"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
"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
"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
The bathroom was filled with steam, which condensed on the glass as water droplets and slid down. On the other side of the glass, a woman's figure could be vaguely seen. She brushed her hair away, revealing her pretty face.Her skin was fair, and her features were exquisite. Her eyes, in particular, were clear and untainted. She didn't show any expression, yet her face was still dazzlingly beautiful. Violet Cooper wiped off the steam on the glass and smiled at herself in the mirror.Today was her 18th birthday. To celebrate, she secretly came to the Royal Vacation Hotel, the best hotel in Zeloth. However, she did not spend any money on a room. Instead, she climbed in through the window.It was still early. Normally, this presidential suite was only booked after 8 pm. Violet felt tired after her shower, so she drew the curtains and decided to take a two-hour nap before leaving.At the same time, Violet's birthday present from the fates was heading toward her room."I'm tired. Don't bot
Six years passed.Violet was sleeping peacefully in her bed when a little girl shuffled into the room. The kid had a croissant in one hand and a lollipop in another.The girl put the food down and climbed into Violet's bed. "Mommy, I saw a very handsome man!" She tried to pry open Violet's eyelids, then flung herself across her chest."How handsome?" Violet asked blearily.The little girl blinked. Her eyes were bright and clear. She twisted her hair around her fingers and said brightly, "Very handsome!After that incident six years ago, Violet fell pregnant with this little girl. She had no idea who the child's father was, so she named her Whitney Cash. Cash was her last name because Violet loved money.Violet was still furious at the mere thought of that man.After the incident, she had gone back to the Royal Vacation Hotel to get the surveillance tapes. However, someone else had taken them all before she could. Until now, she still had no idea who had taken advantage of her th
Violet had an idea and brightened. She turned around smilingly and went back to her house.When she returned to Carl's villa, she was dressed as a man. She looked very handsome with her short hair and casual outfit.At the door, she was stopped by a bodyguard. "What is your name?""Vincent Cooper.""Identity card."Violet took out her wallet and handed an identity card to the bodyguard. She was already used to making fake identity cards.The bodyguard wrote down Violet's fake name on the registration book. Then, he said to her, "Go on in. Good luck."Violet smiled at him, then went into the villa."If you can defeat all of these people, you're hired," another bodyguard said. He was the examiner.Violet nodded and looked toward the crowd of people fighting each other on the other side of the room. They were all men. Some of them were already unconscious on the ground.So, it was an all-out brawl, wasn't it?Violet smiled. Keeping her head high, she walked toward the throng confidently.
Violet sized Carl up. He was undoubtedly handsome, but he was also cruel and cold. He was expressionless, striking fear into the hearts of everyone who met him.Violet definitely wouldn't want to live with a man as unbearable as Carl.Carl just gave Violet a glance. Unexpectedly, the "man" in front of him stared back.Normally, nobody could look into his eyes for more than ten seconds. Those who could rarely remained so calm.Thus, this young man interested him. Like all other men, he was competitive. He stared back, attempting to scare him off.Violet wasn't falling for it. She was prepared for Carl's coldness, so she wasn't about to fall at his feet even though she was awed.Reed could feel the tense atmosphere and nudged Violet lightly.Violet just stared at Carl, waiting for him to speak.For the first time ever, Carl's cold demeanor failed to work. He was both curious and furious about the "man" standing before him. If he could defeat all his rivals without wrinkling his s
Violet glanced at the bodyguards standing beside her out of the corner of her eye. They remained still the whole time.Slowly, she stepped out of line and headed toward the door. As soon as she pushed it open, four bodyguards stopped her. Instinctively, she dodged out of their grasp.Before she could feel smug about it, she suddenly felt a shiver down her spine.Looking back, she saw Carl walking toward the door with Whitney.When Whitney saw Violet, she opened her mouth to call out, but then she closed it again. She winked and smiled mischievously at Violet."What are you trying to do?" Reed demanded."I need to go to the bathroom," Violet answered."You're not allowed to enter the villa unless there's an emergency," Reed said sternly. "Settle your personal needs in your own room."Violet did not answer him. She stood there meekly while she wracked her brain for a way to get to Whitney."Do you understand me?" Reed yelled.Seeing that her attempt to stall for time failed, Vi
"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.

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.

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
