Ethan was back at the Heath Residence with the kids. He was prepared to celebrate New Year with Olivia and the kids. But he didn't expect Olivia to disappear so suddenly. The Heath Residence was fully decorated, but it was very quiet. There wasn't a smile to be seen on Mason's face, and even Tatiana was very gloomy. Molly was very distracted. She was praying for Olivia, hoping she could turn out fine and come back to them.There was a feast on the table, but no one was in the mood to eat. The atmosphere was very heavy.Mason sighed. "Let's eat. Don't starve yourselves."He started putting food on the kids' plates. Connor thanked him politely, "Thanks, Great-grandpa."Tears were swirling in the twins' eyes. They muttered, "Mom."Ethan ruffled their hair. "Let's eat."In the span of two weeks' time, Ethan slimmed down a lot. He looked like he was always exhausted.Although he had returned to Arlandia, the search was still going on. None of Olivia's stuff had turned up since

Those words sent a shockwave into the group. Ethan dropped whatever he was doing and raised his head abruptly."What did you say? Where is Liv?""Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller is currently in Kreene."Ethan immediately knew what happened. "Where Wayne was born? Damn it. So it really was him. I should've known."If the kidnapper were the person who was trying to kill Olivia, she would've ended up like the rest of the crew.Only Wayne would set up such a distraction. His confession was rejected. So, he faked Olivia's death to hide her whereabouts. He didn't expect Ethan to place a tracker on Olivia."Wayne is a ruthless man. He'd even resort to such methods. Mr. Miller, let's go and bring Mrs. Miller back."Ethan raised his hand to stop him. "No. Wayne must be keeping tabs on us. If we make any sudden moves, we risk alerting him.""You're right, Mr. Miller. Then, what should we do? We can't just leave Mrs. Miller with him, right? He might move her to another location soon.""W

Alan didn't say anything as he stared at Ike. Ike glared at him. "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?""Ike, didn't you enjoy the cookies that Dr. Ophelia made? You shouldn't be so rude to someone who offered you hospitality. "I feel like Mr. Maxwell is happier than before. There's nothing bad about that.""You're a fool. Don't you know that a forced relationship never ends well? "Besides, if Mr. Maxwell falls hopelessly in love, his enemies will tear him to pieces. A man like him can't have any weaknesses.""Even if it isn't Dr. Ophelia, he might fall for some other woman. You can't just expect Mr. Maxwell to be single forever."Wayne led Olivia to a dilapidated old building with ease. The house would be easily flattened by a typhoon if it was built near the ocean. There were no elevators in the building, and there were countless ads posted by the stairwell. There were all sorts of odors in the building. Wayne stopped before a wooden door. He took out a key

Jade was quite straightforward in her speech as well. "I'm talking about those doctors he called over in the past. They think they're mothers or something; they nag so much. "It was so annoying! They kept telling me to quit smoking and drinking. Ugh, those annoying flies!"Olivia knew that. Even though Jade was quite old, other than her liver and lungs, her health was completely fine. Olivia could tell that she took great care of her body.Even though Jade was living in a place like this, it was quite peaceful in the area. There weren't any thieves or robberies that happened as soon as she stepped into this place.This meant that an even more powerful person was protecting this area. That was how Jade managed to live in safety."Mr. Maxwell cares about you, so he's worried about you. I won't tell you to change your lifestyle."But if you trust me, I'll prescribe something for you to maintain your health."Jade nodded enthusiastically. "Good girl. I can see that you ca

Olivia couldn't deny it because it was the truth.While she was pregnant, Marina happened to return to the country.Marina was pregnant as well. She wanted proof that Ethan would treat her well, so she asked Ethan to cook for her, too.Back then, Ethan was filled with guilt toward Kurt, so he would fulfill any wish Marina had."It's kind of boring talking to you," Olivia grumbled."I hit the nail on the head."Wayne flipped the food in the pan, sending sparks flying. "I won't be like him. I'm like a wolf, you see. As soon as I lock onto a prey, I will never give up on it. I won't be distracted."I'll admit that my background isn't as good as Ethan's. But with my position, I can give you things he won't be able to. I am not inferior to him in this sense."Olivia scoffed. "Men would make empty promises and whisper sweet nothings when they are trying to court women. "How would I know that you're not another Ethan to me? Or do you think that I'm a pure 18-year-old, and I'll f
