Both maids begged the butler."You know how much Master Lucius loves his grandmother. The last time she coughed on water, he almost threw me into the swamp! I wish to live longer.""Me too! I'll be blamed for not steadying Madam Davis when she wobbles while walking. Please, Mr. George!"George exhal
Violet thought she had misheard, but he had already stood and started walking ahead, prompting her to follow quickly. Her room was just a few steps away, hardly requiring any escort.Lucius opened the door for her when they arrived."Thank you," Violet said, yawning.Lucius lingered instead of depar
Regina warmly acknowledged the young woman in front of her, and said, "Your words resonate with me. To be honest, my grandson isn’t the easiest to interact with. His seriousness and intensity can be quite intimidating.""Yes, exactly." Violet nodded in agreement, relieved to find someone who underst
With these words, Lucius swiftly released her arm and walked away.Violet, rubbing her nose, was left confused by his stern warning and visible irritation.Her care for Regina had started as a necessity, but over time, she had developed a true affection for the old lady. It was beyond mere obligatio
Violet gradually relaxed. When she turned around, she confirmed that it was Lucius who had been holding her.Struggling to speak, she asked faintly, "G-Grandma, is she...?"Her voice trailed off, lacking strength.Lucius let go of her, and massaged his temples. He assured her, "Grandma's fine. She's
Violet quickly adjusted her position as soon as he sat down, as if to make room for him.Regina observed this exchange, and nodded in apparent approval.Aware that Lucius and Regina needed to converse privately, Violet discreetly left the room to afford them some space. She busied herself with clean
"How could that be?" Lucius flatly denied it.Regina challenged him, "I've been through it all; how could I have missed it? What do you have to hide?""Aside from you, no other woman in this world could have my affection!" Lucius's tone was firm and decisive.Meanwhile, Violet, who was tidying a sma
After a moment of hesitation, Violet picked up the jacket and quietly exited the room.Holding the jacket, she made her way to Lucius's room, telling herself she was merely returning it, and gently knocked on the door.After a prolonged silence, assuming Lucius wasn't there, she turned to leave.But
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
