"Oliver, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for the way I've treated you in the past. I've been so caught up in my own issues that I never took the time to appreciate all that you've done for me and my family. You saved my son's life, and for that, I can never repay you."Oliver was surprised by Carter's words, but he appreciated the sentiment. "Thank you, Carter. I don't hold anything against you. I was just doing what I had to do to protect Carson."Carter nodded. "I know, but that doesn't mean I can't be grateful. You risked your life for my family, and I'll never forget that."As they talked, C

The two of them had never been close, and he had a feeling that this meeting wasn't going to end well.As he fidgeted with his hands, the door suddenly opened, and in walked Carter, looking every bit the arrogant and entitled man that he was. He took one look at Oliver and sneered."So, you finally decided to show up," he said, his voice dripping with disdain.Oliver bit his lip, trying to stay calm. "Yes, I'm here. What is this about?"Carter rolled his eyes. "Don't play dumb, Oliver. You know why we're here."Oliver felt a sinking feeling in his stomach.

You’re making unfounded assumptions.”"Oliver, I don't understand why you had to steal Merideth from me. She was my wife, and you knew how much she meant to me," Carter said angrily."I didn't steal Merideth from you. She cried on my s

While Oliver knew the accusation was unfounded, he couldn't help but feel guilty.Oliver rubbed his temples, fighting off a headache that had been growing all day. He couldn't believe the mess he had found himself in. To add insult to injury, Carter had decided to challenge him to marry another woman, to prove that he did not have any interest in Meredith.

He turned to see his stepbrother, Jack, and Jack's wife, Sarah, walking towards him."Beautiful, isn't it?" Jack said, standing next to Oliver and gazing out at the sea."Yeah," Oliver replied, nodding his head. "It's incredible."Sarah stepped closer to them, a small smile on her face, but Oliver could see the tightness in her jaw, the way her eyes narrowed slightly when she looked at him. He knew she didn't like him, didn't approve of him, and he couldn't help but feel like an intruder in their family."It's lovely, d
CHAPTER 171
Oliver sat on the edge of his bed, staring blankly at his phone. The message from his step-brother, Carter, still flickered on the screen."Hey, man.

Oliver sat in his apartment, staring at the saved CCTV footage on his laptop screen. He had been watching it over and over again for hours, trying to figure out if he recognized the person who had tried to burn down their building.Carter, his stepbrother, walked into the room and sat down next to him. "Anything new?" he asked.Oliver shook his head. "I've watched this thing a million times and I still can't make out his face. But I know he's in this building somewhere."Carter leaned forward and looked at the screen. "Maybe we should start asking around, see if anyone saw anything."Oliver sighed. "We've already asked everyone in the building. No one saw anything."Carter crossed his arms. "Well, we can't just give up. Our home was almost burned down. We need to find this guy and make sure he doesn't try anything like this again."Oliver nodded. "I know, I know. It's just frustrating."Carter stood up. "Come on, let's go talk to some of the neighbors again. Maybe someone will remembe
