Isabelle grabbed Carl's clothes tightly. After crying, she wiped her tears away but continued to sob, looking pitiful and fragile."Thank you. Just now … if you didn't … I …"She trailed off, weeping."Why didn't you shout?" Carl roared at Isabelle. "Don't you know how to ask for help?""I …" Isabelle cried silently.Carl barked, "You can't even protect yourself? You're not that weak!"Isabelle reached out to smooth Carl's frown. "Carl, don't frown. Don't be mad."Carl's fist tightened. A surge of anger spread in his heart, and he felt like venting.Isabelle forced a smile. "If I weren't with Timothy this time, I wouldn't have been able to come back at all. I wouldn't have seen you, either."Carl, I really want to know. During these years apart, have you ... ever missed me? You haven't, right?"You have Violet with you, so I'm sure you've forgotten all about me!" Carl said, "We're over. Find a new man and live your life.""They always say men are crueler than women, and I'

After hanging up, Violet stayed in the villa's garden. She saw Marina admiring the flowers here too.Marina smirked when she saw Violet.Violet stood there without moving, thinking that she didn't have anything to talk to Marina about. There was no need for her to leave just because Marina was there, either.Violet was in her own thoughts when Marina walked over with a mocking look."Many women here couldn't stay by Mr. Walker's side for long. You are the only one. I'd like to see how long you can remain here," Marina said softly.Violet didn't reply as she already had too much on her plate, so she wasn't in the mood to care about Marina's words."However … you flirt with Reed behind Mr. Walker's back. Aren't you afraid of creating trouble for Reed?" Marina asked with a hint of jealousy."That person would be you, not me," answered Violet.Marina's eyes darkened. Violet continued, "You and Reed … that's your relationship issue, but if you have other intentions … " Violet didn't

Carl furrowed his brows. If what Reed said was true, Violet's disappearance must have something to do with the Demon King.He didn't care if the Demon King had anything to do with Violet going missing. No matter what, Carl wouldn't let any chance slip through his fingers.Violet would be toast if Carl caught her."Go and check!" Carl said with gritted teeth, "Find her!" Reed obeyed his order and went to look for Violet according to his guess. Carl was then left alone in the office. His anger flared up every time he thought of Violet. After calming down, though, he worried about her and missed her a lot.Carl wondered what had happened that caused Violet to leave without a word.…Meanwhile, after Violet settled down in a hotel, she checked on her gun.It had been days since she left the villa. She brushed shoulders with Carl's subordinate a few times after she left, but they didn't recognize her.Violet smirked at the thought that Carl was looking for her.Did they think

It was a set of beautiful jewelry and Violet knew the name of the diamond. It was called "The Angelic Eye", a classic among diamond jewelry."It's so beautiful!""Oh my god. You bought this, Uncle Carl!"Carl raised his eyebrows proudly when he saw Violet's surprised expression. "How is it? Do you like it?"Yes! Of course, she liked it!Violet would be thrilled if she received this before everything went down. But now …"Why did you spend so much on this?" Violet asked bluntly, "Such a big diamond would just be a decoration at home. You should sell this and give me the cash."Carl was speechless."What? It's true!" Violet continued. "Why would I wear such a big diamond?"Carl's expression darkened after hearing that. He bought it to make Violet happy, but Violet didn't appreciate it. She was babbling on and on as if he had made a mistake with the purchase.He was rich! He could buy whatever he wanted!He didn't even want to hear what she was talking about.Carl turned aro

Since the day Annabel was gone, Maverick had never stopped looking for her.He had been holding on to that thread of hope that Annabel did not die. He hoped that Annabel was only taken away and was still alive and well.Even that thought had him on pins and needles. He wanted to get her back immediately.Violet witnessed Maverick murmuring to himself. He was obsessed with finding Annabel.She was very worried about the lie being revealed. If that were to happen, Maverick would fall into endless grief again.Violet heaved a long sigh. There had been too many things weighing on her mind recently. These problems came one after another, not leaving her even a second of peace.She did not know when the storm would quiet down.At this moment, a shadow flashed across Violet's eyes."Come out!" Violet threatened icily, "You think you can run away in the villa?"After a pause, no one replied to her. Violet continued, "Or perhaps, you are someone from the villa?"There was still no one
