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

    Why was he here?How long had he been standing here?What did he know?About granny…At this moment, many thoughts flashed in Everly’s mind, but in the end, she just stood there blankly. She looked at his face that had not changed for many years as if time had frozen.There was only silence around them, and only the sound of falling snow seemed to be heard between heaven and earth.It felt as if only a moment had passed, but at the same time, it felt like a century. Everly could only stare at him.The blood that had just been suppressed surged upward again. The blood in her throat was gushing upward as if it was going to explode. She clenched her hands with so much strength that she trembled. In the end, she was the first to break it all.She turned around and ran with all her might. She wanted to get out of here as fast as possible, but at the next moment, her wrist was grasped by a gigantic palm. The momentum that she threw herself forward was stopped instantly, and she was f

    Anger.Why was his heart filling up with anger again?Because of her leaving?Why did he always give her the illusion that he actually cares about her?Was it because she was blinded, or was it because…She still had him in her heart?Again and again, she kept making excuses for his behavior.What a shame!The car engine started to roar, and the scenery outside kept moving backward. Her heart was in a mess.“You…”Just as he was about to lose patience again, she interrupted him. She looked at him like this, tried her best to be in control, and said hoarsely, “This is my business, not yours.”“Your business?” His eyes narrowed dangerously. She was still planning to hide it!He looked at her as if he could almost see through her. The aura around him became colder, and the depression became stronger as time passed. He said angrily, “Everly, do you really think you can hide it by simply saying that it’s your business?! You…”“My neck is torn, and I’m coming over here to fix it

    “Speak!” Carson’s eyes were bloodshot. He wanted so much to strangle her to death!There was only Carson’s roaring rage in the car, but no response from Everly was heard.The butler looked nervously at the two people in the rearview mirror, not knowing what to do.He had never seen the young master looking so angry.The young master had always been not demonstrative of his emotions. Especially after that incident happened, he was even better at hiding his emotions. However, he was so angry now that he had not bothered hiding his emotions…Looking at the impasse behind, the butler was also very anxious.“Miss Pettis, we have found out the truth of the matter, so don’t be stubborn with the young master.” The butler tried to make a breakthrough, “Just tell the truth to the young master, admit your mistake, and then go back with us. Be good and stay with us from now on, okay?”Everly looked at the receding scenery outside the car window. Her eyes were wet.The truth…Admit my mist

    Carson stared into the hatred in her eyes and was at a loss of words for a moment.He had not understood her. The bony woman in front of him was no longer the little girl who had been following behind him all the time. Four years ago, she told him that she loved him and had killed someone else in the name of love. Now, she was fighting him for another man!An unprecedented feeling swept over him. He was uncomfortable and angry, making him almost lose control of his emotions. He could not control such emotions. He could only clamp his hand tightly around her neck and let the anger in him rage on."How long have you been with him? Have you been with him since you were released from prison?""And the money. You risked your life to get the money. Why did you give them all to him? Do you want to live such a miserable life? Does it have to be with him?""Tell me!"He tightened his grip on her neck and roared, which scared the butler in the front. She started trembling."Why did I give

    There was a short moment of silence after the slap. Everly covered her face with her hand, and blood dripped from the corner of her mouth. She lowered her head, her long hair covering up the expression on her face.On the other hand, Carson's expression was as cold as ice. He clenched his fists, and the scabbed wound on his hand cracked again. Blood seeped through the gauze, crimson drops dripping down.The two people in the back seats were silent. The two of them had bloodshot eyes, but they had not said a word."Sir, Miss Everly...""Stop the car!" When the butler was about to say something, Everly barked at him in a hoarse voice."Miss Everly, this...""Let her go!" The butler was still thinking of what to say to refuse Everly, but then he heard a cold order from Carson.The butler still wanted to persuade them, but looking at the scene in the back seat, he finally decided to shut it and said yes. He then parked the car at the side of the road.Before the car stopped complet

    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.
