Still, Olivia was one step ahead of him in knowing the truth."Where are you?" she asked. Was he involved in this?"Zelotria. Many things have happened to the Fordham family lately. It took me a while to find out who the mastermind was. Don't worry, I'll seize my chance to eliminate her amidst this mess."A wave of relief washed over her. She thought he knew of her whereabouts and had seen through her plan. Fortunately, it seemed like he didn't know that she was in Zelotria."Don't kill her.""Why not? She wants you dead. You'll be in greater danger if she's alive."Olivia made up an excuse. "Ms. Jacqueline has tried to assassinate me several times. I met her before. We're of the same age. We're miles apart, and there's no bad blood between us. Why would she want me dead? I think there's someone else who wants me dead. "She's just a chess piece. Killing her won't solve the problem. We have to kill the actual mastermind…"Now, Olivia had become the manipulator instead of the

At this point, the smile on Deborah's face was crazed with obsession. "Stay alive. Make sure to witness it all."She gave David a supplement injection as he shut his eyes, lying in bed. It took up all of his strength just to talk to her.Actually, his silence and sickly state weren't the picture she had in mind. This wasn't what she wanted.While setting this up behind the scenes, she imagined he would get on his knees to beg for mercy or get on her good side.Even though he was caught and his family was in trouble, unlike her expectations, he was reluctant to cave in. He even attempted suicide!So what if she spent so much time orchestrating the whole plan? At the end of the day, she couldn't gain what she wanted.Despite her deep resentment for him and his sickly state, she didn't want him to die. Deep love would come with deep hatred sometimes. Why would she want him dead when he was the man she desperately yearned for? All she wished for was for him to beg her and return

Leia was still quite young, but she had been through a lot. So, she was able to hide her emotions very well. "This is my first time here. I couldn't sleep, so I decided to walk around for a bit." Janice replied, "You know that Ethan's here, too. If he sees you out there, he'll definitely…"Leia cut her off immediately, "Do you think he doesn't know that my limbs are healed? If he really wanted to kill me, he would've done it three years ago. In the end, he's just like you—delusional about love and weak-minded."Back then, Ethan didn't choose to kill her. He only severed her tendons. That was his way of avenging Olivia. Moreover, Olivia was still alive. Ethan probably wouldn't hurt her anymore. "You're not like us at all, Leia."Leia smiled bitterly. "Who says I'm not like the two of you?"The delusional way of thinking seemed to run in the family. Her parents and Ethan were like that, and she was the same. She knew that her life belonged to Avery the moment he saved her

Olivia had known Ethan for years. She knew when something was wrong with him."Are you hiding something from me? Is it news about my dad?"Ethan ruffled her hair. "No. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything. You haven't rested much in the past few days. You should take a break. I'll monitor the situation for you."Olivia didn't feel the urge to sleep at all, but her body had been showing signs of fatigue. She knew she should get some rest. She sighed. There was nothing she could do but go back to her room and rest as she waited for updates.She was very anxious. She wanted to do something for the Fordham family and David. The Fordham family was in a huge mess. She didn't want to risk making a wrong move. Ethan comforted her gently until she fell asleep. Then, he received a call from Brent. "Mr. Miller, the person who's tailing Ms. Miller reported back. She's in disguise and heading toward that villa in the suburbs."Ethan's people knew that David was in that villa. T

"Meds? I don't want any meds. I'm not sick!"For some reason, Deborah became very agitated and swung her arms frantically at Leia. "Ms. Johnson, calm down. It's me. I'm Begonia!"Deborah's eyes refocused, and she regained her composure. "That's right. You're Begonia. I raised you. Why would you hurt me?"She swallowed the meds and drank a glass of water."How's the Fordham family faring?""Things are still a huge mess. They're fighting over the inheritance. Ms. Jacqueline has her hands full dealing with that. "As of now, the evidence is really disadvantageous for her. But the blood type inheritance theory has been disproven by some people recently. It's not absolute. "Now that Mr. Fordham isn't around, they can't do DNA tests. They can only do tests with Mr. Fordham's brothers, but that isn't entirely accurate either. Since the same woman gave birth to all of them, they're currently at an impasse."Deborah rubbed her temples. "That's really completely unexpected. ""Ms. Jo
