Olivia didn't expect the cover she had been keeping up for so long to be blown at that moment.
Linus slowly walked toward her.
"Mr. Heath, I can explain."
Linus slammed his fist on the dressing table, which caused Olivia to shudder.
"So you never lost your memories?" Linus said through gritted teeth.
Olivia knew there was no point in lying. So, she nodded. "Yes."
"That child that Krystal saw was Ethan's daughter?"
"Yes."
"You and Ethan …"
Olivia licked her lips. "It's complicated between us."
She didn't even know how to describe their relationship herself. She couldn't just say he went from her ex-husband to her sex friend, right? It was pretty ridiculous.
"So you …"
Olivia immediately said, "Mr. Heath, I'm indeed Ethan's ex-wife. Vanessa is my codename. I didn't create it to get closer to you or your family. I did it to keep myself safe."
"Keep yourself safe?"
"Some people have been after my life since a few years back. Even Ethan wasn't able to find who wanted me dead. I had no choice but to go into hiding and live my life with another identity.
"I actually hadn't seen Ethan for over three years. We were only reunited when he came to the village, and I helped him cure the poison he was afflicted with.
"As for saving your father's life, I didn't actually plan for that. I can't predict the future, and I didn't really want to be part of this mess."
Olivia stared at him intensely. "I don't care if you believe me or not, but I never intended to hurt your father."
