"Liv." Everly rubbed her eyes. She kept seeing things these days.By the time she got herself together, Olivia's silhouette had vanished from her sight.Everly deemed it a mere delusion.Helplessly, she shook her head and joined the crowd with the umbrella. A piece of paper fell off the ribs of the umbrella. She grabbed it.The familiar handwriting read, "Take care".It was a simple blessing. Judging from the messy handwriting, she could tell it was written in a rush.Everly covered her face with the umbrella. A grin appeared on her tear-stricken face.She thought, "Olivia is still alive. She's using her way to ensure that she's still alive."She was clever enough to know that Olivia wasn't in a situation to contact her. That was why Olivia told her that she was still alive via this method. Now that she was aware that Olivia was safe and sound, a wave of relief washed over Everly. She held the paper tightly as if it were a treasure, fearing that she might lose it.Now

Colin covered Olivia's phone screen. "Olivia, I know that you're anxious and wish to ask Clara about everything."He saw through her intention. She nodded. "Yes, Colin. Leia's death caused me to suffer for the past two years."I know that it's difficult for Ethan and I to get along well like we did in the past. "But I've been doing my best to find evidence so that I can prove him wrong, that my father is not that kind of person."Olivia clenched his sleeve. "I barely found the hope to continue living. I …"Colin asked seriously, "Olivia, have you ever thought that this could be another trap to lure you out?"Your hints led Ethan to reinvestigate his sister's death. The mastermind's carefully devised plan is disrupted."She's reusing her pawns one by one. Why did Clara make such a huge ruckus by resigning from her position?"She answered, "She's waiting for me to show up.""That's right.""The fact that you've survived has disrupted her plan. Your only weakness is Mr. Fordham, and I've

Brent continued, "In the beginning, those women did perform well in their studies. "They received sponsorship from Mr. Fordham and furthered their studies in big cities. Some of them are diligent in pursuing higher education, too."The majority of them were dazzled by the temptation in the cities, thinking that women should rely on men."Some of them began to neglect their studies and get involved with married or rich men. Some of them even took the ride that comes every Friday specifically for college girls. "The good ones had become housewives after graduation while the bad ones lead an indecent life until today."It pained Mr. Fordham to watch them live such a life. He tried to talk them out of it multiple times."Yet, they betrayed him by framing him for having distorted ideas on them. I captured a few of them and scared them into spilling the truth."Some of the good ones were paid to spread bad rumors about Mr. Fordham, too."As for the mentally ill people, they were either sen

Ignoring Kelvin, Ethan opened the box right away.There was information about Belle and some other individuals. Ethan could remember who Belle was. Previously, Olivia sneaked into his study to read Belle's personal information.He was also aware that someone had jumped off the building on the day Olivia visited the psychiatric hospital.Olivia had organized the documents that included the fact that Belle had a child.He flipped to the end of the document. His expression darkened at the address. "Look into this address. We might be able to find something.""Yes, sir.""And capture Clara Foster. Get something out of her."Ethan was still frustrated by the fact that the mastermind spent a few years inserting a few spies in the Miller Group. When he began to look into the matter strictly, even Stephanie, who was in charge of cleaning his office, was nowhere to be found!The other party had made full preparations before coming to the Miller Group. They were prepared for the

Kelvin stood by Ethan's side. The latter was sweating buckets, and his expression was menacing.Last night, he was able to sleep with the help of a sleeping pill. He was sleep-talking the whole night."Mr. Miller, did you have a nightmare?" asked Kelvin."I have a bad feeling." Ethan's voice was hoarse because he had just woken up."It must be because too many things are happening recently—"Ethan coldly interrupted Kelvin. "Implement a strict inspection at all of the entrances. I'm afraid Liv will leave Aldenvine.""Leave? But Mr. Fordham is still missing. He's the only person Mrs. Miller cares for. "Why would she leave at this moment?""There were four parties trying to take Jeff away that day. Do you think that her men could be one of them?""I don't think that's highly possible. She doesn't have the connections to hire mercenaries. "You weren't there, so you didn't see how cruel they killed people off."Frowning, Ethan rested against the headboard. His expression was

Everly lost her smile the moment Olivia's name was brought up. "Your imagination sure is wild, Mr. Miller. Why not become a scriptwriter?"Ethan said, "I heard that you ate two plates of lasagna and a regular pizza for dinner last night.""Can't I have a feast to get the energy I need to work overtime?""Before this, you were living like a lifeless zombie. You couldn't even finish half of your meals. Oh, you bought a new dress yesterday, too."She wanted to rebut, but he kept staring at her as though he had seen through her. Ethan prompted, "Tell me. Where did you meet Liv?"He was not testing Everly. His tone expressed certainty.She slammed the table and rose from her seat in a fit of fury. "Are you crazy? Why do you take note of what I eat every day so clearly?"Are you going to take note of when my period is or when I have constipation too?"He sighed, and she was taken aback by that. She thought, "This man actually sighed!""Everly, you know everything that happened

Ethan, who was reaching for the door, looked back at Chloe immediately. "Ms. Parker, what did you say?"She raised the teddy phone watch, crying. "I gave this to Liv the night before your engagement."When she was little, I promised her that I would buy her the latest watch. But I left that same year. I gave her this to make up for it."She held the phone watch to her chest. "Liv must've been here. "She doesn't want this phone watch, and she doesn't want me either. It's my fault. It's all my fault."Ethan ran out of the room.The huge hospital was full of people, but there was no sign of the person he missed."Liv!" He shouted Olivia's name, but no one answered.Brent approached him. "Mr. Miller, I've looked into it. It's the hospital's janitor who left the watch."Someone paid her to do that. Mrs. Miller didn't come."His heart sank to the pit of his stomach. Olivia didn't even visit her seriously ill mother. It was obvious that she was going to cut ties with Chloe.If

Colin quickly crouched down to pick the ball up, but someone was one step ahead of him.The stranger picked it up and played with it. "It's pretty." The stranger had a gentle voice.Colin sized the stranger up. The latter had beautiful eyes. Although he was wearing a custom black and white suit, the aura he gave off was different from Ethan's.Ethan appeared intimidating, while the stranger appeared gentle.The stranger's gaze alone was gentle enough to remind others of spring.He was one of Ethan's best friends—Bryan Moore. He was known to be a herbal maniac.They were standing close so Colin could smell the herbal smell from Bryan.Colin smiled warmly. "It's handmade, so it's different from machine-made products. Thank you, sir."Bryan handed the ball to Colin. "I guess this must be important to you. You went for this ball instead of the car keys first.""It is. An important friend of mine gave it to me. I'll be off first, sir." Colin picked the car keys up and turned si
