The butler on one side immediately smiled and said, “Where did you hear the rumors, Mr. Samberg? Miss Pettis was gone three years ago. How could she be alive?!”

Austin did not answer the butler’s words. His gaze was riveted on Carson, but the latter only looked at his laptop as if he had acquiesced to the butler’s words. He did not show any reaction.

There was another long silence, and only the sound of Carson tapping on the keyboard could be heard.

Austin could not help it anymore. He grasped Carson’s arm and broke the silence forcibly.

Carson slowly raised his eyes to look at Austin. His eyes were calm and he did not speak. He only looked at him coldly.

Austin stopped smiling. He locked Carson’s hand in his grip and said solemnly, “Carson, do you have any idea what the situation is?! Four years ago, Everly committed murder, and you personally sent her to prison and sentenced her to ten years. If what the rumor said is true, then she has escaped from the prison!”

    Clack!The sound of closing the door was heard, and then someone walked up to him.“Sir, Mr. Samberg has left,” the butler’s voice came.Carson lowered his eyes lightly, “Mm.”Then there was another long silence. Suddenly…Thump, thump, thump!There was a rush of footsteps, and then the servant’s voice echoed. “Sir, Miss Pettis has been taking a bath for a long time and has not come out! No matter how I knock on the door, there’s no response!”Carson raised his head and saw the servant’s flustered face.“Get the spare key!” the butler said anxiously. Carson was already on the move towards the bathroom.The conversation continued after Carson had left.“Didn't the young master say to keep her tied up? How can you let her take a bath by herself?!”“Uncle Benny, Miss Pettis drank the chicken soup obediently just now. I thought she had finally come to her senses, and then I didn’t think much… She choked when she drank the chicken soup and coughed all over her body. I was about t

    “Sorry…” she said hoarsely, “To have frightened you. I’ll leave now…”With that said, she stretched out her hand to open the car door and walked in the wind and snow.“Everly!” Austin finally realized it. The woman in front of him, who was so skinny and looked like a ghost, turned out to be Everly Pettis!He immediately opened the door and got out of the car. He wanted to say something, but he felt as if something was stuck in his throat and he could not get a word out.He watched Everly stumbling and struggling in the snow, desperately leaving the place. The wind and snow were so harsh that she even tripped and fell several times. He wanted to say something, but before he could do so, she had already crawled up and made her way through, disappearing in the corner.Austin’s heart was beating very fast. He felt his body trembling slightly as if he was beating a drum, but he knew that it was not because of the cold.The Baxter family was very influential in Cannesville. Carson was

    The snow was getting heavier and heavier. In the end, Carson could not catch up with Everly. He stood in the snow and the butler hurried over.“Sir, I’ve already contacted the people. They will check the surveillance camera to find out where Miss Pettis is hiding. It’s too cold outside. You should go back first,” the butler said worriedly.Carson did not move, nor did he look at the butler behind him. He watched the footprints of Everly disappearing in the falling snow, and clenched his fists tightly.…In the hospital.Everly carefully wrapped her body in a black cotton coat so that no one could see the wound on her neck. She then walked in with her head hanging low.It had been several days since she sent Granny Preston to the hospital. She wondered if Granny Preston had already woken up and if she was still in the hospital.She pushed the door of the ward open, and when she saw that Granny Preston was lying soundly on the bed, she let out a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Grann

    Everly lowered her head and walked on the road covered in thick snow. The white snow fell on her black hair, piece by piece, seemingly to dye all her black hair white.She went to apply for a job from one place to another, asking and pleading along the way. However, nobody dared to accept her, just as before. Even when she walked into the disorderly house, all she got was ruthless humiliation.“Just look at yourself, you looked horrible! Do you really think anyone can just open their legs and get money? You look at our girls. They don’t only demand good-looking ones, but also those who know how to have fun. Customers here are no ordinary people, and the likes of you…” The staff member looked at her disgustingly. The disdain in her eyes was obvious.“You’ll only be despised even if you pay money for it!”She was cast out instantly. After she stood up, she immediately saw the bodyguards coming over.She turned around and fled.She hid in the bushes, and her body was covered with sn

    The voice of Carson talking over the corner was still resonating intermittently, but Everly had already turned away and left. She disappeared in the windy snow with her head lowered.She would never forget everything that had happened over the years, nor would she forget Bonnie, who died for her. Also, Granny Preston who was still bedridden in the hospital.She could no longer look back.The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the whole city seemed to be frozen.Everly lowered her head and walked across the cold street. Along the street, silence and noise interchanged as people passed by her. She seemed to be only a passerby in this world, only making a fleeting stay and leaving no trace behind.She asked one store after another, and no one wanted to hire her.Moreover… Carson’s people were still stopping her constantly.It was so cold that her joints were frozen hard. The breath she exhaled made her freeze, and the coldness was bone-chilling.When passing by a 24-hour co

    As she said, she also glanced at the hole on the ice next to her. It was pitch black underneath and looked horrible.The plump man reached out and poked her arm. He was relieved after he was sure that she was a living human. He looked at his subordinates sitting next to him, and then said, “The machine below is stuck and can’t function. We need someone to go down there and remove whatever is stopping it.”Everly nodded, “I just need to clean things up?”“Yeah,” the man paused for a while and took a serious glance at Everly. He asked, “You… really want to go down? Since you heard what we said, you should have understood that once you go down there, we can’t promise you that you can get up.”“Yeah, young lady. You may not understand, but it’s really dark in there. Although there will be lighting, the bottom is too deep and the lighting has limited range. There will be equipment for you when you go down, and you’ll be tied to a cable, but who knows, maybe something will get stuck? And

    Spider web-like cracks spread across the entire screen. Carson’s eyes narrowed tightly to stare at Everly on the screen, and the temperature inside the car dropped.“Sir, our people have already rushed over there at the highest speed. Miss Pettis will be fine!” The butler kept saying, but he only fixed his gaze on the cracked screen of the tablet with a grim face.It was already five in the morning, and the sky spanning between heaven and earth was dark. The Masheruti rushed all the way to the western suburbs at the highest speed.Screech!“Sir, right ahead,” the butler said as he stopped the car. Before the car came to a complete halt, the butler looked around and found that Carson had already gotten out of the car. He strode over to the other side hurriedly.“Man, that woman was really scary just now. It’s the first time I have seen this!”“Yes, she just went down for twenty thousand dollars. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. She took the money and left, otherwise who know

    Carson looked at the screen on the cracked tablet showing how she took the money, and said, “Go check, what does she want the money for!”“Yes!”The butler responded. He gave instructions over the phone while making a U-turn with the car. The snow outside of the window was still falling. Carson looked at the black cotton coat Everly left on the boat through the surveillance camera. She then stumbled her way to leave the place. Carson pursed his lips into a deadly thin line.What did she want to do?!…Hospital.Everly handed over the money. The sum made up the money she owed before, and the outstanding amount was pre-paid for the upcoming medical fees.In this way, at least for half a month, there would be no problem with medical expenses.“It’s not the long-term solution for this. It’s better to have a kidney transplant.”“The surgery… How much will it cost?”“Generally speaking, it will be three thousand dollars to five thousand dollars. After that, the postoperative care w

    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. Their losses must be bigger than ours. They should be the most anxious!""But..." the person who had be
