"Vivi." Astrid suddenly clasped Violet's hand tightly and said, "If... If Lucius's grandparents object to your marriage because of me, you have to tell me."Her gaze was determined, as if she had reached a crucial decision.Although Violet didn't fully understand the reason, she nodded in agreement
Violet felt completely spent. She tried to explain, "Ella, I didn't buy the dress. It was Lucius. I only found out he bought this dress for me this afternoon. It was a surprise to me too.""Keep lying! Keep pretending!" Ella's face darkened at the mention of Lucius. "You're shameless! Stealing my cl
Violet was practically shoved into the car.As he started the engine, she suddenly grabbed his hand and asked, "Lucius, why did Ella say you were her boyfriend?"Lucius frowned and replied, "How would I know?"If only he knew, none of this mess would have happened."Are you sure you haven't given he
Lucius furrowed his brows in frustration. He scolded, "Don't mess around!"Usually, he was the one who made a fuss, while Violet would try to quiet things down. However, this time, the roles were switched. Lucius hastily grabbed the ring and attempted to slide it onto Violet's finger. Suppressing
Violet was caught off guard with the apology. She placed her hand on Ella's shoulder and said, "Ella...""Vivi, I shouldn't have insulted you or held a grudge against you. But please, give Lucius back to me," Ella pleaded.Violet struggled to find the right words. She was speechless and forgot to re
Emily's presence wasn't unexpected. Violet had assumed Belle would bring her back to Wickham's Residence.Upon spotting Violet, Emily seemed scared. She shrunk and nervously clasped her fingers."Eda, take Emily upstairs," Patrick instructed, not wanting others to disrupt his reunion with his daught
Now that the two people she was wary of had left, Belle was less polite to Violet."You must have heard that your dad is going to marry me. Stop trying to bring your mom into our family. I'm carrying your dad's child now. Any harm to me would kill him. You know better than anyone how much he wants h
Violet couldn't help but think that Lucius's approach was a bit too violent. However, she found his unique way of pampering her oddly comforting.Leaning toward him, she agreed. "Okay, I'll follow your advice."Lucius's mood noticeably improved. He gently pressed her head against his chest and remar
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
