"Those weren't my words, and I'm not sure how they got out. Perhaps Sydney pitied me for only working here and said too much. I'll make sure she stops," Emily claimed.Violet felt as if she had slipped into another universe, as Emily maintained her portrayal as a wronged and submissive girl."You do

The manager scanned the documents before sternly addressing Emily, "Can't you read? Even if you can't, you should be able to read the page numbers. See, these pages are all mismatched! Do you use your brain when you work?"Unlike Violet, Emily had been pampered by Belle since childhood. She was trea
Her expression was one of desperate pleading, her eyes imploring. She couldn't afford to jeopardize her hard-won job in this situation.Lucius's heart softened as he saw her despairing expression. He had planned to claim her immediately, but he was now willing to wait a little longer."Make sure you
Lucius's actions surprised Violet. She cried out in alarm, "What are you doing?"Silent and determined, he grasped her firmly. "What are you trying to do?"Ignoring her pleas, Lucius marched forward with long steps, straight for a special passage. He was seemingly indifferent to her protests.Fear e
He bellowed, "Everyone, get out!"The others were perplexed and hesitated to comply.Seeing Lucius's fiery gaze on her, Violet thought silently, what now?"Get out!"Everyone quickly left, including Violet, who fled in fear of his rising rage."Why are you leaving?" Lucius yanked her back. "Haven't
Violet lay motionless when she sensed his arousal. The night stretched on without further incident.Come morning, Violet woke alone in bed. Lucius had used her as a mattress the night before, but he was long gone.She rolled over, her body aching as if it were ready to fall apart. A testament to bei
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
