Alice saw Violet going in the direction of the restroom. She made up an excuse to leave the crowd. "Excuse me, I need to go to the washroom," she said.In the restroom, Violet had just finished putting on her makeup when she turned around and saw Alice standing on the side."Who are you?" Everly asked suspiciously.Alice stared viciously at the woman in front of him, then sneered and said, "Are you trying to get close to Carson? My advice to you, don't even think about it! Carson will never set his eyes on the likes of you!"Hmm?Violet laughed. She looked at Alice and said, "There's nothing going on between Mr. Baxter and me. Even if there was, it's none of your concern. You came all the way here to tell me these. Does this all mean that he's interested in me?""Carson is not interested in you!" Alice retorted. She took a step forward as she stared at Everly, "It's a taboo that you wore this dress! If it weren't for me telling Carson to give you another chance, you wouldn't even
Violet laughed all of a sudden. She lowered her head and looked at Alice, who was staring back at her. Violet put the towel aside, then turned around and walked away."Violet! I had asked Carson to forgive you! How dare you push me! You're not getting away without an apology!" Alice screamed as she rushed towards Everly, attempting to block her path.Everly was not going to let Alice have things her way. She hastened her pace and quickly stepped to the side. Alice, who was about to reach out to Everly, missed her and stepped on the spilled champagne on the floor. She lost her balance and slipped to the ground."Miss Davidson is so kind to give me such a warm welcome. I'm flattered," sneered Everly as she glanced down at Alice, who was in a state of embarrassment on the floor. She then looked at the people around her with a half-smile, and said, "This party was really fun, but my dress is all messed up now. I think I will take my leave. If you'll excuse me."Everly turned around and
"Let go of me! I'm going to get her! She must apologize!" There was a commotion. Robbie looked at the source of the noise.Richard had brought Alice to the second floor, and he could not continue to let her be the center of embarrassment in front of everyone."She did it on purpose. She knew who I was, yet she still pushed me! She made me make a fool of myself in front of everyone! I want to see Carson! I…" Alice's wailing voice was incessant.Robbie took a careful look at Carson on the side and said, "Mr. Baxter, Ms. Davidson..."Before Carson could answer, Alice rushed over all of a sudden. She burst into tears. The makeup on her face was all messed up. "Carson, I was bullied by Violet." Alice cried, "She embarrassed me in front of everybody!"Carson had not reacted, and seemed to be completely indifferent to this matter.Alice was not having it. She still believed that Violet was a nobody. She was even persuaded by her own words previously, that Carson did not do anything to
"Also, this is a good sign." Richard said while wiping away the tears on Alice's face, "Carson is doing all these for his foreign business expansion. Unlike before, where he would put everything aside when it comes to Everly.""What do you mean?" Alice was still a little confused.Richard pinched Alice's nose playfully and said, "It means that Everly is no longer the most important person in his heart. Eventually, he would forget about her, as she is already dead. And the only person left for him is either you or Lisa White. As you've known what happened, Carson had wanted to destroy the Whites for what they did to Everly. If it weren't for Aunt Baxter's intervention to protect them, they would have all been thrown into prison already. Even so, we both know the kind of life the Whites are living at the moment, don't we?"Alice nodded. She and Richard both did not know many details of what had happened. Everything they have understood so far was only the tip of the iceberg. Nonethele
The scenes on the streets receded constantly, and the shadows of the surrounding trees ran along Carson's face as he drove.The pedestrians on the road were looking cheerful for some reason. However, it had not mattered to Carson, as if he was in his own world, out of tune with reality at the moment.Carson was like a robot, mechanically controlling his Bendley with no emotions as it brought him back to the Baxter Residence.Carson opened the door, turned on the light, walked into the hallway, and changed his shoes. His dark eyes were filled with melancholy and silence as he stared at the empty house."Sir!" said the butler as he came over."Is Oliver asleep?" Carson asked.The butler smiled and nodded. "The young Sir was very obedient. He fell asleep after finishing his schoolwork.""Mmm," Carson responded. He walked up to the second floor and opened Oliver's bedroom door. He looked inside, making sure that Oliver was asleep, and closed the door again."Sir, how was the banque
The video stopped and started replaying from the start as Carson just continued watching tirelessly. The footage looped over and over again the entire night till dawn.It was until the door of the projection room was pushed open, and the morning light came breaking into the dark room, that it interrupted Carson."Dad…"A tiny silhouette in pajamas stood at the door. He yawned and rubbed his eyes as he walked slowly toward Carson.Carson turned around and saw Oliver standing beside him. He reached out and stroked his head."You're thinking about mom again," Oliver said, hugging Carson with open arms.Carson embraced Oliver and patted him on the back.Shortly after, Carson led Oliver out of the projection room."I don't know when mom will be cured. I miss her so much," Oliver said as he held Carson's hand. They both went on and did their morning routines together.…Meanwhile, Everly looked at the opened gift box on the table in the Orchid Garden. There was a bag inside.This
On the other side abroad, Austin Samberg held his phone to his ears silently.In the end, he said, "Good that you've remembered."After a short pause, he continued, "I will deal with my affairs in Strandia as soon as possible, and I'll return to Cannesville after that.""Austin...Thank you," Everly said.Moments later, Austin hung up the phone. He walked to the side and sorted out Everly's previous medical records. He sighed deeply.On his side, his secretary looked at him worriedly. "Mr. Samberg, there is no need for you to feel guilty. Back when we brought Miss Pettis to Strandia, even the best doctors said that she was untreatable. Even worse, Miss Pettis doesn't even have the will to live at all. In order to motivate her to continue living, you've forged the video of Baxter Jr. being abused and lied to her that Mr. Baxter was not treating him well. You kept telling her if she doesn't survive, Oliver will suffer for the rest of his life."He continued, "Although this had cause
Violet became a joke. Everyone knew that Violet herself likes the flower violets, and she tends to be mature, intellectual, and mysterious in her usual clothes. However, since she entered the Baxter Group, her daily clothes have been either blue or white. Her previous curly hair became straight, and she went farther and farther from the innocent style. Although she looked pretty like this, perhaps because of preconceptions, everyone thought that her appearance had not matched her own personality at all. After all, she looked even stranger with a mask on her face. "Violet sure knows how to manipulate the situation. She has to dress up like this; who does she want to fool!" "You don't know that she's trying to seduce Mr. Baxter!" "How so?" "Who doesn't know that blue is a forbidden color for Mr. Baxter because blue was her favorite color. Many women have tried to imitate her to get close to Mr. Baxter before, but they were all blown away in the end. Violet did this on purpose
