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
"Everly! Does Carson…" Annie said anxiously. "Don't worry, I'll protect myself. I'll ask him to take me to the Baxter Residence. If all goes well, I'll be able to meet Oliver and gather evidence that he's been neglected or even treated harshly." Everly smiled "But Everly, if he…" Annie fidgeted. After all, this was not a small matter. Carson had the power to do whatever he wanted in Cannesville. If he really wanted to do something to Everly, she would not be able to do anything about it! "Annie, I can't miss this opportunity and…" Everly looked at the picture of Oliver with warmth in her eyes. "I haven't seen Oliver for a long time either, and I miss him so much. " Annie was about to say something else, but she stopped when she saw Everly's expression. She had followed Everly for about a year and had witnessed how Everly had persevered. She knew that Oliver was the only obsession in Everly's heart, so she could not convince her otherwise. Looking at Everly gently stroking
There was no expression on Carson's face, as he just sat opposite her. Alice gave a meaningful glance to the person waiting by the door, who immediately nodded. The news of Carson Baxter and Alice Davidson having dinner together at the restaurant immediately spread, causing countless people to discuss it. " Carson, you're here!" Alice said with a smile, then was about to ask someone to bring over the menu… "Robbie said you wanted to say to me?" Carson spoke calmly. "Yes! Carson, we still have a long night ahead of us. Let's chat after…" Alice Davidson smiled and said. "I still have things to do." Carson had not left her any leeway. Alice was slightly stunned. She was a bit angry, but she maintained her smile and said, "Well, I was too rude at the Baxter Group and Violet's celebration dinner before. I've wanted to apologize to you properly, and I thought it wasn't formal enough to say it over the phone. Therefore, this time I thought I'd ask you out to apologize to you prope
"She did it on purpose! Carson, you couldn't say anything to her because of the cooperation. So I reminded her when she went to the bathroom not to imitate Everly, but she pushed me to the ground. I was really angry, so I rushed out and poured campaign on her," Alice said angrily. "Carson, I was too impulsive and had not considered the occasion because I knew…the position of Everly in your heart can never be taken by anyone!" She looked at Carson Baxter fondly Carson 's lips were slightly pursed, and he looked towards Alice, who was sitting across the table. "What do you want to say?" he asked. The smile on Alice's face intensified as she said, "Carson, I had no other intention. I just think that Violet has gone too far. From what I've heard, it seems that she had not restrained herself these days and was even more reckless in Baxter Group!" "Carson, such things should not be condoned. She is so ungrateful. You should not put up with her just because we are now in a partnersh
Alice had not realised it yet, and continued, "In fact, you had been sad about Everly for far too long. Many other men would have started looking for another by now…" Carson stood up before she could finish. He turned around and walked outside. "Carson?" Alice immediately stood up and chased after him. "Carson, why are you leaving? I am not done with what I have to say." As soon as she raised her head, she saw Carson's cold and sharp eyes. For a moment, her words were blocked in her throat. He was angry! Only then had Alice realized that she had just been too complacent. She wanted to say something to prevent him from leaving but she could not think of anything. Carson had already walked to the door while she was in a daze. She immediately went after him once more. "Carson! Wait for me, listen to me…" Before she could touch Carson's arm, a person appeared in front of her. "Miss Davidson," Robbie said as he stopped her with one hand, then took a half step back. "Get
