On hearing Everly's words, Annie next to her promptly said with a shake of her head, "No, no! Everly, you're not like that!

"They did that for their own gain. They're also businessmen, pretty astute ones, actually. Why would they ever bargain anything away?" Annie said. "They're just trying to get something from you in a different way."

"Is that so?" Though Everly was smiling, her eyes were reddish.

She felt that she was so sordid and despicable. She had no idea when she had become this kind of woman.

To attain her end by hook or by crook.

Maybe she was gradually turning into the kind of person she hated.

"Yeah," Annie immediately said. "It's said Rick has a different birth mother from Alice and Richard. I think maybe there's a hidden reason why Rick's helping you at this point in time."

Having noticed Everly's upset face, Annie promptly added, "And then there're also John and Dave. You're not accepting their help without giving them anything in return. You and Dave have an agre

    Richard hurriedly came out of the bar. At this moment, he did not believe what his friends had said, so he called Rick after hiring a designated driver.Rick picked up soon."What's up?" Rick's voice came.Richard, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, heard Rick's calm voice and suddenly got irritated, so he immediately asked back, "Where are you now?"Rick was silent for a moment before replying, "I'm working.""Working?" Richard thought of all the things that had happened at home today and what his friends had just said. He immediately asked directly, "You're at your new company, aren't you? I'm going to meet you right now!"Rick was silent again for three seconds and finally gave Richard an address.Richard told the designated driver the address at once and dashed there.He really couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.

    "Lisa, I don't know what you want to do, but I'm sure that Carson will protect her and that your purpose won't be achieved, so you'd better behave yourself." Alice directly hung up the phone.She looked at the phone that had blacked out and put it aside.She didn't think about what had happened before anymore, but she also didn't want to tell Carson and Everly about Lisa's scheme.After all, in Alice's opinion, this was a test of the relationship between Carson and Everly. If they broke up because of Lisa, Alice would replace Everly.Thinking of this, Alice opened the computer and continued to do her work.Alice was very calm, but Lisa wasn't.After getting the result of the test in the morning, she was quite happy.

    Everly looked at the rope. There should have been a wristband at the end Carson was holding, but it seemed to have been cut off.She stared at him again. Although his face was stolid, she could somehow see his guilt.Oliver was young and innocent. He insisted that Carson should hold the rope, so Carson couldn't tie their hands together and had to take Oliver to walk like this.Everly almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She had never seen Carson so embarrassed for so many years.After straightening Oliver's clothes, Carson coughed, looked at her, shook the rope, and said to Oliver, "Do you want to continue to walk?""Dad, you're so annoying! I want to talk with Aunt Violet. Don't disturb us!" Oliver said and glared at Carson.After that, Oliver turned to look at Everly with a cute smile, hugged her arm, and said, "I have to go to school tomorrow, so I told Dad to take me back to the Rose Pavilion because it is close to school."Everly nodded, thinking, 'No wonder the Rose Pa

    Everly just couldn't stand to watch it anymore."Can't you just talk to Oliver properly?" Everly looked at Carson angrily and said, "Isn't your attitude towards him similar to that of a small animal?"Carson and Oliver both froze. Oliver peeked at Everly, then at Carson, and didn't know what to say.Carson didn't know what to say either. He had never been the kind of person to explain. So, he finally just nodded in agreement.Everly wanted to say something else. However, given her current position, she couldn't interfere too much, so she could only hold back.There was silence for a few seconds.Everyone was embarrassed.Finally, it was Oliver who broke the ice. He said, "I'm going to continue walking. Aunt Violet, bye!"Then, Everly nodded her head. She smiled at Oliver and said, "Okay. Oliver, you can come and play with me more often.""Okay!" Oliver gave a big smile, looking as bright as the sun.Carson, on the other hand, didn't say anything. He seemed to be thinking abou

    "Yes." Carson nodded, staring at the rice cooker.Emma didn't know what had happened. Wearing an apron, she walked into the kitchen with a smile and said, "Oliver, what do you want to eat? I've bought many ingredients. I'll cook for you."Oliver and Carson kept silent for a moment, glancing at each other.Carson suddenly called Emma."Yes, Mr. Baxter?" Emma smilingly answered."You've been working for a long time. I'll give you a vacation with pay. Have a good rest," Carson said."Really?" Emma was instantly delighted."Yes, and you'll receive triple pay during the vacation. Just enjoy yourself with your family," Carson replied seriously.Hearing this, Emma almost jumped with joy. She would have a vacation with triple pay!"Thank you so much, Mr. Baxter," Emma said and immediately thought of another thing. "But what about Oliver? A new nanny may not be able to take good care of him.""Don't worry. I'll settle the matter later," Carson answered calmly."Okay." Emma was reliev

    Everly ran over in a hurry, even having forgotten to change her slippers. She immediately came to the house next door and knocked on the door."Oliver! How are you? What happened? Oliver, open the door!" Everly was very anxious. ‘There seemed to be an explosion just now. Oliver was screaming and crying. Was he injured?’Everly thought a lot for a while and became frantic.Though she waited for no more than twenty seconds, she felt as if a century had passed. Finally, the door was opened by Carson."Where's Oliver?" Everly asked anxiously. "What were you doing?""He's fine." Carson looked down at Everly and answered calmly."Aunt Violet." Oliver's voice came from behind. Hearing his voice, Everly was slightly startled. Then she saw Oliver shuffling over, with his face and body shrouded in white foam.Everly immediately crouched down and pulled Oliver into her arms, with her heart aching for him. Then she carefully wiped the foam away from Oliver's face and asked, "What happened?

    Everly stroked Oliver's head and said, "Go wash your hands and let's eat." Then she paused for a second and glanced at Carson, to whom she beckoned, "Come on." Carson nodded his head and followed her in silence into the bathroom. After Carson helped Oliver wash his hands, the three sat at the table. Oliver looked at Everly and then at Carson, and then the little boy exclaimed, "Wow! So much delicious food!", which broke the silence and awkwardness in the dining room. Then, with Everly's smile as permission, the little boy started eating with his knife and fork. As he ate, he mumbled, "Yum!" Carson, who was sitting beside Oliver, ate his food slowly and quietly. He looked exactly the opposite of his son. "Aunt Violet, it's so good that we have you today. Otherwise, I'd be starving." Oliver blurted while eating his food, "Emma went on vacation. Only Daddy and I are home these days. If I have to eat Daddy's cooking every day, I'll lose a lot of weight!"Everly's hand holding

    Then Carson turned his eyes from Oliver to Everly. Her heart somehow thumped hard when his dark eyes fell on her. She immediately gathered herself, to not show it. "No! He's not a baby anymore. We shouldn't spoil him." Carson's answer shocked her. Somehow she felt strange. Before, when Carson brought Oliver to her home, she had complained to him many times that she didn't like it, but still, Carson would bring Oliver over. He claimed the little boy missed her. This time, she invited Oliver to come to her home, but Carson refused. Inexplicably, she felt strange. She felt something wasn't right. Now that she thought about it… He didn't stop her when she left Baxter Group. And they hadn't had much contact since the last time he saved her from the crisis. He didn't follow her around with all the excuses he used to use. Everly felt herself at a loss? Suddenly, she thought she was losing her mind! She had always disliked Carson pestering her and she never wanted him ar

    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
