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
She sat down opposite him and saw the red wine on the side.It used to be her favorite wine.It was also the wine they drank together that night.She looked at the wine and was silent for a while. She then lowered her eyes slightly.When she raised her gaze again, her eyes reflected nothing but clarity. She smiled at him and whispered, “Mr. Baxter?”He turned his head and glanced at her from head to toe. His eyes seemed to have a glint flashed through, too fast for her eyes to catch.“Mm,” he replied. He was more depressed now.She could not understand what he meant. After thinking for a while, she took the phone, switched to the news that he and Alice had dinner together, and asked, “Mr. Baxter, are you free? I got the news that you are going to be with Miss Davidson tonight.”He did not look at her but casually pointed to the wine on the side.He said nothing.However, she understood what he meant. She poured herself a glass and took a sip.It tasted familiar.She looked
Carson steered the wheel and made a turn. He drove into another road.The surrounding street scenery kept receding. He had not looked at the woman beside him. After confirming that Violet was not her, he thought about everything that had happened before, and then he made sense out of it.As Robbie said, all this woman’s actions had a purpose. She did not obediently dress in all the clothes he sent her as gifts. Rather, many of her actions seemed to be unintentionally similar to Everly’s.This woman seemed to know her very well and was very similar to her.However, he knew that it was not her.All he needed was an obedient doll, and no one could ever replace her.Carson pursed his lips tightly, and he furrowed his brows slightly. His hands had visible blue veins surfacing from holding the steering wheel too tightly.He did not say anything, and the atmosphere in Bendley was suffocatingly quiet.In such silence, the car drove all the way towards the suburbs.There were fewer and
