He left the room after he said those words. Olivia did not understand his intentions. He did not yell at her, and neither did he throw a temper tantrum. He didn't even question her actions. What did he mean by "the best decision she could've made"?The door closed with a bang, and a new round of fireworks started. Looking at the fireworks, they burned brightly but only for an instant. She felt like her life was like that. She shone brightly for a short while before endless sorrow and darkness were all that was left. As everyone was enjoying the lively atmosphere, Olivia suddenly heard a woman scream. "Master Connor!" Was she just hearing things? Next moment, she saw a few men run past her door in a rush. One of them was holding Connor! She didn't know what was going on, but she was already running after them before she knew it. Connor's shrill cries rang across the corridor, but everyone else was focused on the fireworks show. Most of the security guards were busy helping se

The cruise ship docked ahead of schedule before the sun was even up. The guests did not know what happened and were wondering why the event ended prematurely. After all the guests had disembarked, Marina began to throw a temper tantrum."Why haven't you sent people after Olivia? That bitch colluded with the kidnappers to take my son away. She …"Brent felt a strong desire to slap her when he heard what she said. He kicked the culprit that allowed the kidnapping to happen into the room. It was Marina's uncle, Marcus. Marina became furious when she saw that. "What's the meaning of this? You're not looking for Olivia, and instead, you brought my uncle here?" "You want to know what? Why don't you explain yourselves first?" Ethan sat on the couch with a scowl before slamming a stack of receipts on the table. "I allocated a budget of one million dollars for Connor's birthday party. How much did he line his pockets with?" Marcus was Helen's only brother. After she passed, the Ca

The man laughed mockingly. "Everyone thinks that Ethan is a devoted man, that he's always been a gentleman. No one mentioned that he had an ex-wife."Clenching her fingers tightly, Olivia said with a sorrowful expression, "I was just a plaything to him. He wouldn't have allowed anyone to know about me. Last night was the anniversary of my son's passing. I snuck on the ship to steal Connor away, but you beat me to the punch.""Your son died, but why did you want to steal their son?"Olivia said slowly, "I wanted his son to accompany mine in death! Have you any idea how I've been living this past year? I've never had a good night's sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I see my son on the operating table. I …"Olivia got emotional as she started to cry. Her tears fell onto the dagger's blade, tracing along the blade to the man's hand. Moving the dagger away, he exclaimed, "Why are you crying? I didn't do anything to you!" Olivia turned into a vengeful woman. She didn't care that the

Tom was elated. "Yeah! Jack said that he'd bring helpers, and he wanted meals instead of money. The boss, Mr. Gibson, agreed right away."We ate a lot of food in the kitchen, and it was delicious! I even took some food with me when I left."Olivia finally understood why the newbies managed to succeed.They were just lucky.Marcus Gibson probably didn't expect anyone to be this bold. How could someone cause problems on the cruise or kidnap Connor?Ethan and the rest probably never thought that the bodyguard position was by name only. So, this group easily achieved what they aimed for.It was quite a funny coincidence."So you're doing this for money. Where's the kid?""My grandma is taking care of him. He drinks a lot, and he almost finished all the milk we milked from Buttercup," Jerry complained.While Olivia was questioning the two, Jack had been standing at the side and staring silently at her."Are you done with the questions?" Jack asked in a low voice.Olivia was about

Olivia tried her best to put on a smile. "That's fine."Connor looked like a different person now. He had changed out of branded clothes and into the clothes that belonged to Martha's children.Olivia wondered how many children had worn the same clothes. There were even patches sewn on older patches.The clothes were thicker, firmer, and also warmer.Connor didn't seem to mind, though. He followed behind Olivia like a little puppy.Sometimes, he would curiously try to chase after cats or pull at the grass by the roadside. Everything here was new to him.Olivia had followed him onto the boat with the resolve that she might lose her life. Hence, she quickly got used to the island.It wasn't as advanced as the city, but it was much cleaner.As Olivia held Connor in her arms, enjoying the breeze, she suddenly had the urge to just live here.But she knew very well that it would be a matter of time before they were found, even if the island wasn't marked on the map.One day, Ethan'
