However, it was not Everly's intention to destroy the company but to leave Carson…She took the documents from him. It only took her a glance at it to become even more furious."You!" Angelica was so angry she threw the document back at Carson. “How dare you!” she said resentfully.Angelica glared at Carson, turned around, and left the room.Lisa followed her behind. Seeing that everyone was leaving, Alice also got up quickly and hurried out of the room. Carson and Robbie were the only ones left in the president's office.The documents which Angelica threw at Carson earlier were scattered around the floor. Carson reached out and picked them up, and stacked the papers together.Robbie also helped him out, “It's a good thing that I organized the documents. Otherwise, it would be troublesome now.”Carson just remained silent as he picked up the papers one after another.Robbie was feeling a little awkward. “How witty of you, Mister Baxter. The information in these documents was
Everly sat in the driver's seat of the Masheruti by herself. She leaned back on the seat and stared at the desolate and cold parking basement around her. In her mind, the episode in the president's office earlier with Carson kept replaying incessantly.Everly felt extreme sadness as she thought of Carson. His face, his words, everything. It all just kept looping in her head.She did not understand how things could wind up like this. The plan was to blackmail Carson with the information, and he would give her custody of Oliver in order to protect his company. Then, she would take her son and leave the country. However…Carson said that he could promise her anything except let her go.He…Everly could not understand anything at all. Her head was in a mess. All she felt was the emotional pain within.Buzz...Suddenly, her mobile phone started vibrating.Everly calmed herself down and grabbed her phone. It was Robbie.After a little hesitation, she touched the answer button. "Ro
Carson knew…He knew it all along…Yet he still allowed Everly to continue hurting him…Everly was overwhelmed with sadness. Her eyes became watery, and tears began falling drop by drop.She was feeling so much anguish within. It was as if her heart was being torn apart. She struggled to breathe, and the inner pain was unbearable.What is she going to do?She did not know the answer to that…Everly started to cry as she leaned her head against the steering wheel.…Meanwhile, all the way across overseas in Marestadt…John Logan was walking through the corridor of the manor in his residence.He was all anxious, and his footsteps hastened as he walked."Mister Logan!""Good afternoon, Mister Logan!"The servants in the manor all bowed to John. He nodded light back at them in response and headed towards the study room on the second floor. He reached out and knocked on the door."It's me. I'm coming in!" said John."Yes," a deep voice of a man came from the other side of th
"So what? You looked so frightened, just because of that?" Lisa sneered."Isn't that enough?!" Alice was about to cry. The moment she pulled Everly's hand and saw her face earlier, she thought she was having a nightmare. She was still pinching herself on the face, trying to wake herself up from this horrible dream. How could Lisa not worry about this?!"Lisa, why are you so calm? Don't tell me you already knew! How could you not tell me about this?! How could you do this to me!" Alice wailed. "Goodness, you are so annoying! What an idiot! If I knew Violet was Everly, would I still do this?!" Lisa exclaimed impatiently.She continued scolding Alice, "I would have just done everything secretly behind the scene. Why would I show up in the office? This time, Carson has also noticed me. Did you not know what he did to my family? Don't you know how miserable it is?!" Lisa got more furious the more she spoke.She did not expect this!She really did not see this coming!Back when Lisa
"You..." Alice's eyes widened in disbelief. She never thought that Lisa would actually frame her!Feeling contemptuous upon seeing Alice's shocked expression, Lisa said, "Why do you think Angelica was carrying all the burden on her shoulders earlier in the office without even mentioning both of our names? It's because she thought that you did it all, and she wanted to protect you. That's why.""Aunt Baxter...""Yeah, Angelica is really a good aunt. She thinks of you all the time, but do you know what her actions represent?" Lisa asked."It means even Angelica herself thinks you're behind everything!" "This…" muttered Alice."Who would believe you? There are only three suspects left. As long as Angelica and I think it's you, who do you think Carson will believe? Even if he doesn't trust me, he would definitely believe his own biological mother. Not to mention…You've shown hostility against Everly before. What do you think it's gonna be?" Lisa sneered.Alice was shocked, speechle
Alice was so angry she was speechless. Thinking that Alice had agreed to cooperate, Lisa said, "Very well, now all we have to do is to bring down Everly…""That's impossible!" interrupted Alice. Her eyes were all red as she looked out of the car window. "If it's anybody else, I would not even be afraid. This is Everly… I don't stand a chance against her.""So what if it's Everly?" Lisa said loudly, "Don't forget, Alice. You're the only one Angelica values! There's still hope. Do you want to do this? Or are you just gonna give up?"Alice did not answer Lisa. She just continued staring at the car window.She finally understood everything clearly.Carson had always treated Violet differently ever since she first appeared. Perhaps, he did not know her true identity initially and just used her as a substitute for Everly.Alice knew that Everly was her only opponent from the very start. However…At that moment when Carson gave Violet all the special rights of his company, perhaps he a
Alice quickly yanked her arm away as Lisa attempted to grab onto her again. She then ran towards her car. Tracey saw her from afar and immediately rushed over to get Alice into the vehicle. The car engine revved, and they left the premises hastily.Lisa was left alone. She was filled with anger as she watched Alice's car drive away."Alice! How dare you! This is all because of Everly!" Lisa screamed with her fists clenched.Lisa remembered all the sufferings she had gone through the past year. The hatred within her got stronger the more she thought about it."Heh! So what if you're still alive? I can still give you hell!" Lisa muttered. She stared at her bag for a moment and took her phone out of it. She proceeded to dial a number and made a call……Meanwhile, Everly was driving her Masheruti. Her phone suddenly vibrated.She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and took out her phone.The caller ID reminded her of a police number. Recalling what Robbie had told her ear
The truck crashed into her car once again.Everly's cell phone dropped from her hand and fell under the side of her seat."Everly? What's going on?!" Annie's anxious voice came vaguely through the phone, but Everly did not care. As the truck caught up on her, she steered her car forward and accelerated the vehicle to its maximum speed!It was broad daylight and there was not much traffic around the highway, but it was enough to hinder Everly.Honk! Honk!Everly slammed on the horn repeatedly. More blood flowed out of her forehead as she swerved her car along the road. Her concentration level was at its peak.Everly seemed to have traveled through time into her past many years ago. Right now, everything was just like that moment…That moment when Carson had taken Everly for a party with their buddies.He was driving at the time while Everly was his co-pilot in the passenger seat.When she turned 18, she finally got her driver's license. During a certain party event, she showed
