Chapter 558
The next morning, Olivia entered Jeff's room one last time. She stared at the bedridden man, who was skin and bone.His muscles had shrunken, and his face was haggard.The pungent smell of medicine lingered in the air.Olivia didn't have the courage to enter the room before this.She was aware that the day she made up her mind would be the day she bid farewell.Thick layers of snow filled the yard after a snowy night.Olivia drew the thick curtains to open the window, letting the sunlight and wind in."Dad, I bet it's been a long time since you last got some fresh air outside. It's winter again. It's snowing."Although Olivia's right hand wasn't as sensitive as her left hand, she could make simple movements with it.She scooped the snow and began molding it into a snow rabbit."I remember you'd always have snow fights and build a snowman with me in the yard whenever it snowed. Your craftsmanship is always on point. "I once said that when you're old, I will push you in a whe

Marina, who was sitting in a wheelchair, watched Ethan hold an umbrella for Olivia from afar. He was standing while Olivia was kneeling. They somehow looked like a match made in heaven standing before the snowy background.Marina had asked him about Jeff's whereabouts many times, but he didn't tell her anything.It was only this morning that she received news about Jeff's death.She couldn't even see Jeff in his last moments or send him off for the one last time. She thought that Jeff didn't know that her biological daughter was her until his last day.Ethan was cruel, but he told her that this was her karma.But Marina didn't know what she did wrong.She was kept in the dark for so many years. In the end, she killed her parents with her bare hands. It pricked her guilty conscience day and night.During those days when she first returned to the country, she thought she was the happiest person in the world. She had a harmonious family, a loving mother, and a protective Etha

Olivia stopped in her tracks to turn to look at Marina after hearing her despairing voice.Marina didn't care about the housekeeper, who was trying to help her up. She was so stubborn that she wanted to crawl toward Ethan.Her helpless and pitiful state reminded Olivia of her past. Olivia had once pleaded with Ethan not to divorce her.She now realized how pitiful she seemed at that time."Are you going to let her be?" Olivia crossed her arms, assuming that Ethan ignored Marina because he was considering her emotions. "You don't have to mind me. It doesn't bother me."Ethan was hurt to hear that. He held Olivia's hand. "Liv, I have never loved Marina. I said I was going to marry her because I wanted to repay a favor."She sneered. "And that repayment requires you to have sex with her? Interesting.""Liv, Connor's actually—" When he was going to blurt that out, he closed his eyes only to recall the night he rescued Olivia from the sea. She almost died at that time, and it bro

Volt Peak Mountain was also called the Isle of Hell. It was formed with five islands.Like a waste disposal center, it accepted prisoners who were on death row, slaves …It was more like a demon-nurturing vessel and a colosseum. To survive there, one had to run and fight nonstop.It was a compulsory stage of experience for every special agent in the world.According to the rules, the first-round candidates would be sent to the four surrounding islands randomly. There, they would start their wildlife survival game.Ninety percent of the candidates would be eliminated within three months. The remaining candidates would be sent to the main island, where the top three candidates would battle their way out of it.After passing the test, those three people would be sold off at a high price.They could become a senior security guard at the national defense, a special agent of a secret organization, or a skillful assassin in a mercenary organization.Olivia knew that most of the winnin

Only then did Brent understand Ethan's intention. Ethan had never wanted to send Olivia to the training from the start. He simply needed a chance to inject the drug into her.Still, there was a voice inside Brent telling him that it was inappropriate to do that."But Mr. Miller, even if Mrs. Miller's past is full of painful memories, she has the right to decide whether she wants to forget it or not. "If you inject the drug into her without her consent, what if she recovers her memories? Will she forgive you?""Do you think that I haven't considered that? Forget about how difficult it was for her to come this far. Revenge is the only thing on her mind. "She became unusually sensitive. She can't have a good night's sleep every night. The ruffling grass alone is enough to wake her up. "Whenever she falls asleep, nightmares plague her. Plus, there's a huge wall between Olivia and me. I have no other choice."He lifted his silver wedding ring, which reflected the sunlight shinin

Mischievous laughter could be heard. Calmly, Olivia scanned the area.There were a total of 11 people in the room—nine men and two women.Aside from Olivia, a woman was shrinking herself at a corner.Since they were prisoners on death row, they must be malicious people.Olivia knew that Ethan would definitely have a backup plan for this. One of the people here worked for him.She sat down at an empty corner, and the first man to speak to her before this approached her.He stank, probably because it had been a while since he last showered.The tall man placed his hand against the wall next to her ear. Frowning, she questioned, "Anything I can help you with?""No matter how you came here, you have to listen to me from now on. You have to do everything I say. Got it?"Olivia raised her gaze on him. "What do you want me to do?"He grinned lecherously, revealing his yellow teeth. "There are only men here. Now that we have a female joining us, what do you think we're going to do?
Chapter 564
The remaining time passed without trouble. Olivia stayed in the corner all the while, resting her back against the wall.Milton and his gang kept casting a vengeful gaze at her sometimes.She knew that they were biding their time for a chance.When they were sent to the island, the killing started.Thanks to the special training, Olivia was able to be one of the top candidates with flying colors.The two men who kept sleeping in a corner were twins. They wanted to form an ally with Olivia, but she turned them down.She was a lone wolf.She had been observing the other woman named June Redmont. Everyone kept a safe distance from her. Not even Milton dared to mess with her.She had a dark aura looming over her, giving off a snake-like character to Olivia.Like a poisonous snake, June loved to stay in a dark corner.She wouldn't mess with others. But when someone provoked her, she would counter without holding herself back.Olivia attempted to get close to June, but the latter

Ethan's expression was indifferent. He was willing to grant Olivia freedom, but only if the freedom was within the boundaries of his control. The danger on the island was out of his control. A single accident could cause him to regret "Yes, Mr. Miller. I'll get her disqualified now." A few minutes later, Joseph came running over anxiously. "Bad news, Mr. Miller. The tracker on Mrs. Miller has been disabled." Ethan threw away the cigarette between his fingers and looked at him abruptly. "What did you say?""I checked a while ago, and it was fine. It didn't lose its signal. It just disappeared. That tracker was made with sturdy materials. It's hard to break unless Mrs. Miller disabled it herself." Ethan furrowed his brows. It was clear that Olivia did it intentionally. She probably guessed that Ethan would get her disqualified this round. She had already made up her mind to join the Black Ravens. So, she acted before Ethan could make his move. Ethan knew he shouldn't h
