"My God!" yelled Alice as she looked at the documents. Austin tried to grab it back, but Alice quickly avoided him. She walked hastily towards Angelica and handed her the documents."Look at this!" she said to her, "If you have any doubts about our investigations, this document here from Austin is solid proof!"Alice looked at Violet and Austin and suddenly realized something. "I was just thinking, back then, during Oliver's birthday party, Violet had shown up under Austin's name. Was that the beginning of your master plan?!""How ambitious of you, Austin. Do you want to replace Carson?!" Alice continued. She was so excited her hands were constantly shaking. "No wonder I had never seen you appear together with him before, despite being told that you both had known each other. Austin stands here with Violet, with this document in his possession! What are you both up to?!" Alice asked loudly.Silence followed immediately. Angelica browsed through the documents. The contents inside
"Violet's reputation is ruined. I'm afraid no one would ever want to work with her anymore. Such a pity that she had to waste her artistic talents like this.""Pity? Who knows how a sly woman like her produced her works? Perhaps, they were all done through a means of blackmail, just as what she is doing now! We should all stay away from a woman like her!""Isn't that against the law?""Look, what is Mister Baxter trying to do?"…There were many discussions happening online in the midst of everything. Meanwhile, in the office, Carson took the document but did not look at it. He just fixed his dark eyes on Everly.Everly raised her head and looked back at him, understanding the situation at hand.The information which she gathered was already exposed. Even if Everly had tried to threaten Carson, the involvement of Angelica, Alice and Lisa had ruined the plan. Due to her actions, she was also now completely under their mercy. Everly did not care about anything else. All she want
The viewers of the live broadcast were in complete shock at Violet's words.So was Alice.She could not help but feel over the edge at the moment. Initially, she was a little uncertain of her plan. However, Violet had openly threatened Carson, Alice knew she was done for!"How shameless of you, Violet!" Alice was stunned as she exclaimed, "Wow, you really had me in awe right now. I can't believe you are actually capable of doing such things!"Meanwhile, Angelica was furious, while Lisa was standing there, looking triumphant. On the other hand, Austin was beyond anxious, but there was nothing he could do.It seemed that one thing was certain today, Violet would lose her reputation and may even go to jail.Everly was well aware of the situation, but she just stared at Carson. "Give him to me!" she pleaded desperately.Everly already knew she lost.The moment Angelica came in, she had lost.Everly was not just about to give up!Everything had led up to this, and she was so close
Angelica was about to blow up in anger. Her son had been excellent since he was a child. It could be said that Carson had always been the pride of the Baxters for years to come. Naturally, they had no worries handing over Baxter Group to him as a result. However, he was about to give everything up for a woman! Even after knowing that she had ulterior motives!"Carson, are you crazy! Do you even know what you are doing?!" Angelica said furiously."Yes," Carson replied, still looking at Everly. "I'm well aware of what I'm doing. There's no doubt about this."Everyone was about to go insane.Before returning to Cannesville, Everly had agreed to Austin's despicable plan because she knew just how important Baxter Group was to Carson. She had put her own honor and values aside for this. It was all for nothing.Austin's hands were trembling uncontrollably as he watched the scene unfold.The Sambergs and the Baxters were family friends. Austin knew Baxter Group was a family business
Everly's body trembled slightly, not understanding what Carson just said.She did not actually want to take the company's information public. Her intentions were to use it as a threat against Carson so that he would surrender Oliver to her. However, things did not happen as she had hoped after he had said those words to her.On the surface, everybody thought that Violet had won. Deep down, Everly knew she had lost. It was a complete defeat.Initially, Everly had thought that Carson would blackmail her on the grounds of commercial crimes, but he did not even attempt to do so.Everything he did was beyond her expectations. Nothing was going according to plan. What now?Should they really take it public?Everly stared at Carson's dark eyes, not knowing what to do for the moment.Angelica and the others had no clue what they were talking about, but they were still shocked beyond words. Suddenly, Austin spoke up, "Carson, don't make this any more difficult for her. Do you really wa
"Miss Davidson, things are not exactly what they look like. Violet must have her own reasons for her actions. Whatever it is, it's still up to Mister Baxter to decide. Stop screaming. It's not going to change anything," said Robbie as he held Alice."Her own reasons?!" Alice was so angry she started tearing up. She stared at Robbie in disbelief and turned her head to Everly. "What could be the reason?! Carson is such an elegant person, yet he confessed to her in public! He even treated her when she was injured! He still wants to protect her after stealing company data! What other reason does she have?!""Robbie, are you out of your mind as well?!" continued Alice. "Don't forget, you are Carson's secretary, not Violet's! You've been with him for so many years. What are you going to do when Baxter Group no longer exists? How are you going to take care of yourself? Did Violet drug you as well?! Let go of me!" she screamed as she struggled in Robbie's grasp.Robbie did not know how to
Everly's hand almost got stepped on by the high heels. She quickly withdrew her hand and looked up subconsciously. It was Angelica.Angelica's eyes were full of anger. She pulled Everly up from the ground with incredible strength. "I've warned you!" she scolded her.Carson immediately came forward to stop her, but he could not overpower her. As a major shareholder of the company and a mother of Carson, Angelica could not tolerate Violet's behavior any longer!"Violet, who do you think you are? Do you think you can do whatever you please just because you got Carson's love?" said Angelica as she clasped Everly's arm. She saw Everly covering her face with the other hand and attempted to pull it away."Mom, stop it!" Carson quickly grabbed Angelica's hand to prevent her from pulling Everly's hand.This got Angelica even angrier. She stared at Everly with her teary eyes. "Look what you've done to my son. You think you are all mysterious under the mask. Let's see what your true face loo
Carson looked at Everly. His expression was still the same.Austin quickly came over to Everly and separated her from Carson.She quickly glanced at Austin, only to see his complicatedly anxious face.Lisa's voice came from the corner of the room. "Violet, explain yourself! Is this all plastic surgery?! Are you really Everly?!"Everly withdrew her gaze from Carson and looked at Lisa. "Scared?" she said to her with a cold smile.Everly did not want to reveal herself at first because she did not want Oliver to have high hopes and be disappointed. Moreover, it was also because of the Whites.Everly did not want the Whites to be involved in her plan of getting custody of Oliver. However, her true identity had been exposed, and everyone had seen her face. Everything that happened today was obviously Lisa fanning the flame. At this moment, the resentment between Everly and the Whites, especially Lisa, had been brought back to the table once again!"You!" cried Lisa, her hatred towards
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
