Lucius walked in and removed his shirt, which revealed all of his upper body. Violet could tell that he worked out to take care of his body. When he saw her, he narrowed his eyes and threw his shirt on the bed. “You’re sleeping in the guest room from today onwards!”Thinking that she was hearing th
“Thank you.” George was grateful but also puzzled. “Why did you suddenly change your mind?”She had not been willing to cook for Lucius before. Violet smiled at him. “Didn’t I just say that since I’m Agatha River, I’ll make up for my mistakes? Cooking is one of the ways I’ll make it up to him.”She
Realizing that things were about to go south, the other people in the kitchen left. Violet rubbed the back of her head and slowly shimmied away. She wanted to leave as well. But Lucius grabbed her arm and yanked her over. Nervous, Violet looked at him, and her heart leapt to her throat again. Did
Violet walked past them softly. When she opened the door, she did it cautiously. Since she was paying attention to her own movements, she did not notice that Lucius was looking at her coldly. “Lucius…” His new flame murmured. She spoke slowly, and it sounded really seductive, but Lucius was not in
All he had was a handsome face. Why were so many women hell-bent on becoming his lover?Everyone left. Violet silently took out the number of pills prescribed and gave them to Lucius. “Take your medicine.”Lucius opened his eyes. He took the medicine without a word and swallowed it. Then, he drank s
He did not hold back his criticism, so Violet could tell that something was off. “It’s because of me again?” George could only be referring to Agatha River. “When you left, you created huge trouble for Master Lucius. Plenty of people hated him and wanted to take revenge on him. After you left, Mas
Violet's heart pounded with fear as she confronted Lucius.How could she work up the courage to confront him like that, she wondered?Despite feeling empathy for his circumstances, she saw no reason to risk her life by entering the lion's den. On the other hand, retreating wasn’t her style.Determin
"Bulls…"Violet's mind flashed back to the terrifying dogs that had almost attacked her. She broke out into a cold sweat, and her complexion turned pale."No!" she exclaimed in panic, gripping his wrist tightly.His arms, positioned on either side of her, were tense and strong."I'm sorry," Violet q
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
