How could Violet not come to her rescue? She firmly grasped Kristian's arm and asserted, "She doesn't want to go with you. You should let her go. It's crowded here, and pulling and tugging could cause unnecessary attention and misunderstandings."Kristian glanced around and indeed noticed a few onlo
Looking around, Violet felt unsettled by Oliver's presence. "Where's Alexis?" Oliver shook his head, replying, "I didn't see anyone when I arrived."Violet nodded softly, then asked, "Are you here to change your clothes?""I'm worried about you," Oliver admitted honestly, his gaze warm with concern
"I didn't take your money."There was a scattering of money on the floor. It was a pity to waste several thousand dollars like that, especially for someone who had always struggled financially."That's correct, you didn't," Kristian acknowledged.This time, Kristian took out a check from his wallet
"Sure, we can chat next time," Lucius replied with forced politeness, before leaving.Sarah didn't cling to him. She understood that men didn't appreciate women who were too clingy. Persistence often led to disgust.In Lucius, she found the most satisfactory man she had encountered since returning t
He was visibly angry. Earlier, she had been cozying up to Oliver; and now, she had come for Kristian instead of acknowledging him.His pride prevented him from lowering himself in front of her. With this in mind, he turned to leave."Lucius!" Violet caught up to him. She knew she had to speak, or sh
"Why are you here?" she asked, trying to sound casual.Lucius raised an eyebrow and replied, "Since you never returned home, I had to come looking for you.""Oh," she sighed softly, quietly questioning whether that place still held any significance for her."Have you seen Agatha?" she asked, knowing
It was Naomi. Just a few days ago, she seemed relatively well; but now, she looked worn down.As Violet's car approached, Naomi rushed over recklessly; if Violet hadn't braked in time, there might have been an accident.Violet felt a chill run down her spine, causing her back to break into a cold sw
Naomi's doubts surfaced after she saw the photo. The woman in the picture appeared younger but bore a striking resemblance to Naomi. The two shared the same features.If it wasn't Naomi, then who else could it be?In the next photo, there was Agatha, a bit older, perhaps seventeen or eighteen. She p
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
