Ethan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.Olivia and Alicia were wearing exquisite silver gowns. In addition to the silver chains, they appeared oddly beautiful.Alicia's face wasn't covered, so her innocent face was shown on the huge screen.Everyone was mesmerized by her angelic beauty.She wasn't fed any drugs, so her beady eyes were crystal clear.Her hair accessory came with diamonds and feathers, turning her into a princess of an exotic country.Her innocent eyes indicated that she didn't know what was going on. She didn't cry. Instead, the curious girl scanned the surroundings like a lamb intruding on a lion's den by mistake.Her rosy lips parted, and Ethan read her lips. "Mom. Uncle Logan."Ethan's fingers were already touching his weapon. He wished he could fire his gun at Flora at this moment.Alicia's beauty surged the crowd into a commotion.A lot of them were even planning to renew their collection.Some of the twisted people planned to take her

Dale was known to be a playboy. His strong background gave him more reason to be one.Ethan didn't want to cross the Kingstons. Once things got out of control, Old Mr. Kingston would be a pain in the ass for him.Dale was the only person competing against Ethan. The price to remove Olivia's mask had reached up to four million dollars.Even Dale himself found it ridiculous. Frustrated, he asked, "Who's that fool competing against me?""We've looked into it, Mr. Dale. But we don't know who he is. He's mysterious. See how he bids a price as soon as you raise the bid? I think he's determined to win this round. Why don't we leave it at that and focus on the next round?"Dale snorted coldly. "Fine. Seems like I got a great deal for nothing. Let's see if that woman is worth four million dollars. If not, I bet he'll be infuriated."The bid ended with four million dollars. Everyone wished to know who spent so much money for a mere kiss.Some of them even doubted if the bidder could pay t

Following that was a whole new round of bidding. Flora's spur definitely stimulated the guests.The starting price of one million dollars soon increased by multiple folds. The figure increased faster than Usain Bolt.The huge screen was displaying Olivia. Her face was perfect no matter from which angle one looked.The high-resolution screen showed her forehead covered in beads of sweat. Her eyes were glazed over. The drugs were kicking in.Some of the men were willing to splurge money to have her without a care in the world.Dale wasn't one of the bidders. The bid went up to seven million dollars even before he raised his placard.The businessmen knew what they were doing. Once they were sick of Olivia, they could hand her over to someone else.A beauty like her could be sold around like hotcakes. It wouldn't be long before they could earn their capital back.Hence, the bids were raised higher and higher. It was going to exceed nine million dollars soon."Things are not look

Although it was embarrassing, Olivia couldn't be bothered about it anymore.She simply wanted to cover her face so that others couldn't see her.Her long dress cascaded downward, making her look like an injured mermaid.While carrying her, Ethan took big strides out of the area. Joshua followed behind while carrying Alicia."Get a doctor. Hurry.""Got it."Ethan wanted to have Olivia, but not in such a situation, hence the annoyance.Besides, he didn't know what kind of drugs Flora gave Olivia and whether they would take a toll on her health.The doctor checked on her while Ethan gave them space. He lit a cigarette in the corridor.A lot of helicopters appeared above the dark sea.Joshua's expression changed. "Mr. Miller, did you hire mercenary soldiers?"He thought that Ethan would call over the army with his official identity, yet Ethan hired mercenary soldiers instead!That way, if things went south, the higher-ups wouldn't have the right to look into the matter.Joshua

Olivia's face turned beet red after she blurted that. Had she not built up her willpower through chemotherapy, she would've already lost control of herself.Ethan stared at the embarrassed woman. Despite knowing that she was acting this way because of the drugs, he couldn't help his racing heartbeat."I'll face my back at you then. I won't look at you." He turned around, gazing out of the window.The night sea was somber without the touch of gleaming sunlight. He could hear the whirring sound of helicopters approaching.The real party was going to begin.Almost ten minutes later, the sound of a woman moaning suddenly resounded behind him.Ethan hurriedly turned around, only to see her red face. Aside from her hair and body, her eyes were watery too. The corners of her eyes were red.She was fatally sexy."Miss, are you … alright?"The groggy Olivia wanted to get up in the bathtub, but her weak limbs wouldn't listen to her head.She fell the second she stood up."Be careful
