Violet didn't answer the phone, and hastily put it on silent mode.Her internal line rang shortly after, and she unplugged it."Vivi, your phone," Estelle said as she passed by. "It's a call from Ursa on the 25th floor.""Oh, I see." Violet couldn't tell if it was Ursa on the phone. When she caught
Lucius scowled and complained, "I don't like sweet things.""Then I'll...""Lick them off.""What?"She had intended to say she would take the eggs home to prevent wasting them, but she hadn't anticipated such an order. She stood there bewildered, unable to bring herself to lick the smiley faces."Y
It was Lucius. Seeing him startled Violet.She stared at him as though he were a stranger. Then, her eyes shifted to a figure covered in blankets on the wheeled bed. A woman, hidden from view by George, crawled to the bedside and wept uncontrollably.Realizing it wasn't Lucius, Violet's overwhelming
Was he in a lot of discomfort from the previous bump? Violet found it difficult to believe.Before she could speak up, the elevator doors opened.The nurse began to move the wheelchair out, with Lucius still firmly holding onto Violet's wrist."I won't leave," she reassured, attempting to free her h
Violet's lips were soft, tender, and sweet. The sensation left Lucius visibly pleased. He licked his lips as though he had just indulged in the taste of honey.Startled by his bold move, Violet felt a burst of electricity spark at the touch of their lips.Her body shivered as a result of the sensati
That command came as a shock. Violet choked on her food. Coughing uncontrollably, she reached for a glass of water in a flustered state.With a look of disdain, Lucian passed his own glass, which he had just used, to her.Violet was initially hesitant to accept it. Lucius held the glass to her lips,
Patrick remained calm, simply acknowledging with a soft "Hmm." He didn’t show any particular reaction."Now that you're both here, let's work together. You two need to start learning. The future of the company depends on you two."In the past, Patrick never suggested that Violet would have a role in
People were entering and departing within the venue. Patrick met a few acquaintances, and introduced Violet to them politely."Ms. Wickham looks stunning."Violet received several compliments along the way, each tinged with surprise.Most people presumably assumed the Wickhams only had Emily, and we
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
