Violet brought the owner of the bicycle, Lia, to the basement. Lia looked at her in fear as she said, "Violet, I'm really not the traitor. Trust me, I'm innocent!""You're the only one who uses the bicycle. The key is in your hands. Moreover, why are there tire marks in the backyard?" Violet asked."The backyard?" Lia shook her head in disbelief. "That's impossible! I've never ridden a bicycle there before!"Violet showed Lia some pictures she had taken as evidence. "These are the photos I took."Looking at the photos, Lia explained hurriedly, "Someone must have stolen my bicycle. Violet, I didn't do it!""I've observed your behavior for the past few days. You've been acting weird, and you haven't been doing your work seriously. I even found a remote control on your bed," Violet said in a low and cold voice. "How do you explain that?"Carl looked at Violet. She rarely showed her current demeanor—cold, fearless, ruthless, and a bit fierce. But she was so perfect that it was endear

When Violet woke up, it was barely dawn.She yawned before tidying herself up briefly. Then, she woke Whitney and Mick up.A chilly gust hit her the moment she opened her door.It was none other than Carl.Violet's mind whirred. Carl must have been in a bad temper after she failed to stay awake until he returned.Still, she felt there was no need for him to overreact like this."You're up?" Carl began. His tone was emotionless.Violet flashed a smile at him. "Why, good morning!"She wondered how she could possibly get him to warm up to her.Carl's eyes darkened. "Where were you last night?""I went out for dinner. I came back straight after," Violet replied honestly."And who did you go out with?""What?""What did you eat?" Carl continued."What's up with you?" she returned."Just tell me what you fucking did!" Carl bellowed suddenly. His eyes filled with rage.Violet didn't understand his sudden change of mood. Even though he knew she had been out with Nathaniel, ther

Annabel was a computer expert whose skills were unparalleled. She truly was a genius among hackers.Violet glanced at Annabel desperately. "My daughter and her friend have been kidnapped. I need to find them.""Are they the two kids we met last time for dinner?" Annabel asked.Violet nodded.Annabel's expression grew serious. "Give me your computer. Let me try."Violet's computer knowledge had mostly been self-taught. She was not particularly fond of dabbling in technology, especially not something so advanced.As a result, she had only managed to scratch the surface of it.It wasn't until she was forced to make use of her skills today that she realized they were hardly enough.Still, with Annabel's help, their search became much faster.Just then, Maverick made a call to Carl in Ausstan."Found anything?" Carl began with a question."I wish it were that easy!" Maverick sighed. "Tell you what, Whitney and Mick have been kidnapped. No amount of investigation on our side is yi

After the meal, Whitney went to Violet's room to hang out and play.It had become true that Carl was the leader of the Night Crawlers. So, Whitney decided not to be sad or complain about it anymore.She was waiting for a chance to reveal their relationship with Carl. Then, Carl would give up on the terrorist organization for their sake. Then, Carl would be fine.So, the key was in Violet's attitude toward Carl.Taking her daughter's hand, Violet spoke. "Baby, I'll do my best to find all the antidotes for you. Then, we'll leave this place."We have to go to a place where he'll never find us, even if it means going to the ends of the earth!""Mommy," Whitney said, her heart breaking. "I asked Daddy about it. He said that the poison won't harm my body as long as I take the antidote regularly.""Even medicine can be dangerous, let alone real poison." Violet raised her voice. Then, she softened down and said, "Don't try to put us together again.""You said that you like him, right?"

Near nightfall, Violet received a phone call. She was informed that Dr. Howell was spotted in the Royal Vacation Hotel.Without another word, Violet set out to talk to him. "Violet." When she arrived at the door, Marina called out to her. "The movie yesterday was great, thanks." There was a seductive smile on her face."You're welcome," Violet said coldly. She hastily left the villa.In the car, Violet couldn't help but recall Marina's satisfied smile just now.She thought, "By the looks of it, Marina and Carl got along very well yesterday! They must have gotten intertwined a couple of times."What a jerk! He would sleep with anyone who comes to him!"Once she arrived at the entrance of the Royal Vacation Hotel, Violet had a dark look on her face.Six years ago, this was the place where she had slept with Carl.Was she filled with hatred?In reality, she no longer had hatred in her heart.Whitney was a blessing to her. If Carl never existed, Whitney would not have existed e
