The snow fell, and no one seemed to have noticed an ordinary black car parked by the road in the midst of the snowstorm.Inside the car, the man on the driver's seat glanced at Lisa, who was at the back, and asked gingerly, "Miss Lisa, what do we do now?"She had not answered once. Her eyes were fixated on the Masheruti that drove off to the distance. She clenched her fists so hard that her delicately manicured nails snapped.After leaking information about Carson's location, she immediately came over with help. She was going to wait until after Everly died before bringing her men in for a staged rescue. However...from the beginning till the end, Carson had not once exposed Everly to danger.The scene where he shielded Everly in his arms despite his injuries in the last few minutes had enraged Lisa to the point that she came close to drawing blood when she bit on her lips."What exactly is so great about Everly for him to do all that for her? I've even brought Oliver to him, and s
Through the gap of the opened door, she saw what was inside of the room.Everly lay on the bed, and Carson stood still by her bed like a statue while staring at her.Hatred had Lisa trembling. She was not supposed to be there out of caution, but she had just received a new piece of information.Everyone that were sent to kill the two earlier that day had all been sentenced to death, effective immediately. At the same time, the Baxters had made a public announcement to all families in Cannesville to boycott the Fergusons.Within a matter of hours, the Fergusons were barely standing. By the time the sun rose, there was a high chance that the Fergusons would crumble to the ground.All the influential families were flustered with all sorts of guesses. The explanation they received was that the Fergusons had crossed a line with Carson. However, Carson had encountered assassinations and abduction countless times before, and he had never acted so mercilessly. Even when Lisa's sister died
His change had provoked Lisa."What do you mean?" She stared at him as her voice became sharper. She pointed at the bed where Everly lied and said, "Don't tell me that you really did all that for her sake!"Carson remained silent but instead stared down at her condescendingly, his eyes narrowing."She tortured Oliver! She killed my sister! She is a heinous murderer!" Lisa took a step closer as her eyes reddened. "How could you? You promised that you would make it right by us. Is this how you do it?"Carson did not respond and frowned as he looked at Everly."Carson Baxter!" Unable to bear it any longer and shouted, "Answer me! I've had enough!"Her chest fluctuated as she pointed at Everly and yelled, "Ever since we received news that she broke out of prison, my parents have been waiting for you to bring justice to us; but all these days have passed, and what have you done? Do you know what my parents call me at home? They called me a traitor for helping someone who killed my own
What was he doing?Everly was supposed to remain in prison for ten years as a punishment for what she had done, but she refused to reflect upon herself and faked death to escape. He should have caught her and sent her back as soon as he noticed it...but he had not.Why had he not? What had she done to him?His decisiveness had turned into hesitation, to the point that he even thought of forgetting what had happened in the past as though that incident had never happened.How could he forget that she killed Layla? What had happened to him?He drove even faster, and the highway was filled with furious honking from other cars, but the only thing Carson heard was Lisa's voice confronting him."Is this all simply because she was once your sister?"His sister...He stepped on the brake abruptly, and the deafening screech of the car echoed throughout the area.He could not shake the images of what he dreamt of. What was Everly to him?...By the time Everly woke up, it was already a
Everly took a deep breath and walked into the hospital until she arrived at Granny Preston's room. She pushed the door open but did not see her anywhere.What?!Where was she?!Fear struck her, and the overwhelming fear had her heart throbbing. She rushed out anxiously and asked the people she saw on the way, "Do you know where the patient from this room is?""Not sure. You should ask the doctors." The family members of other patients looked at her cautiously.Coming to realization, Everly turned immediately and ran outside.Baam!She fell hard and the stitches of her wound came undone, sending sharp pain down her body. With no time to look at her wound, she crawled up and hurried to the nurse station.Just as she was about to say something, the nurse looked up and spotted her. "Hey! You are the family of the patient from bed number 3! Jesus, where have you been all this time? We couldn't reach you at all!"A horrible premonition overwhelmed Everly, and she began to panic. She
It seemed like she had returned to that day again. She kept pleading with a sore throat, but nothing could be done. The memory had overtaken her, choking her into madness. Molly had no idea what was going on… If she had not gone to jail, Bonnie Preston would not have lost her life for her! If she had made it clear to Molly at the beginning, she would not have been sick on a snowy day while waiting for her, and her condition would not get worse! If she had earned her money and stayed by Molly's side, it would not have come to this! It was because of her. Everything was because of her! She was thinking of other people even before she came here! She gave herself a hard slap. Sock! Sock! Sock! Her cheeks were red and swollen, blood dripping from her lips… She crouched outside the door of the emergency room, crying so hoarsely that people, who were coming and going, looked at her as if she was crazy. Some time passed, the emergency room door opened once again, and se
Later, The butler got the news that Miss Pettis had left the hospital and gone somewhere. He hurried over to tell Carson, but he ignored it. In the past, although he pretended not to care, he was still very concerned about Ms. Pettis! Was it because of that piece of information? That is not true? If he were not worried about Miss Pettis, why was he drinking alone here? He had worked here at the Baxter residence since he was young, and Carson had grown up under his care. This was the first time he had ever seen him look like this, what was going on? He really did not understand. As he was thinking, the butler's mobile phone suddenly vibrated. He glanced at Carson and then went to answer it. "Repeat it?" "Okay I got it, look after her." The butler hurried back to Carson's side and said, "Sir, word has come from the gatekeeper. Ms. Pettis is kneeling alone at the door, do you want to come and see her?" However, he had not answered. He just poured another glass of win
Everly did not want to figure out what he was thinking. She had no other choice. Just now, the hospital called; granny is getting worse and worse and needs to be operated on immediately… There was nothing more she could do. If she could have sold herself for money, she would have done so willingly, but she was not even qualified to be sold. All she could do was beg him. She crawled in front of his feet once more, grabbed his trousers once more, and said anxiously, "I really need the money urgently, can you lend me first…" He pushed her away and shouted, "Everly Pettis, who do you think you are! Saying a few words and asking me to give you money, who am I to you!" "Carson, Carson, I'm really in a rush!" She climbed up and cried as she flung herself over to hug his legs. "Please, please lend it to me, I'll pay it back! I will definitely give back to you…" "How would you pay it back!" He looked at her with red eyes, looking at her crying miserably, hatred rising in his heart.
