Violet and Lucius sat opposite each other, with Violet maintaining a neutral expression and staying quiet."What did you do today? Anything special?" Lucius asked."Just the usual," she responded gently.He did not press further, and the dinner progressed in a somewhat somber fashion.Post-dinner, h
Violet felt unable to decline and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, but I may have study commitments.""Don't worry, I'll make sure it doesn't interfere with your studies. We can schedule around your classes," Oliver reassured her.Violet accepted her card back, compromising, "Alright, I'll consider helpin
Spreading her palm toward him, Violet demanded directly, "Give me back my phone."Lucius raised his head, briefly studying her palm before leaning down. Unexpectedly, his lips coolly touched her palm.She recoiled as if the touch scorched her skin. Her cheeks flushed red.Lucius had kissed her palm.

"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

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
