Chapter 8 Face Full Of Anger

Author: Ellieee
Tears streamed down her cheeks, but she did not stop working. She just put the dead fish aside and continued to catch other fish.

She cried non-stop until someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her up.

She saw his face through the tears in her eyes. Everly began to struggle away after catching a glance of who it was.

"Let me go!" Her voice was low and hoarse, on the verge of cracking. The blood on her hand dripping onto the back of his hand had angered him further.

She would rather work in a place like this than admit her mistakes?

She would rather fake her death to get out of prison and rely on some other men than to yield to him!

"What are you thinking?" He scolded her. His grip on her wrist was so hard that it was almost crushing her bones. When he found that she was still staring at the fish, the rage in him burned brighter. "Everly, do you really love money so much?"

Everly was stunned. She then looked at him, tears streaming down from her eyes. She looked miserable.

"Yes, I do love money." She opened her mouth after a while and said, "I love money very much. I find that there is nothing better than money in the world."

She thought to herself, ‘Unlike you, I tried my best to love you. But in the end, I lost everything.’

She looked as miserable as he had expected, but his anger suddenly dissipated, and all there was left in him were sadness. He felt that he was actually going crazy. A murderer like her was supposed to be punished!

He thought she would realize what she did wrong and beg him for forgiveness after she had suffered!

However, she was still stubborn!

Irredeemable!

She thought he would be softhearted if she stood in front of him pitifully like this?

She could only wish!

He would only hate her more!

He held her hand and was about to leave, but she refused. He took a look at the butler who was waiting aside, and the butler then came to pry open her hands.

All she could see was his angry face.

The same face that appeared in her nightmares in the past four years was the same face that she had looked at with heart-shaped eyes the six years before that.

Her stomach began to start cramping again, and the smell of blood continued to surge up her throat.

She did not want to see this face anymore. She did not want to have anything to do with him!

His hand was like a pair of pincers that she could not get rid of. Finally, Everly decided to lower her head and bit into the back of his hand. She bit him so hard that she could almost taste his blood.

"Miss Pettis! Let go!" The butler's voice sounded, but she ignored him.

"Sir, let go of her first. You are bleeding..." The butler's voice was full of concern, but Carson did not listen as well. His eyes were full of bloodlust and anger. He dragged her to the side of the car and the butler quickly opened the door.

"You can't take me away. I still have work to do. I haven't gotten today's salary!" She said quickly.

What came at her was a large sum of money that Carson threw on her and his anger-filled face.

The wind at the dock was so strong that the cash was blown away in mere seconds.

She was stunned for a moment and then squatted down to pick the remaining cash up. Before her hands could reach the money on the ground, Carson pulled her up and threw her onto the back seat of the car.

She was unable to suppress the sickly sweetness in her throat after the violent collision with the seat. She coughed onto the seat of the car, which stained the leather red.

    The car sank as he slid in to sit beside her. She immediately wiped the blood on the corner of her lip with her hands that were covered in blood that she had coughed up earlier.The door closed with a slam and the car started to move. She was completely unprepared for it and fell onto the car floor. The sky outside the car windows was gradually brightening. The car drove through the early morning mist. She looked up toward Carson, who was staring down at her at that moment. His cold eyes were filled with hatred as though she was maggot writhing on the ground!“Where are you taking me?!” She asked. He did not answer, merely looking at her coldly. His thoughts were unfathomable. The scenery through the car windows behind him shifted unceasingly. His features under the dim yellow glow of the streetlights as the car entered a tunnel made her feel a sense of deja vu.She recalled the first time she had a cry after being bullied, it seemed like he brought her home with the same method.

