Annabel was a computer expert whose skills were unparalleled. She truly was a genius among hackers.Violet glanced at Annabel desperately. "My daughter and her friend have been kidnapped. I need to find them.""Are they the two kids we met last time for dinner?" Annabel asked.Violet nodded.Annabel's expression grew serious. "Give me your computer. Let me try."Violet's computer knowledge had mostly been self-taught. She was not particularly fond of dabbling in technology, especially not something so advanced.As a result, she had only managed to scratch the surface of it.It wasn't until she was forced to make use of her skills today that she realized they were hardly enough.Still, with Annabel's help, their search became much faster.Just then, Maverick made a call to Carl in Ausstan."Found anything?" Carl began with a question."I wish it were that easy!" Maverick sighed. "Tell you what, Whitney and Mick have been kidnapped. No amount of investigation on our side is yi
Violet froze. She was now facing the humiliation she endured six years ago. But Carl gave her complicated emotions and various anxieties.Back then, she didn't know that he was the leader of the Night Crawlers. She had imagined many possibilities.She would end his life, eat him up, tear him apart, or even wipe him from the face of the earth.Later on, she found out that he was the leader of the Night Crawlers. Now, she could only think of either hating him or hiding from him.After all, humiliation hurt, but the pain could never compare to the pain of losing Whitney.But now that Violet was facing Carl, she realized that there was nothing she could do.Her vision blacked out. Her tired and overworked body couldn't hold out any longer.…Carl stayed by Violet's side. Now that she had discovered his greatest secret, he should end her life without mercy.But he let her lay on the bed, and he even called Dr. Howell over to check on her.This was quite a puzzling decision."She'
After the meal, Whitney went to Violet's room to hang out and play.It had become true that Carl was the leader of the Night Crawlers. So, Whitney decided not to be sad or complain about it anymore.She was waiting for a chance to reveal their relationship with Carl. Then, Carl would give up on the terrorist organization for their sake. Then, Carl would be fine.So, the key was in Violet's attitude toward Carl.Taking her daughter's hand, Violet spoke. "Baby, I'll do my best to find all the antidotes for you. Then, we'll leave this place."We have to go to a place where he'll never find us, even if it means going to the ends of the earth!""Mommy," Whitney said, her heart breaking. "I asked Daddy about it. He said that the poison won't harm my body as long as I take the antidote regularly.""Even medicine can be dangerous, let alone real poison." Violet raised her voice. Then, she softened down and said, "Don't try to put us together again.""You said that you like him, right?"
After ending the call, Violet was bewildered.It was true; she didn't think that Nathaniel was someone so cruel. But she had to believe what Maverick said."Violet! Mr. Walker delivered a movie ticket for you. Hurry and get dressed, then go to the movies with him!" Sofia said happily."The movies?" Violet thought.She had a feeling that Carl had an ulterior motive."Mr. Walker is taking the initiative to be nice to you. Be good and listen to me. Talk it out with him, and leave the babies at home. They can play in our amusement park."Sofia had everything planned out.Violet took the ticket. It was a ticket for the newly released movie called "Forever Love".The first word that came to her mind was "cliche"."Go ahead, Mommy. I'll take care of myself." Whitney persuaded her as well. She felt like Carl, who had zero emotional intelligence, was finally learning.Rolling her eyes, Violet said, "I was bored, so I've already watched this movie online." With that, she got up and wen
Near nightfall, Violet received a phone call. She was informed that Dr. Howell was spotted in the Royal Vacation Hotel.Without another word, Violet set out to talk to him. "Violet." When she arrived at the door, Marina called out to her. "The movie yesterday was great, thanks." There was a seductive smile on her face."You're welcome," Violet said coldly. She hastily left the villa.In the car, Violet couldn't help but recall Marina's satisfied smile just now.She thought, "By the looks of it, Marina and Carl got along very well yesterday! They must have gotten intertwined a couple of times."What a jerk! He would sleep with anyone who comes to him!"Once she arrived at the entrance of the Royal Vacation Hotel, Violet had a dark look on her face.Six years ago, this was the place where she had slept with Carl.Was she filled with hatred?In reality, she no longer had hatred in her heart.Whitney was a blessing to her. If Carl never existed, Whitney would not have existed e
When Violet returned to the villa, Whitney was stuffing her nose with tissues. There were traces of blood on the tissues."Whitney?" Violet sensed that something was off.Whitney had had nosebleeds before, but they were never this frequent. In the past few days, she had been bleeding from her nose every day."This won't do. I'll take you to the hospital right now. You need a proper checkup." With that, Violet took Whitney's hand and started walking."Mommy." Whitney stood where she was, refusing to move. "I was playing with Mick just now, and he accidentally hit my nose. That's why it's bleeding.""Is that so?" Violet still felt a little uneasy. "I should still bring you to a checkup tomorrow.""We promised to go to the amusement park tomorrow!" Whitney whined, "If you dare break your promise, Mommy, I'll be super upset!"Violet had a bitter smile on her face. She could feel that Whitney's liking for Carl was getting even stronger. It was a daughter's love for her father.Viole
Before Dr. Howell could reach out, Carl slapped his hand away in disdain."Get away from me. Other than Violet, no one else is allowed to touch it!" Carl was mad, but he suppressed his voice on purpose."Mr. Walker?" Dr. Howell had an expression of disbelief on his face. "Violet isn't a doctor. Have you decided to be infertile for the rest of your life?""I'll shave your head if you keep talking." Carl's voice was cold, and his expression was foul. "If I'm so weak that I can become infertile with just a kick, you can be the leader instead."Carl thought, "If I hadn't reacted quickly and shielded myself with my hands, I would've been done for. Damn that Violet. How much does she hate me?"Dr. Howell smiled, saying, "So, you were just pretending!"Carl grabbed a pair of scissors. Dr. Howell hastily shut up, subconsciously touching his hair.Carl's gaze was cold. Maverick, who was in Ausstan right now, had taught him the "pretend you're unable to get it up" trick.Maverick said th
Since it was a Monday, there weren't a lot of people at the amusement park.They had company, so Violet called Annabel along as well."Annabel?" Lucy looked at her from head to toe. "You're still alive? I thought you would've ended your own life. You got rejected 1001 times by that jerk, Maverick, after all."Annabel didn't mind it that much. She said, "That's not the right number. It's the 1586th time now. Also, don't call Maverick a jerk!"Violet looked at Annabel and Lucy. They were both brats. Now that they were together, they would be causing quite the scene.But that wasn't a bad thing. Lucy would stop targeting Violet then.Pointing at the Giant Swing, Whitney said, "Wow! I want to see Daddy and Mommy ride this!"Violet's expression darkened. She had the urge to get a DNA test with her daughter. She wondered if she had taken the wrong baby home from the hospital."Your mommy is scared." Carl seemed to be gloating.Violet challenged him, "And you're not?"Carl raised an
"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
