Olivia felt a little helpless. Ethan's focus was entirely on her and Wayne. He didn't care about national pride or whatever ongoing conflict there was.The only thing going through his mind at that moment was Wayne and Olivia becoming a couple! "That's not the point, Ethan. Please help me, okay? I'll come back as soon as I get the ring. He won't know who I am."Ethan would have agreed to any other request when Olivia was pleading with him in such a soft tone. But Olivia's actions were a provocation to his pride. "That's impossible. I won't let you get into more danger. Wayne is one of the most dangerous people around. You have to come with me. You shouldn't be getting involved in this matter!"Olivia's tone grew cold. "Okay, you won't help me, will you? Since you can't help me with my work, there's no need for us to be together anymore…"Ethan smiled bitterly. "Liv, please don't threaten me with this.""Ethan, three years ago, you were sent to the emergency room and I was slap

Wayne was a very rough person. He carried Olivia all the way to the aircraft. Before she could scream, he threatened her coldly, "I'll throw you off the plane if you say another word."Olivia was rendered speechless. The plane took off. Olivia didn't know what had happened yet, but she knew that Ethan had pulled it off.Wayne was furious. He was like a barrel of gunpowder, ready to explode with the tiniest bit of spark. Olivia figured it was best for her to stay away from him for now because she didn't want to incur his wrath. She curled up into a ball and rested her chin on her knees. Then, she closed her eyes and tried to sleep. She was trying her best to become invisible. Wayne looked at Olivia, who was curled up. There were still some bruises and dirt on her skin. She looked worse for wear.Olivia felt a little chilly as the plane's air conditioner blew on her. Wayne took off his jacket and draped it on her. She felt much better after that. …When Olivia woke up,

Olivia had slapped Wayne twice in the span of a few days. He sat up and stared at her coldly. "Do you have a death wish, Ophelia?""You're the one looking at places you shouldn't be looking at!""You're the one wearing that dress!"Olivia was furious. She picked up one of his shirts and wore it. She covered herself up completely.Then, she smacked him on the head and said, "Lie down. I'll start the acupuncture treatment. I'll poke you to death if your eyes wander to places they shouldn't!""Why don't you give that a try? I'll kill you first!"The atmosphere became awkward. Neither of them spoke. Wayne suddenly came to his senses. What was he doing? This woman was already married with kids. Why would he be interested in a married woman?Olivia completed the treatment in silence. Wayne sat up with the support of one arm. He turned his neck slowly to make cracking sounds. "I used to have headaches every other day. I haven't had a headache since you started your treatment. You

Wayne gathered all the military experts for an urgent meeting. The meeting lasted for the entire day. No matter what calculations his think tank ran, there was only one result—defeat. They only had one option. That was to accept the ceasefire agreement and stop their assault on Dexim City. Otherwise, Arlandia and Veutron would join forces and invade Carathia. That was something Wayne didn't want to see. In the next few days, Wayne was so busy he didn't even return to the presidential palace. Olivia started to get anxious after waiting for a few days. The places she could go to were limited. She couldn't even get close to where Wayne worked. So, there was no way she was getting that ring.It was like Wayne had completely forgotten about her. She was left in the presidential palace with the maids taking care of her.Her mission wasn't progressing at all. She didn't want to sit around and wait. When she was climbing down from a pipe on the second floor, someone was alerted by

Wayne snapped his fingers in front of Olivia. "Snap out of it. What's on your mind?"Olivia returned to reality and found an excuse as she looked at Wayne. "I was just marveling at how prestigious your identity is.""You've found out?" Wayne inquired."I heard someone address you as the president. Your free access to Dexim City, your private jet, and this palace—I guessed as much quite some time ago," Olivia confessed. She'd be foolish to pretend any further.Seeing her composed expression, Wayne remarked, "If you know who I am, aren't you afraid of me? Others fear me to death.""I was scared at first. But if you really wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have waited till now. So, I'm not afraid. Besides, didn't you say you'd reward me once I've cured you?" Olivia reasoned.No wonder her attitude toward him had softened. It was all for money.Wayne huffed coldly. "So, you love money that much?""I doubt there's anyone in the world who doesn't like money. Besides, with this money, I
