Annie came over, put the fruit she had washed on the table, and asked, "Are you okay?"Everly opened her eyes, looked at Annie who was worried, and shook her head, "I'm fine."Looking at the place where Oliver had sat just now, she secretly made up her mind.Since that incident, she had been dejected for too long. Now that she had moved out of the Baxter Group, she would continue with her previous plan.She tried desperately to get Carson out of her mind.At this moment, her mind was a mess, so she asked herself not to think about what he had done for her or what he had sacrificed.She told herself that her only purpose in this country was to get Oliver's custody.Now that Carson had refused her request, she could only resort to legal means."Annie, sort out the evidence we got and contact the lawyer. When everything is ready, we will obtain Oliver's custody through legal means," Everly said.Annie looked at her worriedly, but still nodded, "I got it..."Annie immediately sto
The butler was stunned. He took a peek at Carson's expression. But Carson's eyes were hidden in the shadow of his hair, so the Butler could not see Carson’s expression clearly.When the butler regained his calmness, he said to Oliver with a smile, "Okay, let them solve this matter. It's very late now, and you need to take a bath."Glancing at Carson again, Oliver seemed to realize that Carson didn't intend to give him any explanation, so he obediently followed a servant to take a bath.There were only Carson and the butler in the living room.Noticing that Carson was upset, the butler sighed and comforted him, "Sir, Oliver was just talking nonsense. Don’t take it seriously."Carson lowered his eyes slightly, and then he walked to the sofa. When he stared at an old photo of them together on the wall, his mind began to wander.The silence was suffocating, and the butler immediately mentioned another topic. "By the way, Robbie has reported that Baxter Group is taking a tentative ste
The next day.Everly came to the studio on time as usual."Hello, Violet!""Morning, Violet!"Employees greeted her one after another.She nodded in response to their greetings and then went to her office."Violet, here's your schedule..." Annie came in to inform her arrangement and added, "According to your requirements, I've collected some information. Yet I'll take some time to complete. And..."After a pause, Annie looked at Violet and asked, "We partnered with Baxter Group to get close to Carson and get the data we needed. Now, we had obtained our objective. Shall we continue to cooperate with them?"Thinking for a while, Violet averted her eyes from the files and looked up at Annie, "For now, keep working together is our best choice. The cooperation is drawing to an end. If we end cooperation now, the termination process can be cumbersome. It's not worth wasting time on that. Besides, good cooperative credit is more advantageous to us in litigation.""Well, I see." Annie
Everly frowned slightly. Looking over, she found that those people were indeed furious.The employee aside even took out his phone and showed her the latest news. "Violet, you see, as soon as the market opened, the stocks were immediately sold. Only a few minutes later, the stocks all fell to the limit. Even if people wanted to sell their stocks, they had no way. It’s unknown who spread the news, and all the people are taking aim at you now. Now people are crowding here. Though there are only a small group of people now, there will be more and more people coming! Run away now!"When Everly read the news on the phone and then looked at the increasing number of people gathering outside, she felt something was wrong.If there was really a problem, people would have come last night. How could Everly go to the restaurant and have a meal? Someone must have plotted this incident.There had also been things before that caused stocks to fall to the limit, but people were not as frantic as n
"No!" Everly said decidedly, "There is no way I'm gonna leave you here alone.""Everly..." Everly pulled Annie over when Annie was about to say something."Bang!"Something was thrown from the crowd and smashed into pieces."Shit!" Annie cursed in a fury and was about to rush out. Yet, she was stopped by Everly and calmed down gradually."Now, what we need to do is settle it, not get out of here." Everly handed Annie the phone to show her the message she had just received.[Be careful, Violet. The back door was blocked up, too. We escaped from the crowd by pretending that we were pleasure-seekers. All of them were heavily disguised. I overheard their plan: Make noise at the front door and keep quiet at the back. In this way, you'll think the back way is safe, and when you get there, they'll besiege you. I've already called the police. Take care.]"What a dirty trick! Someone must have given an order to these bastards!" Although Annie gnashed her teeth with anger, she couldn't do
"Ask those people to protect Violet. Don’t expose me," Carson ordered.Robbie immediately understood what Carson meant. ‘Now there is the breaking news about the resignation of Mr. Baxter, and Mr. Baxter resigned his position for Miss Pettis. If he helps Miss Pettis overly, the matter will become more serious, and his help will bring trouble.’‘Now what we need to do is to keep our people on standby. Although the situation is serious, Miss Pettis is not harmed. Once the crowd outside the studio breaks in, our people can protect Miss Pettis from danger.’‘And Mr. Baxter conceived such a plan long ago, so from the beginning, he mobilized people and asked them to stay around the studio. Now there will be no strangers suddenly appearing, and the person behind the scenes won’t be alerted.’"Yes!" Robbie answered immediately and then went to make arrangements in a hurry.‘Mr. Baxter cares about Miss Pettis very much. Even if it is protection, he is cautious, as he is afraid that Miss Pe
As Lisa was thinking about it, her phone suddenly vibrated. She frowned slightly, picked up the phone, and looked at it, revealing an impatient look."What's the matter? Who’s calling?" The man noticed the change in Lisa's mood and asked immediately.Lisa looked at the phone impatiently, not knowing whether she should answer it or not."From the Whites?" The man understood as soon as he saw her face.Lisa looked at him hatefully, then took a deep breath and answered the phone."What’s the matter?" Lisa asked."What’s the matter!" Her mother’s shrill voice came from the phone. "Do you still mean to ask me? What the hell have you been doing lately! Why hasn't our situation improved in the slightest? Now it is even more serious than before! Lisa, don't forget you came to us and told us that you could keep our family safe, so that's why we handed over your sister! Do you know what kind of life your sister is living in prison now?"Lisa rubbed her temples wearily and said, "Don't urg
Even though she had turned on message blocking, there were still countless abusive text messages that could be sent to her phone in various ways to bypass blocking. However, she didn't dare to turn off her phone completely. After all, she still needed to wait for Austin's message."Everly, don't look." Annie next to her saw this and immediately said, "Mr. Samberg is probably taking care of things right now. He will contact us through other means when he has news afterward."However, Everly was still not reassured. Instead, she turned on her computer and started browsing the Internet for information."Everly, what are you doing?" Annie didn't understand what Everly was thinking and was just worried about her. "Don't look. If you keep looking at these messages, it will only make you angry. Don't look at it!""I won't get mad." Everly skimmed through the messages one by one and said, "Right now, there's nothing we can do here but get anxious. Since someone is plotting against us, some
