Plan TRB was a drug research project started by the world-renowned Eviante Group. If it weren't for Whitney and Violet's poor health, Carl might not have considered investing.But Carl did not expect that the plan he had prepared for such a long time would be taken by the Cordex Group, which was managed by Violet.Carl didn't care how Violet stole Plan TRB. What he cared about was whether the plan could be realized as quickly and excellently under Violet's management."Of course," Carl responded lightly and asked Violet to go upstairs for a good chat.Both of them were business geniuses. Although Violet had not been exposed to the business world for a long time, her ability to develop Cordex Group in a short time showed her outstanding talent.Therefore, Carl also smiled many times during his conversation with Violet.Although the smile was suppressed, Violet could still feel it.Violet's heart couldn't help but soften, but then she thought of Whitney and toughened herself up
"It's my fault indeed." Nathaniel figured everything out and immediately looked at Violet worriedly. "You have to help her recover well.""Sure." Dr. Carey was helpless as she just couldn't do anything when it came to Nathaniel.This man was gentle, rich, and respected women. How could she not love him?Dr. Carey examined Violet again and prescribed her some medicine to regulate her body and nourish her fetus. Then, she patted Nathaniel's shoulder solemnly."The baby is almost three months old, but the fetal image is not very stable. Be careful not to make her too exhausted, and don't let her do strenuous exercise. It is easy to miscarry," Dr. Carey said."Yes. Of course," Nathaniel promised.Nathaniel glanced at the sleeping Violet. Her petite body had endured so much that he could no longer bear to tell her about Whitney.Although he knew that Violet would be happy to know that Whitney was alive, Violet would definitely be extremely sad if Whitney left suddenly.If it were no
With Ted's help, Violet's pressure had reduced greatly.Her initial seven to eight-hour fight was reduced to just one hour. Sometimes, she didn't personally fight the enemy because someone else took care of it for her.Violet was very grateful for this, but she couldn't figure out who helped her.She called Novya and Silvia to ask them, but they both denied it.Violet thought of Carl for a moment, but thinking about their hatred toward each other, she shook her head.Carl believed she was the one who killed Lucy, so why would he help her?Violet suspected all possible people and, finally, thought about Nathaniel.Only Nathaniel could help and protect her without any consideration now.Violet was very grateful to Nathaniel, but she didn't want to point it out to Nathaniel.After all, if she didn't bring it up, she and Nathaniel could live their lives in harmony.And once she confronted him, it meant that she must face Nathaniel's feelings and accept him.Her heart was dead, a
But the facts remained unchanged. Whitney adored her daddy and loved her mommy. She wanted her daddy to take good care of her mommy. Even though she knew that Nathaniel loved her mommy, she didn't want him to replace Carl."But my mommy has a great weakness. It's a secret known only to me. Since you saved my life, I decided to tell you," Whitney said mysteriously."You're quite the little troublemaker," Nathaniel said. He looked at Whitney, feeling slightly relieved."Since it's your mommy's weakness, then keep it to yourself." He bent down, gently touching Whitney's cheek. "Whitney, take good care of yourself. That's my condition.""Alright. I promise you, I will fight the illness. While you must help me take good care of my mommy." Whitney blinked her eyes. In her definition, this "care" held a different meaning.Nathaniel was a smart man and immediately understood Whitney's unspoken words.She didn't want Nathaniel to be overly kind to Violet for fear of making her uncomfort
Violet stood still and observed the departing figures in silence. Her lips tightened.Her gaze dimmed for a moment. She quickly called Jane and urged her to pick up the pace.Jane then immediately sent over a document.Violet examined the document. A faint, sly smile tugged at her lips.When Maverick arrived at Violet's apartment, she had already stashed away the document.Violet stood emotionless by the open window, her slender figure unaffected by the howling, frigid wind. Despite the cold, her demeanor remained composed and enchanting."Violet, darling." Maverick approached Violet."Maverick, I'm not the Violet you used to know anymore." She was cold.The lingering gaze from Carl as he departed was etched in her memory. The complexity of emotions in that glance remained a puzzle that even Violet couldn't solve completely."How could it be? You're still as beautiful and charming as ever." Maverick understood what Violet meant, but he intentionally changed the topic."Vi
"Follow my instructions, and I can guarantee your safety and reward you with a large sum of money. Otherwise, you'll return to Seth," Isabelle threatened."Ms. Isabelle …" Nina was on her knees, her voice trembling with desperation."It seems you'd rather return to Seth." Isabelle's expression turned cold as she pretended to dial Seth's number.Nina knew the fate that awaited her if she went back to Seth. She immediately nodded in agreement, her face turning pale.And that was how Isabelle had Nina to carry out their wicked plan."Ms. Isabelle, I'm sorry." Nina had just finished the plan. She was visibly shaken and collapsed to the floor.The recent events had been too terrifying. Nina was overwhelmed by guilt."Change your clothes and leave quickly." Isabelle was clutching her stomach. She handed Nina her original clothes."Ms. Isabelle?" Nina was now dressed, but she hesitated to leave.Nina had severely wounded Isabelle just moments ago. She felt torn by guilt and unease. "
After Carl chose a specific time, the video automatically started playing.The video depicted the bone-chilling voice of "Violet" and her obvious contempt for Isabelle."Why do you get to have a child while mine is gone?" In the video footage, "Violet" grabbed Isabelle's chin, her eyes filled with hatred."Please, spare me. Carl, help me." Isabelle's face turned pale, and her tears streamed down. She backed away, yelling for help."What's the point of calling him? Do you think he can keep you out of trouble?"Let me tell you, Isabelle, there's nothing and no one that can stop me from doing what I need to do," "Violet" threatened while gripping Isabelle's chin.Watching "Violet" with her hand on Isabelle's chin, Carl's fists also clenched tightly.Vi, oh, Violet.Carl knew Violet held a grudge against him for what had happened with Whitney. But he wondered why she treated Isabelle so brutally.Did Violet not realize that the child growing within Isabelle was Whitney's hope?A
Once everyone had left, the ones remaining were Violet, Carl, and Isabelle."I'm fine, Carl. But I couldn't protect your baby …" Isabelle covered her mouth and sobbed. "Violet, I don't care how you want to plot your revenge against me. But why in the world did you have to hurt my child? He was so small. He had just begun to take shape. He hasn't even gotten the chance to look at the world …""My baby … I'm so sorry, it's all Mommy's fault," Isabelle grieved harder as she cried.She had thought that getting rid of the baby was the best option. It could end her relationship with Seth, help her frame Violet, and let her stay by Carl's side to search for the Walkers' family crest.She could achieve three things in one move.But she didn't expect that she would feel hurt and emotional the moment the baby was taken out of her belly.She regretted it a little. Why did she use such a tiny baby to frame Violet?Despite this, what else could she use if not the baby?She knew very well
"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
