Nathaniel's heart was bleeding as he loved her so deeply, and in order to make her happy, he was willing to sacrifice everything.But on condition that she should live healthily and not be threatened by anyone, let alone be in danger at any time.Obviously, Carl was now surrounded by enemies, and he could not protect Violet at all.Since he was not capable of doing so, Nathaniel would naturally protect his most beloved woman."Violet, I am the only one in this world who can protect you." Nathaniel's gaze was very firm."No, I don't need anyone to protect me." Violet shook her head.No one understood his thoughts better than her.He was indeed very kind to her, but this did not become a reason for her to rely on him.Although her strength was not as good as before, she could still protect herself and Whitney with her own intelligence. She didn't need anyone's help."Nathaniel, I don't want to cause you any trouble. Although the situation we're in is a bit critical, I believe we
Carl started to worry again.When he thought of such possibilities, his voice turned cold, and he spoke in a mean way, "Nathaniel, it seemed like I gave you too much time. I wanna take back what I said."As he spoke, he attacked Nathaniel.Nathaniel may have considered himself on par with Carl in terms of intellectual prowess, particularly in computer skills. But when it came to physical strength and martial arts, he lagged behind. Even with his best efforts to stand up to Carl, he found himself on the receiving end of Carl's fists, a punch landing squarely on his nose within the first three moves.Blood trickled from Nathaniel's nose as he wiped it away, a sinister smile playing on his lips as he charged at Carl once more."Bring Mrs. Walker to her room!" Carl didn't even apologize for the fight and even ordered someone to take Violet away.Violet didn't want to leave, of course. She snorted and stood in front of Nathaniel as she passed him a tissue."Violet, don't worry. I w
Fiona felt a jolt in her heart as she began to speak, ready to explain. However, when she made eye contact with Maverick, who seemed to be encouraging her with his gaze, she hesitated.Maverick's timing couldn't have been more perfect, making her consider the possibility of being manipulated.With Caria's death, Fiona seemed to have matured instantly. Even though she had a thousand words she wanted to say to Maverick at this moment, the thought of being used made her give a cold, dismissive smile. She even admitted to things she hadn't done."I was so discreet, but you still managed to find me. Maverick, I really didn't underestimate you. I have nothing to say. Do whatever you want," Fiona said, turning her face away.Maverick laughed coldly at Fiona's apparent resignation to death. He was going to order his men to deal with Fiona as planned when he was distracted by a soft laugh.Aside from the annoying Demon King, Maverick couldn't think of a more fitting person with that damage
It should have been irritating. But when Silvia's cherry lips spoke those words, accompanied by her gentle gaze, it made even the maids blush red. Nodding, they quickly left, closing the door behind Silvia.As soon as the maids left, Silvia called Carl.…At Horizon Group, Carl was watching a video of Marilyn talking on her phone. As Carl heard his phone rang, his tone turned chilly."Who is this?" Carl's cold voice echoed through the receiver.Silvia chuckled. "Carl, after all these years and the times spent together, you can't even recognize my voice?""It's you?" Carl furrowed his brows.Silvia's recent absence of attacks gave him a feeling that something suspicious might be at play.He had sent spies to the Simmon residence to monitor Silvia's every move. However, on each occasion, it was the same fate. Miranda discovered them as soon as they entered the premises, leading to their immediate execution. The corpses were then sent back to the Walker residence.After a coupl
"Are you all waiting to get fired? Stop Mr. Nathaniel now!" Miranda's sudden command echoed. She appeared reluctant to allow such a critical situation to unfold. She grabbed Nathaniel's hand and sank her teeth into it fiercely."Mom, what are you doing?" Nathaniel stopped abruptly, surprised by the sudden bite."What do you think? Your mom's trying to save you," a blunt voice cut in. Nathaniel frowned, shifting his gaze toward Silvia nearby, whose eyes gleamed with a dangerous light. She seemed more capable than he had initially thought.Having someone like her as a friend was risky. However, becoming an enemy would be an even riskier choice.And now, for Violet's safety, he had to get rid of this dangerous woman."Shut it!" Nathaniel exclaimed, lifting his hand to deliver a fatal shot at Silvia.The guards swiftly intervened, restraining Nathaniel. Two held him in place while the others disarmed him, breaking down the gun. They exchanged a remorseful glance with Nathaniel.
"I've got this covered. There's no need for you to worry. Carl and I will handle things. "Your job now is to pack your stuff. I'll get the helicopter ready, and we'll head straight to Zuisse," Maverick assured, scanning the area for Whitney and Mick.Upon realizing the two kids were missing, he furrowed his brows. Patting Annabel's shoulder, he quickly told her to look after Violet and left. After Maverick left, Annabel quickly helped Violet tidy up. Once everything was in order, she held Violet's hand and promised to stay by her side."I'm fine. You don't have to be so worried," Violet reassured with a smile. "Annabel, how are things between you and Maverick? Is he treating you well lately?""He's been really good to me." Annabel nodded. "He's taken me to various places and shared stories from the past. But I can't recall those things. I feel like maybe Maverick is making up stories to cheer me up."The current me is so reserved. How could I have followed Maverick so devoted
Elsa, the Walker family's matriarch, was a regular at high-profile social events. Her showing up meant word would soon get out about Violet heading to Zuisse.Now, Carl wasn't sending Violet to Zuisse for fun. He was doing it to keep her safe.With a serious look, Carl said, "Mom, I get where you're coming from, but the Horizon Group's about to hit a rough patch. "When it happens, there will undoubtedly be reporters seeking interviews. For the sake of Horizon Group, it wouldn't be appropriate for you to leave at this moment.""Carl? But let's be real, the Horizon Group isn't your top concern." Elsa sighed.Truth was, she had been getting well with Violet and genuinely wanted to fly to Zuisse to look after her.Elsa pondered whether Carl's reluctance to allow her to go to Zuisse was fueled by concerns that she might not treat Violet well."Mom, both you and Vi mean a lot to me. I genuinely love you both, and I want to avoid any complications. "That's why I'll do everything in
"Check the surveillance. You must find out Ms. Grey's whereabouts," Miranda ordered as she called Silvia.Her face paled when Silvia's number was not in service. She hated to admit it, but Silvia might have tricked her.Her heart sank as her confidence disappeared. She had to think of ways to stop Carl's attack and save the Simmonses from destruction.Miranda contacted Samuel first."Samuel, the Whites' family still has some forces in Zeloth, right? Lend me some of your men. When I manage to get the treasure, I'll give you half of it."Samuel thought about it and told Miranda where his men were. He reminded Miranda to keep her word before hanging up.After calling Samuel, Miranda contacted some savage forces who couldn't compare to Carl's and her men in Zeloth. She quickly gathered many men with average fighting skills to protect the Simmons residence.Miranda waited anxiously for Carl's attack, but there was no sign of Carl after half an hour. Instead, Ethan and the Walkers' bo
