"Mr. Baxter, have a look…" After a long silence, Mr. Williams looked at Carson too.However, Carson had his gaze on the documents on the table. He was silently looking at the side profile photo of the woman called Violet. No one dared to let out any sound. Carson rarely had any moments of hesitation. Usually, he would be able to make a firm decision in the quickest time possible. Hesitation had never happened before.All the managers in the meeting room looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.When Robbie saw Carson's expression, he immediately told the other managers, "Let's talk about this another day. We'll head on to the next item on the agenda.""Yes!""Regarding the shopping mall in the city…" Someone immediately started another topic, yet Carson's gaze remained on the photo. No one knew what he was thinking.Time passed minute by minute. On the other side at Violet's Studio, Everly stood against the floor-length window as if she was waiting for s
He knew this tactic, to attract attention and achieved a certain goal from it.Women like these have appeared in his life before. They intentionally undergo cosmetic surgery so that they look like Everly. They used strange coincidences to appear in front of him and Oliver, trying to gain benefit from it.In the end, they hurt Oliver just because they don't like him! Carson detested this bitterly! Richard and the others were still laughing and joking around. Occasionally, news about Violet could be heard. Carson furrowed his brows a little. He stood up and left the private room.Carson was feeling strangely annoyed. He walked across the noisy corridors to a balcony on the side. The cold night wind blew across. He looked at the view in silence.A year has passed, nothing in Cannesville seemed to have changed. Even his life has not changed, too, other than the fact that he no longer had her.The image of her eyes looking back at him a year ago appeared on his mind once more. His he
The supervisor looked at it immediately. Then, she said awkwardly, "Mr. Baxter, isn't this Ms. Pettis? I would still be able to recognize Ms. Pettis. Also, Ms. Pettis is already…"The supervisor stopped talking, but it was clear what she meant.Everly Pettis was already dead.Even though many in the city might not know about that, people like them, whose work was to serve important people, need to know the people they serve. Carson was on the top of the social pyramid in the city. They had to be even more cautious.Thus, she knew about Everly.It was also a year ago when the piece of shocking news came out that they realized all these years, the person to Carson's heart was not Layla White but Everly Pettis.However, Everly was already dead…Carson brought up Everly's child, Oliver. From then onward, he no longer had any woman by his side.The supervisor saw Carson furrowing his brows. She immediately changed the topic, "But I do think that this woman does look a little like Ms
"I heard that Violet is going to announce her chosen collaborator at the Roundabout Showroom at ten today," Robbie immediately said. He lowered his head to look at his watch and immediately said, "It's almost fifteen to ten, she… Mr. Baxter?"Before Robbie could finish his sentence, Carson has already left.The Bendley was speeding on the road, his surroundings blending, yet there was only calmness in his eyes.Screech!The Bendley stopped outside the showroom. The arshers waiting outside immediately approached him."Mr. Baxter!" They bowed respectfully. Even if countless other important people were there that day, they ignored them all. They walked directly toward Carson.Carson had not said anything. He only passed the keys to them before striding into the showroom.The showroom has been decorated for a small gala event. It was not as serious as a meeting. Many were here. Other than the group of people surrounding in the middle, the others were chatting in twos or threes."
Carson had not known how to react at that moment. He stood in the same spot, pursed his lips hard, and looked at her. There was helplessness in his reddened eyes."Violet, are you alright?" John immediately took a step forward and stood between her and Carson. He looked at Carson with precaution."I'm fine," Violet replied. Then, she gently pulled John to the side to face Carson."Mr. Carson Baxter of Cannesville's Baxter Group. I never thought that you would be such an inappropriate person. I wonder what you were planning to do just now?"They were the center of attention in the showroom. Violet was already enough to attract all the attention, including John Logan. It was even more enticing. At that moment, with the addition of Carson, it was shocking! Instantly, everyone there widened their eyes and perked their ears up, looking over at them carefully.After all, everyone knew that Carson Baxter never attended events like these! Usually, besides his company or gatherings of fr
John was stunned too, but he came to his senses immediately. He furrowed his brows and stood in front of Violet once again. He looked at Carson and said, "Mr. Baxter, your actions are too inappropriate. The person in front of you right now is Violet, not your dead lover Everly!"John snickered and mocked, "I've never met you before, Mr. Baxter, but I didn't know that you're the type who would constantly talk about your dead wife. Oh, wait, Everly is not your wife!"The people by the side gasped. Everyone looked at the current situation with widened eyes. Some even wanted to pacify the situation, but they could not find any words to soothe the situation at that moment. Everyone was anxious.John continued, "Everyone is here today because they want to collaborate with Violet. I have heard rumors that you had once said that Violet is nothing but an unknown artist. There is no need to collaborate with her. Then, why are you here today, Mr. Baxter?"What are you trying to do in mentioni
Unconditionally!Goodness! Everyone was baffled.Violet offended Carson time after time. Everyone thought that she was finished, yet Carson kept giving in. What was going on!Everyone looked at Violet.Violet was slightly stunned. She seemed to have been taken aback by Carson's comments. However, she immediately collected her thoughts. She smiled and said, "That's great."He wanted to say something, but Violet had already turned to the side. "Annie."She remained a distance from Carson and said to Annie, "Mr. Baxter wants to partake in today's bid. Please take him through the procedure.""Yes!" Annie immediately said before turning to Carson and smiled politely. "Mr. Baxter, please."Carson had not moved. He pursed his lips tightly and looked at Everly. Everly only nodded and smiled lightly before walking away with John to the other side. It was as if he meant nothing to her! "Mr. Baxter?" Annie remained smiling.Carson retracted his gaze and released his clenched fists,
Knock! Knock! The knocks on the door pulled Everly back to reality."Violet, it's almost time." Annie's voice came from outside. They have agreed that Annie will call her Violet and not any other names in public."Hmm." Everly lifted her gaze a little. In the end, she looked at the woman in the mirror before turning around. She tidied herself, opened the door, and walked out.There were more and more people in the showroom. As the news of Carson and John in the showroom spread, nearing the time, more and more people rushed over. Even those who had nothing to do with that industry came over too. That was because if there were a millionth of a chance to get close to Carson, they would be rich in Cannesville!It was because of this, too, that was why everyone knew what had happened previously."Carson!"Richard initially only got his staff to come over, but he immediately came over when he heard the news.At that moment, he was sitting next to Carson. He asked confusedly, "I he
