As the dark blood oozed out of Olivia and Jacqueline, the excruciating pain zapped through their bodies.Olivia was on the brink of losing herself, and Jacqueline was no less better.Jacqueline had always been arrogant her whole life, but now, she struggled to quell the urge to scream. All she could do was watch the filthy blood flowing out of her.The pain was too much to hold in, causing Olivia to shake. She tightly clutched the hem of her shirt, trying not to break the ritual. According to their plan, the bleeding was supposed to stop after a certain period. Jacqueline's bleeding showed an indication of stopping, but not Olivia's. Olivia lost more blood than Jacqueline did. She was basically sitting in a pool of dark blood! It was as though something was sucking her blood dry out of her. Olivia noticed the situation and started panicking. But she didn't dare to do anything because she wasn't the witch. Plus, she hadn't dealt with curses. What if she interrupted the ritual a

Wayne's eyes frantically scanned over Olivia. "Are you alright?""I'm fine. Just some scratches. Jacqueline mustn't get away!""Don't worry, I have people ready in the vicinity."Jacqueline was a sly fox with Alexander on her side. Olivia vowed to herself that she would capture Jacqueline even if Shana's life was in danger. Forget about knowing Shana's whereabouts. If Jacqueline knew that information, that would mean she and Brandon were plotting something together!If Jacqueline escaped, it was impossible for her to tell Olivia Shana's whereabouts.The promise was a way to buy herself some time. Both parties had something plotted right from the beginning. They wanted each other dead!Now that things had turned out this way, someone had to die, and it was either Olivia or Jacqueline. Unfortunately for Jacqueline, she was wrong about someone—Wayne. Wayne was Ethan's enemy, so Jacqueline initially thought that luring Olivia to Wayne's territory might give her the upper hand

Before the medic could bandage Olivia's hand, another thunderous explosion could be heard from the sea. She had always known how vile-tempered and straightforward Wayne was. She bet that he opted to kill Jacqueline in the most convenient way possible.Staring at the flames that were soaring to the sky, Olivia had mixed feelings. Jacqueline had done so many cruel things. Killing her this way was simply an act of benevolence. Reflecting on the hardships she had endured thus far, Olivia figured that Jacqueline shouldn't have died this easily. Jacqueline was a calculating witch! Olivia nearly died so many times because of her!However, it seemed that Olivia's party didn't have a better option.Wayne's tall figure cast a shadow. "Don't worry. The chances of her surviving the sea is nil."Olivia hummed in response. Although the curse was lifted, she didn't feel happy. She still didn't know where Shana was. How were they supposed to look for her? The only good news was that We

Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior. It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family. If it were any ordinary woman, Wendell wouldn't have minded it. But the person he insisted on marrying was none other than Olivia! She was a divorced woman with four kids!On top of that, Olivia's ex-husband was Wendell's nephew! The divorced couple was somewhat entangled with each other too.Ethan and Wayne were both dear to him. What should he do? Wendell was at his wit's end. Ignoring Wendell's dilemma, Wayne handed him a cigarette. But Wendell refused, "I quit it."Wayne lit a cigarette and squatted on the ground. Instead of a ruler of a land, he appeared more like a construction worker. Wendell massaged his forehead at that. How had his son grown

Olivia and the others returned to the Fordham family. Everything was going back on track under Avery's management. Sean's leg was recovering well. He could walk like a normal person, and he didn't have to pretend to be a cripple anymore. Troy would need more time to heal, but he was making progress.David clearly seemed better than he was before Olivia left. Everyone could still hardly believe that Jacqueline almost killed everyone in the family all by herself. When Olivia returned, David asked with concern, "Olivia, Avery said that you were cursed. How are you feeling right now?""Don't worry, Dad. I'm all better now. But we think that Jacqueline's dead in the sea," she assured.He hugged her. "It's alright. Your safety is all I hope for."It broke her heart to see how time had chipped away at his physique. It hadn't actually been that long since the family was in trouble. "Any news about Mom's whereabouts?" asked Olivia. "Avery found something, but he's still trying to
