When they finished dinner, it was getting dark. After Austin sent Everly back, he silently watched her walk into Orchid Garden before turning around and leaving.

Everly stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and she did not retract her gaze until Austin disappeared from her sight.

Annie came over and draped a blanket over her.

Everly turned around, looked at Annie, took her hand, and smiled, "Thank you."

"You’re most welcome." Annie looked at her with pity in her eyes.

The two held their hands silently, but they could understand each other's thoughts.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Everly subconsciously looked at the door, wondering who had come at this time.

Could it be Austin coming back?

Everly and Annie came to the door together in confusion and opened the door, but they didn't see anyone outside.

"Aunt Violet!" Hearing the voice, they looked down and saw Oliver, who was short.

Everly immediately smiled, squatted down, held Oliver's face, and said, "Hi, Oliver. Wha

    When Everly looked into Oliver's clear eyes, her heart suddenly softened.Oliver had said that he would also be her son just now.In fact, she had long been looking forward to telling Oliver that she was his mother. She had thought she would get Oliver’s custody after the showdown with Carson, but all her efforts turned out to be in vain in the end.She had thought this opportunity would come after a long time, but now...Oliver looked at Everly, hugged her arm, and said, "Aunt Violet, would you please marry my dad? He's good-looking and rich. And he likes you very much! His only disadvantage is his old age. But it doesn’t matter because I am young. Aunt Violet, didn't you say you like me very much? As long as you and my dad get back together, everything will be fine."Seeing her unmoved, Oliver continued, "I really like you!"Everly let out a long sigh, reached out to touch Oliver's head, looked into his big eyes, and said, "Oliver, I also like you very much.

    Annie came over, put the fruit she had washed on the table, and asked, "Are you okay?"Everly opened her eyes, looked at Annie who was worried, and shook her head, "I'm fine."Looking at the place where Oliver had sat just now, she secretly made up her mind.Since that incident, she had been dejected for too long. Now that she had moved out of the Baxter Group, she would continue with her previous plan.She tried desperately to get Carson out of her mind.At this moment, her mind was a mess, so she asked herself not to think about what he had done for her or what he had sacrificed.She told herself that her only purpose in this country was to get Oliver's custody.Now that Carson had refused her request, she could only resort to legal means."Annie, sort out the evidence we got and contact the lawyer. When everything is ready, we will obtain Oliver's custody through legal means," Everly said.Annie looked at her worriedly, but still nodded, "I got it..."Annie immediately sto

    The butler was stunned. He took a peek at Carson's expression. But Carson's eyes were hidden in the shadow of his hair, so the Butler could not see Carson’s expression clearly.When the butler regained his calmness, he said to Oliver with a smile, "Okay, let them solve this matter. It's very late now, and you need to take a bath."Glancing at Carson again, Oliver seemed to realize that Carson didn't intend to give him any explanation, so he obediently followed a servant to take a bath.There were only Carson and the butler in the living room.Noticing that Carson was upset, the butler sighed and comforted him, "Sir, Oliver was just talking nonsense. Don’t take it seriously."Carson lowered his eyes slightly, and then he walked to the sofa. When he stared at an old photo of them together on the wall, his mind began to wander.The silence was suffocating, and the butler immediately mentioned another topic. "By the way, Robbie has reported that Baxter Group is taking a tentative ste

    The next day.Everly came to the studio on time as usual."Hello, Violet!""Morning, Violet!"Employees greeted her one after another.She nodded in response to their greetings and then went to her office."Violet, here's your schedule..." Annie came in to inform her arrangement and added, "According to your requirements, I've collected some information. Yet I'll take some time to complete. And..."After a pause, Annie looked at Violet and asked, "We partnered with Baxter Group to get close to Carson and get the data we needed. Now, we had obtained our objective. Shall we continue to cooperate with them?"Thinking for a while, Violet averted her eyes from the files and looked up at Annie, "For now, keep working together is our best choice. The cooperation is drawing to an end. If we end cooperation now, the termination process can be cumbersome. It's not worth wasting time on that. Besides, good cooperative credit is more advantageous to us in litigation.""Well, I see." Annie

    Everly frowned slightly. Looking over, she found that those people were indeed furious.The employee aside even took out his phone and showed her the latest news. "Violet, you see, as soon as the market opened, the stocks were immediately sold. Only a few minutes later, the stocks all fell to the limit. Even if people wanted to sell their stocks, they had no way. It’s unknown who spread the news, and all the people are taking aim at you now. Now people are crowding here. Though there are only a small group of people now, there will be more and more people coming! Run away now!"When Everly read the news on the phone and then looked at the increasing number of people gathering outside, she felt something was wrong.If there was really a problem, people would have come last night. How could Everly go to the restaurant and have a meal? Someone must have plotted this incident.There had also been things before that caused stocks to fall to the limit, but people were not as frantic as n

    "No!" Everly said decidedly, "There is no way I'm gonna leave you here alone.""Everly..." Everly pulled Annie over when Annie was about to say something."Bang!"Something was thrown from the crowd and smashed into pieces."Shit!" Annie cursed in a fury and was about to rush out. Yet, she was stopped by Everly and calmed down gradually."Now, what we need to do is settle it, not get out of here." Everly handed Annie the phone to show her the message she had just received.[Be careful, Violet. The back door was blocked up, too. We escaped from the crowd by pretending that we were pleasure-seekers. All of them were heavily disguised. I overheard their plan: Make noise at the front door and keep quiet at the back. In this way, you'll think the back way is safe, and when you get there, they'll besiege you. I've already called the police. Take care.]"What a dirty trick! Someone must have given an order to these bastards!" Although Annie gnashed her teeth with anger, she couldn't do

    "Ask those people to protect Violet. Don’t expose me," Carson ordered.Robbie immediately understood what Carson meant. ‘Now there is the breaking news about the resignation of Mr. Baxter, and Mr. Baxter resigned his position for Miss Pettis. If he helps Miss Pettis overly, the matter will become more serious, and his help will bring trouble.’‘Now what we need to do is to keep our people on standby. Although the situation is serious, Miss Pettis is not harmed. Once the crowd outside the studio breaks in, our people can protect Miss Pettis from danger.’‘And Mr. Baxter conceived such a plan long ago, so from the beginning, he mobilized people and asked them to stay around the studio. Now there will be no strangers suddenly appearing, and the person behind the scenes won’t be alerted.’"Yes!" Robbie answered immediately and then went to make arrangements in a hurry.‘Mr. Baxter cares about Miss Pettis very much. Even if it is protection, he is cautious, as he is afraid that Miss Pe

    As Lisa was thinking about it, her phone suddenly vibrated. She frowned slightly, picked up the phone, and looked at it, revealing an impatient look."What's the matter? Who’s calling?" The man noticed the change in Lisa's mood and asked immediately.Lisa looked at the phone impatiently, not knowing whether she should answer it or not."From the Whites?" The man understood as soon as he saw her face.Lisa looked at him hatefully, then took a deep breath and answered the phone."What’s the matter?" Lisa asked."What’s the matter!" Her mother’s shrill voice came from the phone. "Do you still mean to ask me? What the hell have you been doing lately! Why hasn't our situation improved in the slightest? Now it is even more serious than before! Lisa, don't forget you came to us and told us that you could keep our family safe, so that's why we handed over your sister! Do you know what kind of life your sister is living in prison now?"Lisa rubbed her temples wearily and said, "Don't urg

    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
