"Are you in love with me?"This sudden query left Violet choking on her saliva, too taken aback to reply.Lucius, observing her face redden from the choking, approached to pat her back. His approach was anything but gentle, rather rough, making her cough to near suffocation."Lucius, please don't ma
"Violet, the choice is yours—to stay or to leave. Should you stay, you'll be mine. If you leave, I'll ensure you're compensated."Violet, caught in a whirlwind of thoughts, gazed back at him.Deep down, the idea of being his wasn't entirely unappealing; she had grown used to his presence, his asser
Emily's malice infuriated Violet, who didn't want to continue the conversation. However, her words were too offensive to ignore."Emily, remember. When you curse others, you might just invite misfortune upon yourself. Imagine if I told Oliver that it was me, not you, who was there for him, singing a
Naomi responded with a nod, her eyes glistening with tears, unable to utter a word."Do you also live in this city?" Violet, aware of Naomi's departure, had not expected to find her in the same city."Yes," confirmed Naomi, her voice soft."What a lucky coincidence to run into you here," Violet excl
"Violet should attend our engagement because it is a big deal," Oliver stated, breaking his silence.His white suit lent him an air of refined elegance."What if she refuses to come?" Emily said, feigning a sweet demeanor. "I sincerely wish she’d come. Regardless, she is my only sibling. I'm still
He then sternly reminded the servant, "We shouldn't casually link everything to Ms. Violet. And remember, more work, less talk."The servant, covering his mouth, walked away.George sighed, reminiscing about Violet's presence; she dared to confront Lucius and spoke up for the oppressed, voiceless st
Lucius unexpectedly ran into someone who seemed surprised by his early departure."Are you leaving already?" the stranger asked. "Who might you be?" Lucius asked coldly.He was struck by a sense of familiarity in the man's eyes, usually a detail he would overlook in people he deemed unimportant."H
When Emily had previously shared news of her engagement to Oliver, basking in her own joy, Violet felt nothing more than heartache and sorrow.Yet, at this moment, her emotions were indescribable, as if the very essence of her being had shattered. Each part of her dissolving into nothingness, vanish
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
