Chapter 133
Even After Death
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 didnât even question her actions. What did he mean
by âthe best decision she couldâve madeâ?
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.
âMaster Connor!â
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
didnât know what was going on, but she was already running after them before she knew it.
Connorâs 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.
Minaâs leg seemed to have been shot, so she couldnât 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
wouldnât 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 didnât expect someone to suddenly appear on
their boat, and it was a woman who was out of breath, no less.
Oliviaâs 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 couldnât stop panting when she said, âPut â¦
him⦠downâ¦â
She couldnât 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 body.
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
Oliviaâs 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.
âWhat do we do about this woman, boss? Should we throw her overboard?â
Faint light shone on Oliviaâs 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, âNo need. Letâs go.â
The speedboat quickly left the vicinity of the cruise ship. One of the men said, âIs she serious? She ran
all the way to our boat to become a prisoner.â
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
âMaster Connor has been taken!â Mina ignored her bleeding leg and crawled her way to Ethan.
Marinaâs first reaction was to slap her. âHow could my son be taken by someone out of nowhere? Why
canât you take care of a child? How many timesâ¦â
