When Violet and the staff were busy working in the office, Timothy came out after packing up. Lisa honked at him.Timothy froze and walked over."How's the plan going?" Lisa asked.Timothy looked weird but finally nodded. "I've resigned in front of everyone and packed my things. Just now when I went out, some staff members had also prepared their resignations. I had incited them before. It seems that they are about to leave Violet's Studio as well.""Good job." Lisa nodded, handed an envelope to Timothy, and said, "This is what I promised you. Besides, I'll ask someone to write you a recommendation. You can get a position in another design company with it."Timothy glanced at the envelope. He didn't know what was in it but nodded and took it."Thank you," Timothy said and left. Lisa watched him go away and waited for a while. Seeing some staff members walk out of the office with their things, she curved her lips."No one is willing to work for you. Everly, what can you do?" Li
Violet's Studio.Everly had walked out.Three people had visited her office in the past few minutes, each holding a letter of resignation, and all those letters looked almost the same as Timothy's, so Everly could tell that they had probably had the whole thing planned out.Therefore, she might as well come out of the office.An employee was just about to knock at her office door when she walked out. He immediately saw her and stiffened, his face very awkward.Moreover, the instant she showed up, those talking animatedly fell silent all at once.Everly realized that they had been talking about her a moment ago."Violet…" The employee in the doorway embarrassedly scratched his head and said, "I happen to have something to talk to you about…""Okay." Everly cast a look at him and couldn't help but notice the envelope he was holding in his hand, which was almost identical to those that Timothy and the others had shown her.She caught on.She glanced around the studio and found t
There were only a few people staying in the big studio.Everly's hands behind her back were clenched tightly, as she was trying hard to hold back her disappointment and despair. Finally, she asked, "Is there someone still wanting to leave?"Nobody replied.Then, there was the sound of chairs being pulled away."Violet, we have just decided that we won’t leave." Suddenly, a person said.Everly looked up at the few people who chose to stay.They all looked at her.Everly didn't know what to say, with a lump in her throat."Yeah, when the others discussed whether to leave just now, we have already decided to stay." A female employee said. "When we were in Strandia, we plunged into a plight. It was you who took us in and gave us a job. With your help, we could fulfil our potential, continue to learn, and improve ourselves little by little. Then we can achieve our today’s position. Even if all the other people leave, we won't leave."Everly's eyes became a little wet.When she too
“I'm not sure. Let's not mess around. We'll see what happens next.""You're right. But I don't think we need to treat him like a prince anymore." "I think you have a point here." ... After the discussion, they went on with what they were doing. But afterward, when the kids were playing games, they didn't give precedence to Oliver like they used to. The kids felt that the teachers were acting strange, but Oliver didn't seem to be aware of it at all. Near the end of the school day, a teacher came up to Oliver and asked him, "Oliver, who is picking you up after school today?" Oliver looked up at the teacher. He thought about it and answered, "I don't know." "Oh, I see. Could you call your dad and ask him? Most of the days before, it was your dad's secretary who came to pick you up, but now your dad doesn't have a secretary anymore, so I need to make sure who is going to pick you up after school. Otherwise, if a stranger comes to pick you up, I'm not sure if I can let you g
Oliver thought, 'I need to put on a show, and then I can complain to Mom. Good!'Oliver was so delighted that his eyes lit up. Yet he lowered his head, looking distressed."Oliver, don't be sad," Lily said worriedly, "everything will be okay.""Maybe," Oliver replied in a low voice with a nod. They walked out of the classroom.The final bell rang. The teachers led out the children. Their parents would come to pick them up. Oliver packed his small schoolbag and stood in line....In the office, Everly looked at the clock and found it was time for Oliver to leave school.She had rearranged the work for the staff. Everything was ready.Thinking of the news about Carson that she had read today, Everly couldn't concentrate on the documents.Finally, she put them aside, picked up the car key, and went out of her office."Violet.""Good afternoon, Violet."The staff members greeted her.Everly nodded and smiled. Seeing Annie come over, Everly said, "I have to go out. You can send
Everly realized what was going on the moment she got close to the crowd. Thinking about her identity, Everly wanted to hide immediately.However, the next moment, someone spotted her instantly."Violet!"Although not many reporters paid attention to her, Everly knew that her identity had been exposed. Even if she left now, reporters would still mention her in the story.Since that was the case, she might as well go to save Carson and Oliver.Thinking like this, Everly ducked out of the way while calling someone.It didn't take long for a line of security guards to follow Everly. They all opened the way and headed for Carson and Oliver, who were surrounded by a growing crowd.Then, they passed through layer after layer of people.It took Everly a lot of effort to break through layers of people and get into the inner circle.The flash of numerous camera lights enveloped Carson and Oliver inside.As Everly pushed through the crowd, Carson seemed to notice the new intruder and tu
Carson glanced down at Oliver.Then he nodded.Only then did Everly feel relieved and tell the bodyguards to clear a path for her. They progressed through the crowd of reporters as the latter flashed their flash lights at them.They wanted to leave, but the reporters refused to let them have their way that easily.Apart from anything else, Carson being in reduced circumstances was a piece of bombshell news, and now even Violet had shown up. This news was even more sensational!The reporters were determined to drag more information out of the two.However, these bodyguards were very dedicated to their job. They solidly held the reporters back, keeping them a certain distance away from Everly and Carson."Let's go!" Everly promptly said to Carson.He inclined his head, following her through the throng as if she were the only one he could see.It was already dusk, but the countless flash lights made the place as bright as day.Amid the babble of voices and the sea of light, howe
"It's okay. I'll take you to school and pick you up every day from now on, okay?" Everly immediately comforted Oliver."Um…""Oliver!"Before Oliver could say yes, Carson called out to him.Everly subconsciously looked at Carson. He had just put his phone away after texting someone.Oliver grunted in an aggrieved tone of voice, but he could not say anything. He timidly glanced at Carson and looked very aggrieved.Everly saw his look and frowned slightly. She could not help but say to Carson, "To avoid what happened today again, the best way is to let me get Oliver to and from school every day, isn't it? Why did you disapprove?"But Carson just glanced at her and then said, "That's what I should do instead of you.""You...""I was indeed not prepared today, and I thank you very much. But after all, you're not his family. Neither Oliver nor I am in a position to bother you like that." He explained and looked up at her with those dark eyes."What is wrong with you?" Everly didn'
