Step down
Elijah immediately saw Riley seated at the place of authority, a place once occupied by Sir Augustus.There was an occasional gleam in his eyes that made people not dare to underestimate him.It was lively at first, but when they heard that someone outside had sent over a photo, the scene immediately turned cold as the contents of the photo were swiftly explained.At this point, even Riley's smile faded.Simon, Riley's cousin, and one of those who had betrayed Sir Augustus to side with Riley, slammed the table and angrily exclaimed.“Who dares to harm the good soldiers of our family!”“Me!” Simon froze as he stared at a man suddenly appearing out of nowhere.The man's appearance was foreign, but that was only until he took off the mask he was wearing, revealing his identity as Elijah Silva! “This!” Simon could hardly believe his eyes.Meanwhile, Riley jumped to his feet. “How did you get past security?”“That shouldn't concern you. All that should be is the fact that I'm here for yo
Two weeks later
“But I didn’t notice it, and I failed to show you more love and concern. It’s all my fault too!”Oliver spoke seriously and looked at Alice with an apologetic gaze.“Alice, I can assure you that I have always treated you as my daughter. And in my heart, both you and Alice are equal. I love you two equally, and I definitely won’t abhor you or resent you!“Olivia… has already been bewitched. Besides, she’s extremely indignant about her current plight. That’s why she said those things to agitate you. Don’t take to heart what she said! No matter what, you are still my daughter!”Alice felt extremely touched, and tears welled up in her eyes.In fact, she should have been an orphan who had been abandoned.Oliver was the one who gave her a home, and he had always been nice to her since she was a child.At the very least, everything he gave Alice, he gave her too. Oliver had never loathed her..With that, she felt that it didn’t matter that she wasn’t biologically related to them.When she th
A past best forgotten
But the moment she came to her senses, she recalled the words Olivia just said, and it felt like sharp daggers were stabbing her heart.Tears immediately poured out of her eyes and pattered down one by one onto the back of Elijah’s hand.The warmth of her tears made him feel heartbroken.Finally, she mustered up the courage to ask. “Dad, is what she said true?”Oliver let out a long sigh before making up his mind and saying, “In fact, there are some secrets that I wanted to hide from you and take with me to my coffin so that you will never find out about them in your lifetime. But since things have already come to this, I have no choice but to tell you the truth.”He raised his head and saw that only his family remained in the villa. Then he said slowly, “Although Olivia ran her mouth and said lots of absurd things just now, there was one thing she wasn’t lying about, and that is you’re indeed not our biological daughter, Alice.”Alice shivered and closed her eyes in despair as her te
A vicious woman's ramblings
After Elijah was done playing the recording, everywhere went silent.Deep down, Olivia understood that there was no way she could defend herself any further.Moreover, Alice, Oliver, and Elijah would never let her off again!Her body was icy cold, and she collapsed directly on the ground.Just when everyone thought that she had nothing more to say and would be arrested, Olivia suddenly raised her head again with an extremely bizarre smile on her face.“Alice Wesen, do you know why I’m doing this? Now, I’ll be straightforward and honest with you. I’ve always hated you! I’ve always wished for you to be dead!”She suddenly laughed out loud at Alice.Alice widened her eyes in astonishment. “You… what did you say? Why?”Suddenly hearing such hostile words from her mother, Alice was shocked.”Olivia Johnson, shut up immediately! Shut up!” Oliver’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted sternly, trying to stop Olivia from continuing.But at this moment, Olivia had already
Bullet to the head
