"Violet, I've tried to stop them. As soon as I got in, I got beaten up. I can't do anything. Let them fight. I'll just protect Oliver here," Robbie said."I think Uncle Robbie is right!" Oliver said. Only at this moment did Everly notice that he was huddling behind Robbie.Oliver looked at the two brawling women in front of him. He kept nodding his head while feeling scared. "Who knew that a fight among girls would be so terrifying… I need to protect myself in the future. You too, Uncle Robbie!" said Oliver.Everly was stunned for a moment, it seemed that Oliver was really frightened by what was happening."Stop it, you two!" Everly yelled as she looked helplessly at Alice and Annie, who were rolling around the floor."Violet! Why did you even show up!" Alice shouted. She got up immediately and attempted to throw a punch at Everly, but she was instantly pushed away by Annie.Knowing the fight between the two would become even more uncontrollable, Everly quickly looked over to Rob
As Annie got a hold of herself, she looked at Everly and Oliver embarrassingly."Violet, Oliver, I..." she muttered.Everly patted her shoulder while Oliver also tapped on her arm lightly."It's alright, let's not fight again next time," Everly said softly. She knew Annie had got into a fight with Alice because of her. "Annie, she is from the Davidsons. It'll be troublesome if they come looking for you later. Let's not do anything rash.""Yeah, Aunt Annie. Look at you. Your head is bleeding. Go clean it up," Oliver said worriedly. He knew Annie had always been with his mother. This time, she had even stood up for her and fought Alice. Annie had definitely won Oliver's respect, and he was very fond of her.Annie was embarrassed that even Oliver was there to comfort her. She looked at Everly and murmured, "Violet…""It's okay, just go. Oliver and I will be fine." Everly smiled and nodded at Annie."Alright." Annie nodded. She looked at Oliver again and smiled. "Oliver, sorry for s
"Mister Baxter, Miss Davidson was making a lot of commotion. I have sent her back to her office. Tracey is taking care of her, and a few security guards are stationed out at her door now. Shall I inform the rest of the Davidsons?" Robbie asked, not answering Carson's previous question.Carson looked at Robbie and said, "Yes, let them know. They probably already know what I did today.""Right away!" Robbie nodded, immediately understanding Carson's intention. From the beginning, Carson was firm with his intentions of not marrying the Davidsons. However, his mother, Angelica Alexander, was the only person fond of Alice. After what happened, now is a perhaps good time to inform them to drop the idea of a potential marriage."Also, this is the latest model sent by the designer. Mister Baxter, please take a look." Robbie handed a tablet over."Mmm," Carson murmured as he took the tablet."Plus, according to what Oliver said, you have two kinds of cars. One is the extended custom-made R
After Carson had decided to pursue Everly, he had ordered an investigation team on her.They interviewed Everly's close friends in the past and found many aspects of things related to her. All these so that Carson could find a way to get closer to Everly.He knew that he could not be forgiven, but he still wished to be with her. He had wanted her for a very long time.…Meanwhile, Everly held Oliver's hand as they came to the street together.Oliver did not want her to drive, and so they went there on foot."Dad is usually busy, so he can't take me out to play. Although Uncle Robbie and the others are very close to me, they can't treat me as an ordinary child, and it would be cumbersome for them to bring me out. Therefore, I don't want to trouble them," Oliver said.Everly looked at him with a little sadness and guilt in her eyes. "Do you like to go out and play?" she asked."Yes, I do!" Oliver's face lit up excitedly as he replied to Everly. This expression of him is definitel
Alice stood up immediately and said, "No! I have to stop her! If she wants to be with Carson, Oliver will be an obstacle in her plan. What if she does something terrible to him later!"Tracey came and stopped Alice immediately, "Miss Davidson, it's useless. Robbie had ordered the guards outside. We couldn't get out!""Then what are we supposed to do!" Alice said anxiously. Although Oliver was Everly's child, she was still very fond of him.In addition, with Oliver around, Alice had more potential to become the future wife of Carson Baxter."Actually, I don't think you need to worry, Miss Davidson. After all, Mister Baxter should be aware that Oliver had gone out with Violet. When Oliver has a problem with his diet, Mister Baxter would only have Violet to blame. This has nothing to do with you. All you have to do is wait," Tracey advised.Alice thought about what Tracey said carefully. "You're right. I will wait for Oliver to develop a bad stomach, and then I will go to Carson and
Seeing Oliver's happy looks, Everly could not help but laugh as well. In the meantime, a woman was in her car, observing them carefully from the other side of the streets.The woman also secretly took pictures of them both eating together."Heh!"She started dialing on her phone as she looked at the contents of her photos."It's all done. Don't worry. Things will go as we expected. Didn't you say she didn't agree to Carson's confession? This means we still have room to turn around," the woman said on her phone. She looked in the direction of the Cannesville Fried Chicken restaurant with cautious eyes. "Whether she's being pretentious or playing hard to get, it doesn't matter. Whatever it is, Violet will not succeed."…Back in the president's office of Baxter Group, Richard Davidson was staring angrily at Robbie. He said to him, "Get out of the way! My sister just got into a fight! We, the Davidsons, had never beaten her growing up, yet now some random secretary had just picked
"What?!" Richard shouted furiously. He was one of the future heirs of the Davidsons. How dare they make him wait!Suddenly, Alice's voice of grievance came from afar. "Richie, it was her! She hit me!" she cried."So, you are the culprit!" Richard said as he scanned Annie from the bottom to top angrily.…Meanwhile, Everly went shopping with Oliver at various places after their meal. She got him many new clothes and toys. They had so much fun, and they even took a group photo together.Time flew by, and the sky had already turned dark before they knew it. Oliver seemed tired as he kept yawning and rubbing his eyes constantly. Everly checked the time, it was 9 o'clock. "Oliver, let's go home, okay?" she said to him.Oliver nodded and said softly, "Okay." He was so sleepy he could not even walk straight.Everly squatted down and said to Oliver, "Come, let me carry you back.""Okay," said Oliver. He did not resist and just climbed on Everly's back and laid his head on her shoulders
The two bodyguards stopped bickering immediately. One of them opened the door while the other carried the stuff. Together, they escorted Everly and Oliver into the Rose Pavilion.Aunt Emma, the housemaid, came to the door as she heard them. "What's going on?" she asked worriedly as she saw Oliver lying on Everly's shoulder."Mister Baxter Jr. fell asleep, and Miss Violet brought him back," the bodyguard explained. The maid quickly led the way to Oliver's room.Oliver was four years old and had gained some weight. It was not easy for Everly to carry him to his room on the second floor. She just recovered from a serious illness after all. As she put Oliver to bed, her clothes were already soaked with her sweat, and her hands shook lightly."Miss Violet, I can take it from here. Please go have a rest," the maid said quietly.Everly shook her hand and replied to the maid, "He had a lot of fun going out today, running and jumping all over the place. He was sweating so much. He needs to
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
