Every company estimated that the most it would be auctioned three times more. Five-fold was the peak, and this was because the other party was Violet. However, at that moment, the first price Carson offered was already at an exorbitant price. His intention was clear. He was planning to win!

Instantly, everyone there was bewildered. Thus, no one was bidding for some time.

Everly, on stage, only paused for a little while before smiling at the crowd. She said, "Mr. Baxter, how generous."

This stirred the crowd.

Although tenfold was way beyond expectations, people who intentionally came to the bidding had not mind. Thus, someone raised their paddles.

"Elevenfold."

"Thirteen."

Continuously, after a round of bidding, Carson once again raised his paddle.

"One hundred."

Everyone there looked at him.

Carson only bade twice, but each time he named his price he made the others cowered and flinch.

By that time, no one dared to bid anymore. The price was enough to make most of the corp

    Carson said, "Double the previous offer, plus five percent of the Baxter Group's shares.""Carson!""Mr. Baxter!""My God!"Everyone was stunned. The Baxter Group had already become a humongous empire. Even 0.1 percent of shares would be more worth all the earnings of many small companies, let alone five percent! Many of the higher-level managers in the group did not even own one percent of the shares! Also, the family members of the Baxters securely own 80 percent of the shares. Carson has 55 percent. The five percent he was giving away was a limit! The entire showroom was instantly silenced, followed by a loud cacophony of discussion. Breaking news spread all around just like that. It quickly overshadowed everything.However, in the showroom, Carson, who was in the eye of the storm, only looked at the smiling woman on stage. He cared for nothing else. He only wanted her.No one wanted to fight Carson anymore because everything could be bought with money. Even at a loss, it

    Lisa hushed her father with a gesture before looking outside.They were in the White Mansion, yet the three lived in the tiny and dark underground basement.Outside, Carson's men constantly kept watch on them.The Whites might seem glamourous to the public, but only they knew what sort of life they were living for the past year."We cannot let them hear us," Lisa said before huddling together with her parents."Now that Layla is finished, we can only blame it all on her. From the most recent news I got, Carson seemed to have treated Violet as Everly," Lisa said while looking at the news on her phone."What! Then…" Lisa's mother got agitated. Thus, she immediately covered her mouth and paced around the small house. She said anxiously, "What's going to happen to us if he really got together with Violet?""Mom, don't worry. Everly is already dead. Everyone knows about this. She can't just be revived. As for Violet, I'll think of a solution." Lisa comforted them."Violet…" Lisa slo

    Fifteen minutes before, Carson and Everly sat at opposite ends of the desk face to face in the private room of the event hall. She handed the contract to him. "Have a look, Mr. Baxter. Are there any objections?" she asked.Carson had not said anything. He read the contract and signed his name.Everly raised her eyebrows slightly as she watched Carson. She signed her name on another contract. With that, both sides exchanged signatures.Robbie was witnessing both of them. He smiled as they finished signing. "Violet, as you can see, Mr. Baxter had already signed the contract. Why are you still wearing a mask?""Mr. Robbie, there is a reason Violet wears a mask." Annie said immediately, "Mr. Baxter had not even questioned it. Why are you being nosy? You…" Before she could finish speaking, Everly raised her hands and interrupted her.She looked at Carson, who was sitting opposite her, and smiled. "Mr. Robbie is right, but I do have some difficulties. However..."She stretched her hand

    Robbie was relieved when he heard the news of Carson's return. He had been looking for him for the entire day. Robbie immediately arrived at Baxter Group and waited for Carson on the top floor of the company building. Ding!The executive elevator for the president door opened, and out came Carson Baxter. "Mr. Baxter!" greeted Robbie.As Carson approached him, Robbie sensed a smell of smoke emanating from him. He took a closer look at him and mentally sighed.Robbie knew how much Carson had missed Everly, but he was going just to get himself into more disappointments. Miss Pettis was already long gone and Violet was not Everly. It was impossible.'Mr. Baxter, this is all self-inflicting-torture,' Robbie thought.Carson went to the lounge to change his clothes. The smell of tobacco on his body disappeared as he came out again. Other than his slightly gloomy appearance, Carson seemed no different from any other day.Robbie breathed a sigh of relief.

