The trauma from the swamp made Violet unable to move. She rose out of the water, but stood where she was. Someone threw a banana peel at her head. More followed the first one. It hurt. Some children were throwing things at her nonstop. “You…” Violet glared at them, but felt dizzy from all the th
Violet felt even worse. She said nothing and just continued crying. He gave her a mocking sneer. “You poisoned their produce and ruined Imperial Palace’s reputation. The fruit farmers couldn’t sell their produce anymore. You should have known they would want revenge for that. They’re already being
But her shame could not compare to what she felt because of Patrick’s words. She had thought that Belle was playing tricks to make it seem that Patrick had disowned her, but it was clear now—Patrick had really disowned her. Once they returned to Imperial Palace, the bikini lady walked over and seem
Violet was brought into the living hall. A doctor came in and dressed her wound. Since the bikini lady had stepped on the back of her hand, it was swollen badly, and since it had been wounded before, it looked terrible. Lucius asked the doctor to wrap it up tightly.His gaze was cold and profound. V
She finally understood Lucius’s purpose for bringing her here: it was to make her suffer again. His ultimate goal was to torment her and make her life a living hell. With a lazy air, he shut the laptop and looked at her coldly. Even though he was sitting, he looked regal, relaxed, and imposing. “
“There’s no need for that.” Violet looked at the needle. “Even if he puts it in, I’ll just pull it out.”Which she did. Lucius’s expression changed. “Set it up again.”In the end, Violet’s hand became a bloody mess, and there was no more room to insert the needle. “Tie her up!”A few men came in a
Violet did not want to be torn apart by starving dogs, so she forced herself to eat some porridge and let the doctor administer an IV drip. Honestly, she had not been sleeping well over the past few days, and her eyelids felt like they were made of lead. Soon, she fell asleep. While she was dozing
“Let my daughter go! Please!”The woman shielded Violet behind her and pleaded with Lucius.Why was she begging for mercy on Violet’s behalf?Violet was confused.They were soon surrounded by dogs. The woman lifted her stick and swung it at the dogs. She was not worried about herself whatsoever and
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
