Chapter 133
He left the room after he said those words. Olivia did not understand his intentions. He did not yell at her, and neither did he throw a temper tantrum. He didn’t even question her actions. What did he mean by “the best decision she could’ve made“?
The door closed with a bang, and a new round of fireworks started. Looking at the fireworks, they burned brightly but only for an instant. She felt like her life was like that. She shone brightly for a short while before endless sorrow and darkness were all that was left.
As everyone was enjoying the lively atmosphere, Olivia suddenly heard a woman scream.
“Master Connor!”
Was she just hearing things?
Next moment, she saw a few men run past her door in a rush. One of them was holding Connor! She didn’t know what was going on, but she was already running after them before she knew it.
Connor’s shrill cries rang across the corridor, but everyone else was focused on the fireworks show. Most of the security guards were busy helping set off the fireworks.
Mina’s leg seemed to have been shot, so she couldn’t run after the men. She could only watch as they took Connor away.
Olivia realized that she was not the only one on the ship who was scheming against Connor. She was thankful that she changed out of her evening gown before this. It allowed her to keep up with the men.
She ran like her life depended on it. As the men were starting up their speedboat, she knew she wouldn’t make it in time. She took a chance and leapt toward the boat without regard for her own safety. She managed to get on.
The men were planning to escape from the scene. They didn’t expect someone to suddenly appear on their boat, and it was a woman who was out of breath, no less.
Olivia’s stamina was not what it was back in high school, where she was able to run more than 1,000 yards without needing a break.
She wanted to act tough in front of these men. But she couldn’t stop panting when she said, “Put … him… down…”
She couldn’t even complete a sentence properly. She also had to grab hold of the edges of the boat to prevent herself from falling off.
Even she was amazed that she was able to catch up with such a sickly b*dy.
Reality once again proved that people were more forgiving toward pretty women. The men were nervous when they saw another person appear on the boat suddenly. They had raised their guns at Olivia’s forehead.
But she suddenly fainted before she was able to finish her sentence. The man closest to her even grabbed at her instinctively to stop her from falling.
“What do we do about this woman, boss? Should we throw her overboard?”
Faint light shone on Olivia’s face. She looked innocent and harmless. Her white down jacket was swaying in the wind, making her look even weaker and sicklier.
The leader of the group looked at her face and said, “No need. Let’s go.”
The speedboat quickly left the vicinity of the cruise ship. One of the men said, “Is she serious? She ran all the way to our boat to become a prisoner.”
Mina watched everything go down at the railing. She was anxious and angry. She was only noticed by the security guards after she dragged herself out of the corridor with a bleeding leg
“Master Connor has been taken!” Mina ignored her bleeding leg and crawled her way to Ethan.
Marina’s first reaction was to slap her. “How could my son be taken by someone out of nowhere? Why can’t you take care of a child? How many times…”
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
