"What are you going to do to them?" Everly glared at Carson as she struggled to try and get away from him."That depends on whether you are willing to tell the truth, Violet," Robbie answered.Carson tossed her to the side and roared coldly, "What is your purpose for coming to Cannesville?"Everly covered her throat as tears gathered in her eyes from the gaping and coughing. She sat on the bottom of the car and gazed up at his cold expression. For a moment, she was overwhelmed by the irony of everything.He knew. He knew about everything she had been doing. He had been looking down upon her like a giant outside a toy castle looking down on a foolish clown."Answer me!" he barked as rage filled his cold eyes.Everly sneered sarcastically. "Why bother asking me if you already know what I did?"Carson narrowed his eyes and stared at her. "Don’t you think that I won’t be able to kill you!""Yeah, of course you can!" Everly gritted out word by word, "You would kill anyone, and yet,

"If you touch it, don’t even think about leaving Cannesville alive!" Carson’s hellish voice echoed through.All Everly did was laugh. Her crazed laughter had her entire body shaking as she looked at him with tears in her eyes. She smiled and said, "All for a dead person’s photo?"'How hypocritical! I followed him around for six years, and he sent me to prison for four years. Yet now he is threatening me over a photo of me, someone who wanted to kill her in the past? How hypocritical can he be to try still to fake it in front of me? If only he cared for me, even for a split second, he wouldn’t have shown any mercy against me, nor would he treat our child that way! Who is he trying to fool by acting like this? Hilarious! Absolutely hilarious!' she thought.She was falling about the place laughing. "And what if I do? Are you going to kill me? Haha…""Violet!" He roared and reached over to grab her.However, Everly moved quicker and tore the photo apart. She tore once and twice before

Everly held on to the tombstone so tight her knuckles turned white.Tears fell from her eyes as she looked at Bonnie's photo through her blurry vision. She could not control her emotions.Previously, it was Bonnie and Granny Preston. At that moment, it was Annie and others. What would happen in the future?Who else? Would it be…Oliver? Was she going to continue? Perhaps, she should go to a place where nobody could find her alone and stay a recluse for the rest of her life? "Bonnie, Granny Preston, what should I do?"The weather was freezing. It suddenly started to snow again. Snowflakes landed on Everly. Not far away in the dark, Carson slowly walked over.She was not wearing her mask because it was broken. Carson had a good look at her face the moment he got down from his car.It was her! It was truly her! Slap!Carson slapped himself brutally. It was until he felt the pain only then he acknowledged that he was not dreaming."Mister Baxter!" Robbie, by the side, jumped

"Whether it hurts or not, you are the one who had done it, Mister Baxter," Everly said coldly. She turned around, not looking at him. "Treating me nicely after slapping me. This tactic does not work on me, Mister Baxter."Carson furrowed his brows. The distance Everly placed between them saddened him, but he was feeling more remorseful inside.This was all his fault. All her sadness and misfortune were caused by him."I'm sorry," Carson said.Everly laughed. He was sorry? How rare it was to hear those words coming out from Carson's proud mouth.She finally got the apology she wanted all these years, but not because of this incident. How ironic! Everly turned around, lifted her head, and looked at him. She was so enamored with those eyes when she was in her teens. She repressed the overwhelming emotions in her heart. She smiled and said, "Saying sorry does not have much use. Mister Baxter, why don't we make a deal.""What do you want?" He would give her whatever she wanted."Le

"Okay." John shook his head. He let out a long sigh and said nothing else, focusing on driving.Everly looked out of the window at the heavy snow in silence until she reached Orchid Garden.Annie and the others came back in one piece."Everly!" Annie called out anxiously.Everly forced a smile, and then John pulled Annie to the side.Everly let out a sigh of relief and returned to her room alone. She shut the door and leaned on it, slid down the door, and slumped onto the floor.She had not switched on the lights, nor did she open the curtains. The room was in darkness. She hugged herself into a ball in the corner. The memories of the past kept appearing in her mind.Tears kept falling. She bit her fists. She hated herself for still reminiscing about the past.…Outside, Annie and John were in the living area. John recounted the previous incident to Annie.Annie was stunned."How could this have happened?" Annie said, "Does that mean that Carson already knew of our plans pre
