Otto's words shook Marina. He patted her shoulder and said, "There's no need to be afraid. I have killed plenty of people on the battlefield. I wouldn't be resorting to such methods if your father had listened to me and had a baby. He's too crazy about her.""So her leukemia didn't develop by chance?" Marina looked at Otto in shock. The bloodlust in Otto's eyes remained strong. He said with a cold smile, "That's right. I had wanted your father to marry a woman that's a match for our family after your mother passed away. But he married Chloe instead. She could no longer bear a child after her miscarriage. "I asked your father to find another healthy woman and have a baby, but he refused. That's why I had to do this."Marina's fingers held onto the chair's armrests tightly. She was the one who caused Chloe's miscarriage. She had hated Chloe ever since she was a child. She felt like Chloe stole Chris' love from her mother. Marina thought if Chloe gave birth to a baby, even her fat

Olivia immediately sent Chris to the emergency room. "How is he, doctor?""Don't worry. It looks like he just fainted from exhaustion. I'll be able to confirm that after some check-ups." Olivia was relieved, but she stayed by Chris' side and poured him a glass of warm water after he woke up."Mr. Carlton, didn't I tell you that your body is in bad shape and that you need to rest?"Shaking his head, Chris said, "I'm fine. I've always been healthy.""No matter how healthy you are, your body won't be able to take constant all-nighters. If you keep this up, you might be gone before Ms. Parker. I'll call Marina over to take care of you."Chris grabbed her hand and stopped her. He said with a conflicted expression, "Don't call her, please. I'd die faster if she was here. "It's embarrassing to bring it up, but Chloe had given her all the love she could ever need all these years. It was because her mother died early, and Chloe was separated from you. "Marina became spoiled because C

Chloe was surprised to see Marina, but her surprise quickly turned into happiness. She had always felt an inexplicable feeling of closeness with her. "It's so nice to see you, Marina. Have a seat."Marina thought Chloe would hate her after what she did last time. But she didn't see a speck of anger or blame on Chloe's face. All she saw was joy. She put down the fruit basket in her hand and said, "I … I'm here to see you. I didn't mean to do that last time. I was in a bad mood because I lost a game. That's why …""It's fine. I was never mad at you. But you shouldn't hold a grudge against your father. He only slapped you because he lost control. I've already given him a talking to."Chloe could see the guilt in Marina's eyes. That was an emotion she had never seen in Marina before. Marina didn't speak. She only stared at Chloe's face, which had slimmed down a lot. Chloe was undoubtedly a beautiful woman. Marina could still remember the first time they met. Back then, Chloe was

Kelvin sped up at the next turn. Several cars that were waiting joined the fray. Olivia looked behind and saw the Bentley Mulsanne being in the middle of four cars. It was forced to a stop after several minutes. Kelvin was hot-headed. After reassuring Olivia, he got out of the car. He wanted to see for himself who had the audacity to tail them. Although the Bentley Mulsanne was forced to a halt, its tinted windows prevented Kelvin from looking inside.He knocked on the window cockily and said, "Will you roll down the window yourself or do I need to smash it?"More than a dozen bodyguards surrounded the car. This commotion caused some passersby to look over. They wondered if a fight was about to happen. The window slowly rolled down. The first thing that came into view was the hand on the man's knee. There was a sapphire ring on the man's finger. Even the green suit he wore looked impeccable. The man's face was slowly revealed until his eyes met Kelvin's. Kelvin was a little i

Marina responded, "I called for the doctor and nurses as soon as possible. I went to the toilet because I had an upset stomach. I came here as soon as I was out of the toilet. How is she doing?"Chris looked at her for a while and shook his head. "It's not looking good.""Don't worry, Dad. Ms. Parker will surely get better. I've been reflecting on my actions these two days. I used to hate her because I thought she was only pretending to like me. But I've realized that she really loves me. "I feel guilty for treating her so badly. I'll never make her angry again when she recovers."Chris hugged her after she said that. "Your mother will be fine. We'll get through this as a family.""That's right."Olivia felt mixed emotions as she looked at them. Marina had abused her a lot, after all. There was still a blood feud between them. Olivia really couldn't bear seeing Marina in such a loving situation. She looked away but noticed that Marina's hands were clutching the hem of her clot