    Robbie froze at Carson's request. 'What is the meaning of this?' he thought to himself.Blue was Miss Pettis's favorite color!Over the past year, women had tried to imitate Everly's preferences in order to get close to Carson. Naturally, there were many who dressed in blue, but they were all turned down angrily by Carson every single time. Many people even knew not to wear a blue outfit in front of him casually. It was considered taboo. However, this time…Carson clearly knew that Violet was not Everly. Moreover, Violet's favorite color was, not surprisingly, violet, as her name went. Yet, he still asked for a blue dress for her?What is going on?…The news of Violet's Studio moving into Baxter Group with 5% of the company shares spread like wildfire throughout the premises. Everyone was talking about it.Also, there was the news from the several supervisors who were previously given a personal explanation from Mr. Baxter that the 5% shares which were given to Violet were sole

    Richard's car stopped at the outside of the Four Seasons Hotel. Suddenly, the sound of high-heels approached him, and the door on the side of his car was suddenly pulled open. A woman came in directly and sat on the passenger seat."Richie! What's going on with that Violet from Carson's company!" The woman asked, covering her face, "Why do I keep hearing Carson was interested in her!""Alice Davidson!" said Richard angrily, as he glared at his little sister, who was wearing a black Diore dress. "I'm your elder brother. Stop calling me Richie! Have some respect, for goodness sake. How annoying!" "Alright, Big Brother, geez," Alice said. "Just tell me, it's not like you don't know. I have liked Carson for so long. Before this, dad had asked me to go to Belgravia, and I didn't have the time to attend Oliver's birthday party. You've promised to help me persuade Carson!" she urged.Alice would probably not have the time to return to Cannesville, if it wasn't for the fact that she had s

    Almost instantly, all eyes were on Violet. Chattering and gossip were heard among the crowd of people."Who is she? Why is she dressed in blue? She's going to be in a lot of trouble when Mr. Baxter sees her!""I have no idea. It looks like she's one of those girls who wants to get close to Mr. Baxter!""She's Violet. Since Mr. Baxter was willing to pay such a high price for her, she probably thought she could get away with anything! Just wait. She's going to make a fool out of herself!"…Alice looked at Richard, who was beside her. Her eyes were full of contempt. "Richie, is that Violet?" she asked.Richard frowned, his disgust for Violet seemingly deepened in his heart. "That's her," he said with a sneer.Alice raised an eyebrow slightly. She gave Violet a long look as she was walking in, "It seems that Violet is just as you've described, a self-righteous woman!" she said with a smile.Richard had not answered her.

    Everly wondered, 'Why does he look so pitiful? Is he going to ask me to be with me as he did before?'Meanwhile, Carson moved his eyes from her to the sunset on the horizon and said, "It's late."She looked across at the sea and the sky. The glorious declining sun gilded the sky.The salty sea wind swept over them.They gazed at the sunset until the fish suddenly struggled and startled Everly.It had been quietly staying in her hand for a while. She had forgotten that she was holding the fish. Thus, she subconsciously let go of the fish and shook Carson's hands off.The fish flopped back into the water and waved its tail to flee away."Oh, no. The fish has escaped. Dad, hurry up and catch it!" Oliver yelled. He had been squatting on the side so as not to disturb his parents. Carson and Oliver then chased after the fish.Everly slowly got up and stood there. The father and the son in white T-shirts were surrounding the big puddle. Everly felt strange while watching them.She wa

    She was a little embarrassed. After all, they hadn't been so close to each other for a long time. She felt a bit uncomfortable.So, she found a random topic. "Oliver still hasn't come back?""Maybe he couldn't find the bucket," he said, his chest vibrating. Not knowing how to pick up the conversation, she just looked at him. "Put the fish down," he said again after about three seconds. "But it will slip away," she blurted out. He paused, nodded, and hummed.Actually, she could place it somewhere dry rather than in the water... Then it couldn't slip away...She found herself so stupid. But she couldn't take back her words...She wondered, bit the bullet, and awkwardly held the fish. Should she say anything to defuse the awkward situation?She thought for a moment and asked, "What's your plan? I mean your career.""I haven't laid it out yet," he replied frankly. "I've been working for too long, and it's time to take a break. In the past, I didn't have time to hang

    Everly immediately put the crab into the small bucket.At this time, the bucket was filled with many crabs. Oliver looked inside and wore a bright smile."Wow! We got a lot of crabs today! My bucket is almost full!" Oliver said and looked back. When he saw the bucket in his dad's hand, Oliver took it and dumped all the crabs inside his own bucket into it. He then pushed it to Everly and said, "Wow. Aunt Violet caught so many crabs today. You are awesome!"Everly froze. She looked at Oliver's smiling face and understood what he meant.Oliver wanted her to take all the credit for catching those crabs."Oliver...""Aunt Violet! Look over there. There are bubbles coming out of that small hole. Let's go over there. There must be something in there!" As he said, Oliver carried his bucket and a small shovel and trotted over in his slippers. He ran to the hole and exclaimed, "Aunt Violet, come on! It is a big fish!""Go ahead. He likes playing with you," Carson said to Everly when she w

