Imprisoned Wife of Mr. Baxter Chapter 379 A Board Meeting
Carson went all the way in through the area where the normal employees worked, toward the deepest end of the office.He walked past a long corridor where they used to display Everly's art for the past year, which had all been taken down, leaving nothing but the marks on the wall where they used to be.Carson stared at the mark with dark eyes. He stood alone for a while, and before him, he saw everything as it used to be when Everly was still there and heard all the laughter that had once echoed through the hall.Now, there was nothing left but dust.He lowered his gaze and went towards the other end, where Everly's office was located.Carson had been here a couple of times, but every time he did, Everly never showed any sign of welcoming his presence. He stared at the empty space, and her face appeared before his eyes.He simply stood in silence in the empty office without a word. He did not know how much time had passed, when suddenly…Knock, knock, knock!He heard knocking on

On the other end, Everly and the others had arrived at their new office.Nothing could compare to what they had before, as Baxter Group offered the best facilities and their new worksite was different."Everly, this might not be as spacious as Baxter Group, but I think it's still acceptable. What do you think?" Austin asked, his tone slightly nervous."It's alright," Everly said as she looked at Austin with a smile. "Thank you. Thank you for everything back in Strandia and here."Austin smiled gently, but his smile did not reach his eyes.Ever since what happened in the hospital, Everly had complied, and instead of addressing him formally, she started calling him by his name.Everything was working towards the direction he had wanted despite knowing that Everly was struggling deep down inside. However, he knew that things were not how they were before.He had been pretending not to notice, but once things happened, there was no turning back."You don't need to thank me," he s

Annie knew that this was just how Everly and Austin used to get along with each other. Their relationship didn't progress.Looking at Annie, Everly paused for a moment, feeling confused.Everly didn't know how to define her relationship with Austin.Austin didn't force her ruthlessly like he did that day, so she didn't answer. Sometimes, Everly asked herself if she was willing to be with him.Yet she didn't have the freedom to choose.If not for Austin, she would have died long ago."Everly?" Seeing that Everly kept silent, Annie had to continue, "You haven't thought it over, right?"It seems that Austin won't make you answer, but he won't wait long. As long as he wants, he'll ask you," Annie said seriously, "so you have to think about it. If you tell him you don't want to be with him after a long time, Austin may not let you go."He may even do something terrible!" Annie said worriedly.Seeing that Annie's eyes were full of anxiety, Everly let out a long sigh, gripped Annie

Lisa didn't quite believe that Everly had left like this. 'Carson didn't stop her?''What's going on?'Given Carson's personality and his previous actions, there was no way he would let go, but the result was the opposite. Everly left, and he was irresponsive to the heated discussion about Violet in the office. Something was off!"How are things in Baxter Group?" Lisa thought for a moment and asked."A stockholders' meeting is in preparation. Word is that they'll talk about the streaming," the other party said. "Could it be that Carson is too busy to care about Everly?""No," Lisa said affirmatively. "The shareholders' meeting is trivial to him."She had admired this man for many years and knew everything about Carson and Baxter Group. In her view, such a thing would never happen.Once he was committed, nothing could stop him. "It doesn't make sense. Carson was devastated by the news of Everly's death. I heard that...""Alright." Lisa impatiently cut him off, "Go back and

On the other side, at the Baxter Group office building... "Mr. Baxter, it's time for the meeting." Secretary Robbie walked up to Carson's desk and reminded him, "In Conference Room 1." "OK," Carson responded. Then he stood up and the two headed for the conference room. In the meanwhile, a furious argument raged in Conference Room 1. The shareholders were sitting on either side of the long conference table. They were all big names who usually appeared in the financial pages, but at the moment, they were arguing fervently. "...Carson is now the president of the company, and the Braxters own a large portion of shares in the company, but that doesn't mean that Baxter Group is sheerly under your control. What Carson did last week seriously jeopardized the company's interests. You must give us an explanation!" "What's the point of an explanation? I think that Carson is simply confused by women, with Everly before and Violet now. He is not fit to be the president of the board! I t

Even if they had been cranky and rowdy, and no matter how many bad things they said about Carson before, they still didn't dare to speak up in front of Carson at that moment.When Robbie looked at the shareholders present, he smiled coldly.Although the conference room was well soundproofed, Robbie just heard a lot of noise inside!Robbie's mind was in turmoil. But Carson didn't even stop and walked straight to the main seat.Carson was the same as usual. His face was expressionless.The time was just right. Carson, as before, scanned the audience and said, "Let's start."However, all of the shareholders, who came up with the idea of dismissing Carson and were so cranky, were now staring at each other. They were silent and did not dare to speak at all.And Angelica sneered. She looked at these people as if they were clowns.Perhaps because of her sneer, someone was finally stimulated to stand up.That person said, "Mr. Baxter, we did not convene this meeting today to see you p
Last Updated : 2022-04-22Imprisoned Wife of Mr. Baxter Chapter 385 Just Because He Was Capable
All the people present fell into a trance. What did Carson mean?'As you like?''Does he mean that he isn't afraid of being dismissed?''Does he have strong backing? Or does he care about nothing?'Even Alice and Angelica didn't expect Carson to say so in the end. Angelica became furious.She thought that Carson would have a clear mind because of what had happened today. However, what did he mean?The man who took the lead was surprised by Carson and didn't come to sense for the time being. He looked at the calm Carson and asked in disbelief, "Carson, are you threatening us?"Carson glanced at the man indifferently and said, "I'm not interested in it."The man asked again, "Then what did you mean by saying 'as you like'?"Carson didn't reply but walked towards the door.But the others hadn't got what they wanted today yet. Seeing that Carson had almost reached the door, the man shouted, "Carson! Aren't you afraid that we will dismiss you? Do you think that we don't have the g
Last Updated : 2022-04-22Imprisoned Wife of Mr. Baxter Chapter 386 I Quit
Everyone was looking at Carson, but he just said, "I will not promise you anything. Regarding dismissal..."He calmly looked at the crowd and continued, "There is no need to dismiss me. I quit.""What?" The crowd was stunned, even Robbie didn't expect it would end up like that."Carson! What do you mean by that?" Angelica stood up and questioned Carson. She just wanted to make Carson aware of the consequences of what he had done before. And she wanted everyone to dissuade Carson from doing that for just a woman. But what did he mean now? She could not believe he quit!He was not a young man in his early 20s anymore. He was in his 30s. Why did he do such a childish thing?Didn't he know many people were craving his position?But Carson just turned around and said, "Robbie will hand over follow-up work. I have to go now. Excuse me."He remained very calm the whole time. He walked out directly without hesitation after he finished speaking.It seemed that he did not mind giving u

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
Imprisoned Wife of Mr. Baxter Chapter 466 She Is Still Fascinated by Him
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
Imprisoned Wife of Mr. Baxter Chapter 465 The Tenderness in Carson's Eyes
"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
Imprisoned Wife of Mr. Baxter Chapter 464 But He Loves Everly
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?"
Imprisoned Wife of Mr. Baxter Chapter 463 She Seemed a Little Addicted to Such a Life
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,
Imprisoned Wife of Mr. Baxter Chapter 461 A Human Shape was Still There
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
