《Love after Divorce》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 It was so painful. All over her body felt like being crushed. Frowned, Violet Elliott slowly opened her eyes. What first jumped in to her sight was a man''s lean but strong pecs. And the man''s tanned skin still had some fine scratches on it. There was a man! Violet held her breath. Looking up, she saw the sleeping man''s handsome face. Prominent jaw line, thin lips, high nose ... The exquisite contours of his features were like the best work of arts. It was him! Louis Johnson! It was her husband whom she married by agreement a year ago! He was back to the country! Gasped, Violet swallowed and covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming. Gently, she got out of bed. Breeze blew outside. She opened a screen window, allowing the early morning sunlight to shine through the room. Looking at the furnishings around, she was in a luxury suite of a five-star hotel. That was hrious! Her marriage agreement with Louis was about to expire, and they had never shared a bed in a year. But in the end, she slept with him. No! Last night, she was the one who broke into his room by mistake. And it was her who hugged, kissed and teased him who was drunk. Thinking aboutst night, Violetpressed her red lips and put on her dress that was tore by the man. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound. Then she heard the man''s slightly hoarse voice from behind. "You tantalized mest night and want to get away with that?" He was awake! Violet stopped walking but didn''t turn around. "Sir, we''re adults. What happenedst night, let''s pretend it never happened." She bet that he hadn''t recognized her. Last night, she broke in without his permission. And she admitted she was the exact one who should be responsible for what happenedst night! "Heh! You''re carefree!" A ¡°pop¡± sound. Lights were turned on. Hearing the man''s low voice, she felt her arm was dragged by him. On his tall and muscr body, there was only a white bath towel around his waist. It looked like his skin was smooth. Illuminated by the light, his body was somehow arousing. And it was aggressive and extremely overwhelming as well. Violet suppressed her wild heart-beating, "What do you want? You''re a man. It''s always women who suffer." Her appearance was charming with a ravishing pair of almond eyes. But Louis'' eyes were dark, "Who are you? Why did you sneak into my roomst night?" He just returned homest night and his several old friends threw a party for him. He drank too much. In a daze, he smelled a woman''s aroma. It smelled so familiar. And the taste of her, more than anything else, made him reluctant to part with. Was she the woman he had been looking for? He really didn''t recognize her! It seemed reasonable. When she married him a year ago, she wore ugly makeup. They had only seen each other twice over the year. Each time when she showed up, she was wearing ugly makeup. Even if he was sharp-sighted, he couldn''t recognize her. Violet broke his grip and backed toward the door. "Sir, you don''t need to be nervous. Last night, it was just an ident. I''m not one of those women with ulterior motives. You can treat what happenedst night as a game between adults." The door was opened and then closed. Louis reacted and his dark eyes narrowed. She was unaffected by what happenedst night ! Louis moved but his foot stepped on an object. Slightly bending down to pick it up, he found it was a badge. Makeup artist: Helena. Outside the door, Violet let out a long breath. Wrapping her clothes tightly, she ran to the elevator with all the aches and pains. The door of a private room on one side was opened and the flirting sound of a man and a woman came out from the room. Unintentionally, Violet nced at it and her red lips tightlypressed. Here was the thing: she was a makeup artist and took an orderst night to do makeup for some models. After the event, she was being targeted by one of the organizers, who added something to her drink when used an excuse to invite her for dinner. She remembered the drink, which was handed by her husband''s sister, Jasmine Johnson. Did Jasmine conspire with the organizer to frame her up ? Violet was sulking, pulled out her cell phone and took a picture of the man and the woman who were indulging in forey. Then she turned around and continued to wait for the elevator. "Helena." A woman''s sound came from behind, and Violet looked back at her. "It''s really you!" Jasmine looked her up and down, "Helena, aren''t you good at running? Look at you. You didn''t spend thest night alone, did you?" It seemed that her suspicion was correct. Violet clenched her fist, "Miss Johnson, I have no grudge against you. Why did you frame me up?" The fact that Violet was the Mrs. Johnson was not well known. Jasmine naturally did not know her identity either. "Why? Because you are shameless and seduce my boyfriend!" Her boyfriend? Referred to Isaac Griffith? Jasmine indeed was a brutal and unreasonable youngdy. "Miss Johnson, do you suffer from paranoia? First, Isaac and I are just friends. Second, he hasn''t agreed to be your boyfriend yet. Third, you''re having so much fun with a lot of men, and you don''tck a boyfriend, do you?" Violet shook her phone. Jasmine blushed, "Did you just take a picture?" "Miss Johnson, I hope you will stop targeting me or ..." Jasmine was spoiled by her mother, Rosalie Wood. With the sound of ¡°ding¡±, the elevator door opened. Violet ignored Jasmine and prepared to enter the elevator. But the person who just came out from the elevator made her footsteps stop and her eyes flickered slightly. He was ... "Assistant Harry?" Jasmine looked at Harry Tran with wide eyes, "What are you doing here?" "Miss Johnson, Ie to deliver clothes for Mr. Johnson." Jasmine: "..." This hotel was one of the properties of the Johnson Group. There were only two rooms on this floor. So, her half-brother Louis was back? Last night, she trapped Helena, but had her sleep with Louis! In the luxury suite. Louis put on brand new clothes that Harry just gave him. His long figure usually gave people an impression of reserve and aloofness. Harry looked at the room that was in a mess. Momentarily, Harry didn¡¯t feel like to ask any question. "Do you have any news that I told you to check?" Louis inquired in a light voice as he fastened the buttons of his shirt. "Not yet." Louis had an ident four years ago and a woman saved him with her body. For the past four years, they had been looking for her. But the woman seemed to have disappeared. Louis was tidying up his clothes, and his dark eyes fell on the badge on the table. Picking it up, he yed with it. "Go check out this makeup artist who just went out of my room." There was a very familiar feeling. Could she be the person he had been looking for? "Yes." Harry paused and asked hesitantly, "Mr. Johnson, are you sure you want to divorce with your wife? The old Mrs. Johnson seems to like her very much." "The agreement expires and she is not yet worthy to be my wife." She was a recement bought with money and was kindly chosen for him by his stepmother. How can such a woman be his wife? Louis lowered his eyes, and his calm tone carried sarcasm. "Okay, I''ll inform Mrs. Johnson. No, Miss Elliott, and tell her you''ve returned home and let her wait for Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. you at the vi tonight." Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Violet was helping out in the kitchen of Tasty Interlude Bakery when she got the call from Harry. Yes. She had two identities. Under the pseudonym "Helena", she worked as a make-up artist. And as the ugly wife of the Johnson Family, she was also a pastry chef. Tasty Interlude Bakery was located just downstairs of her styling studio. No one knew her secret except for a few people who were close to her. "Miss Elliott, Mr. Johnson is back home. Please wait for him at the vi tonight." "Okay, Harry." It seemed that Louis was going to talk to her about divorce tonight! Violet hung up the phone, and her pretty eyes shed with light. When the divorce talk was over, she can regain her freedom! Then she can live with her little cutie above board! Thinking of this, she noticed there was a video call request on her phone. ncing at it, Violet was all smiles. Clicked on it. A small and pink face showed on the screen. "Mommy." "Erin." "What is Mommy doing? Are you making a delicious cake again?" "Yes, do you want to eat?" "Mmm! Mommy, Erin is drooling!" "..." This was her daughter. Four years ago, she was working in a hotel. One day. she drank too much, went to the wrong room and slept with a stranger. Panicked and ashamed. She fled the room without having a good look at the man''s face. Three monthster, she was careless enough that just realized she was pregnant. The doctor said that her uterine wall was naturally weak and if she had an abortion, it might be difficult for her to get pregnant again. And she, too, did not want to abort the fetus in her belly. At that time, she was just in her freshman year of college. However, she had to pretend to be sick and take a long break from school to give birth to her daughter secretly with the help of her bosom friend. It should be twins, but one of them died after birth ... "Mommy, Mommy!" The video came with the sound of the little girl who was calling out. Violet came back to herself andughed, "Okay, listen to Josie and don''t be naughty." The little girl was out on a trip with her bosom friend. Because she married Louis, her daughter had to be raised by her bosom friend Josie Scott. So, she must get a divorce as soon as possible. In this way, she can bring up her daughter by herself honorably! ... The night came as expected. In Lyonhall Vi. Louis looked at Violet who was sitting quietly in the living room waiting for him. Unbuttoned his cor, he sat down opposite her. She was still in that bumpkin outfit. Wore two braids and a ck rimmed sses. Her skin was dull and swarthy, with a few freckles faintly visible under her eyelids. In summer, she was still wearing unseasonable long-sleeved shirt and pants ... Violet was looking at Louis as he looked over. His customized suit made him look charming and outstanding. The aura around him was powerful, permeated with majesty of the superior. No one dared to be impetuous in front of him. She still remembered the first time when she saw him. A year ago, he had just been in a car ident. Sitting in a wheelchair, he looked at her with disgust by his cold and arrogant eyes. He said, "The doctor said I''ll probably be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life, and my sexual function is ruined. Are you sure you want to marry me?" At that time, she was not qualified to say no for some reason. "Yes, I''ll marry you." "Okay, we''ll marry by agreement. After one year, I will divorce with you. Except for the 50 million dors I give you now, and after the divorce, I will give you adequatepensation. If you are willing, sign this contract. And you''ll be the Mrs. Johnson for a year." Sheter learned that the reason he agreed to marry her was the old Mrs. Johnson was seriously ill. He needed a marriage partner, a dispensable recement that would give the old Mrs. Johnson peace of mind. For the rich women of Crotosi City, it was impossible to marry a man with disability, even if that man was a top noble person. And so, by mistake, it was her turn. "Sign it." Louis''s voice interrupted her thought. Violet looked at the divorce papers on the table and pushed her ck rimmed sses. And the corners of her mouth were turned upwards imperceptibly. "Okay." Also, there were two real estate certificates worth ten million dors and a check of ten million dors. This was the divorcepensation. Louis kept his promise and was generous with his money. Violet picked up the pen and dly signed it. Louis took a ss of water handed over by a maid and sipped it slowly. His eyes fell on Violet''s hands and he paused slightly as he drank the water. Her hands were slender and fair. And theplexion of her face was not at all of the same hue with her hands. He heard that she was a pastry chef? So the skin tone of her hands was fair just because she needed to knead dough for a long time? Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. As he was thinking about it, his cell phone rang. Louis nced at the caller ID and it was from Balridge Manor. The old Mrs. Johnson''s voice came on the line. "Louis, I heard you''re getting a divorce with Violet? If you don''t want to make it easy for your grandma, then just do it." Louis'' good-looking eyebrows instantly snapped together, and his piercing gaze fixed on Violet and suddenly turned cold. He got up, walked to the window and softened his voice, "Grandma, don''t be angry. Whom did you hear from that I''m getting a divorce?" "You don''t have to care about that. Louis, you can''t judge a book by its cover. Violet may be average looking, but she is kind. A good woman you can live peaceful life with. Promise grandma that you won''t divorce her and at least get along with her for a while before you do." Kind? She had an evil heart, right? On the one hand, she pretended to ndly promise that she would divorce. On the other hand, she deliberately told his grandmother to stop them from getting a divorce. From the moment she agreed to marry him, he could see that she was a scheming woman in particr! Louis lowered his dark eyes andpressed his thin lips. "Grandma, she''s not suitable. I have someone more suitable." He had got someone better suited? Was there a woman of his choice? Violet''s hand froze and pricked up her ears. "My heart hurts. Looks like I won''t survive this winter ..." Louis: "..." His grandma was using that trick again! Can she not joke with her body? Did she take it for granted because of his filial piety? So trying. Listening to his grandma''s tirade, Louis felt helpless butpromised: "Okay, I will not divorce for the time being, and get along with her for a while." "Well, that''s right! Where''s Violet? Is she there? Let me have a word with her." "Okay." Louis handed the phone to Violet. His eyes were cold as ice. "It''s from grandma. Be careful your words. If anything happens to her, you take the whole responsibility!" Violet: "..." Why was he being mean to her? She had always been obedient, okay? "Grandma." "Violet, are you really going to leave grandma? Are you really going to divorce my Louis?" "Ah, this, grandma ..." "Violet, listen to me. I already asked his doctor. My Louis'' bodypletely recovered. There is no problem about his fertility. So, you can not worry about the future. Do not divorce." Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Violet was wordless. Dear Grandma, she was not worried about his fertility. After all, she had already experienced it deeplyst night! Violet''s face burned a little and she just wanted to disappear. She subconsciously nced at Louis whose handsome face showed growing indifference. Did he now mean that the divorce was on hold? Can she say no? "Grandma, I''m all yours and Louis''." Obviously, she was too humble to have a right to say no. "That''s good, Violet. Have a baby with Louis soon so that I can have a great-grandchild before I die. Then, I will have no regrets." More children? She was afraid the old Mrs. Johnson''s wish will not be granted! Violet sighed in her heart, but coaxed the olddy, "Grandma, you are not allowed to say that. You will definitely live a long life." "Haha, you''re smooth-tongued." "..." Louis looked at Violet. His dark eyes were sullen. This woman was good at acting. She gained his grandma''s trust during the year! "Well, grandma. It''s gettingte. You should go to bed early." Violet hung up the phone and let out a long breath. Over the year, she had been called upon by the old Mrs. Johnson from time to time. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. The old Mrs. Johnson liked to cook delicacies when free, and Violet happened to have a knack for making food. Gradually, the two got along very well. In the Johnson Family, no one looked up to her but the old Mrs. Johnson, who treated her like her own granddaughter. "Why are you socent? Violet Elliott, I''m warning you. Don''t use my grandmother as a front to be Mrs. Johnson. Perish your wishful thinking." Louis gave a cold warning. But Violet was innocent. "Mr. Johnson, please don''t worry. I don''t want to be Mrs. Johnson at all. The divorce agreement I just signed will always be valid. Please give me some time. I will convince grandma to agree to both of us getting a divorce." What did she need the title of "Mrs. Johnson" for? She could take the money and be a rich woman fairly and squarely. And she could live with her daughter henceforward. Didn''t it feel good? If it was possible, she would like to go to the civil affairs bureau right now and finish the formalities with him! Louis'' footsteps paused and he looked back at her. His eyes were cold and sharp with mockery. He didn''t seem to believe what she said. Violet pushed her ck sses, looked at his cold and arrogant figure, and exhaled in depression. "Mrs. Johnson, please hurry upstairs and serve the young master to wash up!" It was Lucy, the servant, who was speaking. Violet''s almond eyes shed and found it both funny and annoying. "Lucy, did you tell grandma about this?" She wondered why the old Mrs. Johnson''s call was so timely. "Mrs. Johnson, the young master is a good man you can trust for the rest of your life. Please go upstairs!" Lucy didn''t answer her question, butughed and nudged Violet. Whether Louis was the person she can rely on or not, it would have nothing to do with her! Because she married into the Johnson Family as a single mom, she hid her real identity from the outside world. Now, she just wanted to disassociate herself from Louis quickly! Violet''s almond eyes shed. Giving Lucy a helpless look, she went upstairs eventually. When she stood at the door of the master''s bedroom, she was hesitated whether she should go in or not. This was their wedding room. But over a year, she basically did not live here much. Even at night, she slept in the guest room. At that moment, the door was opened and Louis''s tall figure appeared in the doorway. His eyes were still cold. "What are you doing standing at the door of my room? Violet, you should have self-awareness. Do you think I''ll be obsessed with your ugly face?" Violet was silent. It was him who held herst night and didn''t let go! She really wanted to take off her makeup right now and embarrass him! "Mr. Johnson, I swear. If I covet you, let me go out and be killed by thunder!" BOOM! There was a thunderp outside. Immediately afterwards, it rained heavily. Violet: "..." She swore she was telling the truth! She really didn''t fall in love with him! "It seems that God do the answering for you." Louis raised one side of his mouth and said mockingly: "OK, you''re keen to approach me and I don''t even bother with you. It seems impolite. So, I want to take a bath. Prepare bath water for me." He was treating her like a servant. Violet swung her fist towards the man''s back. Louis suddenly turned his head as if he had eyes in the back. Violet hurriedly squeezed out a fake smile and pretended to fix her hair. Louis gave her a cold look and didn''t unmask her little move. Sitting on the couch like a boss, he was waiting for her to serve him. Violet resigned herself to go to the bathroom and helped him prepare his toiletries. Back and forth. Her fragrance floated in the air. And it smelled good Louis'' eyes subconsciously fell on the busy woman. Her limbs were slender. Although her clothes was out of date, she had a special charm when she was walking. Not to see her face, just look at her back. She can definitely make people take her for a beauty. Just like ... His mind inexplicably shed a clear face. Louis'' dark eyes narrowed as he slowly got up and made his way to the bathroom. At this time, Violet was testing the water temperature. She sat on her knees in front of the bathtub, revealing her thin and fair waist when she outstretched her arms. Under the light, the skin on her waist was fair and lovely, emitting porcin''s glow. "Well, that''s enough." Violet was concentrating on the water, not noticing that he was staring at her intently from behind. So when she got up and saw Louis standing behind her, only a few centimeters away, she let out a startled cry and unconsciously stepped back. In the back was the bathtub. Just heard a sound of flutter and ssh. Violet: "..." He was like a ghost, standing behind her without making any noise! She didn''t want to get a heart attack by that! After she got up in disarray, she stared at Louis and called out, "Mr. Johnson, why did youe in here so quietly?" Louis'' gaze wandered over her soaked body and the graceful curves outlined by water. "I am the owner of the room. Do I need to ask your permission toe in? It''s you, instead, who want to y game of wet seduction," said Louis whose voice was a little hoarse. Violet: "..." His imagination should not be so rich! "Mr. Johnson, you think too much. I just saw something that didn''t look like a human appearing behind me and I was startled. I''ve prepared the toiletries for you. As for the bath water, you can do it yourself. I''ll go to my room and clean up." She cursed him for not being a human! This woman. What she said was quite sharp. Louis watched Violet leave and his dark eyes narrowed. Why did she inexplicably remind him of Helena, the woman fromst night? Why was the skin on her body, a hundred times better than the skin on her face? In the guest room, Violet took off her soaked clothes and let out a long breath. Game of wet seduction? He really thought too much! Time will tell! All she wanted was a divorce and to live the rest of her life happily ever after with her Erin! TICK. There was a message on her phone. Violet saw it and her eyebrows softened It was a photo sent by her bosom friend. On the photo, a little girl was sleeping soundly. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 The following day. Louis came downstairs. Smelling the aroma of food in the air, he suddenly felt hungry. "Young master, you have stomach trouble. Pleasee and have breakfast." Lucy respectfully gestured to Louis and told him to the dining room for breakfast. "Thanks, Lucy." Louis sat down and saw only his own set of tableware. The woman was not there? And he didn''t want to see her either. "Young master, does the breakfast taste good?" "Well, Lucy, you''re a good cook. The food is so tasty." Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. The breads were fluffy and delicious, and the porridge was sweet. He hadn''t had a breakfast he liked for a long time. "Young Master, Mrs. Johnson made all the breakfast today. Lucy spoke with a smile, "Once Mrs. Johnson heard that you have a weak stomach, she specially got up early and made these breakfasts for you before she went out." Louis'' good-looking eyebrows instantly wrinkled. He was eating a slice of bread. Should he swallow it? Or spit it out? So this was another one of that woman''s tricks to get her attention? To win a man''s heart, you needed to win a man''s stomach first? ... At the Tasty Interlude Bakery. Violet watched the pastries that were all ready and took off her mask in relief. The pastries that her clients ordered were finally ready in a hurry. Looking at the time, she took off her apron and hurriedly ran to the styling studio on the second floor. She was busy all by herself as a make-up artist and pastry chef. But fortunately, she had a number ofpetent employees to help her. She was going to the Century Entertainment Company, a subsidiary of the Johnson Group, to negotiate the make-up business. And Jasmine''s assistant happened to order these pastries, so she wanted to deliver them herself. Violet grabbed her belongings and set off in her car. The Johnson Group was located in a busy shopping street. Its shiny logo glistened under the sun. Violet entered the group with arge bag and went up to the twenty-eighth floor after exining her intention with the receptionist. "Miss Hawkins, the pastries you ordered are here." La Hawkins was Jasmine''s assistant. Violet put her things down and greeted. "Well, just put it there." The assistant gave her a cold response. "Then I''m going out." Violet was ready to go to the marketing department. "Helena, who let you in?" Jasmine came in on her high heels. Seeing Violet was there, she shouted loudly. "Your assistant La ordered pastries from Tasty Interlude Bakery. And the bakery is downstairs from my styling studio. I am here to do some business, so I stopped by to have them delivered." Violet exined lightly, then crossed Jasmine''s side to leave. "Tasty Interlude Bakery? Isn''t that where that ugly monster Violet works?" Jasmine had her arms crossed with an arrogant look on her face, "You know that ugly monster Violet well? It''s true that birds of a feather flock together." Hearing these words, Violet''s footsteps pause slightly. She didn''t turn around, butughed lightly in mockery, "Yeah, I just like dealing with people who are beautiful at heart. It''s much more pleasant getting along with them rather barbarians who are full of shit and have no quality." "You, you dare to scold me!" "So, you admit to being unqualified and uncultivated?" "You! Helena, I''ll hit you up!" Jasmine, being annoyed, looked around and took a teapot to smash it towards Violet. Violet turned around at the sound of movement and watched it as the teapot came at her head. There was boiling hot water in there. She''ll get scalded! At that moment, a ck shadow fiercely dragged her to the side and protected her in his arms ... "BANG!" The teapot fell to the floor, smashed into pieces and the water sshed all over the ground. Violet was dumbfounded for a moment and looked up at the person and saw Louis'' rigid jawline. At the critical moment, it was he who protected her! "Louis?" Jasmine froze and her arrogance instantly dissipated when she saw Louising. Louis'' sharp eyes swept over to her, "As the daughter of the Johnson Family and a senior member of thepany, is it decent to lose your temper in thepany?" "She''s the one who scolded me." Jasmine was unconvinced and pointed at Violet. "Did she say anything wrong? No matter what she does, Violet is your sister-inw. And what did you call her?" Louis'' voice was cold and deep, surrounded by the intimidating power of anger. Jasmine didn''t say anything, but there was disdain all over her face. Louis ignored her again and let go of Violet. His cold breath slightly restrained, "Follow me." Violet smoothed out her disheveled hair and followed him. "Manager Jasmine, is Mr. Johnson going to officially take over the domestic market from today?" The assistant had someone clean up the debris on the floor and asked carefully. "Humph, an illegitimate son, but live a good life!" Howe the car ident a year ago didn''t kill him? Was that ugly monster really a blessing? Since Violet married into the Johnson Family, the olddy got better and Louis was recovered from the ident! But now that Helena was having an affair with Louis, and that ugly monster might still be left in the dark! Violet looked around and the corners of her mouth curled up. At the President''s office of the Johnson Group. Violet watched the man gracefully take his seat, "Mr. Johnson, thank you." Louis nced at her, "I don''t like to owe you a favor. Although you took the initiative the night before, you''re right, it''s always women who suffer." So, he just helped her because he slept with her the night before? Violet was speechless. "Do you have something to talk to me? If there''s nothing, I''ll leave first." "Wait." Louis got up, walked over to Violet and looked her up and down. The woman had shoulder-length ck hair, good look and a petite figure. This height, this proportion ... Another person''s figure shed suddenly in his mind. Obviously they were twopletely different faces, but he somehow felt simr. The man''s gaze was too burning, and his dark eyes were like a deep pool. Violet''s hair stood on end and she subconsciously took a step backward to protect her chest. "Why are you looking at me like that? I''m warning you, even though you just helped me, I said thank you, and we don''t owe each other anymore." Louis froze and watched her defensiveness with a yful glint in his eye. He stepped closer to her, "What do you think I want to do to you? With your little-man-like body, if I hadn''t drunk too much, what do you think I will do to you?" Violet: "..." Little-man-like body? She obviously had everything she needed. Although she was a little small, her breast were not small at all ! "If I wasn''t delirious, just like you, do you think I will touch you?" Violet straightened her back and showed no weakness. Louis'' dark eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth curled up evilly. He leaned in slightly, and his thin lips exhaled a dangerous breath, "Oh? You said you don''t like me. So tell me. What kind of man would you like?" Chapter 5 Chapter 5 The man''s eyes were deep and dark. The hot air he exhaled sprayed thinly on her face, tickling. Violet''s legs were a little weak and her body couldn''t stop leaning back, trying to pull away from it. "Mr. Johnson, we don''t know each other well enough to be friends." "Oh? Don''t know each other well? Then why don''t we just have sex a few more times and we''ll be friends." "Mr. Johnson, uh ..." Violet was unsteady on her feet and fell backwards at once. Her hands, subconsciously tried to grab something as a support. Behind her was the couch, and by the time she reacted, she tugged Louis by thepels and fell onto the couch together with him. He was up, and she was down. They watched each other. Their breaths intertwined, as if they can hear each other''s heartbeat. Embarrassed, Violet blushed and pushed his chest. "Mr. Johnson, get up. You''re crushing me." "Heh, I just suggested it. I didn''t expect Miss Helena to be so impatient." Violet: "..." She was not! He was full of shit! Louis slowly got up and looked at her reddened face from above, and his Adam''s apple rolled slightly. It seemed that he had not slept with a woman for so long so he was inexplicably interested in her. Violet scrambled to her feet and straightened her clothes. "Mr. Johnson, it was just a misunderstanding. I swear, I have no feelings for you whatsoever. I have something to do. I''ll leave first." It was really embarrassing. She hoped Louis won''t think she was taking the opportunity to hit on him! She swore that she just wanted to stay away from him. "I swear, if I''m interested in you, let me go out and be kill by thunder!" Such a phrase suddenly burst into Louis'' mind. His dark eyes narrowed and he called out to Violet, "Stop." Violet''s footsteps were halted and she turned to look at Louis with a wary face. "Anything else?" "Did you just help Violet with the pastries? You know her well?" Violet and Helena were the same person. Was it considered that she knew her well? Violet''s eyes shed, "Yes, we are very good friends. I know everything about her, and she knows everything about me. It can be said that we are indistinguishable from each other." Indistinguishable from each other? Louis narrowed his dark eyes, and his gaze that fell on her was sharp, as if he wanted to see her through. Violet was a little scared. She was about to say something but her cell phone rang out in her bag. Violet froze, and her eyes subconsciously fell on one of her hands. She was holding a cell phone in her hand, but apparently, it wasn''t the phone that was ringing. Violet nced at Louis and could clearly feel the probing look in his eyes. She smiled dryly and pretended to be calm, "Mr. Johnson, I have to go to the marketing department to discuss a make-up order. The appointment time ising up. I''ll leave first." This man''s eyes were too sharp. In front of him, she had to be cautious and cautious again. She was determined not to reveal herself! She wished the divorce could be finalized quickly. She could not dress as another person too! Watching the woman leave at a fast pace, Louis'' dark eyes were deep in concentration. Was her business so busy? That she needed two phones? Intuition told him that this woman was not simple! Louis pulled out his phone, " Harry, check someone out for me ..." Outside. Violet took her other cell phone out of her bag and wrinkled her brow slightly when she saw that it was a call from Jasmine. The cell phone in the bag was what she used for contact people when she was Violet. What was Jasmine doing and calling her out of the blue? Violet walked to the corner and picked up the phone. "Hello?" "Ugly, what are you up to? What took you so long to answer my call?" What a rude tone! C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Violet''s face was slightly cold, "Missy, if you have time, go to an etiquette ss and let teachers teach you properly how to be ady of note." "You, you dare to lecture me?" "Is something wrong? I gotta go." Violet didn''t bother to talk to her and tried to hang up the phone. "Violet, I kindly remind you to be careful of your good friend who was cheating on you. Ask Helena where she went the day before yesterday." Jasmine screamed on the phone. Violet froze, and the corners of her mouth curled lightly. So it was to stir up trouble. Unfortunately, Jasmine never expected that Violet and Helena were the same person. "Thanks for the reminder. I have things to do. I''ll hang up now." "Hey, you ..." Jasmine listened to the beeping sounding from the receiver and mmed her phone down in anger. Didn''t the ugly even ask her what she knew? Although Louis did not consider her as his wife at all, her husband slept with her bosom friend, and she really did not mind at all? Violet didn''t bother to pick up Jasmine''s provocations, put her phone away and went to the marketing department. "Hello, I''m looking for Manager Jacob." She was taking the Johnson Group''s artist styling business of thetter half of the year. Once the business was taken, she will have enough money to buy a small house this year. "Miss Helena is here? Please sit down and wait a moment." Manager Jacob was talking to a man in a suit. The man nced at Violet, and there was interest shed in his slender eyes. "Okay." Violet smiled and nced at the man, lowering her eyes slightly. This was Cooper Burke, the General Manager of the Century Entertainment Company and Jasmine''s cousin. A yboy who spent most of his time with women. "Manager Jacob, don''t keep the pretty girl waiting." Cooper acted like a gentleman, scanning back and forth over Violet''s body. Violet just felt creeped like she was being watched by a viper. "Yes, Mr. Burke, take your time." The director sent Cooper out and went into the conference room with Violet to talk about business. After somemunication, the two reached a preliminary agreement. "Miss Helena, I''m very optimistic about your styling studio. I''ll talk to you for further detail when I''ve drawn up a formal contract." "Good, then I''ll be waiting to hear from you." Violet was delighted and said goodbye to the person in charge before heading the group''s front door. When she got into the car, the phone in her bag rang again. Violet took it out and looked at it. It was the old Mrs. Johnson''s call. "Grandma?" "Violet, remember to go back to Balridge Manor early tonight. Since Louis is back home, we are going to have a family reunion dinner together." To Balridge Manor for dinner tonight? Well, she should go to Balridge Manor and persuade the old Mrs. Johnson step by step to agree the divorce between Louis and her. ... Sunset glow was sprinkling with soft light. Located halfway up the hill of western suburbs, the manor was uniquely built. This was the Balridge Manor. It covered thousand square meters. The privacy was excellent, even the way up the mountain was located in a particrly secluded ce. Violet, wearing dark-framed sses and ugly makeup as usual, entered the door of the estate. Looking at the magnificent building, shepressed her lips as she thought of how she almost got lost on her first visit. She was amoner, but was fortunate to see the prosperity of the top gentry. It was considered that she, the ordinary person, widened her horizon. The front of the main vi had arge garden and there were a lot of trees surrounded. Walking along the promenade, the breeze blew slowly and the air was fragrant with the scent of flowers. Violet sniffed lightly and took in the beauty of the estate. Suddenly, someone stepped out from a tree and pulled her inward with one hand. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Violet eximed, "Who are you? Let go of me! Or I''ll call out for someone!" The man dragged her to a leafy tree, "Hush, Violet, don''t make a sound. It''s me." It was Cooper? What did he want? Violet red at him, "Mr. Burke, what do you want?" "Violet, so you still remember me? That makes sense because I am so charming. It''s hard for you not to remember me." Cooper smiled smugly and moved his hands unruly up her waist. Disgusting yboy. Did he want to tell her that he was interested in her? Now she was a bumpkin. Did he have to be so horny? Violet stomped down her foot on his hard. "Mr. Burke, please behave yourself." "Hiss!" Cooper felt the pain and let go of Violet, clutching his foot and grunting. "You''re so grumpy! But I like it." "Mr. Burke, are you highly nearsighted? How can you like me?" Violet mocked as she straightened her clothes. Cooper groaned for a moment and slowly approached her. "Violet, since you know you don''t look good, you should be grateful to me. It''s your blessing that I''m interested in you and let you be my woman." This woman was ugly, but her body was delicate and lovely. Her waist and hip. Her back looked even more seductive. He had been drooling over her for quite some time and was looking for a chance to sleep with her. Louis the punk was back. She was Louis'' wife, but he wanted to get his hands on her even more. Cooper''s eyes roamed over Violet''s body recklessly, as if he wanted to strip her naked. Violet felt disgusting in her heart. "Mr. Burke, please show some respect to me. My husband is back. I will tell him you molested me." "Yo, you''re threatening me?" Cooper mocked lightly, "Violet, with your punk husband, you think he can really stand up for you? For a year, he probably didn''t even bother to look at you, right? You are a woman. You also have needs. Don''t you want a man when it''s at night? "Louis, he had a car ident before and is impotent. You''d better be with me!" Cooper grabbed Violet''s hand as he spoke, and his other hand touched her body. Violet tried desperately to break free from him. "Cooper, my husband is fine! He''s strong and not a loser like you. I warn you don''t mess around. He''ll be here soon, and if he finds out you molested me, he''ll make you feel sorry!" "Violet, don''t be shameless! Louis is just a loser. If you obey me, I guarantee you will have endless glory and wealth in the future." Cooper confined Violet and let her struggle, but did not let go. Violet was angry and anxious. Feeling the man''s hands touching her body, she desperately tried to escape, but there was strength disparity between men and women. "Cooper, let me go! If you don''t let go, I''ll really shout!" "Shout it out! When the timees, I''ll tell everyone that it was you who seduced me. Let''s see if people will believe you, an ugly bitch, or my words?" Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. "You!" Violet was furious, and just then she vaguely saw a figureing over with nting shadow. The tall figure, full of fury, was like a demon from hell. "Louis!" "Heh, Violet, at this time, whom you call is useless, or obediently from ... Ah!" Cooper didn''t finish his words, only to feel a huge pain in his arm. A miserable scream rang out, and Cooper had been flung away. The man stepped forward and grabbed Cooper by thepels. He beat on him with fists. "Ah, stop fighting! Help!" Cooper was beaten and cried out until he was dying. Violet saw Cooper was out of breath and quickly pulled Louis''s hand, "Stop fighting, if you keep doing, you''re going to kill him!" Louis was still covered with hostility. He threw Cooper away with a chilling tone. "Bastard, how dare you behave atrociously in the Johnson Family''s domain? Who gave you the guts?!" Cooper rolled his eyes and let out a long breath of relief. By this time, the servant who heard themotion had already gone to invite Rosalie over. Together with Jasmine. Upon seeing Cooper lying on the ground like mud, Rosalie shouted, "Cooper, who did this to you!" Cooper was helped up by two servants and wailed with difficulty, "Aunt, if youe a littleter, I will be killed by Louis!" Rosalie changed her facial expression and turned her head to look at Louis. "Louis, why are you doing this to Cooper? He''s your cousin!" "My cousin? Sorry, my mom only has one sister. My aunt doesn''t have a son like that trash." Louis drew out a wet paper towel, slowly and methodically wiped his slender fingers. His words were full of arrogance and contempt. "You!" Rosalie stared at Louis and was unable to speak. Cooper was her nephew. She always treated Cooper as if he was her own child because she had no biological son. Louis, her stepson, did no regard him for his rtives. That was to say, she was not taken into ount at all! "Cooper, how serious a crime have youmitted? Louis is going to beat you to death for what?" Jasmine had actually known some of the truth from the servant''s mouth and deliberately inquired. Cooper''s swollen eyes shed and his finger pointed to Violet, who was standing beside Louis, without saying a word. "It was Violet who seduced me! Louis misunderstood me and beat me up like this!" Violet: "..." This disgusting Cooper was actually backtracking! "Cooper, it''s obvious that you''re the one who''s horny! Are you still a man? Dare do it but dare not admit?" Violet looked at Cooper with a disgusted look on her face. "Look at yourself. You make me disgusting. Am I attracted to you? Violet, who believes it?" Cooper, relying on the fact that no one was there before, quibbled slyly. "You ..." She had never seen such a despicable and shameless man! "As long as it''s what she says, I believe it." Louis spoke in a cold voice, "Cooper, I am not blind. You can try bullshitting in front of me again!" The man''s face was sullen and cold, and his tone was full of warnings. Cooper unconsciously cringed and was speechless for a moment. Violet looked at Louis with some surprise and was slightly moved. She didn''t expect he would believe her words unconditionally. Also unconditionally defended her! "Cooper, you''re too horny! You are even interested in her?" Jasmine''s eyes rolled and she gave Violet and Louis a meaningful look, "Well at least you should learn from Louis and sleep a woman a hundred times prettier than her for fun." She was telling everyone that Louis was cheating on Violet! And Louis was not qualified to lecture Cooper! Chapter 7 Chapter 7 "Jasmine, what are you talking about? Louis was cheating on Violet?" Rosalie asked in surprise. "Yes, it happened in the luxury suite of our hotel." Jasmine looked over at Violet and gave a mocking smile, "Violet, you and Helena are good friends, aren''t you? Didn''t I tell you to ask her about what happened with my brother? Did you go and do it or not?" This was a deliberate attempt to create embarrassment for her and Louis! Violet''s fingers curled slightly, "I didn''t ask her, but she told me everything. She said that she was set up by you and identally got into my husband''s room. Oh, she even sent me a video of you spending the night with a man." Since Jasmine didn''t want her to have a good time here, then she just needed to reveal Jasmine''s affair as well. "You ..." Jasmine blushed and automatically turned a deaf ear to Violet''s words. "Since you know Helena slept with your husband, you are actually not angry? Let me tell you, Helena must approach and befriend you on purpose. She is looking for a chance to squeeze you out of your position!" This ugly monster didn''t y by the rules! Her bosom friend slept with her husband, and she was actually indifferent about it! "Jasmine, I hate people who frame Helena more than the fact that I knew she slept with my husband!" Violet nced at her, and her voice was a little cold. Jasmine snorted lightly, "Violet, you''re really stupid. Is it because you are ugly that you are so generous, willing to share even your husband with your friends!?" "Jasmine, you don''t have to stir up trouble." Violet said, "I hope you won''t target Helena again, or I won''t mind letting everyone in high society know Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. how raunchy the private life of the daughter of the Johnson Family is." "Violet, don''t you dare threaten me?" "If you think so, then that is a threat." "You ..." "Okay, Jasmine, stop it." Seeing that her daughter had fallen behind, Rosalie spoke up in a hurry. "Mom, look at her ..." Jasmine took Rosalie''s arm with a look of exasperation. Rosalie patted her hand and stared at Violet with coldness. "Violet, I let you marry into the Johnson Family because of your gentle and virtuous nature. Look at you now, you don''t know how to behave yourself. You don''t know right from wrong. Don''t you want to stay in the Johnson Family anymore?" What she said was serious. med her for all the faults. med her for seducing Cooper. med her for biting back at Jasmine. Rosalie was really good at reversing ck and white. Violetpressed her red lips, and did not speak. "Rosalie, Violet is my wife, and it should be up to me to decide if she can stay at the Johnson Family." Louis, who had not spoken, suddenly took Violet by the shoulders, and his voice was deep and cold. Violet''s body stiffened and doubted her ears a little. She turned her head slightly and saw the man''s jaw, perfect and elegant. Just like a knight, he guarded his side of the territory. Rosalie''s face didn''t look too good, "Louis, I don''t want to get in between you and your wife. Violet is now the daughter-inw of the Johnson Family and she''s misbehaving, so it''s righteous that I scold her." "Misbehaving? Rosalie, are you really going to describe my wife with that term?" Louis''s cold eyes took a nce at Cooper. Rosalie knew what was good and did not continue. "All right, let''s end this matter for today. If you go on, do you want to rm Grandma and make her blood pressure soar?" She was using Grandma''s health to pressure them. For the sake of Grandma, they certainly can''t continue to hold on to Cooper any longer. Violet only felt Louis put his hands on her shoulders. With much strength, he spped her shoulders. The temperature around his body seemed to have dropped a few degrees. She knew that Louis was angry. "Go, take him for the medicine." Rosalie instructed the servants to take Cooper away. Cooper grunted in pain, and his swollen eyes glimpsed Louis with a provocative smile. It seemed to say, "Look, someone is backing me up. What can you do to me? Violet felt the breath of the man beside her grow colder. She looked sideways and saw the man''s thin lipspressed into a straight line. Extremely tolerant. "Mr. Johnson, thank you for helping me just now." After Rosalie and Jasmine left, Violet thanked Louis. Louis'' hand moved away from her shoulders, and his face was still cold. "No need to thank me. Helping you is only because you upy the title of my wife and bullying you is tantamount to challenging my authority." That made sense. Louis and his stepmother didn''t get along, and she and he were on the same side for now. Violet''s mind was clear. "But ugly and still so restless. Violet, you''ve got a real knack for it." The man nced at her with a tone full of mockery. Violet: "..." There was always a way for him to let her discard so much good feeling towards him. "Mr. Johnson, you said it yourself that you are not blind. What happened today should not be my fault, right?" She was innocent, okay? It was obviously Cooper''s fault! "Things must have a reason." Louis said coldly, "Violet, I have reasons to suspect that you can not bear to be lonely, so you go to tease Cooper." Violet: "..." He was not able to judge based on facts and turned ck and white in order to nder her at will. "Mr. Johnson, you''re unbelievable! If women hit on you, do I have reason to suspect that you must be too flirtatious and give people the signal to hit on you!?" Louis: "..." How dare she consider him flirtatious! This woman was so eloquent! Louis stared at the woman who slightly raised her chin from anger, and something shed in his deep eyes. "What did you say to Cooper? I''m good, and how do you know that?" Violet: "..." He actually heard it! Then he should know that this was just her way to irritate Cooper! "No, Mr. Johnson ..." "Well, you haven''t slept with me so you don''t know if I am good or not. But your good friend did, so she''s the one who told you about it?" Louis got closer to her, and his dark eyes were looking straight at her, as if to see her through. Violet''s ears were hot and her head was unconsciously tilted back. "That, you listen to me ..." "Violet, it looks like you and your bosom friend have a really good rtionship! As Jasmine said, good enough to share a man?" Louis''s strong arms wrapped around her slender waist, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing a touch of heart-stopping evil. Violet just felt her heart pounding, like it was going to jump out of her chest. She wrenched his arms away from her and took two quick steps backwards. "Mr. Johnson, you misunderstood. Helena said that the night was just an ident. She has forgotten about it. Please forget about it too. And I''m going to divorce you, so it is impossible to share a man with Helena." This demon man! Why did she feel that he meant something? Could he have sensed something? Violet''s eyes shed and she turned and walked quickly forward. The woman''s waist was slim, walking in a charming way. This walking posture ... Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Violet''s back, and what shed through his mind was a message from his assistant about Helena. No useful information was found except that she was from Eleaviel. Was that woman so mysterious? Was she a big shot? Or the information was fake? In the hall, the old Mrs. Johnson was helped by a servant to sit on a sofa. Leon, the host of the Johnson Family, also came down from the upstairs. Violet entered the door, greeted him, and then walked over to the old Mrs. Johnson. "Grandma." "Violet, have a seat." The old Mrs. Johnson let Violet sit down affectionately, all smiles. At that moment, Louis also came in. After greeting Leon, he also sat beside the old Mrs. Johnson. "Now I''m happy. Look at my grandson and granddaughter-inw. What a match!" Violet: "..." Crowd: "..." The old Mrs. Johnson had a problem with her eyes some time ago and couldn''t see things very clearly. Well, it seemed that the drugs had no effect! C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Violet smiled, and her eyes unconsciously cast to the side of Louis, but saw him staring at her. The deep eyes were filled with mockery. Why was he mocking her? It was not like she made Grandma think this way! "Dad, are you feeling better?" Louis walked over to Leon''s side and made small talk with him. Violet''s eyes withdrew from him and looked at the old Mrs. Johnson. The old Mrs. Johnson was smiling and holding her hand. "Violet, from now on, Louis will officially take over the domestic market of the Johnson Group, so you two won''t have to live apart. You and Louis have to work hard. I''m looking forward to seeing my future great-grandchild." It was that topic again! Violet was a little embarrassed. "Grandma, do you remember the TV show you watched two days ago? In the show, a young couple became enemies because of their broken rtionship and ended up making a mess of the family. Grandma definitely doesn''t want to see this kind of thing happen to us." The old Mrs. Johnson liked to watch TV shows. She deliberately cited a TV show to dissuade the old Mrs. Johnson. Together, she and Louis would be enemies with each other. "You''re smart ." The old Mrs. Johnsonughed and looked at Louis, who was talking to Leon Johnson not far away. "Louis has a cold face but a warm heart, while you are gentle and kind, so you are a perfect match together." Violet: "..." A perfect match!? The old Mrs. Johnson really thought too highly of them! Violet lost her smile, touched her face, and deliberately said, "But grandma, I''m not good-looking enough for him, and if we are together, I will only make him lose face." In other people''s eyes, her appearance didn''t match with Louis''. Of course, Louis was the good-looking one. She was an ugly pig. "Violet, every wise men know it is necessary to have a good wife." The old Mrs. Johnson looked at Violet, "Think of the not-so-pretty-looking women who have gone down in history. What''s more, is my Violet really that ugly?" The olddy had a smiling look. Her eyes cannot see clearly, but at the moment shone with a shrewd light. Violet''s heart skipped a beat, inexplicably with a guilty conscience. Why did she think the old Mrs. Johnson knew something? "Grandma, can we start the dinner? I''m hungry." Jasmine''s voice came from the dining room and the old Mrs. Johnson patted Violet''s hand, "Come on, let''s have the dinner." "Okay." Violet helped the old Mrs. Johnson walk in the direction of the dinning room. It seemed that the old Mrs. Johnson had a long way to go to convince her not to divorce Louis. The Johnsons were all seated. Violet habitually serve the old Mrs. Johnson a bowl of soup first. "Violet, this is Louis'' favorite soup too." The old Mrs. Johnson took the bowl of soup and spoke with a smile on her face. Was this a hint for her to serve Louis soup as well? Helpless, Violet looked at the man sitting beside her and obediently served him a bowl of soup. "Mr. Johnson, here." Louis didn''t say anything and took the bowl. "Violet, what did you call him?" The old Mrs. Johnson took a sip of the soup and raised her eyes. Violet froze, reacting to the fact that she had just called him "Mr. Johnson" out of habit. "Louis, have some soup." The old Mrs. Johnson, can you stop staring at me? "Violet, what kind of person is Louis to you?" The old Mrs. Johnson, apparently not knowing what Violet had in mind, asked again with a smile on her face. "It''s ... My husband." Violet replied stiffly. "Well, that''s right! Look how loving the young couple is!" Violet: "..." The Johnsons: "..." Just serving him with a bowl of soup and calling him husband can be considered to love? The old Mrs. Johnson''sprehension was not quite the same as other people! "Ugly people always make a lot of noise." Jasmine couldn''t stand this kind of bragging and snorted lightly. Leon gave a nce at Jasmine with a warning in his eyes. Jasmine pursed and didn''t say another words. Across the table, Louis finished his soup, picked up his chopsticks and put food in Violet''s bowl. "Eat more, you''re too skinny." The man''s tone was soft, and his eyes were full of warmth. It was like an attentive husband caring for his beloved wife. Violet knew he was deliberately putting on a show in front of the Johnsons, but her heart still skipped a beat. Louis was definitely a good actor if he worked in the acting industry. The old Mrs. Johnson watched the interaction between the two with a smile in her eyes. "Louis, it''s been a long time since you don''t live in the Balridge Manor with me. Tonight, you two should not go back and stay at Balridge Manor with me for one night." Coughed. Violet almost spit out a mouthful of soup. She hastily covered her mouth and coughed until her face was red. Louis raised an eyebrow and reached up to pat her back. "As soon as you heard you will stay with grandma, you got so excited?" Yes! How can she not be excited? If she stayed at Balridge Manor, wouldn''t she have to share a room with him!? She didn''t want it! Violet couldn''t eat anymore. Only the old Mrs. Johnson, who was extra happy today, ate more than usual. "Louis,e upstairs with me and keep talking about thepany''s business." After eating, Leon gestured for Louis to follow him upstairs. Louis nced at Violet and smiled gently, "I''ll be right there. You behave yourself downstairs." Violet: "..." Was this man addicted to acting? Didn''t he feel embarrassed when he showed her excessive attention? "Violet, go to the kitchen and prepare some fruit." Rosalie watched coldly as Louis went upstairs and asked Violet to prepare fruit. "Okay." Violet nodded and went into the kitchen. "Violet, remember who chose you to enter the Johnson Family in the first ce. Who gave you the good life you have now? You''d better get it straight, or I''ll torture you in a hundred ways." Rosalie''s warning voice came from behind with a viciousness. Violet cut the fruit and her red lips lightlypressed. Chapter 9 Chapter 9 She knew that Rosalie let her marry into the Johnson Family because of her ugly appearance, which could be very effective in humiliating to Louis, her stepson. In her mind, she and Violet should be on the same side. But today, her performance certainly did not satisfy her. Rosalie was not a good woman. Violet''s mind shed back to the Johnson Family''swork of connections. Rosalie and Leon united by marriage for the sake of the Johnson Group. Leon had a girlfriend in love, Isabelle Riley, Louis'' biological mother, before they got married. Isabelle grew up in an ordinary family. Because of family interests, Leon eventually broke up with her. But she was pregnant at the time. Isabelle did not tell Leon that she was pregnant, but chose to give birth to Louis secretly. It was not until Louis was five years old that Leon discovered the secret. Leon wanted to divorce Rosalie, who had never been pregnant, and marry Isabelle. Only Rosalie was no good, and threatened Isabelle to leave the city. Isabelle was a woman of character who did not want to use her son as an excuse to marry into a C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. wealthy family, but chose to take him away. But on the way there was a car ident. Isabelle held Louis in her arms, but she died from the severe injuries. Thus, Louis was taken back to Balridge Manor and kept by the old Mrs. Johnson. Louis, although illegitimate, was Leon''s only son. Rosalie always saw him as a thorn ... It was said that the rtionship between a stepchild and a stepmother was always inferior to the rtionship between a biological mother and a son. What was more, it happened in a rich and powerful family. Violet went out of the kitchen with a fruit tray, silently praying that the divorce would be quick. She, a weak and innocent person, didn''t want to get caught in the domestic dispute and suffer. The sound of high heels rang out and Jasmine appeared in front of her. Violet raised her eyes and met her disgusted look. Jasmine crossed over her pompously, not forgetting to give her a hard bump. Violet''s eyes shed and dumped the fruit all over Jasmine. "Ah! Violet, what are you doing?" "Sorry, I didn''t hold it steadily!" She was the one who came here to seek trouble! Violet thought it as a payback for her who framed her before! "Violet, you did that on purpose! I''m so mad at you. Just wait. I''m going to teach you a lesson!" Jasmine was furious, pointed at Violet and screamed at her, then went upstairs to change her clothes. Violet pushed the lenses with an innocent face, and slowly cleaned up the debris on the floor with the servants. ... At nightfall. The secluded estate fell into silence. In a tastefully decorated room, Violet watched Louis get into the washroom with a change of clothes. Scratching her head, Violet only felt it troublesome. Balridge Manor was full of servants and she had to sleep in a room with Louis. It seemed that tonight, she cannot remove her makeup and will have to sleep with ugly makeup. TICK. A message was on the phone. Violet nced at it, and her eyes were shing slightly. The message was sent by her bosom friend. She said someone was investigating on Helena''s profile. The person who investigated her was Louis'' man! Could Louis really be suspicious of her identity?! Fortunately, her friend had made thorough arrangements. But Louis'' insight was really too strong. She was really afraid that her disguise would soon be uncovered in front of him. Violet let out a long breath and pondered as the man came out of the bathroom. Wearing a white bathrobe, it revealed his pectoral muscle. With a towel in his hand, he was wiping his wet hair. Violet hastily lowered her eyes, and dodged from seeing him. "You''re done? Then I''ll go in and take a shower." She unconsciously recalled the night when she identally slept with him, and her ears turned red. Louis didn''t say anything, watching Violet enter the bathroom with a hurried gait. No emotion was visible on his handsome face. He poured himself a ss of wine and sat leisurely on the sofa. Twenty minutester. Violet came out. Her hair was unwashed and she still wore the ck-framed sses. And she wore long-sleeved clothes and pants of the same style as before. Louis sized her up, with his long fingers ying with the ss. "Violet, although you''re ugly, you don''t even stress on hygiene? Are you a real woman?" Violet: "..." Such a mean man! No others here. Finally he did not pretend to be tender! "I just washed my hair yesterday. It''s not dirty. Of course, if Mr. Johnson doesn''t mind, why don''t you sleep in a different room?" She was wearing ugly makeup, and although her makeup was waterproof, she still wanted to take it off tonight. She was afraid that the more she did, the easier it would be for Louis to see her weak point. Her gaze behind the lenses showed a hint of anticipation. Expected him to leave the room. Louis'' corners of mouth was lightly hooked. He put down his ss and came to Violet. Long, slender fingers caressed her face. "Violet, are you nervous about being with me? Are you feeling inferior because you''re so ugly? Don''t worry, I don''t mind it. After all, your body looks just like Helena''s, barely good." Violet: "..." What did he say? And his hand, what was it doing on her face? Violet hurriedly took a step back to avoid his touch. "Mr. Johnson, please don''t treat Helena as a fantasy object. Also, we have already signed the divorce agreement. In principle, I have no rtionship with you anymore. Please don''t put your hands on me." If the old Mrs. Johnson hadn''t been there, she would have walked away! "It''s just a signed divorce agreement. In principle, you and I still belong to the rtionship of husband and wife. Even if I want to do something to you, it will still fall under the category of a normal couple." Louis nced at his long, slender fingers. His fingers were clean, so the skin on the woman''s face was real? "Mr. Johnson, you''re so humorous. How can you say that to my ugly face?" Violet had a wary look on her face and a fake smile. Louis shot a nce at her and changed the topic, "You know Helena well? Then you should know about her. Tell me about it." He was inquiring about Helena? Violet''s eyes shed, "Actually, I''m not going to lie. Helena''s identity is not very clear to me. My bosom friend Josie happened to save her in Eleaviel. She has amnesia and can''t recall her previous experiences at all." The woman with amnesia! What a coincidence! Louis'' dark eyes narrowed and scrutinized her. "That, Mr. Johnson, it''s gettingte. Why don''t you go to bed early?" Violet did not dare see Louis'' eyes, and walked quickly over the couch to straighten her things out. "You''re going to sleep on the couch?" "Well, I''m sure Mr. Johnson won''t want me to share a bed with you." Can he see how self-aware she was? Louis looked at her upturned buttocks. Certain scenes shed through his mind, and his Adam''s apple unconsciously rolled. He averted his sight line, walked to the bed, and turned off the air conditioner. Violet: "..." Why did he turn off the air conditioner? It was in a summer! Chapter 10 Chapter 10 "Mr. Johnson, you''re cold?" "It''s not cold, but I don''t want the air conditioner." Louis nced at her and took a pair of ck pajamas with one hand and slowly took off the white bathrobe from his body with the other hand. The temperature was high. He wanted to see how she still covered herself up. He wanted to see her wash her face after sweating. Seeing that he was about to get changed, Violet turned her head in a hurry and her ears were slightly red. Oh My God. Did this man have a kidney deficiency? In the hot day, he actually did not want the air conditioning? So hot! "If you''re hot, change the long clothes and pants you''re wearing." The man''s low, maic voice came from behind her. Violet gave a hollowugh, "It''s okay. I''m not feeling hot." Her skin tone was fair and she only covered the top of her neck with a specific powder. Once she took off her long shirt and pants, she would reveal even more of her skin! Violety back on the couch, looking at the ceiling and feeling the heat bubbling upward beneath her. It was sizzling! The temperature in the room was getting higher. Violet couldn''t help but get up and her eyes fell on the man on the king-size bed who was reading a document. " Mr. Johnson, let¡¯s make a deal. I feel a little hot. Can I sleep in the next room?" "There are no beds next door." "It''s fine. It''s fine. I''ll just sleep on the floor." As long as there was air conditioning, she can sleep anywhere! Violet took the nket and prepared to sleep somewhere else. A shadow fell overhead, followed by the man''s maic voice. "You''re hot? Do you want me to help you cool down a little?" Louis came to the couch and leaned over slightly to look at her, forcing her to lean back into the couch. "What? Mr. Johnson, what are you talking about!" The man''s strong arms were propped up at her sides, and his dark eyes sized her up with abandon. His eyes fell on her unraveled the cor because of the heat. He could see her fair chest that was partly hidden and partly visible. Violet looked down, and when she saw the skin on her chest, she hastily covered it. "Mr. Johnson, where are you looking at? Pervert!" "Pervert? Violet, I told you, we''re married and it''s normal if I have sex with you." Louis'' Adam''s apple rolled slightly, and his eyes shifted slightly upward. Her face was swarthy and not at allparable to theplexion of her breast. His dark eyes narrowed slightly as he asked a question he wanted to ask, "Violet, the hues of your body and your face, why do they have a huge difference?" Violet was lost for words at the moment. That was really hard to answer! "I was born with that. But I think it''s good. Just because of this, I can be less harassed by horny men." So, she was insinuating that he was horny? Louis looked at her steadily and reached out to touch her face. "Hiss, that hurts." Frowned, Violet suddenly covered her stomach with her hands and screamed. Louis'' hand lurched, "What''s wrong?" "Mr. Johnson, get up. I have to go to the bathroom." Violet looked at him pathetically. Louis slowly straightened up and watched as the woman quickly crossed past him. She was making an excuse! This ugly wife seemed to be hiding unspeakable secrets in her body. In the bathroom, Violet leaned against the door and let out a long breath. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she looked at this ugly face in the mirror . Then she quickly took her makeup bag, dipped some powder and fixed again the ugly makeup that had faded because of the sweat. Suddenly she understood why Louis turned off the air conditioning! He was suspicious of her identity! What a tough guy! That seemed really troublesome! Violet double-checked her makeup before she exited the bathroom. The air in the room suddenly became cooler. Louis actually turned the air conditioning on! Great! Violet was happy. Her eyes fell on the man who was leaning on the bed and continuing to read his papers. With a light cough she rushed to the sofa. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. "Mr. Johnson, good night." Louis didn''t pay attention to her, but his mind couldn''t help but think of the enchanting night. Violet, Helena, between the two ... The following day. Violet did not sleep soundly and got up quietly at dawn. After ncing at the sleeping man, she gingerly exited the bedroom and let out a long breath. The torturous night was finally over. Violet touched her face and just felt sticky. She had to get out of Balridge Manor and get her makeup off in a hurry. Violet went to the kitchen and made the old Mrs. Johnson a few of her favorite snacks as usual, then greeted the housekeeper and quickly left. After a while, Louis got up and got out of the room. The old Mrs. Johnson was also awake. "Good morning, grandma." "Morning." The old Mrs. Johnson nced behind him, "Louis, where''s Violet?" "She left" When she left, he was aware of it. "Madam, Mrs. Violet Johnson made breakfast before she left." The servant spoke respectfully. "Well, Violet is really thoughtful." The old Mrs. Johnson was helped by Louis into the dining room. Looking at the breakfast on the table, the old Mrs. Johnson was greatly delighted. Louis carefully took a bowl of rice porridge to the old Mrs. Johnson, "Grandma, is that how she wins your heart?" The old Mrs. Johnson gave a nce at him. "Louis, do you know why Violet married you a year ago?" "Because of greed and vanity." Louis took a cup of coffee handed over by a servant and responded indifferently. "You''re wrong." The old Mrs. Johnson said, "Violet chose to marry you as repaying for kindness." Repaying for kindness? To whom? Louis''s hand was in the air and he looked at the old Mrs. Johnson. "Violet grew up without without her parents." "She was raised by her aunt. The youngest sister of Violet¡¯s mother. But her aunt chose to divorce because her husband cheated on her. So she raised Violet and her own biological daughter alone." "Her aunt died when Violet was a freshman in high school because of years of overwork. Since t hen, Violet and her cousin live together." The old Mrs. Johnson slowly recounted, "A year ago you had an ident and I was seriously ill. We were sending out a message to the city that you were going to choose a woman and marry. For the huge bride price of our family, Violet''s uncle originally wanted to force Violet''s cousin to marry you. And Violet, for the sake of her cousin''s freedom, volunteered to take her cousin''s ce and marry you." "She¡¯s been on the straight for a year and never uses the title of Mrs. Johnson for her own gain. Would you say that Violet still married you out of greed and vanity?" Louis listened thoughtfully. He never bothered to investigate her. All he knew was that she was chosen for him by his stepmother to humiliate him! "Did she tell you this?" "No. I got these partly from my research, and partly from what I heard from Violet''s cousin Evie Williams." The old Mrs. Johnson reached out and patted Louis'' hand, "Louis, don''t hold it against Violet. She''s a caring and righteous woman." He was not sure about it. But it was clear that his ugly wife had secrets. Louis took a bite of the fluffy bread and then pondered. Chapter 11 Chapter 11 RW Styling Studio. Violet finally removed the ugly makeup. Watching her original appearance in the mirror, she wiped the water off her face and let out a long breath. It was not easy! It was really not easy to muddle through in front of him! Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. "Violet, Erin''s on the phone." Evie''s hand reached over. Violet took the phone, smiled and pinched Evie''s face. "Thanks Evie." This was her cousin, Evie Williams, her aunt''s favorite daughter, who now managed the Tasty Interlude Bakery downstairs. "Pick it up. I''ll go down and go on with my stuff!" Evie hugged her and then left. Violet curled her lips and had the video chat with her daughter. "Erin, you''re awake so early?" "Becausest night I did not hear the voice of mommy, so didn''t sleep well!" The little one in the video sounded so cute. Her little face was pink. And her big eyes were as bright as the stars at night. Violet felt softhearted and threw the little one a kiss. "Mommy had some businessst night. That''s why I didn''t talk to my baby on the phone." "I know, Josie said that mommy was there to make money for Erin." The little one blinked with a pair of big eyes, "Mommy is too hard. Erin decided not to drink milk in the future, just have porridge." Violet: "..." That was her good girl! How can she be so understanding and likeable? She was really her sweet little girl. Violet felt like she was going to cry. She hastily lifted her eyes to prevent the tears froming down. "Erin, mommy isn''t having a hard time at all. You have to listen to Josie, drink more milk and grow taller so that mommy will be happy." "Good! Mommy, when I grow taller, I can earn my own milk money." Violet: "..." Her family had a sweet little girl. That was the biggest blessing of her life! "Okay, mommy has to get busy! Where''s Josie?" "Josie is still sleeping. I''ll go to wake her up." "Okay, that''s it for now!" A guest came into the studio and Violet smiled and hung up the phone. "Is Helena there? Do my hair and makeup." The guest was calling her. Violet put away her phone, tidied up, and walked out. "Hi, I''m Helena." Violet watched the guest. The person was around her forties and wearing tight-fitting clothes, making her already corpulent body even more corpulent. Her temperament was not elegant, and she didn''t look like she was nice enough to get along with. "So you''re Helena. I hear you''re the best in this studio? Come on, do my hair and makeup." The woman looked at Violet up and down. "Yes, ma''am, pleasee with me for a skin test." Violet reached out and gestured for the guest to go to the information desk. "What is skin test? Just put on your best cosmetics for me." The woman''s eyes shed with impatience. "Thisdy, having a skin test is a safeguard for you to screen out makeup that doesn''t suit you." Violet patiently exined to her. "If you can''t make me feel satisfactory, I won''t give you money." "Okay, if there''s anything you''re not satisfied with, just mention it." Violet gestured to the receptionist, then looked at the woman thoughtfully. She had been styling for a year and hade into contact with all kinds of people. With her reputation that was slowly built up, the majority of people who came to her for styling was usually rich. Because the pricing was not low, average women rarely set foot here. But this woman''s dressing didn''t look like she was a rich ... The other side. The Johnson Group. "Louis, I heard you slept with a woman that night? It was your wife''s bosom friend? Tell me, how did it feel?" Austin Evison leaned back on his chair, and his handsome face was full of mockery. Louis paused and raised his eyes, "How do you know about this?" "What do you think? Of course your sister told my sister. Then my sister came back to make a scene in front of me." Austin yed his phone with a helpless look on his face. Louis'' eyebrows wrinkled slightly, "You have to tell your sister not to put her mind on me." Austin was his best friend But it didn''t mean he wanted to be doubly rted with Austin by marry his sister. He really didn''t want to be stalked by his friend''s sister. "Sorry, it''s not that I don''t want to help. I can''t help." Austin shrugged and then stood up straight, "I have to buy something for her early in the morning to coax her. You''re the culprit. You have to go with me." "Where are we going? I''m not avable!" "Let''s go! I promise you''ll be interested!" ... In the studio. Violet applied makeup for the guest based on her own opinion. "Well, Ms. Wright, look. Is this makeup satisfactory now?" Violet asked with a smile. Ruby Wright looked at herself in the mirror and couldn''t help but surprise by her appearance. Her original rough skin now looked fair and shiny. After the styling, Ruby looked like apletely different person. She looked younger by at least ten years. "Well ... It''s not bad!" Ruby prevented herself from sayingpliment, but replied indifferently. Violet smiled slightly and said nothing more. Because she had seen from Ruby''s expression that she was quite satisfied. "As long as you''re satisfied." Violet handed Ruby''s belongings to her. Until Ruby paid and left, Violet felt slightly relieved. She thought the woman was here to pick a fight. But now it looked like she was overthinking it! Violet stretched herself and walked to the rest area to make herself a ss of water. With an unobtrusive nce, she saw a luxury car parked by the roadside, and someone stepped out of the car. The tall figure was enveloped by the sunlight. Louis! Why was he here?! Violet almost choked with the water. She hurriedly put down the ss, ran into the dressing room and put on an ugly makeup. Then, through a hidden door, she went down to the first floor. Outside. Louis looked at the not-sorge bakery in front of him and then blinked. This was where his ugly wife worked? The store was not big, but it seemed to be doing good business? "Is it right toe with me?" Austin raised an eyebrow, "The first floor is your wife''s workce, and the second floor is your lover''s. Your wife and mistress are at peace with each other and still as close as sisters. Louis, why do I envy you a little bit?" "You can try bullshitting again." Louis'' gaze was like a knife. Austin touched his nose and followed him inside. Inside, Evie, who had received instructions from Violet, came out from the kitchen. "Louis? What brings you here?" "I came with a friend to buy something." Louis nced at Evie''s badge and knew she was Violet''s cousin. Chapter 12 Chapter 12 "Stopped by to visit his wife." Austin leaned toward the counter and threw a wink toward Evie, "Young girl, call your sister out." "Oh, okay." Evie was a bit rushed and hastily called out towards the kitchen, "Violet, Louis is here." Violet took a deep breath and then walked out from the kitchen, pretending to be surprised, "Mr. Johnson, what brings you here?" "I can''te here?" Louis'' eyes were lingering on her ugly makeup for two seconds, then moving away. "Can I get you something to drink?" Violet smiled sardonically and inquired. "No, take your time." Louis looked around with his hands in his pockets as he waited for Austin to finish his pastry shopping. Violet stood by obediently and did not make another sound. She silently prayed that Louis could leave quickly. "Is Helena''s studio upstairs?" He suddenly asked a question. Violet was shocked but didn''t show it on her face. She pushed her ck-rimmed sses, "Yes." Louis nced at her and walked towards the stairway. He was going to go upstairs! Violet was startled and no longer calm this time, "Mr. Johnson, you... you''re going up there?" Her voice was a little harsh from astonishment. Louis turned slightly sideways, "What? Can''t I?" "Yes, of course." Can she say no?! Violet smiled and happened to make a eye contact with him. Hastily, she tried to calm herself down. Louis gazed at her before went upstairs. Violet bit her lower lip and hurried to follow him. The styling studio upstairs was also small, but elegantly decorated. The melodious sound of music floated in the air. Several employees were busy in their works. Louis'' deep eyes swept around and didn''t see Helena''s figure. "Where is she?" "She went out and just asked me to keep an eye on the studio for her." Violet lied. Louis turned around and looked Violet up and down, "You look nervous?" "Huh? No!" Violetughed in an embarrassed sort of way and denied it. The corners of Louis'' mouth turned upwards as he walked to the rest area and sat down. Violet: "..." Why wasn''t he leaving? "Mr. Johnson, are you waiting for Helena?" "Hmm." Louis casually picked up a magazine on the coffee table and flipped through it with a leisurely look. Wasn''t he the president of the Group? Why did he have so much time? Violet was speechless and her mind was whirling rapidly. He didn''t look like he was going to leave until he saw Helena. What can she do? "Violet, can youe down here? I have something to ask you." Evie sent Austin up and then asked Violet. Violet brightened up, "Okay, I''ll be right there." She had to go down there, otherwise, how could Helenae back!? Violet steadied her heartbeat, "Mr. Johnson, wait for a moment. I''ll be right back." Louis did not say anything. Violet didn''t care whether he agreed or not, and left quickly. "Louis, waiting for your lover while your wife is still here, huh?" Austin, with an amused look on his face, sat down next to him. Wife, lover? He would like to see if these two will appear at the same time today! Louis'' thin lips werepressed, and his long fingers tapped his thighs unconsciously. Ten minutester. "Mr. Johnson, sorry to keep you waiting." A woman''s pleasant voice came from the stairway entrance. Louis raised his eyes and looked at the two people walking towards him. His dark eyes instantly narrowed. Helena and Violet appeared at the same time. Helena was elegant and refined, but Violet had a swarthy face with a pair of ck-framed sses. Wife, lover. They really showed up at the same time! "So you''re Helena?" Austin looked Helena up and down and asked with interest. "You''re Mr. Evison of the Evison Group, right? I''ve heard a lot about you." Helena was smiling and greeting Austin. Louis nced at her and his eyes fell on the silent "Violet" of the side. He got up and walked over to her. The smile on "Violet"''s face was barely hanging on. Because the woman ying ugly at this time was her cousin Evie. She came up with this impromptu method to make her cousin resemble her with her superior make-up skill, hoping to fool Louis. At that moment, Louis suddenly leaned in slightly and raised his hand to touch Evie''s face. Helena was startled and pulled Evie away, "Mr. Johnson, what are you doing?" She hoped Louis not touch her sister, okay? Louis''s hand stopped in mid-air and his dark eyes were sweeping to her. "Helena, this is my wife. Why are you making such a fuss about what I do to her?" Violet: "..." She wasmitting a gaffe! "I''m sorry, because Violet and I are as close as sisters, I''m used to protecting her." Violet made up a random reason. Without waiting for Louis to speak, she said to Evie, "Violet, I knew you¡¯re busy. I''ll serve Mr. Johnson for you." "Okay." Evie was nervous. She followed what Violet had taught her and imitated her usual ent, "Mr. Johnson, excuse me. I''ll go downstairs and get busy." Louis did not say anything. Evie squeezed a fake smile at him, then turned and walked away quickly. When she left, Violet smiled, "Mr. Johnson, what can I do for you?" Louis'' line of sight retracted andnded on her face. "Miss Helena, my wife is really submissive to you. People will think you''re my real wife." Violet: "..." Wasn''t she his real wife now? "Mr. Johnson is joking. I treat Violet like a sister. I''m just used to protecting her." "Really, Miss Helena is quite protective." "I''m ttered." "..." Then, Louis gazed at her and then left the studio. "Louis, are we leaving?" Austin, who had been watching a good show of them, got up and followed him in a hurry. "Mr. Johnson, take your time." Violet sent them to the first floor. Watching the two leave, she let out a long breath. The man was finally gone! If he stayed a little longer, she was afraid she''ll be scared to death! She wished she could get a divorce soon, so she wouldn''t have to torture herself so much! "Violet, I''m so scared." Evie walked out of the kitchen and patted her chest in relief as well. "It''s okay now. I''ll help you remove your makeup." "Okay." Outside the door. Louis got in the car. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Austin fastened his seat belt and winked towards him, "Louis, Helena is interesting." It was fun! The corners of Louis'' mouth turned up and he said, "Don''t you think these two look alike?" Austin: "..." A beauty like a fairy. But the other, miserable... They didn''t look alike! "Louis, I don''t think you''re blind! Oh, I see. You mean they taste alike, right!?" ... Violet sent Louis away and went back to work. In the afternoon, something happened in the bakery downstairs. Chapter 13 Chapter 13 "Call out your person in charge." In the bakery, a middle-aged woman pped tables and kicked chairs, yelling. Evie heard themotion and hurried out to inquire. "Madam, I''m the person in charge here. What can I do for you?" The middle-aged woman looked her up and down, "You''re the person in charge here? Why did I hear that the person in charge here is an ugly bitch? Why didn''t shee out? Does she feel guilty?" Hearing this, Evie''s eyebrows wrinkled slightly, but still responded in a good-natured manner, "Dear customer, can you make things clear first? What exactly is your problem?" "Yeah, don''t keep yelling. Tell us first why you''re angry." "Talk about it first!" There were some frequent visitors in the store who were buying cakes and all helped Evie out by asking the woman questions. The middle-aged woman looked at them and said, "I bought some pastries from this store this morning. My grandson ate them and vomited and had diarrhea. And the doctor said it was food poisoning. So tell me, is the shop owner malicious?!" Food poisoning? Several customers looked at each other and were a little nervous. "No way! We buy pastries here all the time and this has never happened." "That''s right. The store looks like it does a pretty good job in hygiene." "..." Hearing this, the middle-aged woman shouted: "It didn''t happen to you, so of course you can say sarcastic remarks! The person in charge of this store is an ugly bitch. When people are ugly, their hearts are easily twisted. Maybe she is stimted by something and takes revenge on society!" That was an overstatement. Evie was angry, "Please don''t talk nonsense. My sister is kind-hearted. She is not what you said." "Kind-hearted? I think she was born cowardly!" The middle-aged woman said ironically: "I heard that your sister is Mrs. Johnson ? You know, two days ago, her husband slept with her best friend, but she dared not speak up because of her self- abasement, and still treats her as her best friend. This kind of coward person is most likely to be psychologically distorted and do something to retaliate against society." When these words came out, people were in awe. "Oh my God. There is such a thing?" "What she said is so detailed. It must be true." "So is the cake in this bakery still edible?" "Definitely can''t eat it. It''s horrible." "..." Initially, the regrs were hesitated, then slowly epted what the middle-aged woman had said and asked for a refund. The middle-aged woman had her arms crossed with a smug look on her face. "No, it''s not what you''re talking about." Evie was so anxious that she wanted to exin, but didn''t know where to start. At that moment, a woman''s clear and pleasant voice came from the stairway. "Please provide some evidences. Denigrate others without evidence is a vition of thew." Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Violet came down from upstairs and spoke in a soft voice. "Violet." Evie rushed over her with an anxious look on her face. Violet smiled reassuringly toward her, then walked toward the middle-aged woman. The woman looked her up and down, "Who are you again?" "Who I am is none of your business. Who are you? You''d better exin." Violet shook the phone in her hand, "I have just recorded your words. I hope you can make things clear, otherwise, I don''t mind calling the police now. Let''s go to the police station and talk about it." Hearing these words, the woman''s face visibly stiffened. "What do you want me to say? What I just said is clear enough. This store sucks that caused my grandson to be poisoned!" "Is that so? Then may I ask you, at what time in the morning did youe to this store to buy pastries?" "I, uh, came in around 10 o''clock." The woman''s eyes rolled up and she blurted out a time. "Did youe and buy it yourself?" "Yes!" "Okay." Violet had a calm face, "Evie, go and check the surveince footage to see if she came to our store around 10 o''clock." "Okay." Evie nodded and was going to check the surveince. When the woman heard this, her eyes shed with hesitation. "No, I misremembered. I didn''te in to buy it myself in the morning. My daughter-inw did it." "Is that so?" Violet looked at her and asked a cold and rhetorical question. "Sure." "No, I remember you initially said that you were the one who bought the pastries at this store. So how did it turn out that your daughter-inw came to buy them again?" "That''s right. I heard it too." A few people next to her retorted suspiciously. The woman was a bit flustered, "You heard it wrong. I came to buy pastries, but I didn''t enter the door. I was standing outside. It was my daughter-inw." "Is that so? Then tell me, please, which position were you standing in?" Violet smiled slightly, "Madam, don''t worry. There are cameras everywhere with no dead angles. As long as you really came in, I believe what you said is true." "I ..." The woman was unable to speak for a moment. Violet turned upwards her corners of mouth, "Madam, let me remind you again. Public nder and defamation is a vition of thew. I''ve heard that the Johnson Group''s legal team is quite powerful, so I wonder how many years you''ll be sentenced in this case?" The woman was scared. She just took money from someone and came over to make a mess. She did not want to be in jail! "I, I''m probably mistaken. My grandson just has gastroenteritis. It''s not about the cake. I.. I''m going to leave." The woman finished her words and left in a huff. "So she is here to make trouble!" "I always buy cakes from this store. The quality can still be guaranteed." "I think it must be apetitor who is deliberately looking for someone to mess up!" "..." People were talking and Violet listened to them. Was it apetitoring to mess up? Not necessarily! The woman came looking for her, an ugly woman. And it was clear that she just came for her. Besides, she knew Helena and Louis slept together. But why did she know? "Please rest assured that the hygiene of our bakery is always great and the products used are the most expensive and best. So please continue to support our store." Evie gave everyone a bow. A farce came to an end, and the crowd was relieved to buy their pastries and left. "That person just now has gone too far. She actually came to nder you." Evie spoke up in exasperation. Violet returned to her senses and smiled, "It''s okay. We''ll solve this problem. Keep busy." She probably had some ideas that someone was probably targeting her on purpose! Who was it? The name of a person shed in her mind. Violetpressed her lips and slowly went upstairs. Only she had just reached the upper floor when someone followed her noisily upstairs. Chapter 14 Chapter 14 "Helena,e out here! Look at my face. It''s marred! This shitty studio. Close it for me now!" It was Ruby who came in the morning. At this point, her face was full of red and swollen bumps, looking a little creepy. Violet was startled and rushed over, "Ms. Wright, take it easy. Let me see." How did this happen? Her skin was allergic! "What are you looking at?" Ruby swatted her hand away as she swept her gaze to the customers who were styling their hair here. "Look at this. I had my look done here this morning. This is the proof! I thought it is an upscale studio, but I didn''t think it is a bluff! You''re all rich and famous. Be careful with your face. Don''t get ruined!" What she said made the employees stop doing the styling and customers all discussed about it. "My God. Her face is swollen. She must be allergic." "Helena, what kind of cosmetics did you use on her face? Why did you make her face look like this?" "Helena, are you using counterfeit products?" "That''s right! I came here only because I was introduced by an acquaintance, so I can''t trust your studio of this level." "..." Her guests were chattering. Violet stayed calm and spoke, "Please calm down, the products we use here are all big international brands. You can check them as you like." The cosmetics she used were carefully selected. Before applying makeup to clients who came here, she gave them a skin test and then used the most suitable products for each other. And there had never been an example like Ruby. "Hell, I don''t know what kind of products you''re really using!" Ruby snorted, "In order to make huge profits, many bad businessmen secretly have a specialbeling production line. And you can buybeled international brands with less money! Maybe that''s how the productse from!" "It''s true. I saw a news two days ago that people who produced counterfeit goods was caught up by police." "If that''s true, then what Helena does is so unreasonable." "No, I want a refund. I can''t have my face look like that." "..." The guests were all rich and wealthydies. For them, the most important thing to care about was their faces. With Ruby''s provocation, they demanded for refunds. Violet hurriedly reassured them, "Listen to me. You guy are regrs of this studio. I can swear to God that the products I have here are never counterfeit goods. If you don''t believe me, you can just take a sample and test it." "And how do you exin her face?" "Yeah, her face looks like it''s caused by allergy!" Several guests questioned it. Violet looked at Ruby with a slightly cold look, "There are many reasons of being allergic. Ms. Wright, are you sure it''s from using my makeup products and not from eating foods that can still cause allergies?" There was definitely something wrong with this Ruby! She was sure that her allergy was definitely not because of cosmetics! "You still want to pass the buck? How could I eat food that I am allergic to? It''s obvious that you saw my in dress and deliberately neglected me by using inferior products!" Ruby''s eyes shed, but she blurted out an usation. "I treat my guests equally." Violet said, "Ms. Wright, since you think it''s a cosmetic allergy, why don''t you pleasee with me to the hospital and have the doctor do a checkup for you?" She believed in her products. If they went to the hospital for a checkup, it would return justice to her. "There''s no need to go to the hospital because I''ve already been there!" Ruby smiled smugly and took out a test report from her bag, "Helena, look carefully. The doctor diagnosed that my face is allergic to cosmetics. How can you still deny!?" Violet: "..." How was this possible!? C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. ... The Johnson Group. Office of the Secretary. "Did you guys see the news? The Tasty Interlude Bakery. We always order cakes there. It almost had an ident! But it''s a good thing that the person was just making a trouble." "I saw it! But I''m more concerned about the gossip that person said!" "Yes, that person said our president married an ugly woman and slept with her bosom friend. Is it true?" "It seems to be true! I also heard that the president''s wife''s bosom friend is Helena from RW Styling Studio." "..." A few secretaries were gossiping during their lunch break. Louis came out of the president''s office and heard them. At that moment, his footsteps paused. Tasty Interlude Bakery almost had an ident? What happened? "Helena from RW Styling Studio? Isn''t the woman who came to the Group two days ago? Ready to take over the makeup business?" "That''s her. She''s so pretty!" "This woman must have a scheme. She actually slept with our president." "..." The people in the secretary''s office discussed it enthusiastically. Louis'' brow wrinkled. Harry was about to remind the secretaries to stop gossiping about the boss behind his back. At that moment, a secretary eximed out loud. "Hey hey, look guys, there''s another breaking news!" "Helena, the head of RW Styling Studio, used poor quality cosmetics that caused allergies on her customers'' faces!" "Gosh, I didn''t expect Helena to be so wicked. How dare she use inferior cosmetics?" "Didn''t you say she has a scheme? Like this kind of scheming bitch, what can''t she do for profit?" "..." Hearing this, Harry looked at his boss''s slightly sunken face, and coughed lightly. "Less gossip during work hours." A few secretaries realized that their boss was standing at the entrance of the corridor with a cold face. At once, they were all silenced. Louis nced at a few people, and walked in the direction of the elevator. "Harry, go check out the news." "Yes." ... In the studio. Violet sat in her office, staring at Ruby''s diagnostic report. It clearly stated that her face was allergic to cosmetics. But she didn''t believe it at all. "Violet, how did this happen? What should we do now?" Evie pushed the door in with an anxious look on her face. Violet returned to her senses and put the report in her bag. "There''s no hurry. I''ll go to the hospital first." Ruby wouldn''t go with her to the hospital to get rechecked. She tried every possible way to persuade Ruby to give her some time toe up with a solution. The implication of Ruby''s words was to shut her studio down. She was certain that someone was instigating Ruby to do this. And this person, perhaps the same person who directed the middle-aged woman toe to the bakery and cause trouble! Violet let out a deep breath, grabbed her belongings and left the studio. She drove to the hospital where Ruby was examined. This was a private hospital owned by the Johnson Group. Violet was more sure of an idea. Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Violet registered with a dermatology specialist. When it was her turn, she entered the consultation room. "How do you feel?" The doctor was a young guy and asked her a routine question. Violet was silent and took the diagnosis report out of her bag. "Doctor Lee, I''m not here for diagnosis. I''m here to ask you, do you have any recollection of this patient named Ruby?" Hearing these words, the man then looked up. He pushed his sses that were set on his nose and his eyes shed. "With so many patients every day, how can I possibly remember her? If you''re not here to see a doctor, get out." When he finished, he started calling the next one. Without even looking at it, he said he didn''t recognize it. She didn''t believe this doctor! Violet held back the anger in her heart, "Doctor Lee, someone bribed you and told you to make the diagnosis on purpose, right? You should have medical ethics to be a doctor. Do you deserve to be a doctor? Do you know that you will ruin people''s future if you do this?" Hearing these words, the man''s face changed. He stared at her, "What are you talking about? Are you here to cause trouble? Are you going to get out or not? If you don''t get out, I''ll call security." "Doctor Lee, I ask you to tell me the truth. Do you know this Ruby or not? Is it true that she is allergic to cosmetics?" "Security! Security!" The man called security directly. A few momentster, the security guards rushed in and pulled Violet out. "Let go! You guys let me go! There''s something wrong with this doctor. I want to see your superior!" Violet was so angry that she was forcibly pulled out by security guards. People around her pointed at her and watched as she was thrown to the ground, all in disarray. Not far away, Harry saw the scene and stopped to call Louis. "Mr. Johnson, the news you asked me to check, I found a little clue ..." ... Violet returned from the hospital unsessfully, angrily and furiously. Anxious and fretful. She knew someone was setting her up, but she can''t solve the problem. She was a little disillusioned as the night fell. The phone in her bag was ringing. She took it out slowly and nced at it, feeling even more irritated. N?velDrama.Org content. Why did Louis call her? The Johnsons! They were not good! Violet let out a deep breath and picked up the phone. "Hello." "Violet, remember who you are. You''re a married woman and you''re still out by now?" The man''s cold and arrogant tone came through the other side of the phone. Violet took a deep breath and wanted to curse so badly. "Mr. Johnson, I''m sorry. I have some unfinished business, so ..." "You''re just a little pastry chef, but you are busier than me, the president? You have half an hour. If you don''te back in half an hour, you will be responsible for the consequences." POP. The phone hung up. He was so bossy! Violet was frantic and cursed Louis. She didn''t want to go back, but in the end, she put on an ugly makeup and resigned herself to return to the vi. "Mrs. Johnson, you''re back." Lucy greeted her, smiling. "Lucy." Violet was unhappy, but it didn''t show on her face. "The young master is back early." Lucy whispered. Violet made a fake smile and looked toward the living room. She didn''t want Louis toe back early! In this way, she had no freedom at all! In the living room, Louis was sipping tea and looking at papers. It was still the same cold, haughty and reserved gesture. He was just pretending! Violet slowly walked up to him. "Mr. Johnson, I''m back. What can I do for you?" He and she were a divorced couple. Shouldn''t they not interfere with each other? Why should he act like the master of her destiny and be insufferably arrogant to her? Louis took a sip of tea, slightly lifted his eyes, and the corners of his mouth lightly hooked. "What? You seem to be upset with me?" He had sharp eyes. He can see it all! Violet said, "Nothing. You think too much." "Is that so? I hope I''m overthinking it." Louis sneered and tossed a file to her. "Check it out." What was it? Violet hurriedly caught it and opened the file with some suspicion. When she saw the information inside, her eyes widened with surprise and joy. This information showed that Ruby had contact with a person beforeing to her studio. And it was Jasmine''s assistant La. Meanwhile, La had been in contact with Doctor Lee of the Dermatology Department. Doctor Lee had truthfully confessed that it was La who gave her a sum of money to help her make a fake diagnosis. Ruby can be allergic, not from cosmetics, but from eating foods that caused allergies. With this information, she can be innocent! "Mr. Johnson, this information ..." She really didn''t expect Louis to help her find the evidence. She retracted the badments she had just made about him in her mind. He was a good man with a cold heart! "Give this information to your bosom friend tomorrow." Louis nced at her, "At least it''s a woman I''ve slept with. Bullying her is messing me." Woman whom had slept together! This man. Did he have to speak so directly? Violet saw the man''s deep eyes and always felt that he meant something. She hastily averted her eyes and gave him a bow. "Mr. Johnson, I thank you for Helena. You''ve been a great help to her." Thanks to him this time. "The woman who came to make trouble in the bakery this afternoon is also a distant rtive of La''s. Have you figured out why they are targeting you and your bosom friend?" Louis'' two long legs gracefully changed positions and looked at Violet and asked. "Probably I and my bosom friend offended Jasmine." Violet gave a mocking smile. Jasmine, just because she was the daughter of the Johnson Family, had really gone too far. "You''re pretty smart." The corners of Louis'' mouth were coldly hooked, "So just let her bully you?" "Of course not!" Violet blurted out, looking at the man''s handsome face, "She bullied me, which means she does not consider you at all. I also have to teach her a lesson." Louis: "..." Horseshit! "I''m hungry. Go cook something for me." "Yes!" Violet put down the files and belongings in her hands and immediately went to the kitchen. The woman''s back was still shapely. Louis'' long, slender fingers tapped his thighs habitually. The ringing of a cell phone''s video call request came from the side. Louis slightly looked up. The ringing wasing from Violet''s bag. Someone wanted to have a video call with her. "Violet, your phone." Louis shouted. Violet, who was busy in the kitchen, didn''t hear it. Louis'' thin lips werepressed and his eyes fell on the woman''s bag. His ugly wife had secrets. Was it what he thought? The man''s long and slender fingers, touched the bag ... Chapter 16 ?Chapter 16 In the kitchen, Violet, who was in a good mood, opened the refrigerator, searched for ingredients and decided to make noodles for herself and Louis. While waiting for the water to boil, she began to prepare small dishes to go with the noodles. Only when she saw the man sitting on the sofa who was holding her two cell phones at this moment, she was astonished and her heart was like jumping out of her chest. Louis rummaged her bag! What was he up to! Violet ran out in a gust of wind. ''Mr. Johnson, you... Ugh!" Violet ran too fast and was careless. By the time she reacted, she had already pounced Louis onto the couch. By coincidence, she red lips covered his. There was sudden silence. Violet''s eyes widened as she looked at the handsome face of the man, and her thoughts stalled for a moment. Louis only felt that the woman pressed against him and her red lips were extra fragrant and soft. He found it familiar. Hisrge palm subconsciously sped her small waist. The size and the memory of that night ovepped... A pleasant bell rang abruptly, breaking the silence of the room. Violet was back to her senses and scrambled to get up off of him. ''I''m sorry." Violet pushed her ck-rimmed sses and squatted down to pick up the bag on the floor. A slight blush appeared on her face. Louis slowly sat up straight. His dark eyes were deep. He calmed himself down with a usible smile, "Violet, I helped you and your bosom friend. You don''t have to be so eager, right? Do you want me to feel whether your body is better?" Violet: "..." He was full of shit! She had no such idea! Violet quickly put the two phones in her bag. "Mr. Johnson, although I appreciate your help, but can you please respect my privacy? How can you rummage my bag without my consent?" "You are my wife. In front of your husband, shouldn''t you be honest? Or do you have a secret you are hiding from me?" The man''s eyes were deep, like a deep pool, sinking terribly. Violet''s scalp tingled and sheughed dryly, "You think too much! Everyone has privacy, don''t they? What''s more, we''re only married by agreement, and we''re the kind that''s getting divorced." ''So, you think you can bewless? Violet, we haven''t even done the paperwork yet!" The man''s breath went cold. Violet smiled, "That, the water in the kitchen is boiling. I''ll go make you something to eat." The woman quickly went into the kitchen. Louis dark eyes narrowed slightly. The phone calls showed the ID of "baby". Such an intimate term. Whom did she call baby? This ugly wife seemed to be hiding more than one secret! In the kitchen, Violet looked over the caller ID. One was a video call request from her daughter, using her cell phone. The other was a call from her bosom friend. She hurriedly sent a message to her bosom friend, telling her that it was not very convenient to answer the phone right now and to let her and her daughter wait for a while. She was so busy today that she forget to tell her friend about her returning to the vi. When the two bowls of noodles were ready, Violet brought them to the table.N?velDrama.Org content. "Mr. Johnson, it''s ready to eat." Louis nced at her, smelled the aroma of food in the air, got up and walked to the dining room. Violet took a bowl of noodles to him and handed him chopsticks in a good manner. Louis lowered his eyes, looked at the fragrant onions floating on the soup. ''Violet, just one bowl of noodles? Your gratitude is so sincere.'' "Mr. Johnson, don''t eat too much at night. You''re prone to get all kinds of stomach problems." Violet smiled slightly, Try it, you''ll like it. I guarantee." Although it was just a bowl of noodles, the base soup she used was a soup she carefully cooked before, and it tasted absolutely delicious. Louis nced at her and ate. The noodles were chewy and tasted really good. Chapter 17 ?Chapter 17 This woman was quite good at cooking. Louis ate gracefully and made ament about her in his heart. "How is it? Is it good?" asked Violet. "It''s barely ptable." Louis did not raise his eyes and responded in a light voice. Was it just barely ptable? It was difficult to serve him! Violet sat down, touched her empty stomach and ate quickly. "Who is the ''baby''?" Coldly, the man suddenly burst out a question. Violet was drinking her soup and was choking and coughing with his question. Louis'' eyebrows were knitted together. With a disgusted look, he drew a piece of paper towel to wipe off the soup spilled on his hand. His sharp eyes locked on the woman. "Why are you so excited? Violet, you''re not keeping a lover behind my back, are you?" Violet: "..." Why so sudden? He was so weird! "Mr. Johnson, please don''t worry. I am ugly and have no money. I''m not capable to keep a lover."T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Oh? Sounds like you''re kinda sorry about that?" Violet: "..." This man always misinterpreted her words. "Mr. Johnson, the callers just now were my bosom friend Josie and her daughter. ''Baby'' is my bosom friend''s daughter." Violet lowered her eyes slightly and exined in a light voice. Louis looked at her steadily and eventually did not speak again. In silence, Violet ate the noodles, vowing to divorce Louis quickly. Only in this way, won''t she have to worry about if Louis would out her vulnerability and sue her for deception! After all, the Johnsons didn''t know she had a baby when she married him! The following day. Styling Studio. "Good morning, Ms. Wright." Violet watched Ruby strut into the studio and politely said hello to her. Today she suspended the business of the studio for half a day just to get things sorted out. Ruby nced at her and shouted, "Why is this shitty studio still open? Do you still want to ruin people''s faces? Hurry up and close it!" "Ms. Wright, please sit down. Have a pastry and some tea. Take your time." Violet was not annoyed and gestured for her to sit down before cutting to the chase. Ruby nced at the tempting pastries, swallowed, and rolled her eyes. "Helena, let me tell you. Bribery won''t work. I''m not going to settle down just because you buy me a piece of cake." But it would be foolish not to take advantage. Hmm! This pastry tasted so good! It was sweet and sour with some strawberries. That was so delicious! Ruby took a big bite of the pastry with a satisfied look on her face. Violet sat across from her. "Ms. Wright, is the chestnut cake good?" "Not bad." Ruby blurted out. Then, she reacted and eximed, "What did you say? Chestnut cake? This, this is obviously a strawberry cake!" "What''s wrong? Ms. Wright, you''re not allergic to chestnut powder, are you?" This cake looked like it was made with strawberries, but the reality was that it was mixed with chestnut powder. Thanks to Doctor Lee, she knew that Ruby was allergic to chestnut. So, since she liked the feeling of allergy, let her feel it again! Anyway, this was Violet''s ''reward'' for Ruby who ndered her! Chapter 18 ?Chapter 18 Violet looked at Ruby with a fake smile. "Helena, you ..." Ruby only felt her healed face start to itch again, scratching her chin with an annoyed look. Violet smiled lightly and ced a file in front of her. "I''ve investigated everything. La is your distant cousin, right? She sent you here to nt evidence against me, right?" Hearing this, Ruby''s eyes shed and did not reply. But she had already taken the file and looked through it. The file was full of evidence, so she can''t deny it. There was also a legal provision attached at the bottom of the material. "For the false usation and frame-up crime, if the circumstance is serious, one shall be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than ten years..." "Ruby, I''ll give you a chance. If you rify the fact to the public, I''ll let you go. Otherwise, I''ll call the police right now and send you to jail." Violet''s voice turned cold in a sh. Ruby shivered with fear and didn''t think twice about it, begging for mercy.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "It''s none of my business. I just got carried away for a moment. You have to tell me how to rify the situation. I''ll do whatever you ask me to do." La was Ruby''s distant cousin and she just got paid to do her job! She never thought it would be revealed so quickly! "Okay, I''ll do a live broadcast right away." Violet''s almond eyes shone brightly, "Ms. Wright, you don''t have to say anything else. What you should say is... You had a look done by me yesterday morning and thought it was too good to be true. But because it was so expensive, you couldn''t afford it. And you''re reluctant to spend more money on your face." "So you came up with the idea of ckmailing me by pretending to be allergic to the cosmetic. Just hoped that I could do few more looks for you for free." This was the solution Violet put forward. The person who set her up was Jasmine. The matter involved the Johnson family, so she didn''t want to make a big deal out of it. Even if she med Jasmine, it was no good for her, except that Jasmine hold grudge against her even more. And if she used this crisis to publicize her studio, it would be much better than just ming the instigator. "Okay, I listen to you." Ruby nodded repeatedly at Violet''smand. Violetughed lightly, took out her phone, and started the live streaming. The Johnson Group. Jasmine watched the live broadcast as Ruby bowed her head and admitted her mistake. Violet''s studio did not shut down, but attracted a lot of fans. Jasmine was so angry that she pushed all the papers on the table to the floor. "Violet, Helena, two bitches. Why don''t they y by rules?!" La, who was beside her, picked up the papers on the floor with trepidation. "Ms. Jasmine, Ruby says Helena has evidence in her hands. Helena can prove that I ordered Ruby to set her up." La was also acting on the order from her boss! She didn''t want to be the scapegoat! "What are you panicking about! Remember! You are my assistant. No matter what happens, you are still superior. She''s a ordinary person with no connections. Does she dare go against me?" Jasmine reprimanded her impatiently. La felt a little bit relieved. "But Ms. Jasmine, Helena is not easy to deal with even though she is a ordinary person. The information in her hand shoulde from Mrs. Johnson after Mr. Johnson sent someone to investigate. It seems that she really hooks up with Mr. Johnson." Hearing this, Jasmine''s eyes shed with coldness. Violet, the dumb ass. Why did she still consider Helena as her friend? Since Violet was too foolish to do anything about her friend''s betraying, Jasmine would do her a favor. "Does Helena want to take over the Group''s makeup business for the next season?" "Yes." "Okay, I got it. I''m going to chat with my cousin." Office of the Secretary. "Wow, how good is Helena''s make-up skill? So good that the woman wants to ckmail her." "Look, she''s just doing her makeup on live! She is so skillful. It''s very professional." Chapter 19 ?Chapter 19 "Yes, she helps the model apply makeup. After that, the model looks like a different person." "Such a intelligent woman. No wonder she can sleep with the president." Several secretaries gossiped with interests. Harry passed by, coughed lightly, and gave them a warning look. Again, they was talking about the president''s gossip. They had to be careful not to make the president angry. A young secretary stuck her tongue out and sat upright hurriedly. Harry knocked on the door of the president''s office before walked in. Louis was busy with his work. After Harry handed him a few papers to sign, he said, "Mr. Johnson, Helena just gave a live-stream and didn''t use anyone of anything." The information that Jasmine framed Helena was collected by Harry. He thought the president must care about this matter. The movement of Louis'' hands paused and his eyebrows knitted. "Any news?" "Yes." Harry hurriedly tapped a link on his phone and handed it to Louis. It was a video, containing Ruby''s sincere apology and Helena''s understanding. Louis watched the video and listened to what they said. This woman was smart! She used this matter to advertise her studio without a trace! So, she just let Jasmine get away with it? "Well, it''s her choice." ... Styling Studio. Violet was in a good mood after solving the problem. After receiving her regr customers, she received a call from the Johnson Group in the afternoon. "Hi, Mr. Jacob." "Miss Helena, after our internal discussion, we have decided to hand over the makeup business of artists for the next season to your studio. Are you free now? Can youe to the group?" Another good news!.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Violet was delighted and answered quickly. After the call, she thought about it and then went downstairs. She took a lot of pastries and drinks, and went to the Johnson Group. After she arrived at the twenty-eighth floor of the Group, she smiled and greeted every staff. "Hello, everyone. This is my treat for afternoon tea." The twenty-eighth floor was mainly for the entertainment section. In addition to Cooper, Jasmine was also in charge. After distributing the drinks and pastries in her hand, Violet walked towards the General Manager''s Office. At this time, Jasmine was in the office. When she saw Violeting with food, Jasmine gave her a sardonic grin "The famous stylist Helena is here. And the food you''re holding is from your bosom friend Violet''s store, right? Helena, you''re shameless." Just waited and saw. She''ll get her ass kickedter! "Miss Johnson, I''m here to make peace. Please do not be too hard on me and stop targeting me. I''m just an ordinary person. I just want to make money and travel around the world in the future." Violet respectively handed one bottle of drink and one piece of pastry to Jasmine and her assistant. Violet was sincere. Jasmine lifted her chin and looked at her with smugness and sarcasm. "Are you pleasing me? You''re very smart, aren''t you?" But she had to stir up trouble once more time in order to eliminate her hatred! "Then I''ll go out first. Enjoy yourselves." Violet smiled slightly, and looked down with cunning in her eyes. Pleasing her? Was she such a spineless person? Chapter 20 ?Chapter 20 Violet came to the marketing department to see the person in charge. "Miss Helena, the Manager has a temporary engagement, and he asked you to meet him at Washington Restaurant to sign the contract." The assistant''s words caused Violet to frown slightly. What a coincidence! Did that mean she needed to socialize a little bit? She understood that socializing was inevitable when doing business. "Okay." Violet headed to the restaurant with pleasure. Following the instruction, she came to a private room. She pushed the door open. It was bustling inside. The men and women sat in a circle,ughing and giggling. Violet scanned the crowd. When she saw someone in the crowd, the smile on her face froze. It was Cooper! Why was he here too? "Miss Helena, there you are." Manager Jacob saw Violet and got up to greet her with a smile. Violet smiled lightly, "Mr. Jacob, if you have a social engagement, I can sign the contractter." Intuitively, it didn''t seem easy for her to sign this contract today. "They are no strangers. Come here and sit down." Manager Jacob gestured her toe over the table. Before Violet aired her opinions, she was asked to sit next to Cooper. At this time, the bruises on Cooper''s face had not yet receded, and he was hugging a sexually-dressed woman. He watched Violet taking her seat, let go of the woman beside him, and looked at her with a smile. "Miss Helena. I am Cooper Burke. I''m in charge of most of the Johnson Group''s operations." Manager Jacob handed Violet a ss of wine with unknown intention. Did Jacob mean that she had to kiss Cooper''s ass if she wanted to take the makeup business? Violet''s eyes moved slightly and she was speechless for a moment. Cooper came closer to her, "Miss Helena, we meet again. Your skin looks so good. You deserve to be called the famous make-up artist." Cooper deliberately blew in her ear, flirting with her. Violet was really disgusted with that and feigned to be surprised when looked at his face. "Mr. Burke, what happened to your face? Did someone beat you? Who dares do so to you?" She just reminded Cooper of being beaten by Louis. He should know that she was the woman Louis slept with. She hoped he could restrain himself a bit. Cooper did calm down as expected. He sat up straight, and there was gloom shing in his eyes. "No one dares beat me. I was too drunk and fell on the ground." "Well, it''s better to drink less in the future, so you don''t fall again." Violet mocked at him in her heart, but her words was still polite. Manager Jacob saw that Cooper was not happy and hurriedly said, "Miss Helena, we all saw your live broadcast. Mr. Burke approves your make-up skill. That''s why he decides to give the business to your studio. Now, shouldn''t you toast Mr. Burke?" Hearing this, Violet looked apologetic. "Mr. Jacob, to be honest, I am supposed to do so. But I am a make-up artist, if I drink, my hands will shake. In order not to ruin my reputation, I never drink." She understood now. Today''s engagement was specially carried out by Cooper, the womanizer to set her up. She had to find a way to get out of here quickly. "No alcohol? Juice then?"T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Manager Jacob picked up a ss of grape juice for Violet. The liquid in the ss glowed under the light. Violet was silent. Then she took the ss and looked at Cooper. "Mr. Burke, thank you for your appreciation. I toast to you with juice instead of wine." She had already made an excuse not to drink wine, so it would be unreasonable to refuse again. Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Cooper took arge gulp of the wine, nced at Manager Jacob who nodded slightly at him. "I''m going outside and have waiters serve more seafood for us." Manager Jacob looked at the other people in the room, and the rest of them understood and made excuses to leave. Only Violet and Cooper were left in the room. Violet''s heart raced, "Mr. Burke, take your time. I''ll go to the bathroom first." She had a bad feeling. It was better for her to find an excuse to leave here. "Don''t leave." Cooper grabbed her arm, "Miss Helena, we have a contract to sign, right? I''ve got the contract all ready." Watching the many a document on the table, Violet hesitated slightly and did not move. "Mr. Burke, then we ..." Before she finished her words, Violet only felt a heat around her body that went straight to her head. And her tone became a little bit alluring. Something was wrong! Violet shook her head and looked at Cooper who had a lustful look on his face, "Mr. Burke, what did you do to me?" She was afraid that Cooper would put something in the wine, so she deliberately made an excuse not to drink that ss of wine. Did it mean that it was the juice ... "I didn''t do anything. Some of my subordinates sensed that I''m interested in you. So they put something in the juice to cheer me up." Cooper reached out and wrapped his arms around Violet: "Miss Helena, as long as you satisfy me. Not to mention a contract, I''ll grant you anything you want." Just as she expected! Violet shook his hands off hard, "Mr. Burke, please behave yourself! Don''t you forget, I am Louis'' woman. How dare you!? Aren''t you afraid of being taught a lesson by Louis again?" "Yo, just once you slept with that bastard. Now you''re iming to be his woman?" Cooper lowered his head as he reached out to grab her arm again, "Helena, I have my aunt backing me up. Not to mention you, even if I touch his wife, what can he do to me?" "Don''t touch me, Cooper! Let go!" Violet struggled desperately, only to feel her strength draining out of her body. She pinched herself hard on her inner thigh, letting the pain keep her awake. Cooper hugged her and pressed her down directly on a couch to the side. "Fuck off!" Violet touched an ashtray and smashed it hard against Cooper''s head. "Ah!" Cooper let out a scream and stopped moving by touching his head. Violet took the opportunity to push him away, grabbed her bag and stumbled towards the door. "Stop, bitch! You dare hurt me. I''ll kill you!" Cooper''s curse came from behind her. Violet turned a deaf ear and shuddered as she rushed out of the room. Hot. She felt so hot! The heat was all over her body! Violet was no stranger to this feeling. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Damn Cooper! He never changed! Violet bit her lower lip hard to prevent her from losing control. At that moment, a man came out from around the corner. Violet can''t see clearly and toppled into the man''s arms all at once. The man''s fresh and nice scent went straight to her nose. Unconsciously, Violet grunted in a rousing because of the drug. She mped her hand over her mouth hastily, and bit her lower lip even harder. The pain hit her and gave her a moment of sobriety. Her eyes widened as she wanted to identify the man. "It''s you ..." The man supported her with his hands, raising his eyebrows in amazement. "Please, take me to the hospital ..." Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Austin looked at the woman whose face was flushed and she desperately was trying to hold herself back. It aroused his curiosity about her. Wasn''t she his good friend''s lover? Looking at her like this, he thought it was obvious that she was being trapped. "Please, take me to the hospital." Violet was about to lose control. With a sobbing voice, she pinched herself hard again with her hand, but could not resist the upward surge of heat. Austin saw what she did to herself, "Miss Helena, you ..." "Bitch, where did you go?!" Not far away came the sound of Cooper''s yelling and cursing. Cooper''s hand covered his forehead where the blood was gurgling.instantly, Austin understood. He sneered at Cooper in his heart as he exchanged a few words with a subordinate behind him, then helped Violet leave here. It turned out to be the Johnson Family''s rotten apple there! He had to tell Louis about it. ... In the hospital. Louis rushed to here. After seeing the sedated woman who was sleeping peacefully, his face was teemed with coldness and resentment. It was Cooper again! Cooper probably didn''t know the truth that "never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you". Pulling out his cell phone, Louis made a call. "Harry, have you done all the collection I asked you to? About Cooper who uses his power for personal gain, epts bribes, and insults women?" Cooper, being a rtive of the Johnson family, acted as a tyrant in thepany for so many years. Not only did he umte wealth by unfair means, but also force a graduate intern to be his lover, almost killing her two years ago. Just because Louis hadn''t punish him, it didn''t mean he was afraid of Cooper. But it was not yet to the point of offending him openly! And now ... "Mr. Johnson, it has been collected." "Good, send it immediately to the relevant departments.let them intervene in the investigation." Louis hung up the phone and looked at the woman on the bed. Cooper dared to challenge his patience. It is time to settle it down with Cooper! "You''re angry for your lover''s suffering!" Austin leanedzily on the edge of the table with a teasing smile. Louis'' thin lips were pursed and he did not speak. "By the way, she''s pretty hard on herself." Austin walked over and pouted at the woman on the bed. "See her broken mouth? You can also go look at her thighs.There must be purple bruises. That''s what she used to keep herself awake after she was drugged." People who can do hard things to themselves have stronger willpower. Louis'' dark, deep eyes were fixed on the woman on the bed, and his handsome face showed no emotion. At that moment, Violet''s eyshes fluttered and she woke up. N?velDrama.Org content. Looking at the ceiling, her thoughts were stunned for a moment. "Hi, Miss Helena. You''re awake." Austin took the lead and greeted her. Violet looked at the two handsome men standing in front of her. Her thoughts were all back together. "Mr. Evison, thank you foring to the rescue." Luckily, Austin was decent enough to bring her to the hospital. But why did he even call Louis here!? "No problem!" Austin waved his hand, "You and Louis have a great rtionship. How could I not help you?" Violet was silent momentarily. Mr. Evison, could you not be more blunt? Seeing that Violet was embarrassed, Austin raised her wrist to look at his watch, "So, I got things to do. I''ll leave first." How self-aware he was! He didn''t want to be the third wheel. Austin made a grimace towards Louis and strode away. Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Violet was licking her dry mouth for moisture. Seeing this, Louis took a bottle of water, unscrewed it, and handed it over to her. "Thanks." Violet smiled gratefully, took the water and drank. The woman tilted up her neck. In the light, her skin looked more fair and wless. Louis lowered his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Is this how you talk business? By seduction?" This wasn''t the first time that this happened to her! Was she used to it? Violet pursed her lips, "Mr. Johnson, in order to survive, there are always people to deal with. And there''s no way I''m going to give up eating for fear of choking. What''s more, not everyone is as shameless as Cooper." "How can you be assured and bold? If you hadn''t met Austin today, have you thought about the consequences?" Louis'' voice was aloof, "And yes, it''s not the first time you''ve encountered this. Or likest time, just find a man to sleep with again." That was a bit insulting. Violet''s fingers curled, "Mr. Johnson, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, but that''s all about it. You''re nobody to me and have no right to control me." He was nobody?! This woman ... He tried to calm himself down. He was about to say something when her cell phone rang from her bag on the side. Both of their eyes moved over at the same time. Violet became nervous. Without waiting for her to speak, Louis did not hesitate and took out her phone from her bag. The word "Evie" was showed on the screen. It was Violet''s cousin. A trace of sarcasm shed across his eyes. He pressed the connect button directly and turned on the speaker. Violet gasped and heard Evie''s clear voice from the phone. "Violet, where are you? Why haven''t youe back yet?" "Ah! It''s Evie, right? It''s Helena. Violet left her phone here." Louis was definitely a demon from the hell to kill her! She was on the verge of heart attack! "Oh, Helena, I''m fine. Just asking, then I''ll hang up if there''s nothing else." Evie on the other end of the phone was quick to respond. Violet sighed with relief and hung up the phone. The man leaned over slightly and smirked. "Helena, why is my wife''s cell phone here with you? You two are too close to each other! Is it possible that you two are lesbians? But it seems not. After all, you were very N?velDrama.Org content. active that night when you hugged me, weren''t you?" The man''s cold breath approached with danger. Violet leaned back. Her eyes were dodging. "Here''s the thing. Violet is so focused when she''s busy. She''s afraid she''ll get dyed if someone calls her and she doesn''t hear them.so sometimes she just leaves her phone with me." It was really too tiring to pretend to be two people. The most scaring thing was that she was facing a horrible and scheming man! He looked unfathomable, which made her feel like an idiot in front of him. Her secret was about to get out?! ... The Johnson Group. "What do you mean? My cousin didn''t seed but went to the hospital instead? That bitch Helena was saved by Austin?" In the General Manager''s Office, Jasmine listened to her subordinate''s report and was furious. How came she didn''t get it again! That bitch. Was she having an affair with Austin too?! Jasmine was so furious that she started throwing things on her desk again. "Ms. Jasmine, I need to go to the hospital. My face is itchy." La pushed the door in and her fingers kept scratching her face. Her eyes fell on Jasmine''s face, and she was astounded. "Ms. Jasmine, your face ..." Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Violet returned to the styling studio. It waste and the store was alreafy closed. "Violet, you''re finally back." Evie was on the tiptoe of expectation. She took Violet''s hand with nervousness. "Were you just with Louis? How was it? It didn''t reveal, did it?" "It''s okay. Luckily you''re resourceful." Violetughed and patted her hand soothingly. "Scared the hell out of me." Evie let out a long breath and asked curiously, "Where were you two just now? Did something happen?" "It''s okay. Don''t worry about it. Let''s go back early." Not wanting her family to worry about her, she generally reported good news but no bad. "Oh." Evie didn''t ask any more questions and responded in a good manner. At that moment, there was amotion downstairs, and a woman''s shrill voice rang out. "Helena, get your ass out here!" The voice was a little familiar. Violet thought about it and smirked at the sight of the woman who appeared at the stairway. "Miss Johnson, what''s up?" Jasmine wore arge mask over her face and stared at her with fire in her eyes, like it was going to burn her. As soon as she removed the mask, she angrily said, "Helena, did you put something in the drink? You made me allergic!" The woman''s face was full of red bumps, looking creepy in the light. Violet raised an eyebrow, "Yes, I did." She was the one who purposely put something in the afternoon tea she gave Jasmine and La to make their faces allergic. After all, she was also very vindictive. For the sake of the Johnson Family, she couldn''t use Jasmine on public, but she had to teach her a lesson in private. "Helena, you''re looking for death, aren''t you?" Jasmine, hearing Violet''s admission, was so enraged that she raised one of her hands directly. Violet yanked her wrist, "Miss Johnson, I have cameras here. You''d better not do it, or we''ll all be embarrassed." "Fine, I won''t do it. I''m going to sue you!" Jasmine shook off her hand with hatred and pointed at her face, "You made my face look like this. Just wait until you shut your studio!" "Miss Johnson, you''ve heard the story of the wolf, right?" Violet wasn''t annoyed either but looked at Jasmine with a smile, "Do you think the public will believe you when you say your face was made like this by me?" After all, someone had just ndered her, but she had lightly turned the tide. Will the public believe Jasmine when she used her of messing up her face at this time? "You ..." Jasmine was choked and apparently had figured this out. she burned with anger. "Helena, because you''ve slept with my brother once, you think you have a backer behind you? Just wait. I will make you feel sorry!" This was a warning for her! Violet fished out a recorder and shook it. "Miss Johnson, I just recorded your warning! If anything happens to me in the future, you''ll be the first suspect." A wave of fury crashed through Jasmine. Ahhhhh! Helena the bitch! N?velDrama.Org content. She was totally pissed off! Looking at Jasmine''s exasperated look, Violet felt profoundly relieved. "Well, Miss Johnson, you''d better go to the hospital quickly. Be careful of your precious face. Don''t leave e marks on your face." Their grudges red up. "Helena, you bitch!" Jasmine stomped her feet in anger, rubbed her face and walked away quickly. Evie, who hadn''t left yet, patted her chest heartily. "Violet, she looks so spiteful. Not good at all." It was indeed! She was just a spoiled youngdy. Violet shook her head, "Well, hurry up and go back to rest." "Okay." Evie nodded and left. Violet started to organize the studio. Not long after, there was a sound of the door being opened downstairs. Immediately afterwards, a cheerful sound came on. "Mommy." Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Violet''s hands paused, and her eyes shed with surprise. It was her daughter back! "Erin." Violet opened her arms and embraced the little person who rushed towards her with her short legs. The smell of milk came over. Violet kissed on the little one''s face. Erin smiled cheekily, held Violet''s neck and kissed her too. "You haven''t seen each other for a week. Don''t be so mushy." Josie walked in and tidied her wavy hair around her ears. Her bright and beautiful face was written with dislike. Violet let go of the little one and smiled brightly towards Josie, "It''s been hard, Josie. Didn''t you say you''ll be back the day after tomorrow? Why in advance?" This was her best friend Josie. It could also be described as her benefactor. Josie''s family was rtively wealthy and her father liked to do charity work. And she became a poor student with her cousin during her senior year of high school because her aunt died. By chance, she received a grant from Josie''s father. Josie was two years older than her and was a beautiful and very individual woman. Probably because she had a pleasant face, the two who had met a few times were extraordinarily close. Josie was not snobbish and did not dislike her lowly status, and the two eventually became good friends who could talk everything to each other. "It''s Erin. Because you''re not allowed to have a video call with her at night, she''s angry and wants to Josie pinched the little one''s pink cheeks and grumbled. The little one grinned and leaned delicately on Violet''s side. Her little head rubbed against it. Josie snorted coldly and deliberately asked, "Erin, tell me, do you love Josie mommy or Angel mommy?" "Erin both love ah." The little one hugged Violet''s thigh and said in an naive voice. "Only one choice is allowed!" "Josie mommy is so fierce and mean." N?velDrama.Org content. "So, you love your Angel mommy more? You have no conscience. It is me who take care of you every day." Watching the interaction between a small and arge people, Violet''s heart was soft and happy. Josie was a very nice friend. It was just a pity that she didn''t meet a good man. Four years ago she married a director who was ten years older than her, but divorced in a sh. This was once a hot news of the upper ss in Crotosi City. After that, she vowed not to get married again. If she had the chance, she would adopt a child and live out her life in retirement. So, after she knew Violet was pregnant, she let Violet have the baby secretly and left Erin to her. That was how she raised Erin as if Erin was her own daughter for the past four years. "Come on, let''s go upstairs." Violet curled her lips and picked up the little one. The upstairs was where Josie lived. Josie bought the stores on the first and second floors as well as the residence on the third floor a long time ago. So, the real owner of the bakery and styling studio was Josie. And she and Evie were sort of her staff. The three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment was decorated in a cozy way. Violet yed with her daughter for a while, and the little one yawned. After helping her daughter take a bath and putting her to bed, Violet kissed her fragrant little face and exited the room. Outside the door, Josie had just finished her shower and was toweling off her wet curls. "Erin''s asleep?" "Hmm." Violet walked to the living room to pour herself a cup of water. "Violet, you and Louis do not divorce yet?" Violet shook her head with a look of helplessness. "What a pain in the ass! So won''t you be going back to the Johnson''s vi again soon?" She didn''t want to go back tonight! She had to stay home with her daughter! Violet was silent, "Not going back. I''ll send him a messageter." Josie looked her up and down and smiled delicately towards her, "Hey, tell me. What''s your impression of him?" That was a profound statement. Violet swallowed a mouthful of water and scolded with augh, "You''re horny. Can you stop asking such a boring question? It''s embarrassing, okay?" Her impression of Louis was that he was simr to the man she spent the night with four years ago. Chapter 26 Chapter 26 "Oops, I''m your best friend! Still shy with me." Josie came over, "Violet, look at Louis. He is tall and can you give a sense of security. And he''s handsome and rich. As long as you''re with him, you''ll have nothing to worry about in the future." Hearing this, Violet pushed Josie away. "What are you thinking? What about not getting a divorce and waiting for him to find out I lied to him?" "Huh? How can you call it a lie? When you married him, no one had asked that you had to be a virgin." "This is an unwritten rule of noble families!" No rich man can stand that his wife had given birth to a child with someone else before marriage. So, before Louis found out her secret, she had to divorce him as soon as possible! The Johnson Group. Louis was sitting in his executive chair, still working. The white clothes and ck pants still made him look noble and cold. Knock knock. Harry came in with food in his hand. "Mr. Johnson, you''ve been busy until now, so I ordered you something to eat." The aroma of the meal wafted through the air. Louis felt hungry at once. He rubbed his head and put down the task at hand. ¡°Tick.¡± He received a message on the phone. Louis picked it up and took a look at it. "Mr. Johnson, tonight my bosom friend is back home. I''ll have a small gathering at her house, so I won''t go back to the vi." His ugly wife was staying out all night tonight? She really had freedom to do whatever she wanted to. Louis'' dark eyes narrowed and his lips curled coldly. "Mr. Johnson, pleasee and dine." Harry called out from the rest area. Louis nced at the meal on the table and inexplicably lost his appetite. He wanted to eat Violet''s noodles! "Mr. Johnson, you asked me to check the woman who saved your life four years ago. There are some clues. At the moment, our men have locked on to a woman, and they are doing further confirmation." Harry looked at the message just sent by his subordinates and hurriedly reported to Louis. Louis'' hand with the chopsticks paused. Four years ago, he was at a party with Austin and some friends, and someone put something in his drink. At that time, he went into an adjacent room to get away from the effect, intending to deal with it himself. He didn''t expect someone to break in and be his antidote. His mind suddenly shed a certain beautiful face. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Why did Helena inexplicably remind him of the woman from four years ago!? ... The following day. Violet, who had been busy all morning, was then asked by Josie to an newly-opened private restaurant at noon. She opened the door of the private room, and someone was already inside. The man was in a casual suit. He was tall and good-looking. And he looked very warm and gentle. "Uncle Isaac." Erin broke away from Josie''s hand and sprinted towards him with her short legs. "Erin." Isaacughed as he picked Erin up and lifted her high in the air, making the little one giggle. "Isaac, don''t spoil her. I don''t have the energy to y with her like that at home." Josie joked with a smile. "It''s okay. I''ll take care of her if she''s spoiled." Isaac rubbed Erin''s head with a doting look. Violet curled her lips and served water for them. Isaac''s mother and Violet''s sister-inw were good friends. Isaac was two years older than her. They grew up together and wereparable to brother and sister. Therefore, he knew all about her. "Isaac, you''re too kind to invite us here for a meal." Josie sat down in her seat and took a sip of water. "I miss Erin. So as soon as I heard you guys were back from your trip, I was anxious to see you." Isaac carried the little one to a chair and gave her water. "Then the meal should be on us. And congrattions on your return from your study." Violet thought of something and said with a smile. Isaac was an architect and worked in an architectural firm of the Johnson Group after graduation. A year ago, he was sent abroad for further study at public expense, and just returned to the country recently. He was likely to take over the position of design director of the Johnson Group. His future was immeasurable. However, he was so excellent that caught somebody''s eye. No one knew why Jasmine fell in love with him. Because Jasmine saw that he came to the studio to find Violet as soon as he returned home, she took Violet as her imaginary enemy. So much so that it led her to have a sex with Louis. "Is there a difference between my invitation and yours? Violet, are you going to be so distant with me?" Isaac looked at Violet with disapproval. "Yes, it''s all the same." Josie opened her mouth and they kept chatting in other topics. Erin, who was looking at them with big eyes, moved her little body, slid out of the chair and ran out of the room. Outside. Austin led Louis toward the reserved room. "So, this is a nice ce. It''s worthy of being the most stylish restaurant in Crotosi City." This was a restaurant that he had invested a lot of money in. "You could be a little more cocky." Louis replied and prepared to turn around. But a little girl crashed with him. ¡°Ouch!¡± The soft little body fell to the ground. Louis stopped walking and hastily bent down to pick her up off the floor. "Are you okay?" The little girl was with two braids. Her small face was exquisite as a doll''s. Her big ck eyes looked at him fixedly, and the small mouthpressed sadly, "Erin''s butt is painful." The little girl''s voice was soft, mixed with grievance, making him feelpassionate. Louis'' heart inexplicably softened and his voice softened as well, "Your name is Erin, isn''t it? Uncle apologizes to you. It''s uncle''s fault for hurting you." "Well, Erin will forgive you if handsome uncle will be Erin''s daddy." This kid, why was she so funny? Louis'' heart shed with a strange feeling, "Erin, don''t you have a father?" "Now there is! It''s a handsome uncle, you!" Erin shed her big eyes and smiled sweetly. She was cute as hell. Louis'' heart softened again, "Erin, where''s your mommy?" She was such a cute little girl. Where was she from? "Mommy''s over there!" Erin pointed with her little fat finger not far away. But when she saw an ice cream cart passing by, she licked her little red lips, "Daddy, can you buy Erin ice cream?" "Yes." Louis readily agreed. In the room, the hotly chatting trio finally noticed that the little one was missing. Violet took the lead and rushed out of the room. "Erin, where are you?" Hearing the call, the little one who just got an ice cream looked up. "Mommy, I''m here." Violet heard Erin''s sound, and her footsteps stopped when she saw a man holding her daughter. It was Louis! Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Louis also saw Violet. At that moment, his eyebrows furrowed. The girl was her daughter? "Erin, how can you run around? Do you know mommy''s dying of fright?" Josie, who rushed out after her, gasped when she saw Louis. But she quickly calmed down, crossed over to Violet, and walked quickly to Louis. Louis'' eyesnded on Josie''s face and his eyes shed with suspicion, "This child is yours?" "Yes! You''re Louis Johnson, right? Erin, mommy hugs you." Josie smiled faintly and pped her hands towards Erin. The little girl gave Louis a look and leaned over towards Josie. Josie picked her up and saw she had an ice cream in her hand, "Who bought you ice cream?" "Daddy." Daddy? Whom did the little one call daddy? It was not Louis, was it? "Mr. Johnson, hello." Isaac walked over and said hello to Louis. Violet followed stiffly. Louis'' eyes swept over the two people, and Isaac gave a slight nod at him. "You all know each other?" He knew Isaac. After all, he was a very talented architect in his ownpany. "Yes, we came out for a get-together today." Isaac nced at Violet and smiled slightly. Violet was so nervous, hoping that Josie will take her daughter away soon. "Mr. Johnson, maybe you have social engagements. So we''ll leave." Josie spoke up at the right time, holding the little one in her arms as she prepared to leave. "Daddy, you haven''t left Erin your number! I''m going to have trouble finding you next time." Erin licked a mouthful of ice cream and spoke in an naive voice. Violet just felt her head explode and was almost thunderstruck. Why should her own daughter call Louis dad!? And she asked for his phone number! "Do you have a cell phone?" Louis smiled delightedly and looked at the little one with soft eyes. "Yes!" Erin touched a small cell phone hanging around her neck. Louis took it off, entered his phone number, and then dialed. "Okay." "Daddy, next time Erin calls you, you have to answer." Erin was happy and looked at Louis with a smile. "Okay." Louis grinned and felt softhearted. "Mr. Johnson, please don''t mind it." Josie hugged Erin tighter and forced a smile, "We''ll go over first then." "Hmm." "Bye bye daddy." Erin left without forgetting to say goodbye to Louis. Louis smiled and watched several people walk away. Violet, who was in front of them, almost tripped because she had a guilty conscience. Isaac was close behind,and rushed to help her. Louis'' eyes fell on Isaac''s hand.