Olivia slept soundly that night. The view of the snowscape from her room was amazing. It had 270-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, and the motorized curtains would draw automatically.As Olivia gazed at the white snow outside falling onto the white walls and black tiles, she felt like she was teleported back into ancient times.After a simple washing up, Olivia put on her mask again. Then, she opened the door, heading out to prepare breakfast for Mason.A chill quickly enveloped her when she stepped out of the room. She felt so cold that she sneezed. The deeper it was in the winter months, the colder it would get.Olivia gazed in the distance, thinking about Connor.Ethan had told her that Connor was sent to an island for training, so she couldn't see him for now.When spring came around next year, Connor would have a month off.Connor must have gotten much taller."Good morning."Linus was wearing thin short sleeves as he did aerobic exercises in the yard. The tight-

When Yale talked to Krystal, it was just like how Krystal talked to Ethan. The one getting the attention never had much interest in the person giving them attention.Krystal glanced at Yale indifferently before replying in a careless tone, "Thanks."With that, Krystal made her way to Ethan. Yale, who was ignored, clenched his fists in secret.Ethan was wearing a formal suit and leather shoes. Paired with his half mask, he looked not just handsome but full of mystery as well. A lot of women had their eyes on him."Sova." Lifting the hem of her skirt, Krystal joyfully ran over to him.Olivia swirled the crystal glass in her hand, smiling as she watched the fairytale-like scene.Krystal was very tall, so she wore heels that were only two inches tall. When she ran toward Ethan, she accidentally slipped, and she looked like she was about to fall onto Ethan.Under such circumstances, if Krystal tripped and fell, she would make a fool of herself.No one would turn a blind eye to that,

Ethan smiled half-heartedly. "When Vanessa was treating me back then, we spent every waking hour together. I know a thing or two about her habits."Ethan's reply was completely fine. However, Linus wondered if he was hearing things, for he felt like Ethan had emphasized the words "spent every waking hour together".After Ethan said that, he looked away as if he had never said anything.In an attempt to avoid trouble, Olivia didn't say anything more to him. She tried not to draw attention.After all, it was a banquet, not some outdoor restaurant. The dining atmosphere was very quiet, and only the sounds of the piano being played live could be heard.Olivia looked at the dishes, presented like a masterpiece. Even common vegetables were carved into the shape of flowers.After the banquet, Mason excused himself. He said that he wanted the youngsters to mingle around.It was a clear sign that he had intended for this banquet to be a blind date of sorts. Tatiana was taking the opportu

Watching her children dancing together, Tatiana was all fired up.The party was meant to be a blind date in disguise and yet her children didn't give her peace of mind at all. It seemed like she could only depend on her own.When the song ended, Ethan could barely let Olivia go, but he did it anyway.Tatiana approached them. "Ethan, Vanessa, thank you so much for helping my husband. Cheers.""I simply did what I had to, Mrs. Heath. It's my job to share your burdens.""You're too humble. Both of you have to drink this no matter what." Tatiana beckoned a waiter over.The waiter served them three glasses of wine. She took one of them, and the couple took the remaining."Here, Vanessa. I'm sorry for what happened between you and my daughter. It's my fault for spoiling her too much. I hope you'll look after my husband in the future.""Don't be such a stranger, Mrs. Heath." Olivia didn't think that Tatiana was being sincere with those words, but she had to keep it courteous."Let'

Olivia returned to her room first.The moment she stepped through the door, she felt unwell. She felt a pulsing down there.She wondered, "Did someone drug me?"After contemplation, she reckoned that the wine from Tatiana was the only thing that was off. Olivia didn't expect someone like Tatiana to stoop to such a lowly deed!It seemed like she didn't care about her reputation as long as she could marry Krystal to Ethan.Olivia filled the bathtub with water and dipped herself in it, wanting to cool herself down.The longer she spent in the water, the hotter she felt. She wondered if it was because of the warm water.She stood up and put on a robe, figuring that she needed an injection.Olivia recalled the scene of taking the drink with Ethan.Tatiana's glass of wine was surely untainted. In order to make sure that the plan was a success, both the other glasses must have been drugged.As an afterthought, Olivia bet that Ethan was suffering as she was right now!Tatiana's