While thinking about it, Mordred had a miserable smile on his face. Then he pressed the muzzle of the pistol against his temple.Everyone watched in shock as Mordred slowly pulled the trigger.A small hole appeared in Mordred’s temple, and blood immediately gushed out as his body slowly fell to the ground.Everyone fell silent.They had originally thought that Mordred was just trying to make a last-ditch effort to kill Elijah.But no one had expected Mordred to shoot himself instead of them.Everyone’s expressions were complicated.Alice and Alice gradually stopped feeling so tense and nervous after seeing Mordred die.Elijah looked at Mordred’s corpse, but he didn’t feel any emotion.Indeed, Mordred had wanted to take revenge on Elijah and had even wanted to kidnap his daughter. He had really resorted to all means. But as a father himself, Elijah could understand Mordred’s feelings and desire to avenge his son.Seeing that Mordred had killed himself, Elijah sighed and instructed Bruc
An inevitability
Crying and pretending to be miserable were the only way Olivia could think of to deal with the situation in front of her.But she had already used these tricks too many times before, and her character had also been completely exposed, so no one believed her at all.Oliver lowered his head and looked at Olivia, who was crying in front of him and unable to get a grip on her emotions. He said indifferently with some contempt, “Olivia, do you still treat us as fools now?”“No, not at all!”“Then why are you doing this?... You’re still trying to make up excuses in front of me and claiming that you were forced into it. Hah. Do you think I’d believe you?” Oliver said with a saddened look on his face as he stared at Olivia.After all, she was his wife, with whom he had been living for nearly three decades. They also shared a pair of beautiful daughters.Although he had always been dissatisfied with her, he hadn’t divorced her. And although he didn’t let Olivia live in the lap of luxury, he ha
Exposed
Mordred was startled as he watched several tall and burly men streaming in from outside.Olivia jumped up in shock too, but she soon pointed at a middle-aged man among the crowd and said excitedly to Mordred, “Look over there! It’s the man on the far right! He’s the one you sent to pick us up, and he’s the one who took Elijah’s daughter away!”But at this moment, Mordred didn’t even look at the middle-aged man Olivia identified.All his attention was on the elegant young man in his thirties in the middle of the crowd.“You’re… General Thomas!” Mordred exclaimed, recognizing one of the greatest commanders serving the King of the NorthThen he saw Elijah, causing his face to turn incredibly ugly.As soon as he saw the great enemy who had killed his son, a wave of resentment and killing intent kept gushing out from his body beyond his control.But he wasn’t a fool and knew that he couldn’t act rashly at this moment. He also knew that the current situation was extremely bad for him.Recal
Terrified and chagrined
At this moment, Olivia really wanted to cry. She was both terrified and chagrined.Had she known this would happen earlier, she wouldn’t have chosen to cooperate with Mordred because it was simply courting death!But if she could turn back time, she would probably still be willing to sell Claire and work with Mordred.She was an extremely selfish woman.While Olivia was feeling anxious, the middle-aged man suddenly answered a phone call and respectfully said “Yes!” to the phone several times.This made Olivia, who was trying to eavesdrop from the side, unable to get any useful information.All of a sudden, the middle-aged man turned to look at Olivia. “Mr. Abnomar will arrive in three minutes. I’m going outside to receive him. Stay here and don’t move. Otherwise, you know what the consequences are!”With that, he stopped looking at Olivia and opened the villa door to leave.Olivia peeked out sneakily. For a moment, she also thought of sneaking away.But she immediately dismissed the t
Overthinking
Olivia was so engrossed in her fantasy that she didn’t even notice that the two middle-aged men driving in front of her were looking at her with contempt.After about twenty minutes or so, the car finally stopped at the entrance of a quiet villa.The middle-aged man took out his phone and sent out a series of messages before saying coldly to Olivia, “We’re here. Get out.”Olivia opened the door and got out of the car. After looking around, she asked, “Is Mr. Abnomar waiting for me inside?”“No, Mr. Abnomar is a bit busy and hasn’t arrived yet. Just wait inside,” the middle-aged man said with a straight face.Olivia was extremely displeased.She had already sent her granddaughter to Mordred as he wished, yet he was still putting on airs in front of her and asking her to wait for him. He was going overboard!But the other party’s power was definitely greater than hers.Besides, Mordred was in control of the voice recording, so Olivia had no choice but to enter the villa and wait for him
