Patrick was stunned and infuriated at the notion. "Mr. Davis's lover?"The concept of such a casual relationship embarrassed and angered him."Is she so shameless? Mr. Davis's lover? Lucius has so many women! She's destroying the Wickhams' dignity by being one of his flings!""Dad, please don't spea
Violet was astonished, barely managing to speak. "You... Why are you here?"He walked into the room with great strides without giving her a second glance, as if she were a stranger to him. "I'm here to see Naomi.""Master Lucius," Naomi greeted, almost dropping her bowl in surprise upon hearing him.
Lucius, giving George a stern look, instructed, "Stay downstairs.""Well…" George, concerned, hesitated; However, he complied after a firm glance from Lucius, and led the guards away.Now alone with Lucius, Violet swallowed hard, feeling immense pressure from him.Lucius was oblivious of this. He wa
George cautiously inquired, "Master Lucius, why didn't you tell Ms. Violet that you went to see her?"Lucius responded with a dismissive snort, "Who said I went to see her?"His ambiguous responses perplexed George, who believed his employer ought to have been more forthright with Violet about his v
Violet, caught off guard by his outburst, was momentarily speechless.He pressed on, "Do you realize how much Emily cares for you? She always prioritizes you. And what have you done for her?""Did you come here to accuse me?"Violet regained her composure and responded coldly, even though she felt d
Lucius grappled with his emotions upon seeing Violet in tears after she shattered a cup.He realizes that her distress wasn’t about the broken cup but about Oliver, which disturbed him deeply. He wasn't such a moron as to overlook the underlying source of her anguish.Upon seeing Violet in tears for
Lucius looked on with disgust as she wiped her tears.He picked up a handkerchief off the ground and, without gentleness, yanked her hand away to start wiping her face. He didn't control his strength and rotated Violet's face from left to right, hurting her skin.Violet tried to stop him, but he qui
The meal arrived promptly. Violet handed Naomi the utensils, and began to eat with her head lowered.Lucius was sitting opposite her, staring at the food in front of him. He poked at it with his fork, but didn't actually eat anything.Although the restaurant's food was reasonably good, Lucius found
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
