Chapter 866
The mercenaries took everything of value on the ship and left. Olivia had been moved in her sleep shortly before daybreak. Ethan freshened himself up and opened the door. The fresh sea breeze brushed against his face, lifting his spirits. Apart from the floor they were on, everywhere else was in a mess. Most of the people had left the ship. Only his men remained. More than a hundred thugs were tied up and left crouching on the ground. Brent released Flora, who then rushed downstairs. Everything was a mess—the restaurant, ballroom, luxury stores, and entertainment facilities. Flora fell to her knees and wept. "It's destroyed. Everything's ruined."She staggered to the bar. She used to enjoy sitting here and mixing some drinks for herself. She enjoyed looking down at the others from a high place.All of the expensive alcohol had been taken. The cheap ones were smashed on the floor. She slowly walked over, kneeled down, and picked up half a bottle of wine. She held the bro

Olivia woke up groggily after sleeping for a long while. Her entire body felt sore before she even opened her eyes. She felt a cool sensation on her lower body. She lifted her blanket to see that she had been changed into soft and comfortable pajamas. The sheets smelled nice. Logan was considerate enough to bathe her. He even applied some ointment on her nether regions, so there wasn't any swelling. She blushed when she thought about what happened. How was she going to face Logan ever again? Logan was not around. Looking around, she noticed that she wasn't in her room. There was no rocking feeling anymore. She was on land. How did she get on land after a night of sleep? She felt uneasy as she scanned the unfamiliar environment. Where was her child? Olivia got off the bed quickly without paying any attention to her weak and tired body. She fell to the floor immediately. Luckily, a thick fur carpet was on the floor, so she didn't hurt herself. Hearing the sound in the r

Joshua's explanation sounded bulletproof at first, but Olivia had her suspicions. The amount required was over 300 million dollars, not three thousand or 30 thousand. Besides, no one knew how high the bid was going to get. The money Keith had to lend would be more than 300 million dollars. Keith's family was well-off, but he came from a family of doctors. Did they even have several hundred million in cash? She was just a friend, not his lover. Also, how did he get in contact with the mercenaries? It wasn't out of the realm of possibility for Keith, but it didn't seem like something he would do. But who would help her out other than Keith? It couldn't be Ethan, could it? Olivia shook her head when she thought about him. He was still in Vuckburg. He couldn't get there in time even if he wanted to. If it were indeed Ethan, he would've taken her away. He wouldn't allow her and her child to roam free."Yes. It was a very close call. Logan and I tried all sorts of ways to gath

Keith sighed. "Alright, I give up. I'll send you my account number in a bit. Take care of yourself.""Will do. Keith, thanks for your help in the past year," Olivia said sincerely. If not for him, she wouldn't be able to get to where she was. She also wouldn't have been reunited with her daughter. Compared to the life filled with despair that she previously led, she was already in a much better place. Keith was at a loss for words. He didn't know how to explain his situation. 'You don't have to thank me. I didn't do much. Anyway, stay safe out there."Keith's palms were covered in sweat when he hung up.Irene leaned over and asked, "How was it? Did Olivia get suspicious?""I don't think so. After all, she probably doesn't know who else could've helped her other than me."Irene sighed in resignation. "I feel bad about lying to Olivia. She'll be so sad if she finds out we lied to her. That damned Ethan. How did he find out Olivia was still alive? "Thinking about it sends shi

Kelvin's smile faded. "Mr. Miller, are you saying he might come after you?""He would've guessed my identity because of Liv. Do you really think he wouldn't do anything after I caused him such great losses? He'll definitely try to hit me where it hurts.""Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller is your Achilles heel. He'll try to hurt her."Ethan had a troubled expression on his face. "Back then, I married her in secret because I was afraid my identity would be exposed and it'd bring trouble to her doorstep. "In the end, her identity was still exposed. Those people even hold some power over her. Other than the enemies she already has, my identity will bring her the most danger.""What should we do, Mr. Miller?"Ethan stood at the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back. His eyes were filled with determination as he listened to the waves crashing against the reefs. "If Liv is my weakness, it would mean I'm still too weak. That's why those people could threaten me with her safety. I ne

On the top floor of the Imperial Strait Building, a man was smashing the entire tea set before him. His assistant stood before him and reported fearfully, "The estimated losses from this incident is at 18.7 billion dollars." The cost of acquiring the cruise ship and its furnishings was over five billion dollars. The assets on the ship, including weapons, medical equipment, goods, and antiques, were worth nearly 20 billion dollars. "Other than the monetary losses, we also lost our customers.""Where's Flora?""We didn't find her body on the ship. She must've been taken. Many of your customers are asking for compensation. The total amount is also in the billions. What should we do, Boss?"The man was furious. "Ignore them.""But won't we incur the wrath of the masses if we don't compensate them?""Do you think they would board one of our ships again even if we paid them?" The assistant fell silent for a bit before saying, "No, they won't.""Most of the people who board the

The bodyguard rushed toward Everly and was able to grab her hand in time. "Ms. Hilton, please don't do this. We won't be able to answer to Mr. Synder if you die.""Fuck off. I don't care about that. I'll never be his match when I'm alive. I'll definitely haunt him and all of you after I die."Everly's voice was very loud. It didn't sound like she was a dying person at all. "I'm even wearing pure white clothes. I'll turn into the scariest ghost there is. Boy, you better not wake up at night, or I'll scare you to death."The bodyguard was rendered speechless. "It was supposed to be a serious situation, but he almost burst out in laughter. Why was Everly so funny even when she was trying to die? "Laugh if you want to. You don't have to hold it in.""Stop joking, Ms. Hilton. I will not let you die.""Young man, do you know what's one thing you can never control?""Death?"Everly said with a composed expression, "No. Stocks.""Ms. Hilton, that's not a very funny joke.""Wha

Everly glared at the bodyguard. "Do you think I'm an idiot? Why would you think I need you to recount everything she said?"The bodyguard complained inwardly. It was so troublesome trying to communicate with Everly. Olivia noticed something was off. "Eve, where are you? Who are you talking to?"Everly didn't know how Olivia came back to life. But since she was still alive, Everly decided that life was worth living again.At least she didn't want Olivia to worry about her."It's nothing. I was just talking to my new bodyguard. "Liv, you may not know yet, but I've been living the high life since you were gone. I bring eight bodyguards wherever I go. "All of them are very well-built." "I'm glad to hear that. I'd hate it if your life were miserable.""Of course. Life is good. I'm staying at a villa and driving around in expensive cars. I finally got a taste of the life of a rich person."Although Everly was talking with a smile, Olivia could still sense it."Are you crying?"
