“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
“Sorry…” she said hoarsely, “To have frightened you. I’ll leave now…”With that said, she stretched out her hand to open the car door and walked in the wind and snow.“Everly!” Austin finally realized it. The woman in front of him, who was so skinny and looked like a ghost, turned out to be Everly Pettis!He immediately opened the door and got out of the car. He wanted to say something, but he felt as if something was stuck in his throat and he could not get a word out.He watched Everly stumbling and struggling in the snow, desperately leaving the place. The wind and snow were so harsh that she even tripped and fell several times. He wanted to say something, but before he could do so, she had already crawled up and made her way through, disappearing in the corner.Austin’s heart was beating very fast. He felt his body trembling slightly as if he was beating a drum, but he knew that it was not because of the cold.The Baxter family was very influential in Cannesville. Carson was
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. In the end, Carson could not catch up with Everly. He stood in the snow and the butler hurried over.“Sir, I’ve already contacted the people. They will check the surveillance camera to find out where Miss Pettis is hiding. It’s too cold outside. You should go back first,” the butler said worriedly.Carson did not move, nor did he look at the butler behind him. He watched the footprints of Everly disappearing in the falling snow, and clenched his fists tightly.…In the hospital.Everly carefully wrapped her body in a black cotton coat so that no one could see the wound on her neck. She then walked in with her head hanging low.It had been several days since she sent Granny Preston to the hospital. She wondered if Granny Preston had already woken up and if she was still in the hospital.She pushed the door of the ward open, and when she saw that Granny Preston was lying soundly on the bed, she let out a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Grann
Everly lowered her head and walked on the road covered in thick snow. The white snow fell on her black hair, piece by piece, seemingly to dye all her black hair white.She went to apply for a job from one place to another, asking and pleading along the way. However, nobody dared to accept her, just as before. Even when she walked into the disorderly house, all she got was ruthless humiliation.“Just look at yourself, you looked horrible! Do you really think anyone can just open their legs and get money? You look at our girls. They don’t only demand good-looking ones, but also those who know how to have fun. Customers here are no ordinary people, and the likes of you…” The staff member looked at her disgustingly. The disdain in her eyes was obvious.“You’ll only be despised even if you pay money for it!”She was cast out instantly. After she stood up, she immediately saw the bodyguards coming over.She turned around and fled.She hid in the bushes, and her body was covered with sn
The voice of Carson talking over the corner was still resonating intermittently, but Everly had already turned away and left. She disappeared in the windy snow with her head lowered.She would never forget everything that had happened over the years, nor would she forget Bonnie, who died for her. Also, Granny Preston who was still bedridden in the hospital.She could no longer look back.The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the whole city seemed to be frozen.Everly lowered her head and walked across the cold street. Along the street, silence and noise interchanged as people passed by her. She seemed to be only a passerby in this world, only making a fleeting stay and leaving no trace behind.She asked one store after another, and no one wanted to hire her.Moreover… Carson’s people were still stopping her constantly.It was so cold that her joints were frozen hard. The breath she exhaled made her freeze, and the coldness was bone-chilling.When passing by a 24-hour co
