Violet struggled to process the intimate setting before her.Without needing to see who had entered, Megan's displeased voice echoed, "Wasn't it made clear that interruptions are not welcomed?"Violet was curious about what the two were possibly planning that required such privacy.Her attention was
Violet awkwardly lowered her head. After all, discussing such topics with a man always felt weird.She reasoned, "It's probably because I've not been resting well lately, plus I... just had some iced wine.""Iced wine?" Lucius's voice sharpened with worry, and he reprimanded sternly, "You're even dr
Violet's jealousy appeared to delight Lucius. He answered, "Yes, I admit. With you like this, I’m tempted to do something to you despite your discomfort."He gestured with his chin, brushed against her lips, and subtly hinted at something.Violet was slow to interpret Lucius's hint, but as she did,
The conference room was filled to the brim with high-level executives who had been called in from across the globe the night before.Lucius's entry into the meeting room was marked by somber expressions. It was a clear sign to everyone familiar with him, particularly his secretary, that trouble was
Violet was met with surprised sighs and gasps. Her arrival was regarded as nothing less than a godsend to the exhausted executives. Many had missed their dinner the night before due to being summoned on short notice and traveling from abroad, leaving them famished.Lucius tightened his grasp on the
"I am not the type to take anything at face value."With a voice burdened by unspoken anguish and grief, Patrick said, "I still couldn't bring myself to believe it, even when there was solid proof of your mother's adultery years ago."He had deeply loved her and put his full trust in her, only to fe
Lucius's tension subsided as he let out a loud sigh of relief. He had been preparing for something considerably worse. Being relieved that her life wasn't in danger, he felt relief wash over him.He put his hand on her back in a reassuring way instead of making fun of her."You being his biological
Ursa lowered her head and grudgingly accepted the order. She was filled with bitterness and cursed Violet for always vying with her for assignments.She returned to the office, secretly hoping Violet was not there. Unfortunately, Ursa found her sitting at her desk, working on her task on the compute
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
