Violet was totally lost."Didn't you say I needed to go to Eswil because Mr. Stone called?"Ida shot back, "Are you trying to frame me, Mr. Wickham? If Mr. Stone needed something, he'd call you, not a secretary."Violet was speechless. She realized she was trapped in a scheme so perfectly set up, it
With a gentle smile, Patrick said, "This company was co-founded with your mother. When we divorced, she could have claimed half the shares, but she never did. Her only wish was for me to take care of you. For years, we've made money and enjoyed the fame that came with this firm. I've had my fair sha
"To the police station!" she replied, then pausing to explain something to the secretary.The secretary looked astonished and asked, "You already knew?""Knew what?""The police took Mrs. Wickham to the station. She's accused of slandering and harming someone. Is Ms. Wickham aware of who went to the
Patrick's face darkened with concern. His weakness caused his steps to falter.Violet quickly stepped forward to support him, as she turned to Emily. "Dad just got out of the hospital. No drama, please."Emily clamped her mouth shut, biting her lip, but her angry stare never left Violet.Yet, Emily'
George delivered the message upstairs as soon as lunch was ready.Violet sat at the dining table, brimming with anticipation and eager for Lucius to join her.George soon descended and conveyed that Lucius did not want lunch.A wave of disappointment washed over her, but Violet remained silent as sh
"Why haven't you visited me in the past few months?" he blurted out.Violet blinks her eyes with complain. "You said we were splitting up. How could I approach you shamelessly after that?"He went on to say, "Did you think I was serious about breaking up?"Violet remained silent, tears welling in he
Lucius's embrace was surprisingly warm.At this point, she couldn't bring herself to fight with him. She chose to cuddle peacefully in his arms. His remarks may have been harsh, but his idea did not seem too awful.The news about Emily swiftly reached Lucius. She hadn't attempted suicide but had gon
Caught in a daze, Violet realized she had been freed when she felt the oppressive weight lifted off her.She curled up in fear, uncertain about what to do next only to find herself cloaked with a jacket that still carried the warmth of its owner.The relentless sounds of battle and anguished screams
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
