"Isabelle," Silvia interrupted her, "I know what happened between you and Raven. Are you still going to hide what you did?"Isabelle's gaze darkened. It seemed like nothing escaped Silvia's watchful eyes. Now, what consequences was she going to face?"Master!" Isabelle wailed. "I was wrong, forgive me! I shouldn't have acted on my own. "But I just wanted to help you test Violet and push her to act more realistically."Silvia scoffed. She saw through Isabelle's lies and felt disgusted. "Update me on the family crest." Silvia ignored Isabelle's wailing. "I gave you such a long time that you should be able to give me a satisfactory answer.""Master …" The moment Isabelle heard the words "family crest", her face paled. She was looking for it for a very long time, but in the end, she found nothing."What's wrong?" Silvia's voice was icy. "You haven't found it yet?" Her tone was threatening, and Isabelle knew that she was about to become furious.Isabelle's gaze became frighten
Carl knew very well that his past actions caused irreparable hurt to Violet. He knew she wanted to ignore him, but he couldn't help missing her.When he saw her, he wanted to keep her by his side all the time. Even if she hated him, it would be better than letting her suffer and get hurt in some place he could not see.Right now, all he wanted was to pull her into his arms, lock her in his embrace, and threaten her to promise to never leave him. But seeing her clear gaze and slightly furrowed brows, he knew that this was impossible right now.He sighed and then gazed deeply into her eyes. "Vi, you're still injured. You shouldn't go out." His tone was light with a hint of sadness.Violet was stunned for a while, but then she continued, "I'm fine."Carl knew about Violet's condition. Although she wasn't poisoned, she had been hanging in midair for so long. Her health wasn't the best in the first place. Then, she fought Silvia and her subordinates for Reed. Her strength should ha
"Carl, no matter what you want to do, I won't go against you. It's not because I don't want to, but it's because I can't," Violet said truthfully."If you threaten me with someone I care about, I will have no choice but to surrender.""Vi …" Carl became dejected, and then he took a deep breath. When he looked at Violet again, his ruthless, cold arrogance returned."Violet, since you are not willing to exchange with me, then I can only order you to stay with me." Carl continued, "Cordex Group's CEO and general manager aren't looking too good. We're considering whether we should get it back.""Carl!" Violet was exasperated and reluctant. But thinking of Jane and the others and her conversation with the Demon King, she nodded after some hesitation."That's a good girl. Vi, where do you want to go? I'll go with you." Carl smiled as if a burden just lifted from his shoulders. Under the glow of the warm light, his sweet smile was charming. Violet's gaze flickered, but she said
"Let me broaden your horizons today, Ms. Cooper. Forget about the video. Witness it in person." Ethan enjoyed watching Violet's puzzled expression.After a clap, he stepped aside, and faint footsteps came from the stairs.Frowning, Violet listened carefully. She could tell that three people were coming—two women and a man, all familiar faces."Nina, go greet Ms. Cooper," Ethan instructed as the trio entered.Just as Nina was walking over to Violet, she was abruptly stopped in her tracks.Puzzled, she turned around, only to be met with a resounding slap from Seth. He shouted, "Don't forget who your master is!"After that, he shifted his gaze to Isabelle.Despite the scar on her face, Isabelle exuded a seductive charm. A scarlet rose adorned her cheek, adding a lethal allure to her every move."Ms. Isabelle." Nina hurriedly kneeled, seeking forgiveness."Go ahead, Nina. We're old friends," Isabelle said with a faint smile as she approached Nina.Despite the permission, Nina dar
Isabelle looked at Violet with an icy gaze."Violet, it's better for you to hand over your weapon. Otherwise, if Ethan gets ruthless, you might be crippled."Looking at Violet's bound hands, she giggled. "Perhaps we should break your hands first."She walked behind Violet as she spoke, bending down to grab her sleeve.Violet wasn't done with what she was trying to do, so she couldn't let Isabelle touch her.Though she was bound to the chair, she suddenly tilted toward Isabelle in a swift movement.Isabelle dodged quickly, but she was still hit in the waist by Violet. Losing her balance, she leaned forward, almost falling to the ground.Fortunately, Seth rushed over to catch her."Ethan, why don't you break her hands already?" Isabelle exclaimed, both shocked and fearful.That damn Violet! If she hadn't dodged in time and been saved by Seth, she would have embarrassed herself.Damn it! Why was it always her at a disadvantage?Isabelle seethed with envy, her beautiful face twi
"Isabelle." Seth hesitated, looking at Isabelle.Was capturing Violet more important than her own life? But even if she was willing to sacrifice her life, he couldn't bear it.It wasn't easy for him to make her be with him. How could he bear to let her die?Seth's gaze darkened. After hesitating, he finally spoke coldly, seemingly agreeing to Violet's demand.Isabelle, while tilting her neck backward, glared at Seth. "If you dare to let Violet go, I'll never forgive you."She seemed willing to risk her life to kill Violet.When Violet heard that, she smiled. The hand holding the gold needle moved closer to Isabelle.As the tip touched Isabelle's fair skin, about to pierce it, Isabelle's legs went weak in terror."Isabelle, I can't let anything happen to you!" Seth exclaimed anxiously.Looking at Violet, he coldly said, "I'll let you go, but you can't harm her in the slightest, or—""Enough of your babbling!" Violet cut off Seth, slowly removing the gold needle."Go!" She pin
The Demon King gazed at Violet with a complex expression, instantly reminding him of his childhood.Before becoming the world's top hacker, he was just an orphan at the Sunshine Welfare Home.He had a sister who was his everything. She didn't speak much but always cared for him.She would apply ointment for him when he was hurt and take the punishment for him when he made mistakes.The Demon King vividly remembered a time when the welfare home manager's granddaughter called him names and even accused his mother of being a "shameless woman" who abandoned them for a man.Being young, he was naturally furious and got into a fight with the girl, leaving her with a scratched arm.The girl cried to the welfare home manager, demanding that the Demon King be kicked out and left to die on the streets along with his sister.But the manager didn't comply. Instead, he gave the Demon King and his sister a mysterious look.The Demon King couldn't recall exactly what the manager did, but he r
Violet led the Demon King and the others away from there. Then, the Demon King hurriedly approached her. "Violet, Isabelle had hurt you. Why not seek revenge?" he asked with a hint of displeasure.He was the kind of person who couldn't let the smallest offense go unpunished. If someone dared to hurt him, they'd face the consequences."I already have," she replied, a faint smile on her lips. She locked eyes with him. Her next words carried a profound meaning. "Sometimes, the most powerful payback isn't a direct strike. What goes around comes around in due time.""Is that so?" The Demon King frowned, still struggling to understand Violet's reasoning."Annabel, take Violet and leave first. I need to go back and check on something," he ordered, turning to leave."Okay." Annabel nodded. "Remember, don't ruin Violet's plan.""Of course." The Demon King paused for a bit. His deep gaze fixed on Violet.Under the sunlight, Violet wore a faint smile, but she was confident in her plan.
