She dashed forward to help him."Vivi," Patrick muttered quietly upon seeing Violet, "I never imagined you'd be the one who stayed by my side in the end."He had imagined many possibilities for his future, but he had never thought that the one who had always been neglected would eventually be the on
His phone was connected swiftly, and his familiar voice came through within seconds."Where are you?" she asked softly, attempting to mask her excitement."Downstairs!" he responded curtly."Downstairs? Where?""Where else? Hurry up and get out here!"Violet put down the phone and turned to look out
After some hesitation, the waiter finally told her, "You can't enter without proper attire."They sat across from each other.Lucius casually threw his suit jacket over the chair, exposing a black shirt that had been expertly fitted. This man donned a dark tie, which emanated elegance that rivaled c
Lucius clarified, "That's not the issue here."He lightly tapped Megan's shoulder, undisturbed by her display of affection. He was treating the situation as ordinary rather than alluring.Megan had always been very proud. She would never put herself down unless she was passionately in love. Even so,
"I remember," he stated.Lucius kept his promises and never went back on them."Alright, then," Blake replied, nodding. "I want you to marry Megan."Lucius's expression fell, and he stared at Blake as if he were a stranger."But you promised!" Blake pressed, stressing the weight of Lucius's words.M
As the curtain drew back, Violet unexpectedly saw Megan seated in the prime spot of the first row. She was squinting and smiling at Violet.The row was reserved for Celene's esteemed guests. It was a mystery how Megan managed to get there.Violet was resolved not to let her own feelings mess with th
Violet hurriedly looked away. She brushed away her uncontrollable tears and ran away.She was extremely exhausted after the lengthy trip back to Wickham's Residence.The house was vacant, except for Patrick. The old man hunched over, his hair now completely gray. Recent events had taken their toll o
Celene cautioned, "Make sure you're ready. Once the tour begins, we’ll be gone for months. Can you handle that?"Can Violet handle it? Why couldn't she handle it? Violet felt as if nothing was holding her back."I'm up for it," she replied with a slight nod, but her voice was slightly choked up.Str
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
