She looked up in shock and instantly wanted to back away. Her jaw dropped in surprise as she recognized the familiar face.Violet stuttered, "L-Lucius."Lucius simply responded with a piercingly cold gaze and pursed lips.Violet was still surprised to find him here. She asked swiftly, "Why are you h
Celene said something else, but Violet couldn't bring herself to listen. Her thoughts were already occupied by the secret she had just heard.Was Lucius behind the entire scandal? Why would he do that? What was his purpose in linking her to Josh over some scandal? Does it make him happy for her to b
All Lucius did was to give in to his impulse and decide to look into the relationship between Violet and Oliver. And once he started digging around, nothing could be hidden from him - Lucius had no idea there would be so much contact between the two.Violet's eyes widened with shock. She stuttered,
She had a fever? Violet recalled feeling like her body was about to combust before passing out."The doctor mentioned that as long as you regained consciousness, everything will be alright. Get some rest and don't think about anything." Celene reassured her tenderly.Violet nodded and started lookin
"Dad…" Ella intentionally trailed her voice. "How can you condemn me for dreaming? It's about seizing an opportunity when it's close by. How about this? You allow me to stay right next to you. Master Lucius is bound to like me over time."George glanced at his daughter helplessly. Ever since she ha
His rudeness, on the other hand, infuriated Howard. The old man sternly reprimanded Lucius, "What do you mean, ‘what is it?’ Did you just ignore your grandparents' advice? Where is my great-grandson? Why didn't we get any news? Your grandma is starting to go as far as considering finding another wo
His mother nodded awkwardly to each of them before hurriedly leaving with her son.Lucius's brows furrowed in irritation, realizing that his wife appealed to men of all ages, including kids.But Violet could care less about his thoughts as she touched her tummy and asked, "How could I possibly be pr
"Did you hear me?" Lucius repeated. As Violet broke out of her reverie and turned to face him, his tone became harsher again. It seemed like there was a large stone weighing down in his chest, nothing felt right. He would not have wasted a second glance at any other woman, whether or not she had a

"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
