Joshua’s explanation sounded bulletproof at first, but Olivia had her suspicions. The amount required was
over 300 million dollars, not three thousand or 30 thousand.
Besides, no one knew how high the bid was going to get. The money Keith had to lend would be more
than 300 million dollars.
Keith’s family was well-off, but he came from a family of doctors. Did they even have several hundred
million in cash?
She was just a friend, not his lover.
Also, how did he get in contact with the mercenaries? It wasn’t out of the realm of possibility for Keith,
but it didn’t seem like something he would do.
But who would help her out other than Keith? It couldn’t be Ethan, could it?
Olivia shook her head when she thought about him. He was still in Vuckburg. He couldn’t get there in time
even if he wanted to.
If it were indeed Ethan, he would’ve taken her away. He wouldn’t allow her and her child to roam free.
“Yes. It was a very close call. Logan and I tried all sorts of ways to gather the money. Mr. Rogers was also
panicking. We couldn’t have saved you if he didn’t somehow get that money.”
Olivia was stunned. “That much money…”
“That’s why I say Mr. Rogers is such a reliable man. He came through when we needed him the most. In
the situation you were in, we probably couldn’t have saved you if someone else won the bid on you.”
Joshua continued to describe the situation vividly.
Olivia only knew she had been rescued. She didn’t know that the luxurious cruise ship had been destroyed.
What did its passengers go through?
Ethan, vengeful as he was, gave every man who spoke ill of Olivia a beating. They would be bedridden for weeks after they got off the ship.
“Where did L-Logan go?” Olivia finally asked.
Joshua scratched his head and said, “Logan told me that his agreement with you was he would leave when you arrived somewhere safe, Ms. Fordham. He told me to keep you safe. As per the agreement, he
has left.”

Olivia knew Logan did it for her sake. He didn’t want her to feel awkward in his presence, so he chose to
leave.
She really didn’t know what to say about him.
“Sorry for the trouble.”
‘You don’t have to be so courteous, Ms. Fordham. I’m very close with Logan. Besides, I get paid helping
him take care of you. It’s a good thing for me too.”
Olivia took her phone out and called Keith. She needed some answers.
‘Olivia, how are you? Are you okay? Logan contacted me out of the blue last night. I didn’t know why
something so horrible would happen. It was so scary,” Keith said in a gentle tone.
Was it really Keith who helped her out?
“How did you manage to come up with so much money?”
“I borrowed some from the Tuckers. Money doesn’t mean much compared to your safety.”
Olivia frowned. “Give me your account number. I’ll transfer you the money in a bit.”
“You’re in Aldenvine now. Ethan will know if you move the money.”
“I don’t care about that. I can’t hide forever. I can’t just let you spend so much money for my sake. It’s not
a couple hundred dollars we’re talking about.”
That was a huge amount of cash. It could cause Keith’s family business to become illiquid. Or if he had to
borrow the money from loan sharks, he would incur a lot of debt based on interest alone.
Besides, Keith took care of the expenses in the six months she was recovering from chemotherapy. He
also arranged everything for the cruise back to Aldenvine.
They were not even relatives. He was also not running a charity. Olivia had been feeling bad about relying
on him so much.
“It’s fine, really. Your safety comes first.”
“Give me your account number, or I’ll just bring the money to your house.”
