"Huh! You're quite a proud one." Donald quirked his brow. He didn't look at Helen but at Carl instead.He said, "Carl, we've worked together before, so I'll give you one more chance. Just tell me what you really want, or you'll have to leave.""You!" Helen was furious since Donald treated her like thin air.She yelled, "If it weren't for you stealing my family's crest, Carl would never have come to your pathetic place! I don't even know if your bodyguard is a man or a woman, and you yourself look hideous! All of you are ridiculous!"Helen went on her rant and did not realize that Donald's face had darkened.If Carl, who was standing next to her, didn't pull her sleeve, she would still be cursing Donald."Carl, you must help me …" Helen looked at Carl weakly, feeling apologetic.She had promised to control her temper. Why did she lash out in front of Donald?"Okay." Carl tapped Helen's hand and comforted her.Then, he looked at Donald and said, "Mr. Brown, you're a great man wh
Violet took a deep breath when Novya's text message came. She made up her mind.Maybe she could deal with Silvia and work for her. In the meantime, she would look for Whitney in secret and protect her.After all, she had to take the risk to get what she wanted.Violet knew that she couldn't escape from Silvia's control for the time being. She decided to calm down and use the resources around her to achieve her goal.She wasn't sure what resources she had at the moment, but for Whitney, she would give her best!"Mr. Kaplan, I'm heading back in a while." Violet parked the car by the river and sent Novya a text message.Novya received the message and immediately replied, "Take care."Violet stared at the two words sent by Novya. A faint smile formed on her lips, but she looked chilly.Novya seemed to care about her a lot. But was it genuine?Violet was suspicious of Novya for the first time.She didn't dare confirm her suspicions either. Ever since Novya brought her to Silvia, V
Mick was so eager to let Whitney meet Violet that he didn't realize a black sedan had approached them silently. The sedan hit his car when he was about to make a quick turn.Mick's car shook. Even though he thought himself a pretty good driver, the car still wobbled from the impact."Whitney!" Mick cried out in worry.Whitney answered in a small voice, "I'm fine."Mick frowned. He dodged the attacks from the black sedan while glancing at Whitney behind him."Mick, I'm … Careful!" Whitney had her eyes wide open before she could finish speaking.She stared at the sedan in horror, and her face paled as it moved closer."Don't worry," Mick said with fake bravado when he sensed the impending danger.He gave Whitney a smile and turned back to take on the challenge.He was confident in his abilities, and he shot out his gold needles faster than he usually did.However, a mysterious dark figure had come close to him even before he could use the first needle. The figure pointed its gu
"Carl, I know where Violet is. Can you get me out of here?" Elle asked. She needed to secure her escape plan."And?" Carl's voice was cold. He didn't give Elle any chance to negotiate.Elle hesitated for a bit before saying, "She came to the Browns' villa before. If you promise to take me with you, I can help you find her.""I got it," Carl answered. He didn't give Elle any more promises."Carl, hello …" Elle still wanted to speak, but Carl had already hung up the phone.Her eyes turned dark when she heard the beeping sound after the call ended. A sinister and disdainful smirk formed on her lips.Violet! When Elle found Violet the next time, she would definitely leave Violet no mercy.She hoped Violet would suffer so much that she wished she were dead!Violet, who sat in Novya's office, felt a chill crept up her back. She raised her head to look at Novya. Novya had the same serious expression on his face just like an hour ago.His suspicious eyes closed in on Violet. He asked,
Silvia seemed to soften up after Violet apologized."A Walker bastard left this behind," she said coldly."A Walker bastard?" Violet's eyes widened, and her fists clenched tight. "Who?"The only people Violet knew to have Walker as their last names were Carl and Lucy. Chill crept up her back. She felt worse when she thought of Lucy's death.Silvia took in the tiny changes in Violet's expression.She smiled and scoffed, "Don't make wild guesses. He was just a bastard who worked for Carl. He helped Carl move the near-dying Whitney to the crocodile pond."Violet couldn't help but say, "But … Whitney wasn't at the crocodile pond."She still had vivid memories of her journey to the crocodile pond. The bloody pond indeed had human blood.But didn't Reed tell her that Whitney wasn't there?Besides, Violet had gone to the pond herself and was in close contact with the crocodiles. She was sure that Whitney had not been sent there."She's indeed not at the crocodile pond. She's at a pl
Violet hadn't identified the caller before her phone was knocked off. A man's pleasant voice quickly followed. "Sorry."Violet frowned and looked at the man who approached her. He had his head down and seemed like he was in a hurry."Sorry, really sorry," the man sincerely apologized while he scrambled to help Violet pick up the phone. However, a grin flashed across his face as his ploy was successful."It's okay," Violet replied indifferently and took her phone back from the man."Sorry, I'm rushing to catch my flight. I'm really sorry." The man smiled apologetically and went past Violet, sprinting forward.Violet realized the time. It was 20 minutes before her flight would take off.She couldn't waste more time!After her flight ticket was checked, she rushed to the boarding gate. The flight had arrived. She quickly boarded the plane with her belongings.She was rushing throughout the whole process. Of course she didn't realize that her phone had been tampered with.By the t
