"I … I'll leave right after I've made the hangover tea, okay?" Annabel said.Stepping forward, Maverick flung the mug away. Then, he shouted at Annabel, "That woman on my bed can do everything, so you're not needed here!"Annabel, if you don't listen to me, I'll send you out of the country. You won't ever be able to come back again!"Annabel was startled. Her pretty little face turned pale, and her huge eyes were filled with tears that refused to fall."I'll leave," Annabel hastily said, "Mavey, remember to drink the tea." The smile remained on her face."Maverick." Violet couldn't stand by and watch any longer. "How can you treat your sister like this?""It's none of your business." Maverick was rude to Violet as well. "What's the matter? Carlie can't please you anymore, so you're here for me now?"Without another thought, Violet smashed the cake in her hands onto Maverick's face.Maverick's handsome face was instantly covered in cake. Even his features weren't recognizable.
Timothy sat on the couch. When he saw that Carl and Nathaniel had arrived, he got up. He ordered, "Isabelle, serve the tea."Violet watched in secret. Isabelle's every movement was elegant and noble.Violet was once again convinced that Isabelle was truly a flawless woman."Prodigies of Zeloth, it has been about three years since we last met, hasn't it?" Smiling, Timothy asked.Nathaniel was polite. "You've been busy, Mr. Knight. It's an honor getting to meet you even once every three years."Carl smiled. He didn't say anything, but he did glance at Nathaniel in disdain.Nathaniel was the only descendant of the Simmons. Even though he wasn't a Simmon, he would eventually inherit the Simmons' property in the future.The Simmons were powerful, and they were on par with the Walkers. Their hidden riches weren't too far behind the Walkers, either.But the two families had been enemies since the last generation. Now, the newer generation continued treating each other like enemies.V
Nathaniel and Violet waited outside the ward. Noticing the time, Nathaniel said, "Why don't I send you home first?"Violet glanced at Carl. He had his back to her throughout the process."Okay," Violet replied. She left the hospital with Nathaniel.Nathaniel drove at a good speed. He didn't go fast, unlike Carl who would always go beyond the speed limit.Violet used to tease Carl for being a murderer on the road, for he never obeyed traffic rules.Violet lowered her head, thinking. "Now that Carl and Violet are in the ward together, they must be rekindling their feelings for each other. They will probably get together again soon."Then, Carl would have nothing to do with Violet the fake fiancée anymore.It was just a game, and they played the game by acting. But Violet accidentally invested too much into the act.Noticing the upset look in Violet's eyes, Nathaniel felt his heart ache terribly. He pulled up at the side of the road.Violet wanted to ask Nathaniel what was going
Violet sent Whitney back to the children's room to sleep. Looking at Violet, Lucy said, "Go shopping with me at the mall tomorrow." It was an order.Violet thought, "Lucy is completely identical to Carl when she orders people around!""But I have to go to work tomorrow." Violet didn't think she could get the day off.Lucy behaved as if she were announcing something she was proud of. "I've already told Uncle Carl about it. Just come with me tomorrow."Violet was speechless.Whitney asked, "Can I come along?""Of course, you have to!" Lucy replied matter-of-factly. "I'm going shopping to get you stuff in the first place. You'll be part of the Walkers soon. You should stop wearing those rags.""Those aren't rags." Violet was indignant. "They cost a few hundred dollars per outfit!"Violet even thought, "Children's clothes are so expensive these days! Those evil merchants are taking advantage of the children!"Wait, I think I overlooked the main point! What right do they have to de
"Ms. Walker, Ms. Cooper." Isabelle greeted them.Isabelle wore a socialite-style outfit, like always. She was also always seen with high heels. She attracted attention everywhere she went.It was the truth. Isabelle was so charming and attractive that everyone would fall for her.But when she was courting Carl back then, she had invested a lot of effort and time. In the end, they still broke up.Lucy's attitude was foul. She asked, "Violet, do you know her?"Violet guessed that Lucy must have been on terrible terms with Isabelle in the past.But Violet didn't like Isabelle that much, either.She still hadn't figured out the truth behind the gunshot yesterday. But Violet had a feeling that Isabelle wasn't as innocent as she seemed."She's Timothy's secretary. We've met before," Violet said in a low voice. She considered it a greeting toward Isabelle.Isabelle didn't expect Violet to treat her so coldly.Logically speaking, rivals would get worked up when they saw each other. T
Seth's bodyguards rushed forward to tackle Violet. Seth took the opportunity to break free. It was then that he realized that he couldn't quite move his wrist."This woman is so strong! I can't believe she's not some weak woman!" Seth thought.Whitney said anxiously, "Mommy, watch out!"Violet smiled. These people were too weak. They were no match for her.Mick hastily pulled Whitney aside so that they wouldn't get in the way. He believed in Violet's skills, but if they got too close to the fight, they might get injured.Feeling spirited, Lucy shouted, "Are the Walkers' bodyguards good for nothing? Does Mrs. Walker have to deal with the jerks on her own?"Quit standing around; just do it! If you accidentally beat someone to death, I'll take responsibility!"When Lucy shouted that, the bodyguards dashed forward. They had been conscious of Seth's identity before this."And you, come back here!" Lucy grabbed Violet's hand. "If you lose even a hair on your head, Uncle Carl will sco
Marina wasn't as innocent as she looked. When she entered the villa, it was true that she wanted to get close to Carl. But more importantly, she wanted to steal Carl's family crest.There were three great families in Orlanda, and each family had a hidden family crest.There was a legend about the crests. If someone collected the three family crests, the crests would merge into a key.The key could be used to access a world made of pure gold. That person would also become the ruler of that world.In the past, the three families worked together for the sake of this legend.But they all failed.In the end, the three families had tense relationships with each other. They seemed like friends on the surface, but they were enemies in the shadows.Even Carl's marriage with Helen was proposed for the sake of relieving that tension.Marina searched the villa for a long time, but she only had a clue that Carl had hidden the family crest in the dungeon. She had no idea about its exact loca
"You … Don't … No!" Violet was shocked. Instead of covering herself, she used both her arms and legs to push Carl away.If she didn't run now, she feared that she would not be able to escape tonight.Grabbing Violet's hands, Carl lifted her.When Carl thought that Violet's husband had even made a daughter with her, a terrifying air took over Carl.This time, he was more determined than ever.Violet bit her lip. She tried her best not to make any weird sounds while Carl attended to her.She could only explain weakly, "It's real! No one has ever touched me before!""This accursed man!" she thought, "Whitney is his daughter! Is he so blind that he can't even see that? Whitney is a chip off the old block!"Also ever since the beginning, he's the only man who has ever touched me! Why am I always the one getting punished in the end?"Violet took in a sharp breath. She was about to say something, but it turned into a suggestive sound instead. "Mm—"Feeling like he had received his r
