Chapter 7


    He didn''t have a password lock and hisputer booted up real quick. Her heart was racing in no


    time.


    She took a deep breath, plugged in the USB into theputer and logged into her social media


    ount.


    After a sessful login, she quickly sent the document over to her schoolmate.


    Everything went surprisingly smooth, and t


    he document was sessfully sent out before twelve.


    Every extra second she stayed, she felt panic. Her fingers, gripping the mouse, shook uncontrobly


    when she was shutting down theputer and identally clicked on a random folder. The folder


    popped open out of the blue.


    Her eyes widened, taking a curious look at the content of the folder.


    Five minutester, she walked out of the study.


    Lacey breathed a sigh of relief, "See, I told you. The boss isn''ting back that soon, right?"


    Violette was feeling all sorts of emotions, feeling like she had stumbled upon Elijah''s secret.


    She was somewhat regretful for using hisputer, "Lacey, is there a camera in his study?"


    "No. But there''s one outside the study." Lacey said.


    Violette went pale, "Then he''ll definitely know I went into his study."


    "Just exin to him when he gets back. I checked the time, you only used less than ten minutes. He


    shouldn''t be that mad." Lacey tried tofort her.


    Meanwhile, her phone dinged.


    Violette picked up her phone and saw a notification for a money transfer.


    Her ssmate had transferred five hundred to her. She didn''t expect the reward to be that high. She


    made five hundred dors in just two hours!


    The money eased her anxiety for a bit.


    She didn''t mean to use hisputer or to look into his files.


    When he got back, she would exin everything to him, hoping he wouldn''t get mad.


    After all, she had agreed to divorce him. Once they were divorced, they would never see each other


    again.


    His secrets had nothing to do with her anymore.


    After lunch, Violette went back to her room and closed the door.


    She sat in front of her vanity, looking down at her belly, whispering, "Baby, mommy doesn''t want to let


    you go either. But if you were born, your life might be harder than mine right now..."


    Maybe it was because of her pregnancy, she fell asleep on her desk in no time.


    In the afternoon, there were hurried footsteps outside her room.


    Violette woke up in a start.


    Before she could fully regain her consciousness, the door to her room was pushed open.


    "Madam, did you touch any of the files in the boss''sputer?" Lacey asked her with a shocked


    expression.


    Violette''s heart started to race, "He... Is he back? Did he find out?"


    The urgency in Lacey''s voice was palpable, "Weren''t you just sending a document? The boss just said


    you touched his other files. He''s in the study right now, furious. Madam, I really can''t help you this


    time."


    Violette''s heart was pounding.


    There was only one thought in her mind: she was screwed!


    Now she might not even need to think about the divorce, because he might justsh out at her directly.


    Her eyes started to turn red from the tears, "Lacey, I''m sorry. I didn''t mean to look through his personal


    stuff. My hand was a bit shaky when I was shutting down theputer and I identally clicked on it. I


    promise, I only took a nce and closed it right away..."


    Lacey believed her, but she was helpless, "He justshed out at me. I might lose my job soon."


    Violette was feeling extremely suffocated. She could ept the punishment, but she couldn''t let Lacey


    be involved.


    She walked out of her room, deciding to exin to Elijah.


    Just then, the elevator door on the first floor slowly opened. The bodyguard was pushing Elijah out of


    the elevator.


    Even though the vi only had three floors, it was equipped with an elevator.


    She saw him sitting in the wheelchair with a menacing look on his face, his eyes full of anger.


    She had anticipated he would be mad when he found out, but she didn''t expect him to be this mad.


    "Elijah, I''m sorry." Her voice was stuck in her throat, full of anxiety, "Myputer broke down this


    morning so I used yourputer without your permission. This has nothing to do with Lacey. She tried


    to stop me but I didn''t listen."


    She took all the me upon herself.


    The bodyguard was holding his wheelchair while she looked at him.


    His eyes were slightly red, it seemed like she had really upset him.

    She spoke again, her voice full of tears, "I''m sorry."


    "You''ve seen everything, haven''t you?" Elijah''s voice was low and cold.


    His hands were clenched tightly, seemingly at ease, but his fingers were red from the force.


    If he wasn''t sitting in the wheelchair right now, he might have strangled her with his bare hands.


    This audacious and ignorant woman! Did she really think she was thedy of the house? Daring to go


    into his study and touch his stuff!


    She nodded her head and then quickly shook it, "I can''t remember clearly now. I only took a nce and


    closed it right away! I didn''t mean to look into your privacy. I was too nervous and identally clicked


    on that folder..."


    "Shut up!" Seeing her making excuses, he felt even more disgusted, "Go back to your room! You''re not


    allowed to step out of your room until we get a divorce!"


    Violette wanted to exin but was cut off by his words


    , so she turned around and quickly went back to her room.


    She could clearly feel his disdain towards her.


    After she closed her door, Elijah gave the order, "No meals for her."


    Was he trying to confine her and starve her to death?


    Lacey felt sorry for Violette but dared not to voice any objections.


    In the Bourne family, Elijah was the one who called the shots.


    Two dayster.


    Grace''s blood pressure stabilized and she was allowed to be discharged from the hospital.


    As soon as she was discharged, Grace visited Elijah''s mansion right away.


    "Elijah, how are you feeling? What did the doctor say? When do you think you''ll be able to stand up


    again?" Grace looked at her son full of energy, her face full of smiles.


    Elijah said, "The doctor said I''m recovering well. Mom, there''s something I want to discuss with you."


    The smile on Grace''s face faded a bit, "You want to talk about your marriage, right? I nned the


    wedding for you. Violette is a nice girl, I''m very satisfied with her... Wait, where is she? You didn''t drive


    her away, did you?"


    "No." As soon as Elijah finished his sentence, he signaled Lacey.


    Lacey immediately walked towards Violette''s room.


    These past two days, she hadn''t had a bite to eat or even a sip of water. No clue how she was holding


    up now.