While Carl had left, Violet was restless for a long time.Carl had been absolutely attentive to Isabelle, which made Violet clench her fists in frustration.She didn't know why Carl would bring Isabelle here, but she was sure that the two of them had no good intentions.Maybe Carl had come with Isabelle to obtain the family crest from Donald as soon as possible.As she thought of this, Violet grew more determined. She couldn't let them get the family crest. She must get it before they did.Her eyes narrowed, and she returned to the sofa like a stealthy cat. She went through the surveillance footage of every corridor.After going through more than 150 pieces of footage, her eyes grew tired. Unfortunately, she couldn't spot Donald.Was Donald not in any of these rooms?No way!She must have missed something.Violet had her assumptions, and she regained her focus on several luxurious rooms with a golden theme. She studied the surveillance footage carefully.Maybe the heavens ha
Violet didn't answer. She only swung her fist toward Carl's chest, hitting him again and again. She thought that this time, Carl would definitely fight back, so she could pretend to back away from him and escape quickly from the window.However, she miscalculated. Carl couldn't bear to hurt her, much less let her leave.He grabbed Violet's fists while his expression was tense. He gritted out, "Violet, if you do not wish to be the next one to lie on Donald's bed, you better listen to me." His tone was very low, but there was no mistaking his threatening growl.He inched closer toward Violet's face while his hand traveled up Violet's arm."Let go of me!" Violet glared at him and tried to attack him. Yet, the laughter outside the door grew louder, making Violet grimace. She could only hide in the closet for now.She was here to steal the Whites' family crest, not argue with Carl."That's a good girl." Carl saw that Violet hid in the closet and smiled lightly. He quickly made a mess
"Uh-huh." Violet reached out and hugged Carl. There was deep affection in her voice."I've conceived two children for you, and you've been pretty nice to me recently. Who else should I marry if not you?"Great joy rose in Carl's eyes after listening to Violet.After all the ordeals they had gone through, she finally agreed to marry him!Violet chuckled when she saw Carl unconsciously getting excited. Her heart was filled with satisfaction.She said on purpose, "But if you're not serious about marrying me, I won't be serious about marrying you too. We can get a divorce once I give birth to the baby. How about that?""I won't let you leave me." Carl held Violet tightly, looking anxious as if she would disappear all of a sudden.His heart was satisfied when he felt her warmth in his embrace. He lifted her up and spun around in excitement. He looked like a kid who got candies, which stunned Maverick as he entered.Maverick then lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Carl, this
"Vi, promise me you won't risk yourself ever again. Please trust me no matter what happens." Carl hugged Violet in fear.Violet nodded and leaned on his shoulder. She said softly, "Carl, if you hadn't shown yourself on television, I wouldn't have fallen for Benilio's trap easily. Then, Silvia wouldn't have kidnapped me.""Yes, it's my fault." Carl tightened his arms around Violet. "Vi, I've been wanting to ask you something. I don't know if you would give me an answer.""What?" Violet rested in his arms. She was getting sleepy after using her wits and energy against Silvia."Help me keep these two keys. When I need it, help me open a box." Carl took out two heart-shaped keys like a magician, giving them to Violet.Violet took the keys and looked at them carefully. She couldn't find anything special about them. She nodded and agreed to Carl's request."Okay, anything else?" Violet was getting more sleepy."There's something more, but I can't tell you about it right now." Carl loo
"Carl, I'll settle things with you next time."Silvia knew she would be at a disadvantage if she continued fighting with Carl. Without waiting for Carl to strike, she took out a poison gas bomb with itching powder added to it.She threw it at Carl. The poison gas bomb landed on the floor and exploded immediately. As Carl backed off quickly, Silvia used the opportunity to escape in a flash.Carl only went after Silvia when the gas dissipated. Silvia had already reached the entrance of the restaurant with one injured leg. She took a pregnant lady hostage and left quickly."Contact the Zuissian police and lock down the city. They must catch Silvia and save the pregnant lady."Carl came out from the kitchen, and Maverick immediately went up to him and told him about the current dangerous situation.Carl made a quick decision and asked Maverick to deal with it accordingly. Then, he looked around and asked for Whitney's and Mick's whereabouts."Whitney and Mick? Did they come here?" M
