His face looked colder, and he took a step towards her. Everly immediately backed away with every step he took, closer to her. She then stood still, and her body trembled slightly from the tension.“Don’t come near!” she cried.However, he did not stop.She was forced to retreat step by step, and he quickly approached her with a sullen face, cornering her.Her back came in contact with the cold wall, and there was no room to make a further retreat.“Everly, in this world, no one can threaten me!” He pushed her against the corner, and his voice came from above her like rumbling thunder.Everly raised her eyes to look at him and saw that his eyes were calm with determination as if he had definite control over her!She hated the look that he was giving her!She hated this feeling!He had been looking at her this way since the day she stepped into the Baxter family, and she liked it. She was intoxicated, and it was fatal; now, she had no way out.After four years of imprisonment,
“Sir, you…” An anxious voice came from the butler who was watching aside. However, there was only red in Everly’s eyes.“Everly Pettis, your life and death were never in your hands!” Carson’s voice came from above her, rumbling with emotions she could not understand. She raised her head to look at him again, and she could only see his eyes amidst the chaos.Tears dripped from the corner of her eyes, and her heart ached suddenly.The porcelain piece in her hand was taken away by him and thrown aside in the snow. She did not understand why she was crying hysterically.Everything after that seemed to have become hurried episodes. The restless doctors, the busy servants, and the whole villa became extremely noisy. Nonetheless, the ruckus seemed to have nothing to do with her.She was like an outsider, staring at all this in a daze.She stared at the doctor bandaging the wound around Carson, and there was someone else walking towards her. The moment she touched her, Everly pushed hers
The butler looked in the direction Carson left again, and sadness filled his eyes. When the young master was little, he was already working here as a butler. He watched him grow up with Everly.He was puzzled. The young master obviously cherished Everly. The butler remembered that there was someone talking behind Everly’s back, saying that she was only a lowlife hated by everyone. Young master directly destroyed all the financial foundations accumulated by his parents just to lift Everly’s humiliation.Moreover, the young master would always bring Everly around no matter where he went. Many times, when he opened the car door, all that he saw was the young master carrying the sleeping Everly home carefully.He always thought that both of them would always be close, but now… How did everything become like this?The butler shook his head again, and said to the servant on one side, “Don’t let Miss Pettis catch a cold. Send her back to the room.”“Yes!” said the servant, and she went t
“Everly, how much more trouble are you going to get yourself into?!” he rebuked sternly.“You let me go!”She struggled subconsciously, but her hands and feet were pinned down tightly. His eyes narrowed and trapped her in his gaze, “Do you think I’ll let you go if you continue to create trouble? Don’t think about it, Everly. You have to pay the price for everything that you’ve done!”She raised her head suddenly and saw that he was staring at her unwaveringly. At this moment, an unexplainable emotion hit her. Her nose turned sour and her tears were welling up again.Over the past four years, she had hoped countless times that he would show up at the door of the prison one day, telling her that he had misunderstood her, telling her how regretful and how sad he was, saying that he could not live without her. He would later take her home, and they would never separate again.However, now… he trapped her here, and she just wanted to escape.She had been looking forward to a home for
“I won’t eat that! Just kill me! Don’t you want to avenge her? Just kill me already!” Everly looked crazy, struggling to resist, but he did not respond. He just stood there calmly and looked down at her.Why was this happening?Why did it stay the same?The feeling of powerlessness had seized her, and all her actions were to no avail. She hated this feeling!“Argh!”She hissed and screamed, her voice echoed throughout the room, but it made no difference. She looked at him with red eyes, and he was still calm and there was no compassion on his face. She was even saddened by this.Her constant struggle made her wounds rip open and bleed severely, crimson blood rushed to penetrate the gauze on her neck. The butler panicked.“Sir…”“Give her a tranquilizer,” he said calmly.“I don’t…” Before she could finish, the needle had been plunged into her skin, and the cold medicine was injected. The whole world calmed down instantly.She still had her gaze fixed on him.With red eyes, sh
The butler was slightly startled, but he said nothing and just replied with a nod.“Buzz…”Carson picked up the phone on one side and pressed the answer button. “Lisa…”The butler withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.Carson raised his head and looked at the butler as he left. He then looked at the picture frame that was flipped to face downward. His expression was indiscernible.…Another day passed. Everly still refused to give in and refused to eat. She struggled and hauled everything to the ground. The wound on her neck opened again and again, and finally…“I’ll tie you up if you disobey further! The Baxter residence is not a place where you can be headstrong!”Carson personally ordered her to be tied to the bed with a restraint belt.“Miss Pettis, the young master does this for your own good. You always make trouble like this and it’s not good for recovery.” The butler comforted her while wiping her hands and feet with warm water.Everly did not speak.She just turned
The butler on one side immediately smiled and said, “Where did you hear the rumors, Mr. Samberg? Miss Pettis was gone three years ago. How could she be alive?!”Austin did not answer the butler’s words. His gaze was riveted on Carson, but the latter only looked at his laptop as if he had acquiesced to the butler’s words. He did not show any reaction.There was another long silence, and only the sound of Carson tapping on the keyboard could be heard.Austin could not help it anymore. He grasped Carson’s arm and broke the silence forcibly.Carson slowly raised his eyes to look at Austin. His eyes were calm and he did not speak. He only looked at him coldly.Austin stopped smiling. He locked Carson’s hand in his grip and said solemnly, “Carson, do you have any idea what the situation is?! Four years ago, Everly committed murder, and you personally sent her to prison and sentenced her to ten years. If what the rumor said is true, then she has escaped from the prison!”Austin’s voice
Clack!The sound of closing the door was heard, and then someone walked up to him.“Sir, Mr. Samberg has left,” the butler’s voice came.Carson lowered his eyes lightly, “Mm.”Then there was another long silence. Suddenly…Thump, thump, thump!There was a rush of footsteps, and then the servant’s voice echoed. “Sir, Miss Pettis has been taking a bath for a long time and has not come out! No matter how I knock on the door, there’s no response!”Carson raised his head and saw the servant’s flustered face.“Get the spare key!” the butler said anxiously. Carson was already on the move towards the bathroom.The conversation continued after Carson had left.“Didn't the young master say to keep her tied up? How can you let her take a bath by herself?!”“Uncle Benny, Miss Pettis drank the chicken soup obediently just now. I thought she had finally come to her senses, and then I didn’t think much… She choked when she drank the chicken soup and coughed all over her body. I was about t
