Knowing his cooking skills, Carl was ready to be slammed by Violet's complaints.He didn't expect Violet to shut her eyes tight after eating the cherry tomato.After 15 seconds, she opened her eyes. They were welled up with tears."Who … made this?" Her voice trembled a little.The taste was so familiar. There would be no one else but him."Does it taste bad?" Carl asked nervously.There was only the chef and him who cooked in the kitchen. If Violet said it was bad, he didn't know where he would get a scapegoat.He had Maverick the last time, but now …"No …" Violet shook her head. She tasted the cherry tomato carefully and slowly swallowed the food.The familiar taste made her teary.Was it him? Was it Wills who had seen her brother for the last time?"Since it's not bad, eat up some more." Carl exhaled in relief and took another piece of cherry tomato for her.Violet ate it from the fork he held for her. After slowly chewing on the food, she looked at Carl again.Carl kn
"Daddy, you're finally back."Whitney wrapped her arms tightly around Carl's neck and said in a soft voice, "Have you settled the issue? Mommy hasn't slept well these three days. I don't know if she's worried about the issue or if she's worried about you!""Of course you don't have to listen to me." Carl was a little pissed off, but he immediately softened up when he heard what Whitney said."I'll listen to you. That should do the trick, right?""I didn't ask you to listen to me!" Violet frowned.Why did she feel like Carl was pulling something on her?"Well, do you want to listen to me then?" Carl chuckled."No!" Violet refused. She furrowed her eyebrows hard when she looked at Whitney in Carl's arms.If her memory didn't fail her, she had set some rules. Carl and Whitney shouldn't meet without her permission. Besides, she got to decide how long they would meet, right?"Whitney, it's bedtime. Your body is weak, and you need more rest," Violet said caringly, but her expression
Silvia had such a bad plan. Did she think he would reveal his true identity by sending only the Demon King here?She underestimated his capabilities.Although Silvia was a close friend of his mentor, so what?He fought for his career and achievements fair and square. He wouldn't obey them and do something he shouldn't and didn't want to do.Meanwhile, Carl was bound to be a fierce lion in their battle. He didn't like walking into the lion's den. He only wanted to help the lion.Did Carl know that he wanted to extend an olive branch?The judge sauntered out of the courtroom with a faint smile. His blank, cold face seemed more attractive and pleasant under the sunlight.Mick hid not far away, a smile creeping on his face when he saw the judge's change in attitude."Mr. Carl, it seems like he wanted to help us!" Mick turned his head to the side.He saw Carl on the phone with an icy expression. When Carl heard Mick, he nodded a little and continued his conversation."Maverick, Si
"Mommy, Daddy already knows about it. He even helped me complete my mission."Whitney explained with a chuckle, "We've gotten to the bottom of it. It had nothing to do with Horizon Group or the Night Crawlers."It was the Galactic League, with Silvia behind the whole thing. She had tricked the Interpol and caused us to misunderstand Daddy.""Really?" Violet raised her gaze at Carl.Carl nodded and held her tight, carrying her to the bedroom.Ethan quickly led his men in and took the man away. He took a deep look at Carl's leaving figure before hurrying off.That afternoon, a man covered in blood and a piece of paper was sent to the Galactic League's doorstep.The people who sent the man were the Walkers' best bodyguards. They put the man down and left quickly, giving Silvia no chance to ask about anything."How did you guys do your work? You can't even get information from an ordinary fat man?" Silvia's face was dark, and her gaze was brimming with rage in the hall.Damn it. W
Once they reached the dungeon, Ethan locked Wills and Fiona up separately and reported everything to Carl on the phone.Carl agreed with his decision. He instructed Ethan to interrogate them both and hung up. He quickly went to Violet's room.Whitney had left with Mick to deal with some things. Only Violet was left in the room. She paced around with a concerned frown, looking like she was worried over something."Vi, what's wrong? Did anything happen?" Carl went straight to Violet's side. He held her waist and was about to bring her to sit on the bed."I'm not tired," Violet refused him coldly.She hesitated before saying, "Carl, Nathaniel's in trouble. Miranda called me just now. I want to go and meet her.""You can't go." Carl's expression turned cold."Why?" Violet furrowed her eyebrows."I don't care about your worries. Nathaniel was my best friend. Now that he's in trouble, I must help him."You already have the Whites' family crest. Even if you want the Simmonses' family
Silvia's skull mask flashed with a chilly light as she sat high up above, making her angry eyes even more dangerous.The subordinate who was giving the report below trembled all over when he heard her, unable to say a single word.Nor did Silvia need him to say anything more. She put on a cold expression and shouted, "Go get the Demon King here. I have something to discuss with him.""I'm afraid we can't," the bodyguard beside Silvia reminded her."The Demon King had gone to the metal chain bridge a few days ago and was injured. I think it's beyond his physical ability to deal with this at the moment."Besides, more importantly, I can see that he's been treating Violet differently recently. I'm worried he would take the chance to side with the Night Crawlers.""Bring him to me!" Silvia cast a flat gaze at the bodyguard.She continued after thinking for a while, "Also, invite Mr. Wilson over here.""Yes, Master." The bodyguard nodded and hurried off to find the Demon King and Wi
"Okay." Carl nodded as he observed Violet's face."Well, it's not really a big deal if you don't want to. I was just planning to tell you what I've found about Jonah. But since you look occupied, I should leave."After he spoke, Carl got up and was about to leave.Carl walked and counted the seconds. When he counted to five, Violet's irritated voice came. "I'll do it!" "Now that's more like it." Carl smiled warmly. He quickly returned to Violet's side and held her in his arms.Under Violet's dissatisfied gaze, he set her on the bed and felt the water temperature with his hands. Once he felt it was just right, he removed Violet's shoes and socks and put her feet into the water.He was clearly experienced at it. Violet couldn't help but blush.She somehow thought of people way back in the past who had deemed men looking at women's ankles as improper and scandalous. Whoever had looked at a woman's ankle must marry that woman.What about her? Carl had grabbed her ankles so many ti
Wilson was angry. Very angry.He had liked Sophie Horan ever since they were in school. He had always treated her like a goddess, never daring to touch her.Yet, these bastards touched his goddess. They must have a death wish!"All of you, fight each other until there's only one of you left. Only come to me when you're done!" Wilson shouted coldly.He quickly left afterward—his dear Sophie seemed to be angry with him, and he must apologize to her fast!Wilson was absorbed in thinking of how to make it up to Silvia so she wouldn't be angry anymore. He skipped as he walked gleefully.But when he came to her door and saw the Demon King standing on guard, his face darkened."Demon King, why are you here? You've come back at a very coincidental time. I suspect that you totally planned the whole thing!"Wilson was still pissed about how much Silvia trusted the Demon King. The Demon King was a lowly subordinate with a mask. How could he compare to Wilson?When Silvia was about to be
"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
