"I know. You've always been wise and careful. I admire your approach; you have my support," Patrick responded with a hint of admiration in his eyes."You're right. Matters of the heart shouldn't be rushed or taken lightly. Both parties need to be sure before tying the knot. I just didn't expect Luci
Ella pointed out, "I think this one is great."The gown was undoubtedly the creation of a top-tier designer. It looked stunning on Ella.Violet's eyes sparkled with admiration as she nodded in agreement.Ella leaned in closer to whisper in Violet's ear, "This dress is incredibly expensive. We should
In response, Howard's roar thundered even louder. "Spoil her? Keep it up, and she'll think she's queen of the world!""So what? I'm fine with letting her feel that way," Lucius retorted, unfazed."You… You fool!"The same old argument between the two erupted once again.Violet even detected the soun
Ella got along well with her colleagues. Someone came over to tease her, "Ella, are you daydreaming about a guy or what? You look so happy! Those who do not know would mistake you for the bride!"Blushing even more with the teasing, Ella boldly responded, "And what if I am?""Sure, sure. You're the
"Thank you for enduring all the grievances and giving us your blessings," Lucius said, surprisingly polite.Astrid shook her head and replied, "It's no trouble. Having Vivi as a daughter doesn't make me feel aggrieved."Lucius only nodded in acknowledgment.Ella entered the room and yelled, "Mama!"
"It’s fine!" Violet tried to play the peacemaker, saying, "It'll pass if I tough it out."His glare went across everyone in the room as he growled, "Why do you want to tough it out? Who permitted you to starve someone for an entire day over a minor party?"The crews thought silently to themselves th
"I already consider myself your daughter, Mama." Ella got up, threw herself into Astrid's arms, and cooed, "You've always been so kind to me, and you treat me better than my own mother.""Now she's acting like herself again," Judy remarked with a hint of relief.Taking Astrid's hand, she added, "Now
"Ella, are you out of your mind?" Judy exclaimed as she hurried down to her daughter.Tears welled up in Ella's eyes as she questioned, "Why are you scolding me? Mom, she stole my man.""Your man?" Judy's expression showed pure disbelief. As far as she could remember, Ella hardly had any interaction
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
