Olivia was speechless. She even started to suspect that Wayne came all the way to Aldenvine for her.

After she comforted Molly, she rolled up her sleeve and left. She was ready to teach him a lesson.

Before she reached the living room, she heard a man yelling angrily. "Why is it you? Get out of here!"

Ethan was holding a cotton ball with tweezers in one hand and a bottle of medical alcohol. He looked like he was about to pour that alcohol on Wayne and set him on fire.

Ethan said gruffly, "Didn't you refuse all the doctors? Well, I'm not a doctor. I'll take good care of you. Brent, hold him down."

“Yes, Mr. Miller,” Brent said as he came forward with several bodyguards.

The voices made Olivia think about something. When the people in the village wanted to butcher a pig, they would round up the strong and fit villagers and hold the pig down. The butcher would then kill the pig personally.

Wayne was like that pig waiting to be butchered.

Ike also came forward and stood in Brent's way. Both sides were staring each other down.

"Enough! Please stop this ridiculousness." Mason set his teacup down. He knew that Ethan and Wayne held a grudge against each other. Both of them lost an important subordinate to the other.

So, they would get worked up whenever they saw each other. They had also been competing against each other over the years. This was the first ime they brought their conflict to his doorstep.

Although the living room was spacious, it still felt a little tight, with so many people having a standoff in the room.

Wayne's collar was buttoned, and he had a cold expression on his face. He wasn't as nonchalant as he was when he was alone with Olivia. He finally looked like the leader of a country for once.

"Mr. Heath, is this how you Arlandians treat your guests? My face was scratched, yet I didn't even receive an apology. And you're even sending a disgusting man like him to deal with me."

Everyone knew what kind of man Wayne was. But he seemingly didn't do anything to Olivia while she hit him and yelled at him. They were at fault here.

Mason looked at the scratch marks on his face. It was something he never thought he would see. He suppressed his urge to smile and tried to keep a straight face.

"According to what I heard, you were the one who'd forced Olivia into your car. Then, the incident happened. It's only natural that she freaked out and did something overly violent like that."

He was implying that Wayne shouldn't have forced Olivia into his car and that he deserved everything that happened to him.

Wayne sneered. "I've heard that the Heaths are overprotective, but I've finally seen for myself. I gave Ms. Heath a ride out of the kindness of my heart because it was getting late, and I feared for her safety.” "Without your so-called kindness, she wouldn't have been involved in that chaos. I think it was just karma getting back at you," Ethan chided. Wayne narrowed his eyes. "This reminds me, Mr. Miller. When that man tried to kill me, I heard Ms. Heath calling out his name. She seemed to be close to him. Does this mean that the Heaths were the ones trying to kill me?"

If that accusation stuck, it would cause an international incident. Mason's expression changed slightly.

Then, Olivia spoke up.

"Mr. Maxwell, I see you still love joking around.”

Olivia knew that she was the one that caused the trouble. She was the one who tried to steal the ring. She also called out to Jack in the spur of the moment when he got shot.

None of that had to do with the Heath family. She didn't want to cause trouble for Mason.

She had showered and changed into a new set of clothes. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Wayne looked at her face and said meaningfully, “Whether it's a joke depends entirely on you, Ms. Heath."
