However, Lisa's threats were useless. Edna was motivated by benefit, after all. She soon revealed everything about what happened back then."I didn't know that the milk was poisoned, and I even wanted to drink it myself. But after I drank it, I had to go to the hospital. After some tests, I found out that there was something wrong with the milk."Then, I talked to Lisa about it, and that was how I found out about her plans. Later on, I stopped giving the milk to the girl."Edna accused Lisa, saying, "She tricked me back then, so if you want someone to blame, blame her. If I hadn't stopped the poisoning in time, the girl wouldn't have survived."Olivia chuckled. "Madam Todd, you're not completely free from blame either. You didn't feed her the poison because you feared that someone might trace it to you."So, you used a more direct method. You tricked her into turning back so that she would get washed away by the flood."The family was filled with evil, but Molly somehow managed t

Molly didn't fall asleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she would see that vivid red color.Olivia gave her an acupuncture treatment as usual. "I know you're not sleeping."Opening her eyes, Molly looked a little lost. "Olivia, have I done something wrong?""Yes." Olivia inserted the needles as she said calmly, "Your fault is in your meekness, and you're also too kind.""Olivia…"Meeting her eyes, which were as pure as a child's, Olivia sighed. "Back then, I decided to save you because of the look in your eyes. You remind me of my past self. "I used to think that I could be happy if I treated everyone kindly, but the world doesn't work like that. Sometimes, the more you care about others, the more likely they'll take advantage of you."Your weakness will bring you trouble, and it'll also bring misfortune to the people around you."When Olivia said that, she recalled Mona's face when she died in front of her. If Olivia had been a little stronger back then, she wondered if she

Olivia was aware of why this came to be, but when she heard someone else's daughter call Ethan "Dad", she still felt a little weird.That was why she couldn't completely accept Ethan. There were too many grudges between them.Even if those grudges were removed, many wounds would remain. Every single wound was a reminder of her tragic past.Other than Marina and Erina, there was also Leia to consider.Olivia and Ethan had been quite intimate with each other recently, and she felt a fire burning between them.However, when Erina called Ethan "Dad", Olivia suddenly felt like cold water was poured onto her. It cooled off her hot passion."Well, I don't think I can come today. I have something to attend to right now. I'll pick you up when I have time. Where would you like to go for dinner? I'll make a reservation," Ethan said calmly.Obviously, Ethan didn't want to have anything to do with Marina. Even if he had to eat, he would dine alone with Erina.Erina sounded a little pitiful.

At the dining table, Otto took Ethan's hand and said sincerely, "I don't have much time left, Ethan."Originally, the grandson-in-law I was most keen on having was you, but in the end, things weren't meant to be between you and Marina. Now that things have come to this point, I won't ask for too much."I just hope that you won't attack the Carltons, even if it's just because of the connection between our families. Please give us as much support as you can."When Otto said those words, Fabian gripped the wine glass tightly. But when Otto looked at him, he put on a fake friendly face.Olivia once saw Fabian meeting up with Yale, so he must be on the Yale family's side. Hence, it made sense that he would be upset with what Otto said."Fabian, you should learn from Ethan."Fabian held the wine glass, looking quite guilty indeed. "You're right, Grandpa. Mr. Miller, I'm counting on your guidance."Ethan's gaze swept over him. There was a deep knowing look in his eyes as he said, "I wo

Connor was still receiving training out there, and Ethan was separated from his other three children. This was a decision Olivia had made back then to draw boundaries between herself and Ethan.To protect the children, she didn't even tell Ethan where the children were studying.Even though Ethan had a reason, when Olivia thought about him going so far for someone else's child, she still felt upset about it.Gripping the steering wheel, Olivia quietly told herself not to hold a grudge against a child. But she couldn't stop her mind from thinking.She sped all the way back to the Heath residence.Meanwhile, in the Carlton residence, Marina's body was pinned against the cold mirror as she endured Fabian's outrage. About a dozen minutes later, Fabian finally stopped in haste.Seeing that he didn't take any preventive measures, Marina bit his shoulder viciously. "You jerk! How dare you do that!"Fabian had a crazed look on his face. "I want you to have my child!""In your dreams!"
