She approached Lucius, informing him, "I'll wait for you outside."Lucius appeared not to hear her, continuing his dance with Megan as if Violet were invisible.Casting one last look at his injured hand, Violet quietly left the room.The door to the private room closed behind her. She stood there, a
Violet mused that had Oliver expressed these feelings earlier, she might have been profoundly touched. However, her heart had gradually moved its affection for Oliver to someone else.Past actions were irreversible, especially the pain he had caused her.Exhausted, she no longer had the desire to co
Lucius raised an eyebrow and asked, "Don't you know how to knock?"Disregarding the formalities, George announced urgently, "There's trouble! Ms. Violet has passed out."A rush of wind appeared to pass by George, pushing him out of the way.By the time George regained his balance, Lucius had vanishe
Lucius reprimanded in a biting tone, "Have you forgotten my rules? Who allowed you to disturb me while I'm working?"His eyes betrayed a fleeting hint of emotion.George silently suppressed a smile. He bowed his head, and left the room silently.In the following days, Violet persisted in bringing fo
The initial 'W' struck Lucius deeply, resonating in his mind like a sharp nail. His surroundings appeared to blur and shimmer as he fixed on this detail.He rose from the seat and examined the shirt intently, as if he were about to bore a hole in it.George delicately unfolded it.It was a white shi
The pool was vast, covering several hundred square meters. The size resembled a miniature lake. The water was stirred by pumps and was in constant motion, and the depth was around three to four meters.The bracelet was very light. It disappeared into the pool as soon as it was thrown in.Only famili
As she turned around, she caught sight of Lucius on the balcony.It was evident—he had been there all along. He leaned on the railing and observed her every move, just like a hunter does with his prey. He was aware of her every motion, including her clumsy dash and her bare body.Embarrassed, Violet
Violet was caught off guard by Lucius's sudden bite. She let out a muffled cry.The pain was so intense, it felt as if a layer had been torn from her lips. It brought tears to her eyes as she gazed at him with a wounded stare.He warned sternly, "If you recklessly jump into the water again, expect a
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
