He thought back to how miserable Alice looked when she cried and was on the brink of exploding when he saw Carson's expressionless face."Carson, what's so bad about Alice?" He roared, "Davidsons might not be as powerful as the Baxters, but we are at the top in both Canneville and around the globe! Our families have been partners for so many years that we know one another well! Alice is my only sister, and with her status, she could have had any man she wanted, but she only wants you! Even if you love another and have a child with that woman, Alice said she could accept it. She even told us that she would take good care of Oliver!" Tears began to gather in Richard's eyes as he spoke, "Whereas Violet uses the authority you gave her to investigate confidential information about Baxter Group in order to threaten you! You won't have someone like Alice who is fully devoted to you, but instead, you go after a vicious, scheming woman regardless of the cost! Carson Baxter, have you gone mad

Carson stood still without moving in that direction or saying anything and simply stared.The storm raged on outside the building, and the corridor was filled with noises as people walked past. The cold light of the hospital made everything appear lonesome.Suddenly, a small hand grabbed Carson by the hand.He lowered his head and found a pair of eyes that resembled Everly looking back at him."Dad," Oliver said sweetly.He looked at Oliver with dark, brooding eyes."Dad, I heard from Grandma that you and M… Aunt Violet got hurt. Are you okay? Does it hurt?" Oliver blurted out, his big eyes filled with concern.Carson tightened his grip around Oliver's hand as he looked at him before reaching over his other hand to stroke Oliver on the cheek.He wondered when Everly's eyes would show emotions other than hatred toward him like the way Oliver did.Worried, Oliver said, "Dad…"Carson did not speak and retrieved his arm while holding Oliver's hand as he continued to stare in the

Annie knew exactly what Robbie wanted the moment she saw him. What she had not anticipated was that he would still say those words despite her warning.Furious, Annie ran up against him and shoved him outside. "Didn't I tell you that you are not welcome here? What do you think you are doing, forcing your way in?"Robbie ignored Annie's effort of pushing him away and continued looking at Everly. "Miss Pettis, Mister Baxter would have given his life for you. The surgery went on for hours, and now that he's finally awake, aren't you going to see him? Don't you want to know how he's doing? Don't you want to know the state of his injury and whether he is okay?" he shouted.Annie grew increasingly impatient. "Get out!" She gave one forceful shove and completely pushed Robbie outside before slamming the door shut and locking it from the inside.Even when he was locked outside, Robbie kept on shouting, "You can't do this, Miss Pettis. Can't you see what Mister Baxter has done for you? Plea

A simple word was enough to stop Robbie from babbling, leaving the room in silence.Everly's hand froze in the air but never went to knock on the door.They mentioned that Austin had been here.Memories of everything that had happened earlier overwhelmed her once again and she seemed to see Austin's crazed eyes before her.After a while, Oliver said, "Dad, I want to eat that. Uncle Robbie, can you pass it over?"The tension eased because of what Oliver said, and Robbie started talking again. Instantly, the room was filled with cheerful sounds once again.Everly clenched her fist and slowly lowered her arm before lowering her gaze to look at the Sakura accessory on her wheelchair, which was slightly swaying as she moved the wheelchair at the moment.She closed her eyes and opened them again after a few minutes before moving her wheelchair to leave."Everly…" Annie could not help but call out.Everly simply shook her head and continued heading back. She could still hear the soun

"This isn't like you. You weren't like this when you were facing Alice and Angelica. You've overestimated her," the man said in a low voice.Lisa glanced at the man beside her and sneered. "I'm not overestimating her. I just hate her too much. She is the reason why I have to suffer everything. Whenever I think of the pain I've gone through lately, I itch to tear her apart!""Alright. I still think you are too worried, she's just a woman," the man continued.Lisa seemed to be reminded of something and smiled. "Sure, she's just a woman. She used to be an arrogant, wealthy lady and even after all these years, she's still the same. She could never compare to me.""As long as you know that," the man said."Get off here. There's no surveillance around. It's no good if people see the two of us together," Lisa said.The man didn't say anything and simply opened the car door and went out immediately.Lisa watched as he left before stepping on the gas and left swiftly as though nothing ha
