Olivia shook her head. "He wouldn't dare to do anything while we're in Aldenvine, but…"Olivia recalled how tolerant Wayne was toward her. In the past, he would've killed her for doing all those things to him.She slapped him and scratched him. He even found out that the assassin after his life was related to her, but he acted like nothing happened. It was too weird. That was very unlike Wayne to do so. Olivia bit her lip and said awkwardly, "I think he's in love with me."In Raka, Wayne had already developed a small liking for her. However, it was during their car ride that she distinctly felt his affection deepen.A man would only put up with a woman if he was interested in her. It was obvious that Wayne was being a little too tolerant. Ethan felt that a long time ago. If Wayne didn't have feelings for Olivia, he wouldn't wait until the ring was no longer in Olivia's possession before detonating it.Olivia noticed that Ethan had a glum expression on his face. She took his

A business deal worth billions would be very attractive for a company. But for a country, the most important thing would be the intent behind the deal. On the surface, the five superpowers maintained a balance, but every one of them wanted to reign supreme. Arlandia never caused any trouble, but it wasn't afraid of trouble either.But alliances were always going to be better than wars. Wayne used to be a pesky troublemaker. He would stir trouble all over the place and cause unrest. Trade was a common tactic for the two countries to maintain good relations. This meant that Wayne came with the intent to call for peace.If he stopped causing trouble, Linus wouldn't have to stay at the country's border all the time. He could return to Aldenvine and help Mason. Mason was getting older, and he felt even weaker after the last time he got hurt."It's fine. You don't have to do anything you don't want to. I'll handle it for you."Linus smiled gently. His eyes were filled with understa

Olivia was speechless. She even started to suspect that Wayne came all the way to Aldenvine for her.After she comforted Molly, she rolled up her sleeve and left. She was ready to teach him a lesson. Before she reached the living room, she heard a man yelling angrily."Why is it you? Get out of here!"Ethan was holding a cotton ball with tweezers in one hand and a bottle of medical alcohol. He looked like he was about to pour that alcohol on Wayne and set him on fire.Ethan said gruffly, "Didn't you refuse all the doctors? Well, I'm not a doctor. I'll take good care of you. Brent, hold him down.""Yes, Mr. Miller," Brent said as he came forward with several bodyguards. The voices made Olivia think about something. When the people in the village wanted to butcher a pig, they would round up the strong and fit villagers and hold the pig down. The butcher would then kill the pig personally. Wayne was like that pig waiting to be butchered. Ike also came forward and stood in Bre

Wayne's request was shocking but not unexpected. After all, the assassination was a major issue. For a person as vengeful as Wayne, it would have been impossible for him to let someone who tried to kill him go. But he did exactly that and didn't even get his people to investigate the incident. The only reason for this irregular reaction had to be because of Olivia's words.The two of them were basically strangers to each other. Mason couldn't think of any reason why Wayne would make such a proposal other than the fact that he liked Olivia. So, when Wayne said what he said, Mason wasn't all that surprised. He replied calmly, "I have a daughter and a granddaughter. Which one of them do you want to marry?"Yale was called over here, but he didn't think he would need to do anything. His resignation hadn't been approved by Mason yet. He didn't care about power as much as before. He was just doing his job.Mason's words got him worked up. He knew that there was something Mason hated

Mason didn't talk about business while they were at the dining table. He finally got Wayne to shut up. Ethan felt a sense of danger. He had been rivals with Wayne for many years. He knew how stubborn Wayne could be. He knew Wayne wouldn't give up so easily. He was sure that Wayne had backup plans prepared. As expected, Wayne asked to talk to Mason in private. Mason had no reason to refuse. …Marina's legs started to improve three hours ago following a few days of rest. Although they would still hurt from time to time, it wasn't unbearable for her.
