”I’m screwed!”That was the only thing she could think of, and she closed her eyes instinctively. She did not fall to the ground and bleed all over like she had expected to. As she braced for the worst, someone caught her wrist, and her body hung in mid-air. She felt as though all air had been kno
The competition was called “Find the Voice.” It was very influential and had been held successfully multiple times. Each time, it lasted for several months, and the media covered it extensively.She tried to look it up using the laptop on the table, but the connection was lost after she typed just a
Lucius did not give her the chance to fight back. He picked her up with ease, flipped her around, and pinned her against the bed. The pain increased, and Violet could only clench the bedsheets in order to reduce the pain. Meanwhile, Oliver remained smiling happily in the newspaper on the floor. Wo
Violet listlessly pulled the weeds in the garden. Her originally pretty face was getting thinner from the torment she suffered. Thankfully, she was not the type to tan. Even if she was exposed to the weather, she remained fair. The only problem was that she did get sunburned, and it hurt. While Vio
He then walked out without a glance back. Violet stared at the clothes in her hands and then at his back. She could not figure out what he meant by this. Even though she did not want to wear the clothes he gave her, she could not go out naked. She had to put on the clothes he gave her. It was a se
When they returned to the mansion, the sun was already out. Thanks to Lucius, Violet had spent an entire day without food or sleep. Starving, she decided to get some food into her stomach before anything else. Violet entered the kitchen for the first-time. It was stupidly big and could compete with
“More.”Lucius acted more like a spoiled brat at that moment than the impressive owner of Imperial Enterprises. Violet thought. “I should have poisoned the noodles before coming in. I would give up anything to kill this b*stard.”Suddenly, she felt an arm around her waist, and, before she could reg
In less than ten minutes, George charged into the kitchen. “What happened? Master Lucius threw all the food away!”When Violet hurried to the study, she saw the floor littered with broken porcelain and food. The place stank with the smell of food. The bikini lady stood at the entrance while tremblin
Lucius simply nodded, glancing at the papers on his desk but not bothering to touch them. "Take those away and get the procedures done as fast as possible," he instructed."Sure thing, Master Lucius," Hector responded, collecting the papers. He hesitated for a moment before speaking up again. "Oh
"Is the child Lucius's?""Of course."Agatha didn't know how she managed to leave the building; she only felt a chill running through her body. When she said those words, she had no idea Violet was pregnant. What had she been trying to accomplish with her actions? Even she couldn't figure it out.
When they hopped into the car, it took Violet a while to compose herself. She gently pulled away from Oliver's grasp and said, "I'm okay now. Let me go.""How are you okay? I saw you in that accident; I can't just ignore it," Oliver retorted, his tone softening despite his frustration. He didn't wa
She couldn’t put aside her own feelings, but she had to think about the baby's health.Oliver managed a strained smile. He couldn't express what he wanted to say, so he simply helped her out of the hospital.Back at home, Violet ushered him toward the door, saying, "I'm back home now. You should go
"Master Lucius," whispered the assistant as he leaned in close to Lucius's ear.His voice was barely audible to anyone else, but Sarah watched as Lucius clenched his glass so tightly that it seemed like it might shatter.Lucius didn't say a word. After the assistant left, everything returned to norm
However, Sarah didn't seem in a hurry to leave. She maintained her smile and offered, "Is there something you need from Lucius? I can pass on the message to you."Her seemingly polite offer was clearly a jab at Violet.Violet's expression turned cold. She retorted, "Thank you, Ms. Meyer. But Lucius
Violet cried in Patrick's embrace, but she couldn't bring herself to tell him what had happened.Patrick didn’t push her, worried that she might feel worse. He left after making her a promise to reach out if she needed anything.Violet agreed, but she knew she should rely on Patrick less.After fini
The glass he held shattered due to his rage.Sarah leisurely sipped her wine, her eyes carrying a profound meaning. Lucius used her to provoke Violet, which was despicable, but she found solace in that woman's words.Swoosh! Lucius stood up abruptly."Master Lucius," a subordinate rushed into the ro
"Dad, don't worry. I'm okay," Violet reassured Patrick with a faint smile.Patrick noticed her weak smile. He wanted to ask more, but Violet quickly cut off the conversation, saying she had work to do."Okay." Patrick nodded reluctantly, deciding not to pry further. "Astrid mentioned you haven't bee
