"Oh my god! What kind of people have I been surrounded by?" Patrick muttered, heaving a deep sigh.His footsteps were leaden as he approached and retrieved the listening device concealed behind the sofa, where Belle and Emily sat.Both collapsed onto the sofa in shock when they saw the device in his
It was a question most would contemplate in such circumstances.Patrick responded with a sad smile, "I did consider it, and some even suggested a paternity test. But I never went through with it. You were already born, meant to be with me. I didn't want to cast a shadow over your life."His uncerta
The entire company was unaware of Emily and Belle's apologies to Violet, which occurred in an isolated meeting room. How did George find out about it?Violet's eyes widened, and her mouth gaped in surprise. Then she remembered Patrick saying that a man in his fifties had exposed the truth. Wasn't th
Lucius's face showed a flicker of discomfort.Even George could tell he cared about Violet. Why couldn't she tell?"Girls are often shy, especially the case with Ms. Violet. She's from a different background than you, and is proud. Even if you helped her, she might not interpret your help as romance
The Emily-planned plot rendered the design blueprints useless.Fortunately, Lucius discovered the truth. AKK Corporation didn’t use the designs submitted by the Oberlo Group, and permanently blacklisted them from future projects.This predicament provided an opportunity for their company, but it als
Violet's anger toward Emily seemed to fade at that point. She took a step nearer, softly touching Patrick's shoulder and calling out to him, "Dad."Patrick spun around. He was taken aback when he saw her. He swiftly put out his cigarette to hold her arm, and commended her, "You did well just now.""
Violet rushed to the hospital, where the driver met her at the entrance.Hesitatingly, he informed Violet, "Mr. Wickham didn't want to worry you, but his condition is critical, and he's been calling out for you in his sleep.""Thank you for telling me."Violet thanked the driver, and quickly entered
He had been so thrilled by Violet's call that he had hastily concluded a significant business meeting, leaving attendees in disbelief. Others could be startled to learn that he had given up such a huge deal for a woman.Violet was jolted back to reality. She indicated the materials she was preparing
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
