Violet observed this exchange, stunned. Was she just sold off like this? She noticed a flicker of hope in Lucius's stern expression, recognizing that he was only attempting to satisfy Regina."Now, go downstairs for dinner, both of you. Eat well. Vivi, you don't need to look after me tonight. Instea
That morning, Violet woke up early. In the hallway, she saw George overseeing the servants.Upon noticing her, George respectfully informed her, "Ms. Agatha, you're no longer required to work in the garden starting today."Violet, with a simple "Oh," assumed that Lucius had decided she should instea
"I'll inform Grandma of all this," she threatened. "I'll see if she allows such a heinous act."Lucius's expression contorted slightly—a mix of anger and challenge. "You wouldn't dare.""Why not?" she retorted, beyond the point of fear.He grabbed her throat, his fingers constricting."What? Are you
"Remove her from here!" Lucius finally commanded, his voice low, not glancing at Violet but directing his words to George. "Take her down to the cellar!"Violet found herself being cast into the cellar, where the temperature plunged well below freezing.The chilling conditions brought back memorie
For both of them, the doctor's verdict was a death sentence.Violet was disappointed when she realized that her departure had been postponed indefinitely.Lately, the conflicting emotions of abandoning a child and her eagerness to leave have been weighing heavily on her.Lucius exited the room witho
"Alright, you can go now," Regina said, finally allowing the two to leave.She lazily motioned for the nurse to cover her with a blanket, signaling her readiness to sleep.Violet and Lucius left the room, one after the other."Why am I feeling so warm?"Observing Lucius' sweat-beaded forehead confir
"Shall I ask Ms. Agatha to come inside?"George was ready to take a step forward when Lucius stopped him. "Let her be!"Assuming she enjoyed the sunlight, he decided she should have more of it. He sped up, not looking in that direction again.To prevent Regina from discovering the woman, Lucius had
By the time Lucius was done, Violet's body was soft and limp.Lucius licked his lips blissfully, understanding that this was the taste he had been yearning for.This was amazing, he thought. He saw this as a perfect chance to gratify himself while also impregnating her, with the intention that he co
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
