Earlier that day, Howard called him. He urged Lucius to marry and have children once more while also expressing his doubts about Lucius's abilities. He also complained about how long it took him to win over Violet. Following that, Howard boasted about his exceptional cooking abilities. The old man
On the third day of Violet's return, Patrick was discharged from the hospital."I'm surprised you're back. I'm thrilled to have you," Patrick said genuinely, a glimmer of liveliness returning to his eyes."I've put my entire dowry into the company. Certainly, I'll have to return and oversee the prog
-"Dad, what are you looking at?" Violet asked Patrick as they stood in the hotel lobby.They had just finished a meeting with a customer and were ready to leave."Oh, nothing!" Patrick averted his gaze. He didn't appear to be in a good mood.He grasped Violet's arm and said, "I thought I spotted s
Unfazed, Violet responded firmly, "It's your call! Take it or leave it!"Concerned about losing even this modest sum, Belle swiftly pocketed the card.Violet reminded her, "I'm providing this money to help you get by and find employment. As long as you're willing to work, you won't go hungry. Spend
Given that the area was primarily a villa district, there were few automobiles passing by. Lucius's villa was situated in a secluded area with a private road leading to it.Ella positioned herself at the entrance and waited patiently, even taking the time to touch up her makeup with a mirror.Aroun
Although they were rivals, they could also potentially become friends. With this in mind, Ella asked, "By the way, how old are you?"Violet truthfully replied, "I'm twenty-four years old.""Twenty-four, huh!" Ella repeated, feeling a bit embarrassed. She realized Violet was a year younger than hers
That statement surprised Violet. "Sisters?" she echoed.Indeed, they were sisters.Ella remarked, "Actually, we have many things in common."Though Violet hadn't agreed, Ella assumed she had and began sharing her thoughts as if they were close friends. She recounted, "We enjoy the same food, and pe
Surprised by Lucius's request, Violet headed to the study.Inside, Lucius sat at his desk, his fingers gliding over a mouse as he reviewed something. A stack of files towered before him.Though he seldom stayed in the CEO's office, his workload kept him busy. Lucius often worked overtime or held mee
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
