"I'm sure I'll see my idol again!" Ella exclaimed happily as she laughed.She stepped over to the window and cast a casual peek outside which evolved into a long stare because her eyes spotted something she couldn’t look away from. Ella rubbed her eyes in disbelief as she whispered to herself, "No
Patrick scolded her. "Even if you love me, I felt like a fool during our twenty years together. After one woman betrayed me, another betrayer took her place. I wouldn’t even be surprised if you had a hand behind all those terrible rumors about Astrid!"Belle should have been outraged and declared he
Patrick let out a soft sigh, "Compared to your mother, Belle falls short in every way. It was only my moment of weakness... and her pregnancy that led to our marriage."The blow from Astrid was devastating and changed his outlook on life. He never expected someone who loved him so deeply to betray h
Meanwhile, Ella was having a terrible day. First, her idol showed up, but she missed the chance to see him. Then, she missed the time to pick up her mom and got scolded. Lastly, her beloved godmother, who usually adored her, became a different person after going out last night - the latter had been
Belle noticed something off about Astrid's reaction and accusingly said, "Can't you see? Since you showed up, Patrick's been acting differently. Didn't you promise never to come back? What's your agenda? Are you trying to mess up our family? You're shameless!"Judy couldn't tolerate it anymore and w
Lucius shot one last glare at George. In the end, it was the daughter he had abandoned who stood up for him.George touched his head, feeling the tension as Lucius's gaze remained sharp and penetrating, as if ready to fire at him and riddle his body with a bullet hole. He wondered what he had done t
Lucius scowled unhappily. Violet moved in and kissed him on the lips to make him a promise. "I will marry you in a year."Her kiss made his heart melt, so he compromised. “And we'll have a few more children." Violet blushed and nodded, agreeing with a quiet ‘okay'She noticed Patrick had also arriv
Instinctively, Violet held the coat close and turned to him, asking, "Why aren't you asking me why I asked to come here?""Well, I'm sure you have your reasons for coming," he said, his smile softening his expression.Feeling nervous about the meeting tomorrow, Violet leaned against his arm for comf
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
