Lisa hushed her father with a gesture before looking outside.They were in the White Mansion, yet the three lived in the tiny and dark underground basement.Outside, Carson's men constantly kept watch on them.The Whites might seem glamourous to the public, but only they knew what sort of life they were living for the past year."We cannot let them hear us," Lisa said before huddling together with her parents."Now that Layla is finished, we can only blame it all on her. From the most recent news I got, Carson seemed to have treated Violet as Everly," Lisa said while looking at the news on her phone."What! Then…" Lisa's mother got agitated. Thus, she immediately covered her mouth and paced around the small house. She said anxiously, "What's going to happen to us if he really got together with Violet?""Mom, don't worry. Everly is already dead. Everyone knows about this. She can't just be revived. As for Violet, I'll think of a solution." Lisa comforted them."Violet…" Lisa slo
Fifteen minutes before, Carson and Everly sat at opposite ends of the desk face to face in the private room of the event hall. She handed the contract to him. "Have a look, Mr. Baxter. Are there any objections?" she asked.Carson had not said anything. He read the contract and signed his name.Everly raised her eyebrows slightly as she watched Carson. She signed her name on another contract. With that, both sides exchanged signatures.Robbie was witnessing both of them. He smiled as they finished signing. "Violet, as you can see, Mr. Baxter had already signed the contract. Why are you still wearing a mask?""Mr. Robbie, there is a reason Violet wears a mask." Annie said immediately, "Mr. Baxter had not even questioned it. Why are you being nosy? You…" Before she could finish speaking, Everly raised her hands and interrupted her.She looked at Carson, who was sitting opposite her, and smiled. "Mr. Robbie is right, but I do have some difficulties. However..."She stretched her hand
A Meybach cruised through the avenue of the city. The surroundings whooshed past as the vehicle accelerated forward. Everly pursed her lips as she drove, seemingly attentive and absent-minded simultaneously.Her mind kept replaying the episode with Carson previously.His dark eyes, his every word…Everly's eyes reddened slightly.It was Carson who gave her a hellish life. He had not punished the White Family after learning the truth about Oliver. Heck, he even still maintained a close relationship with Lisa!Carson had done countless unforgivable things to her and Oliver. How could she still be deceived by him, by his mere words!The car continued accelerating. The bumpy feeling of the ride seemed to give Everly a strange sense of security. She had not stopped driving, constantly moving towards her destination.As the traffic on the streets decreased, her vision became clearer and wider. All of a sudden, Everly slammed on the brakes.Staring at the completely unfamiliar wildern
Robbie was relieved when he heard the news of Carson's return. He had been looking for him for the entire day. Robbie immediately arrived at Baxter Group and waited for Carson on the top floor of the company building. Ding!The executive elevator for the president door opened, and out came Carson Baxter. "Mr. Baxter!" greeted Robbie.As Carson approached him, Robbie sensed a smell of smoke emanating from him. He took a closer look at him and mentally sighed.Robbie knew how much Carson had missed Everly, but he was going just to get himself into more disappointments. Miss Pettis was already long gone and Violet was not Everly. It was impossible.'Mr. Baxter, this is all self-inflicting-torture,' Robbie thought.Carson went to the lounge to change his clothes. The smell of tobacco on his body disappeared as he came out again. Other than his slightly gloomy appearance, Carson seemed no different from any other day.Robbie breathed a sigh of relief. "Mr. Baxter, you've disappear
Robbie froze at Carson's request. 'What is the meaning of this?' he thought to himself.Blue was Miss Pettis's favorite color!Over the past year, women had tried to imitate Everly's preferences in order to get close to Carson. Naturally, there were many who dressed in blue, but they were all turned down angrily by Carson every single time. Many people even knew not to wear a blue outfit in front of him casually. It was considered taboo. However, this time…Carson clearly knew that Violet was not Everly. Moreover, Violet's favorite color was, not surprisingly, violet, as her name went. Yet, he still asked for a blue dress for her?What is going on?…The news of Violet's Studio moving into Baxter Group with 5% of the company shares spread like wildfire throughout the premises. Everyone was talking about it.Also, there was the news from the several supervisors who were previously given a personal explanation from Mr. Baxter that the 5% shares which were given to Violet were sole
Richard's car stopped at the outside of the Four Seasons Hotel. Suddenly, the sound of high-heels approached him, and the door on the side of his car was suddenly pulled open. A woman came in directly and sat on the passenger seat."Richie! What's going on with that Violet from Carson's company!" The woman asked, covering her face, "Why do I keep hearing Carson was interested in her!""Alice Davidson!" said Richard angrily, as he glared at his little sister, who was wearing a black Diore dress. "I'm your elder brother. Stop calling me Richie! Have some respect, for goodness sake. How annoying!" "Alright, Big Brother, geez," Alice said. "Just tell me, it's not like you don't know. I have liked Carson for so long. Before this, dad had asked me to go to Belgravia, and I didn't have the time to attend Oliver's birthday party. You've promised to help me persuade Carson!" she urged.Alice would probably not have the time to return to Cannesville, if it wasn't for the fact that she had s
Almost instantly, all eyes were on Violet. Chattering and gossip were heard among the crowd of people."Who is she? Why is she dressed in blue? She's going to be in a lot of trouble when Mr. Baxter sees her!""I have no idea. It looks like she's one of those girls who wants to get close to Mr. Baxter!""She's Violet. Since Mr. Baxter was willing to pay such a high price for her, she probably thought she could get away with anything! Just wait. She's going to make a fool out of herself!"…Alice looked at Richard, who was beside her. Her eyes were full of contempt. "Richie, is that Violet?" she asked.Richard frowned, his disgust for Violet seemingly deepened in his heart. "That's her," he said with a sneer.Alice raised an eyebrow slightly. She gave Violet a long look as she was walking in, "It seems that Violet is just as you've described, a self-righteous woman!" she said with a smile.Richard had not answered her. From his perspective, it seemed that Violet had planned this
Robbie parted his lips slightly. He decided that perhaps it was better to stop making any more signals to Richard to prevent further misunderstandings."Carson, perhaps your actions in the exhibition hall previously had gotten Violet to be too ahead of herself. Just forgive her this once. After all, she will be cooperating with you from now on," said Alice with a smileCarson withdrew his gaze from Richard and continued looking at Everly from where he stood. She was seen greeting the people around her politely. However, many people were avoiding her, probably because of the blue dress she was wearing.Carson frowned slightly as he watched. He turned and walked downstairs."Richie, look, it's showtime," Alice said to Richard in a whisper.Richard nodded back to his sister in response as he looked at Everly mockingly.Robbie shook his head helplessly. He walked away and followed Carson from behind.Carson immediately got everyone's attention the moment he stepped into the corrid
