After Patrick issued his instructions, he swiftly departed. At this point, the situation had be quite
clear, and he had absolute confidence in helping Violet prove her innocence. Now, all he wanted was to
return home quickly and hug his beloved!
Once Patrick left, Yannis’s mouth was sealed again. He watched Patrick depart with a slightly panicked
expression and whimpered as he struggled on the ground. Nilly did not pay him any attention. Instead,
he began to deal with Rose and Jasmine’s affairs, nning to have the PR materials ready and videos
filmed once Tanya was brought in. Before releasing the videos the next day, everything needed to be
prepared meticulously so that the truth would be crystal clear to the online audience. Of course, Rose’s
apology video needed to bepleted by tonight.

On the other hand, Patrick drove straight back to Hersey Court after leaving Aster Vi. On the way,
Robert called. “I sent you messages, but you did not respond at all!” Robert’s voice sounded
nonchnt. It seemed like he was eating as he talked.
Patrick drove the car with a nk expression, and responded concisely, “I’m driving.”
Robert continued. “By the way, it’s been a whole day now. How did the situation with Violet get
handled? Do you know who was behind it?”
Patrick replied, “We have already figured it out. I have entrusted the follow–up to Nilly.”
Robert knew that Nilly always handled things carefully, and he could understand Patrick’s decision to
hand the matter over to Nilly. He said, “I would say it’s better to resolve this matter quickly. People
online seem to be in a bad mood for some reason. They insult others left and right, whether they are
rted to the issue or
not.”
Upon hearing this, Patrick’s gaze darkened, He thought about the countless people online bashing
Violet, and he felt the urge to take action. However, he also understood that there were countless
netizens, and he could not deal with them as easily as his employees. He replied in a low voice, “That’s
why they’re called trolls. and keyboard warriors! They’re a bunch of idle rats who gain a sense of
superiority by trampling on others. There’s no need to pay them any mind.”
Robert chuckled upony hearing Patrick’s response. “Impressive! I did not expect

that you even know about trolls and keyboard warriors!”
Patrick was unimpressed as he said, “Do you think I’m as ignorant as you? Do you have anything else
to say?”
Robert could not help but smile. “No, it was just a casual question. But seeing youre back from
your business trip and immediately being overwhelmed, I‘ forgive yourment about my ignorance.
I’ll let you go. Hurry up and go home. to your babe!”
Patrick grunted and said, “It’s a pity that you don’t have a beloved to go to even if you want to. Oh, by
the way, Megan is still at my ce!” He finished speaking and hung up without giving Robert a chance
to respond.
On the other end of the phone, Robert looked at his phone, feeling both amused and exasperated.
Initially, when Patrick mentioned that Megan was still at their ce, he had a momentary surge of
excitement, thinking about seeing her. However, upon further reflection, he realized that put aside the
fact Megan wanted to see him or not, she would probably be long gone by the time he went to see her.
Patrick and Violet were deeply in love, and a few days apart naturally meant they wanted to spend
private time together. Megan was not the kind of person whocked awareness. Robert estimated that
once Patrick returned home, Megan would likely leave. He pondered for a moment and decided to stay
in.
Meanwhile, when Patrick entered his home, he saw Vi dashing over, circling around his legs. Patrick
had not expected that after being away for a few days, Vi would be even more affectionate than
before. His eyes suddenly gleamed, thinking that if a kitten that knew nothing was already this
affectionate, Violet would probably be even more loving! He gently pushed Vi, who was excitedly
weing him, aside and made his way towards the living room.
Megan’s thoughts were quite simr to Robert’s. When she saw Patrick return, she immediately
expressed her intention to leave. Violet could tell that she genuinely wanted to depart and did not
attempt to dissuade her. Once Megan left, there were only Violet and Patrick left in the house.
Patrick approached with a smile and reached out to hug Violet. Her face blushed slightly, and she
pushed Patrick gently, saying, “Go take a shower and change into some casual clothes. The suit
doesn’t lookfortable.”
Patrick raised an eyebrow and gently brushed her nose with his hand. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Violet blushed and patted his hand away. “No touching!”

Patrick reversed his grip, holding her hand in his palm, and looked at her with a yful expression.
“Okay, no touching. But will you apany me upstairs? Is. that eptable?”
Violet pursed her lips and cleared her throat ufortably. “Sure, it’s fine. Ineed to go upstairs to get
something, too.”
Patrick took Violet’s hand and headed upstairs together. When they reached the top, she suddenly
asked, “By the way, what would you like for dinner?”
Patrick thought for a moment and replied, “I’ll cook for youter!”
Violet’s heart felt as sweet as sugar upon hearing this. Her voice softened as she said, “You came back
from your business trip today, and you’ve been busy ever since. You must be exhausted. I’ll have the
servant take care of it!”
Patrick hadn’t expected her to suggest this and tightened his grip on her hand. He smiled and said, “I
know you care about me. I’ll do as you say!”
Violet’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she tried to act tough. She pushed his hand. away. “Who said I
care about you?”
However, Patrick suddenly seemed to lose his strength and leaned against the wall of the staircase.
Violet became worried and asked, “Are you… are you alright,
Patrick?”
Patrick looked at Violet with a feeble expression and remained silent. Violet became a bit anxious and
hurried over, grabbing his hand. “Are you feeling unwell? I didn’t apply any force when I pushed your
hand away. I… I can take you to the hospital now!”
Seeing Violet’s worried and flustered expression, Patrick couldn’t help but chuckle and pinched her
cheek gently, “I was just teasing you.”
Violet was momentarily stunned, then grew both angry and anxious. “How could you joke about
something like that?”
Seeing that Violet was genuinely upset, Patrick quickly exined, holding her hand, “I wasn’t joking. I
was just teasing you. After all, you were the one who said you didn’t care about me, but it seems that
you did care about me.”
Violet rolled her eyes in frustration. “You can y by yourself here. I’m going upstairs!” Violet said as
she quickly walked upstairs.
Thinking that she was truly angry, Patrick hurriedly caught up. “Violet, baby, don’t be angry. I really
didn’t mean it. I just wanted to…”
Violet suddenly stopped and turned to see what he would say next. Patrick fixed. his gaze on her, his
expression bing more serious. “I just wanted to see you care about me. Don’t be mad, alright?”
Despite a bit of lingering annoyance, Violet let it go when she heard those words. Plus, Patrick had a
long and tiring day. She realized she wasn’t genuinely angry. She gave him a quick nce and let out a
light huff. “Alright, I was just teasing you too, not really mad at you,” Violet said and shed a
mischievous smile, then rushed to her room.
Patrick quickly realized the tables had turned on him and dashed to catch up. It seemed Violet had
decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. He realized he should be more cautious about making
such jokes in the future. As Violet rushed toward the door, Patrick caught up to her from behind and
embraced her.