    "How do you know if they have contact in private?" The man asked as their car was waiting for a green light. The man's consecutive retorts annoyed Lisa. She looked in the rearview mirror at the man with chill eyes. "What do you mean? Are you trying to deliberately piss me off?" "No." The man replied. Then he paused for a few seconds and changed the subject. "So what are you going to do next?" 'Let Everly crash down to the hell!' During these days all their tactics were covert. They only took some subtle moves to test Carson, to see what was in Carson's mind. Now that Lisa had learned about it, then the next step she was up to was to put Everly through hell! "What's going on with Violet's studio now?" Lisa asked. "According to the information we got, it won't be long before Violet Studio and Baxter Group's collaboration on 'The Angel' is finished." The man replied. Before Lisa was about to respond, suddenly, her phone vibrated. Buzz--Lisa picked up her phone to check t

    Everly, Carson, and Oliver were playing on the beach. Meanwhile, Lisa came out of her villa to a car and talked to someone on the phone.She got into the passenger seat, smiled at the man in the driver's seat, and said, "I've just heard that the opposition faction of the Baxter Group changed their minds. They want to get Carson back."The man started the car without speaking. Lisa made up her face, smiled contentedly while looking into the mirror at her delicate figures, and continued, "I knew that the Baxter Group couldn't do well without Carson and that they would give in!"The car's tires squealed.The man suddenly braked."What are you doing?" Lisa growled at the man with a frown, hurriedly grabbing something to steady herself."Lisa, what the hell do you want?" the man said resignedly, "didn't you say that you just wanted to help your family out of trouble? I don't understand what you're thinking. Do you love Carson? Are you proud of him?""What's the problem with this?"

    While waving at her, Oliver murmured and walked in with Carson.Everly nodded with a smile. With the clothes in her hand, she got into the car and changed her clothes.The clothes were very simple, which were just a big white T-shirt and a pair of casual shorts. Looking at the clothes, she couldn't help wondering what Carson and Oliver would wear.She walked out, with her mind wandering. She saw Carson and Oliver not far away, both of whom were wearing a white vest and a pair of shorts to their knees. The color and style of their clothes were the same, except for the size.They two seemed to be talking about something, with buckets in their hands. Carson held a big bucket while Oliver held a small one. There was another bucket on the ground, obviously prepared for Everly.Noticing her coming, Oliver turned around and looked at her. "Aunt Violet!"Carson also looked up at her.Her heart was thumping faster inexplicably.‘He seems to be closer to me these days.’Maybe it was bec

    The shopkeeper felt embarrassed. He looked at Oliver and replied, "What? I couldn’t do that. Don’t talk nonsense."Oliver pouted and didn’t say anything. Carson patted his head and then looked at the shopkeeper.The shopkeeper already understood his meaning. So then he handed three sets of clothes to Everly and Carson, "You can rinse over there.""Thank you." Everly nodded, then they went there together.After lifting the curtain of the outdoor shower, Carson and Oliver both frowned slightly and looked at her at the same time.Everly was a little confused, so she asked, "What’s wrong?""You can change the clothes in the car." Carson opened his mouth.Oliver nodded and explained, "Right, Aunt Violet. This place has some leaks. It’s okay for me and dad, but it's not okay for you, and there’s no mud on you. It's just me falling into the mud puddle."Everly looked at him and then at Oliver, understanding what they meant.She nodded and pinched Oliver's face with a smile, "Okay,

    She immediately quickened her pace to rush over and snatched Oliver from Carson's hand."Hmm..."Before Oliver jumped into her arms and complained to her, Carson's cold voice sounded, "Stop. You're covered in mud."Oliver stopped immediately, looking down at himself, then he glared at Carson. Just a few seconds later, he sat down on a small rock and pointed to the big mud puddle beside him. "Aunt Violet, I just fell into it."Everly glanced in the direction that Oliver pointed to. There was indeed a mud puddle and a human shape was still there. Oliver's father just wiped his face. Otherwise, he could not be recognized.Looking at him sitting on that small rock and his aggrieved look, Everly thought he was so cute and couldn’t help laughing out loud, "Puff..."Hearing her laugh, Oliver turned his head. Everly immediately tried to hold back her laughter, but she failed."Ah! Aunt Violet, you laughed!” Oliver directly came down from the rock, sat in the mud, and childishly showed

    Yet the meeting room was quiet. No one spoke.If there had been a way to settle the matter, they would have dealt with it many days ago.And if they gave advice but failed in the end, they might have to take the blame."Why do you all keep silent? Didn't you have a lot of ideas at the very beginning?" the leader roared, slapping the table.However, no one answered.After a minute, someone trembled and said, "Then ... shall we find Carson and make him the president again?""What are you talking about?" The leader was even angrier.But another person said, "I think he's right. The share price is falling. We have less and less money. If it goes on like this, none of us can stand it. We'd better get Carson back... When he managed the company, the share price was rising.""You're looking down on yourself and flattering Carson!" the leader growled, "and the share price is falling.
