Chapter 856
Following that was a whole new round of bidding. Flora's spur definitely stimulated the guests.The starting price of one million dollars soon increased by multiple folds. The figure increased faster than Usain Bolt.The huge screen was displaying Olivia. Her face was perfect no matter from which angle one looked.The high-resolution screen showed her forehead covered in beads of sweat. Her eyes were glazed over. The drugs were kicking in.Some of the men were willing to splurge money to have her without a care in the world.Dale wasn't one of the bidders. The bid went up to seven million dollars even before he raised his placard.The businessmen knew what they were doing. Once they were sick of Olivia, they could hand her over to someone else.A beauty like her could be sold around like hotcakes. It wouldn't be long before they could earn their capital back.Hence, the bids were raised higher and higher. It was going to exceed nine million dollars soon."Things are not look
Chapter 857
Flora glanced at the scene. "Is there any bidder who'd like to raise the bid?"Dale wanted to raise his placard, but the person next to him pressed his hand down. "Give it a serious thought, Mr. Dale! We can't afford 30 million dollars. He's filthy rich. We should give up on this. It's just a woman. If you want to have her, we can figure out something else.""Fine." Dale had no other choice despite his sense of competitiveness.A man's best asset was his own capability.Ethan remained in his position with his legs crossed and his chin resting on his palm. He sat like a boss.Flora wanted to turn him into a laughingstock, but she became one instead."30 million dollars, once. 30 million dollars, twice. 30 million dollars, thrice … The lot is knocked down at 30 million dollars!" she announced the result reluctantly.She didn't expect that man to be able to pay such a high price.Ethan stood up, looking at Flora as though he was looking at a clown. "Can I take her away now?"Kelv

Although it was embarrassing, Olivia couldn't be bothered about it anymore.She simply wanted to cover her face so that others couldn't see her.Her long dress cascaded downward, making her look like an injured mermaid.While carrying her, Ethan took big strides out of the area. Joshua followed behind while carrying Alicia."Get a doctor. Hurry.""Got it."Ethan wanted to have Olivia, but not in such a situation, hence the annoyance.Besides, he didn't know what kind of drugs Flora gave Olivia and whether they would take a toll on her health.The doctor checked on her while Ethan gave them space. He lit a cigarette in the corridor.A lot of helicopters appeared above the dark sea.Joshua's expression changed. "Mr. Miller, did you hire mercenary soldiers?"He thought that Ethan would call over the army with his official identity, yet Ethan hired mercenary soldiers instead!That way, if things went south, the higher-ups wouldn't have the right to look into the matter.Joshua

The sea breeze blew over, giving Joshua goosebumps on his back.In the past, his job was to simply carry out orders from Ethan. He didn't know the complex story behind this.Just what kind of fray was Ethan in?Other than having a dysfunctional family, he had to face multiple schemes in business."Mr. Miller, what should we do now?" inquired Joshua.Ethan's eyes were dark, and his voice was icy. "Tell Brent to not hold himself back. Make himself at home. Destroy anything that has to be destroyed. I want to tell them that it isn't easy to gain that 34 million dollars."He threw the cigarette butt into the sea. His expression behind the mask turned gloomier. "Since they've taken what's mine, they should pay back with interest."Joshua's eyes brightened at Ethan's brilliant idea.During the past few days, Ethan got to know the number of enemies on the ship. If he took action now, he would have the upper hand.Even if the enemy called for backup, it would take at least six hours

Olivia's face turned beet red after she blurted that. Had she not built up her willpower through chemotherapy, she would've already lost control of herself.Ethan stared at the embarrassed woman. Despite knowing that she was acting this way because of the drugs, he couldn't help his racing heartbeat."I'll face my back at you then. I won't look at you." He turned around, gazing out of the window.The night sea was somber without the touch of gleaming sunlight. He could hear the whirring sound of helicopters approaching.The real party was going to begin.Almost ten minutes later, the sound of a woman moaning suddenly resounded behind him.Ethan hurriedly turned around, only to see her red face. Aside from her hair and body, her eyes were watery too. The corners of her eyes were red.She was fatally sexy."Miss, are you … alright?"The groggy Olivia wanted to get up in the bathtub, but her weak limbs wouldn't listen to her head.She fell the second she stood up."Be careful
Chapter 861
Ethan hugged Olivia in silence. He had no intention of forcing her."Miss, now that things have come to this point, let's leave other matters aside. We can talk about them later. Now, we gotta solve your situation. I know you don't want to give yourself to others. But there's no other solution we can opt for."He took a breath before continuing, "I can guarantee you that I won't tell anyone about tonight. After today, nothing will change. Everything will be the same. If you don't like me, I can … ask others to replace me. Like Joshua or—"She covered his mouth, glaring at him. "If I have no other choice, I'd rather it be you."At least, they knew each other well.However, she didn't want to take it that far.Unlike her words, her body was following her instinct, grinding against his.Hugging the man's waist no longer satiated her need. The urge to proceed to the next step was killing her.Images of intertwining with Ethan on the bed flashed across Olivia's head. She wanted it

"Don't bite it. It hurts me to see you do that."An image converged in Olivia's mind. Back when she first dated Ethan, she hadn't had sex before.Thinking that it was embarrassing to moan, she bit her lip every time to stop herself from moaning.Until that one day, Ethan raised her chin from behind and said those words.She could still vividly remember how crazy that night was.Now, Olivia didn't know how enticing she looked right now. Her eyes were covered by the silver veil.He lifted her chin, forcing her to raise her head and reveal her neck.The messy dress drooped from her shoulders, exposing her fair arms and sexy collarbone. The glitter shimmered under the light.Slowly, Ethan bent over to kiss the lips he had been missing crazily all this time.Olivia's first reaction was to avoid his kiss. After all, he was conscious right now. How could he …She placed her hands against his chest, feeling the warmth seeping from his body before warming her palms.She wondered why
Chapter 863
The one who kicked the door open was none other than Joshua.The stiff character he usually displayed in front of Ethan and Olivia was no longer there.Joshua had even changed his mask to a Grim Reaper one. He appeared cool as the sea breeze caressed his skin."Bingo! I am coming after you."Flora barked, "Who are you? Do you know where you are right now? How dare you act this way on the ship!"In the meantime, she armed the alarm system. The enforcers charged over with their weapons first thing after hearing the alarm.She had yet to realize the solemnity of the situation. "Do you know what happened to the previous person who acted waywardly on the ship? He was dismembered and fed to the sharks."At this moment, the men on the helicopters slid down the ropes and landed on the deck. Each one of them was wearing bulletproof gear and holding a weapon. Their heavy boots stomped on the deck, unleashing an intimidating aura.The majority of Flora's enforcers had their hands staine
