Chapter 106
Kelvin quickly held on to Olivia, supporting her.
She managed to fight the drowsiness away.
“Mrs. Miller, are you alright? I’ll take you to the hospital.”
She shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m low on sugar. That’s it.”
She was aware that her body had reached its limit after she fought with Marina and saved Connor.
Kelvin observed her, anxious. “But why do I feel that you’re getting weaker?”
“I’m really fine. Please take me home.”
After she left, Brent returned to the manor with medicines.
The cold compression and the medicines managed to mitigate Connor’s allergic reaction before it
became worse.
Ethan patiently checked on Connor.
Obviously, Olivia had protected him well. That was why he was unscathed.
It had been a rough day for Connor. Exhausted, he eventually fell asleep in Ethan’s arms while
clutching his shirt.
He entrusted Connor to Mina.

Marina approached Ethan with a vulnerable expression. “Ethan, you have to believe me. Olivia came to
retrieve the Fordham residence.
“She made a honey cake to please me. But she became vulgar with her words after I refused to give
her the residence.
“She even threatened me with a knife! The maids protected me by snatching the knife from her.
“Then, she held Connor hostage. Fortunately, you came back in time. Otherwise, it would’ve been a
tragedy.”
Her story was full of loopholes.
Ethan didn’t want to and couldn’t care less about this pointless subject. He cut to the chase. “I want the
Fordham residence.” Marina was shell–shocked. Without the Fordham residence in her hands, she
didn’t have a trump card to oppress Olivia.
Thus, she would never hand over the residence to anyone else.
She walked up to him. “Ethan, you gotta believe me. Olivia seriously has a knack for acting-”
”
He shoved her away. “I know her better than you. And I know you all too well. I did not intervene in your
matters, but that doesn’t mean I’m blind.
“Marina Carlton. I’ve granted all of your wishes, so do not cross the line. Don’t let Jethro’s sacrifice be
in vain. This is the last time.” He stood up.
She pleaded, “But I’ve asked someone to proceed with the-”
Ethan’s icy gaze landed on her, exuding a murderous intent. “This is not a negotiation. I’m informing
you. Take good care of Connor, and stop wasting your time on useless matters.
“If you keep testing my patience, I can’t guarantee you that I will show up at the engagement party.”
He then left.
Despite his calm tone, it was a wake–up call for Marina because he had never spoken to her in that
way for the past two years.
“Bitch. Olivia Fordham! That bitch!” She shoved everything from the table to the floor before going
upstairs with a grim expression.
Everyone in her sight was an eyesore to her. Even her cat was kicked for simply passing by.

Marina’s anger reached the roof when she saw Mina.
She slapped Mina in the face. “Useless trash! You had one job. And you can’t even look after a kid!”
Mina pursed her lips. Ethan had personally assigned her to look after Connor.
Thus, it was natural for Marina to vent her anger on Mina first.

But the truth didn’t matter to Marina.
Mina was used to Marina’s true character and didn’t dare to confront Marina.
The only thing she could do was to hang her head low and become the punching bag.
“The sheer sight of you hurts my eyes. Scram! Get out of my sight!” Marina ordered.
“Yes,”
Marina watched Connor, who was asleep. He resembled Ethan so much.
They resembled each other because Connor’s father was Ethan’s younger cousin.
However, it pained her to hear Connor hugging Olivia while calling “Mama.”
Marina woke Connor up. He was still sleepy when he murmured, “Mama.”
“Connor, could you say that again?” She was slightly excited. It was the first time he addressed her that
way!
He surpassed Erina in terms of intelligence and other aspects.
If Erina could call her that, there was no way Connor couldn’t do the same.
It was because he didn’t want to.
Connor noticed that Olivia wasn’t around as soon as he woke up.
Now that the person before him was Marina, his drowsy eyes regained their calmness.
He pursed his lips, not wanting to say a word.
Marina became anxious. “Connor, repeat it.”
He didn’t utter a word, let alone call her mother. His deadpan face was the same as Ethan’
