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
Carl's gaze darkened. He was in a hurry to save Whitney. He even started regretting that he had kept himself from women back then.He started thinking that had he bedded any woman, maybe he wouldn't be short of umbilical cord blood now.However, this wasn't enough for him to agree to Isabelle's request.He was a clean freak emotionally. Ever since he met Violet, he couldn't get it on with any other woman in that way.If Isabelle hadn't gotten pregnant, he would've latched onto Violet forever.Now, Violet had ruined Whitney's hope of survival …Carl gave a small sigh as he thought of this.He brooded for a moment. Then, he asked Isabelle to take good care of herself.He said, "Isabelle, I'm really sorry that the baby's gone. I'll take good care of you until your body recovers. After that, you can find someone new who suits you.""No! Carl …" Isabelle seemed to have not expected this from Carl. She looked at him in shock, covered her mouth, and wept.There was regret, frustrati
"No." Nathaniel shook his head.Whitney did not die. How would he find her dead body?"Then …" Violet secretly exhaled in relief. "What did you want to tell me?""Violet, actually, Whitney's …""Nathaniel, who's here?" Nathaniel wanted to continue when someone cut him off. He frowned and looked at the person who was approaching them.The woman who came had a cold expression. She seemed to disagree with Nathaniel's decision to tell Violet the truth."Mom, why did you come here?" Nathaniel's expression also turned icy."Why can't I come? It seems that you've brought my future daughter-in-law here. Of course I must meet her, no?" She quirked an eyebrow at Nathaniel before looking at Violet.The woman was clad in a Prada dress, showing off her fair skin and elegant outfit. She had a faint smile on her face and possessed a dignified air.She smiled a little as she stretched out her hand toward Violet. "Violet, I've always heard about you from Nathaniel. He really thinks of you as a
Violet had just returned home. She hadn't even opened the door before an icy voice said, "Violet, where's the family crest? Give it to me now." A fierce shadow flashed over immediately afterward.It went straight for Violet's neck, wanting to seize her.But Violet was no easy opponent.Besides, she had precautions.When the man thought he had hidden well, Violet already smelled his scent.If she weren't confident in her abilities, she would have left while the man didn't notice. She wouldn't have waited until the man had struck.She had a faint smile on her lips as she quickly threw a needle toward the man. While the man was fazed, she punched him in the chest.While her moves had gotten slower after she got pregnant, her skills with the gold needles were getting better.She shot another gold needle at the man and stunned him before he could react."Violet, don't get happy now. Our men are already around the corner." The man cackled. He wasn't afraid even though he couldn't
An arrogant smile formed on the man's face. He said, "Violet, if you beg for mercy now, maybe I can leave you with some dignity and keep men from defiling you after you're dead.""You're ridiculous." Violet looked at the man in silence. A faint smirk appeared on her lips.She had never been afraid of challenges. She wouldn't back down just because she was pregnant.Although the baby was incredibly special to her, it wouldn't stop her from being even stronger.She understood that if pregnancy meant an obstacle to an assassin like her, then both she and her baby would meet death.For her baby and for herself, she quickly struck back when the man wasn't prepared.Her moves were fast to begin with. She had gotten even faster as she thought about her baby.The man felt a hard blow at his abdomen before he could do anything.He attacked Violet's chest in frustration. Violet caught the timing and took hold of his neck. A thin, long gold needle was right against his throat.The man
