Wayne dropped the bomb. Ethan could feel the swift change of emotion in Olivia as he squeezed her hand."Friend? I don't recall her having friends in Raka," Ethan replied calmly.She regained her composure. Even if Undecim was in Wayne's hands, betraying the organization was a big taboo in the line.Low-rank assassins might blurt out information under the pressure of threats, but Undecim was an S-rank. There was no way he wouldn't keep his lips tightly sealed.Well, she might've overestimated him, but he didn't know her true identity this whole time. She was cautious.They were partners twice for missions. Friends? They didn't come as close as that.Thus, how would Undecim know her relationship with Ethan?Olivia guessed that Wayne was playing a trick with her.In addition to Ophelia's MIA, Olivia's appearance alone was suspicious enough. As long as she boarded the plane, there was no second chance for Wayne to turn the table anymore.This was his last-ditch effort.As an

That remark brightened Alan up. "You're right! Linus said he had something to handle here, but what is there in Carathia that needs his involvement?"He's obviously here to back Ms. Fordham up! If she's really clean, why would she need such an influential figure to side with her? There's something up with her."Too bad we have nothing to prove that she's Septem. She won't verify her identity out of will." His brows creased.Wayne watched the plane penetrate high up the air, his eyes deep. "Even if we discover that she's Septem, do you think we can do anything to her?"It was undeniable that Olivia had stolen his ring, but he honestly thought that it wasn't a huge casualty—aside from the fact that she played with his feelings.The ring self-destructed, but it wasn't difficult to make a new one anyway.Furthermore, his migraine got better, thanks to her. The good he gained outnumbered the losses!Even if Wayne proceeded with the investigation, there was no way he could lay a f

Olivia met Mason's eyes, concerned with her lips pursed. She said in an undertone, "Grandpa, Wayne might've known that I deceived him.""So what if he knows? Didn't you say that the ring self-destructed? Your mission has failed, but his migraine got better. What else is he asking for?"Olivia won the upper hand in this matter. Wayne didn't have evidence, so he couldn't punish her according to the law even if he found out her true identity.Her concern was that he would never let this slide after getting tricked by her. When he did something bad to Arlandia, she would be the sinner."I'm afraid I'll bring you trouble.""Silly you. I heard that you saved Princess Sadie in Dexim City. Do you know that your genuine act has saved several countries from war?""Princess? That pregnant woman is a princess?" Only then did Olivia learn the pregnant woman's identity.No wonder that pregnant women wore so many accessories. Olivia initially assumed that the escaped family abandoned her

It had been hectic for Linus. Although he didn't know the details, he at least knew better than Olivia."It hasn't been long since you came, but I bet you know your grandfather's temper. It's not about Krystal's willingness, but if he wants her back or not.""Is Grandpa serious about expelling her out of the family?" She was surprised. "She's his daughter, though. I thought he was trying to straighten her attitude up.""It was, at first. He thought that she would repent her mistakes, but she crossed the line again. "He reminded her to keep a distance from Yale, and yet, she didn't listen. She even got pregnant with Yale's baby. What else can Dad do about this?"He covered his hand over his forehead. "Krystal is spoiled. Yale is a bad guy. He's willing to do anything to climb up the ladder. If both families really become in-laws, we'll either rise or flame out with them."Olivia was aware that Yale was behind the incident on the ship. If he got married to Krystal when the tru

Olivia sighed at women's fates, where they could never take full control of their lives.After putting on makeup and wearing a mask, she drove out, heading for the villa in the suburbs.Cautiously, she waited at the junction until Yale's car was driven away before she entered the villa."Ms. Molly, I'm outside your place."The door opened to reveal Molly and her red eyes. Molly appeared skinnier than before.Olivia patted her shoulder. "Let's talk inside.""Sure." Molly held Olivia's hand, leading her into the house.Florence's eyes of hostility observed Olivia intensely. Olivia cleared her stance by pointing out, "Relax, I'm here to comfort her. Get us a glass of warm water and a warm napkin."Florence actually planned to snitch on Olivia, but the latter appeared trustworthy for some reason.In the end, Florence went to fetch water and a napkin as told.Olivia wiped Molly's face, especially her eyes, with the napkin. Then, she proffered the glass of water to Molly. "Have som