Benilio asked for the votes to be finalized and combined with the judges' choices. He was about to announce Carl as the winner when the crowd suddenly erupted.It turned out that a plump foodie who only ate Carl's walnut cake suddenly collapsed. Her foaming mouth indicated that she was poisoned."What? Who would be so evil to kill us?" The foodies were horrified. Some of them screamed and became restless.The restaurant went into chaos at once. Amidst the mess, a cold smile formed on Silvia's lips. She quickly snuck into the kitchen where Carl was at."Arrest those troublemakers and send them to the police. Keep calming the crowd down." Maverick watched as Silvia sneaked away with a smile on his face. He gave his orders calmly.The Walkers' bodyguards, who had been on standby, received Maverick's instructions. They immediately contacted the Zuissian police headquarters and asked for police cars to take away the troublemakers.They also got Carl's and Nathaniel's walnut cakes exam
The plump woman stared at her watch gloomily. Her expression turned uglier the more time had passed. A few female foodies wanted to chat with her, but they backed off once they met her gaze.Soon, there was an empty space surrounding the plump woman that separated her from the crowd.Maverick and the Demon King stood on the upper floor, looking at the situation downstairs with their eyebrows furrowed hard."Mr. Walker, I think I found Silvia." Maverick took a photo of the ground floor and sent it to Carl."Since she showed up here, it means she must've everything ready where Annabel is kept at. Our men are rushing over to Annabel. You must ask our men to protect Violet, too. I suspect that …""They've found Annabel. She's safe and sound. But there was a pool of blood there. They don't know whose blood it was." Carl cut Maverick off.He continued, "Maverick, I've done everything to keep Violet safe."All you have to do is to keep an eye on the foodies. There are real foodies amon
"Demon King, I'm right outside the door. Come out for a second. I've something to give you." Maverick thought about it and called the Demon King.At that time, the Demon King had just slightly recovered from the blow of losing Annabel. He frowned a little when he received Maverick's sudden phone call.His fingers trembled, and he really wanted to reject the call. But when he thought of his beloved Annabel, he picked up."Huh?" The Demon King heard Maverick as soon as he picked up. He furrowed his eyebrows."You're outside? What about Annabel? You didn't come with her?"The Demon King was obviously disappointed. He thought by speaking with Maverick on the phone, he could hear Annabel's voice a little.Violet sat right beside the Demon King. She curled her lips when she saw the Demon King sulking like a kid.She thought that the Demon King and Annabel would make a pretty good couple if there was no Maverick. The Demon King had never dated anyone, and he would treasure Annabel."Y
"Carl, there are many special ways to propose. You can look it up on the Internet or ask for help from someone more experienced in love. For example, Ray from our company is pretty good at it." Annabel continued to suggest.Carl's face darkened even more when he heard that.Ray didn't even know how to pursue a woman properly. Yet he knew how to propose to someone? Quit joking!"Annabel, you don't have to worry about this. You just have to focus on recuperating," Carl said bossily and hung up.Annabel snickered when she heard the call was disconnected.Oh, Carl. He was undeniably good in business, but when it came to women …"It really is true that genius men can be complete fools in some other ways." Annabel sighed.Maverick had just finished carrying out Carl's orders. He got the stuff ready and was about to tell Annabel that he was going to send the stuff to Carl. It was at this moment that he heard Annabel's random comment."Annabel, are you talking about me?" He grinned. He
"Kiera, I won't give up." Nathaniel strengthened his resolve after looking at the pictures."What's the point?" Kiera disagreed."There's plenty of nice people in the world. Even if you don't like me, there are so many excellent women out there. Why can't you find someone among them?""I can't. I can't find anyone else like Vi ever again." His voice became lower as if he was caught up in his memories."I've decided from the first moment I saw her. Ever since I met her when we were young, I was bound to protect her for the rest of my life. I'll be her knight in shining armor forever.""Kiera, I've made these desserts for Vi, and I need your help to give it to her. I'll drive there right now. You just have to come out for a moment." Nathaniel's pleading voice came from the phone. Kiera couldn't bear to refuse. She let him drive over and agreed to take the desserts.Nathaniel was overjoyed and immediately left in his car.He was in a hurry. He didn't realize that after he left, a
Whitney, who had been hiding in the dark, curled her lips when she saw the interaction between the two.She grinned. She would matchmake Nathaniel and Kiera so that they could leave Violet and Carl alone. This was the life Whitney wanted."Ms. Quartley, keep up the good work. I'll create more opportunities for you guys," Whitney swore to herself."Whitney, I'll help you." While Whitney was thinking about ways to get Kiera and Nathaniel together, Mick's calm voice sounded next to her ear.Whitney knitted her eyebrows and looked to the side. She pouted in dissatisfaction."You'll help me? Do you know how to pursue a girl? Do you have previous experience that can help me bring Mr. Nathaniel and Ms. Quartley together?"Whitney put her hands on her hips like a spoiled girlfriend."I don't." Mick's gaze dimmed. But when he saw Whitney's smile, he strengthened his resolve."But I'll help you with everything I've got. Besides, although I've never pursued a girl, my dad has plenty of ex
