The big screen wasn't far from Nathaniel and Violet. The two of them were on the screen. Violet could see herself, with her big belly, and Nathaniel standing happily beside her.He was smiling so happily in satisfaction, as if he was the king of the world when he was by her side.Violet thought of Carl out of the blue. He was thousands of miles away.If he saw what happened today, how would he react?Would he be enraged?Or would he fly here and kill Nathaniel?A faint smile crept on her face when she thought that Carl might see this.He was such a proud person. He would go mad if he saw it, wouldn't he?"Violet, I've loved you for a long, long time. I've loved you for 20 years. That's one-fifth of my whole life."Before the clock strikes at noon, do you promise me to go back to when we were kids? Do you promise me to stare at the beautiful world together in wonder? Do you promise to spend the rest of your life with me?"Nathaniel got down on one knee and stared lovingly at V
"Ray, it's time for you to give our enemy a warning." Carl contacted Ray with a smile.Ray knew it was time to wrap up their plan once he received the call."Yes, Mr. Walker," he answered. He acted according to their plan and caught Marilyn when she was tampering with the company's business.As the board of directors from the Walkers and important people in business and politics were all present, Marilyn was captured immediately. She was sentenced to death for many crimes, including corporate espionage and theft.She was executed at Zeloth's police station immediately.Marilyn was an important subordinate of Silvia's. Her sudden death enraged Silvia. But other than anger, Silvia also felt suspicious.After all, she thought Carl wouldn't be smart enough to notice Marilyn, who had kept her cover well.As for the missing Fiona, they recently found her in a human trafficking den. She was delirious.According to the traffickers, she had been there for some time. So, she couldn't hav
While Silvia was leading the rest of them in front, the assassins followed her from the back.They were experts and hid themselves really well. Silvia sensed she was being trailed, but she didn't find anyone when she turned to look at the back.She felt alarmed by the weird situation. She pretended to be calm and told Miranda that the main entrance was nearby. She said that she had a stomach ache and needed to relieve herself, asking Miranda to go first."Silvia, you're not lying to me, are you?" Miranda was more careful now that she was getting closer to her dream.Silvia had tricked her many times. Miranda learned that to avoid being tricked again, the best way was to follow Silvia closely. No matter what Silvia said, she shouldn't leave her."How would I lie to you? I'm feeling unwell." Silvia frowned, replying to her. She turned and walked toward the back.Miranda didn't believe Silvia to begin with. When she saw Silvia turning around, looking like she was leaving, Miranda or
Squinting her eyes slightly, Silvia pounced on Carl.Her movements were swift, like a flying eagle in the sky. She suddenly struck at the weakest part of Carl's body.Carl sneered coldly. He was calm when she approached him. He stretched out his arm and grabbed her shoulder, pressing hard on it.Silvia only heard the sound of her bone dislocating. A sharp pain came from her shoulder blade.Carl actually crushed her shoulder blades.Silvia was hateful and furious from the pain, but there was a trace of disappointment in her eyes. She looked rather pitiful, which would soften people up.She spoke like a siren from the sea, persuading Carl, "Carl, have you forgotten our friendship back then? So what if I hurt our teacher? I never thought of hurting you, right?"Carl, do you still remember how we were the only two Zerians back then? Do you remember how he insulted Zeria? He humiliated our country. Shouldn't I have punished him a little?""I've forgotten everything." Carl frowned wh
Over at Violet's place, Maverick glanced sheepishly at Annabel next to him after he ended the call.Annabel was looking at him with a raised eyebrow. She seemed to dislike him lying to Carl just now."Annabel, I only said it to urge Carl to come back to Vi quickly."Think about it. Vi is pregnant with Carl's baby, and Carl loves Vi a lot."If they're together, they'll be good to the baby and live with their children happily ever after. Don't you think so?"Maverick inched closer to Annabel and grinned shyly.Annabel didn't respond."Annabel, you said before that birth parents are the best in the world. I'm just following what you said."Seeing that Annabel kept silent, Maverick tried to persuade her, "Annabel, you …""Maverick, you're so annoying!" Violet cut him off and looked gently at Annabel."Annabel, it's true that Maverick broke your heart in the past. But the past is in the past."The Maverick now likes you a lot. If you're willing, it won't hurt to give him a chance
"A death wish?" Nathaniel turned around when he heard that, facing his back toward Carl. He let his sadness swallow him.He had long reached a dead end the moment he knew Violet was in love with Carl.Yet Carl said he wanted to show Nathaniel what a death wish meant?He smiled wryly. He was in love with Violet, who loved another man. He already had a death wish, and he would willingly walk to his death for Violet. But Carl dared to threaten him?Did Carl think death was the cruelest punishment for Nathaniel?No, absolutely not!He couldn't stand them being happily in love. The cruelest punishment was that he had to see how happy they were while pretending he wasn't in love with Violet.He would be jealous of their happiness but bitter if they were sad.His feelings depended on Violet and Carl's relationship. He couldn't live as he did before. He had nothing to look forward to and be happy about.Nathaniel loved Violet. He loved her stubbornly. He wouldn't change his mind even
"You can cook it for anyone!"Violet turned her face away. She still remembered Carl's first omelet. It was the worst dish in the world, and in no way was she eating that again."I only cook for you," Carl replied stubbornly. He held Whitney with one arm and reached out the other, forcefully pulling Violet into his embrace."Come on, it's time to make omelets for Whitney and my dear Vi." Carl chuckled happily.Mick trailed behind as he watched as Carl held Whitney in his arms. Whitney smiled happily, and Mick smiled, too.He would give Whitney all the happiness she wanted, no matter at present or in the future.Nathaniel walked closely alongside Mick.He had been gripping his fists hard with hatred from the moment Carl bent down and kissed Violet. He was oblivious to his fingernails digging into his palm, blood dripping on the floor.If not for Kiera noticing him early, he was still staring blankly in the direction where Violet and the others had left. She took her first aid ki
Whitney was worried for Carl, but Carl had a confident smile on his face.His determined expression made Nathaniel frown. Suddenly, Nathaniel thought of something, and a smile crept on his lips."Mr. Walker, I'm sure you want the results to be fair and square instead of people trying to flatter us on purpose, right?" Nathaniel asked with a raised eyebrow."Of course," Carl answered without hesitation."Then, let's get the local people to randomly choose 20 foodies. If more than one-third of those foodies like your dish, I'll admit defeat."Nathaniel's determined gaze annoyed Carl, and the mockery in his eyes angered Carl even more."Okay," Carl agreed quickly. He held Whitney in his arms, rushing to Violet's side. He pulled Violet into his arms."Vi, you don't want to taste my cooking either, do you?" Carl asked, seemingly sad."It's not because of that." Violet shook her head and continued, "But I've become pickier these days. There's a lot of things I dislike, for example, gr
