Wishing he could disappear, Patrick stammered, "Well...""I'm not interested in your familial issues, but had I known your request to look after Vivi was a pretext to abandoning her, I would have never consented.""Oh, Mr. Davis, this is..." Patrick's face contorted with discomfort. "This has nothin
The unexpected proposal startled Violet. She rejected firmly, "No, not right now."She was only in her early twenties, and the idea of marriage felt too confining too soon. Especially with Lucius, who was undeniably a great catch, she believed they needed more time to build a solid foundation for th
"Don't you love your daughter beyond anything else? I just wanted to know who your genuine daughter was, so I arranged for a test," Lucius stated matter-of-factly."A test?"Holding the report, Patrick felt a sense of unease creeping over him. He asked, "Is this a test between me and Vivi? But we ne
Violet hesitated, unsure if she should approach Patrick, who had made it clear he wanted to sever ties with her. Standing at a distance, she grappled with conflicting emotions, neither getting closer nor walking away.Sensing her presence, Patrick turned toward her. His expression was clouded with
The door was brutally kicked open.Violet glanced up to see Emily storming in, her usual facade dropped, replaced by a fierce anger. Her eyes locked on Violet with a menacing glare as she approached."Miss, please leave," a receptionist bluntly intervened from behind, trying to guide her out.Ignori
"I've never bothered Oliver, regardless of your relationship status. If you accuse me again, I won't hold back!"Emily sensed a dangerous vibe in Violet's gaze."I have nothing to do with your parents' divorce. If you believe I am behind it, there is nothing I can do. But keep this in mind—if their
"Oh," was all Blake said in response."Don't get any ideas about my woman!" Lucius responded sharply, giving Blake an icy glare.Blake grinned mischievously. He mocked, "You have had a lot of women. If we're barred from them all, what's left for us? I'll maintain my distance; I promise not to touch
Amelie's face grew pale with fright. She bowed her head and quietly refrained from speaking further.Violet intervened in defense of Amelie, saying, "It's not her fault. I should have reminded her."Emily, however, disregarded Violet's comment with a dismissive snort, commanding, "Go and make me cof
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