    He spat out that sentence unswervingly then left. She used all her might to get up, hoping to catch the last beam of light before the door shut. However, the door shut firmly before her with a slam.“Open the door!” She called out hoarsely, reaching her hands out to knock the door relentlessly. Her voice echoed shrilly in the room, but no one answered. Another flash of lightning and thunder lit up the ground, covered in splotches of her blood and the walls covered in photos.She seemed to have returned to prison once again where those women would beat and kick her, stripping her of her coat before locking her in the bathroom for three days and three nights.“I beg you, please let me out…”She cried as she begged, beating against the door. It was exactly the same as it was back then. There was no response, in fact, she could almost hear the sound of their laughter ringing in her ears.“What about Miss Pettis? Hahaha, that’s ancient history. She’s our slave now! Mr. Baxter told us t

    So many years have gone by and she was tired of saying this. It was the only truth she had left.“Everly Pettis! We have all the evidence that you killed my sister. This is the truth! They sentenced you to ten years back then and sneaking out like this is basically prison break!”Lisa’s shrill voice rang out, “Carson told me all about you. I promised him that I wouldn’t sue you if you admitted that you were wrong and were willing to learn from your mistakes. Or else, you can rot in prison for the rest of your life!”“I’ve done nothing wrong.” Her gaze was unfocused as she repeated that line, just as she did countless times over the past four years.“You!”Lisa grabbed her and tried to hit her but stopped just before she touched Everly’s face. She threw Everly against the wall. Everly watched as Lisa cried toward the person who stood coldly to one side, observing everything. “I’m sorry, Carson. I… As soon as I think about my sister…”Everly watched as Lisa’s tears fell onto his

However, as time passed, she had somewhat become the pillar of support for Everly.She had no home anymore, and she had nothing more than this borrowed life. The dilapidated but lit house was like a lamp for her, sustaining the last warmth in her heart.She squeezed the money in her hand, and the corner of her lips curved slightly. She breathed a breath of white mist amidst the icy cold air. Hastily, she moved to the back of the alley and craned her neck quietly. She wanted to stuff the money through the crack of the door as before, but she found that the door was wide open this time.Moreover, she saw a pair of feet!It was Granny Preston!She was lying on the ground unconscious!“Granny!” She did not care much and ran directly towards Granny Preston.

    “Miss…” The butler tried to stop her but to no avail. Two bodyguards, too, tried to do the same and were faced with her reprimands. “Step aside!”“Miss Pettis, please don’t make it difficult for us,” pleaded one of the bodyguards.“I said, step aside!” She ordered with a higher pitch. Her tone was laced with madness.The bodyguards had their eyes fixed on someone behind her. They stayed in her way without saying a word.She knew who they were looking at. Carson had always been a control freak. He controlled anything and everything, including her. However, why did he have to do this to her if he did not love her?He knew very well that his actions could result in a misunderstanding, making her think that he cared for her. Everly’s heart ached.

    Carson became even angrier as he looked at her crushed appearance. The arm that choked her neck tightened. His bloodshot eyes were cold and bloodthirsty. They were filled with a deep loathing.“Everly Pettis. It won’t kill you to think for one second!” The hand that was clutching her throat began to shudder from the force of his action. Her face was beginning to turn blue as she suffocated.“Hah…”She laughed mockingly and stared at him with tear-filled eyes. As she thought about how she used to love him to death, but now she was about to die at his hands, Everly’s laughter became more maniacal. Back then, she was so stupid…Buzz buzz buzz…His cell phone suddenly vibrated. He scoffed, then tossed her to one side and took out his phone. After checking it, he answered the call.“Lisa?”She fell down from the bed and gasped. From the corner of her eye, she could see a tenderness on his face that she had never seen before. She felt a vicious pang in her heart and erupted into a ser

I don’t believe she can stay this stubborn for long!”He then left without hesitating. The last thing she saw was his cold eyes. She struggled to leave, but the bodyguard held her down tightly.“Miss Pettis, beg your pardon. It’s Mr. Baxter’s order, and we’re just doing what we’re told.” The bodyguard’s voice was heard. The hand that was pressing hard against her shoulder did not flinch.She tried struggling her way out but to no avail.The bone-chilling coldness penetrated into her body and seeped in, engulfing her whole body. The snow kept falling onto her, making her tremble from the cold.At this moment, Everly had no idea if Granny Preston had awakened. Before she left, she made a pre-payment with all her and Granny Preston’s money. The doctor said that they would give Granny Preston

    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
