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
At night, Carl continued his work in his study room. Since Whitney wasn't around and all the TV programs were boring, Violet decided to take a walk outside.Violet walked alongside the apricot trees. It was just her alone in the garden, and it was too quiet.She sighed. How could her own daughter abandon her to have fun? Also, how could she turn off her phone while she was out as well?Did Whitney really not miss her at all?Violet was about to call Whitney again when she heard a woman moaning from a distance. "More … give me more!"Was that … Marina's voice?Violet frowned and tiptoed towards the source of the noise. She hid behind a large tree and saw that Reed and Marina were … making love in the garden!Violet's eyes widened and she rubbed her eyes in disbelief. After taking a closer look she realized that It was indeed Marina and Reed!But the both of them together … Violet couldn't believe what she was seeing.Carl had set a rule that the bodyguards were not allowed
Violet thought about Nathaniel the entire journey back home.She thought about how he found out about her true identity, about how familiar he felt to her, and about how madly in love he was with her.She didn't know why but she felt slightly panicked.She kept superimposing the face of the older boy she met at the orphanage over Nathaniel's in her mind and the more she thought about it, the more similar they looked.She clutched at her chest. If Nathaniel really was the older boy she met at the orphanage, she didn't know what she was going to do.She couldn't ask him if he was the boy. Because she was afraid … The reason why she never tried to look for that older boy was because she was afraid that she would hate him.Just then, the sound of a gunshot broke her free from her thoughts.She came back to her senses immediately and realized that her driver had been shot and the car was now spinning out of control. She looked out and saw that her car was now hurtling toward a
Violet's vision was blurry. All she could hear in the sewer was the sound of water dripping onto the ground.Suddenly, a stray cat meowed loudly. It sounded like a phantom was haunting the place.Violet continued to move forward in the sewer while pointing the flashlight ahead of her. Occasionally, strays were skittering past her. They tended to pause in their tracks just to glare at her warily.Violet focused on picking up the ambient sounds around her. She could hear someone jumping into the sewer, followed by a series of hasty footsteps.Shit! Someone was chasing after her!Violet continued to flee from her pursuers. She was only here to have fun, so she didn't bring any of her usual gear. Also, she couldn't get Novya's men to help her out unless she was backed into a corner with nowhere else to run. It wasn't her style to do so, after all.Soon, Violet heard someone's voice echoing through the sewer."There are blood stains here! She couldn't have gone far! Hurry up and
Violet remained rooted to the spot. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly as she listened to Marina's moans, which had grown louder and more seductive.She couldn't help but wonder if Carl was truly having sex with Marina right now.Violet could only sniffle pathetically. Had she known that she'd be greeted with such a scene right after returning to this place, she wouldn't have returned in the first place.How could Carl be this cruel to her? He didn't even bother listening to her explanation! Heck, he didn't even want her to speak to him!"Why aren't you turning around to watch us?" Carl demanded.An eager smile played on Marina's lips. At the same time, she was worried about the possibility of Carl fucking her right in front of Violet just to piss the latter off. If that were to happen, he'd know that Marina was no longer a virgin.Marina shuddered to think about the consequences.Then again, the more thrilling the situation, the more Marina wanted to challenge the odds."
"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
