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."
It was already late at night. Almost everyone in the manor was fast asleep.Carl's quick footsteps echoed in the hallway. He headed toward the master bedroom right away and opened the door."Vi, did you get hu—"Violet wasn't inside the master bedroom.Carl had a feeling that she had returned to her own bedroom. Either that, or she must have left.He headed back to Violet's bedroom right away. On the way there, he suddenly noticed the bloodstains outside the study. The blotches had already dried up by then, but the color was still as vibrant as ever.Damn it! Violet definitely got hurt!Anxiety gripped Carl's heart immediately as he hurried over to Violet's bedroom. The door was already locked from the inside."Vi," he uttered softly. "Please open the door."There was no reply."Vi!" Carl spoke in a louder voice. "Open up!"Silence ensued.Carl finally went into a full-blown state of panic. If Violet wasn't inside that room, where could she have gone?"Open the door!" he
"Be nice to her, Samuel." Christine defended Helen instantly. "We have to focus on the main problem now. If our families do clash against each other, the bond between us will be ruined, much less our men and weaponry."It's a lose-lose situation for both families. The Simmons family will definitely mock us from the sidelines if this fight does break out.""Precisely!" Elsa's tone became more tender. "Just stay out of this matter, alright? All of you should turn in for the night. I'll deal with Carl later."She did some mental calculations after that. If Carl were to depart from Zeloth, he'd need to travel for eight hours. No matter how fast he drove, he'd still need at least six hours to reach the city the Whites lived in.That was unless Carl decided to fly here right away.The thing was, Elsa did receive word that Carl was flying toward the White residence right now.This angered her greatly. Just what sort of spell did Violet cast on Carl? Also, why weren't Lucy's methods wo
Mick entered the house while Violet was still fast asleep."Why is it so noisy outside?" Whitney asked quietly."Lucy and Maverick insisted on seeing Ms. Violet tonight. They said they had urgent matters to discuss with her," Mick answered lightly."What kind of urgent matters? Is it really that important? Why must they find Mommy?" Whitney asked.Mick nodded and said, "It does seem quite serious."Whitney glanced at Violet and then back at Mick. She said, "Then, let them come in."Mick had just gone out of the room when he saw Lucy staring seriously at Maverick's face.Seeing that someone else was here, Lucy hurriedly averted her gaze. She then said jovially, "Mick, I love you so much! Do you know how much I want to ruin Maverick's stupid face right now?Mick thought, "Really? It seemed more like you wanted to kiss him from my observation just now."Lucy turned shy and looked away. She changed the topic and asked, "So, how did it go? Is Violet awake yet?""Not yet," Mick ans
Violey lay in bed with Whitney in her arms. Whitney gently caressed Violet's pale face with her small hands."Mommy, didn't you promise to take good care of yourself? Why were you so careless?" Whitney asked, feeling a dull ache in her heart.Violet smiled faintly and said, "Sorry, I was careless and fell into a trap.""You can't be careless again next time!" Whitney exclaimed in a no-nonsense tone. "If something happens to Mommy, what's going to happen to me? And Daddy?"Violet stopped smiling at once. The biggest thing she couldn't control was Whitney's feelings for Carl. It was obvious that the father and daughter shared a special bond, and this wasn't something she could forcefully remove.Whitney rolled her eyes seeing her mother getting triggered by the mere mention of her father. She needed Violet to give Carl a second chance. So, she was going to be honest with Violet.Whitney said in a soft tone, "Mommy, there's something I want to tell you!""What is it?" Violet asked,
Carl had occupied a villa not far from the Whites' base. All of his henchmen were prepared, and they could go into battle at any moment.Carl sat in the living room. He was aware the Whites weren't weak, so he needed to formulate a thorough plan for initiating the attack and securing his victory.Images of Violet in the blood-spattered bathroom flashed across his mind. Her face was pale, and there were multiple wounds on her body. He also recalled Maverick's solemn tone when he mentioned the destruction of the city center.Thinking about these, Carl's bloodthirsty thoughts had never once left.He wanted to eliminate all potential threats so no one would hunt Violet down. Otherwise, they would come after her forever!Upon hearing that Carl had arrived at the villa, Elsa hurriedly went to see him."Master said he doesn't want to see you, Madam Elsa," Reed said as he blocked Elsa's way."He doesn't want to see me?" Elsa slapped Reed directly and exclaimed, "Do you know who I am? I'
When Violet arrived, she smelled the scent of gunpowder in the air. She was nervous because she was about to see Carl, so she took a deep breath.Reed was the first to welcome them and asked, "How are you feeling? Did it hurt a lot? Are your injuries serious?"Violet gave a faint smile and shook her head. As an assassin, she had long gotten used to injuries!She said, "I'm fine. You should try out Maverick's car when you go back home!""Please stop chatting!" Maverick had never wasted time when dealing with serious matters. "Is Carlie still inside? Has the battle started yet?"Mr. Walker is in the master bedroom," Reed said and checked his watch, "The battle will start in five minutes.""Violet darling, hurry up and talk to Carlie!" Maverick instructed. "Also, Reed, where is the person sent by the Whites? I want to see him!"Reed immediately led Maverick to the negotiator, who had been reluctant to leave without seeing Carl."Go ahead, Mommy. We will wait for you outside," Whit
