Carson stared into the hatred in her eyes and was at a loss of words for a moment.He had not understood her. The bony woman in front of him was no longer the little girl who had been following behind him all the time. Four years ago, she told him that she loved him and had killed someone else in the name of love. Now, she was fighting him for another man!An unprecedented feeling swept over him. He was uncomfortable and angry, making him almost lose control of his emotions. He could not control such emotions. He could only clamp his hand tightly around her neck and let the anger in him rage on."How long have you been with him? Have you been with him since you were released from prison?""And the money. You risked your life to get the money. Why did you give them all to him? Do you want to live such a miserable life? Does it have to be with him?""Tell me!"He tightened his grip on her neck and roared, which scared the butler in the front. She started trembling."Why did I give
There was a short moment of silence after the slap. Everly covered her face with her hand, and blood dripped from the corner of her mouth. She lowered her head, her long hair covering up the expression on her face.On the other hand, Carson's expression was as cold as ice. He clenched his fists, and the scabbed wound on his hand cracked again. Blood seeped through the gauze, crimson drops dripping down.The two people in the back seats were silent. The two of them had bloodshot eyes, but they had not said a word."Sir, Miss Everly...""Stop the car!" When the butler was about to say something, Everly barked at him in a hoarse voice."Miss Everly, this...""Let her go!" The butler was still thinking of what to say to refuse Everly, but then he heard a cold order from Carson.The butler still wanted to persuade them, but looking at the scene in the back seat, he finally decided to shut it and said yes. He then parked the car at the side of the road.Before the car stopped complet
Her heart was still aching. Her quarrel with him was still vivid in her mind, and she could still see his angry bloodshot eyes in front of her.Looking at the lights of thousands of families in the city, she thought of the one that had been extinguished in Molly's house. This was a huge city, but none of the lights lit here belonged to her. She was dazed all of a sudden.It seemed that the meaning of life had been lost all at once.Something swelled rapidly in her heart, almost breaking her. She could not bear it any longer and began to run. It seemed that as long as she kept moving, her existence would still be meaningful.She had not known how long she had been running until she was out of breath and her lungs were burning in pain.After all this was relieved, she looked up and found that this was the dock where she used to work.She had not dared to go back to Molly's house, nor did she dare to go to the hospital. She brought herself here.She understood.She still needed mo
"Everything has been done as you ordered. The photoshopped photos of Everly and a man were sent to Mr. Baxter's butler, which had not aroused suspicion."She sneered and tapped on the screen with her fingers painted with exquisite nail polish. Soon, a message was sent out."Continue the observation and perfect everything in the follow-up!"The other party replied with a simple, "Yes!".Lisa's eyes flashed coldly as she read the reply and the latest movements of Carson and Everly."Carson Baxter, you can only be mine! Anyone who stands in my way, don't even think about getting off scot-free!"…For a week in a row, everyone in the Baxter Corporation was trembling with fear.No one dared to speak loudly, fearing that they would be the unlucky ones that would get their president’s wrath, especially those that had to send documents to Carson's office. "No way! I don’t want to be the one to send the documents today!""Don't refuse. When it's our turn, we'll do it too!"The man w
He lowered his eyes and thought for a while. He then shook his head and said, "I have something on tonight."Lisa walked over and sat down in front of the desk. She smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? I've heard that you've been acting very strange these days. Since you stood us up that day, everyone in your company has been scared of you. I just saw the young lady who came to deliver your document. She looked so scared of you...""Let's go to relax together. You can’t stay like this all the time, all right?"Carson glanced at Lisa then he picked up another document. He did not say anything, but Lisa understood what he meant. He did not want to go."Brother Baxter...""Robbie." Carson had already called out to his secretary when she was about to continue."Okay, okay. Brother Baxter, don't call for anyone else, or I'll feel embarrassed. I'll go myself!" Lisa said with a forced smile. The smile on her face did not fade away until she was sure that she was completely out of si
"No!"She threw her hands in the air. She tried grabbing onto anything that came her way, no matter what it was.She finally grabbed onto a rope, but she was going down too fast and heavy. The rope was dragged all the way down with her on it.She fell into the river, and the river waters instantly went past her neck. She was also choking from the waves on the water surface. Fortunately, she held onto the rope and did not sink into the water completely.She tried to swim upstream, but the other end of the rope around her feet was the box of fish, which weighted half of her and needed to be loaded onto the truck. She was dragged deeper into the water, and she could not get out of the river."Help!" She screamed for help in a hoarse voice, but this was the dock at midnight, far away from the city or crowd. The workers had gone to rest, and she was the only worker left here. No matter how loud she screamed, she received no response.She kicked her legs hard, trying to break free from
He suddenly started his car again, made a huge drift. He turned around and drove to the dock.When Carson’s car stopped at the dock, he instantly opened the door and got out.Deep down in his heart, he wanted to look for her, but there was only a dim light left above the dock, a truck that had its shutters left open, and a ship swaying gently in the wind and waves.He stood there like a lonely island. He did not know why he suddenly felt scared.He had not been here since that day. On that day, he found that something seemed to have changed in his heart and something was about to break out. He had not dared to face it.He thought for a long time. He decided to come to see her today, but he did not see her. Where had she gone?Would she disappear from his world again? Just like she did the last time?"Everly!"He called her name, but the only response he got was his own echoes over and over again.There seemed to be no one here.His lips were pursed into a straight line, and t
It was until Everly choked and coughed out a mouthful of water.She looked at him in a daze and then proceeded to faint."Don't sleep now. I'll take you to the hospital."He picked her up and returned to his car. He turned the heat up to the maximum and took off her wet coat. He then started the car and rushed to the nearest hospital.Carson drove his car at its highest speed. The roars of the car engine could be heard on the road, and everything around it turned into drags of light and shadow as it zoomed past the place.He looked at her lying motionlessly on the passenger seat. His grip on the steering wheel increasingly tightened. No one noticed that a woman walked out of the dark corners of the dock after Carson left.The woman was wearing high heels and an exquisite fur coat. She stared at the shadows of Carson's car that was driving far away, and her delicate eyes were full of malice."Miss Lisa, it's not my fault. After sending everyone away, I set that woman up on the
