Chapter 120
“Shut up,” Ethan said.
“Ethan, we’re the most compatible with each other. Olivia only loves your money. She can get with anyone as long as the price is right.”
Ethan ignored her and left.
Marina was angry. She walked toward the other side of the hall with her wine in hand.
She whispered something into Calista’s ears.
Calista was all talk. She had never actually hurt anyone before.
She had a nervous expression and said, “Are… are we really doing this?”
Marina smiled and said, “I have always trusted you, Calista. I believe you’re destined to do great things.
“If you can take care of this for me, I can promise you that there will be something for the Davieses at the Oakland Hospital.” “I will not let you down, Marina.”
Marina smiled with satisfaction. This was reality. People would do anything to satiate their greed.
“Olivia, how are you going to fight me with neither the resources nor anyone to back you up?” Marina thought to herself.
Olivia sat with Colin for a while longer. Colin was very gentlemanly and considerate.
“Nothing is happening at this hour. The buffet on this ship is decent.
“Do you want to grab some together, Olivia? There is still a lot I haven’t told you about Snowball.”
Olivia looked at the time. It was indeed still early. It was not yet time for the main event.
“Okay.”
They went to the buffet dining hall together. Ethan’s eyes were fixed on Olivia.
It was getting on his nerves that she was interacting with another man.
He was already regretting his decision to let her come out. He knew that she would be the center of attention no matter where she went.

“Yes, Mr. Miller.”
Violin music was playing in the restaurant.
There was a variety of foods from different countries. Colin went to the dessert table and picked up some mousse cakes for

“I remember that you used to love cake, Olivia.”
Marina had stood next to her on the deck. She had an arrogant smile on her face.
Marina had said, “Why don’t we have a bet? Who would Ethan rescue if we both fell into the ocean at the same time?”
The memory of that day pained Olivia deeply.
She grabbed the railing tightly. Her eyes were filled with despair.
Her expression scared Colin.
“What’s wrong, Olivia?”
Olivia’s thoughts drifted away from that painful memory.
She looked at the endless expanse of the ocean. It looked like a monster that could devour anything in the night.
She concealed the pain in her eyes and said in a gentle tone, “Colin, Snowball does not have long to live. She is already an old cat.”
Colin looked at her, confused. “Don’t worry, Olivia, I’ll take good care of her.”
“When she passes, can you please bury her under the plum tree at the Fordham residence?”
