Violet lowered her gaze and gave off a smile. “Actually, I didn’t do much. I just taught them to make paper cranes, stars, and more. Those are what Jacob taught me before.”The dean approached her and took her hand. “Viv, I’ve always known that you couldn’t let go of Jacob. Jacob was a good man. It’s a pity that…”She interrupted the dean abruptly, “Please stop, ma’am, please stop.”“Viv, you must learn to face the facts.” The dean took a deep breath and could not help but feel downcast. “There’s no need for you to put all the blame on yourself.”At that moment, the already cracked dam in Violet’s heart was being slammed again, and it crumbled.She lowered her head and admitted deep down that she was not as strong as she had been portraying herself throughout all these years. Despite how others misunderstood and badmouthed her over the years, she had never cared.The only thing that would shatter her was Jacob.She could not bear it any longer—the pain that had been buried deep
Jackie remained silent for a moment. “Did she come here before this?”“Yes, what’s wrong?”“It’s nothing.” He lowered his gaze, thought about it for a while, but received a call at the moment.It was about the things that he had asked someone else to investigate for him.The other party said, “Mr. Clifford, I’ve asked Mr. Eden about the other day. He told me that he’s not very close with Ms. Lovegood. He’s only met her twice, and he doesn’t even have her contact information. He also said that he happened to run into Ms. Lovegood in the restaurant the other day. Ms. Lovegood only invited him to have a meal on the grounds that they had had a conversation at an art exhibition.”Jackie did not say anything and hung up the call.Someone tugged the hem of his jacket all of a sudden.He lowered his head. It was a little girl of seven or eight years old. “Sir, are you here for Sister Viv?”Jackie frowned.‘This imp actually called me sir but addressed her as Sister Violet. Just how ol
Violet’s shoulders quivered. She jerked her hands to break free from his grasp and glared at him with bloodshot eyes. “So what if I’ve chosen to degenerate?”“Then what have you achieved?” He looked extremely calm. “Have you gotten what you want in exchange for your degeneration? After doing everything you’ve done to ruin your reputation, has the dead come back to life?”Violet’s eyelashes trembled slightly, her lips were pursed tightly, and the hands that were hanging beside her body tightened subconsciously.‘How can the dead come back to life? Although I hope so, how could there be such a miracle?‘What happened has happened. I witnessed Jacob’s death with my own eyes, and I was also there the day he was cremated. I was personally there throughout the whole journey, sending him off to the other world, but I couldn’t change anything.‘If I could go back in time and go through everything all over again, I’d rather that I was the one who died in that incident.’After a long silen
Violet lowered her gaze.‘Over the years, while I’ve hated my father for Jacob’s death, I’ve ignored my mother's love for me too. In the end, all my relatives could only condone my doings helplessly.‘All I could think of all these years was my hatred and resentment toward the world, so much so that I’ve neglected the fact that there are people who care about me.‘I can’t let go of my grudge because I can’t live on happily due to Jacob’s death.‘Before today, I didn’t understand Jacob’s intention when he saved me from the bullet. He didn’t die on my behalf just to make me live in guilt for the rest of my life.’Two days later…In front of all the media, Thomas made the news public that he had taken Violet in as his god-granddaughter. He also clarified that Violet and his grandson had decided to get a divorce not because of Violet’s lifestyle but because of their incompatibility.He supported Violet publically and accused the media of misinterpreting the truth.And Thomas’s deci
Violet walked to the table. “What’s the matter?”“It’s nothing.” He walked in and glanced at the framed paintings on the wall. “I’ve come to visit your gallery.”She was startled. “Then why not come during the day?”He retracted his gaze. “I don’t have time during the day.”Violet snorted, lowered her head, and continued to frame the painting on hand. “You actually chose to come to visit at night, that’s so sickening.”Jackie looked at her and frowned. “Watch your words.”“I’ve always been like this.” Violet thought of something and suddenly realized something. “Oh, because I’m now your god-sister, I have to respect you as an elder brother, right?”Jackie smiled. “Grandpa asked us to get along well as god-siblings. Is this how you uphold your promise?”Violet smiled. “Even retards won’t believe in the promise that we both made. Let me ask you a question, will you get along well with me?”Jackie was rendered speechless.Violet waved her hand. “Forget it. I’ve never expected to
Some things were not visible to the eyes of the beholder—they had to be observed through the heart.…The weather was bright and sunny.Violet brought the three kids to the amusement park to play, but she ran into Zephir and Jackie.They arrived at the amusement park later.Daisie ran toward them with a smile. “Zephir, Uncle!”Waylon and Colton looked at Violet. She crossed her arms and clicked her tongue. “Since when did my cousin become this close with that fella?”‘And Jackie, he actually came to an amusement park? This is so strange.’Zephir looked at them. “What a coincidence?”Colton snorted. “Yeah, what a coincidence.”‘This is such a surprising coincidence.’However, Zephir was not alone, and he brought Jackie along too, so they did not make his life hard for him.Hence, the kids came together and ran off to play, leaving Violet and Jackie behind.She then said reluctantly, “Thank you for last night.”She was referring to the fact that he had left an umbrella that
They only went home reluctantly as evening approached.Originally, the three children had come in the same car as Violet, but the four children got into the same car at the end of the day.Looking at them leaving her behind, Violet clicked her tongue. “Such immorality! This is getting too much!”‘These b*stards must have colluded.’Jackie lowered the car window and raised his eyelids. “Aren’t you leaving?”She was startled.She then thought of something and snorted softly. “I’ll die before I hitch a ride with your car.”Violet clearly remembered when he left her at the city hall the other day. Who knew what was going through his mind at that moment?Jackie knew that she was still angry, so he spoke slowly. “I’ll send you home for real this time.”“Are you serious?” Violet sneered. “How would I know that you won’t leave me on the freeway this time?”If this were before, he would have long been impatient and asked his driver to leave her behind. However, he had not shown any tr
“Penny! What nonsense are you talking about?” Edmund’s expression dimmed.‘Even I have to show the Cliffords a little respect. Even if the Cliffords want to whitewash Violet, I won’t dare to bring this up in their face.’Penelope gnashed her teeth. “Who gave you the right to claim that what I just said is nonsense? If it weren’t for her, Brooklyn and I would have gotten married long ago. Do you expect me to kiss the *ss of a b*tch who specializes in snatching other people’s boyfriends?“Young Master Clifford, didn’t you despise this woman back then too? Since when have you been bewitched by this b*tch?”She snorted coldly and glared at Violet. “A b*tch will forever be a b*tch. You’ve actually convinced the Cliffords and made them side with you so quickly. I think it’s only a matter of time before you get onto the bed of the grandfather and grandson and serve the both of them—”Edmund slapped Penelope and stunned her for a split second.She looked up in disbelief. “Father!?”Edmu
