"I was just..." Violet attempted to start. She meant to convey how natural it was for a girl to feel shy about displaying affection openly.Lucius, on the other hand, had already stormed off and refused to listen to her.His abrupt departure made her feel completely defeated and powerless.Wrapping
Kristian arched his brows and fixed his eyes on her face, asking, "Your eyes look puffy. Has Lucius been giving you a hard time?""No," she barely managed to reply, her voice betraying a hint of distress.He clicked his fingers, his expression clearly conveying an "as I thought" attitude.In a playf
Violet chose not to ask Lucius for her scarf back, dedicating her whole day to her work with no time to reminisce or wallow in sadness. Her only focus was on advancing at work.During his visit, Lucius caused quite a scene in the office.Even Estelle, known for her calm demeanor, showed signs of exc
Kristian took her to The Palazzo.It was the city's most prominent club, a venue that combined leisure and entertainment. It ran under a rigorous VIP system. Only those at the very top of the social pyramid who were well-off and prominent visited it.Violet was familiar with The Palazzo from previou
Violet struggled weakly as she clumsily reached for her drink. She was adamant about drinking more, whimpering and crying softly as she did so.Clearly drunk and unaware of her behavior, she was completely oblivious to the amount of alcohol she had consumed.Scowling in frustration, Lucius's initial
Gently kissing away the tears on her cheeks, he clarified, "I never considered you trash. Those were just rage-filled words. I told you to leave because I was afraid I'd lose control and hurt you.""I don't buy it. Are you saying you would have killed me if I hadn't left?"Lucius, caught between amu
This thought persisted. Her clothes had not been entirely removed, but they were definitely a mess.Looking down, she observed one or two mysterious marks on her body yet felt no physical soreness.Touching her head, she could not draw any conclusions.It was not until she descended the stairs and e
Violet acknowledged with a simple "Oh," not asking why Oliver had chosen the inexperienced Emily to oversee the project.Deep down, she was overcome with despair.Didn't Oliver initially give me the design opportunity to keep a promise? Why did he decide to include Emily in the mix and complicate ma
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
