Click!Someone pushed the door open and walked in.Lucius cast a cold glance at the girl sitting on the floor while staring blankly at the blood stains on the bed. “What’s with the fake hymen? Trying to trick some unsuspecting man into thinking that you’re a virgin?” Fake hymen?Violet looked at th
Violet felt a chill run down her spine. Lucius took away the blanket, which was the only thing she had. She yelped. She still had her clothes on, but they were torn. Her pants even had a huge tear that revealed her legs. “Don’t touch me!”He ignored her as he slid his sharp fingernails down her ba
Violet scowled as she pondered hard.However, she could not think of any explanation for this. She started crying and felt absolutely hopeless and pitiful. She shuddered again whenever she thought of Lucius’s cold expression and murderous gaze. There was no way she would sit and wait for her dea
“What do you want from me?” she murmured. She did not believe the old man’s words. He pondered for a moment before saying gravely, “There are consequences for every action. You’re just reaping what you sowed.”That was so unhelpful! It was like he did not say anything at all!“Also, Master Lucius i
“Sh*t!” Lucius cursed. He abruptly stopped kissing Violet. She finally had the chance to breathe. She took a deep breath and placed her hands on her chest.He stayed on top of her with his erection pressed against her.When Violet finally regained her strength, she did not try to break free for fear
George mistook her anxiety for concern, so he sighed and said, “She is Master Lucius’s lover.”“Oh. A lover?”Violet’s anxiety was instantly replaced by indescribable disappointment. She only noticed that tears were rolling out of her eyes and landing on the floor like unstrung beads.“You should ha

"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
