Chapter 588
“| pped Melinda,” Odette confessed. “I know it was impulsive, but if | had the chance to do it all over again, I’d still do it! She’s
not even the boss of the Bourne Group yet, but she was giving me a hard time!”
Violette listened. Her mood was still heavy. It was wrong of Odette to throw the first punch, but that was between her and
Melinda. Was it necessary for Elijah, as a man, to get involved?
“That jerk, Elijah, I''ll never forgive him! Surely he never cares about my forgiveness!” Odette dered, giving Violette a look.
“Violette, my issues with Elijah have nothing to do with you. Don’t let me influence you. | was hit because | couldn''t keep my
mouth shut. He didn’t just do it for Melinda.”
“Odette, no matter what you said to him, he had no right to hit you.” Violette brought up a past incident, “He nearly chokedn to
death once.n still hates him for it. | suspect he knows thatn is his son. Because of his past mistakes, he doesn’t dare
acknowledge him. He knowsn would never ept him.”
Odette stared nkly. “Should | be grateful that he only pped me?”
“He has a terrible temper.” Violette pulled out a tube of ointment from her bag and handed it to Odette. “Odette, stay away from
him.
“| certainly will. | won’t forgive him unless he apologizes. Well, even if he apologizes to me, | won’t!” Odette huffed, “But if you
want to make amends with him for the sake of the baby, | won’t hold it against you.”
“Odette, you’re my best friend. If he hits you, it’s like he’s hitting me,” Violette said.
“Oh, Violette, | knew you''d take my side! But you’re pregnant now. | don’t want you to worry about this.” Odette gripped her hand.
“The doctor said you need to rest more, but you made the effort toe and see me. I’m really moved. Don’t argue with Elijah
over this. | don’t want you to stress out and harm yourself.”
“| know my limits.”
The next day, in the morning.
Violette, wearing a light blue maternity dress, appeared at the Bourne Group building.
Since she didn’t make an appointment, she stood on the first floor, waiting for the front desk to announce her arrival. About five
minutester, the elevator door slowly opened in the distance.
Joey walked out briskly. He approached Violette with a warm smile on his face. “Violette, what brings you here all of sudden?”
Violette answered, “I felt likeing.”
Joey knew perfectly well why she was here, but still pretended to be clueless. “My boss is a bit busy at the moment and is not in
his office. Would you mind waiting in his office?”
Violette replied, “Sure.”
They both entered the elevator, one after the other.
Once the elevator door closed, Joey nced at her belly. “Your belly is bigger than before. Are you tired?”
Violette said, “Not tired.”
Joey asked, “Oh, how are your prenatal check-ups?”
Violette replied, “Not good.”

“... What are you holding?” He awkwardly changed the subject.
Violette was holding a file bag with a contract inside.
“I''ll discuss it with your boss when | see him.” Her tone was cold and her aura was exceptionally chilly.
Joey shivered.
