    The weekend passed in the blink of an eye.


    It was Monday morning. Elijah arrived at the office. Joey followed him into his office.


    “Anything urgent?" Elijah powered up hisputer and nced at Joey.


    “Boss, have you not switched on your mobile phone?" Joey cautiously inquired.


    Only then did Elijah realize that he had left his mobile phone at home. He had spent the weekend sleeping, which had left him


    feeling a bit dizzy despite the long rest.


    "Here''s the thing," Joey highlighted the events from yesterday and reported them to him.


    Upon hearing the news, a puzzled expression appeared on Elijah''s face. "Get one of the bodyguards to bring me my phone," he


    ordered Joey.


    After Joey left, he turned his attention back to hisputer screen. The headline news for the day popped up — The Bourne


    Group CEO, Elijah, was scammed out of one billion!


    Although Joey had described the news content to him, he opened the pop-up news anyway. After reading through the news, he


    rubbed his temples. It didn''t matter if they called him a love-struck fool, but why did they have tobel Violette as a con artist?!


    Ridiculous!


    The news had gone viral online for a whole day. It was toote to delete it now. Everyone knew that he was swindled by Violette


    of 10 billion. Even if he refuted this rumor, the majority wouldn''t believe him.


    He picked up the office phone and called the legal department. After delegating the matter to thewyers, his phone was


    delivered by the bodyguard. Besides calls from Joey and Brandon, no one else had tried to reach him. He didn''t know if Violette


    had seen the news, or how she would react to it. He pulled up her contact, intending to call her but ended up setting his phone


    down.


    Why should he feel guilty? He didn''t release the news.


    She wanted him to go back to his own life. Didn''t she just want him to go back to being the same person who had nothing but his


    career?


    He never bothered about such news before, let alone let it affect his mood.


    He closed the news tab, opened his work email and began his day''s work.


    Across the ocean, in B Country.


    Violette woke up to a message from Odette. Besides asking when she would return home, Odette also informed her of the news


    concerning her and Elijah.


    Her first reaction to the news was: Elijah spent 10 billion to save her?! Her second reaction was: She was a con artist?!


    Stunned, she sat on her bed for a


    good while, too shocked to reach|She

    Upon hearing this, she immediately got off the bed.


    "Mike, have you seen the news back home?" She strode over to Mike. "Elijah spent 10 billion to save me?!"

    Violette''s eyes flickered, and her lips pressed tightly together.