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. He remembered that Jasmine targeted Helena because of Isaac''s rtionship. Then Helena and Isaac ... "Louis, are you happy to be a father?" Austin, who had been acting as an invisible man, made a joke. Louis nced at him, straightened his clothes, and walked forwards. "So this is Josie''s daughter? I heard that she got married and divorced in a sh four years ago. Could it be that it is her ex-husband''s daughter?" Austin rubbed his chin, "But why do I feel like Erin looks a little more like your lover?" Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Erin and Helena looked alike? Louis''s footsteps stopped, and two faces shed in his mind. The same big eyes, and the same red cherry lips. It was of resemnce. "You''re idle? So gossipy!" "Hey, it''s just rare to meet Erin who looks so exquisite. I want to find someone to have a baby now." Private room. It wasn''t until the door closed that Josie let out a long breath and put Erin down. "She scared the hell out of me." She can''t believe Erin sneaked out and ran into Louis! "Erin, you stand still and don''t eat." Violet was serious and took the ice cream out of Erin''s hand. "Do you know you did something wrong?" The little girl licked her little mouth. And her big eyes still fixed on the ice cream. "I know it''s wrong." "What''s wrong?" "Erin shouldn''t be running around." "What else?" What else? The little one raised her eyes and looked at Violet with a puzzled expression. "How can you just call him dad? It''s rude, you know?" Violet gripped the little one''s shoulder, no smile on her face. "But the handsome uncle is not unhappy!" The little one blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion. Violet was speechless: "Erin, do you really want a daddy? You have me and Josie mommy, isn''t that enough?" "But kids all have dads! Erin wants one too." Erin tilted her head, "This way, with daddy raising Erin, Mommy doesn''t have to work too hard." She was so sweet. She must be God''s pity on her, a reward for her! "All right, all right, let''s eat first." Josie, seeing that Violet was a little agitated, picked up Erin and let her sit down in a chair. "Anyway, she is my daughter. He can''t find it out." They were both afraid Louis would find out the truth, but Erin was in Josie''s name. No one will know the truth. Isaac, who hadn''t said anything, nced at Violet and had desire to say something else. She and Louis were not yet divorced, and now Erin was calling Louis dad. There seemed to be something that pull Louis and Violet together. ... The Johnson Group. "Hey hey, did you guys hear that Cooper Burke was taken away by the relevant authorities!" "Yes, I just saw a inclothesmane and take him away." "I heard he''s suspected of several charges! But isn''t he a rtive of the Johnson Group?" "So what if he is a rtive of the family? Don''t forget that Mr. Johnson and Rosalie are not rted to each other. And Mr. Johnson will not let Rosalie''s rtives take power!" "Why so sudden?" "..." The employees were talking, and Jasmine was so angry as she watched Cooper being taken away. Needless to say, this must be Louis'' doing. He suddenlyunched an attack at Cooper because Cooper almost slept with Helena yesterday? It was all because of that bitch Helena! "Miss Jasmine, Mr. Burke was investigated by the relevant departments, even Manager Jacob was fired. And the newly appointed head of the recreation department is Mr. Johnson''s man." La hurried over and reported the personnel changes to Jasmine. Jasmine''s face got even worse. "This is the recreation section I''m in charge of. Why does he interfere?!" Just because he was the head of the Johnson Group!? La was bellyaching, thought of something and asked: "Miss Jasmine, Jacob has a contract with Helena''s Studio. It has not been officially signed. For the artist makeup, you see ..." At that moment, Jasmine snorted coldly, and her eyes shed with coldness. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. "You have said that the new general manager is Louis'' man. Do you think Helena will not be able to get this contract? However, it''s not that easy for her to take the business smoothly. Come here and listen to me ..." Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Violet had always been thinking about her contract with the Johnson Group. In the afternoon, she made a phone call to the Johnson Group and was told that there was a change in personnel and the contract she was about to sign had to be put on hold. Violet was a little helpless. A change in leadership meant that the previous cooperation was uncertain. After all, a new official would apply strict measures. No one knew how strict the new measures were. She felt a little bit wronged because she had been following this order for a long time. All things were ready, justcking a final step. She would be so upset if she lost the chance! Suddenly, the image of Louis shed in her mind. He was the biggest boss of the Johnson Group, and if he can give his nod, then she had nothing to worry about in terms of business. Could she go and talk to him for a favor? "Helena, are you gonna leaveter?" Josie asked as she carried Erin into the studio. Violet returned to her senses and looked at the time. It was night time again. It was logical that she would have to put on ugly makeup again and go back to the vi. That was really troublesome. "Mommy, where are you going? Don''t you want Erin anymore?" Erin got off from Josie and wrapped her arms around Violet''s thighs. "How can it be? Don''t you know about it? Mommy got a part-time job while you were on your trip. I''ll go make moneyter, and when you wake up, mommy will be back." Violet''s almond eyes shed and she made an excuse. "Mommy doesn''t work so hard. I don''t want you to earn money." Erin hugged Violet''s thigh tightly andpressed her lips in grievance. Violet felt distressed. "Okay, mommy''s not going anywhere. Just stay home with Erin." She was not going back to the vi. She had to stay home with her daughter. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Violet took out her phone and sent a message to Louis. "Mr. Johnson, I have something to do tonight, so I won''t go back to the vi." They were getting divorced anyway. She thought Louis should not care if she returned to the vi or not. "Violet, have you forgotten that you''re married? Do you need me to pick you up?" Louis'' message came back quickly. There was arrogance between the lines. Violet gripped her phone tightly, feeling speechless. She didn''t want to talk to him, but she was also afraid that Louis would reallye pick her up. "Got it, will be backter." Putting down her phone, Violet looked into her daughter''s big, dark eyes and just felt guilty. She wanted a quick divorce! "Come on, mommy will walk you upstairs." "Mommy, are you really not going to make money?" "Yes, I have to stay with my little princess." After putting her daughter to bed, Violet put on ugly makeup, changed her clothes, and drove back to the vi. The vi was lit up and Louis, dressed in gray housecoat, was sitting in the living room, working. His reserved and cold temperament, with his clothes, seemed to subside. But his domineering aura was still not to be ignored. "Mr. Johnson, I''m back." Violet said hello to him. Louis lifted his eyes slightly and raised his hand to look at his watch. "It''s almost ten o''clock, Violet. And your bakery is doing great business at night." "Because I need to prepare tomorrow''s ingredients in the evening." Violet forced a smile and made an excuse. Louis nced at her, but did not continue to scold her. "I''m hungry." So, he wanted her toe back so she can cook for him? She was being treated like a servant! Violet bellyached in her heart, "What would Mr. Johnson like to eat?" "Noodles." Chapter 30 Chapter 30 His reply was straight to the point. So, he liked the noodles she made for him the night before? Didn''t he say that it was barely ptable? It turned out that he was such an arrogant man. Violet snorted lightly in her heart and turned to go into the kitchen. Louis stopped his work and watched the woman''s slim back. His thin lips lightly pursed. And his stomach was a little empty. He wouldn''t tell her that he had only eaten little in dinner and was waiting for her toe back and give him something to eat. "Okay, Mr. Johnson, it''s ready to eat." It didn''t take long for Violet to bring the cooked noodles to the table. The air was filled with the aroma of food. Louis sat down and ate gracefully. Violet sat across from him. Her almond eyes were sparkling. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. "Mr. Johnson, I heard from Helena that the top management of yourpany is making changes. And her business has been put on hold? I know Helena has put a lot of effort into taking this order. There is no doubt about her ability. Mr. Johnson, for the sake of our acquaintance, would you still give her the order?" Now that she was back to the vi, she tried to mention it to Louis. Louis''s noodle-eating motion gave a pause, and his dark eyes lifted slightly, ncing at her. "I remember you saying that Helena is a friend of you and Josie, right?" Why did he suddenly change the topic? Violet froze and nodded, "Yes." "I saw Helena and Josie, and Josie''s daughter, in a restaurant today." Louis put his chopsticks down and took a tissue to wipe his mouth elegantly, "Isn''t Josie divorced? Where does her daughtere from?" This question was ... What was he trying to ask? Violet''s nerves were slightly tense, "Mr. Johnson, I''m sorry. This is Josie''s privacy and I''m not at liberty to disclose it." "Is it inconvenient, or can''t you reveal it?" Louis''s dark eyes were deep, "Why do I think her daughter looks like Helena. Could Helena have given birth to her with a man?" Why was he so sensitive? "Mr. Johnson, please be careful with your words. The joke is not funny." Violet got up and lowered her eyes to hide the weakness underneath them. "Since you don''t want to get involved in Helena''s business, just forget what I said. You take your time eating. I''ll go upstairs first." If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that her secret will be revealed by him. "Violet, Helena is so good at her craft. Do you think she''ll have the whim to y ugly on purpose and y two roles in one?" His maic voice caused Violet to stagger and almost fall over. She hurriedly held onto the wall, pushed her ck-rimmed sses and gave a fake smile, "Mr. Johnson, you really love making jokes." It was over. She had a hunch that Louis must have known her real identity! What to do? "For the contract, just have Helena go to thepany tomorrow and see the person in charge." What he said lifted Violet''s spirits. "Thank you, Mr. Johnson." Anyway! As long as he did not expose her secret, she would pretend not to know anything, and continue to y ugly! Until the divorce! Violet hurried upstairs and Louis smiled lightly. For the sake of her good cooking skills, he just waited and watched. To see what other secrets she was hiding! ... The following day. The Johnson Group. Violet met the new director, Olly Tran. He was Harry''s brother. She finally signed the contract. "Miss Helena, there is an artist named Sasha ck. She will be in the group soon. Can you work now?" inquired Olly. "Yes." responded Violet. "Okay, please follow me." Lounge. La poured a ss of water for Sasha. "Sasha, Miss Jasmine has tried her best, but there is no way, because Mr. Burke strongly rmended you. And now he has taken away, so you really can not keep the third character, but to be reced as the fourth character." Hearing these words, Sasha tugged her fingers tighter and her eyes reddened a bit. "It was so sudden. Mr. Burke, how did he have an ident?" "Hey, it''s because of Helena from RW Styling Studio!" Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Hearing La''s words, Sasha faintly stared. "Did she cause Mr. Burke''s trouble?" "Yeah, she''s the one who got Mr. Burke in trouble." La said: "This woman is very scheming, with the means to climb into Louis''s bed. She even ignored our Manager Jasmine. She is slutty by nature and likes to get around with men. Yesterday in order to take the make-up business, deliberately went to find Mr. Burke and Manager Jacob, and socializing." "But it was a coincidence that Mr. Johnson saw the scene at that time. Men, for the women they have yed, even if they do not love will not let other men get their hands on. So, Mr. Burke and Manager Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Jacob are unlucky to have an ident." A statement that made Violet look like a shameless girl. Sasha''s face changed for a moment as she listened. She knew that Cooper liked to y with women. And she was also one of Cooper''s lovers. She was a young model who was less famous before, and made great effort to hit on Cooper, and only after her tireless efforts did she coax Cooper to start promoting her and give her a third female role in a drama. Although Cooper was promiscuous, he was still generous to his women. He promised her that he would slowly turn her into a first-rate star. She thought she was going to be famous, but Cooper suddenly had an ident. The circle was full of snobs. She took the third female role, which was originally not earned by her own, but with Cooper''s connections to get it. Now when something happened to him, her role will naturally be taken by someone with a backstage supporter. This result, did it turn out to be caused by that Helena? "Sasha, I feel sorry for you. They only look for younger actresses. You are not a professional actress and only relying on Mr. Burke. You are about to be famous, but ......" La sighed, "If this happen to me, I won''t let it go." That was it! Anyone who encountered this kind of thing will be indignant. Sasha''s chest rose and fell, and her eyes shed with a cold aura. La watched her with cold eyes. With Sasha''s distressed face, she knew Sasha was taking her words to heart. At that moment, she saw Ollying with Violet. "Sasha, Helena ising over. She should be your makeup artistter and apany you into the set." Sasha raised her eyes and looked at Violet with an unfriendly look. "Helena, this is Sasha," Olly introduced each other. "Hi, I''m Helena," Violet greeted Sasha with a smile. Sasha nced at her coldly, got up arrogantly and left straight away. Violet: "......" This actress was so arrogant. Watching a few people leave, La exhaled. Manager Jasmine handed over the task shepleted, next it was up to Sasha to take the bait. Violet took apany-assigned car and went into a suburban film and television set with Sasha. Along the way, Violet saw Sasha was on her phone and didn''t pay any attention to her, so she was happy to rx and take a look at the relevant information. When she got into the film set, she was in the dressing room ready to do Sasha''s makeup. Sasha yed the fourth female chracter. Because it was the viin, makeup needed to be heavier a little. "Miss ck, let me confirm again, your skin for cosmetics, there is no special attention needed right?" Violet asked out of habit. Sasha nced at her coldly, "Isn''t it all there on my profile? Helena, did you not read the profile at all? I really doubt your professionalism." What a furious tone. Violet''s smile faded slightly, somewhat inexplicably. She didn''t know what she had done to offend her. With the idea that the customer was God, she didn''t bother with her. "Then I''m going to start putting on makeup." Probably some actresses were like that. Not famous but extremely arrogant, which wasparable to superstars. Chapter 32 Chapter 32 "Helena, haven''t you already climbed into Mr. Johnson''s bed? Why do you still have to work as a waitress? Oh, I get it, you want to build up your self-improvement persona in front of Mr. Johnson, right? Unfortunately, Mr. Johnson is married, and a mistress is a mistress, only to be yed with." Sasha saw that Violet was not paying attention to her and gave a cold sarcastic remark. Violet''s hands moved and her expression faded. "Miss ck, please don''t talk. I''m working." The woman''s self-effacing appearance made Sasha look like an iprehensible provocateur. Sasha red at her, "What? You have nothing more to say? Yes, you can only shut up in front of the truth." "Miss ck, the makeup is done. Take a look. Are you satisfied?" Violet did not take her words, quickly finished her makeup and said in a light voice. Sasha subconsciously shifted her eyes to the mirror. When she saw the woman in the mirror with heavy foundation, she couldn''t help but scream, "Helena, do you know how to put on makeup? What the hell are you putting on me?" At that moment, Violet looked innocent, "Miss ck, I put on your makeup ording to the persona given in the script. Are you not satisfied? Do you think it''s not viinous enough? Then I can draw your eyeliner a little higher to make you look more fierce." Sasha: "......" She wanted to make it look more sinister? With her current makeup, she bet she''ll never get a positive role in the future! "Helena, did you do that on purpose!? Did you make me so ugly on purpose?" Sasha was so angry that her voice sharpened a few notches. "Howe? I''m very professional." Violet said seriously, "Miss ck, you are ying a big viin. Do you want me to make you look like a pitiful little girl?" She just did it on purpose! Deliberately applied her makeup towards the fierce look. It was all because she talked so badly. So, one can''t offend the makeup artist! "You ......" Sasha was furious. "Miss ck, sit down for a minute. I go to the bathroom." Violet didn''t bother to talk to her and went to the bathroom. Sasha twisted her face with a sinister sh in her eyes. Bathroom. "You guys, look at that makeup on Sasha. It really made meugh." "She was also unlucky. I heard that the person who promoted her was Cooper of the Johnson Group, but Cooper was sent to prison by Louis, and as a result, her original role became the number four role." "I also heard a tip that the reason Cooper was sent to prison by Louis was he offended that makeup Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. artist Helena." "Oh my God, no wonder Sasha looks at Helena like she wants to kill her." "......" A few actresses chattered from outside, and Violet was slightly stunned. Her heart was full of surprise. So Cooper was sent to prison by Louis? Relief! But how could it be because of her? Some people just loved to spread gossip. But she also finally understood why Sasha had gotten so hostile towards herself. Violet went back to the dressing room and continued to apply the makeup. The rest of the time, Sasha did not continue to embarrass her. Just cold as if they owed her millions of dors. By the time Sasha''s work was done, it was already evening. Violet sighed with relief and went home with thepany car. Once in the car, Violet rubbed her swollen eyes and began to close her eyes to rest. Until a sudden brake on the car startled her and she was awake. Chapter 33 Chapter 33 "What''s wrong with that car? can you drive ah? Can you even hit this?" The driver grumbled and got out of the car, ready to argue with the other party. Violet sat in the back row, rubbed her eyes, and looked out. It turned out to be a crash. They car was going straight, while the other van was traveling ...... Not waiting for Violet to think about it, she saw several masked men get out of that car. One of them grabbed the driver and knocked him out. The other two opened the back door and, without being told, pulled Sasha and her out of the car. "What do you want?" Sasha shouted in terror. Violet was equally startled, "Who are you? What do you want?" "Cut the crap and get in the car." The man in ck pushed the two into the car. The car sped away. Violet''s heart was beating violently as she watched the car go further and further off course, her heart sinking further and further down. "Who the hell are you guys? Why are you arresting us?" The film and television base was located in the suburb, which was remote. Did they meet kidnappers? Trying to kill people with money? "Please let us go. Do you want money? I''ll give you money." Sasha paled and kept begging. The man in ck looked at her, reached out and touched her face andughed, "You''re star? You look so beautiful. We want money, but want people too." "Haha, look at you. You''re more beautiful than her. I''ll satisfy you." The man in ck who was holding Violet wrapped his arms around her waist, and his hands fumbled unruly. "Let go of me, don''t touch me." Violet''s elbow mmed into the ck man''s chest, while her hand quickly fumbled for her bag. The man in ck hissed and his eyes shed with fierce light. "Bitch, how dare you hit me? Do you believe it or not, I''ll rape you now." With that, he pulled her by the hand and began to tear her clothes. "Get out of the way." Violet quickly took the pepper spray she carried from her bag and sprayed the ck man in the eyes. "Ah!" With a grunt, the man in ck let go of Violet. Violet took a swipe at the other two ck-d men. The car was filled with the howls of the men in ck. The driver cursed and stopped the car. Violet took the opportunity to open the car door and said to the dumbfounded Sasha: "What are you still doing? Run!" T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Sasha didn''t expect things to turn out this way at all. She let out a sound, pretending to be startled, and stumbled and fell into the back seat. The man in ck on one side wiped his eyes and snapped her up. "Stop right there, you stinking bitch." Violet was anxious, seeing the remaining two ck men were going to get out of the car to chase her. Not to care about other, she grabbed the bag and run. "Stop, I''ll catch you. See if I can''t kill you." Behind them came the sound of cursing and swearing from the men in ck. Violet ignored it and ran without a care. Ahead was a three-way intersection. She turned a corner and prepared to cross the street. At that moment, a car was speeding up. The headlights flickered and shot out a blinding glow. Violet subconsciously stopped and reached out to block the light. Only a "PANG" was heard. Violet only felt her body being ejected and then floated down from the air like a parab. A huge pain came from her head and her eyes went ck, only to see the lights on the side of the road getting dimmer and dimmer. There was also a man figure walking over, warm face written with surprise and anxiety. "Violet, wake up." Well! Why did she seem to hear Isaac''s voice? Could it be that the person who hit her was Isaac? ...... Lyonhall Vi. Louis has lifted his wrist more than once to check the time. The knife-sharp, handsome face was getting colder and colder. It was ten o''clock and the woman wasn''t back yet! Not even a single message came. Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Did she want to stay out all night again? Louis swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the smell of noodles seemed to waft past his nose. This woman, what was she up to? Didn''t know he was waiting for her toe back to cook noodles for dinner? Louis watched the phone on the table, and his slender fingers reached over. He found Violet''s phone and dialed it. Instead, an icy female voice came over the telephone receiver. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off." It was off! She actually turned off her cell phone! It was definitely intentional! Afraid to order her back! The man''s breath around him sank fiercely, and a handsome face was clouded with gloom. At that moment, the phone suddenly rang. Louis'' eyes lit up slightly and he quickly picked up his phone. Erin? Was that the call from the kid? The aura around Louis was slightly converged. "Hello?" "Daddy." The soft and sticky voice of the little toddler came from the phone, which made people''s hearts soft. Louis'' eyebrows unconsciously softened a few points. "Erin, why are you still up thiste?" "Well, because Mommy isn''t home yet." Her mommy? Josie? Why did she leave her child alone at home at night? "Where did your mommy go? Why isn''t she back yet?" Louis asked in a soft voice. "Mommy goes to make money for Erin because Erin can eat too much. So Daddy, can you help Mommy feed Erin?" Erin''s soft and sticky words made Louis listen and couldn''t help but curl his lips. This child was also too knowledgeable. But was Josie very short of money? She should be from a good family. Louis was thoughtful, "Erin, are you home alone now?" "No oh, Josie Mommy was in the shower bath and I sneak a call to Daddy." T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Josie Mommy? Why was the word Josie added to the name Mommy? Could it be that the mommy she was talking about was not Josie? "Erin, isn''t Josie Mommy the mommy who goes out and makes money for you?" "Well, no, it''s Angel Mommy who goes out to make money for Erin." Angel Mommy! This child, how many mommies did she have? Louis'' eyes twitched slightly, "Erin, how many mommies do you have?" "Well, one, two, Erin has two mommies, Josie Mommy, Angel Mommy, and they all love Erin so much! Hee hee. Daddy, do you love Erin?" The little one had two mommies! So, her other mommy, meaning Helena? Did it mean that she was not Josie''s real daughter? "Well, I love Erin, too." Louis'' dark eyes were deep as he spoke softly. "Hehehe, Daddy, I can''t talk to you. I hear Josie Mommy finishing bath and Josie Mommy will be mad at me if she sees Erin still up." "Good, go to bed early and have a good night." "Good night, Daddy." The phone hung up and Louis looked at it, his dark eyes deep in concentration. So, where did Helena go sote? These few of them, what was their rtionship? ...... Ouch! Especially the head, like needles. Violet frowned and slowly opened her eyes. The ceiling was unfamiliar. Here was ...... Chapter 35 Chapter 35 "Violet, you''re awake?" Isaac was overjoyed to see that Violet was awake. "Isaac, is it really you? This is a hospital?" Violet struggled to get up and looked around, remembering everything. She and Sasha were kidnapped and she escaped. Finally hit by a car. The person driving the car was Isaac. "Yes, I''m sorry I bumped into you." Heartbroken and apologetic, Isaac leaned a pillow against her back. "No, I should thank you. If you hadn''t hit me, I''m afraid I would have been taken away." Violet still had palpitations when she thought of those kidnappers. She didn''t know if those people did anything to Sashater. "What''s going on? How did you end up in such an isted ce? Who is trying to arrest you?" Isaac froze slightly and asked in a rush. "I don''t know." Violet shook her head and told the story.N?velDrama.Org content. Those kidnappers suddenly appeared, looking not like passing by by chance, but rather like a premeditated. Who were theying for? Was it Sasha or was it her? "Are these jerks so bold?" Isaac had an indignant look on his face. Her eyes fell on her head, and the back of her head bulging arge bag. "It''s lucky you were smart enough to escape. It''s also lucky that you fell into the flower bed when you were hit by my car, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable." He just happened to be visiting a client in the suburbs today who wanted to remodel a vi. He didn''t expect to bump into Violet when he came out. Fortunately, too, he was the one who bumped into her. So she fell into the flower bed? Violet was thankful that she was lucky. "Isaac, what time is it? Where is this ce? It doesn''t look like a city hospital." Isaac looked at the time, "It''s already five in the morning. Because you were unconscious, I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I hung up the emergency room at the hospital in the suburbs." It was already the second day! Violet was startled, "Where''s my bag? I haven''t been back all night. Josie and Erin are going to be anxious." "Don''t worry, I already talked to Josie, you''re with me." Isaac handed her the bag. Violet breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Isaac. It''s a good thing I met you today." Not then the consequences were truly unthinkable. "Violet, there''s no need to be so rusty with me. You know, I''ll always be there for you whenever you need me." The bottom of the man''s eyes were full of affection, and Violet eyes shed and moved away. "Isaac, I told you, I''m never going to get married in this life. I just want to bring Erin up." She knew that Isaac liked her. But she had a child, and she can''t be with him anymore. He deserved a better girl. "I respect your decision." Isaac had a gentle look on his face, "Violet, I just want to be there for you and Erin, and nothing more." "But ......" "Well, do you have to talk to me about this early in the morning?" Isaac interrupted Violet, "Are you dizzy? I''ll call the doctor." "I''m fine. I have to hurry back." Violet shook her head and took her phone out of her bag and found that it was off. Last night she was unknown all night, so she guessed Louis will give her a hard time. After all, he had reminded her again and again that she was now married and could not stay out all night. So she had to go back first. "Isaac, I''m going to put on some makeup and then go back to the vi to get some things." Chapter 36 Chapter 36 At that moment, Isaac wanted to say something, but then stopped. But in the end, all he said was, "I''ll drive you back." He said that he respected all her decisions. Lyonhall Vi. Louis came down from upstairs. A handsome face was the usual expressionless one. The aroma of food wafted in the air, his eyes moved slightly, and his steps were a few points faster. "Good morning, young master." Lucy, who came out of the kitchen, said hello to Louis. Louis''s footsteps lurched and disappointment shed in his dark eyes. It turned out to be Lucy. He also thought that ...... Louis thin lips lightly pursed, and he looked towards the window. At the sight of a man and a woman outside, his eyes sank abruptly. At that moment, Violet, in a man''s coat, was being helped by Isaac towards the vi. She was with Isaac and that was why she didn''te home all night? Very good! Louis'' thin lips pursed into a straight line, his face as cold as ice. Outside. "Well, Isaac, I''m here, so hurry up and get back." Violet walked to the vi''s door and gestured for Isaac to go back. "Okay, remember to call me if you need anything." Isaac made a gesture of making a phone call and then turned to leave. Violet curled her lips and opened the door of the vi. "Mrs. Johnson, you''re back." Lucy greeted she and whispered, "The young master waited for you for a long timest night, hurry up and coax." Louis waited for her for a long timest night? That must be a rage! Violet smiled dryly and looked inside. In the living room, Louis stood at the window with his hands in his pockets, his long figure very upright. Violet walked up to him, "Mr. Johnson, I''m sorry aboutst night ......" "Violet! Or, should I call you Helena?" The man spoke abruptly, and his eyes were full of mocking coldness. Violet''s word was stuck in her throat, and her face changed again and again. He really guessed who she was! Was it time for a showdown with her? "Mr. Johnson ......" "Why? Why do you have to dress up like this to marry into the Johnson Family, to make it easier for you to hook up on the outside?" Louis slowly approached Violet, and the hostile aura emanating from his body was like a rakshasa from hell. Violet swallowed hard and unconsciously stepped back until she was cornered. "No, Mr. Johnson ......" "Still want to quibble? Violet, is it not you who humiliated me by following my stepmother''s orders and fooling around with men outside?" Louis was so angry that he mmed his fist into the wall. The thud was like a smash on the tip of her heart. Violet''s nerves were on edge. "Mr. Johnson, I didn''t." "No?" Louis cupped her chin, "Then tell me, who was the man who just sent you back? Violet, you didn''t live here every day during the year I was away. You were with him, right?" Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. The man''s surroundings were full of hostility, and the force under his hands increased, making Violet''s already dizzy head even more ufortable. "Mr. Johnson, I have nothing to say when my identity is revealed by you, but please don''t nder me. Isaac and I are just ordinary friends, and we have nothing." "Heh, Isaac ? What an affectionate name!" Louis ripped the jacket off her, "Staying out all night, being with him,ing back in the morning in his clothes, and you''re telling me that you''re innocent with him?" Violet was simply speechless, "Mr. Johnson, I don''t want to exin anything. Believe it or not. Our agreement is up, and if you don''t believe me, we can go through the divorce tomorrow." Chapter 37 Chapter 37 The woman''s tone was t and revealed a sense of openness. Louis looked fixedly at the ugly face in front of him, and his heart could not say whether he was more angry or more furious. "Violet, are you in such a hurry to get a divorce? Do you want to be with your outside lover soon? Knowing that my grandmother likes you, do you think there''s nothing I can do about you? Hmm?" The man''s tone was chilly, and the approaching dangerous aura made Violet feel the dizziness in her head hit her again. Her body went limp and she slid downward somewhat unsteadily on her feet. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "You ......" Louis rushed to hold her up, only to find that her clothes were torn in many ces. At that moment, his brow was furrowed. But the tone was still full of sarcasm. "Violet,st night with your lover, even your clothes are torn." Violet: "......" How can his words be so poisonous! "Mr. Johnson, you misunderstood. Yesterday I was met with robbers." Violet leaned into Louis'' arms and finally had the strength to defend herself. With a shock, Louis helped her to sit down on the sofa. The sanity that was lost because of the anger was brought back online. "What''s going on?" "Here''s the thing ......" Violet touched a piece of the bag on the back of her head, slowed down, and recounted the events of yesterday. Louis listened carefully, and the look on his face gradually returned to its usual cold, arrogant detachment. So she didn''t mean not toe back? Did she meet the kidnappers? Who was going after her? As his eyes fell on her face and looked at her makeup, Louis'' newly dissipated anger rose a few more notches. "Violet, you haven''t made it clear why you''re dressed up like this?" He can''t believe she tricked everyone! When she heard this, Violet''s eyes shed and she pushed her sses. "Because I want to start a new life after I divorce you. By then, no one will know that I was once Mrs. Johnson, and in that way, I will live morefortably." As soon as the divorce was finalized, the former Mrs. Ugly of the Johnson Family became a transient person. She, on the other hand, will be able to start a new life with her daughter in her original appearance. Hearing Violet''s exnation, Louis snorted coldly, "Just because of this reason? Violet, you are so scheming. I doubt your words." Violet pushed her sses again, hiding the weakness under her eyes and pretending to be innocent. "Mr. Johnson, if you don''t believe me. There''s nothing I can do." Louis nced at her, and his eyes were full of insightful inquiry. Violet hastily changed the subject. "I need to call Sasha. I don''t know how she is now." With that, she took her phone out of her bag and charged it, and when it was on, she found out Sasha''s number and dialed it. The phone was answered after two rings. "Hello?" "Miss ck, it''s Helena. Are you okay?" The person on the other end of the phone was silent and said, "It''s okay, and then I escaped. And you? From the sound of your voice, you should also be fine, right?" It was good that she was okay. Although she didn''t have a good feeling about Sasha, she didn''t want to stand by and watch something happen to her. "Yes, I''m fine." Violet thought for a moment and asked, "Miss ck, who do you think those men in ck wereing for? Could it be that someone wants to punish you?" Sasha was an entertainer. Could it be that other artists were jealous of her and thus bought to ruin her? "You mean I dragged you into this? Helena, since everyone is fine and I don''t want to pursue this any further. Let''s just leave it at that." After saying that, Sasha hung up the phone directly. Violet stared nkly at the screen, pondering. There was an indescribable feeling in the heart. It was like Sasha knew who did it, but she didn''t want to pursue it. Chapter 38 Chapter 38 "She''s okay?" Louis called Harry while Violet was on the phone with Sasha and asked him to look into the matter. "Well, she''s fine." "I''ll have someone check this out. You don''t have to go with the crew today. Rest at home." Louismanded in a light voice. When a man did not lose his temper, the words spoken were still quite pleasant. Violet said carefully, "I''m not going to the set, but I have to go to the store." Louis looked at her coldly with displeasure. "Mr. Johnson, I''ll go to the store and arrange my affairs, then promise to get some rest." The woman''s tone was full of careful pleasing. Louis felt inexplicablyfortable. He nced at her and burst out words, "As you wish." Violet breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the man''s side face, and tried again, "Mr. Johnson, since my identity has been revealed by you, can we go ahead and get the formalities done? Don''t worry, I''ll keep my mouth shut on grandma''s side and promise not to reveal anything." She had to divorce him in a hurry! Otherwise, she was afraid that another secret of hers would be discovered by him! "So anxious to divorce me? Afraid I''ll sue you for cheating on your marriage?" Louis'' face didn''t look too good. The breath around the body sank. Violetughed dryly and was speechless for a moment. Louis slowly moved closer to her, his voice was cold, "Violet, if you don''t want me to sue you, keep ying the role of Mrs. Johnson until I tell you to stop. And please always remember who you are and don''t let me see you with another man again." Wanted a divorce that badly? Was it because she was anxious to get rid of him and stay with other men? The heart was inexplicably upset! Watching the man stride off to the dinning room, Violet pushed up her sses and sighed helplessly. What would it take for her to get a quick divorce! In an apartment. Sasha looked at the man who waszily sitting on the sofa ying a game and angrily scolded, "Bro, you stille to ask me for money? Look at yourself, what kind of people are you looking for? You can''t even handle a woman!" She was dying of anger! What happened yesterday was all her own doing. She thought it would be foolproof, but she didn''t want to lose everything. "You did not say that the woman is so powerful ah? All right, all right, don''t worry, the brothers are not masked? They won''t be discovered." The man tossed his phone, "Quick. Give me the money." "Brother, did you go gambling again?" "Don''t nag, hurry up." "......" Studio. "Mommy, you''re not being good and you''re hiding from Erin again! Daddy said he will support me, you don''t have to work so hard." Erin hugged Violet. Violet cried andughed and was about to speak when Josie''s eyes moved, "Erin,st night, did you call someone?" Erin hastily covered her little mouth, revealing a pair of big eyes. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Violet had a headache and just felt like there was a ticking time bomb around her. She didn''t know when it was going to blow up. She pulled her daughter''s little hand down and asked softly, "What did you and the person talk about "Well, Daddy asked me how many mommies I had, and I said, there are two. A Josie Mommy, and an Angel Mommy." Violet: "......" She felt like she was about to expose her other secret too! "Erin, he''s not your dad, no more calls to him." "Handsome Uncle is as good looking as Erin. I want him to be my dad." Erin blinked her big eyes with a dumb look. Violet got even more of a headache and was about to speak up when Josie, who was standing by, tugged on her shirt and whispered in her ear. "Violet, don''t you think Erin and he look a bit alike? And the two of them were sopatible as soon as they met. When you were out at a hotel owned by the Johnson Group, do you think that there could be a possibility ......" Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Hearing Josie''s words, Violet froze slightly. The Pce Hotel, where she worked part-time, was indeed part of the Johnson Group. Can it be that coincidental? "Don''t guess blindly. There''s no such dramatic thing." Violet said it was impossible, but the thought of being with Louis twice made her heart flutter. Shouldn''t she find a chance to confirm it? "Erin, go over there and y by yourself." Violet suppressed her thoughts and sent her daughter away. "Josie, Louis has found out who I am." "What? This man is too sophisticated! And then what happened? And he didn''t find out further?" Josie''s eyes widened in shock. "No." Violet shook her head. Josie''s pretty almond eyes rolled up and down as she looked Violet up and down. "Violet, do you think, Louis likes you? After all, the restored appearance of you is also considered a clear and beautiful beauty." Louis likes her? How was it possible! "Josie, don''t make a wild guess. He didn''t divorce me just for the old Mrs. Johnson. He is very filial." He was an arrogant and poisonous man. How could he possibly like her? "Violet, look, we should find out who Erin is first. If she''s really Louis'' daughter, then we''ll all be happy and won''t have to get a divorce." Josie looked at the little girl who was ying with the doll, and the more she looked at it, the more she thought it looked like Louis. Violet pursed her lips, but her fingers curled up slightly. Was it really possible that her own daughter was Louis''? Office of the President, the Johnson Group. Harry pushed the door in. "Mr. Johnson, I found a little clue about the kidnapping of Miss Helena. It was done by some punks from the western suburbs, and the person who ordered it is called Hugo ck." Hugo ck? Louis narrowed his eyes, "Go on." "This man is a gambler. Our people used some tricks to force him to confess the main messenger, it''s his sister Sasha ......" N?velDrama.Org content. Harry told the story of Sasha and Cooper''s rtionship. Louis'' thin lips pursed, the corners of his mouth curved in a cold arc. So that was it! "If it''s true, let the relevant authorities handle it." "Yes." ...... Balridge Manor. Rosalie leaned back on the bed, her eyes red and obviously crying. Cooper was caught and she used her connections to get him out, but couldn''t. People who knew her well had hinted to her that it wasn''t that they weren''t helping, but that Louis had specifically asked them to do so ording to thew. With such a person watching intently, who would they dare to pluck hair from the tiger''s head? Louis! This illegitimate son, how can he not give her any face! Rosalie was so angry that she mmed everything on her bedside table to the floor. Jasmine came in and saw the mess. "Mom, you''re still angry? It will your health." Rosalie took the tissue Jasmine handed her and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Louis, this wild bastard. Howe you can''t get him to die?" The bastard was lucky. He passed safely even the car ident a year ago. Was she going to live under his contrl all the time? "No. The Johnson Family will be in charge by him from now on, so where else can we talk?" Jasmine was also indignant, "Now I''m angry when I see him and that ugly." Ugly and bastard, what a perfect match! Rosalie calmed down, looked ahead into the void, said quietly: "I can''t let Louis be so pleased with himself. Didn''t he send Cooper to jail for Violet''s bosom friend? Then I''ll let him go down for that too!" Hearing this, Jasmine froze, "Mom, what you mean is ......" Violet had just gotten out of the police station when she got the call from Rosalie. Her kidnappers were caught. She can''t believe that Sasha ordered it to be done. No wonder she said on the phone that she didn''t want to investigate it. But just because she didn''t want to investigate it, it didn''t mean it was over. When someone did something wrong, they should pay for it. Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Violet shook her head and picked up the phone. "Rosalie." "Make a trip back to Balridge Manor tomorrow to get ready for the dinner." Rosalie''s hard voice came over the phone. She was asked to return home tomorrow and prepare for the dinner. And the dinner, which was held at the Pce Hotel, was a session ceremony for Louis. It was a grand asion. Violet hung up the phone and looked at it thoughtfully. Her identity had now been revealed by Louis. So will she go tomorrow night in ugly makeup or will she go as she was? Night came. Violet thought about it and went back to Lyonhall Vi with her ugly makeup on. After all, she was still the ugly daughter-inw at the Johnson Family. She had to ask Louis for his opinion. See if he wanted her to meet the Johnsons in her original form or not. Of course, she prefered to keep wearing ugly makeup until the divorce. The vi was still elegant and quiet. After Violet entered and greeted Lucy, she saw Louis sitting in a corner of the living room couch at work. The upright posture in the light was the usual reserved and cold. He seemed to enjoy working in the living room? Violet twitched her lips, "Mr. Johnson, I''m back." Louis didn''t look up, but burst out a few words, "Go get food." Violet: "......" Why did she think Louis was sitting in the living room at work every night just waiting for her toe back and get him food? "Okay." Violet curled her lips and walked quickly into the kitchen. Louis on the sofa raised his eyes and watched the woman''s back. It was still the same dirt-cheap outfit. But the back was endlessly beautiful. Louis withdrew his eyes, no emotion visible on his face. "Mr. Johnson, it''s time toe and eat." The aroma of food hit him. Louis'' throat rolled slightly as he got up and went to the dining room. Instead of noodles in soup, a few home-cooked stir-fries were ced on the table. Louis nced at her and gracefully took his seat. "Mr. Johnson, I''m afraid you''re tired of eating noodles every day, so I''ve changed a few stir-fries for you to try." Violet exined and sat down across from him. Louis didn''t say a word and ate gracefully. The man''s eating face was unmistakable. Violet looked at him steadily, and her own daughter''s little face shed in her mind. Could her real father, really be Louis? The line of sight fell on his hair ...... "Do I look good when I eat?" Louis spoke slowly. Violet returned to her senses, dryly smiled, and straightened her hair around her ears, changing the subject. "That, Mr. Johnson, thank you! Sasha is unbelievable. How can she me me for Cooper going to jail? She''s got a bit too much imagination." It was clearly Louis who removed the ck sheep from thepany, so why did everyone me that to her? Louis raised his eyes and nced at her, the corners of his mouth curled up in mockery, "In your eyes, am I a wimp? Someone who would let Cooper bully my people and ignore them?" His people!? So, what he was saying was that Cooper was sent to prison because of her? Violet''s heart inexplicably crossed ripples. She tried, "So, what you''re saying is that Cooper will be sent to prison by you really because of me?" At that moment, Louis put down his chopsticks and took a paper towel to wipe the corner of his mouth. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. "Violet, you are so full of yourself. Cooper will be sent to jail by me because he broke thew. As for the fact that he bullied you, even if the cats and dogs in my house are bullied, I would still get it back for them." Violet: "......" So, in his eyes, she was no different from those cats and dogs. Shouldn''t have made him good food! Violet rolled her eyes hard in her heart and saw Louis finish eating and get ready to get up with a sh of her eyes. "Wait a minute." Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Louis stopped and looked at Violet with a raised eyebrow. Violet coughed lightly, "That, Rosalie told me that there is a dinner party tomorrow night. It''s your session ceremony. This asion should be important to you, so sit down and I''ll refine your makeup." She wanted to take a few of his hairs and do a gic test with her own daughter. Louis didn''t say anything and watched Violet get up ande over. Then she took out eyebrow clips, eyebrow cutters and other tools from her makeup bag. She actually thought of refining his makeup? "My face still needs makeup?" He was confident. After all, since childhood, his ears have been filled with words of praise. As an adult, those women saw him more like seeing a gold. "Mr. Johnson, your features are handsome and perfectly proportioned. I''ll just fix the small details for you. For example, the shape of your eyebrows." Men were so self-absorbed. However, he did have the capital to be narcissistic. A handsome face was born almost perfectly. Better looking than most of the male celebrities she had seen in the entertainment industry. It did not require much care at all. Violet leaned over and trimmed his eyebrows. The woman''s fragrance came to the nose and the fullness of the woman''s breasts as far as the eye can see. A small, cool hand brushed over his brow and cheek, skimming over the tip of his heart like a feather. Louis'' eyes deepened slightly, some images shed through his mind, and his breathing sank a bit. "How much longer?" "Don''t worry, it''s almost there." Violet finished shaping his eyebrows and poked her body upwards. "Huh, Mr. Johnson, you actually have white hair." Whew! Well, it went well and pulled two hairs. Violet was so nervous that her palms were sweaty and her heart dropped. Just as she was about to call it a day, there was a tightness around her waist. The next thing you know, she was sitting on the man''sp. Violet''s heart swung and her eyes drifted over her hands, and she felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She didn''t know if it was a guilty conscience or dryness-heat. "Mr. Johnson, it''s ready." Why was he holding her back? Did he find something? Louis'' dark eyes were deep as he looked at Violet''s ugly makeup and reached out to touch it. He was probably bewitched. He can''t believe that this ugly face was also quite pleasant to the eyes. Violet stared nkly at Louis, her face burned where had been touched. What was he doing? To this ugly face of hers, he actually did not show a disgusted expression? "Mr. Johnson, I would like to ask, when I go to the dinner tomorrow, do I need to go in my original appearance?" The original appearance? Louis''s hand movements paused, and the corners of his mouth hooked up smiling, "Yes! If you''re not afraid of my stepmother suing you for marriage fraud, I don''t care." This woman was found for him by his stepmother. If she was not afraid of getting into trouble, he was happy to watch the show. "Mr. Johnson, then I''d better go with this ugly face. I''m afraid that if I suddenly change my face, my grandmother will be stimted." Violet smiled sarcastically and made an excuse. She just talked too much! Louis didn''t mind. Of course she was happy to make a fool of herself! "Heh, Violet, you''re so good at making excuses." Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "I''m telling the truth." "......" The woman''s face was still as ugly as ever, but the gaze behind the lenses was sly. The two were very close at this point. Louis was inexplicably a little thirsty. He sped her slender waist and his gaze fell on her red lips ...... "Ouch." From the living room came the cry of Lucy almost tripping. Louis tilted his head a little, his eyes shed a hint of displeasure at being disturbed. Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Violet sensed Louis'' intentions and got up from him hastily with a red face. "That, Mr. Johnson, I''m tired and will go upstairs first." She was now a very ugly girl. Louis can also be attractive by her? Was it too horny! "Young master, I didn''t mean to disturb you. I just came out for a drink." Lucy was happy and apologetic. The young couple was finally making progress. She had to tell the old Mrs. Johnson about it! ...... The next day, Violet gave Louis'' hair to Josie and asked her to go the hospital when she had time to do a gic test for her. Josie readilyplied. Once the arrangements for the store were made, Violet put on some ugly makeup and went back to Balridge Manor. The old Mrs. Johnson was the happiest person to see her. The old Mrs. Johnson cared about her so much, and implied her as well. Violet knew Lucy must have told the old Mrs. Johnson what happenedst night, so she could only Suddenly she felt that the divorce was a bit of a long shot! "Mom, Violet and I have to go to the hotel and make arrangements first." Rosalie came up and said. The old Mrs. Johnson looked at her and nodded. "Rosalie, you picked Violet to be your wife, and Mom thinks you have a good eye. At the banquetter, you can show her more, and let her learn how to be the head of the Johnson Family." Letting an ugly girl learn to be the matriarch of the Johnson Family? The old Mrs. Johnson wasn''t too shabby either. Rosalie''s heart snorted lightly, but her face did not show. "Okay, Violet,e with me." Violet hmmed and followed. When they arrived at the hotel, Rosalie asked Violet to do this and that. Violet was silent, just obedient and did the work that her subordinates did. She knew in her heart that Rosalie could not see herself as the future head of the family. And she, of course, didn''t care. A round of work was done and her body was sweating. Just as she was about to go take a sip of water, Rosalie''s voice came back on. "Violet, look at the decorative painting hanging on the wall, why do I think it''s a little crooked?" Violet pushed up her sses and looked at the mural, "I think it''s okay." "You''re young. Howe your eyesight is worse than mine? Hurry up and get the painting straightened out." Rosalie reprimanded. Violet gulped, somewhat speechlessly moved over a chair and climbed up. "Rosalie, is this okay?" "A little to the left." "How about this?" "Pass, a little to the right." "......" With several adjustments, Violet only felt her hands and legs sore, about to hold out. "Jeez, Violet, why are you so stupid? You can''t even hang a mural? You''re really worse than a maid." Jasmine arrived at some point and stood next to Rosalie, with a mocking look on her face. "Don''t say that. Your grandmother wants me to bring her up more so she can be apetent head of the family." Rosalie said grimly. "How can she be the head of the family? That''s right, an ugly woman with a bastard son, a perfect match!" Jasmine burst out in exaggeratedughter. A number of the Johnson Family''s maids and hotel staff were gathered along the side. Hearing Jasmine''s words, allughed. Violet''s face went cold. "Jasmine, please keep your mouth shut! Don''t be the drop of poison that infects the whole tun of wine and ruin the Johnson Family''s good reputation." "You! Violet, you ugly bastard!" Jasmine was disliked and kicked in anger at the chair Violet was standing on. The chair swayed and instantly fell to the side. A long row of pastries wasid out next to it. Violet was startled and her body involuntarily tilted over. "Watch out."Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Louis reached out and caught Violet in his arms. Concern shed in his dark eyes, "Is everything okay?" "I''m fine." Violet''s heart fluttered, but she shook her head anyway. Louis straightened her up, and his eyes swept over the croed, instantly stern. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. "The Johnson Family paid to have you here, but are you here to be a decoration? Do I need to support you?" The surrounding servants had shrunken their shoulders and were silent. Rosalie nced at him, "Louis, they''re not idle either, they''re all busy with something ......" "Aunt Rosalie, if you''re short of servants, I''ll invite a few more over tomorrow for you to pick. If you don''t know how to distribute tasks reasonably, then you can give up your role as the hostess." Louis interrupted Rosalie''s words coldly and unceremoniously. Rosalie choked, her face instantly ugly. In front of everyone, this stepson was not giving her any mercy! Louis ignored her scowl and his eyes went back to Jasmine. "Apologize to your sister-inw!" Ask her to apologize to Violet! Jasmine was not happy. "It''s not like she did anything ......" "Either apologize, or, you stand up and let her kick you!" Louis said in a cold voice: "If you think you are too idle, I can leave the overseas affairs to you to take care of." This was to expel her from the country! Jasmine blushed, but dared not speak out in anger. She twisted her face, looked at Violet, and only half-heartedly said "I''m sorry." Violet did not speak and stayed in Louis''s arms. Feeling his warm body heat, listening to him who helped her, her heart crossed a slight warmth. "Let''s go." Louis took Violet by the arm and walked to the side. The cold look eased slightly. "Our Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have a great rtionship." "Mr. Johnson is not only handsome, but he is also kind and considerate to Mrs. Johnson. "......" There werepliments from people in her ears. Violet was embraced by Louis and walked to the corner with a slight twinkle in her eye. Louis did this to maintain his unassable position in the Johnson Family, but the scene just now still made her feel warm. "Mom, look at them both!" Jasmine was so mad, whispering usations. "What''s the rush?" Rosalie''s eyes went cold and she patted her daughter''s hand. Just waied and saw, Louis! In the corner, Louis took off his coat and threw it to Violet. "Don''t you usually dislike me quite well? Howe you just let them bully you?" Mrs. Johnson was doing the work of a servant. Just go along with it? Violet took the clothes and pushed her ck-rimmed sses, "The person who ordered me to do something is Rosalie, and if I get into a fight with her, it''s a matter of the Johnson Family''s face." She was not him and can''t just ignore it. She was the daughter-inw of a wealthy family, and can only be obedient. "You are quite capable of taking temporary setbacks." Louis taunted, "Hold my clothes for me and just sit here." Taking his clothes meant she was his person. Let''s see which one of the ungrateful people wille to her again. Louis finished and turned to leave. The man''s posture was upright and his back was elegant and grand. The corners of Violet''s mouth curved as she clutched the suit in her hands. Chapter 44 Chapter 44 The party was about to start and guests wereing in one after another. Men in suits, women with skirts. Tonight''s banquet was a buffet-style dinner. The guests were holding wine sses and mingling with each other, a lively scene. Violet didn''t have the heart to keep sitting like a fool, ready to go ahead and put the suit away. Passing around the corner, someone blocked her way. She looked up and saw a pretty-looking woman looking at her with her chin held high. This person was ...... "Violet, look at the asion, do you think your ugly look matches here?" Nina Evison asked. Violet thought for a while, then remembered that this person was Austin''s sister Nina. A worldly girl who adored Louis. "Violet, Louis'' birth was already bad, and your existence is an even greater disgrace to him. Ugly with illegitimate child, do you have to keep letting people talk down to him like this?" Nina paused and spoke coldly and proudly: "Tell me, how much money do you want to leave him? If you ask, I will satisfy you." Trying to get rid of her with money? This Nina, although it seemed that she did like Louis, and was not arrogant, but also too much to take for granted. She would have liked to take a penny and go. But Nina was not eligible to pay for this! "Miss Evison, gossip cannot be taken seriously. I may be ugly, but why don''t you say I''m a blessing? I married into the Johnson Family and Louis got better, didn''t I?" "You ......" Nina choked and stared at her for a moment, speechless. A few of young girls who followed them over mocked lightly. "Yo, you''re really good at blowing your own trumpet." "That''s right, ugly people always make a lot of mistakes. Mr. Johnson is our Nina''s man, if you know Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. what you''re doing, give up your seat." "No, you don''t know what you''re getting into when you''re fighting for a man with the Evison family." "......" Several people deliberately provoked. Violet pushed her sses and gave Nina a look, "Miss Evison, I advise you to be careful in making friends. Don''t make friends with people who like to stir up trouble." Nina was Austin''s sister. Austin helped her and she was not averse to the Evison family. After saying that, Violet crossed several people ready to leave. Nina frowned and did not speak for a moment. A fewdies on the side were furious. "Is she saying we''re stirring up trouble?" "An ugly girl who really thinks she''s Mrs. Johnson?" "Violet, stop right there!" Someone pushed Violet from behind, and another woman deliberately blocked towards her. The ss in her hand spilled over in the process. Violet subconsciously blocked, and the suit held in her hand was instantly stained with wine. "Yikes, sorry, your face is so ugly. I was shocked." The woman had a gloating look on her face. Violet looked at the suit in her hand and her expression went cold. There was a waiter passing by, and she took the ss of wine directly from the tray and sshed it on the woman with a tter. "Ah!" With a startled cry, the woman called out, "Violet, what are you mad about?" Violet was indifferent, "I see that your eyes are not very good. Just to wash your eyes." "Violet, today is a party hosted by the Johnson Group. We are all guests of the Johnson Family banquet, how dare you treat us like this?" The otherdy who held up the woman who was sshed and angrily scolded. Violet hooked her lips, "I am Mrs. Johnson and have the right to choose my guests. Since you do not have the courtesy to be a guest, why should I treat you with courtesy. If you don''t want to stay, the door is just over there, so go away!" The woman''s face was still so ugly, but the ent of speech, but with a majesty that can not be ignored, so that people do not dare to underestimate. Several women behind her watched Violet leave with an indignant look on her face. "I thought she was wimpy? Even seeing Mr. Johnson sleeping with her bosom friend is fine." "This woman is so disgusting. Nina, she is deliberately giving you a lesson." "......" Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Nina looked at Violet''s back, thinking. She nced at a few women and proudly shook off their hands, "Don''t follow me. I''m not familiar with you." Not far away, Austin watched the whole scene and came up to Louis'' side. "Louis, so your ugly wife is so fierce? Look like she is person in charge. It''s that face ......" Austin paused, ignoring Louis''s cold, swift knife eyes, "It would be perfect if you reced her face with that of your lover." Rece Violet''s face with Helena''s? Shouldn''t he find a chance to ask Violet to remove her makeup in public? Louis raised his sword eyebrows and curved the corners of his mouth. Violet entered the lounge, looked at the soiled suit in her hands and let out a soft breath. She didn''t keep his suit well, and she didn''t know if he will be angry. "Violet, are you tired?" The old Mrs. Johnson was helped by the maid and went into the lounge. Violet hurriedly hung up her suit and smiled, "Grandma, I''m not tired." "Well, good. I''ve put you through the wringer today." The old Mrs. Johnson patted her hand and spoke soothingly. It looked like someone reported the thing to the old Mrs. Johnson. Violet smiled, said nothing more, and helped the old Mrs. Johnson out of the lounge. The party had already started. After a set of rousing opening remarks from the host, it was time for Leon, the head of the Johnson Family, to deliver his speech. After Leon''s speech, it led to Louis. "Next, I''d like to officially hand over the family business of the Johnson Family to my son Louis. I hope that everyone here will still support my son Louis as you did before." The thick male voice was loud and clear as Louis took center stage to the apuse of the crowd. Leon patted him on the shoulder with a look of relief. "Louis, the future of the Johnson Group is up to you." "Thanks Dad for your trust, I''ll work on it." Louis took the microphone, and his maic voice floated in mid-air with calmness. He looked over the crowd, looking down on them like a king, and spoke sinctly about the next direction for the Johnson Group. Violet held the old Mrs. Johnson standing to one side, watching the man in the light talk eloquently, the corners of her mouth curved. Needless to say, Louis was a specially privileged person. Apart from a slight w in his identity, everything was perfect. Not only was the person handsome, but he also had a high IQ and high academic qualifications. He received a double diploma in finance andw when he was very young. If it wasn''t for the car ident a year ago, how good should the woman standing next to him be for such a man? "Well, that''s all I have to say. Next, please enjoy your dinner." Louis finished, gave a slight nod and prepared to leave the stage. "Mr. Johnson, I heard that you sent Cooper, the general manager of the Johnson Group, to jail in a righteous manner as soon as you took office after returning to the country because he was unworthy of being the general manager of the Johnson Group due to his tainted virtues, right?" A reporter standing in the first row suddenly spoke up. Louis''s footsteps were halted and he turned to look at him. "Yes, that''s right." For today''s dinner, they had invited several mainstream media to visit. But there was no interview session at this time. Then this person ...... Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "By this move, is Mr. Johnson expressing to the public that people with tainted virtues do not deserve to be in management?" The reporter continued to ask questions. Louis'' eyes moved slightly and he faintly responded, "Yes." "But it is rumored that you, Mr. Johnson, because of your dislike of Mrs. Johnson''s ugliness, set your eyes on her best friend and took possession of her. Once this statement was made, the originally silent asion was suddenly in an uproar. All the people started whispering. Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Louis'' dark eyes narrowed as he gave the reporter a deep look. So the reporter was waiting for him here! It looked like this reporter was arranged by his stepmother! "Why didn''t Mr. Johnson say anything? Is he acquiescing to the rumors? You are the future leader of the Johnson Group. Isn''t it inappropriate to behave like this? Is it not a bad influence?" The reporter started to be aggressive. "Yes, I also heard about this. Mr. Johnson, you can do whatever you like, but themon people are not allowed the slightest bit of freedom?" "Mr. Johnson, the Johnson Group are a time-honoredpany, and we will never want a notorious person to lead us." "Yes, we can''t let a goodpany be ruined by a person whose virtue can''tpare with the position." "......" A number of people in the crowd were directors of thepany and responded by speaking out. Jasmine, on one side, smiled smugly and whispered in Rosalie''s ear. "Mom, these vocal people are the ones who are on our side, right? I''ll see how Louis should end up." Rosalie looked at Louis, who was silent on the stage, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a cold arc. It was all arranged by her. She had arranged several board members in advance, just hoping they would speak up at this point. Wasn''t Louis great? That he sent her nephew in jail! She would like to see how he should end up in this asion now! "Mr. Johnson, don''t you want to exin?" "Yes, Mr. Johnson, your ability is obvious to everyone, we don''t believe you are such a person, please exin quickly." Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. "......" Several directors who were close to Louis were anxious for him and shouted. Exnation? How should he exin this? He did sleep with a woman! But this woman ...... Louis sword brow slightly wrinkled, and his eyes subconsciously searched for Violet''s figure. Where did Violet go? Did she know that he was about to be killed by her? Just then, the woman''s clear and pleasant voice rang out. "Guys, I''ll exin this for Mr. Johnson." With a bag in her hand, Violet walked quickly to the side of Louis. Louis gave her a probing look and didn''t make a sound for a moment. The reporters in front of the stage asked: "You are Mrs. Johnson, right? Did Mr. Johnson hook up with your bosom friend behind your back? Did you choose to hold back for the sake of the Johnson Family?" Hearing this, there was a murmur from the surrounding people. "My God, this Mrs. Johnson is ugly." "No, if I were Mr. Johnson, I will definitely find a woman to relieve my needs." "Surely such an ugly bastard who sit on Mrs. Johnson''s throne must to tolerate all." "......" There was another uproar at the bottom of the stage. Louis leaned close to Violet''s ear and whispered, "Did youe on stage just to have everyone look at you like a monkey?" He probably guessed a little. Would it be what he thought? "Of course not!" Violet smiled brightly towards him and then looked down at the stage. "Everyone settle down, please listen to me. The rumors out there that my husband Louis slept with my bosom friend Helena are indeed true!" Violet paused and continued, to the outcry of the crowd, "But, what I want to say is that it was actually just a beautiful misunderstanding. I''m Violet and I''m Helena!" Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Violet finished her words, opened her bag, took out a bottle of makeup remover, and began to remove her own makeup. The woman''s fingers were long and fair as she took her sses off and applied remover to her face. Louis looked at her calmly and a smile was shing in his eyes. She really did remove her makeup in public, just as he thought. Wasn''t she afraid that his stepmother will get her in trouble? Downstage, the crowd was already stunned by Violet''sments. There were wide-eyed stares at her. Standing to one side, Jasmine and Rosalie stared at Violet, eyes full of shock. "Mom, what did the ugly one just say? She''s Helena? How can that be?" A beauty like a fairy, a strange ugly. How can these two be the same person? Jasmine''s face was full of incredulity. Rosalie''s face was hard to see. Yeah, how was that possible? If that was true, then that meant Violet had been lying to them all year? Only the old Mrs. Johnson, with a relieved face. She had been through a lot and was still very urate in reading people. When she first met Violet, she felt that this girl had a secret. The skin ton of her hands and face can''t be greatly different. So she stayed calm and collected and waited for her to reveal the secret herself. Now, the young gilr was finally willing to show her true face. Did it mean that her heart had turned toward her grandson? On stage, Violet finally revealed her true face. The powdered face was fair and clear, shining with a porcin glow in the light. The crowd let out a gasp of surprise as they watched the ugly girl instantly turn into a great beauty. "Isn''t that Helena, the makeup artist?" "My goodness, Violet is really Helena?" "This Helena''s makeup is too amazing!" "It''s incredible!" "......" The chatter was incessant. The reporter looked at the smiling Violet and asked, "Miss Helena, if you are so beautiful, why did you marry into the Johnson Family in ugly makeup?" Yes! Why did she dress up as an ugly girl and marry into the Johnson Family? The crowd had this question in mind. Violet smoothed out her hair around her ears and looked to Louis at her side. "Because I want Mr. Johnson to like me with a beautiful heart." The woman''s voice was clear and pleasant, and her clear eyes shed with a hint of cunning. The yful words implied a woman''s unique vor. Louis'' eyes and heart moved slightly, and his heart felt like it had been tantalized by a cat''s ws. After a long time, he faced the public and said in a light voice: "All right, dinner continues. Everyone enjoy yourself." When he finished, he bent his arms slightly and gave Violet a look. Violet understood, reached out and took his arm, and the two came off the stage. "Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson are really so much fun." Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. "Isn''t it? I bet Mr. Johnson really likes Mrs. Johnson." "Mrs. Johnson is so beautiful and handy, and so good at flirting. If she wasn''t married, I will court her." "......" The crowd was filled with sounds of amazement and praise. Rosalie''s face shifted for a moment. She wanted to embarrass Louis, but she didn''t want to be easily defeated by Violet! Instead, the two became a good couple in people''s eyes! "Violet, the bitch, is ying this game! Mom, what to do now?" Jasmine had an angry look on her face. Chapter 48 Chapter 48 What to do? Violet, dare to lie to her! She was cheating on her marriage! Rosalie grimaced and walked quickly to the lounge. Jasmine rushed to follow. In the lounge, the old Mrs. Johnson was looking at Violet up and down. Leon and Louis stood at the side, looking at her. Violet''s scalp tingled from several pairs of eyes, and she lowered her eyes in embarrassment. "I''m sorry, Grandma, that I lied to you." She was going to keep ying ugly until the divorce. But watching Louis being questioned because of her, she couldn''t be indifferent. Only to show people her real face. "Violet, you''re really out of this world in your craft. If you don''t say it, who can associate with it?" The old Mrs. Johnson patted Violet''s hand with a smile and a loving face. Violet smiled lightly and did not speak. At that moment, Rosalie''s voice came from the door. "Mom, you''re still praising her? Her kind of behavior is marriage fraud!" Marriage fraud! She knew she was going to be used of cheating on her marriage when she took off her ugly makeup! Violet pursed her lips and looked at Rosalie who came in angrily. "I''m sorry. I didn''t mean to lie to you." "Sorry and that is over? Violet, what was your intention in marrying into the Johnson Family and dressed as the ugly woman you were before?" Jasmine, who followed her in, chirped. Violet nced at Louis, who was standing aside, and her eyes shed slightly. "I dressed up like this because I heard rumors at the time that Rosalie was looking for a woman of low status. And the uglier, the better to be her daughter-inw. So I came up with this idea for the bride price." The real intention was impossible for her to say, so she might as well balme it on Rosalie. "You''re talking nonsense!" Rosalie almost exploded with anger, pointing at Violet and screaming, "Violet, you dare cheat on your marriage, I''ll sue you!" She was going to be sued for fraudulent marriage! Violet''s fingers curled up! "Aunt Rosalie, Violet is my wife, and it''s up to me whether I want to sue her or not." Louis'' voice rang out with a hint of calmness. Violet gave him a look of slight relief. He just didn''t sue her. Rosalie choked and looked over at her husband. "Leon, are you going to let this woman y us all for fools? She must be hiding some dark secret by hiding her true face and marrying into the Johnson Family. She may be sent by ourpetitors. Such a woman, even if we don''t sue her, we can''t keep her in the Johnson Family anymore!" Hearing this, Leon''s eyebrows wrinkled slightly and his eyes looked sharply at Violet. "Violet, tell us what your true intentions of marrying into the Johnson Family by dressing like this?" What was the real intention? Violet''s fingers squeezed tight. After a moment of silence, she said, "I told you, I married into the Johnson Family for the bride price. If you don''t believe me, I can divorce Mr. Johnson." Let''s just achieve the purpose of divorce with Louis. Until then, she must keep her secret. She said divorce! Louis nced at Violet and his originally subdued face sank. This woman, it seemed that she was thinking of divorce all the time! Why! "That''s what you said! Violet, we can stop suing you, but you have to lose everything, and you won''t get a penny of the Johnson Family''s property." Rosalie didn''t expect Violet to mention the divorce herself, and the corners of her mouth curved up in a cold arc. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Okay, that''s fine with me." Violet nodded with a straight face. Louis'' face sank even deeper and he was about to speak when the old Mrs. Johnson spoke up. "Come on, what''s the point of getting a divorce when Louis has just taken over?" "Violet, listen to your grandmother, work harder with Louis, give the Johnson Family a few babies, and I''ll forgive your past misdeeds." Chapter 49 Chapter 49 "Mom!" Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Rosalie couldn''t help but scream out when she heard the old Mrs. Johnson''s words. The old Mrs. Johnson nced at her and said, not gently, "Am I too old to decide something in the Johnson Family?" Rosalie choked and swallowed the words that came to her mouth. "Since Mom gave the words, let''s listen to Mom''s arrangement." Leon, a dutiful son, spoke up. Rosalie''s chest rose and fell, and she looked at him with eyes full of resentment, but said nothing more. She was not the hostess of the family. At the Johnson Family, she was simply a nobody! She used to be overwhelmed by the olddy. From now on, she will be bullied by two juniors again! The matter was settled, and Violet sent the old Mrs. Johnson home with a sigh of relief. She didn''t want to have children. She wanted a divorce! A sharp gaze was cast from the side. Violet subconsciously looked over and touched Louis'' deep eyes. With a strong sense of displeasure, as well as cold arrogance. He was angry? Violet pursed her lips and exhaled a foul breath. If Louis had known she had a child before, would he defend her as he did just now, when people were trying to sue her for fraudulent marriage? And her own daughter, will she be rted to him by blood or not? "Mom, is that the end of it?" When the people in the lounge left, Jasmine pulled Rosalie with a look of resignation. Rosalie calmed down and smiled coldly, "This Violet is not simple. We have to check her out and find out why she wants to marry into the Johnson Family as an ugly woman!" She had a hunch that Violet must be hiding some secret! ...... Violet returned to Lyonhall Vi. Ignoring Lucy''s surprised expression, she smiled sarcastically and went upstairs, first to the bathroom to wash up. Things were going a bit unexpectedly and she had to slow down a bit. Not long after, Louis returned as well. Lucy took the briefcase in his hand and wanted to say something. "Young master, that beautiful looking woman is really the previous Mrs. Johnson?" Louis changed into his slippers and patted Lucy''s shoulder. "Lucy, calm down." Can not calm down! These were twopletely different people. However, this Mrs. Johnson and the young master stood together, but it was much better than the previous match! Louis went upstairs. Passing by the guest room, he heard voicesing from inside. His footsteps stopped. "Erin, be a good girl and go to bed early! I promise you''ll see Mommy as soon as you wake up tomorrow." Mommy? She was on the phone with that little girl! Louis'' dark eyes narrowed as he unscrewed the door to the guest room. Inside the house, Violet was coaxing her daughter. The little one was pouting with an unhappy face because she was not going back to live again. "Mommy, how long do you have to earn money? Are you not going to stay with Erin all the time? Do you have other babies so you don''t want Erin anymore?" Violet: "......" This kid, she thought a lot. "My Erin, how could Mommy not want you? Mommy ......" "Hey, Daddy!" Not waiting for Violet to finish, the little one''s eyes suddenly lit up and called out towards the camera. Violet''s heart jumped and she jerked back to see Louis standing behind her, looking toward the camera. The first time, she had a guilty conscience. "Mr. Johnson, why did youe in without knocking." Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Violet got up in a hurry and subconsciously put her phone behind her. "Mommy, I want to talk to Daddy." Erin''s milky voice floated in the air. Violet just felt extremely wordless. Daddy, Mommy, Erin, did you have to call it so frequently? "What are you hiding? Didn''t you hear your daughter talking to you?" Louis leaned over slightly and took the phone from her hand, not forgetting to add the word "daughter". The man''s cold, ghostly breath was approaching. Violet held her breath, swallowed her saliva and smiled dryly. "That, I''m Erin''s godmother. She''s used to calling me mommy. Don''t take it seriously." At that moment, Louis nced at her lightly and did not rush to talk to her, but looked at the little person in the camera. "Erin, good evening." The little one grinned, "Good evening, Daddy! So Angel Mommy went to your house to make money? Can I ask Mommy to bring Erin next time?" Violet: "......" Kid, can you cut the crap? She was really afraid that this man would try to get Erin talk something that shouldn''t be known by him. "Yes, you can, if you want toe. Next time let your mommy bring you here." Louis raised an eyebrow, and his mouth curled in a smile. "Hee hee, great!" Erin pped her little bulging hands and blinked her big eyes, "Daddy, do you like my mommy? My mommy is a beautiful fairy, so will daddy and mommy raise Erin together in the future?" Violet: "......" Child, your imagination was so rich! Violet couldn''t listen to it anymore, and sharply took the phone from Louis'' hand. "Okay Erin, Mommy has work to do. Go to bed or I''ll call Josie Mommy to spank you." "Okay then, Mommy, Daddy, good night." The little one obeyed and hung up the video call. Violet let out a long breath and put away her phone. The man''s low voice rang in her ears. "Violet, the more I look at it, the more I think that Erin looks like you. Do you think that you pretended to be ugly to marry into the Johnson Family and now you''re rushing to get a divorce just to hide this truth? Hmm?" Louis narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to Violet, his tone full of danger. Violet''s nerves were instantly tense, "Mr. Johnson, you''re out of your mind! I told you, I married into the Johnson Family only for the bride price." "Yeah?" Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Louis walked towards until he had Violet cornered. At this time, the woman had just taken a shower, ck hair hanging casually on the shoulders. In the light, she had bright eyes and white teeth, and her skin was fair. Closer, he can smell the faint fragrance emanating from her body. This ethereal fragrance ...... Louis'' dark eyes sank as something shed through his mind. He twitched his lips, "Violet, four years ago ......" TICL. There was a message ringing on the phone. Louis paused and slowly stood up straight. He pulled out his phone and there was a message from Harry. Clicking on it, "Mr. Johnson, the woman you asked me to find four years ago, has been found." Found it! Louis'' pupils shrunk. He nced at Violet, who was looking ufortable with her hair, and inexplicable emotions crossed his heart. Tapping on the next message, he quickly skimmed through it. "Grace Harper, 24, Crotosi City native, both parents dead ......" It was a message about the woman he was looking for. So, the woman he had a night with four years ago was not Violet. It was this woman named Grace Harper! Louis'' thin lips were pursed, and disappointment seemed to sh through his dark eyes. He looked steadily at the message above. Grace had a son by her side, and this child, his son! Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Louis left from the guest room, and Violet hurriedly closed the door behind her, letting out a long breath. The man was too perceptive. With him, her every nerve needed to be tightened so as not to reveal. But what did he want to ask her at the end? What happened four years ago? Violet looked puzzled. At that moment, a message from Josie came on the phone. "Violet, is everything okay?" "It''s okay. Did that gic test go on?" "I had my period today and my stomach hurts. So I''ll go tomorrow." "Okay." Violet put away her phone and curled her lips. The heart inexplicably fluctuated a little. She didn''t know if she was looking forward to it more or was mentally disturbed. If Erin was really Louis'' daughter, was she, indeed, not divorced? ...... The following day. Film and television base. "She''s Helena, right? The same Violet who is the ugly daughter-inw of the Johnson Family before?" "Isn''t it? She''s all over the news this morning!" "Her make-up skills are amazing! If she hadn''t exposed herself, I guess no one would have known this secret in their lifetime!" "......" People were talking. Violet prepared the makeup job, somewhat helplessly. Yesterday''s dinner party for the Johnson Family naturally made it to the top of the news this morning. And she became a part of the hot spot news. Fame portended trouble for men just as fattening did for pigs, and she didn''t want to be famous like that at all. Because she was not yet divorced, she was afraid that one day, another of her secrets will be exposed. The good thing was that she was d that more people wereing to the store to have their hair styled because of her makeup skills. Her appointment calls kepting in. "Helena, it''s an honor to have you do my makeup, and please be merciful." Julia West sat down in the makeup chair and smiled. Violet set up her makeup tools one by one and nced back at her. "Julia, is my make-up that terrible?" Julia took over the role of Sasha as the fourth female character. She had a few conversations with her and felt much better than Sasha. "How is it not scary? It''s not like I haven''t seen Sasha''s final photos before. And your ugly makeup!" Julia leaned in and said, "Mrs. Johnson, please, please, please don''t make me look like I just came from the dead." "Okay, I''ll thin the foundation a little." She was still used to being called Helena. Violet smiled lightly and began to do Julia''s makeup. One by one, people entered the dressing room. A staff member was calling out, "Get out of the way and leave that seat over there for David." Violet finished Julia''s primer and subconsciously nced toward the door. At this moment, several staff members surrounded a man into the dressing room. The man was tall, with delicate and deep features, walking with a model style, causing many people present to gasp. "Wow, it''s the leading actor David Bergening in!" Julia''s eyes sparkled with light, a little starstruck look. Violet blinked her almond eyes and naturally recognized who the visitor was. David Bergen, the hottest international movie star in the entertainment industry. His father was a veteran entertainer, and David used his father''s connections to act in many movies during his school years. After graduation, his official debut was the pinnacle. Not long ago, he set up his own studio, and now he had been hired to join this drama and y the male lead. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. It seemed that he and Louis had a personal rtionship. He will join this drama, also because Louis was the investor. Violet withdrew her eyes and continued to do Julia''s makeup. Chapter 52 Chapter 52 "David, please sit down." The staff was very attentive, serving tea and water. David looked around, and his eyes fell on Violet for two seconds, then moved away. "David, I''m going to put your makeup on." The makeup artist opened the makeup box and prepared to do his makeup. David did not speak, sitting in his chair like a boss and on his phone. At the sight of a news item on his phone, his handsome sword eyebrows raised slightly and his eyes fell on Violet again. This woman ...... At that moment, there was anothermotion at the door. Immediately afterwards, a woman''s voice rang out. "David, you''re here already? So early!" Hearing the voice before seeing the person. Violet''s make-up was done for a while, then she put it back on as if nothing had happened. She didn''t even have to look up to know who the visitor was. Jessie Shaw, a popr female artist. She was also a whore who slept with Josie''s husband four years ago. She yed the heroine in this drama. "Jessie." David nced at Jessie and nodded lightly with her. Jessie walked up to him and smiled at Jasmine, "David, don''t you want a hug? I never thought I''d have the pleasure of acting with you. So happy." "It''s better not to hug. I''m afraid that it will impact your life. After all, you are a married person." David said politely. He didn''t have much of a personal rtionship with her. But it was just having a same mentor. The smile on Jessie''s face stiffened slightly, but she quickly returned to her normal self. "That''s true! David has thought of everything! Let''s put on our makeup first then, and we''ll talk about it Having said that, Jessie sat down on another make-up chair. Her make-up artist started to apply her make-up. "Tch, a married women still wants to tease my idol. She is afraid that others do not know her thought. Fortunately, my idol is decent and not the kind of man who can just hook up." Julia muttered in a small voice. Violet had already put on her makeup and her almond eyes sparkled when she heard this. Was Julia joking? Jessie had feelings for David? But the way she talked with David was quite tantalizing It was indeed obvious. "What''s wrong with you? Can''t even fix eyebrows? That''s the third time you''ve hurt me." David''s voice tinged with anger,ing from the side. Violet looked towards him and saw that he pushed the make-up artist away and was rubbing his brow with anger on his face. "Sorry David, it''s my first time that I am so close to you and I got excited for a while ......" "Excited? What are you excited about? Is this face of mine very different from others? Do you have any professional ethics?" David said angrily, "I don''t know why Kian would rmend you to me! Look at you. What kind of make-up you gave me? It''s so rustic. Does it match the leading male character in this script? Get out of here!" "David!" His makeup artist Lucie Rees was on the verge of tears. Kian was David''s real make-up artist, and she was rmended toe over because Kian was off work for two days. She''d got great makeup skills, but she was really just so excited today! "David, if you don''t like her make-up skills, why don''t you let my make-up artist apply your make-up?" T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Jessie saw the situation and spoke in a delicate voice. David nced at her with a look of anger still lingering on his face. His eyes swept around and settled on Violet''s body. He then strided up to her, "You are Violet? Louis'' ugly wife?" Violet: "......" Recognized? It seemed Louis'' ugly wife, a title that will stay with her for a long time. Violet looked over at him and smiled slightly, "Hello." "Come on. You put on the makeup for me." Chapter 53 Chapter 53 David asked her by name to put him on makeup! Violet thought for a moment and walked over as she was asked to do so. "David, if you''re happy with it, you''ll have to pay me." Anyway, Violet had time and just took it as another order. She bent slightly and her soft fingers had begun to move over his face. David, spoke from her mouth, sounded inexplicablyforting. David''s eyes shed with interest, "You are very short of money. Does Louis treat you badly?" "That''s not the same! I earn my own money and spend itfortably." Violet replied. Her face was serious and began to work. The man''s features were quite exquisite, especially the eyes. The end of the eyes slightly was upward, and there was a hint of seduction when he didn''t speak. The makeup that was already put on was not as bad as he imed. Only the highlights were a little brighter and looked less natural. And this man, obviously, was very picky about his makeup. Violet did a quick fix. "Well, David, take a look?" "All right? So soon?" David looked at himself in the mirror, raised his eyebrows and nodded in satisfaction. "No wonder you are praised as a god on the news. You do have tricks in makeup. No wonder that Louis was fooled by you." He took it as apliment to her. Violet smiled faintly, "Thank you David for thepliment." David looked at her and suddenly got up and walked to her side. "You''re not modest at all. Come on. Take a picture with me as my reward for you." Violet: "......" She was not his fan at all! She didn''t need that reward! CLICK. David took a few selfie, not allowing her to speak. Violet just felt like she was surrounded by eyes that were about to burn her. "Your ontact information." David said again. Violet dutifully took out her phone. "How much do you need for the makeup? How about being my makeup artist in the future?" David was on his phone and asked without raising his eyes. Violet was d but did not respond. David wanted have her as his makeup artist. It was a recognition of her ability. But the nature of his work deterred her from saying yes. Once she was his royal make-up artist, she will run with him from day to day and will not have time for her own daughter. "David, you''re looking highly of me too much. You are Louis'' friend. The makeup fee just now is waived. As for the your make-up artist, I ......" "There is no hurry. Take your time to think about it for a few days, and then answer me when you think it through." David interrupted Violet and looked up at her, then on his phone. Why did he think Violet and himself had some resemnce? Especially those eyes. David raised his eyebrows and picked the best photo and sent it to Louis. "Louis, I''m wearing your ugly wife''s makeup today!" He and Louis met when they were studying abroad. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. They were very much in tune with each other. He also felt sorry for Louis when he learned that his stepmother had chosen an ugly wife for him. But he didn''t realize that the true face of his ugly wife was a great beauty. Kind of interesting! There was no response on the phone. Louis was probably busy. David put away his phone and looked at himself in the mirror again, fixing his makeup. "Hi, so it''s Helena. I didn''t expect your handiwork to satisfy my David." Jessie''s makeup was also finished, and she chilled out the whole time, smiling and greeting Violet. She remembered this woman as Josie''s bosom friend. Was it the rumored ugly wife of the Johnson Family? Violet gave her a nonchnt nod and turned to pack her makeup. Jessie had the feeling of being ignored by her. Chapter 54 Chapter 54 She hid her inner displeasure and said with a smile to David, "David, let''s go to the lines." Violet was as obnoxious as Josie! ...... The other side. In the senior apartment. Louis sat on the couch and looked at the message from David, not rushing to reply. At this moment, there was a woman and child standing in front of him. The woman''s look was beautiful, with ck hair and pure temperament. The child beside her had delicate features, and her ck grape-like eyes were staring at him without a moment''s hesitation. At first nce, it looked like a scaled-down version of himself. It was Grace, the woman he slept with four years ago, and his son. Back then, the hotel surveince system happened to be upgraded and he failed to find out Grace first. And Grace was taken abroad by her aunt after she gave birth. After she had a car ident, she had been recuperating for the past few years and rarely showed up. And that was why it tooked his people so long to find out about her existence. "Luka, haven''t you always wanted to see your daddy? This is your daddy. Call daddy." Grace bent down slightly and nudged the little one. The little guy''s little mouth was pursed, and his body was pushed forward two steps. But then he stopped and stared at Louis without saying a word. Louis was looking at him in the same way. Just in case, he had the gic testing done again. But with simr features, he knew, without having to do the test, that it must be his own child. "Your name is Luka, isn''t it? Come here." Louis softened his voice and extended his hand towards him. The little one looked at him steadily, hesitated slightly, and slowly walked to his side. Tiny hands were ced in hisrge palm. Louis'' lips curved slightly and he held him on hisp. Another small figure suddenly shed in his mind. The same creamy aroma. Inexplicably, there was some softness in the heart. He looked at the little guy who didn''t say a word and reached out to rub his head. "Why don''t you say anything? Are you nervous?" This little guy was a bit silent. "Louis, I''m sorry I didn''t take care of Luka. He''s a little autistic and not very talkative." Grace''s eyes were a little red and she spoke softly. The smile on Louis'' face faded as he looked over at her, "Autistic? How did that happen?" "The doctor said he is not talkative, probably because of theck of fatherly love." Grace wiped her tears and said softly with slightly downcast eyes. Louis'' eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. His eyes fall on the little one''s face, and a trace of pain shed through his eyes. "I know. You stay here at ease. When the test resultse out, I will make arrangements." If the child was really his son, he will let him recognize his ancestors. "Louis, are you leaving?" Grace saw Louis get up and hastened to ask. "Well, I have things to do. I''ll leave first. You take care of him." Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Louis rubbed the little one''s head once again, then looked at Grace and left in stride. The child he will let him recognize his ancestors. What about the kid''s mother? And how should he make arrangements! Violet''s face suddenly shed in his mind. Louis took out his phone and saw the message just sent by David. Looking at the two avatars above, his thin lips pursed. Long, slender fingers typed down a line. "Already arrived? Come out for a get-together tonight." Grace was his first woman. In order for his son to have aplete family, did he need to divorce Violet and marry Grace again? Inside the house, the woman looked around and surveyed the tastefully decorated building. Her face expression changed dramstically. Pulling out her phone, she sent out a message. "Everything is going well." Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Josie drove her car to the hospital parking lot. After parking the car, she grabbed her bag and prepared to go for Violet''s gic testing. The crowd was a bit heavy and someone was walking too fast and bumped into her. She was holding her phone in one hand and her bag fell to the ground. The contents spilled out. The other party hurriedly apologized and helped her pick up the things on the ground. When picking up a stic bag, the other party paused, a little curious as to why it contained hair. Josie took it in a hurry and dropped it into her bag. In a car, Jasmine rolled down the window and watched Josie''s movements, pondering. She knew Josie, who got married and divorced in a sh more than four years ago with her director husband. Then there was a daughter by her side. That stic bag contained hair. Did shee for a gic test? Jasmine got out of the car and followed quickly. Josie found the testing department and went through the procedures. The examiner told her that it would take at least three days get the results. She nodded, said thanks to the person and then prepared to leave. After thinking about it, she found an unupied corner and pulled out her cell phone to call Violet. "Violet, I''m already at the hospital and the doctor said it would take three days at least for the results." "Okay, thank you, Josie." "No problem. I just wish Erin''s real father is Louis, so you wouldn''t have to be afraid of having your secret revealed and always thinking about divorcing him." "......" Josie and Violet talked a few more minutes, then hung up and left. As soon as she left, Jasmine slowly walked out from the corner. What did she just hear? Josie was on the phone with Violet, right? Could it be that the gic test she went for was to identify whether her daughter was rted to Louis? But why was Violet involved again? Jasmine was filled with suspicion. Something shed in her mind. Don''t tell her that the daughter next to Josie was actually Violet''s! And now, Violet was suspecting that her daughter was Louis'' child! This was a great news! Jasmine, in excitement, hastily took out her cell phone and dialed a number. "Didn''t I tell you to look into Violet''s past? Have you checked it out or not?" "Checked, Missy. Sending it to your phone right away." A few momentster, Jasmine had an additional profile on her phone. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Violet, 23 years old, graduated from Art College of City A. Father unknown. Birth mother died early in childbirth. Took a year off during college ......" The information was not detailed, but it was enough to make people suspicious. Take a year off during college! Why did she take a break from school? Was it because of pregnancy?! Jasmine''s grip on her phone tightened, and her eyes filled with a ghostly glow. Her mother was so angry with Violet and Louis that she was sick again. That was why she came to the hospital to get medication for her mother. She didn''t expect to run into this incident! Violet. Just saw if she revealed her secret! ...... Film and television base. By the sink, makeup artist Lucie''s eyes were red with tears. She went to beg David one more time to give her another chance, but to no avail. The make-up artists circle was not small, and the fact that she was kicked out by David today was sure to get out soon. Chapter 56 Chapter 56 It was almost impossible for Lucie to take such a big order in the future. "Poor thing. Your job is just taken away?" Jessie came out of the bathroom and washed her hands with a look of pity. "Jessie." Lucie sniffled and raised her hand to wipe her tears. "Lucie, I know your ability. It''s not that bad. I think someone is deliberately stealing your job." Jessie turned off the tap and pulled out a paper towel to wipe her hands slowly and methodically. Lucie''s hand stopped wiping and she looked at Jessie. Jessie said carelessly, "Helena''s level is just like that. David''s makeup. Isn''t it still built on the foundation of your makeup with a little touch-up?" Jessie paused and looked at Lucie, shaking her head and sighing, "I really feel bad for you. Helena is a woman with scheming. She can use her make-up to get around. How can a simple girl like you be her opponent?" "Can''t you see she''s just been showing off in front of my David? Those boobs are almost rubbing up against my David''s face! It''s really time for all of David''s fans to see Helena''s true face." Jessie finished, gave Lucie a regretful look and turned to leave. Lucie bit her lip. Her eyes were full of resignation. Jessie was right. She was not bad at makeup. Why should Helena steal the limelight that should be hers! ...... Night came. Violet finished thest makeup for David and let out a long breath. Without David, she would have finished work early. But David asked her to rece Lucie to do makeup for him for the next two days. Then much money was transfered by him without any further ado. She won''t have trouble with money ...... Violet curved her lips, grabbed her belongings and left the base. Just as she walked outside, a group of people rushed over. "Helena, someone reveals that you seduced David. Is that true?" "Helena, shame on you. Aren''t you already married? Why do you want to hook up my idol?" "Helena, is this why you married into the Johnson Family by pretending to be ugly? Is it because Louis is not good at sex and you are too horny? That''s why you pretend to be ugly and hook up with rich people as the role ofHelena?" "......" Her ears were filled with the sound of noise. Reporters and David''s fans flocked to the base and surrounded her. Violet looked stunned and reached out to block the blinding light in front of her. Her phone was mute, and she just didn''t check on her phone because she was in a hurry to get back. When was she in the news again? That she seduced David? Don''t be so ridiculous! "Quiet! Can I have a word?" Violet let out a long breath and looked to the crowd. "I don''t know where the gossip ising from that I seduced David. Today I did have contact with David, but only as his temporary make-up artist. We only had contact at work. Nothing more. Please don''t speak or act on hearsay evidence." "Liar! Look at yourself! Do you need to be so close to David when you do makeup? Why don''t you sit on my idol''sp and apply makeup for him!" A fan of David''s held up her phone with an angry look on her face and showed a few photos. Violet watched the photoes, only to feel speechless. Those pictures were of her refining David''s makeup. But the photographer deliberately captured a special angle and made it particrly ambiguous. There was someone who deliberately framed her!Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "Helena, you shameless woman! If you can''t stand loneliness, so just go to clubs to find a pimp! Why do you want to haunt my idol!" "That''s right, Helena. Do your husband know what you''re doing?" "Shame on you! Shame on you!" David''s fans got emotional and some suddenly threw rotten eggs at Violet. Violet gasped and hurriedly reached up to shield her face. "Stop it!" Chapter 57 Chapter 57 A man''s voice rang out and Violet turned around to see Isaac who was squeezing in. "Violet, is everything okay?" "It''s okay." Isaac escorted her forward. As they walk, he pulled out his phone to take a video. "What are you doing? Bullying people? Please get out of the way quickly or I can sue you for intentional injury." Hearing this, a few fans called out, "Who are you again? Another of Helena''s men out there?" "That''s right, Helena. You''re a whore! How many men do you to want to sleep with?" "......" Looking at the fans who were with no intention of backing down, Violet pulled Isaac and stopped walking. "Guys, my husband is Louis. I don''t need to tell you how harmonious we are as a couple in sex. And as for he, please do not guess. He is just a good friend of mine. He is righteous and does it mean that he is having an affair with me? Do you dare to say that you do not have a few friends of the opposite sex around you?" Violet paused and added: "Besides, even if you don''t believe in me, you should believe in your idol. In your eyes, he is so phndering? His taste is so unique? Does he like married women? As his fans, please remain calm and use your reason to see things. Don''t be taken advantage of by people with scheming." She could probably guess who was responsible for the news today. She hoped that her words will make these fans stop attacking her. Violet finished, gave Isaac a frank look and said, "Isaac , let''s go." "Okay." Isaac, still wary of the fans, escorted Violet away. Not far away, in a car that was just pulled out, David watched the scene with interest, and his eyebrows slightly raised. It seemed that Louis'' ugly wife was very eloquent and had a strong sense of crisismunication! However, she was also surrounded by a lot of escorts! Up front, Isaac let Violet sit at the passenger''s seat. Violet fastened her seat belt and exhaled. "Isaac, what brings you here?" "I saw the news, and I couldn''t get through to you on the phone, so I was afraid something will happen to you, so I came over to take a look." Isaac started the car and smiled gently towards Violet. "Thanks." "No problem" Isaac took a bag from the back seat and handed it to Violet. "You''re hungry, right? Eat something first." Violet opened the bag and smiled, "Wow, the western suburbs'' most famous fried buns! No wonder I smelled it as soon as I got in the car." "I know you love it, so I stopped by there to buy it!" Isaac gave her a look with warmth in his brows. "Well, then I''ll be d to eat it." Violet picked up a bun, paused and smiled, "Isaac, it''s a blessing for me to have the privilege of knowing you as a warm-hearted big brother in my life." Warm-hearted big brother! Did she just ssify him as a rtive? A bitter smile spilled from the corner of Isaac''s mouth. ...... Imperial Club. VIP private room. Several women dressed in sexy clothes were singing for fun. Louis leanedzily on the couch, ss in hand. His dark eyes looked into the void in front of him. There was no emotion on his handsome face. On one side of the sofa, Austin had a young model sitting in his arms, and was flirting with the other. Austin looked over Louis as he let go of the woman in his arms and walked over with a ss of wine. "Still thinking about life?" Louis had found the woman from four years ago. This woman was great at hiding a four-year-old child. Now let his old friend who was married have no way to back down! Louis'' thin lips were lightly pursed, and he picked up a ss and filled it with wine, allowing the spicy liquid to slide into his heart. He was thinking about his life. To divorce Violet or not, that was the question. The tter of high heels sounded and Nina pushed the door. Her eyes fell on Louis and she pouted as she walked over to him and turned on her phone.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 58 Chapter 58 "Louis, your wife is in the news again! Everyone is ndering you, saying that you are impotent. She hid her real face to marry you so that she can hook up with someone else. Why do you still stay with this kind of woman? Get a divorce!" Hearing this, Louis nced at the news on her phone. His dark eyes narrowed, and a trace of annoyance shed across his face. "It''s all just the reporters who speak on hearsay evidence. Nina, even if I divorce her, there''s no way I''ll have anything with you. I hope you don''t do the same stupid thing you did four years ago. You should know my temper." The only reason he had a night with Grace four years ago was because Nina had put something in his drink. If Nina was not Austin''s sister, he would not spare her. Louis stopped speaking as Austin coughed lightly and hurriedly got up to push his sister out. "Well, Nina, Louis and I have things to talk about, so go out and y by yourself." Nina''s eyes were a little red as she looked at Louis and called out, "Louis, we grew up together. Why don''t you like me?" Why? Because it was too familiar! He only treated her like a sister. Louis ripped the button off his cor and downed himself a ss of wine. Outside the door stood Harry, and Austin pushed Nina towards him. " Harry, help me take care of my sister." Harry faintly froze, and hurriedly held Nina, with a sh of tenderness in his eyes. "Yes, sir." Austin entered the private room. Knowing that Louis liked quiet environment, he gestured for a few women who apanied the singers to go out. The room was quiet now. Austin gave Louis a ss of wine. "Louis, so what do you really think now? Don''t want to get a divorce? Fancy Violet? If that''s the case, I suggest you give Grace some money and get rid of her. You and she are just a mistake four years ago. There is nothing to hold on to." Use money to get rid of Grace? It was not that he didn''t think about it. But she gave him a son. A son cannotck a mother''s love. He knew it well. Louis didn''t say anything, just picked up his ss again and drank it all in one go. "I don''t have a crush on Violet." How did he fall in love with that woman with an evil heart? But he just thought she was pretty interesting. Outside the room. Unwilling to just leave, Nina wanted to turn back but heard their conversation. Her hands that were about to push the door paused. "Grace? Who is she? And why did Louis pay her?" "Miss Evison, don''t go in and disturb Mr. Evison and Mr. Johnson. Let''s go out first." Harry grabbed Nina and pulled her away despite her objections. "I''m not going out! Harry, you''re Louis'' special assistant. You must know everything about him. So tell me, who the hell is Grace?" T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Nina threw Harry off and questioned. Harry had a difficult look on his face, "Miss Evison ......" "If you don''t say, then I''ll go in and ask them." "I''ll say." Harry hastily pulled her back, looked around, and whispered, "Four years ago, you put something in Mr. Johnson''s drink, and that''s when Grace relieved Mr. Johnson of the drug. And ......" "And what?" "Also, she gave birth to a son for Mr. Johnson and now lives in one of Mr. Johnson''s apartments." "What?!" Nina almost broke down. She stumbled a little, with a look of disorientation. "Why? Why would he rather sleep with another woman than have sex with me? Am I that bad?" "No, Miss Evison, you''re good." Harry hurriedly held her and wrapped her arms around him as they walked towards the first floor. The door of a private room was open. Jasmine looked steadily at the two walking away. Her face was full of oddity. What kind of luck did she have today? Hearing one secret after another? Louis was hiding a woman and a child in his apartment? And the timeline, again, was four years ago? Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Styling Studio. "Mommy, you''reback." Erin was sitting in the lounge area ying with dolls. Seeing Violet and Isaacing up one after the other, she hurriedly slid off the couch and ran towards Violet. "Be careful." Violet caught Erin and kissed her. Erin giggled and kissed Violet back, holding her face. "Stinky little girl, why don''t I see you so happy every time Ie backte!" Josie deliberately asked that. Erin was in Violet''s arms, smiling brightly. "Violet, Isaac, have you guys eaten yet? If you haven''t, I''ll cook for you." Evie ran up and asked with a smile. "I just ate a couple of buns and I''m not hungry anymore." Violet smiled back. "Evie, don''t be busy. I''ve eaten." Isaac smiled faintly. "Oh, good." Evie looked at Isaac, "Isaac, you seem to have lost weight. Have you been working too hard?" "Yes? Not really." "Really! Isaac, I think I saw you have a gray hair. You squat down a little. I''ll pluck it for you." "Hmm? Really?" "......" Watching the interaction between the two, Violet''s almond eyes shed slightly. She always knew that her cousin liked Isaac. Hopefully Isaac will look back and in time and find that her cousin was a better fit for him than she was. "Violet, what''s the news about again?" Josie pulled Violet over and asked. "It''s nothing. David kicked out a makeup artist today. Probably someone didn''t feel good about it, so made a little noise." That photos. It was most likely that Lucie took them. Violet saw her daughter in her arms who was rubbing her eyes and getting sleepy, so she prepared to put her to bed first. At that moment, the cell phone in her pocket rang. Violet handed her daughter to Josie and pulled out her phone to look at it. It was a call from Louis. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Probably came to rush her back to the vi! Violet exhaled and stepped aside to pick up the phone. "Hello?" "Miss Elliott, it''s Austin. Louis has drunk too much. Pleasee to the Imperial Club." The call was actually from Austin! Violet was surprised and didn''t bother to think about the name that came out of his mouth, so she asked for the address and hung up. "Another call from Louis urging you to go back?" Josie inquired as she hugged Erin, who was lying on her shoulder. "No, it was Austin''s calling, saying Louis was drunk at the clubhouse and wanted me toe over and pick him up." Violet grabbed her belongings and looked at her daughter with an apologetic face. Erin was drowsy, and when she heard that Violet was going out, she woke up. "Mommy, are you going to Daddy''s ce to make money? Erin is going with you!" Violet: "......" The word "Daddy" was really getting more and more frequent. "Erin, he''s not really your daddy, so don''t call him that anymore! Mommy''s going out, so be a good girl and listen to Josie Mommy, okay?" "Handsome Uncle said that next time we can let Erin and Mommy go to him together." Erin ttened her mouth, and her dark eyes slowly filled with tears. A face of aggravation. Violet had a headache and gave Josie a somewhat helpless look. Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Josie waved at her, gesturing for her to go first. "Erin, that''s just a polite form, not to be taken seriously. Be a good girl and go upstairs with Josie Mommy." "Handsome Uncle really said so." Erin watched Violet leave with tears in her eyes, then hugged Josie''s neck. "Mommy doesn''t love Erin anymore, and Mommy must go with Daddy to have other little babies." Josie: "......" This kid. How can she be so imaginative! "Evie, I''ll go first, too." Isaac, who hadn''t spoken, said hello to Evie, then quickly followed Violet. Evie opened her mouth and a trace of mncholy shed in her eyes. Outside, Violet had to hail a cab because she parked her car in the base. "Violet, let me drive you there." "Huh? No, Isaac, it''ste. You should go back." "Get in the car." Isaac pulled Violet into the passenger''s seat without saying a word. In the Club''s private room. David, who just came here,zily leaned back on the couch and watched Austin who put down the phone, "Austin, you''re calling his ugly wife without Louis'' consent. Be careful Louises out to get you in trouble." Austin clinked sses with him and smiled wickedly, "I''m creating opportunities for both of them." Louis said he didn''t like Violet. But in fact? If he didn''t like Violet, how could he hesitate and look sullen on how to arrange this matter with Violet and Grace? Louis was the man who was doing excellently in the businee. This was not his style! "Speaking of which, this ugly wife of Louis is really quite surprising. To actually hide her real face and marry into the Johnson Family, what do you think the reason she did that?" David yed with his wine ss with a curious look on his face. Austin raised an eyebrow and was about to speak when Louis, who had juste out of the bathroom, asked, "What did you call her?" The man''s voice was a little deep, with a hint of intoxication. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. David raised an eyebrow, "Louis, you''re not happy with me calling her that? What should I call her then, Miss Elliott?" "She is my wife. What do you think she should be called?" Louis drank a little too much, but his eyes were still sharp. "Ah! Should be called sister-inw. Right?" David came over, "But howe I heard from Austin that you''re going to divorce her soon?" Louis looked at Austin with a displeased look, "Did I say that?" "Ahem, you didn''t say that. I guessed it." Austin coughed lightly and looked at Louis teasingly, "Didn''t you say you didn''t like her? Now that Grace is back with your son. You don''t divorce Violet. Do you want to have both of them at the same time?" Not divorce with Violet. Just let it be! There didn''t seem to be anything wrong with this idea! Seemingly, he didn''t want to divorce Violet! Louis picked up his ss and took another big gulp of wine. There was some tightness in the chest, and he didn''t know if it was because of too much wine, or for other reasons. "Louis, you need to drink less. You''ll get really drunk if you keep drinking like this." "It''s okay. Just let him drink. Anyway,ter his ugly wife, no, sister-inw wille to pick him up." "Yo, speak of the devil and he''s here." What were they talking about? Violet woulde to take him back? Louis was a little slow to react after drinking too much. Just the door of the private room opened, and a woman''s aroma wafted in. It was familiar and smelled good. He lifted his eyes slightly, and in a trance, he saw Violet''s pretty face zooming in in front of him. "Violet?" His ugly wife really came to take him home? His mood was inexplicably pleasant! Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Violet thought drunk men were kind of cute. A few less harsh, a few more simple and cute. "Mr. Johnson, let''s go home. Can you walk?" Louis looked at her and said slowly, "You hold me up." "Okay." Violet took his hand and put it on her shoulder. Louis obediently relied on her. He was a little heavy. Violet bit her lower lip and smiled with the two men present, "Mr. Evison, David. We''ll go first." "Violet, do you need our help?" David saw that she was struggling and had the intention of going forward to help. "Huh? Yeah." Violet stopped. His help was most wee for her. Austin raised an eyebrow, pulled David who was about to step forward, and gave him a wink. What kind of help did she need from a guy who was senseless? Didn''t Louis say that? Let her help Louis alone! David gave Austin a look that he had already understood. Just as he was about to speak, Louis stopped. There was a hint of warning in his slightly drunken gaze, "David, remember, she''s your sister-inw. Stay away from her in the future! If you make any more scandals, I won''t spare you!" David: "......" Sheesh! Louis was still as dominant and strong as ever. What he had used, even if he was about to ditch, no one would be allowed to get their hands on it. "Yes, yes, I know." After Louis warned David, he looked at Violet again. "I''m your husband. Don''t you dare try to throw me to someone else?" Violet: "......" She just wanted a hand, okay? "No, you''re a little heavy. I''m afraid I''ll drop you." "So useless? Eat more in the future and grow more strength." Violet: "......" She didn''t want to talk to drunks. Violet mentally rolled her eyes and helped Louis out of the clubhouse. Behind them, Austin and David followed leisurely with their hands in their pockets. They watched their boss bully the petite and weak woman. Violet felt as if the weight on her shoulders was much lighter. She blinked her almond eyes and gave Louis a sideways nce. In the light, Louis''s cheeks were slightly red, and even the tips of his eyebrows were flushed with red. The breath carried a hint of alcohol. Some teasing. Violet''s heart moved slightly, and took him to the car at Austin''s gesture. "Violet." Not far away, Isaac closed the car door and strutted toward her. Violet was surprised, "Isaac, you haven''t left yet?" "Well, I''m afraid you can''t hold it alone. I''ll give a hand." Isaac walked over to Louis'' side and reached out to help him. Violet opened her mouth, and before she could speak, Louis stood up slightly straighter and shook off his hand. His handsome brows frowned slightly, and the dark eyes swept over Isaac. "Isaac?" "It''s me, Mr. Johnson. I''ll help you to the car." "No need." Louis refused. He then looked sideways at Violet. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. With one hand still holding her shoulder, the other hand cupped her chin and he kissed on her red lips. "Honey, let''s go home." His tone was soft, with a hint of affection. Violet only felt a warmth on her red lips. By the time she reacted, she was blushing. Louis kissed her in front of them! This man! "That, we''ll go first." Violet blushed as she carefully helped Louis into the back seat of the car, then quickly got into the driver''s seat and started the car. Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Isaac''s hands, hanging at his sides, tugged slightly. He thought Louis had no feelings for Violet? But just now, he was showing him with practical actions: Violet, was his wife! Violet drove on, ncing in the rearview mirror from time to time. The good thing was that the drunken man was quiet and just sat in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed. When they arrived at Lyonhall Vi, Violet pulled off the car and opened the door. "Mr. Johnson, it''s home." Louis slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his swollen temples, and entered the vi with Violet''s help. "Mrs. Johnson, did the young master have too much drink?" Lucy greeted. "Yes, Lucy, please make some sober soup." "Okay." Violet helped Louis into the king-size bed in the master bedroom. Whew! Exhausted, she sweated. Violet wiped the sweat from the corner of her forehead, sat on the edge of the bed and reached over to take Louis'' jacket off for him. Sensing her movement, Louis suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at Violet steadily and sped her wrist. The next second, she was pinned underneath her. He looked at her, and his hot breath blew on her face. Violet gasped, "Mr. Johnson?" Louis looked straight at her, something shining in his deep eyes. He reached out and gently stroked her hair. His voice was a little muffled. "Why it is not you?" Obviously her scent was so familiar. Why wasn''t she the woman he slept with four years ago! In that way, he wouldn''t have to struggle to divorce her! T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Mr. Johnson, what are you talking about?" Violet was unsure, blinking her almond eyes with a suspicious look. Her small face was clear and beautiful. Louis rolled his throat slightly and cupped her chin. "Violet, remember who you are. You''re still my wife. Stay away from the men around you!" It was David, and it was Isaac again. Why did he think that if he divorced her, someone will take her away immediately! Felt so bad! Violet opened her mouth, a little speechless. This man, presumably, saw the news and warned her. "Mr. Johnson, you are so heavy. Can you let go of me now?" "You''re my wife. Where do you want to go?" Louis cupped her chin, a tide of love floating in his dark eyes. She was still his wife and he missed the taste of her. Louis slowly leaned over ...... TICK! A message came in from the phone ced aside. Louis''s movements were halting and he nced up. It was a message from Grace. His passion in the body seemed to freeze in a moment. He let go of Violet, got out of bed and fetched his phone. On the phone, there was a picture of the little one sleeping. Louis'' eyes shed with a hint ofplexity. "Mr. Johnson, I''m going out. Call me if you need anything." Violet blushed and looked at Louis''s long figure and walked out of the bedroom. What did he try to do to her just now? A bit of a blush! ...... Balridge Manor. In the room, Jasmine handed Rosalie the medicine and sharply closed the door behind her. "Mom, what a surprise! A major discovery." Jasmine told Rosalie about the two pieces of news she heard today. Rosalie was originally looking poorly and was not in good spirits. But when she heard Jasmine''s words, her spirits lifted. "Are you saying that it''s possible that Violet has a child? And this child might still be Louis''? And Louis has a woman and a child back here. And the woman is someone he slept with four years ago. And the child is Louis''?" "Yes! Mom, I always felt something was wrong." Jasmine said, "Did Louis sleep with two women at the same time four years ago? He doesn''t look like a man who can''t control himself that well." Rosalie sneered, "Have someone keep an eye on both sides. First find out if Josie''s daughter is Louis'' or not. No matter what the result is, this is a good time to attack Louis. The session ceremony has passed. And this time, I will definitely pull him down!" Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Film and televison base. Violet put Julia''s makeup on and sat down to wait for David. "Good morning, sister-inw." David''szy grunts came from behind Violet''s was arranging her make-up box, and then looked back at him. "David, just call me Helena from now on." She was not used to being called "sister-inw" by David. David sat down on the make-up chair andughed, "How can that be? If Louis finds out, he will scold me." Violet''s ears reddened slightly at the thought of Louis'' drunken appearance. She hurriedly shook off her distractions andid out her makeup one by one. Seeing her difort, David moved closer to her and teased, "Sister-inw, you and Louis must have gotten along very wellst night, didn''t you?" Violet: "......" Wasn''t David famous for his aloofness in the circle? Why did he also love gossip! "David, sit down. I''m going to put your makeup on." Violet just pretended she didn''t hear him and prepared to put on his makeup. David raised an eyebrow, felt Violet''s fingers'' movementd on his face, and added, "Seriously, keep the goodies within the family. Sister-inw, you can be my makeup artist! The sry is totally up to you." This invitation was really attractive. However, she can''t ept it for the moment! Violet curved her lips, "Thank you David for looking highly of me, but forget it! I prefer to diversify and serve the public than just doing makeup for one person." She used the makeup tools to apply colors to different people and felt the surprise and ident of each other. It was a sense of aplishment. Very interesting. "So, you''re rejecting me? Listen, the sound of my heart breaking." David''s hand was ced on his heart with a regretful face. Violet couldn''t help butugh out loud, not expecting David to be so funny in private. "I''m sorry!" "An apology and that''s it?" David said, "Sister-inw, you have to tter me, even if you won''t be my exclusive makeup artist, I still have a lot of resources that I can share with you." "Oh! So David, I''ll treat you to the best cake in the world?" "Hmm? Yes!" The two were talking andughing, and Violet nned to have some cake and drinks broughtter. It was also a disguised way to promote Tasty Interlude Bakery. At the entrance of the dressing room, Jessie watched the two of them talking andughing, and a trace of jealousy shed in her eyes. Yesterday she managed to bewitch Lucie. But Violet defused the hostility of his fans in just a few words. All the scandals about David and her were also withdrawn. Now, her rtionship with David looked closer instead. For what?! "David, has your exclusive make-up artist not arrived yet? Do you want me to hire a new male makeup artist for you?" Jessie modestly walked over and said delicately, "You know, you are not an ordinary person. A little gossip will cause an uproar. You don''t want it happening again like yesterday, being misunderstood about your rtionship with Helena." Hearing this, Violet''s hands paused and did not speak. Celebrity scandals were already numerous. With exaggeration, there were too many news to stand with. Jessie was looking at herself in a bad light! "Is everything really OK if you hire a male make-up artist? If the reporters really want to make me up, they can say that I am not normal and like men." David replied in a light voice. Violet thought it made sense and couldn''t help but let out a softugh. David raised his eyebrows, "Sister-inw, what are youughing at? I''m just giving an example. I''m straight." "You don''t have to exin to me. I''m not a fan of yours." "Sister-inw, how can you not be my fan? No, you have to follow me." "......" Jessie was ignored by them, watching the two joking around as if no one was next to them. Jessie clenched her fists. The more she looked at Violet, the more annoying it got! ...... Tasty Interlude Bakery. "Viole, it''s a hundred pieces of cakes and drinks right?" Evie got a call from Violet asking her to prepare cakes and drinks and deliver them to the base. After hanging up the phone, she ordered the back kitchen to make pastries and was busy. "Evie, is that your sister on the phone?" Josie carried Erin downstairs and listened to what she just said. "Yes, she''s busy in the base and said she''d treat everyone afternoon tea." Evie replied quickly. "Josie Mommy, Erin misses Mommy. Let''s go see her!" Erin hugged Josie''s neck and pampered in a milky voice. "Okay, as you wish." Josie pinched the tip of the little one''s nose and gave a doting smile. "Evie, give me the stuff when it''s readyter and I''ll deliver it for you." Anyway, she had nothing to do, so she might as well go visit Violet. "Hee hee, off to see mommy! So cheerful!" Erin pped her little hands with a look of excitement. ...... Superior Apartment. Grace looked at the little one sitting on the sofa, ying with the Rubik''s Cube without saying a word. Her almond eyes rolled. "Luka, do you want to see your father?" Louis settled the two of them here, and she had to find a way to bring them closer together. The little guy''s hands moved a little, pursed his lips and looked at Grace. Although not speaking, there was a light shing in his eyes. "You want to see him, right? Then I''ll call him and ask him to go out with us for a stroll!" Grace''s mouth was slightly hooked as she picked up her phone and dialed Louis'' number. "Hello?" "Louis, can I take Luka out for a little shopping? I want to buy him clothes." Louis was silent, "I''ll have someonee pick you up. You guys hang out first. I''lle find you after I take care of some things." "Okay." Satisfied, Grace tossed her phone onto the couch and then got up. "Wait, I''m going to change my clothes." The little guy didn''t say anything, just quickly fiddled with the Rubik''s Cube in his hand. He was going to show his dad his resultster. ...... The base. Violet received a phone call from Josie and knew that she wasing to deliver the cake, so she hurriedly arranged for someone to help her get the cake. "Josie, why are you doing errands?" "It''s Erin. She said she missed you and wanted toe see you. Anyway, I''m an idle person, so I brought her here." Josie carried Erin out of the car and the little one jumped into Violet''s arms with a cheeky grin. "Mommy." "Mommy is dirty. Go to Josie Mommy." Violet, dressed in her make-up work uniform and carried countless boxes of cakes in her hands, for fear of getting Erin''s clothes dirty. "Come here. Josie Mommy hugs you." Josie held the little one and went into the base with Violet. They met a few people. One of them was around thirty-five years old, not really tall, but quite circumspect. He was talking to a few actors beside him about something. Violet paused slightly in her steps and subconsciously nced at Josie. That person was none other than Oscar Barrett, the director of the y and Josie''s ex-husband.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Naturally, Josie saw Oscar too. The hand she held Erin tightened slightly, and the smile that was on her face instantly faded away. "Violet, since the pastries are delivered. Erin and I will go back first." If she had known that the crw where Violet was was under Oscar''s charge, she would not havee. "Mommy, I don''t want to go back." Erin had only just arrived, wiggling her little body with a reluctant look on her face. "Erin, do as you''re told. Let''s go back and Mommy will be back in the evening." Josie''s face didn''t look too good and she was ready to leave with the little one in her arms. "No, oooh, Mommy. I don''t want to go." Erin whimpered unhappily. Violet watched Josie''s back as she turned away, wanting to say something. She was about to say something when a man''s voice came from behind. "Josie?" It was Oscar''s voice. Josie''s footsteps lurched and she hugged Erin tighter. "Well, Josie Mommy. Erin is not feeling well."T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. The little one grunted in difort. Josie returned to her senses and hastily rxed the force. "Erin, I''m sorry, did I hurt you?" The little one kept her little mouth shut and looked at Oscar, who approached them. Oscar was looking at her in the same way, and something shed in his dazzling eyes. "Josie, long time no see. She is your daughter?" At that time, Josie turned around so that Erin''s back was to him. "Yeah, what''s up?" Josie''s skin was fair and delicate. Her maroon frizzy hair draped over her shoulders, so charming. Oscar''s eyes lit up and he was a little stunned. He hadn''t seen her for four years and the woman in front of him had be more attractive. His eyes flickered slightly as his eyes fell on Erin''s face, "How old is this child? You, she ......" Oscar paused and took Josie''s arm with some delight, "Josie, tell me honestly. Is this child my daughter?" Hearing this, Josie shook him off and snickered: "Your daughter? Oscar, you don''t know what your condition is? Your sperms are weak! Otherwise, you have yed with so many women, howe you have not produced a few illegitimate children?" "You ......" Oscar choked and looked at Josie''s sneering face with a sh of annoyance in his eyes. "Josie, don''t nder me! What do you mean by ying with so many women? It''s just a show for men at the drinking table. It can''t be taken seriously." "Really? So you''re saying you''ve only yed Jessie as a mistress?" Josie held her chin high, and her eyes were full of mockery. "I ......" Oscar felt a little embarrassed, knowing she was taunting Jessie as a mistress. At that moment, Jessie''s voice rang out. "Yo, isn''t this Josie? Why are you free toe over? And you brought your child here?" Rivals met. Josie''s pretty face was taut with the slightest hint of coldness. Violet asked the staff to bring in the pastries while she carried Erin over. Jessie walked up to Oscar and took his arm in a loving manner. "Josie, I haven''t seen you for four years, and your child is already so big? I don''t think I''ve heard that you''re married, right? Who is the father of that child? Could it be that you were so miserable after your divorce . That you went to a bar and got drunk, and then found a random man and gave birth to the child? Then isn''t she a fatherless bastard?" Josie called her a mistress, then she called Josie slutty and shameless! Chapter 65 Chapter 65 The child was a bastard! Josie looked at her and said angrily, "Who are you calling a bastard? Jessie Shaw, do you dare say that again?" "Oh, sorry, look at me. How can I be so blunt. Josie, a child without a father is just a child without a father. It is not a big deal. Just find her a stepfather." Jessie pretended to be apologetic, but the words that came out were heartbreaking. "I have quite a few rich divorced wealthy businessmen around me. I''ll ask them for you some day and see if they can find the time to meet with you. I think with your looks, it shouldn''t be a problem to find some men who have divorced for two or three times." In other words, Josie only deserved to be with divorced and older men. Josie was furious and was about to say something when the person beside her suddenly threw a drink at Jessie. Josie swallowed her words and looked sideways to see Violet with an empty cup in her hand, staring coldly at Jessie. Erin hid behind her, with her little hands covering her little face. And her big eyes were looking out curiously through the cracks in her fingers. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "Ah!" Jessie was sshed all over and reacted with anger and screaming. Oscar was busy asking his assistant to bring dry towels. "Helena, are you sick? If you''re sick, hurry up and go to the hospital!" Jessie was dripping wet and shouting loudly,pletely losing her usually charming and lovely image. "You''re the one who should go to the hospital. With that stinky mouth, I don''t know how Oscar can stand you." Violet paused and continued: "Well, I understand. You faked your pregnancy back then, and relied on Oscar who can only put up with it." She was a protective person. It was okay it someone scolded her, but scolding her daughter and bosom friend was just not okay! "Helena, you!" Jessie was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to go up to Violet and tear her apart. Seeing the surrounding people watching the show, Oscar hurriedly put his arm around her and forcibly pulled her away. Violet tossed the empty cup in her hand into a trash can and picked up her daughter. "Josie, is everything okay?" Marriage was a pain in Josie''s heart, and after the divorce, she never mentioned Oscar. Oscar was a talented man, famous in the directors'' circle. Josie fell in love with him at first sight. They had a ten years age gap and he spoiled her like a princess. But she didn''t realize that Oscar was a scumbag. Perhaps it was the environment that made him unable to keep his heart. After all, the entertainment industry was full of women who wanted to get on top by their bodies. As a result, Oscar doted on Josie while secretly making a deal with Jessie, who was even younger than Josie. The two just got married and Jessie came to their home with a fake belly to force Oscar ...... "It''s okay." Josie took a deep breath and smoothed her hair around her ear, "A couple of scumbags. It doesn''t deserve me to get angry." Scum with cheap girl, perfect match! "Well, get to work. I''m taking Erin back." Josie carried Erin over and let Violet go back for work. "Okay." Violet paused and stroked her daughter''s soft hair, "Erin, Josie Mommy feels wrong. You have to "Well nah." Erin hugged Josie''s neck and said, "Josie Mommy, don''t feel bad. Mommy just taught that bad women a lesson about. Later Erin will curse them!" Josie was amused and was in a much brighter mood. "Little Erin is such a sweet little darling of Josie Mommy. Let''s go, Josie Mommy will take you to the mall and buy some pretty little dresses." When people were in a bad mood, they had to go shopping to vent their angers! Chapter 66 Chapter 66 The rest room. Jessie mmed everything on the table to the floor, and her eyes were glowing red. She was a mistress and forced Oscar to divorce by fake pregnancy! This was her ck history she had been trying so hard to hide! But Violet and Josie just said it out without a second thought! Embarrassing! "Okay, Jessie, don''t be angry. How bad is it to be seen by everyone?" Oscar looked at the wreckage all over the floor, and a trace of impatience shed between his eyebrows. Her temper and her habit to drop things when angry let him feel tired. Josie''s face shed in his mind and Oscar was a little distracted. "Oscar, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about Josie?" No one knew him better as his wife. Jessie read Oscar''s mind and squealed at once. Oscar''s eyes shed, "I''m thinking about the crew. All right, don''t get your head in the clouds. Hurry up and get ready for the rehearsal." After saying that, he turned around and left. Jessie was so angry that her face changed for a moment. Josie, Violet, those two obnoxious women! She and they were extremely antagonistic! Jessie took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down. A few momentster, she took out her cell phone and dialed out a call. "Lucie, have you found a job yet? We are still short of make-up artists. If you haven''t found a job yet, ...... At mall. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. It was weekend and there was a lot of people. The mall was having an event inside. Staff dressed in mannequin costumes were handing out small gifts to visitors passing by. Josie went straight to the children''s counter with Erin in her arms. "Erin, how do you like the fairy dress?" "Like." "What about this jacket?" "Like." "......" Josie bought several sets of clothes for the little one and the upset calmed down a little. Carrying the bag in one hand and the little one in the other, she ran to a shop to look at clothes again. "Erin, Josie Mommy is going to try on a dress while you sit in your chair and watch your new dress, okay?" Josie had her eye on an outfit and was ready to go into the dressing room to try it on. "Okay." Erin sat in the rest area with a good and obedient face. When Josie entered the dressing room, the little one wiggled her little legs and looked from side to side with big eyes. When she saw a person in a mannequin costume walking in the direction of the bathroom, she slid off the couch. Where was the bear going? She was going to get her present! Erin chased the bear to the corner with her short legs. She looked around and didn''t see Bear, and her little mouth puckered up. Where did the big bear go? At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from behind. Immediately afterwards, a woman''s voice rang out. "Little girl, is it that you can''t find your mommy?" Erin turned, looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her, and cocked her head, "No, it''s because I can''t find the big bear." The middle-aged woman''s eyes turned and picked her up, "You''re looking for big bear. Auntie knows where the bear is. Auntie will take you to find it." Erin may be young, but she had a good head. She looked at the middle-aged woman who was trying to take her to the unupied safe passage and shouted, "Put me down. I''m not going with you. Josie Mommy is waiting for me! You''re a bad person. Josie Mommy!" Both her Mommy and Josie Mommy told her not to run around outside or go with strangers. She was disobeying again! Was this aunt a bad person? "Little girl, stop it. Do you want to see the big bear? We''ll see it soon." The middle-aged woman, with a thief''s eyes, covered Erin''s mouth. Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Erin grunted. Her little body was twisting and turning, and her little legs kicked and stomped desperately. The middle-aged woman was kicked twice in the heart, and her fierce face was suddenly revealed. "Stop it, or I''ll kill you!" Really met the bad guy! Mommy had told her that some bad people would abduct and sell children. Oooh, she''ll never see her mommy again? Was she going to be sold into a rural ce! Erin''s eyes were teary and she had a scared look on her face. When the middle-aged woman saw Erin being scared, the woman was smug. She was about to enter the safety passage when she got a sudden pain in her calf. She stumbled to her knees. Erin in her hand also fell to the ground. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Ouch." Erin braced her small hands on the ground and yelped. At that moment, a small figure rushed over and pulled her up with force. Erin raised her eyes and looked at the little boy, who was about her own age, and blinked nkly. The little boy pursed his lips and tugged on Erin''s little hand, looking warily at the middle-aged woman who was getting up from the ground. Then the little boy held Erin''s hand and ran together. "Stop right there! Little brats. You stop right there." The shouts of middle-aged women came from behind them. The boy turned a deaf ear and pulled Erin towards a crowded area. Not far away, Josie was looking for Erin with an anxious look on her face. "Erin, where are you?" "Josie Mommy, I''m here!" Erin heard Josie''s voice and hurriedly answered, letting go of the little boy''s hand and running towards her. Josie was relieved to finally meet Erin. "Erin, why are you running around? Are you trying to scare Josie Mommy to death?" Erin was running out of breath, with tear stains on her face. She threw herself into Josie''s arms and let out a cry. "Josie Mommy, Erin has met a bad guy." Josie also noticed something was wrong. "Meet a bad guy? What happened? Where is the bad guy?" "Oooh, the bad guy just carried me in there, and it was this little brother who saved me!" Erin pointed to the safe passage and then to the little boy, and told the story of what had just happened in a clear and articte way. Josie listened with rm and looked at the safe passage. There, long ago, there was no more middle-aged woman. She thought the bad guy musy have run away. That woman must be a human trafficker! Josie felt fearful, and her eyes fell again on the little boy who was standing aside without saying a word. White T shirt, jeans. Very ordinary dress. But a small face was delicate as a painting. Josie froze slightly, and a man''s face shed in her mind. This child, at first nce, was like Louis? "Little friend, thank you for saving Erin. What''s your name? Where is your guardian?" The little boy pursed his little mouth and didn''t say anything. He just turned his head and looked at a women''s clothing store not far away. This kid. Why didn''t he say anything? Could it be mute? What a pity if such a beautiful little boy was mute. Josie''s eyes shed with confusion. "Pretty little brother, why don''t you say something? My name is Erin. Here, please eat chocte." Erin took a chocte out of her pocket and put it in the little boy''s hand. The little boy looked at the chocte in his hand and his eyes fell back on Erin''s face. "Thanks." It turned out he can talk. Josie blinked and was about to speak when a woman''s voice came from not far away. "Luka?" Grace came from a short distance away, pulled Luka to her side, and chided, "Why you''re running around?" Was this, the mother of the child? Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Josie looked at Grace and smiled, "Hello, this is your son, right? Don''t scold him. If it wasn''t for him just now, my daughter would have been abducted!" At that time, Grace''s eyes shed with surprise, and her eyes swept over her and then fell on Erin. "So that''s it? This is your daughter? It''s so cute looking." Josie picked up Erin, "Erin, say hello." "Auntie." Erin called out obediently. "My son''s name is Luka Johnson, and he''s not very talkative. Since your daughter is okay, we''ll leave now." Grace smiled faintly. At that moment, her cell phone rang. After looking at the caller ID, she took Luka''s hand and turned around to pick up the phone. "Louis, Luka and I are heading to the children''s counter on the fifth floor now. Do you want toe up?" Louis? Josie listened to their conversation and left with Erin in her arms in a thoughtful manner. A few momentster, Louis''s tall figure appeared on the fifth floor. Finding the counter Grace mentioned. "Louis, you''re just in time. Which of these two outfits is better?" Grace asked with a smile as she held up two suits. "All good. Take them all." Louis scanned it and handed Grace a card. He then looked to Luka. Seeing the little guy looking at himself, he reached out and rubbed his little head. Luka didn''t say anything, but handed him the Rubik''s Cube in his hand. The six sides of the Rubik''s Cube had been put together, and Louis raised an eyebrow, a glint of interest in his eyes. "You know how to y the Rubik''s Cube?" Luka nodded. "Awesome. Let''s go check out the toys and see if there are any you want." Louis picked up the little one and headed towards the toy area. The little one pursed his little mouth, feeling his father''s warm, broad chest. Behind them, Grace watched the two figure. It seemed Louis liked this son a lot. Then for the sake of his son, he should also divorce Violet soon. Her entry into the Johnson Family was just around the corner. Josie went to the manager of the mall with Erin in her arms, told them what had happened, and told them to call the police to deal with it. The mall director took it seriously and yed back the surveince so Erin could identify the suspect. When this was done, Josie took Erin and left the mall. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. When she arrived at the parking lot, she was about to start the car but caught a glimpse of Louis carrying a little boy to the parking lot, followed by Grace. Josie''s hand paused and her eyes widened. They were the mother and son that she just saw? How did Louis end up with them? Three of them looked like a family. Did Louis hide other wife outside!? Josie hurriedly took out her phone and recorded a video. "Josie Mommy, why aren''t you driving. Erin is sleepy." Erin was sitting in a child safety chair, rubbing her eyes and yawning. "Oh okay, go right back." Amazing news! If Louis really cheated on Violet and had a child outside, it was a scumbag act! Josie wrinkled her brow, looked at the trio again, and drove off. Night came. Violet returned to the studio and paled when she heard Josie that her daughter was almost abducted. She put the little one on herp with a serious look on her face. "Erin, what did Mommy tell you? Why are you always running around?" "Oooh, Mommy, Erin was wrong and won''t dare next time." "If you do it again next time, Mommy will be very angry." "Got it." Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Erin''s eyes were filled with tears and she begged for mercy. Violet took her into her arms and looked at her tearful little face. She felt more distressed than anyone else. "Okay, don''t cry. Mommy is scolding you to make you remember this, okay?" As a mother, she felt more terrible than her daughter! "I know, scolding is loving. Mommy loves Erin the most." Erin wrapped her arms around Violet''s neck and said with a milky voice. Violet''s heart was soft and she carried her upstairs to wash up. When she was settled, she saw Josie with her hands on her chest, looking at herself with a serious face. Violet straightened her clothes andughed, "Josie, what''s wrong? Looking so grave?" Josie pulled out her phone and yed the video to her. "Violet, Louis is a scum bag. When you divorce with him, you have to ask him for more money." Violet: "......" Where did this start? Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Violet took the phone and looked at it. The smile on her face faded when she saw what it was. Louis was out there with someone? Even had a child? Looking at the little boy, he should be about the same age as Erin. Did he have a woman before he got married? Then why did he marry her? What the hell was going on here? Her chest was inexplicably a bit stuffy. Violet pursed her lips, suppressing the difort inside. "Is there a misunderstanding here? Is it true that this mother and son are rted to Louis?" "The little boy''s name is Luka, and hisst name is Johnson." Josie looked at Violet, meaning something. Last name was Johnson, and he looked simr to Louis. If she said the little boy and Louis had nothing to do with each other, who believed it? Violet also apparently picked up on Josie''s hint. She watched the video again and was speechless for a moment. Josie came over, "It''s a coincidence that this little boy is also considered Erin''s life saver. If it wasn''t for him, Erin would have been abducted by a human trafficker today. It''s just a pity that he''s the son of your rival." The son of rival! Violet watched the video steadily and pulled at the corners of her mouth. "What is love rival''s son? Louis and I were originally divorced by agreement, and if this mother and son are really rted to him, it has nothing to do with me." They were about to get divorced. Maybe that was why Louis let the mother and son appear in front of the public? "Tch, I didn''t expect Louis to be this kind of man? It''s true that men are no good." Josie mocked lightly and thought of something, "Violet, what if Erin is Louis'' daughter? You and he ......" Should she still get a divorce? "Louis and I are not meant to be together, and no matter who Erin''s real father is, Erin will only live with me from now on." The only illusions left in the heart were gone when she saw the video. It was impossible for her to share a man with a woman. When the gic test report came out, she will have a showdown with Louis! "Violet, don''t go back tonight if it''s like this. Maybe they don''t want you to go back either, maybe he is with his lover and son." Josie patted Violet''s shoulder and said. Violet pursed her lips and hmmed. Pulling out her phone, she sent a message to Louis. "Mr. Johnson, something''s going on tonight. I''m spending the night at Josie''s." At that end, Louis was sitting by Luka''s crib. The little one was sleeping. He softly tucked in the quilt for the little one. The phone beeped with a messageing in, and he got up in a hurry and left the children''s room in stride. Looking at the message from Violet on the phone, Louis'' thin lips pursed, and a trace ofplexity shed in his eyes. Let him think again how to settle her down! "Louis, is Luka asleep?" Grace, wearing a silk nightgown, walked towards him. Slightly transparent fabric madet the woman''s exquisite body indistinct. Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Louis nced at Grace and then averted his eyes. "It''s gettingte. Have some rest early. I''m leaving." "Louis, tonight, why don''t you stay!" Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. The woman hugged him from behind and the faint smell of perfume hit his nose. Louis'' eyebrows instantly wrinkled. His voice didn''t rise as he pulled away from her, "No." There was no hint of desire. On the contrary, there was a hint of revulsion. In her, he could not find d¨¦j¨¤ vu. The man strided away. Grace paled and looked at herself. She was confident of how good her body shape was. The lights showed how sultry she was, and she knew it. But Louis was unmoved? Was he a man? ...... The following day. Violet did not sleep well and came to the base early in the morning. She pped her face and steeled herself. "David, this is the breakfast I had someone buy on purpose. You can have a try." "No, I don''t usually eat breakfast." "How can you do that? It hurts your stomach not to eat breakfast, so eat up." "......" Just as Violet reached the door of the dressing room, she heard Jessie''s delicate voiceing from inside. Violet''s eyes flickered slightly, and the foot that crossed out wanted to retract. She went in so rashly. Did she interrupt someone else''s devotion? "Sister-inw, you''re here!" David saw Violet and greeted her. It was toote for Violet to exit. She nced at Jessie and was met with an unfriendly re. "Morning." Violet looked bashful and simply walked in. Jessie was courting other men. Did her husband Oscar know it? "Sister-inw, have you eaten breakfast yet?" "Yes." Violet smiled and set her makeup tools on the table. "This bun tastes good. Have one." David walked over and stuffed a small bun into Violet''s mouth. Violet was caught off guard when she was stuffed with a bun and could only take a bite. "Thanks." Was David deliberately courting envy for her? She wondered if this breakfast was brought to him specially by Jessie? Look! The way Jessie looked at herself. She wanted to cut off a piece of her own flesh! Violet swore in her heart, but when she met David''s innocent eyes, she could only thank him. "Don''t be polite to me." Davidughed, "You only have the strength to make me look good when you''re full." Violet was speechless, against a burning gaze, swallowed the food in her mouth, only to feel the bun a little choked. She took out her own ss of water and opened it to take a sip. "Jessie, I''ming." A woman''s voice sounded at the door. Violet looked sideways and saw Lucie walking in with her makeup bag. Lucie? Wasn''t she fired by David? Surprise shed in Violet''s eyes when she saw Lucie give her a look and walk quickly up to Jessie. "Coming? I''m counting on you for my makeup today. Put it on well oh." Jessie said. Lucie nodded, "Thank you Jessie for giving me this opportunity." "You''re wee." Jessie hooked her lips and watched David, "David, I forgot to tell you. My make-up artist take off today. I couldn''t find a good make-up artist for a while, so I asked Lucie toe over and help me out. You''re okay with that, right?" Hearing this, David raised his eyes to Lucie and said in a light voice, "Do I look like such a small- minded person?" "Of course not, David is the most generous man I''ve ever met." Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Jessie''s well-timed ass-kissing. David looked pale and did not speak again, but yed the game on his phone. One by one, people came in and Julia came too. Violet said hello to her and set up her makeup tools one by one. She subconsciously turned around and met Lucie''s hostile eyes. Was Lucie hating her for taking her job? Violet pursed her lips and withdrew her eyes. Work was proceeding as usual. Once she had finished applying makeup for Julia and David respectively, she gathered her makeup tools and went to the bathroom. Once she was free, she will think astray. The results of the gic test report will be avable today. Was her daughter rted to Louis or not? Why was she still thinking about this problem? Whether the daughter was rted to Louis or not, she was her own daughter alone! Violet shook off those tumultuous thoughts and went out of the bathroom. Back in the dressing room, there was no one else inside except Lucie. Violet ignored Lucie''s unfriendly look and sat down to wait for Julia and David toe back to fix their makeup. It didn''t take long for David to return wet. Followed by Jessie who inquired after David''s health. Violet got up. David had just shot a scene in the rain, so he was drenched. His makeup had to be refinished as well. Violet opened her makeup box and got ready. Her long, slender fingers swept through the rows of make-up tools, and when she was about to pick up a bottle of moisturizer, her fingers paused slightly. She has OCD at work. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Each item must be put in a very neat manner. For example, the side of a cosmetic product with thebel must face outward. so that she can see it at a nce. Now, the moisturizer''sbel was facing inward. What did this mean? Did she not pay attention when she ced it before? Unlikely. Because of long years of habit, even if she had something on her mind, she will ce items ording to her idea. So, someone had touched her makeup bag! The thought shed quickly through her mind. Without moving, she picked up the bottle of moisturizer and opened it to check its contents. The moisturizer was a big brand that she specially prepared for David, so it had only just been opened. The inside of this bottle looked simr to the previous one. Can''t see anything wrong with it. Violet pretended to see Lucie, who was not far away, and watched her looking straight in her direction. Having a eye contact, she averted in a hurry. Was this, a sign of guilty conscience? Violet''s eyes flickered, and her eyes moved back to Jessie, who was fixing her hair, thoughtfully. At that moment, David changed his clothes and came out. Violet looked back at David''s clean face and put the moisturizer back in her hand. "David, did not sleep well yesterday? Your face is a little bad! How about I help you change your moisturizer for the primer." The moisturizer on her hands definitely won''t work. Someone tried to set her up by making Davie''s face allergic? What a bore! Who was so boring? Lucie? She was just a makeup artist. Did she really have the guts to do that? Or, did someone instruct her? Violet''s mind wandered and she took her own moisturizer out of her bag and began to skillfully apply David''s makeup. "Did I look really bad after ying the gamest night?" David closed his eyes and felt the movement of Violet''s fingertips on his face. "A little bit." Violet was silent and whispered in his ear in words only two people could hear. "David, someone is trying to hurt me. Can you do me a favor?" Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Hearing Violet''s words, Dacid opened his eyes and wanted to say something. Violet gave him a hurried wink to take it easy. David raised an eyebrow and asked in a low voice, "Say, what''s going on? Who''s trying to hurt you?" "Your admirer." His admirer? David frowned. Violet blinked, "David, don''t make any facial expressions, it doesn''t go well with the makeup." David: "......" Violet curled her lips and continued, "David, the moisturizer I prepared for you has been swapped. Can you think of a way to swap your moisturizer with Jessie''s without any trace?" She just scanned the table and noticed that Jessie had the exact same bottle of moisturizer on her desk. And this branded moisturizer, because of its high price, was really only affordable for big-name entertainers. This led her to suspect that Jessie had instructed Lucie to do it. The purpose was to trap her. After all, she sshed Jessie yesterday, and David was close to herself. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. In the morning, David offered her favours at the expense of Jessie and fed her buns. Jessie was already a scheming bitch, in order to let her make mistakes, it was absolutely possible that Jessie would use this trick. "Are you saying that Jessie is the one who wants to hurt you?" David asked in surprise. Violet nodded her head, her hands not stopping to apply makeup. David''s eyes moved slightly and asked with interest, "Why should I help you?" "By helping me, you are also helping yourself." Violet finished thest process and whispered, "I''m teaching the person who covets you a lesson for you. Do you want people to spread the words that you''re hooking up with a married woman?" This actually let him can not refute. David said, "Okay, I''ll help you. No, it should be I''ll help myself." "Thanks David." Violetughed softly and winked toward David. David coughed lightly, righted himself, and hid the moisturizer Violet had surreptitiously handed him in his pocket. Then he turned and strutted toward Jessie''s makeup table. Over there, Jessie had just finished applying her makeup as well. She looked at David, who had suddenlye over, and there was a sh of light in her eyes. "David, what''s wrong?" David leaned over the edge of the table and leaned slightly closer to Jessie. "Jessie, I don''t think your makeupys down evenly today. And the tips of your eyebrows too picky and look a bit fierce. And the foundation, is it a different shade? It''s too white and not very natural, and it covers up your original beauty." The man''s eyebrows were breathtakingly attractive. Jessie stared at David nkly, surprised and delighted. "David ......" Was he actually paying so much attention to herself? So did he have a crush on her too!? "Lucie,e here." David slightly straightened his body and looked at Lucie, "I''m not deliberately nitpicking, just that I strive for perfection. Did you take note of what I just said? Help Jessie take off her makeup and put it back on." Lucie was still dazed. Jessie hurriedly said, "Lucie, what are you still doing? Hurry up!" David was so concerned about her make-up, she must keep a perfect image in his mind! "Oh, good." Lucie rushed over and started to remove Jessie''s makeup. David took the opportunity to switch out the moisturizer. Violet watched the scene with the corner of her eye and couldn''t help but give David a thumbs up in her heart. The beautiful man scheme. Perfect! "Here." David handed Violet the moisturizer he had changed back, "How about that? I''m awesome!" Violetughed lightly, "Of course, it''s great to see David''s charms again, thanks!" David looked at her askance and sat down on the make-up chair. "I''m just congenial with you. There''s a small party tonight, go over and have some fun." Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Small party? Violet shook her head, "Sorry, I won''t go." In the evening she just wanted to spend more time with her daughter. "How can you not go? The peopleing tonight are all celebrities in the circle and you don''t want to expand your beauty business?" David said disgruntled, "Not everyone can get into this party." Looking at David''s unsuspecting face, Violet''s heart was somewhat touched. "Okay, I''ll go." She never thought David would be such a warm-hearted person in private. She became his fan! "Well, that''s right." Davidughed, secretly thinking that he would have an excuse to get Louis to attendter! Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. At that moment, the sound of a woman''s scream came from the side. "Hiss, my face hurts." This was Jessie''s voice. Violet and David looked at each other and turned their heads toward her. At this moment, Jessie looked at herself in the mirror and her face changed for a while. Her cheeks flushed quickly and vaguely sprouted red bumps. What was going on? Did she have skin allergies? "Jessie, your face, allergy!" Lucie''s face was stunned and a sh of panic passed through her eyes. Lucie subconsciously watched Violet, like in the identification of something. Her behavior was like a clumsy denial resulting in self-exposure. Violet raised her eyebrows slightly and watched her without moving. "Allergies, how did my face get allergic! Could it be ......" Jessie just felt a hot pain on her face, and her eyes fell on the moisturizer on the table. She grabbed it and unscrewed the cap. Had this bottle of moisturizer been changed? Something shed in her mind and she watched Violet, pointing at her and screaming, "Helena, did you do this!?" It must be her! She must have had the moisturizer switched over! And the person who switched it, could be David! When she thought that just now she was making a fool of herself with David, Jessie was in a state of shame and anger. "Jessie, you mean I''m responsible for your skin allergies? How did I do it? Did I change your moisturizer so that you would have skin allergies? I''m not that boring!" Violet meant something. Seeing Jessie''s look of anger and frustration, she was sure she was right. The moisturizer was the one she had switched. "You ......" Jessie''s face twisted for a moment, so angry. Violet kindly reminded, "Jessie, I advise you to go to the hospital first, before your face is scarred." Jessie just went for wool and came home shorn. Jessie screamed and pushed Lucie away, covering her face in indignation. Lucie''s face pale as she nced at Violet. Her eyes shed as she walked quickly out of the dressing room. Violet finished organizing her makeup bag and spoke to David, "David, I''m going to the bathroom." "Okay." David had finished watching a good show and was messaging with Louis. "Louis, my sister-inw is so valiant. She took care of the people who tried to set her up. I''ve invited her to the party tonight, soe along and listen to me how easily she solved the situation." The other side. Louis was sitting in his chair with a test report in his hand. He and Luka''s gic test report came out and confirmed their paternity. His line of sight rest on the message from David, and his deep eyes were as dark and deep as sea. Violet, would she like to be Luka''s mother? Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Restroom. Violet stopped Lucie. "Lucie, you were the one who blew the whistle on me seducing Davidst time, weren''t you?" Violet''s bluntness startled Lucie, and her eyes shed. "Helena, I didn''t do it. Don''t venomously nder me?" Violet curled her lips, "Not only thest revtion, today David''s moisturizer was switched. It was also your doing, right?" Lucie''s face was a little pale. She didn''t dare to look at Violet''s clear eyes and denied all: "Helena, don''t talk nonsense if you have no evidence." She did it very carefully, and no surveince was installed in the dressing room. Violet certainly could not find evidence. "I am without proof and I have no intention of doing anything to you." Violet looked at Lucie, "It''s just that God is watching your every move, and when you do more bad things, you always get what''sing to you. lucie, we''re all in the same circle. Don''t be taken advantage." Lucie''s make-up skill was not bad, and Violet really didn''t want her to go down the wrong path. Violet finished and didn''t linger any longer, crossing over to her and preparing to leave. Lucie''s chest heaved as she watched her slim back.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. "Helena, who are you to tell me what to do? You''re the one who stole my job, so I deserve to be bullied by you?" Hearing this, Violet''s footsteps lurched. She didn''t turn around, but said in a light voice, "Lucie, if I were you, I would hone my skill so that no one else could take my job away." The woman''s voice was light, but with a hint of arrogance. Obviously she was very slim, but like containing a huge power, so that people can not ignore. Lucie''s hands hanging at her sides tugged, and something shed in her eyes. She didn''t want to admit it, but had to... Violet was impressive! ...... Hospital. Josie got the report and couldn''t wait to open it and read it. Her eyes fell on thest row of data, and her fingers suddenly tugged tight. So she took it for granted! Erin and Louis were not rted! Josie put the test result in the envelope and wasn''t sure if she was more disappointed or relieved. This was good that her bosom friend will not have to care about Louis and his rtionship with that mother and son. Anyway, this marriage should end in a definite divorce. Josie left with her high heels. At the corner, Jasmine looked steadily at the other sheet in her hand, violently shredded it and threw it into the trash can. She had fake test sheets forged one step ahead of time and handed it over to Josie. She really didn''t expect that the daughter beside Josie was actually Louis''! Louis had a daughter and a son at once. Jasmine pulled out her phone and looked at the photos her men had sent her, pondering. The photo showed a pair of little people together. This was shot by her people at the mall yesterday. One was the boy next to Grace and the other was the girl next to Josie. The two little kids standing together. They looked surprisingly simr. It was like a twin. A twin! Jasmine''s eyes rolled and something shed through her mind. Louis usually preserved hiss moral integrity, except for four years ago being set up by Nina, and then there were no rumors or any scandals. Was it true that he was having an affair with both women? And for Grace who came out of nowhere, she had someone do a quick check and always felt something was wrong. Four years ago Gracec was pregnant with a child and the hospital where she was due to give birth was in a small town. And her aunt just happened to be the head nurse at this hospital. When she had the baby, she and her aunt left the country. It was too mysterious! This woman seemed to be moreplicated than Violet! Will there be a possibility of ...... No, she had to go and meet this Grace! Jasmine drove straight to the fancy apartment building located in a busy area. Chapter 75 Chapter 75 In the apartment. Luka was taking a nap, and Grace was sitting on the couch, bored with her phone. When she received a call from the management saying that Jasmine was looking for her, she was faintly stupefied. "Who did you say was looking for me?" "Miss Harper? I''m Jasmine, Louis'' sister." Jasmine''s cold, arrogant voice came over the phone. Grace subconsciously sat up straight. Her eyes shed, "Miss Johnson, looking for me for something?" T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. How did Louis'' half-sister find her? "Yes! Can you invite me upstairs for a cup of coffee?" The security in this high-ss apartment building was really strict. Strangers were not allowed in yet. Louis let them live here, which showed how much he valued them! Jasmine grunted inwardly. "Okay, I''ll have the manager let you up." Grace hung up the phone and sent a quick message out. "Louis'' sister came looking for me." "Oh? Let''s hear what she''ll say." The other party quickly sent a message over. Grace replied with "Okay" and got up to make coffee. It didn''t take long for the doorbell to ring. Grace walked to the door and looked at the cat''s eye and opened it. "Are you Miss Johnson?" Jasmine looked Grace up and down and nodded her head. "Miss Harper, won''t you invite me in for a seat?" This woman looked in. At first nce, her face was a bit simr to Violet. But the eyes were not as agile as Violet''s. Her temperament was at best innocent. "Please." Grace made a gesture of invitation. Jasmine entered, looked around, and let out another mental grunt. The house looked very high ss. "Miss Johnson, please have coffee." Grace put the coffee on the coffee table and gestured for Jasmine to sit. Jasmine sat down and took a sip of her coffee. "Nice coffee!" "Thank you for thepliment." Grace sat across from her and smiled lightly, "I used to do it in a hotel and learned a little from the barista." Jasmine looked at her carefully and suddenly said, "Miss Harper, I heard that you gave birth to a son for my brother? Did you really give birth to that child?" The sudden question caused the smile on Grace''s face to lurch and her eyes to flicker. She looked to Jasmine, "Miss Johnson, what do you mean?" "Meaning, you''re lying to my brother! That child isn''t even your own, right?" Jasmine didn''t avert her nce and snapped. The smile on Grace''s face died down, "Miss Johnson, are you here to cause trouble? Sorry, you are not wee here, please get out." "Yo, still pretending!" Jasmine pulled out her phone, "Or I''ll call my brother and remind him to do the gic testing for you and the baby?" "You ......" Grace''s eyes shed with a hint of annoyance and she stared at Jasmine, unable to speak. Jasmine smiled smugly and put the phone down. "Grace, rx, I didn''te here today to tear you down. Tell me, whose kid is that anyway?" She really admired herself too much. It was just a swindle, and she can get the information she wanted. Grace was not the child''s real mother at all, so who was the child''s real mother, anyway? Grace''s facial expression was hard to read, and her eyes were slightly downcast, not knowing what she was thinking. Jasmine saw that she wasn''t paying attention to her and tried again, "Grace, you don''t have to tell me yourself. What I say a name and if I''m right, you nod your head." Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Grace raised her eyes and looked at Jasmine without saying a word. Jasmine paused and said a name, "Violet?" Grace''s eyes flickered as she met Jasmine''s gaze, dropping her eyes sheepishly. Half-heartedly, she nodded. It really was what she thought! Violet, that bitch, was actually pregnant with a twin back then! Jasmine was all exuberant. "Then how did this boye to be with you?" She remembered that Grace''s profile showed that she had also worked part-time at the Pce Hotel. So, it was her secret n to carry Violet''s son? Grace''s eyes were slightly downcast and silent, like she was stunned. Jasmine snorted lightly when she saw this look on her face, "Forget it, I''m not interested in knowing about you either." She just needed to know that the son''s mother was Violet. "Listen, I can pretend not to know about this matter, but in the future you have to listen to me. As long as you obey me, I will let you never be worried about making a living, and be the envy of everyone. Otherwise, I will tell the truth and see how Louis will punish you!" This woman took Violet''s son, surely she wanted to marry Louis and be the wife of a rich family. She couldn''t wait to see Louis and Violet''s jokes. To watch how they both got fooled! Jasmine left after the warning. Grace closed the door, and the timid look on her face faded. She hurriedly took out her phone and sent a message out. "Jasmine knows about the kid!" She knew the character list of the Johnson Family by heart. Knowing that Jasmine and Louis did not get along, she was not worried that Jasmine will tell Louis the truth about what happened. She just wondered how Jasmine would know about it. "What did she say?" The other party quickly replied a message over. "She said she would keep her mouth shut, provided I listened to her." "Got it. I''ll take care of it." Grace''s mouth slightly hooked, and put away the phone. She inadvertently nced, but saw the second floor stairway, and a small figure was standing there. Luka was awake! Grace was startled and walked quickly upstairs. "Luka, why are you awake? When did you wake up? Did you hear anything?" Luka looked at Grace with big eyes, as silent as ever. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Grace was anxious, holding the little one''s shoulders tightly. "I asked you a question! Did you hear anything? Say something!" Luka''s small brow furrowed as he looked at Grace''s cold face and slowly shook his head. Didn''t hear anything! That was good! Grace''s tense nerves were slightly relieved. "Well, did you get up to go to the bathroom? Let''s go, mommy will go with you." This little guy was her yellow card. She still had to rely on him to get close to Louis. No mistakes! Luka didn''t say anything, with just a sh of doubt in his dark eyes. He woke up because he wanted to peep and got up to the sound of their voices. It was just that he just woke up and was confused and didn''t hear their conversation clearly. Vaguely heard "Violet" ...... The strange aunt who came through the door didn''t look very nice, so who was she? ...... Violet received Josie''s message, and her hand tugged unconsciously at her phone. The daughter was not Louis''! They were the ones who thought too much! An unknown emotion crossed her heart and she let out a long breath, relief shing in her eyes. This was the best result. Chapter 77 Chapter 77 She left with no worries. "Sister-inw, let''s go." David called it a day and gestured for Violet to follow him. Violet pulled herself together, grabbed her belongings and followed. Premium Clubhouse. At this time, there were already gathered a number of elite people from all walks of life. Violet looked at the men and women in fancy clothes and blushed a little. She was still wearing a in white shirt and ck pants. She didn''t look like she wasing to a party. Rather like a waitress here. A little out of trend. "Sister-inw,e with me, I''ll introduce you to a few people." David looked at his watch and saw that Louis hadn''t arrived yet, so he took Violet to meet the guests. "Stanley, it''s been a long time." David stood in front of several middle-aged men and greeted one of them with a smile. "It''s David." Stanley Murray raised his hand to David. "Let me introduce, this is Stanley Murray, the general director of the televison station. this is Violet, the famous make-up artist." David introduced them to each other, "Sister-inw, Stanley is a great guy. He directed the recent hit TV show called Go! Go! Brothers!" Violet knew about that show and was instantly in awe. "Hello Stanley, I''ve heard a lot about you." Stanley gave a slight nod and looked Violet up and down. "Violet? That name sounds a little familiar." "Stanley, she''s Louis'' wife, and also Helena, the makeup artist who was in the news a while ago and made the ugly makeup look amazing." said a producer on the side. Stanley thought about it and then it dawned on him. "So you are Mr. Johnson''s ugly wife Violet that everyone is talking about?" Louis'' ugly wife! She really had a reputation. Violet was a little ufortable, with a slight smile momentarily to cover her speechlessness. Davidughed, "Stanley, she is also a capable person. I heard that you are going to direct Sunlite Model Contest soon, why don''t you let her be the makeup director of this show?" A word that caused a light to sh in Violet''s eyes. Makeup director for the model contest! If she could really take this business, it would be a quantum leap for her make-up career! "This ......" Stanley looked at Violet with some hesitation. "Stanley, are you not trusting my eyes? Can my referral be wrong?" David took his ss and clinked it with Stanley. Stanleyughed, "I''ll consider your offer if you can save a slot for me to be a special guest in the modeling contest." "No problem!" David took a ss of wine from a passing waiter and handed it to Violet. "Sister-inw, why don''t you toast a few people?" Violet was still in a confused state when she didn''t expect David to give her a chance in a few words. She rushed to toast Stanley, "Stanley, here''s a toast to you." After a ss of wine, she took another ss handed to her by David and toasted several middle-aged men standing to one side. When she poured two sses of wine in a row and wanted to make a third toast, the ss in her hand was jerked away. A tightening around her waist and she was pulled into an embrace. Violet looked sideways, and saw Louise in. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. The neat ck suit wrapped around his long body, and his cold eyebrows in the light became more handsome. "Louis, you''re finally here." David saw Louis arriving and greeted him with a smile. Louis nced at him, and his face was a little cold. The smile on David''s face froze. Something shed through his mind, and a little chill ran down his spine. Was he ming himself for just letting Violet drink? "Stanley, Kyle, my wife can''t drink too much, so I''ll drink this one for my wife." Louis and the few people present nodded slightly and drained their sses of wine. Chapter 78 Chapter 78 "Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson are so in love." Stanleyplimented. "Isn''t it? Now the people of Crotosi City are talking about their marriage. Men envy Mr. Johnson for marrying a fun and beautiful wife, and women envy Mrs. Johnson for marrying a rich and handsome husband. No, our family gives me a hard time every day, saying I don''t know how to have fun." "Yes, I heard that Mr. Johnson never attends such small parties, so he must be apanying Mrs. Johnson today, right?" Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Hearing theplimentary words of several people, Louis took the ss of wine handed over by the waiter and hooked his lips in a smile. "I''m counting on you all to take care of my wife''s business." The man''s maic voice carried a hint of doting and was full of love. The crowdughed and said sure. Violet just felt the heat on her face. She didn''t know if it was because of the wine or something else. "Mr. Johnson, just now we were talking about the Sunlite Model Contest some time ago, I wonder if Mr. Johnson has any intention to sponsor it?" Stanley spoke up at the right time, meaning something. "Oh? A modeling contest?" Louis raised an eyebrow, and Stanley hurriedly said: "Yes, David proposed to let Mrs. Johnson be the makeup director of the modeling contest. I am considering it, if Mr. Johnson is willing to sponsor it ......" Thetter words did not need to be said. They all understood. As long as Louis sponsored the show, then Violet''s makeup director will absolutely implement it. "Yes, my wife''s career, a husband always has to support." Louis gave a slight nod and agreed without a second thought. "Then it''s a deal!" Stanley was happy and toasted Louis with a ss of wine. "Mr. Johnson is disying affection in public." "Isn''t that right? The two of you are so affectionate." "......" A few people on the side againplimented. Violet had mixed feelings. What was Louis doing here? With that mother and son showing up, shouldn''t he keep his distance from her now and wait until the right time to announce their divorce? Why did he still showed his love in front of outsiders? Was it to give her a littlepensation before the divorce? Then she was quite honored. Violet smiled to herself and pulled away from his hand without a trace. "Excuse me guys, enjoy your conversation. I''m going to the bathroom." She turned and walked away. Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly, clearly sensing Violet''s coldness. He took a big order for her and this was her attitude? "As expected of Louis, it''s a big deal right out of the gate." David quipped doggedly at the side. Louis nced at him and walked in Austin''s direction without saying a word. David: "......" Louis was mad at him! He had to go exin! In the bathroom, Violet washed her hands at the sink after used the toilet. The sound of high heels rang out as Nina walked up to her. "Violet, I heard that Louis is going to sponsor the Sunlite Model Contest in order to get you business. You''re very proud of that, aren''t you?" The news spread so quickly that Violet turned the tap off without making a sound. "Violet, the higher you climb, the quiker you fall and the more it hurts, and soon you''ll be knocked back down." Nina lifted her chin high and looked at her with pitying eyes, "Actually, you''re a poor person too, but I won''t pity you because you has him." Nina finished and left, and the tissue Violet was wiping her hands on was suddenly crumpled into a ball. She was going to be beaten back soon because Louis was about to divorce with her, and because of that mother and son out there, right? So, Louis'' friends were aware of this mother and son. But it was hidden from her! This feeling of being deceived was really bad! She had owned Louis? Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Did it mean physical possession? Was it really fun to own like that? Violet''s chest was a little tight. She let out a deep breath, intending to find a corner to stay a little longer and then go back. Secluded corner. "Louis, are you angry with me? Angry that I let my sister-inw socialize and drink? It''s not that you haven''t been here and I''m introducing business to her?" David saw Louis''s cold face and hurriedly exined. Louis poured down a mouthful of wine and said coldly, "I told you to stay away from her. She''s my wife. I have my own arrangements. What kind of good guy do I need you to be?" "This ......" David choked, feeling a bit wronged. He just felt that Violet gave him a friendly feeling and wanted to help her out. It didn''t mean anything else! "Well, Louis, David is our friend. What bad intentions can he have? Besides, for a woman who''s about to get divorced, do you have to be like that?" Austin was exining. Louis'' knife-eyed eyes swept over coldly, full of chill. Austinughed lightly and poured him a drink, "Louis, you''re too jealous, and you say you don''t like her?" At these words, Louis knitted his sword brows and said in a deep voice: "I repeat, I don''t like her and married her because I had no choice. But I will not divorce because Grandma likes her." This was the result of his thinking over the past two days. He will not divorce her! Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. "No divorce? What about Grace and the kid?" Austin raised an inquiring eyebrow. "The child, I will let him stay at my family, as for Grace ......" Louis paused, frowning slightly, like he was thinking about something. Behind the pir, Violet, who wanted to clear her mind, heard the conversation of several people. Fingers curled involuntarily. Her red lips tightened and she walked away quickly. What Louis said shed repeatedly in her mind. He didn''t like her, but won''t divorce her! What was this? He wanted a wife at home and a mistress outside at the same time? Scum! She was wrong about him! Violet left the clubhouse, looked at the night sky overhead, took a deep breath and suppressed the depression inside. Pulling out her phone, she sent a message to Louis. "Mr. Johnson, I have some business and I''ll wait for you at the vi." She was going to have a showdown with him. She wanted a divorce! At the other end, Louis received her message, and a trace of surprise shed in his eyes. She went back first? Was she going back to thank him for getting her a big order? Thinking about it, Louis'' eyebrows shed a smile. "I''ll go first." "Just go away?" Austin and David were both stunned. "Violet is waiting for me at the vi." Louis returned the favor and took off in stride. ...... Balridge Manor. Jasmine closed the door of room, and it was hard to hide her excitement. Rosalie pulled her over with some urgency. "Jasmine, is it true what you told me on the phone? That the baby next to Grace is really Violet and Louis'' son? Four years ago, Violet gave birth to twin? One was carried away by Grace and the other was credited to Josie?" "Yes, Mom, it''s true!" Jasmine nodded her head repeatedly, "This is going to be great. Violet and Louis are in the dark. I''m excited to think about it!" Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Rosalie wasn''t that excited to hear Jasmine''s words. "Have you checked out that Grace yet? What''s her deal and why did she take Violet''s baby?" Louis actually had a daughter and son! Having the kids meant he was more secure in his seat at the helm of the Johnson Group. That was not a good sign. And that Grace, how dared she steal the child. This was not a good thing either. "Grace''s profile looks pretty generic, nothing useful." Jasmine gave a brief message about Grace. "She must want to take Mrs. Johnson''s seat by taking Violet''s baby. Mom, instead of letting Violet take Mrs. Johnson''s ce, we should let Grace into the Johnson Family. We know her vulnerability and she must listen to us." That was true. Rosalie smiled coldly, and her eyes were full of schemings. "This time, I''ll definitely pull Louis off the stage!" "Mom, what should we do?" "You do this ......" ...... Lyonhall Vi. As soon as Louis entered his home, he smelled the aroma of food all over the house. "Young master, you''re back. Mrs. Johnson is cooking something for you." Lucy took Louis'' briefcase with a smile on her old face. Louis raised his sword eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curved into an arc ofughter. She had a conscience and knew how to please him. In the kitchen, Violet served up the side dishes to go with the noodles, and turned around to see Louis enter the dining room. She pursed her lips and brought out the noodles and small dishes. "Mr. Johnson, please." This was probably thest time she cooked dinner for him. Louis was indeed hungry. Smelling the aroma of the food, he picked up his chopsticks and ate gracefully. Violet made two bowls of noodles and she sat across from him and ate in silence. There was silence all around, and only the slightest rumble as the two ate their noodles. Louis ate most of them, looking at Violet silent look, keen to feel that she was not right. He put down his chopsticks and drew out a paper towel to wipe his mouth. "Something?" What was wrong? He didn''t feel her happiness at all. Violet gave a lurch, then put down her chopsticks. Pulled out her phone, tapped on a video, and slowly showed Louis. "Mr. Johnson, please exin, who are they, mother and son?" The video was the one Josie took in the parking lot. Louis took a look and his eyebrows instantly wrinkled. "Violet, you followed me?" The man''s eyes were sharp with a hint of sullen anger. Violet also did not exin the source of the video, but simply looked at him steadily. Louis suppressed his inner anger and finally knew why Violet was so abnormal today. "Since you already knew, I won''t hide it from you anymore." He had nned to talk to her sometime. He just didn''t think she would know in advance! "This woman''s name is Grace, the woman I slept with by mistake four years ago. I''ve been looking for her over the four years and just found her a few days ago. The boy is our child." Louis gave a brief summary. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Violet''s fingers curled up, and after a long time, she spoke, "So that''s how it is. Now that you''ve found her, let''s get a divorce." No wonder he told the old Mrs. Johnson that Mrs. Johnson had a more suitable candidate. She thought he was referring to Grace. Now that he''d found someone, it was time for her to step aside. "No, I will not divorce you." Louis'' eyes sank, "Grandma''s health is not good. We can''t stimte her." Not divorce her? Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Violet only found it amusing, "Mr. Johnson, if you don''t divorce me, then how are you going to settle that mother and son?" Did he really want to have two women at the same time? "Luka, I will let him stay at the family." Louis looked at Violet and said, "Violet, you will be his mother." Asked her to be the mother of the child! This was to make her a stepmother! Violet''s eyes widened with some incredulity. "Mr. Johnson, you''re kidding me, right?" "Do I look like I''m joking with you?" Louis asked a rhetorical question, and his eyes were deep and full of solemnity. Violet''s fingers curled tightly and she looked at him steadily. After a long time, she took a deep breath, "Mr. Johnson, I do not agree! Childcan''t grow up without their biological parents. You should know this point. Don''t you think it''s cruel for you to separate them like this?" She wondered why Louis had made such a decision. Maybe it was because of the old Mrs. Johnson. But she was not willing to get involved in this mess. She had a daughter of her own and she just wanted to get it over with and got her life back to peace. Louis'' face didn''t look too good. He looked at Violet, "Violet, did I misjudge you? If I make you Luka''s mother, will you be just as harsh to Luka as my stepmother and be vicious?" No! He was certain that Violet was not such a woman! That was why he had the final decision! He will give Grace a sum of money so that she would have nothing to worry about. But Luka, it was up to Violet to raise him! Violet: "......" Of course she was not a wicked stepmother! But she didn''t want to be the stepmother either! She didn''t want to see other people''s children separated from their biological mothers. Violet moved her lips, "Mr. Johnson, we were supposed to be married by agreement, and now that the deadline is up. I''m asking for a divorce." The woman''s face was so determined that Louis''s breath around him sank violently. "Violet, it''s up to me to decide whether to divorce or not. If you insist on your own opinion, don''t me me for not showing mercy. I can spoil you or send you to hell in a second! I''ll decide whether you married into the Johnson Family as an ugly woman or not!" Insensitive woman! How many people wanted to be Louis'' woman? But she just wanted to clear the line with him! Did she not have any love for him? Hurt his pride! Louis pushed back his chair as soon as he could, and turned with a sullen face to stride away. Violet clenched her fists, and her red lips pursed. This domineering man, how can he be so autocratic! She wanted a divorce! ...... The following day. Violet was up almost all night, full of thoughts of the divorce. Looking at her dark circles in the mirror, she spit out the toothpaste in her mouth and scratched her hair in annoyance. If Louis never divorced herself, would she be stuck here for the rest of her life? The sound of a cell phone beeped aside. The major news tforms were pushing a news. Violet nced sideways and hastily picked up her phone when she saw the headline on the screen. "Shocker: Louis, president of the Johnson Group, forced a woman to have sex with him four years ago and caused her to give birth to an heir ......" The news was being pushed on all major tforms. A reporter had located Grace and was broadcasting in real time. In the camera, a woman holding a child, avoided the reporter''s camera with helpless face. How did this happen!? Who leaked the news!? Violet couldn''t think of anything else and quickly went out of the bathroom and straight to Louis'' bedroom.