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
She seemed to know a lot about the women around Lucius. Henry gave Megan a peculiar look, while Kristian's usually playful eyes narrowed slightly."If you've come to my house to discuss my personal affairs, then you can leave," Lucius stated, his demeanor cold and uninviting as he issued a blunt dis
When Patrick was mentioned, Violet's demeanor shifted a little. She couldn't forget how he had favored Belle over her.Naomi disclosed, "He's asking for you to come back."Violet scoffed cynically, questioning his sincerity. "Really? Does he actually have good intentions?"Her words might have been
With a scornful sneer, Belle accused, "You're a jinx! You've ripped our family apart. How can you even claim this as your home?""What did I do?" Violet challenged.She stood firm on her ground and puffed her chest in defiance. Violet had silently endured mistreatment for Patrick's sake for years,
Emily!" Belle cried out, rushing to her daughter's side as she fell to the ground.She angrily confronted Oliver, "How could you be so heartless? What wrong has Emily done?"Patrick interjected, "He's merely speaking the truth."His glare at Belle was colder than ever. He had tolerated many of Belle
The look in his profound eyes was so intense that they threatened to engulf her. She swallowed hard, and nearly lost her footing. Violet had no way out since he refused to let go until she buttoned up.Eventually, she accepted defeat and began obediently buttoning his shirt.Confronted with his musc
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
