Chapter 139
Tom was elated. “Yeah! Jack said that he’d bring helpers, and he wanted meals instead of money. The boss, Mr. Gibson, agreed right away.
“We ate a lot of food in the kitchen, and it was delicious! I even took some food with me when I left.”
Olivia finally understood why the newbies managed to succeed.
They were just lucky.
Marcus Gibson probably didn’t expect anyone to be this bold. How could someone cause problems on the cruise or kidnap Connor?
Ethan and the rest probably never thought that the b*dyguard position was by name only. So, this group easily achieved what they aimed for.
It was quite a funny coincidence.
“So you’re doing this for money. Where’s the kid?”
“My grandma is taking care of him. He drinks a lot, and he almost finished all the milk we milked from Buttercup,” Jerry complained.
While Olivia was questioning the two, Jack had been standing at the side and staring silently at her.
“Are you done with the questions?” Jack asked in a low voice.
Olivia was about to say something when the man twirled the dagger in his hand. With a flash, the blade of the dagger was held against her neck.
“Speak. Who exactly are you?”
Olivia felt a chill run down her spine. Even though the two young lads were novices, this man wasn’t.
His eyes looked like those of a snake’s as they peered through the mask, observing. The man was waiting for her to let down her guard before he struck.
“If you dare hide anything again, I’ll kill you right now. No one will know if you die here,” the man said coldly.
He stood by the wooden window, his tall figure blocking the sunlight that spilled in from outside.
His emotions were hidden under the mask, and only his tightly pursed l*ps were visible. The extreme murderous intent in his eyes sent chills down Olivia’s spine.
The words she said when she let down her guard probably roused suspicion.
The two children weren’t bad people. Since they were connected to Jack, she wanted to bet on the notion that Jack wasn’t a bad person either.
“I’m not lying. You can find photos I took with him on my phone.”
She took out her phone, which had lost all signal, and showed them the album she had always refused to touch.
The album consisted of photos she secretly took of Ethan in the past. In the photos, he was either working, sleeping, or drinking coffee.
There were also a few photos where he was sleeping, and she had taken a selfie with him with a funny face.
All the photos proved one thing–she was messing around while he worked. The two shared a happy past.
There was also a set of photos she had taken after she got pregnant. But Ethan had completely vanished by then.
Only she remained in the photos with her huge belly and a faint smile on her l*ps.
“There isn’t a single lie in my story, but there is something I lied to you about. Even though I hate Ethan and Marina, their
child is innocent.
“When I saw you guys taking the child away last night, I went after you without another thought.”
Taking a deep breath, Olivia said, “I don’t want to harm the child; I want to save him. I never thought that I would faint from the lack of energy.”
Just as expected, her words won Jack’s trust. He gave her a deep look before releasing her.
“You’re quite kind.”
“I originally wanted to dump that kid in the ocean, but I gave up in the end. I couldn’t harm an innocent child.
“Since your target is money instead of the kid, I think we can work together.”
Olivia stared at the man with a clear look in her eyes. “I hate Ethan, and I know him better than anyone else.
“I can help you get the money and retreat in one piece. In exchange, give me the child. I want to make sure that he’s safe.”

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 …
