That night, Violet had a dream.She dreamt about the little girl she saw during the day. The little girl ran ahead while her mother chased after her. When the girl fell, her mother rushed over to hold her. Suddenly, that little girl transformed into Violet. Violet called out to her mom, and wrappe
Violet forced a smile at George, and said, "I'll wait for him."Her stubbornness had kicked in. She persisted in clarifying things with Lucius."Ms. Violet—" George called out to her, but his undertone signaled that she should comply.Violet ignored him. "You can go ahead. I'll explain it to him tha
Violet was unsure of how to respond. She immediately regretted taking the bus."It's her! I attend every one of Celene's concerts. I was there a few days ago and sat in the front row. I saw her. There's no mistake."The bus was buzzing with conversation, and Violet was the focus of attention. Viole
Violet grunted softly as she picked up the cup and drank her tea."This tea is our homegrown angel leaf. It has a cooling effect that can dissipate summer heat. You won't find such tea leaves elsewhere," the waiter proudly introduced."It tastes good," Violet said truthfully.She wasn't fond of tea,
After dinner, the two walked outside the restaurant.Oliver offered, "Where do you live? I'll take you to your hotel." He skillfully avoided bringing up Lucius into their conversation, as if the man didn't exist. This made Violet feel much more at ease. Instinctively, she said, "I can leave on my
First, she returned to the Wickham residence to inform Patrick of Belle's release from prison.Patrick's hair had turned silver, and he wasn’t lively as he had been. The news of Belle's release clearly surprised him.Violet reasoned, "Emily needs someone to care for her, and...I want to find my mom.
Naomi's face betrayed an apparent sign of inner struggle before she shook her head and claimed, "No, I don't."She wanted to find Agatha, but her action would almost certainly result in Lucius's revenge. Naomi would rather her daughter to be free and far away, than suffer a fate worse than death.Vi
Lucius abruptly raised his hand to stop him. His attention was locked on an electronic screen above his head. The screens were located both inside and outside the shopping mall and office buildings. Typically, it would play product advertisements, but they also broadcast entertainment and news.Ins
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
