The plot twist came so abruptly that no one saw it coming. Mara was a ruthless bully and did a lot of immoral things. A lot of the people that she bullied came forward and exposed her. Some of the victims of her bullying were even diagnosed with depression and were affected for life. There was even a middle-aged couple that had a child that committed suicide due to false accusations by Mara. They stood before the cameras and condemned Mara with a yellowed picture. Then, there were Mara's teachers, classmates, and neighbors. Everyone came forward and shared their experiences with her. Makeup artists, stylists, and other lower-level workers in the entertainment industry also spoke up anonymously about Mara's arrogant and domineering behavior. The most surprising thing was that several other cleaners and servers also mentioned that Mara had scammed them in the same way. The altercation between Mara and Olivia had become public knowledge. Even the original evening gown in Oli

Shane felt a chill when he heard Ethan's words. He looked at Ethan in disbelief. "Mr. Miller, wha—what did you say …"Kelvin brought over a huge bucket carefully. He didn't hurt himself while doing so because he wore specialized gloves in advance. "I'm a fair man. I'll splash you with some sulfuric acid. If you can dodge it, good for you. But if you get doused in acid, don't blame me for it."Fear flashed in Shane's eyes. He had already been cut by Ethan. It would be bad if the acid touched his wounds. Shane knelt on the floor and begged for mercy, groveling with all his might. "Mr. Miller, I was wrong. I realize that now. I'll die if you splash that acid on me."Ethan kicked him away and straightened up. He looked at Shane emotionlessly and said slowly, "So you do know that sulfuric acid can be lethal."Yet you splashed it at a woman without hesitation. You know how important a woman's face is to her, right? If it's ruined, how would she live even if the acid didn't kill

Olivia fell silent. She felt lost about her future. She felt like she was a priest who had attained enlightenment and had lost her desires, love, and even hatred. She agreed when Ethan asked her to study medicine, but she didn't feel strongly about it. She didn't really care if she studied medicine or business. Anything was fine. The lack of a response didn't anger Ethan. He nibbled on her ear and said seriously, "Liv, I'm not the same. In my eyes, you're my past and my future."After he got dressed, Ethan kissed Olivia on the forehead and left. Olivia watched him leave with Snowball in her hands. She was expressionless, and her heart was calm. She didn't reject Ethan, but she didn't love him either. She counted the days until they would be leaving Aldenvine. There was nothing else for her there. In the following days, Ethan went out at the break of dawn but would always come home in time for dinner with Olivia. He would also watch some movies with her after dinner. The flower

Olivia had asked the same question a while back when she had just woken up. Back then, Olivia was a lost lamb, and she talked in a soft-spoken tone. Olivia had changed since. She was radiating confidence. She pursed her lips and added, "I don't mind if she doesn't like me. It's not like I'm going to marry her."Then, she walked out of the restaurant briskly. Ethan watched as Olivia left and fell into contemplation. Olivia could be so carefree when she wasn't bound by her children and family. Olivia had a spring in her step. It might be because she slept well on the plane or because she was in a good mood after arriving at a new location. Olivia was skipping like a child. Gone was the depressed demeanor that she had for the past year. When they walked past the shops that sold local snacks, Olivia would ask Ethan to buy her some of the snacks. The time was getting late, but Brian didn't dare to speak up. He didn't know what Olivia was trying to pull. Olivia thought she h

Olivia was prepared for the worst. She was only there to introduce herself to Janice. If Janice didn't like her, she would just leave. Before Janice could speak, a familiar voice said, "Ms. Procter, has Ethan returned?"A familiar figure appeared from the corner of the second floor. It was Nikki, who they had met in Arlandia not long ago. Ethan could feel goosebumps all over his body when he heard Nikki's voice. His expression turned cold."What are you doing here?"Nikki quickly walked to Janice's side and held her hand tenderly. She said, "Ethan, I have been keeping Ms. Procter company these past two years." Olivia finally understood why she had been so cocky. So she had been currying favor with Janice. Nikki's trump card was Ethan's mother. What a plot twist. Olivia didn't feel jealous at all. She was still trying to guess what else Nikki had up her sleeve. She felt relieved that she had already eaten at the airport. Or else, she would probably have to starve now.
