"Alright. Oliver, get in the car," Everly smiled. Watching Oliver smilingly getting into the car with her, Everly suddenly brightened up."I'll drive." Everly lifted her head just in time to see Carson standing on the side.She happened to want to talk with Oliver, so she nodded. Carson sat into the driver's seat, while she and Oliver settled themselves in the back seat.Oliver had hardly sat down when he opened his little schoolbag, took something out, shoved it into Everly's hand and said, "Aunt Violet, take a look at this for me. It's a picture I drew. I need to hand it in to my teacher later today. Would you please take a look at it?"Everly, naturally, took the picture. Looking at Oliver's childish strokes, she felt a warm glow flaring inside her. She bobbed her head. "It's stunning!""I'm so glad to hear that!" Oliver smiled. Then he pointed at the figures in the drawing and began to explain them to Everly one by one. "Aunt Violet, this is a…"The Masheruti drove along in
Thinking of what Robbie had just said, Everly immediately honked the horn.But Carson didn't seem to hear the beep. He continued to wander the street.Everly remembered that Robbie needed to discuss something important with Carson, so she pulled up beside Carson. She then rolled down the window and said, "Mr. Baxter!"Only then did Carson come to his senses. He looked at her and frowned slightly. "What's wrong?""Robbie is looking for you. He said he could not reach you," Everly said instantly.Carson's frown deepened. He took out his phone and checked it before saying, "I put it on silent. I see his text message now. Thanks.""Well..." Everly suddenly didn't know what to say, so she just nodded casually. "Good."Then she was ready to start the car and head for her studio, but she suddenly saw Carson continue walking forward.Everly was very puzzled."What are you doing?" She drove up and asked him, "Didn't Robbie say he needed to talk with you about something important?""Ye
They soon arrived at their destination. He got out of the car and thanked her. Everly watched him disappear and finally came to her senses. She pushed things to the back of her mind, started the car, and headed in the direction of the new studio.At the same time...After Everly left, Carson came out of the shadows. Standing beside him, Robbie saw Carson watching Everly's car leave and swiped his sweat. Just then, he had been tailing Miss Pettis's car. In case she found out, he had to keep a distance without losing her. That was a difficult job! He took another look at Carson's side face and grumbled under his breath. No doubt about it. Mr. Baxter's way of doing things was devious. To gain her sympathy, his boss had called him in the middle of the night, asking him to have the kitchen secretly cleaned and have all the cars driven away...The previous courtship had failed, so Mr. Baxter changed tactics. And it looked like Miss Pettis had fallen for it. At the end of the
Everly frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything. She greeted her employees as usual and then went to her office.She sat down in her seat and thought for a moment before calling Annie on the intercom."Annie, come in please," Everly said."Okay." Soon, Annie walked in and closed the door."What can I do for you, Violet?" Annie always called Everly Violet when they were in the studio."Annie, what is the staff's response to what happened to the earlier riot?" Everly asked directly. She did not beat around the bush.Annie hesitated for a second. She then frowned slightly and replied, "They have not recovered themselves yet after experiencing the riot. You can also tell that they still have misgivings about the studio's future.""Yes." Everly nodded with worries. She pondered for two seconds and said, "Well, you try to comfort them by giving them more bonuses or throwing a team dinner, or whatever. You choose the best way to reassure them.""No problem!" Annie immediately ans
Chapter 441 The Office Couldn’t be Rent to You NowSeeing Annie's expression, Richard suddenly felt gleeful!It seemed that all his smoldering anger dissipated because of Annie's grievances.‘Haha! Wonderful!’‘That woman! No, she’s not a woman, but a tigress!’‘How dared she beat me last time?’‘Now she doesn’t dare be arrogant.’Looking at Richard's smug look, Everly had a headache, but she still had to bite the bullet and said, "Mr. Davidson, I don't understand what you mean."Before Richard answered, she added, "I took you and Alice into account from the beginning, so I was hesitant when I signed the contract with Davidson Group yesterday. But later, your representative told us that Davidson Group unanimously approved the cooperation, and then I signed the contract. But now you come to raise hell. Are you going to breach the contract?""I…""This is yesterday's recording, which was recorded with the permission of your representative." Guessing what Richard was going to sa
Richard was stunned and realized it was true after thinking for a moment.When he learned about Rick’s matter the day before, he knew there was no turning back. It had never occurred to him to come and stand in the way since Alice had agreed. However, he had met Lisa the last night, and she had told something to him and given him some instructions.Actually, it was Lisa who ordered him to Violet's Studio. The object was simple: to give Violet a hard time and avenge Alice!Richard gradually remembered himself and said, "I don't care what you think. It's up to you to move or not, of course. Bear in mind that this building belongs to Davidson Group. As a shareholder of Davidson Group and one of its heirs, I have the right to come here and do anything!"It indicated that Richard would not break the contract or drive them away, but he might come to stir up trouble! Violet was in a real jam.Even though the main issue had been resolved, Richard's frequent visits to the studio would make
Richard wanted to say something else, but now he was choked back. He was well aware of Violet's situation in Cannesville. This was indeed her last resort. Yesterday Richard was wondering what would happen to Violet in the end, but he was surprised to see Rick gave her a hand at last. "Richie, I know you're mad at me because of your sister. But I never meant to hurt her. I did have a purpose coming back home this time, but it wasn't about Carson," Everly said earnestly, "and I apologize if I inadvertently got in between your sister and Carson. I'm sorry." Immediately, Richard found himself speechless, for they both knew very well that Carson had no feelings for Alice at all. What Carson had done before had misled the Davidsons to think that Carson was into Alice. But then the Davidsons learned everything and realized that Carson did it all for another woman. Richard was actually a reasonable man. Now that he thought about it and he knew that the matter between Carson and
This meant that Richard might still come over and make a scene afterward.However, Annie couldn't say anything, then just nodded and said, "Yes."Then Annie turned around and went out.Watching Annie leave, Everly let out a long sigh. Now that this place was in danger everywhere, Everley could only pray that what was happening would end as soon as possible. Then she would be able to take Oliver and the team out of here....Annie walked out of Everly's office and then closed the door. She didn't immediately go to talk to the finance director about giving everyone a raise. Instead, she dropped her things and walked quickly to the parking lot.In the parking lot.Richard got angry and went to his car. He sat in the driver's seat by himself. He felt angry when he thought about what had happened earlier.He took out his phone and sent a message to Lisa.He texted: I've done what you've told me to do.Then he called Alice again and was ready to talk to her about what had happened
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
