Marina recalled something.
When a hefty sum of money was needed for Jeff's operation, a helpless Olivia had to pawn her
wedding ring for the money. At that time, she happened to run into Marina, who was picking jewelry.
Olivia crouched to pick the ring up while Marina watched the forlorn sight as though it was an
entertaining show.
In a blink of an eye, seven years had passed.
Now, the person standing high up there was Olivia.
"You're Vanessa? Did you approach me for revenge?" Marina lost the glow in her eyes. She had yet to
realize the gravity of the situation.
"Correct," replied Olivia softly. "This is an osteotome. It's specially structured for precise accuracy and
efficiency during bone-cutting.
"This is a rongeur, to hold the bones in place for the cutting. It helps with accuracy and stability too.

to Marina professionally.
"We'll forgo the anesthesia. I'll cut your skin open and then your bones."
Marina broke in a cold sweat. "You can't do this to me, Olivia Fordham!"
"Why not? Why can't I? I'm going to settle the score with you today once and for all." Olivia cut a line
over Marina's skin. Blood oozed out the trace left by the sharp edge of the scalpel.
Marina yelped in pain.
Olivia tilted her head. "Does it hurt? But I was hurt too when I saw you standing next to Ethan with a
round belly. You stole my husband, my clothes, my house, and my hospital. Forget about that, how
could you push me off the ship back then?"
The operation was ongoing, and Olivia moved with quick movements. "My baby and I almost died in
the sea. I was so sad for a long, long time."
The excruciating pain was burning Marina. Due to her recuperation, she could feel her legs now.
At that moment, she finally knew why Olivia would be so kind to treat her legs.
Olivia had been waiting for this day to come!
"S-Stop!"
Blood stained all over Olivia's gloves, so gory unlike her sweet smile. "Oh, and I did beg you to stop
too."
That snowy night replayed in Marina's head.
Olivia, who noticed Marina's intention, hugged her belly and retreated backward. "S-Stay away from
me."
Yet, there was an obsessive smile on Marina's face. "Give it a guess. If we jump into the sea at the
same time, would Ethan save you or me?"
"Stop playing childish games with me." Olivia simply wished to protect her baby. "Marina Carlton, stop
right there! You're pregnant too!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Marina didn't give a fig about the lives in her belly because they were Kurt's. She already had
an abortion in mind.
If she had not used them as leverage against Ethan, they would've been long gone.
Marina had everything in plan. Once she got married to Ethan, she would have as many kids as she
wanted.
Her future was bright, unlike Olivia's. Marina's higher chance of winning gave her the confidence to
gamble on her kids' lives.
The tear-stricken woman who once begged for mercy now stood before Marina but with a dazzling
smile this time.
"I told you to stop, but did you?" Olivia spread her hands.
The blood dripped from the scalpel to the ground, and she didn't lose her smile. "Welcome to my world,
Marina Carlton."
