Violet's cheeks warmed even more, and her excuse fell flat. Trying to lessen the awkwardness, she moaned about the weight of the bags. "It's so heavy. Can you help?"Lucius simply pursed his lips.The same security detail that had shielded her earlier volunteered. "Ms. Violet, allow us."Holding on
"Love Rival!"The very mention caused Violet to sweat profusely. Lucius was obviously referring to Oliver as his love rival. This sparked mixed feelings, causing her to blush and look away.Patrick had left after seeing Lucius off, but Belle was still cleaning up.Trying to avoid a confrontation, V
Her frenzied scream gave the impression that she was the one being victimized.Violet sighed deeply, tired of the drama. She wondered if being right depended on who was louder."Please calm her down," Violet advised, going upstairs to avoid any further drama.Violet returned to her room and sat on h
Since Patrick had an open conversation with Violet, he no longer let his bitterness toward Astrid affect her."Enjoy your day at work," he told Violet warmly, patting her shoulder like a caring father would.Violet said, "Bye, Dad."This was a scene she had imagined countless times, and she found it
"Tired? What do you have to be tired of? You should be basking in joy, having snatched my Oliver and now aiming for my father. You're vile, Violet!"She accused Violet of everything, and distorted the truth.Fed up, Violet snapped, "Emily, go somewhere else if you want to act like a madwoman! Rememb
"Never."Belle was unyielding this time, not giving in to her daughter's wishes. She said firmly, "I've lined up a few suitable matches for you. They may not have Oliver's wealth, but they're legitimate heirs and are well-respected within their families. Take my advice, and go meet them!"That even
He appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye. Lucius moved his shoulder a little, and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"Violet's response was a soft murmur, her face warming with embarrassment. She was completely mesmerized and was staring at him right now.She instantly turned around and began wal
Violet raced after him for a few steps, but couldn't say anything. His departure cut off an explanation she was about to give. She had not worked things out for herself, let alone found a means to express them to him.Feeling defeated, Violet made her way back to the Wickham residence.Inside, she
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
