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
Oliver, who had suddenly arrived, drowned out her voice.Violet's reaction to removing the bracelet appeared abrupt, as if she were startled by Oliver's speech.Lucius's expression immediately turned somber, and his mood grew bitter.Having approached them, Oliver gave a brief nod to Lucius before a
Violet's heart thumped violently under Lucius's firm grasp, a sharp pain in her chin reminding her of his presence.Deep down, she had already fallen for him. His words should have brought her joy.However, the possessiveness and chill in his gaze created an unexplainable unease in her. This was not
Lucius picked up the fork, but he did not touch his meal. Instead, he diligently piled more and more food onto Violet's plate, quickly creating a mound.Initially focused on her meal, Violet soon became aware of his actions. Curious, she raised her head and asked, “Aren't you going to eat?”He looke
Lucius spent the evening alone in the living room, savoring booze.The scenery he normally loathed suddenly appeared lovely in his eyes.After a maid poured him a drink, he unexpectedly said, "Thank you."This unexpected gesture nearly caused the maid to drop the glass. Her face flushed as she sneak
Violet chose to remain silent.With Lucius around, the atmosphere in the car was heavy with tension. Nobody spoke. It was so quiet that their heartbeats sounded audible.Violet's hand lingered on Lucius's, casually resting on his knee, as though it naturally belonged there. He absentmindedly toyed w
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
