Yale gritted his teeth the second Krystal showed up. He was exasperated. The way she treated Molly was still vivid in his head.Mason and Tatiana exchanged glances. They didn't want people to learn of such an embarrassing history for the sake of their reputation.In case it became a topic for water cooler conversation, they kept quiet.Olivia snorted lightly. "She's finally clever for once."Ethan stroked her head, saying, "It's just a matter of time before this happens. It won't make much of a difference.""You're right." Olivia stood still and merely watched.She had no pity for Krystal after what Krystal had done. Not even Krystal's death could atone for her sins.Since Krystal had played her card, it all depended on how Sherman reacted.A tear-stricken Krystal moved to him while kneeling. "Grandpa, if you don't want me either, I'll have nowhere else to go. Please take pity on me. Take pity on your grandson. He's three months old."Her plea was no different from putting She

Olivia didn't want to hear a single word of their flattery, and impatience was evident on her face.Noticing her mood, Ethan sat next to her to shield her from the unnecessary conversation.That was how humans worked. When one rose high, people would flock around one; when one became bankrupt, one would lose the friends one thought were close.Olivia thought that there was no need to form unnecessary relationships. True power came from within oneself.She watched Krystal, who was just nearby. She was eating, all puffed up just like how she was in the past.Olivia smiled faintly. "You know, being shameless isn't a bad thing sometimes. What matters is that you achieve your goals."In comparison, Molly behaved timidly due to the environment she grew up in. She suffered a lot with the Kingston family.Ethan took a slice of cake for Olivia. "The Kingston family isn't all rainbows and unicorns as Krystal is imagining it to be. It's a lion's den. She'll spend her days crying soon."

"You're an ingrate. You're just like that cold-blooded mother of yours. We should've gotten rid of you! Do you think the Heath family would accept you, Yale? "Dream on! You're nothing without the Kingston family. You've grown naive after spending so much time near that woman. People will only care about their personal interests. What value can you provide to the Heaths?"The swirling snow clouded Yale's eyes. He was only wearing a shirt on him, and the weather was very cold. The snow kept falling heavily. There was a woman in a fur coat standing a small distance away from him. She was looking at him worriedly."Yale…"Molly started to run toward him. Yale was worried that she might fall, so he quickened his steps and dashed forward to hug her.They shared a warm hug in the snow."Yale, I'm sorry.""Molly, I've never been so happy before. I'm finally free from the Kingston family's control. From now on, I want to live for myself.""Yale, you still have me.""Yeah."Olivia a

The snow didn't seem like it was going to let up anytime soon. It even started snowing heavier at midnight. The temperature quickly started dropping. Millie's mink coat was already covered in snowflakes. It had never crossed her mind that one day, she would be kneeling at a place like this because of Tyrell.They kneeled for around two hours before she fainted. A guard came over and helped her into the car. Alfred also told them that everyone in the house was asleep and he wouldn't be letting them in.Tyrell could only bring his wife and son back home with a heavy heart. Mason's silence made it clear that there was no room for negotiations. Ethan looked on coldly as Tyrell got into his car. He said, "Brent, the glory days of the Monroe family are over. Go dig up some dirt on them.""Yes, Mr. Miller."Just because Tyrell was a retired government official didn't mean he didn't have any skeletons in his closet. He was just lucky that he didn't experience too many setbacks in his

Olivia spaced out as she sat in the corridor. Why did this gathering have to happen at this very point in time?The ringing of bells sounded next to her. Willow had come to check on her. The child noticed that Olivia had a heavy expression on her face, so she rubbed her face against Olivia's hands.Willow lived in the village for a long time, and she was very close with all sorts of animals. She would sometimes act like one.Olivia ruffled her hair with a tender expression."Why aren't you playing with your brothers and sister?"Willow shook her head and made a hand sign. She was worried about Olivia. It was probably because she had heard a little of what the adults were talking about and thought Olivia was feeling sad for someone else. Willow was a very considerate child. She might not be able to speak, but she had a big heart.Olivia lifted her into her arms. "I'm fine. It's just that the fates of others are already determined. I can't save everyone. So, I'm trying my best
