Violet thought about Nathaniel the entire journey back home.She thought about how he found out about her true identity, about how familiar he felt to her, and about how madly in love he was with her.She didn't know why but she felt slightly panicked.She kept superimposing the face of the older boy she met at the orphanage over Nathaniel's in her mind and the more she thought about it, the more similar they looked.She clutched at her chest. If Nathaniel really was the older boy she met at the orphanage, she didn't know what she was going to do.She couldn't ask him if he was the boy. Because she was afraid … The reason why she never tried to look for that older boy was because she was afraid that she would hate him.Just then, the sound of a gunshot broke her free from her thoughts.She came back to her senses immediately and realized that her driver had been shot and the car was now spinning out of control. She looked out and saw that her car was now hurtling toward a

Violet remained rooted to the spot. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly as she listened to Marina's moans, which had grown louder and more seductive.She couldn't help but wonder if Carl was truly having sex with Marina right now.Violet could only sniffle pathetically. Had she known that she'd be greeted with such a scene right after returning to this place, she wouldn't have returned in the first place.How could Carl be this cruel to her? He didn't even bother listening to her explanation! Heck, he didn't even want her to speak to him!"Why aren't you turning around to watch us?" Carl demanded.An eager smile played on Marina's lips. At the same time, she was worried about the possibility of Carl fucking her right in front of Violet just to piss the latter off. If that were to happen, he'd know that Marina was no longer a virgin.Marina shuddered to think about the consequences.Then again, the more thrilling the situation, the more Marina wanted to challenge the odds."

"Be nice to her, Samuel." Christine defended Helen instantly. "We have to focus on the main problem now. If our families do clash against each other, the bond between us will be ruined, much less our men and weaponry."It's a lose-lose situation for both families. The Simmons family will definitely mock us from the sidelines if this fight does break out.""Precisely!" Elsa's tone became more tender. "Just stay out of this matter, alright? All of you should turn in for the night. I'll deal with Carl later."She did some mental calculations after that. If Carl were to depart from Zeloth, he'd need to travel for eight hours. No matter how fast he drove, he'd still need at least six hours to reach the city the Whites lived in.That was unless Carl decided to fly here right away.The thing was, Elsa did receive word that Carl was flying toward the White residence right now.This angered her greatly. Just what sort of spell did Violet cast on Carl? Also, why weren't Lucy's methods wo

Violey lay in bed with Whitney in her arms. Whitney gently caressed Violet's pale face with her small hands."Mommy, didn't you promise to take good care of yourself? Why were you so careless?" Whitney asked, feeling a dull ache in her heart.Violet smiled faintly and said, "Sorry, I was careless and fell into a trap.""You can't be careless again next time!" Whitney exclaimed in a no-nonsense tone. "If something happens to Mommy, what's going to happen to me? And Daddy?"Violet stopped smiling at once. The biggest thing she couldn't control was Whitney's feelings for Carl. It was obvious that the father and daughter shared a special bond, and this wasn't something she could forcefully remove.Whitney rolled her eyes seeing her mother getting triggered by the mere mention of her father. She needed Violet to give Carl a second chance. So, she was going to be honest with Violet.Whitney said in a soft tone, "Mommy, there's something I want to tell you!""What is it?" Violet asked,

When Violet arrived, she smelled the scent of gunpowder in the air. She was nervous because she was about to see Carl, so she took a deep breath.Reed was the first to welcome them and asked, "How are you feeling? Did it hurt a lot? Are your injuries serious?"Violet gave a faint smile and shook her head. As an assassin, she had long gotten used to injuries!She said, "I'm fine. You should try out Maverick's car when you go back home!""Please stop chatting!" Maverick had never wasted time when dealing with serious matters. "Is Carlie still inside? Has the battle started yet?"Mr. Walker is in the master bedroom," Reed said and checked his watch, "The battle will start in five minutes.""Violet darling, hurry up and talk to Carlie!" Maverick instructed. "Also, Reed, where is the person sent by the Whites? I want to see him!"Reed immediately led Maverick to the negotiator, who had been reluctant to leave without seeing Carl."Go ahead, Mommy. We will wait for you outside," Whit
