"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
At night, Carl came back from working overtime. Violet was holding Whitney as she hid in the bedroom.Today, everyone gave her a knowing smile when they saw her. She felt weirded out by that.As for Lucy, she simply couldn't stop laughing. She wished she could record the action last night and then play it in front of Violet."Boohoo …" Violet sobbed in her heart. "I won't do this ever again … It's so embarrassing!""Whitney, why haven't you gone back to your room?" Carl asked."Mommy said that I should sleep here tonight." Whitney didn't mind revealing that Violet was the one behind this.Violet hastily used Whitney to block Carl's line of sight.She felt guilty.She didn't even dare look at him."Go and sleep in the children's room," Carl said in a soft voice. "You're all grown up now. You can't sleep with Daddy and Mommy anymore, okay?""Why not?" Violet was panicking. "She's my daughter. She's allowed to do it if I say so!""She's also my daughter now." Carl was indiffere
"Take them," Carl ordered.Dr. Howell had said that Violet couldn't get pregnant in her current condition. If not, both she and the child would be in danger.Violet couldn't understand why Carl would suddenly give her birth control pills.Carl couldn't be bothered to explain. He said, "I told you to take them, so just take them. Why shouldn't we enjoy our time together before having children?"Just take them once. I'll use condoms in the future."He knew that birth control pills weren't good for women. He had never used condoms before, but today, he broke his record and bought a box of them.Carl suddenly blushed. Violet had no idea that he was being considerate of her.Watching him enter the bathroom, she was stunned for a long while.After a passionate session, the only thing he gave her was a box of birth control pills."Is he trying to … take responsibility?" she wondered. "But it didn't look like it! Or have I become someone for him to play with?"Fuming, Violet got some
Carl's grip on Violet didn't loosen. Instead, he held her tighter. If she truly ran away, he would be disgraced."They're a perfect match!""Only a woman as pretty as she deserves a man like him!""So romantic!""How I wish I could have just a fraction of her happiness!"The crowd chattered on. Most of them had positive things to say.Carl smiled, which made him look even better. Many girls screamed in adoration when they saw that."I miss you so much that my hand is sore," Carl spoke, half gently and half teasingly.Violet's face turned red. "You …" She was exasperated.Carl rapped on Violet's head. "You're thinking indecent things, aren't you?"Violet sucked in her breath. She felt like she was more used to Carl's cold attitude."Am I a masochist?" she wondered.Carl smiled, saying, "What I meant was, my hand was sore from holding the roses. Hurry and take them."Violet wished she could toss Carl and his roses into the next dimension. "Can someone please tell me what he'
Carl's ravaging kiss left no part of her mouth unbitten. His hands also touched her body without a care in the world.If no one were watching them, he would've done it with her right then and there.Since Violet was bitten, she decided to bite back as well.But she wasn't prepared to do that. It was too embarrassing to do it in public!She reached out and pinched Carl's waist. The more force Carl used to bite her, the stronger she pinched him. Carl was forced to let her go."You're tough," Carl said in a cold voice. When he saw Violet's swollen lips, his mood surprisingly recovered.Violet touched her itching and hurting lip. Looking at the anger in Carl's eyes, she felt even angrier.About 10 yards away, the other classmates watched the whole process."Violet, your … boyfriend is so wild!" Tia Pearce, who used to be the most beautiful girl in their class, spoke up. She even winked at Carl.Violet took a deep breath. She felt extremely embarrassed about Carl's actions.She ju
"Well … why don't we exchange secrets?" Violet suggested. "I'll tell you who my secret crush is, and you'll tell me yours.""So, you do have a secret crush!" Carl gritted his teeth. "Where is he right now?" He would destroy that man right away!Violet rolled her eyes, thinking that Carl was making a mountain out of a molehill."Should I learn from him and kill Isabelle and Helen too?" she thought.Carl was mad. "So, who was it?""Just tell me, are you exchanging secrets with me or not?" Violet fumed, completely ignoring Carl's fury.After waiting for a moment, Violet shrugged. She muttered, "If you're not exchanging, forget it." She would get back to work."Wait, I'll exchange secrets with you." Carl compromised. "Tell me."Violet smiled happily. She examined Carl with a weird gaze, her amber eyes full of glee.She finally got back at him. This would be her first time winning against him!Carl was losing his patience. "Hurry up!"Violet thought for a moment, then said, "I gr
Carl smiled as he stood in front of the water dispenser. Who would've thought that it would feel so good to treat a woman well?All the employees watched on. They were wide-eyed as Carl added milk powder and hot water into the cup and stirred. This wasn't the first time the employees had seen Carl behave so gently like this but it still didn't feel real to them. There have been rumors that Violet was Carl's lover but Reed himself had confirmed that Violet was none other than Carl's fiancée.Everyone whispered among themselves as Carl left. Who would've thought that Mr. Walker could ever treat a woman so well?Carl took the mug of milk back to the office and incidentally bumped into Isabelle on his way back.Isabelle glanced at the mug in his hands. It was obviously a mug meant for a woman and it was filled with milk, which was not something that Carl liked to drink."Why are you here?" Carl asked mildly before she could say anything.Isabelle stared dumbly at him for a second b
Isabelle couldn't stop crying and Carl simply stood in front of her silently. He didn't say anything nor did he kick her out of his office.Violet snuck a peek into the office when she heard Isabelle crying but from her angle, she could only see Carl's face.His expression was equal parts sadness, guilt, and helplessness. Combined, it was an extremely complicated expression.Violet blinked as she held her mug. The mug was still warm but her heart had frosted over.She knew that this was an inevitable process. Her relationship with Carl could only officially start after he got over his affection for Isabelle.Despite that, she still felt irritated. She reminded herself that she shouldn't fall too deeply but now it seemed as if she couldn't control her own heart.Seeing how deeply in thought Violet looked made Reed bend down to her level as he studied the dark look in her eyes as well as the furrow of her eyebrows.Ray Williams looked at Reed curiously, then at Violet before final
"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
