Violet's eyes widened, her mind racing with disbelief.She screamed in her head. What did he say? That she was his woman?Violet opened her mouth multiple times, struggling with the question of what their relationship really meant.Was it a spur-of-the-moment thing, or did he have true feelings and
This man was the embodiment of charm and power for Emily. His presence exuded a commanding allure that contrasted sharply with Oliver's soft elegance.A man like Lucius would definitely command respect, especially given his ties to the formidable Imperial Enterprises.Violet's good fortune in attrac
At that precise moment, Oliver emerged from the building. He saw the situation, and rushed to Emily's rescue. His eyes conveyed confusion when he glanced at Lucius.Lucius grinned casually. His eyes were void of emotion, but he made no move to walk away.Emily pretended to be unwell."I feel awful.
Howard was used to carrying himself with such arrogance, but he was humbling himself for someone.This scene was so harmonious. The man in front of her lacked his customary aura of authority and power. He was an average man, profoundly in love with his wife.He then carefully adjusted Regina's skirt
"I never thought I'd leave him in our later years. We wouldn't have divorced if he hadn't abandoned Lucius. He was our only hope."Regina paused, realizing that certain things couldn't be redone.Howard had been so firm back then. As a grandmother, she was unable to bear seeing her grandchild abando
The manager harshly reprimanded Violet in the hallway."Do you realize how important this project is to our company? Do you understand the prestige of being picked to design a renowned artist's studio? You shouldn't claim you can't design it. You should say you can, and that you'd devote your life t
Emily called out to Oliver with a voice full of grievance, her eyes glistening as she looked at him desperately."Emily, don't do this in the future. I saw everything," Oliver murmured softly to her as he glanced at her gently. "Vivi didn’t shove you."Emily’s expression changed in a split second. S
"W-What are you doing?" Violet asked, her voice shaking.Lucius lifted her into his embrace, reprimanding, "Were you planning to just sit here? Don't you want to get your injured foot treated?"He strode out, carrying her to his understated yet luxurious car parked outside.The driver promptly opene
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
