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
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
And the root of the problem was Carson’s remarks."Angelica, say something!" Seeing Angelica keep silent, the man became even more anxious. The people of his faction who had been watching and waiting just now all ran over anxiously."Yeah, Angelica, it’s not worth it! It's just a trivial matter. How could he resign because of such a woman? He did not do such a thing for Everly back then!""Angelica, your family is rich. Even if you lose this position, you are still the major shareholder, but things are different for us! We have always depended on the Baxter Group! You can't do this to us!""Angelica, we have worked hard with you for years. You can't let us down! Hurry up and persuade Mr. Baxter!"The more they talked, the more panicked they became because they found that Angelica had not said a single word and that her face became gloomier and gloomier!People called her Angelica instead of Mrs. Baxter because she held shares of the company in person. Moreover, her parents’ famil
"Mr. Baxter, you have been working diligently in this position and made countless decisions over the past years. The company is running well. You should not hand it over to others. It is not fair!"Robbie kept persuading, but Carson didn't respond. He put his things together, looked at Robbie, and said, "Give me a box."Robbie, who had been babbling, looked into Carson's eyes and understood that his persuasion would be in vain because Carson had already made his mind.Robbie sighed deeply in the end. He then resignedly went to get a box, called the cleaner to come over to help, and wrote a resignation letter.The meeting wasn't over yet, but the whole company was about to explode because Carson had tendered his resignation.He had caused a sensation not only in the Baxter Group but also in the entire Cannesville![Carson, President of Baxter Group, has handed in his resignation letter.][The senior management of Baxter Group shakes, and the president is changed.]…Countless m
Countless people were waiting for Carson's answer, but he just lowered his calm eyes and walked to the elevator under the protection of the bodyguards.He didn't give any answer, ignored all the noises and questions, and calmly watched the elevator door close.Not until then did Robbie breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at Carson, thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Baxter, I've made some preparation in the parking lot, so no one will get in your way.”"Thank you," Carson replied and then seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at Robbie and said, "I'm no longer the president of the Baxter Group. Don't call me Mr. Baxter anymore."Looking at Robbie's surprised expression, he added calmly, "You can call me by my name now."Robbie didn't know how to reply. He had called Carson Mr. Baxter for many years, so he felt strange to call his name directly. He didn't know what to do now. After all, what Carson said made sense.The resignation letter had been tendered, Carson's pers
"Alice is such a sweet girl. You don't cherish her, but you are obsessed with that woman! What can that woman bring you? She doesn't even care about what you do for her! You're so stupid!" Angelica was so furious that her voice trembled. "Aunt Angelica..." Alice couldn't say anything under the circumstances. She could only turn to Carson, but she didn't think Carson would listen to her at the time, so she glanced at Robbie. Then she said, "Aunt Angelica, let's talk about it later. Don't be mad. I had made a reservation at the restaurant. We're going to be late if we don't get on our way now. Aunt Angelica, you promised me earlier you'd have dinner with me." Robbie understood immediately. He hurriedly said, "That's right, Madam Alexander. We'll talk about Miss Pettis later. Please give Mr. Baxter more time." "Humph!" Angelica glanced at Robbie and then at Alice. Finally, the mother turned to Carson, "Don't think I don't know what you're scheming! Alice asks me to have dinner with
Robbie watched Alice's back, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. Alice walked to the elevator. She wiped the tears off her cheek and then she smiled at Angelica who just stepped out of the elevator, "Aunt Angelica." Angelica's brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Alice and then at Robbie who was standing aside. Angelica said to Alice with disappointment, "I just went upstairs on purpose to give you and Carson some space alone. So he'll get to know more about you. I made the opportunity for you, but you… ugh…" But Alice just held Angelica's hand and answered, "Aunt Angelica, I know you did it for me. But I don't want that. I’d rather let things go with feelings." Then Alice smiled again, "Let's go, Aunt Angelica. I'm hungry." Angelica shook her head helplessly and replied, "Okay. Let's go." Angelica then glanced at Robbie. At last, she and Alice left for the restaurant. Robbie saw everything. He let out a long sigh. Then he went back upstairs and went back to his w
Annie drove the car as she said complacently, "Trust me! You will know that later! The restaurant is famous in Cannesville. It's very difficult to reserve a table there!"Austin smiled, "OK. Annie, I'm looking forward to it very much!"Annie smiled, "You will be satisfied!" She drove the car fast. However, when she saw Everly's expression in the rearview mirror occasionally, she was a little worried.Annie knew that Everly was in a dilemma.Annie knew what had happened in the hospital that day. Besides, she saw something by chance that Everly didn't know. In Annie's opinion, Everly was unable to get rid of Austin, but Carson had done so much for Everly...Annie knew that Carson had resigned. She stopped Everly checking her phone on purpose, waiting for a proper chance to tell Everly that. Otherwise...But Annie hadn't found a suitable opportunity yet. She decided to take them to have dinner first. She planned to tell Everly that when Everly was alone at night. If she told Everly
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
