She averted her gaze, determined not to let her distress show, and feigned interest in the others.Her attention inadvertently drifted back to Emily and Oliver.Surprisingly, observing the sister she was not fond of was less painful than watching Lucius with someone else.Her focus on Oliver and Emi
Ursa advised, "Ms. Wickham, please return to the president's office. If Mr. Davis finishes his meeting and doesn't see you there, he'll be dissatisfied with me."Violet returned to the president's office, feeling as if she were being herded.She arrived to find the meeting still in progress, so she
Her trembling only fueled Lucius's rage. He yelled furiously, "Why didn't you let go of the bag? Isn't your life more important than a bag?"Violet's eyes reddened from his yelling. She thought that she was being unfairly blamed. Tears streamed down her face.She cried and yelled, "It's your fault.
Violet pondered to herself, slightly irritated. Is he criticizing my bloodied appearance? The way he put it...She bit her lower lip in response to Lucius's nasty description. Furthermore, she was wearing a skirt instead of pants."So scrawny!" His criticisms were relentless.His tone implied disin
After sorting her things, Violet waited for Naomi's arrival.Lucius emerged from his shower in a bathrobe, partially exposing his toned chest.Violet stood awkwardly, announcing, "I should leave now.""Where to?" he asked in displeasure as he dried his hair with a towel."I'm going home," she replie
Violet recognized Oliver's car among his other possessions, so its presence did not surprise her.She could not help but stop when Oliver exited the car and stood in front of her.Violet wore trousers today that disguised the wounds from the night before.Oliver could not discern the extent of her i
Upon opening the door, she found herself drawn to his figure.Then she could not help but remember his reaction from the night before. She found the scenario troubling.Regaining her composure, she queried, "What brings you here?"Lucius spun around. His profile was sharp and smooth."Why did you co
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
