Chapter 40


    “Please leave. Ms. Naomi George said. He had already made a mistake by letting Naomi slip among


    the ranks of people in charge of bringing the starving dogs over.


    Naomi gave Violet a longing look, but did not say anything else and just left while filled with worry.


    When Violet saw her gaze, she felt touched again.


    “Let me send her off.”


    Lucius did not say no and let Violet do as she wished.


    The bikinidy stomped her feet in frustration. She had thought that Violet would be done for after


    pulling her needle out, but Naomi just had to show up!


    “Darling, they don’t respect you at all” she said.


    Lucius nodded and gestured at her with his chin. “You should get ready.”


    “For?” The bikinidy’s eyes lit up. Her first thought was that Lucius was finally going to acknowledge


    her and chase Violet away so that he could marry her.


    “Give her to the dogs, Mr. George.”


    “What?”


    Before the bikinidy could figure out what he meant. George ordered her to be dragged away. He


    shook his head in resignation as he listened to her screams. Only stupid people like her would use


    such dirty tricks to stay beside Lucius.


    Didn’t she know that Lucius hated such women the most?Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Send her away with the dogs before sunset,” Lucius instructed impatiently and strode to the helicopter.


    It rose to the air quickly, and he looked down to see the increasingly smaller figures on the ground. The


    thinner one was Violet.


    He knew from the start that Violet was not the one who pulled the needle out, but pretended not to just


    to punish her further. Of course, he also wanted her to give up on seeking death, so that he could


    continue punishing her.


    Naomi touched Violet’s face and sighed. “Why did you change your face? Your original one was just


    fine. You still look pretty, but it feels like you’re no longer my daughter.”


    Violet said nothing and just looked down.


    Naomi hugged her again. “Why are you so stupid, Agatha? Master Lucius might be busy, but he has


    never neglected you. He gave you everything you wanted, so why did you betray him?” She sighed. “I


    suppose it’s my fault for always letting you do what you wanted.”


    While lecturing Violet, she also reflected on her own actions. This had to be how a good mother should


    be.


    When she cheated on Patrick, Violet was still a baby. Then, her parents divorced. Patrick took her into


    his custody, so Violet did not even remember what her mother looked like.


    “Don’t worry. Master Lucius isn’t as heartless as he appears to be. If you show him that you’re really


    sorry. he’ll forgive you.” Naomi smoothed out Violet’s hair like she was her own daughter.


    But Violet did not hear a single thing of what she said. She just soaked in Naomi’s warmth like a


    starving man


    while recalling how Naomi had swung the stick to protect her against the dogs.


    Violet hummed and nuzzled against Naomi’s palm.


    Then, she waved Naomi goodbye and returned to Imperial Pce. The doctor inserted the IV drip in


    her again and cleaned up her wounds. After that. Violet went back to Lucius’s bedroom, cleaned


    herself up, andid


    down in her bed.


    When midnight arrived, the door creaked open, and Violet woke up with a start. She shot up from the


    bed.
