Emily's complexion turned ashen. Her usual vibrancy was gone, leaving her looking utterly defeated.In a barely audible whisper, she murmured, "No..."Her voice was faint and hardly impactful.Emily was still vulnerable and in need of protection, but Oliver's protection was no longer hers. His decis
"Exactly."The trio who stood up to argue were the same ones who had demonized Violet in the restroom. Their statements were cutting and sarcastic, seemingly opposing Estelle, but their true target was Violet."Ms. Ruiz, you may be our superior, but not our direct boss. Do you really have the right
Lucius's public defense of Violet thrust her into the spotlight. It complicated their already tumultuous relationship and made her the center of attention in the company.On the other hand, his public support moved Violet greatly. Her heart beat erratically with indescribable emotions.Deciding to k
Nevertheless, she continued toward the mall.Aimlessly wandering, she was unsure of what to purchase.A salesperson approached her with a friendly demeanor, asking, "Are you looking for a gift for someone special?"The assistant had guessed her intentions as she wandered into the men's store.Violet
Lucius turned around and sneakily approached Violet from behind. He commented playfully, "Violet, you're unexpectedly daring and adventurous.""It's just...""I like it," he interjected.She was at a loss for words and could not dispute the clear evidence.Violet wanted to explain in detail, but Luc
Violet intended to retaliate at first, but when she heard that Oliver was in trouble, she decided to hold back. She asked, "What now?"Emily's shoulder was visibly shaking. She appeared more like the victim despite being the instigator, as she struggled to respond.With a sense of resignation, Viole
After many unanswered calls, Oliver accepted reality and ceased contacting Violet.During her evening routine, Violet touched her lips and reminisced about Lucius's long kiss. She felt her heart flutter uncontrollably.Opting not to wash her face with water, she wiped it gently with a wet towel, car
"Vivi," he called out fondly, urgently seeking her lips for a kiss.Violet turned her head, begging, "Oliver, please don't.""I know you still have feelings for me. I’m so happy. Can we start over?" he implored, expressing his emotions fervently.Violet broke free from his hold and straightened her
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
