Henry wasn't the only person that was angry. Ethan was fuming as well. Jack had already gotten away from his men for a week. He still hadn't received any updates. Ethan didn't harbor any ill will against Jack before he knew his true identity. But he had uncovered Jack's true identity in the past few days. Jack was Kurt's twin brother. He was born in very bad conditions and was at risk of dying at any moment. A psychic had told his family that he must be hidden from the public eye and needed to be kept at a church for protection.That was why the Stone family only ever made Kurt known to the public. Not even Ethan knew about Jack's existence. Kelvin sighed. "That's so crazy. The psychic said only one of the Stone family's twins would live. They thought the weak and fragile Jack would be the one who passed. But Kurt's the one who ended up dead."No wonder Kurt had all those mysterious visits to the church. We thought he went to pray, but he actually went to visit his brother. "
Henry stared into Ethan's eyes. "The island is yours. Your men were stationed there. How did they escape without you allowing them to?"Henry wasn't stupid. He sensed the change in Ethan's attitude toward Olivia long ago. "I knew I couldn't keep it from you." Ethan didn't try to keep it from Henry."I don't care about how you want to manage your relationship with your woman. But you shouldn't have meddled in my business." Henry stared at Ethan coldly. Seeing the tension rise between them, Bryan finally stepped in. "Alright. To be fair, you wouldn't have understood your feelings for Ms. Hilton if you hadn't been separated. You can't pin this on Ethan. They couldn't have taken her if she didn't want to leave. "So, instead of blaming your friend, why don't you two think about why they wanted to leave?"Henry sat down dejectedly. "Why? I gave her so much money. Isn't she in love with money? Why did she still leave me?""Are you dumb or just pretending? If a woman could be bou
"Mr. Miller, you've been busy with work these days. You're even losing your sleep and appetite over Mrs. Miller. Your injuries haven't completely healed yet. What will we do if you collapse?" Brent said. Ever since Ethan's identity was exposed in the dark web, Miller Group had also taken a hit.The company had a lot of subsidiaries. Recently, a lot of them, such as the real estate arm and the F&B arm, experienced some trouble. Some people were manipulating things from the shadows. They were from all sorts of shadowy organizations. When running a business, the scariest threats came from the ones hiding in the dark. Even Bryan had received word of what was happening. "If this goes on, your losses will be overwhelming. What's your next move?""You know me. It's going to be an eye for an eye. I'll make them pay a hundred times over."Ethan sneered. "He knows I have the dirt on those people. He'll only lose if this goes on. That's why he got desperate and tried to make a move on
It was like Jack knew what she was about to ask. "Ask away.""We've only known each other for a short time. I know you helped me investigate someone because of Martha and the others, but what about the things you helped me with afterward? "You helped me out behind the scenes and raised my children for me. Even when I asked you to help me escape, you helped out to the best of your abilities without any complaints."We're not family, but you risked your life to do all these things for me. There has to be a reason why you're doing all this, right?A dagger appeared in Jack's hand out of nowhere. This was the first time Olivia had seen his weapon. It looked like it was extremely sharp. At that moment, Jack seemed mysterious with a hint of viciousness. "Why don't you guess why I'm doing this?" Jack's voice was low and sounded especially eerie in the dark. It sent a chill down Olivia's spine. "I don't know. All I know is that no one does anything for no reason. I know that the
Olivia looked at the starry night sky and thought about the dream she just had. The baby's cries from the dream were still ringing in her ears. Was it because the baby had sensed what she wanted to do?"I don't know.""Olivia, you can't keep this baby." Colin heard them talking and came out to sit down beside Olivia."You underwent chemotherapy before, and the side effects will persist for some time. There are no guarantees that the baby won't be affected by these side effects. "Besides, you'll be taking my drugs for the coming months. Even if the baby survives, the chances of it ending up deformed are very high."Olivia did some calculations. She stayed in the city for seven months after the final chemotherapy session before leaving. Then, she spent two months at sea. She rested on the island for over a month after the pirates attacked. The baby was conceived around two more weeks after that. It had been almost a year since she underwent chemotherapy. Maybe the baby was sa
Olivia hadn't gotten a medical examination since she underwent chemotherapy a year ago. Her condition had been stable for the past year. The side effects were slowly dissipating. Her stomach hadn't acted up since. She felt like the tumor must have shrunk.Even so, she still felt uneasy before the results were out. If her body was in bad condition, she would have an excuse to have an abortion. As a mother, her first instinct was to keep her child safe. It didn't matter if she liked the baby or not. It was alive, and she didn't want to abandon it. Colin came out with the results as she was battling with conflicting thoughts. "How is it, Colin?"Colin had a grave expression on his face. "It's not good, Olivia. You have to get an abortion as soon as possible." Olivia took a step back when she saw the size of the tumor on the report. She couldn't see or touch the tumor, but it had been torturing her with the side effects of the chemotherapy. Recently, she hadn't felt any disco
Colin immediately snuffed out the cigarette he was holding. He had a panicked expression on his face. After all, he had always maintained a goody-two-shoes image before Olivia.Even though she already knew that he was a member of Toxic Hive and there were no good people in that organization, he was good at concealing his true personality. "Olivia, did you hear anything?"Olivia clutched her stomach and said, "I have a stomach ache. Where's the toilet? What were you two talking about?"She looked calm, so she probably didn't hear anything they said. Colin sighed in relief. "Does it hurt a lot? Do you need to get another examination?""It's okay. We did an ultrasound just now. It should be fine. I'll head to the toilet first.""Alright, Olivia. I'll help you to the toilet."Colin kept up the act of a polite young man despite already looking like an adult with no signs of adolescence. He always acted like a harmless little lamb before Olivia. Olivia went to the toilet and clos
Three months had gone by. Ethan had tried countless ways to find Olivia but to no avail. He even tried to locate her by tracking Joel. He had thought Olivia would contact the Golden Medical Institute to further her studies because of Rufus. That way, he would be able to know where she was and how she was doing, even if he couldn't see her on a daily basis. He didn't want things to be the way they were. He didn't have any news on her whereabouts. Ethan was smoking non-stop in his room. Henry was downing glass after glass of alcohol. The atmosphere was incredibly stress-inducing. It took Henry three whole months to understand his feelings toward Everly. She wasn't a plaything to her. But even if he understood that, Everly was still nowhere to be found. Even if he wanted to threaten her with her family, he couldn't even get in contact with her. He had no way of getting to her, and that made him feel helpless. Ethan was missing Olivia. Although she was safer away from him, he
