The air in the villa seemed to cool down. Coldness seemed to emanate from Carl."Stop!" Carl said, his teeth clenched.Violets stopped and looked back at him. "Is there something you need, Mr. Walker?"Carl did not know what to say. He couldn't exactly stop her from going to see Donald.What did she say just now? That she belonged to Donald?What a joke!He'd just molested her around the waist for a while. Was that what she considered a stake of claim?"Did you trip Mr. Brown?" he asked coldly.Violet was speechless. This was a blatant framing."Do you have any evidence, Mr. Walker?" Violet retorted, equally cold.Carl's anger seemed to solidify around him. Violet was getting bolder by the day. How dared she question him?Fine! Just fine!"Come with me to the study!" he ordered. He did not turn. He wanted to make sure that Violet would follow his orders before he left.Violet shrugged. She wanted to know what Carl was up to anyway."Carl!" Isabelle sounded panicked.She
When Carl arrived at the hospital in haste, Violet and Donald were alone in the room.He kicked the door open. Even though Donald couldn't do anything to Violet in his injured state, he still felt very jealous at the thought of them spending time together.Violet just gave him a cold look when he entered. She stood up and turned to leave."Where do you think you're going?" Carl roared.Violet ignored him and kept walking.Carl turned and yelled at Donald, "Violet is mine! Don't you get any ideas about her!""What?" Donald was shocked. "Carl, what do you mean by that? You just agreed to give her to me, yet you're now saying that she's yours? Are you making me a fool?""If you touch her again, you won't see tomorrow," Carl spat before hurrying after Violet.Donald was stunned. What was happening now?Carl caught up to Violet and grabbed her wrist. "Why are you running?" he shouted."Let go," Violet said coldly."You are mine!" Carl roared. "Why would I let go of you?"Violet
Carl watched Violet intently, and her silence made him panic."I'm sorry." Carl's voice was sincere as he apologized, "I'm really sorry.""Mr. Walker, why are you apologizing to me?" Violet smiled as she asked. "You've done nothing wrong.""Vi!" Carl started to panic. "It's not what it looks like!""It doesn't matter." Violet still had a light smile on her face as she continued, "I just hope that you will return Whitney to me."Carl shook his head. He also wanted to reunite Violet with a healthy Whitney, but he couldn't do that right now."You already have a child, so what more do you want?" Violet raised her voice slightly as she hissed, "Whitney is just a child. She is not a threat to your organization!""Give me some time. I will figure things out," Carl explained hurriedly."It's too late now," Violet said as she shifted her gaze away from him. "I've waited for a long time already, and I haven't left the villa at all, right?"During this time, not only did Carl not apologi
Carl didn't go to see Whitney. Instead, he went to the headquarters of the Night Crawlers to smoke.Carl didn't usually smoke, but whenever he faced a problem he couldn't solve, he would chain-smoke.The office was soon filled with the stench of cigarettes, and the ground was also littered with ashes. It was only after he had finished smoking the last cigarette that Carl finally looked at his phone.He searched for Dr. Howell's number and dialed it. The dial tone beeped slowly, and his heart raced as he waited for Dr. Howell to pick up."Mr. Walker?" Dr. Howell's tone was laced with confusion. "It's so late already …""Can you save Whitney with the umbilical cord blood of someone who has the same father as her but a different mother?" Carl's tone was cold but was laced with a complicated emotion."We can try …" Dr. Howell replied."Try?" Carl frowned. "Why don't I try to break your neck instead?" "Mr. Walker …" Dr. Howell sounded pained. "You can't blame me. The process of cur
Fury rolled off Carl in waves at that, and Violet watched him lazily. This was exactly what she wanted, to provoke him.Strangely, Carl didn't lose his temper.Carl, who was known for his explosive temper, did not lose his temper!Violet was bewildered by his reaction.Carl looked at her coldly before snapping, "Did you think I would leave if you piss me off? You really are a stupid woman!"Violet was dumbfounded. Had he seen through her tricks?"I won't get upset," Carl gritted out. "Violet, I know that you love me, not him!""That was the past," Violet stated as she rolled her eyes. "You think too much of yourself.""I watched Maverick cry again just now," Carl said softly. "He's such a strong man, and nothing ever bothered him. But now that Annabel is dead, he has become a completely different person."Violet's eyes darkened. Annabel's death had been weighing on her heart, too, and she had tried her best to forget it, but she just couldn't."I finally understand now. To be
"Carl?" Isabelle exclaimed in alarm. "I am the mother of your child!"Carl's gaze was frosty as he replied, "Go back to your room if you have nothing else to say. I still have many things to take care of."Isabelle was very puzzled. She had no idea what Carl was trying to do. She had thought that Carl and Violet's relationship would crumble once it was revealed that she was pregnant with his child. However, why did it seem like they were closer than ever?Isabelle also had no idea what Violet was thinking. Unless … they had somehow managed to resolve their misunderstandings?Impossible!Isabelle was sure that Carl was not the type to explain himself when there was a misunderstanding.Thus, Isabelle could only leave the study room for now. Since she couldn't talk to Carl, she was going to look for Violet.Violet was currently circling areas on a map where Whitney could be. When she heard someone at the door, she didn't immediately respond and instead continued pondering over th
"After we watch a movie together, Whitney will call you and tell you what she's doing herself," Carl explained. "So, let's go watch a movie. What movie do you want to watch?"After that, Carl walked off in the direction of his car."I'm coming with you!" Violet exclaimed as she ran to his side. "This girl! Does she not miss me at all? How could she force me to watch a movie with you just to get a call from her? My chest is expanding and about to explode from all the anger building up in me!" Violet grumbled.Carl unabashedly stared at Violet's chest. After a while, he said, "Liar, your chest isn't getting bigger."Violet shot a seething glare at him as her cheeks flamed. She kicked him in annoyance, and they left the restaurant still bickering with each other.Once they were at the cinema, Violet studied the titles of the movies and mumbled, "Which movie has the shortest run time?"Carl felt a stab of pain go through his heart at her words. He knew that Violet genuinely missed Wh
Violet's secretive behavior made Carl narrow his eyes in suspicion.Carl studied Violet intently. Violet wanted to keep asking about Whitney but didn't for fear that she would accidentally expose her identity."Let's go back home first," Carl suggested. "Or would you like to eat something and go shopping instead?""Let's go home," Violet said weakly. How could she be in the mood to eat and shop if Whitney wouldn't call her?Violet suddenly felt as if she were an incompetent mother. She couldn't even take care of her own daughter.Carl held Violet's hand lightly as he reassured her, "Trust me, Whitney will be alright."Violet could only nod. She believed in Carl's words, but she also believed in Whitney. Whitney was an elite member of Interpol and couldn't be defeated so easily!Back in the house, Violet sat listlessly on her bed as she stared at her phone.However, the phone never rang.Violet's heart was racing as she thought, "Oh, Whitney, what exactly are you doing? Don't y
