She thought of her own mother. If Astrid was around, she would most likely protect and care for her in the same way that Belle did for Emily, particularly during difficult times.Belle shot Violet a stern look before leading Emily away.Emily was fragile and powerless to protest as her mother led he
Lucius's encouraging gaze never left Violet as she delivered her presentation. His gaze was filled with unmistakable trust.Violet couldn't believe she had done it. Usually not known for her eloquence, she found herself exceeding her own expectations. She even went off-script and even made logical
When Violet saw this, her mood brightened. Her fingers twitched uncomfortably in her palm, and her heart was beating rapidly for reasons she couldn't quite understand.Lucius escorted Violet into his private room in Palazzo.It was a room that was equipped with all the necessary amenities, ready to
Still recovering from the unexpected interruption, Violet managed only a strained smile. Her face was still burning from her shyness.The room buzzed with energy as everyone warmly greeted Lucius before finding their places to sit.The atmosphere, however, was somewhat tense and awkward. Everyone ap
Lucius had delved into Violet's past, so he knew that she had abandoned her singing career to follow in Oliver's footsteps as a painter. He was also aware of her year-long commitment to singing for Oliver during his coma.These revelations had all been uncovered by George, who was thorough in his in
"I'm sorry, but I need to rejoin my colleagues," she stated, not wishing to remain alone with Oliver any longer, and promptly excused herself.Violet's unexpected departure deeply saddened Oliver, but he didn't pursue her.Instead, he called out softly, "Do you have a favorite singer? I can set up a
Violet had been up all night, just not with Lucius.Forcing a smile, she replied, "You've got to be joking. My relationship with him is purely professional, like any other employer and employee."Estelle retorted, "Hey! Don't you try to fool me!"Violet's explanation did not convince anyone.Feeling
Naomi had called several times, persistently persuading her to return home.Exhausted and with a pounding headache, Violet decided to briefly rest her head on her desk.To her surprise, she later woke up in her bed at home. She had only planned a short rest at her desk, yet somehow she ended up back
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
