Chapter 144


    At two o''clock in the afternoon, Violette got a call from Ramsey.


    "Violette, let me know when you''re free. The other party has agreed to meet with us. They want to a


    chat. Oh, by the way, do you have proof of assets? The market value of this building is at least 500


    million."


    Ramsey''s words stunned Violette, "I remember the initial selling price of this building was 200 million


    US dors."


    "Yup, it''s in a prime location. With the skyrocketing housing prices in recent years, its value has


    increased too."


    "Alright. I''m not avable today. Let''s meet tomorrow!"


    "Got it. I''ll let them know right now."


    Violette has an appointment with Odette in the afternoon.


    Over the years, they kept in touch. Although they didn''t talk often, their friendship remained strong.


    The two met at a restaurant.


    Odette held a bouquet of roses in her hands. Upon seeing Violette, she gave her a warm hug.


    "Violette! You''re finally back! If you didn''t return, I would''ve considered cutting ties with you!"


    In these four years, they had met twice.


    Both times, Odette went abroad to find Violette.


    Violette picked up the roses, sniffed them, and praised, "These flowers smell amazing."


    "Violette, I wanted to pretend not to know you, but I couldn''t help it! You haven''t been back once in


    these four years!" Odette escorted her to the sofa. "This time ,you''re back. you won''t leave the country


    again, will you?"


    "Of course, I''ll leave again! Like for vacations and stuff."


    "You seem to be in a good mood! Where are you living now?" Odette ordered a few signature dishes


    and handed her the menu.


    Violette nced at the menu and handed it to the waiter.


    "I''m living at Star River Bay."


    Odette was surprised, "Is it the famous Silverleaf Ridge district?"


    Violette nodded awkwardly, "I made some money while abroad."


    "Oh my god! The vis there are worth tens of millions! You didn''t just make some money. you made a


    fortune! How''d you do it? Can you teach me?" Odette winked, pretending to joke.


    Violette said lightly, "I partnered with someone to start apany abroad, and it turned out to be quite


    profitable."


    "You guys are amazing! I don''t even know if Ramsey has made 10 million in his entire career. I doubt


    he''s cut out for business, and so do my parents. That''s why they disagree with me marrying him."


    Odette held up five fingers. "I''ve been with him for almost five years. I don''t know how much longer I


    can hang on."


    "Didn''t you say that as long as he returns back and takes over the family business, your parents will


    agree to let you marry him?"


    "Yes! But Ramsey doesn''t want to go back and take over! He said he''s willing to be with me for a


    lifetime, and the money he makes is enough to support me." Odette pretended to be unhappy.


    "Violette, I''m so sad! I might never get married in this lifetime."


    "Don''t worry. if you really want to get married, you can marry me. I can support you too." Violette


    Odette almost spat out the water in her mouth.


    "Violette, I''m curious, why did you divorce Elijah? Did he cheat on you? But I''ve never heard of him


    having another woman! In the years you''ve been abroad, he hasn''t had a new girlfriend either." Odette


    had been too shy to ask before, but now that Violette was here, she asked all her questions.


    "Odette, if Ramsey had another woman in his heart, but she never appeared in your lives, could you


    ept it?" Violette asked back.


    Odette suddenly understood, "You mean Elijah had another woman in his heart?"


    Violette took a sip of water and said, "It''s all in the past. We''ve been broken up for so long, now there''s


    just the divorce procedure left."


    "I never thought he could deceive himself like that. His friends think you hurt him, they think he''s the


    most sincere man in the world, and you''re the most vicious woman. I feel like throwing up now."


    "Don''t vomit, don''t ruin my appetite." Violette''s mood was calm, no fluctuations could be seen on her

    "Alright! Let''s not talk about that unpleasant man anymore! What are your ns for your next career

    "I n to rebuild my father''spany."
