"Don't ask about matters that are none of your business," Carl said in annoyance. "You're supposed to be an assassin, yet you lack the bloodlust of one." "That's because I can't be a bloodthirsty killer around my daughter." Violet didn't care about Carl's criticism as she cuddled with Whitney. Since Whitney came into the picture, Violet had participated in significantly fewer missions. She only went on missions if the targets were especially tricky. Therefore, she rose in notoriety since she only killed challenging targets. She also gained more enemies as a result. Now that more people were starting to realize that she was an assassin, things didn't look good for her. Carl gave her a cold stare and ignored her. "Uncle Carl, you have to let Great Aunt Elsa out. Or else, with that temper of hers …" Lucy couldn't help but say.Carl interrupted her coldly, "What can she possibly do?""You're holding your mother captive!" Violet chipped in."Daddy, have you thought about the co
Maverick chuckled awkwardly and said, "Ah, the thing about the White family."Lucy's eyes were fixed on Maverick. She was angry that he didn't even spare her a glance since he walked through the door. "Spill it! I'm also curious about how you handled it," Elsa said in a commanding tone. "And spare no detail. If you try to hide anything from us …" Carl didn't bother to finish his sentence. Maverick was in despair. The three Walkers were harsh masters. If he offended Lucy, she'd hound him forever. If he offended Elsa, his social life would be utterly destroyed. And if he offended Carl, he would be better off dead. The three of them had overwhelming presences. Maverick knew that Violet was the only one who could get him out of the tricky situation. He knew Violet had the most authority here because she could bend Carl to her will. Maverick regained his cool when he thought of that. After all, his actions toward the White family were retribution for Violet."I didn't kill a
If Carl couldn't marry Violet yet. That meant that Whitney still couldn't be recognized as his legitimate heir. Carl had no choice but to put his plans on halt. He brought them back to Zeloth to deal with the issue at hand. Lucy was pestering Carl as she said, "Uncle Carl, why aren't you bringing me back with you? I want to go with you!"She had just heard that Carl intended to leave her here with Elsa. Lucy couldn't possibly accept that. She had planned to pursue Maverick in Avrington. She had just talked it out with him. They agreed not to tell Carl about their situation. The condition for that was that he must not hide from her anymore. Maverick had been a playboy all his life. He didn't think a woman would ever get the better of him."Why would you need to go? Stay here and accompany your great aunt," Carl said coldly. "I don't need her here," Elsa said. Elsa wanted Lucy to follow along so that she could ruin the relationship between Carl and Violet. "Do you hate me
Carl frowned hard. Not only did he have to worry about Lucy, but he also had to worry about Violet. The person who stole Violet's papers had a clear goal. That was to stop her from getting married.Who would it be? Carl had a suspect in his mind—Nathaniel Skye. "You're ignoring me again!" Violet said as she pinched Carl. "I asked you, why did you say Maverick wasn't the right man for Lucy?""You don't have to worry about that. Just remember that they must not be together." Carl didn't want to answer her question. Violet shrugged and muttered, "You're like a domineering old man. You're even interfering in other people's love life now.""What else can I do? Do you think it's a wise choice to let Lucy get between Maverick and Annabel?" Carl asked coldly. "I can't tell if it's a wise choice or not. But if it was me, I would respect Lucy's decision. She chose to walk this path. She will have to endure the hurt or happiness that comes with the choice. And you! You can't be respons
Carl had just finished making the pancakes when Violet woke up. She smelled the fragrance of the food, but she stopped in her tracks. She would've leaped into Carl's arms in joy if she hadn't tasted the disgusting pancakes he'd made before. But because she did eat that before, all she could think of was how to get out of eating it now. No one else was in the house. She knew she was going to be the first to taste the pancakes. She quickly ran back into the bedroom and grabbed her phone and purse. She was ready to sneak out of the house. She was sure she couldn't stomach any of the food Carl made for her. "You're awake!" She came face to face with Carl while trying to sneak out. He frowned when he saw she had her hands behind her back."What's wrong? What are you holding that you must hide from me?" Carl asked. "It's nothing!" Violet quickly replied. The thing she was trying to hide from was his food!She trembled slightly when she saw the pancakes he had placed on the di
It took Carl over an hour to finish. Violet was starving by the time he was done. The pancakes became something she actually yearned for. "Bring me the food! I need to eat. I'm famished!" Violet shoved Carl and said. "Mind your tone." Carl was dissatisfied. No one had ever spoken to him in such a demanding tone. "Carl! Heartless bastard! Honey! Bring me the food, please. I am really hungry," Violet said in a sweet voice. Carl leaned in and nibbled on her ear. He then whispered, "Don't seduce me like that. I might lose control."Violet's face paled. They had already done it multiple times today. If he lost control again, she might have the urge to put him down for a few months to get some rest.Carl smiled impishly. He left the room to get her the pancakes after seeing the worried look on her face.But the pancakes that were placed on the table were gone. In its place was a message. "Do not succumb to lust".Carl clenched his fists. The pancakes he had gone through great pai
Annabel sighed in frustration. She tried several other methods to regain control of Carl's computer but to no avail. She wasn't good enough to undo the Demon King's damage. She wondered how the Demon King came back to life. She had a bad feeling. Her gut told her that something big was about to happen. She left the study to knock on Violet's door. "Are you asleep, Violet?" she asked. "No, I've been waiting for you!" Violet said as she quickly came out.Carl came out with her and asked coldly, "Where are you two going at this hour?""We're going out for supper," Violet replied. "You have a lot of things to talk about with Maverick, right? We'll leave the two of you alone. Feel free to talk to your heart's content.""You're not allowed to go out tonight," Carl said in a commanding tone."Why?"Annabel quickly said. "Violet, it is indeed too late. We'll catch up tomorrow."Violet said with a frown, "I have to go to work tomorrow."She looked at Carl and wondered why he wanted
"Are you able to keep her from avoiding me and ignoring my calls for a lifetime?" asked Nathaniel. "I doubt you have the power!""She isn't going to meet you," replied Carl, but he didn't sound very confident.Violet had previously made herself very clear to him—she wouldn't stop seeing Nathaniel simply because of their relationship."She will," insisted Nathaniel. "By the way, please tell her that I'm her Big Brother xxx, and I've returned. She's sure to remember."With that, Nathaniel hung up the phone.Carl's heart suddenly turned cold.xxx?Wasn't that the guy Violet was secretly crushing on at the orphanage?Hearing the monotonous beep on the phone, Carl sat down. The turmoil in his heart was making it impossible for him to calm down.A question surfaced in his heart. If Violet had to choose, would she rather go for her childhood sweetheart or him?Carl wasn't sure. After all, Violet had always harbored feelings for her Big Brother xxx.But ... To think that the man she
