at your wit's end.""You can't do this to me, Olivia! This is torture! This is against humanity!""Humanity? Why should I treat you like a human?" Olivia yanked Jacqueline over by the wrist. Jacquline couldn't break free due to the chains, and she was barely breathing from Leia's torture before Olivia's arrival. All she could do was to watch Olivia inject the cold liquid into her arm. The syringe soon emptied. "I wanted to kill you even before I found out that you were my enemy." Olivia flung away Jacqueline's arm. Olivia pinched Jacqueline's chin. "I know you're smart. Family is not the thing you care about the most. Love is not it either. It's an abundance of wealth and power. You worked so hard just to escape from poverty, that poor place you were bo
Chapter 1629
Olivia recalled Willow's words about the spell on Jacqueline. Strangely enough, Jacqueline was all tied up. She couldn't do anything to manipulate the bugs."No. She's not a witch. It's because of the spell!" Olivia figured it out.Willow nodded in agreement. "Hurry! Tell those people to come inside"Jacqueline didn't pose that much threat, but the spell on her could work as a tracker. The witch could track down her whereabouts accurately. Those densely packed bugs surely weren't a good sign. The other party might intend to exterminate all of them. Once the guards were killed, the other party could take away Jacqueline easily. In the past, Olivia might have thought such tales were a myth and wondered how scary a bunch of bugs could be. However, her experience told her otherwise. The village where she and Willow once stayed was an isolated residence of the minority community that had remained hidden from the world for a thousand years. The villagers were most skilled in spell
Chapter 1630
Things became awkward. Now, Jacqueline felt as humiliated as she felt confident a while ago.Similar to Olivia, Deborah and Jacqueline had never gotten involved in the army, hence their fixed mindset to fight spells with spells. Little did they know, flamethrowers could put an end to those bugs. The whole process took less than a minute. It was so quick that Jacquline was left dumbfounded. She had personally witnessed how powerful those bugs could be. Yet, it didn't take long and much to exterminate them!Jacqueline became agitated. "I'll drag you to hell with me, Olivia!"Olivia was unbothered. "Enough. Your reinforcements have been completely annihilated. You'd better be honest with me, or I'll put you on the operating table."Feeling defeated, Jacqueline leaned against the wall. After a moment of contemplation, she slowly said, "Fine. There's not much I can tell you about Brandon. He's a mystery. He works with us simply to achieve his temporary objectives. "It was kinda funn

A shrill howl interrupted the conversation from outside.Olivia heard the bells ringing, and Willow ran outside.Some of the bodyguards suddenly sprawled onto the ground.Ethan scooped Willow into his arms. "Run!"She gestured, assuring him that she wasn't afraid of this. Then, she freed herself from his embrace.Leia didn't know much about spells. However, the fact that those people collapsed out of the blue surely had something to do with spells.In fact, those bugs were just a feint. Other cursed bugs were used while Olivia's party was distracted. Ethan was used to using military force in confrontation. However, their radar could only detect drones, not bugs. Some bugs were so tiny that they could enter a human body and end someone's life without them knowing.It might sound like a myth, but those who had experienced it before knew how scary cursed bugs could be. Willow hurriedly rushed to those who had fainted. They all showed similar symptoms—foam around their mouths, e
Chapter 1632
Despite her frail state, Jacqueline was over the moon at the thought that the person she hated the most was going to die. Ever since their lives were switched, peace could never settle between them. Only one out of two could survive.Jacqueline knew how heavy the consequences were considering what she had done. The worst case possible would be her dying a tragic death. Either way, it wouldn't make much difference. It would just be death.Even if she beat Olivia, she would have to deal with the Fordhams, the Heaths, and the Millers. There was nowhere else she could escape to. Everything was going as she had planned. She intentionally promised Olivia to confess everything to buy some time. Meanwhile, Olivia didn't dare to act recklessly. She focused intently.There were many types of spells, and different people could cultivate different species of poisonous bugs. Still, regardless of the species, the murder could be committed only if the bug touched human skin. As long as she cou
Chapter 1633
Olivia fainted so suddenly that Ethan couldn't register the situation yet. All he could do was to make assumptions. She had been the enemy's target since the beginning. Willow ran toward Olivia's side. The intense ringing bell gave away how anxious she was. Ethan darted to reach Olivia. He didn't know spells, so he didn't know what to do at this time. All he could do was stand right there. He tried to touch her with his hands, but he soon withdrew them."Willow, w-what happened to your mother?" His voice trembled in concern.A pale-faced Olivia lay on the floor as though she was sleeping.While Willow was still checking on Olivia, Jacqueline suddenly blurted from behind, "Stop wasting your time. Olivia's gonna be gone for good!"She could've just stayed silent. Now that she had spoken up, Ethan turned his head and glared at her. Before she could react, he grabbed her neck and pinned her against the wall. The iron chains rattled as the back of her head hit the wall.Her head bega

Leia grabbed Ethan's hand. "Calm down, Ethan. We don't know what's happening to Olivia. You have to keep Jacqueline alive."He gazed at Olivia, who was lying on the floor. He was so furious that his nerves were protruding at the back of his hand, which was holding the gun tightly. No one knew how much he wished he could shoot that crazy woman at this moment. Seeing his hand slowly drooping, Jacqueline knew that she had won the bet. Olivia was the key for her to escape from here. No one dared to hurt the beloved Olivia; everyone adored her. No matter how much Ethan resented Jacqueline, his best bet was to keep her alive.There was nothing he could do right now. All he could do was to watch Willow check on Olivia. Willow gestured, "Mom's safe for now.""Do you know if Jacqueline's telling the truth?" Ethan asked. Willow shook her head. "I can't find out what kind of curse it is just by looking at Mom. But I'm sure that she's safe for now."Still, concern sat upon her brows.
