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
"The car won't start, what should we do?""I'll take a look," Oliver said, casting a meaningful glance at Violet before he walked away with the keys.Emily was visibly upset and gazed resentfully at Violet. "What are you trying to do?"Violet thought the scenario amusing, and retorted, "What could I
Belle nodded gently, saying, "I was told by the man who delivered her to the auction house that she was sold for ten billion.""Ten billion!" Emily exclaimed.She pondered in disbelief, thinking about the enormity of ten billion. Even her family, who ran a company, couldn't amass such wealth in a li
Violet felt devastated, engulfed in a deep sadness.Then, her phone unexpectedly rang. She glanced at it, half-expecting Lucius, but saw Oliver's name instead.Knowing Oliver's call wouldn't bring good news, she decided not to answer.Oliver didn't call again. Instead, a different number appeared.V
"Mind dropping your act?" Violet asked sharply, her tone dripping with disdain. "You're overdoing it."Emily's face morphed into one of sorrow as her eyes quickly filled with tears."I never intended any harm... I don't want us to be at odds," she pleaded."Losing your voice isn't a major issue. Man
Violet calmed down after crying for a long time. Still in his embrace, she spoke up, "I liked him once, but I never pursued him."Lucius felt a twinge of unease at her confession. He became concerned by Violet's obsession with that man."Why are you here so often? Aren’t you busy? Do you know my bos
As George walked in, he was utterly speechless at the scene before him.His employer was...applying ice to someone's face! Could the world turn upside down? Was the Third World War underway? Opting not to disturb them, he discreetly exited the room.Lucius's adeptness made Violet aware that this man
Violet recalled Estelle's demeanor from the previous day, and suspected she might soon have to leave her job.She acknowledged that her straightforwardness and inability to be diplomatic were to blame. If only she had played along with Emily's charade, perhaps none of this would have occurred.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