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 82 Chapter 82 "Mr. Johnson, open the door. Something big is happening!" Violet rapped on the bedroom door with an anxious look on her face. "Forced a woman to have sex" was too sensitive a statement! If Louis can''t exin himself, he''ll not only lose face with the Johnson Family, but he''ll probably get arrested! "What''s all the yelling about this early in the morning?" A man''s low voice came from behind him. Violet, who was about to unscrew the door handle, stopped moving and turned around to see Louis Dressed in gray sportswear, hair a little wet, face still sunken. He should be just back from sports. Violet couldn''t think of anything else and walked towards him at a quick pace. "Mr. Johnson, look, you''re in trouble." Louis nced at her and his eyes fell on her phone. When he saw the news above, his face was astonished. How could someone be blocking Grace''s way early in the morning? Louis tosses her phone to Violet and strode into the bedroom. Harry was then called immediately and told to get on with it. Watching Louis change quickly, Violet turned her back in a hurry, "You''re going out now, aren''t you? I''ll go with you." For Louis, it was a scandal. She was still Louis'' wife, and she can''t avoid it even if she wanted to. It must be faced with him. Louis gave her a look, didn''t make a sound, and strode out the door. Violet rushed to follow. The other side. Outside the upscale neighborhood. Grace wrapped Luka in her arms and kept dodging the camera, trying to get away. Only the reporters surrounded her so that she could not move. "Miss Harper, may I ask if this child is Louis''?" "Miss Harper, don''t be afraid. Please tell everyone, four years ago, was it Louis who forcibly had sex with you against your will?" "Miss Harper, we''re in a legal society now. Even if the Johnson Family is more powerful, as long as you turn to our media, we will bring you to justice." "......" The reporters'' camares were aimed at Grace, aggressive with a hint of baiting. Grace held Luka tightly with one arm and covered the shing lights with the other. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. The slightly lowered eyes shed with a dark awning, but the face still showed iparable panic. "Make way, you guys. Make way. Don''t shoot." Last night Jasmine sent her a message to take Luka out of the neighborhood early in the morning. Jasmine said there would be reporters interviewing her and asked her to behave and answer yes to the reporter''s questions. It turned out that she wanted her to charge Louis with being a rapist! "Miss Harper, you still haven''t answered us. Is this child Louis'' son or not?" A reporter continued to ask. Grace pretended to be at a loss for words, nced at him and nodded slightly. "She admitted it!" The reporters were all excited and clicking. "So Miss Harper, let me ask you again, four years ago, was it Louis who forced you to do this?" The journalists took the opportunity to bait. Grace''s eyes shed and she pretended to shrink her shoulders in panic. With a slight force on her hands, shewrapped her arms around Luka who was holding her thighs. Luka''s little mouth was pursed, her little brow furrowed, and he was a little out of breath surrounded by adults. He broke Grace''s grip and pushed another reporter away with force, then got out of the way. "Luka!" Grace eximed and watched as Luka rushed out of the crowd. Not far away a car sped by, Luka scurried to the middle of the road and froze looking at the approaching car ...... "Watch out." On the side of the road, Violet rushed out of Louis'' newly parked car, and in the nick of time, yanked Luka into her arms. Her slender form swayed and she fell to the ground uncontrobly. But her hands were deadly around Luka, letting him fall on top of her. Chapter 83 Chapter 83 "Violet!" Louis'' handsome face sank as he strode toward her, picking her and Luka up as soon as he could. "Is there something wrong?" "I''m fine." Violet shook her head, her eyes fell on Luka and said with concern, "Cutie, how are you? Did you hurt anywhere?" Luka pursed his little red lips and looked at Violet steadily, without saying a word. This beautiful aunt saved him! Inexplicably, he felt close! Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. "Luka, tell Daddy, does anywhere on your body hurt?" Louis picked up Luka and looked him up and down. Luka remained silent, but shook her head. Louis'' tense nerves rxed a little. Louis'' eyes slowly cast aside to Violet, dark eyes with deep gaze. That scene was so thrilling that if it wasn''t for Violet, Luka would probably have been injured. She was a warm-hearted woman. So, he must have made the right decision! Violet slowly stood up straight, heard Louis say the word of "daddy" and reacted slowly. This delicate looking little boy was Louis''s son Luka! Pain suddenly came to her arm, and she looked down to find that she had scraped the skin on her arm. Her chest was inexplicably a bit stuffy. She didn''t know if it was because the skin on her arm was scraped or for some other reason. "Look, Mr. Johnson is here!" "Luka!" "......" The reporters and Grace ran over when they saw the leading role arrive. At the same time, Harry arrived with his men. Louis'' face was sullen and cold, and the aura around him was appalling. He handed the child to Harry, his sharp eyes sweeping around. "You all show up here early in the morning, if something happens to my son, you''d better figure it out if you''re able to bear the responsibility!" The deep, cold tone carried a strong warning, causing several reporters to nce at each other and cower a bit. Louis was the current head of the Johnson Family, even though he had just returned to the country. They were small journalists. How can theypete with him? But ...... "Mr. Johnson, we have received revtions that you forced a woman to have sex with you and she gave birth to an heir four years ago. Now that she has confessed, do you have anything to say?" A reporter suddenly spoke up and pointed the finger at Louis. Louis nced at him and his eyes fell on the press card on his chest. He remembered that the editor-in-chief of this news agency and his stepmother were quite close! So, today''s revtion, most likely from the hand of the stepmother again? "Really, Grace, is that what you told the press?" Louis looked over at Grace, his eyes full of creepy chill. Don''t tell him that this Grace was in league with his stepmother! Her sudden appearance was her stepmother''s way of dealing with him! Grace''s face was flustered as she met the crowd''s eyes and shook her head repeatedly. "No, I didn''t say that. I just admitted that the baby was yours." After a pause, she plucked up the courage to look at the reporters, "I was the one who took the wrong room back then. I took the initiative, Louis didn''t force me!" Once these words came out, several reporters looked at each other again. This woman didn''t cooperate! Too bad Louis won''t be branded a rapist! But ...... Louis nced at Grace, his sharp eyes slightly narrowed. It seemed that he was thinking out of the box. She wasn''t sent by his stepmother. "Mr. Johnson, it seems that we have misheard. But even so, we still have questions." The reporter continued. Chapter 84 Chapter 84 "What''s the query?" Louis looked to the reporter and asked in a cold voice. "Mr. Johnson, this is your wife beside you, right? Are you keeping a mistress in a love nest? Is this the kind of behavior you should have for a family in power?" The reporter was somewhat aggressive and the words revealed a meaning that Louis was not worthy to be the one in charge of the Johnson Family. This was somewhat simr to what happened earlier at the dinner. Again, someone knew Louis'' vulnerability and tried to pull him off the stage. Violet did not speak throughout, quietly analyzing the current situation. Needless to say, the situation was much more serious now than it was at the dinner party earlier. Someone found out Grace mother and son. Whether Louis admited it or not, this was an irond fact. A married sessful person was exposed to have a secret mistress. No matter how good he was, but he would be regarded as not virtuous as a manager. The board members of the Johnson Group, some of whom didn''t get along with Louis, will surely make a big deal out of this ...... Thinking about this, Violet took a deep breath and opened her mouth first before Louis could speak. "You don''t have to question Louis'' moral quality. In my eyes, he has always been a man who is affectionate, responsible andmitted." As soon as these words came out, all the reporters aimed their cameras at her. "Mrs. Johnson, the facts are right in front of you. Your husband is keeping a mistress outside the home. Is such behavior still called responsible andmitted?" "Yes Mrs. Johnson, even if you want to put in a good word for him, you can''t tell a bare-faced lie." "......" Several journalists had questioned. Louis on the other side looked at her the same way, his dark eyes deep. His mind shed back to thest time at the banquet, when she easily defused the crisis. And now, he suddenly had some expectations. How she will defuse this crisis for him! Violet scanned the reporters and there was a light smile on her clear face. "Guys, I''m saying this because this is something I knew about from the beginning. Louis and I were married by agreement, and he confessed this to me when we were married." "Louis has been looking for the woman he mistakenly slept with four years ago, and he said that once he finds her, he will give her a status. Hard work pays off. Two days ago, he finally found her, so we have signed the divorce agreement and will go through the divorce procedures right away!" The woman spoke in a calm tone of voice, saying the most natural words. Thete summer sun shone on her like a gilded glow. That was how she defused it! She and he will have a divorce soon! Louis'' thin lips pursed in a sharp curve, and his gaze fixed on Violet for a moment, as if to see her through. Did she do it on purpose? T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. In this way, she can draw a clear line with him without any trace. He can only go with the flow! The crowd of reporters took photos, surprised and amazed. "Mr. Johnson, is it true what Mrs. Lu said? Are you in the process of divorce?" "Mr. Johnson, please answer positively." "......" No one expected this oue. If what Violet said was true, then Louis'' persona not only did not copse, but also his character impable. People loved the new and loathed the old, let alone rich people. But Louis had been looking for the woman he once slept with by mistake for so many years, and he also gave the woman a status. Such a character, worthy of praise. Louis didn''t say anything, just stared at Violet with burning eyes. Violet was nervous and knew he was in an unpleasant mood at the moment. She raised her eyes and smiled brightly towards Louis, "Louis, congrattions on finally getting what you want. Don''t worry, I will follow the agreement and take what belongs to me and leave obediently." She admitted that she had an element of intentionality in it. Chapter 85 Chapter 85 But she was also thinking of him, wasn''t she? This kind of talk can defuse his crisis, but also can make their own smooth divorce. Kill two birds with one stone, right? The woman''s smile was inexplicably blinding in the sunlight. Louis'' chest rose and fell slightly, and his eyes were cold and heavy. Who actually got what they wanted? All this time, she was the one who wanted the divorce! And now, she finally got what she wanted! This cunning woman! At that moment, Harry hurried over. "Mr. Johnson, we have to go to the hospital right away. Mrs. Martin saw the news and suddenly copsed and went into the hospital." Words that made Louis''s expression change. He couldn''t be bothered to answer the reporters'' questions and left in stride past the crowd. The old Mrs. Johnson fainted! Violet likewise paled and hurriedly followed. Grace, who had been acting as the invisible person, had a sh in her eyes and quickly followed them. The reporters behind them were still asking questions, but Harry and his men stopped the chase and watched Louis and others drive away. The car sped along. Violet sat on the passenger side, peeked at the man on the driver''s side, a heart up and down. Louis stepped on the gas pedal. He looked so grim, so that no one darad to make a sound. In the back row sat Grace, who was currently holding Luka, with red eyes. Luka pursed his small lips, her dark eyes staring at the back of Violet''s head, not saying a word. There was an eerie silence in the car. It wasn''t until the car drove up to the hospital entrance and Violet got out of the car that she let out a long breath. Louis mmed the car door with a "PING" sound and walked in the direction of the emergency room with his long legs. At this point, outside the emergency room, the Johnson Family couple and Jasmine were waiting outside. Louis strode over and said hello to Leon. "Dad, how''s Grandma?" "It''s still in the emergency room." Leon replied and looked at the few people following him with a frown on his face. "What''s wrong with you? What''s with all themotion? Hurry up to deal with it. Don''t let the board of directors have a problem with it." At the word, Louis nodded slightly. His eyes swept over Rosalie and Jasmine with a trace of cold Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. hostility. Today''s incident was definitely the result of these two. If something happened to Grandma, he will not spare them! Rosalie and Jasmine look at each other, not meeting Louis'' eyes, but falling on Grace, who was not far away with a frightened face. Today''s news did not have the effect they expected. This woman did not act on their instructions either. Louis was not branded as a rapist, nor was he branded as having a private life of indiscretion. The final situation was actually turned around again by Violet''s words! This Violet, really madae people hate her! If she stayed by Louis'' side all the time, she can definitely be Louis'' good helper. Fortunately, after the fermentation of the news, they thought Louis should be divorced with Violet. "Violet, is it true what you said in front of the press? Have you and my brother really signed the divorce agreement? Or are you talking about it on purpose to help my brother get out of it?" Jasmine asked Violet deliberately with a roll of her eyes. Although things didn''t work out the way they expected, just with the thought of Violet leaving the Johnson Family soon made her happy. Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Hearing Jasmine''s words, Violet calmly answered, "What I said is true." "Is that so? Well, that''s a real shame. Leaving the Johnson Family the way you did, but you''re just a ordinary person, and it''s not a bad deal to be Mrs. Johnson for a year." Jasmine smiled contemptuously, then walked up to Grace. Grace had a nervous look on her face and hugged Luka, who was at her feet, tightly. Jasmine lifted her chin high, "Miss Harper, you''re the woman my brother has been looking for for four years! Do I have to call you sister-inw from now on?" Grace looked terrified and nced at Louis, who was not far away. Jasmine snorted lightly and didn''t really want her reply, but bent slightly to look at the child. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. "Little kid, I''m your aunt. What''s your name?" Luka''s small mouth was pursed and he looked fixedly at Jasmine. He recognized her. It was the aunt who came to the house that day! Was she an aunt? Why do she have to act like she didn''t know mommy? And the aunt who saved him was the Violet mentioned in the aunt''s mouth? "Harry, take the little young master away." Louis stood a short distance away and ordered in a deep voice. "Yes." Harry answered and picked Luka up. "Louis." Grace was startled and looked at Louis with some trepidation as she watched her son being carried away. Louis walked up to her, his dark eyes deep in concentration. "Where do you want to carry Luka early in the morning?" The neighborhood was an upscalemunity with top-notch security measures. If they didn''t go out of the neighborhood, those reporters can''t possibly besiege them. He just thought it was a bit of a coincidence. "I didn''t want to go anywhere. I just came back to the country. A bit of a craving, miss the taste of doughnuts and burritos, so that''s why I took Luka out for breakfast." Grace''s eyes were red and her fingers were twisted in pity. Louis looked at her, speechless for a moment. Rosalie''s eyes shed and she said in a light voice: "Louis, this woman is probably frightened, and now that your affair has be public knowledge, and since you and Violet have agreed to divorce, give her a name as soon as possible." Was Louis suspicious of Grace? But this Grace answered without mistake. Louis'' cold eyes swept over her, the corners of his mouth curled up in a smirk, "Aunt Rosalie seems to be quite devoted to Grace? If she marries into the Johnson Family in the future, will I not have to worry about your mother-inw and daughter-inw rtionship?" Rosalie froze, and her eyes dodged when she touched Louis'' sharp eyes. "I''m not getting on her case. I''m standing up for the Johnson Group and for the entire Johnson Family. Think about it yourself, how much stir has made over your personal affairs all this time in the Johnson Family?" Little brat, did he want to get her talk? "Doesn''t Aunt Rosalie know better than I do why my private affairs are making such a fuss?" Louis said in a cold voice. "Louis, what do you mean?" "What I mean, you and I know it by heart." "You ......" The two people went toe-to-toe, and Leon''s eyebrows knitted together on the side. Just as Leon was about to speak, the lights in the emergency room went out. A doctor came out of it. Louis was the first to see it and stepped forward. "President Leighton, how is my grandmother?" The doctor took off the mask, "Nothing serious. Mrs. Martin is old, and has cardiovascr disease. She should not be stimted. You need to pay attention in the future. Do not stimte her again." It was good that she was okay. Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Louis subconsciously nced at Violet, saw her relieved look and did not give her a good look. Violet knew that Louis was ming her for talking about the divorce in front of the public. But she was also forced by the situation. Watching Leon and Louis stride toward the hospital room, she rushed to follow. In the back, Jasmine yanked Grace, who wanted to follow her, and pulled her into a corner. "Grace, how dare you disobey me? I said you have to answer yes to whatever the reporter asks, and you actually ignore it?" Jasmine spoke sternly, and Grace looked at her with red eyes. "Miss Johnson, it''s not that I don''t listen to you. It''s that I can''t do it. If I answer yes to everything, then Mr. Johnson is going to be arrested! Once he is arrested, what do I want? That''s not the result I want." The woman had a pitiful look and was in a state of utter stupefaction. Jasmine snorted lightly with a cold and arrogant look, "So you''re not afraid I''ll reveal the truth to Louis?" Grace hurriedly folded her hands and begged, "Miss Johnson, I know I''m wrong. Please give me another chance. I promise, as long as I can stay by Mr. Johnson''s side, I will listen to you in everything from now on." Hearing this, Jasmine curled her lips and nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, I''ll forgive you this time. Remember what you said. You must listen to me in everything in the future." "Okay." Grace nodded repeatedly and watched Jasmine leave with high heels and a cold glint in her eyes. Didn''t they agree that Jasmine would be handled by him? Why was there no movement yet? Ward. The old Mrs. Johnson woke up. "Mom, how do you feel?" Leon had a worried look on his face. The old Mrs. Johnson moved her body and tried to sit up. Louis, who was at the side, hurriedly took a pillow and put it behind her. "You all go out first. Violet and Louis stay." The old Mrs. Johnson scanned the people standing in front of the hospital bed, and her eyes lingered on Grace, who was standing at the end, for two seconds, then moved away. Several peopleplied and walked out of the ward, leaving only Violet and Louis. The old Mrs. Johnson looked at the two standing together and sighed, "I saw the news. You''re still getting a divorce?" Louis thin lips lightly pursed, looked at Violet. The surrounding breath was a little cold, but also with a hint of resentment. Violet''s scalp tingled a little as he stared at her. Why was he looking at her? So for the divorce, only she was med? Violet took a deep breath, met the old Mrs. Johnson''s gaze and said, "Grandma, if we don''t get a divorce, Louis will be in trouble. What''s more, he''s got a child, and I have to quit for the sake of the family." The woman''s eyes were clear, calm and firm. Louis had no reason to be annoyed. "So, I have to thank you for making it happen?" She was the one who wanted a divorce, so why did she say it so grandly? "Mr. Johnson, you don''t have to be polite. It''s what I should do." Violet replied in a serious manner. "You ......" Louis choked, and his handsome face darkened. The old Mrs. Johnson looked at them and sighed in her heart. She thought that after thest dinner event, the two would live a life together. But she didn''t want ...... "Well, now that it''s over. You can divorce with her if you want to. But Louis, remember, in my heart, I only recognize Violet as my granddaughter-inw. I won''t recognize the woman outside, so you can do it yourself." The two were married originally without emotion. Just to get a divorce. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. She hoped her grandson will see his heart clearly and start over with Violet. Chapter 88 Chapter 88 The old Mrs. Johnson''s words touched Violet''s heart for a while. "Grandma, Louis and I are destined to meet but not fated to be together. But in my heart, you will always be my grandma." The old Mrs. Johnson was really nice to her. She was also very sad to part with her. But once she and Louis divorced, it was impossible for them to meet again. Hopefully, the old Mrs. Johnson will gradually ept this fact. "Violet, you said it, I''ll always be your grandmother. If I want to see you in the future, you have toe to see me." The old Mrs. Johnson held Violet''s hand with a loving look on her face. "How could I note to see you? Grandma, you must take care of your health." "If you visit me a few more times, my body will naturally get better." "......" Listening to the conversation between the two, Louis just felt his chest suffocating. They were getting divorced and she can still talk so much happily. Did she really have no love for him at all? "Louis, didn''t you say that I have a grand-grandson? You carry him in. Let me take a look." The old Mrs. Johnson was cated by Violet and thought of this. Louis suppressed his emotions and pulled out his cell phone to call Harry. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Carry the little young master over here." This kid was the son of the Johnson Family. The old Mrs. Johnson no longer liked Grace, but still valued the child. Violet was silent and smiled, "Grandma, I have something else to do, so I''ll leave first." Next, all she had to do was wait for her divorce from Louis to be finalized. Her heart was inexplicably a little empty. She didn''t know if it was because she was finally divorced, or for some other reason. "You''re leaving? Then let Louis send you off." The old Mrs. Johnson was a bit reluctant and said. "No, Grandma, I can do it myself." Violet nced at Louis with the intention of asking him when he was going to go through the divorce process. But the man had a cold face and didn''t even give her a look. Violet pursed her lips and could only leave first. It was not toote to ask him when they backed home. She opened the door and saw Harry striding in with Luka in his arms. Also standing in the hallway were Leon, Rosalie, Jasmine and Grace. Violet swept around, nodded slightly with Leon, nced at Grace again, and then left at a brisk pace. She hadn''t noticed before, but now she realized that this Grace looked a bit familiar. Where had she seen her before? "Luka." When Grace saw Harry carrying Luka into the ward, she was ready to follow him in. "Louis, I just want to see my grand-grandson, don''t let any strangers in." The old Mrs. Johnson''s tone was light, but with a touch of majesty. Grace''s footsteps were halted and she looked at Louis with a bemused expression. "You wait outside first." Louis said in a soft voice, and then took Luka from Harry''s hand. The door to the ward was closed, blocking the view from outside ...... Violet went to Lyonhall Vi to get her things. She rarely lived here and had little of value except for a few sets of clothes and necessary daily necessities. Looking around, looking at this well-decorated vi, she pursed her lips, and her heart could not say what she felt. Obviously should not have any feelings for this ce, but inexplicably, there was a trace of attachment. "Mrs. Johnson , this is ......" Lucy looked at Violet with a surprised look on her face. Violet put her things down and hugged Lucy. "Lucy, thank you for taking care of me this year. I''m leaving, bye." Well, she was reluctant to leave with the warmth that Lucy brought to herself. No other meaning! Violet left in Lucy''s dismay. Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Back at the studio, Josie, who had already called her, was waiting for her. "Violet, you''re just going to leave the Johnson Family?" Josie took the item from Violet''s hand and reconfirmed it. "Yes, I am relieved!" Violet picked up her daughter, smiled and kissed her little cheeks. The little one giggled, not knowing anything, but she was happy to have her mommy around. "Great, I''m going to make a reservation. When youe back from the base, tonight we celebrate your return to singlehood!" Josie spoke with a smile. "No need for that." Violet lost her smile, "I don''t need to go to the base today. I''ll be busy in the studio for a while, or we can eat at home tonight." Julia''s part in the base was over. Violet just waited for the crew to transfer before they need to shoot. So she, the makeup artist, can take a break for the next two days. And David''s makeup artist was in ce and she was no longer needed. There was nothing to celebrate about being single again, but it had been a while since she hadn''t have dinner with her daughter. So she can cook for her daughter at home. "OK, it''s a happy decision." Josie readily agreed and went grocery shopping. ...... Superior Apartment. "Louis, are you really going to separate me from Luka?" Grace looked at Louis with teary eyes, pitiful. Louis gave her a look, "Grace, you are Luka''s biological mother. That is an undisputed fact. No one can separate you from him. It''s just that Grandma is not well and she can''t ept my divorce from Violet yet, so I''ll bring Luka back to Balridge Manor and you can stay here for the time being. If you need anything, just let me know." Grandma''s disapproval of Grace, inexplicably, relieved him. He didn''t want another woman living in Lyonhall Vi just yet. "But Louis, Luka grew up frail and sickly, he can''t be without his mother by his side." Grace said through her tears. "Don''t worry, I was brought up by my grandmother and the servants in Balridge Manor are loyal and will take care of Luka." Louis looked at his watch, "Well, I have things to do, so I''ll leave. You can have a rest." "Louis!" Grace, with tears in her eyes, watched Louis stride away. Until the door closed, the soft expression on her face disappeared and the corners of her mouth curled up. It finally made a progress. With the help of Rosalie and Jasmine, Louis was finally getting a divorce. Next, she''ll be waiting to marry into the Johnson Family and get close to Louis! Pulling out her phone, she sent out a message. "It''s going well." ...... Night came. Josie''s apartment. Violet and Evie were urged by Josie to close the store early so that they can prepare a big dinner in the apartment. Isaac also came and went straight to the kitchen to help as soon as he entered. "Violet, Isaac is nice. Since you''re single, why don''t you consider him?" Josie whispered in Violet''s ear while she was bringing the finished dishes into the dining room. Violet was speechless and pouted towards the kitchen, indicating her to look at the kitchen. "Josie, how retarded are you to not see that Evie has a thing for Isaac?" At this point, Isaac and Evie were the only two people in the kitchen. They worked well together, one washing and one cooking, looking very harmonious. "So, you''re trying to help Evie, but I can feel it''s you that Isaac likes." Josie said. But she only saw him as a brother. Violet said in her mind, then teased toward Josie, "Josie, I don''t want another man. I just want to be a lesbian with you." Josie: "......" The two joked a few more times and Violet looked at the two in the kitchen and didn''t go in to disturb them. After thinking about it, she took out her phone and sent a message to Louis. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. "Mr. Johnson, do you have time tomorrow? Let''s go for a divorce?" Chapter 90 Chapter 90 There was no reply on the phone. She didn''t know if the men was busy or just didn''t bother to pick up his phone. Violet thought about it and sent another one, "Mr. Johnson, I''ll be waiting for you at the entrance of the civil affairs bureau tomorrow at 9 a.m. If you don''t reply, I''ll take it as you agree?" Louis was probably still annoyed at her for making a fool of himself, so he didn''t bother to respond her. Then she''ll make the decision for him! Violet stared at her phone, and he still didn''t reply. She exhaled and sent another one. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. "Mr. Johnson, I''ll take that as a yes, so I''ll see you tomorrow at 9 a.m!" Sooner orter, they had to divorce. She hoped he didn''t stand her up tomorrow! "Violet, it''s time for dinner." Isaac called out from the kitchen doorway. "Oh good." Violet put her phone in her pocket and rushed in to help. "Wow, Isaac, it''s only been a while and you and Evie make so many delicious dishes. You guys are so good at what you do." "Violet, I''m just an assistant. It was all Isaac''s doing." Evie said with a smile. "Evie, you''re great. You''ll be a great helper in the future, whoever marries you will be blessed." Violet picked up a dish and gave Isaac a look that meant something. Without speaking, Isaac met her gaze with a slight pause in the smile on his face. "Don''tpliment me. I''m not getting married. I''m relying on you and Josie for the rest of my life." Evie blushed, gave Isaac a yful look and ran out with the dishes. "She''s even shy." Violet gave a lightugh. Isaac looked at her and said, "Violet, you can dislike me, but don''t ever mess with me." Did he see that she was trying to bring Evie together with him? Violet looked at Isaac who was taking care of her daughter, pursed her lips and let out a sigh. ...... Balridge Manor. Louis stood by the window, looking at the messages on his phone. His thin lips pursed in a sharp curve. Was she that eager to divorce with him? That she had made the decision for him? Was the divorce so urgent because there was a next family waiting for her? The scene of Violet and Isaac together inexplicably shed in his mind, and Louis tugged the buttons on his cor in annoyance. He was upset to the extreme. The pants were tugged and he looked down and touched a pair of dark eyes. Louis'' annoyed mood slightly calmed down and squatted down to hug Luka, "What''s wrong?" The little one''s little face was flushed and his eyes were dark and shiny, looking very spirited. He was wearing a small apron with a lot of flour on it. He did not feel ufortable after leaving his mother. Instead, he seemed to enjoy the atmosphere of Balridge Manor. It was probably because Grandma had him make pastries all afternoon. Luka passed a pastry in his hand to his mouth with a look of anticipation. "Louis, this is made by Luka. Just ready to eat and think of you first. Try it." The old Mrs. Johnson was helped over with a smile on her face. Louis felt warm instantly and took a bite on the pastry. "It''s good, it''s delicious." A light shed in Luka''s eyes, and her lips curved silently as he continued to bring the pastry to Louis'' mouth. Watching the interaction between father and son, the old Mrs. Johnson''s eyes flickered and she sighed. "Look at this child. How understanding! If only Violet were here now, then I would be even happier." What this meant was that she wanted Violet toe and raise Luka. Grandma had the same idea as he had. But Violet didn''t think so. That heartless woman. His grandma treated her so well but she wasn''t grateful. Louis chewing''s movement paused and his eyes slightly sunken. The old Mrs. Johnson observed his reaction and said, "Louis, you can remarry after divorce. I still say, I only recognize Violet as my granddaughter-inw. if you want your grandmother to live two more years, you should go after Violet again." She could feel the changes in her own grandson during this time. He should had Violet in mind. "Grandma, you''re old, so don''t bother. Let''s go and let Luka apany you to dinner." Louis picked up Luka and did not reply to the old Mrs. Johnson. Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Let him go after Violet again? He was the head of The Johnson Group. Shouldn''t others be the one who was crying and begging for his help? Didn''t he have pride? Looking at the back of her grandson, the old Mrs. Johnson''s old eyes shed with light. She can''t await his doom. She had to help her own grandson. ...... The following day. Violet stood in front of the civil affairs bureau, looking for him. It had been half an hour and there was still no sign of Louis. He was not pretending not to see the message, right? If he didn''te, at least told her so! Violet was bellyaching, mentally debating whether to continue to wait. At that moment, a luxury car stopped at the entrance. The door opened and Louis got out of the back seat of the car. A handmade version of a ck suit wrapped around his tall, upright figure. Under the sun, the man was still handsome. What a beautiful man! Violet sighed in her heart and took a quick step to meet him. "Mr. Johnson, you''re here." The woman wore a ponytail, showing a bare fair forehead. She came smiling in the sunshine, looking extra youthful and bright. Seemed to be in a good mood. Louis nced at her, only to feel the depression in the heart again. Was she that happy to divorce? "Mr. Johnson, it''s gettingte. So let''s go in and do the paperwork?" Violet looked at Louis who was sullen and asked cautiously. Louis stared at her and suddenly burst out, "Violet, there are some things you don''t need to worry about. I will take care of them myself. I''ll give you one more chance. Do you want to be Luka''s mother? If you back out, I can ......" "Mr. Johnson, you are handsome and from an noble family. Like me who are just amoner, so I will not spheme you. It is better to look at you from afar." Without waiting for Louis to finish his words, Violet had a wide smile on her face andplimented. Louis'' words stuck in his throat, and the air pressure around him lowered. A women who cannot tell good from bad. Just waited and regreted! Looking at the man with a cold face striding towards the inside, Violet patted her chest and let out a long breath. It was so hard to wait for the divorce. How could she possibly regret it! When she got the divorce papers and stared at the words on it, she was still in a bit of a trance. Now, she was second-hand? "Violet." Not far away sounded the voice of a man. Violet looked up and saw Isaac striding towards her. "Isaac, what brings you here?" "I just happened to be passing by." Isaac walked up to her, not saying he came around to take a look on purpose. Wondering if she''ll get a smooth divorce this time. "Then you can continue to your work. I''m going to go back too." Violet put the divorce papers in her bag and smiled. Isaac was relieved when his eyes fell on Louis, who had juste out, and gave him a slight nod. "Mr. Johnson." Louis'' thin lips were pursed and his eyes swept coldly past him andnded on Violet''s body. So this was the reason why she rushed to divorce herself? Out of sorts! Louis strode away. Violet looked at his back, and her heart inexplicably crossed a trace of unknown emotions. Goodbye, ex-husband! The phone rang unexpectedly. Violet returned to her senses, picked it up and looked at it. It was the old Mrs. Johnson calling. Answering, she softly said, "Grandma." "Violet, Louis said you''re going to do the divorce today? When you''re done,e to Balridge Manor Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. and make pastries with Grandma, okay?" Chapter 92 Chapter 92 The old Mrs. Johnson wanted her to go to Balridge Manor? Violet thought about it and smiled, "Okay Grandma, I''ll be right there." This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. She said that even after the divorce, she would still treat the old Mrs. Johnson as her grandmother. Violet hung up the phone and looked over at Isaac, "Isaac, I''m going to Balridge Manor." Isaac looked slightly restrained, wanting to say something. Why would the old Mrs. Johnson let her go to Balridge Manor when she was already divorced? Howe there was a feeling that she still had the rtion with the Johnson family? Violet drove to Balridge Manor. Led by a servant, she entered the living room. At that moment, the old Mrs. Johnson was sitting on the couch, watching Luka y with the Rubik''s Cube. The little one yed with great concentration, and the side of his face was very delicate. A pair of small hands skillfully turned the Rubik''s cube, and soon thest two sides were also put together. Heughed silently and held the Rubik''s Cube up to the old Mrs. Johnson, gesturing for her to see it. The old Mrs. Johnsonughed, "My little boy. That was great." Such a cozy scene. Violet curled her lips and called out, "Grandma, I''m here." The old Mrs. Johnson and Luka looked back at her at the same time. "Violet, get over here." The old Mrs. Johnson waved at her with a smile. Luka looked steadily at the approaching Violet, his eyes shining brightly. It was the pretty aunt! Violet walked up to the two and met the little one''s crystal eyes with a gleam in them. These eyes were so bright that she thought they were a match for her daughter''s eyes! "Your name is Luka, isn''t it? We meet again." Violet bent down slightly and greeted the little one. Luka pursed her lips and suddenly burst out with a milky voice, "Hello auntie." The old Mrs. Johnson: "......" The boy had been at Balridge Manor for days and she hadn''t heard him speak. Her own grandson also said that the little one was a bit autistic and may need to see a psychiatrist. But now ...... The old Mrs. Johnson was a little excited, and her eyes were shining brightly. She asked Violet toe to Balridge Manor today because she wanted to see if Violet and the little one could develop a rtionship first. Now it seemed that the boy must like Violet. That couldn''t be better. "Violet, grandma misses your cinnamon cake again. Luka showed me yesterday. Take Luka and make a pure one for grandma again!" The old Mrs. Johnson spoke with a smile, and Violet looked at Luka with some surprise. "Luka can make pastries too? That''s awesome!" Luka wasplimented and shook his head with a slightly hot face. He didn''t know how to do it. It was the aunts here who did it for him. "Is Luka being shy? So cute." Violet saw the little guy''s ears redden and snickered, pinching his earlobe. For some reason, she had an inexplicable fondness for this little guy. Probably because he saved Erin''s life. "Come on, let''s make pastries together for Grandma, okay?" "Hmm." The old Mrs. Johnson nodded in satisfaction as she watched the two figures walk to the kitchen. If her grandson could remarry Violet, Violet would absolutely treat Luka like her own son. It was strange that this child did not mor for his mother after he arrived here? Except for the initial question, it had never been asked again. It was evident that the child and the mother were not close! In the kitchen, Violet helped the little one tie his little apron, washed his hands and started making pastries with him. Chapter 93 Chapter 93 "Luka, grab two handfuls of sticky rice with your little hands." Violet took the ingredients and instructed the little one. Luka nodded and grabbed two handfuls of glutinous rice before grabbing two handfuls of japonica rice. Violet dulyplimented, "Wow, Luka you are so smart." Luka''s eyes shone brightly as he recalled the steps he took yesterday to make the pastry, helping Violet. "Luka, are you tired? Auntie will help you wipe your sweat." Violet looked at Luka whose almond eyes were sparkling, and squatted down to touch the little one with her flour-soaked hand. The little man''s face instantly went white. Violet burst out augh, "Luka, sorry, auntie forgot that I got flour on my hand." The little man reacted, knowing that Violet was ying with him, blinked his big eyes and quickly touched Violet''s face with his little hand. Violet couldn''t avoid it, so sheughed and tickled the little man. "Little Luka, why are your hands so fast?" Luka hurriedly broke away from Violet''s hand and ran awayughing. "Don''t you run away. Come here, auntie won''t y that again." Violet pretended to go after him as the twoughed and joked in the kitchen. At the door of the kitchen, the old Mrs. Johnson had the scene recorded with a look of relief. She then had the video sent to Louis. At this moment, Louis was sitting in the chair of the president''s office. Also present was Grace, who had just brought a bowl of soup. Louis'' eyes withdrew from Grace, who was pouring the soup, and looked at the video sent by the old Mrs. Johnson. On the video was a scene of Violet ying with the little one. Louis raised his eyebrows and his eyes moved slightly. Did Grandma send Violet back to Balridge Manor to be with Luka? Was she going to let Violet and Luka develop a rtionship first? The cold breath around the body slightly warmed up, and the originally unhappy mood also slightly cleared. "Louis, I don''t know if you like the soup I made. So have some while it''s hot." Grace was holding a bowl of soup in her hand and saw Louis looking at the phone video with the corners of his mouth slightly hooked. His eyes were shing slightly. She heard a woman''s voice called Luka in the video. What was he looking at? Hearing Grace''s words, Louis turned the video off, and the smile on his face disappeared. "You don''t have to do this kind of thing in the future. If you feel free, you can find something to do." Because of the public opinion, he hadn''t figured out how to arrange her yet. But definitely not for her toe and serve him soup and tea. Grace looked at Louis'' handsome face and her eyes shed, "Louis, can Ie work at the Johnson Group then?" At that moment, Louis looked up at her, "You want toe work at the Johnson Group?" "Yes." "What will you do?" "I can be your assistant." Grace said hastily. Louis narrowed his eyes and looked at her steadily. "My assistants need to have a master''s degree at least. Do you think you are qualified?" Grace choked, "Louis, I can be your life assistant and take care of your living." "It''s not necessary." Louis'' long fingers tapped the desktop habitually, "I''ve read your profile. You studied hotel management in college. Why don''t you go to the Pce Hotel. I''m going on inspection this afternoon. You can go with me." Go to the Pce Hotel! This was not the oue she wanted.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. But it was also better than nothing. "Okay, I''ll do whatever you say." Grace nodded obediently, hiding the ghostly light under her eyes. Louis went back his work. Grace nced at his phone and pretended to be pitiful. "Louis, is Luka living well? He doesn''t like to express himself, but I know that he must want to see me. Will I be able to see him again in the future?" Chapter 94 Chapter 94 Hearing her words, Louis raised his eyes again. "Of course, as I said, you are his real mother and no one can separate you. I''ll take Luka to school tomorrow, so if you''re free, join me in the morning." Hearing this, Grace nodded her head in a hurry, "I''m free Louis, so tomorrow morning ......" Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. "I''ll have Harrye pick you up." "Okay." The little one was still useful to her and she had to solicit sympathy from time to time, hoping to get into the Johnson Family quickly. ...... Balridge Manor. Violet apanied the little one to make pastries and lunch. Luka looked at the lunch in front of him and his eyes widened and shone brightly. Just saw a te of rice and dishes that formed the shape of a robot cat, lifelike. "Show great-grandma. Luka''s lunch today is so much fun!" The old Mrs. Johnson sat by the table and was surprised to see the unique meal in front of Luka. Luka nodded vigorously and looked at Violet again, his eyes starry. Auntir was so dexterous! He had never had a lunch like this, and no one had ever treated him with such care. "Luka, try it. Is it good?" Violet sat down next to Luka and served him a bowl of bone broth. Such a meal was what she came up with to get her daughter to eat more vegetables. Erin was a picky eater, so she thought of ways to make food for her when she was home. Luka was also a child, and should like this kind of childish food. Luka picked up the spoon and was a little torn about where to start. He then carefully scooped up a spoonful of rice and brought it into his mouth. The rice smelled great and the food was delicious. Luka ate happily. "Luka, eat slowly. Be careful of not choking. Here, have a sip of soup." Violet saw that he loved it, and smiled. She fed him the soup again. Luka took a good sip of soup, then scooped up a spoonful of rice and passed it to Violet''s mouth. "Wow, Luka is so good." Violetplimented with a smile. Luka''s eyes were full of starlight and extraordinarily bright. Watching the interaction between the two, the old Mrs. Johnson smiled with satisfaction. She can''t be wrong about Violet who was a good, caring woman. She was sure Violet can raise Luka well. The most remarkable thing was that the kid liked her too! Even, from her point of view, the two had a bit of a mother-son impression! It must be fate! The old Mrs. Johnson was unmoved, and her eyes were full of light. From time to time, Violet paid attention to the little one during the meal, until he all finished, an her heart was full of the sense of aplishment. This kid really liked the food she cooked. At that moment, there was a message on her phone. It was a message from Julia, telling her that she was going into the crew early. It also meant she must be there right away, too. "Grandma, I have to start work this afternoon. I have to leave right away, so I can''t stay here with you." Violet also had almost finished eating and pulled out a paper towel to wipe the corner of her mouth. "Going to be busy with work? Fine." The old Mrs. Johnson had a loving face, "Violet, it''s been a hard day for you." "Grandma, you are too hospitable. I don''t feel hard at all, rather I am very happy." Violet got up and stroked Luka''s little head. This child was not talkative and was said to be a bit autistic. And she wondered how his mother brought him up! Inexplicable pity. Luka got out of her chair, and her dark eyes fixed on Violet, a hint of reluctance shed in her eyes. Was Auntie leaving? Will shee back in the future? "Then in the future, when Grandma calls you again, you muste." The old Mrs. Johnson said smilingly. "Definitely, as long as Grandma doesn''t mind." Violet made a couple of polite remarks and then waved to Luka. "Luka, auntie has to go, bye oh." Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Luka stared at her and held out a hand and waved. It was not until Violet''s car was out of sight that he reluctantly withdrew his eyes. The old Mrs. Johnson looked at him and deliberately asked, "Luka, do you like Auntie Violet?" Luka nodded vigorously. The old Mrs. Johnson''s eyes shed, "Why do you like her?" Why do you like her? Luka cocked her little head, thinking. Probably because, she gave him a very intimate feeling. "Luka, grandma also likes her very much, and wants her to grow up with Luka in the future. Do you think it''s good?" The old Mrs. Johnson didn''t wait for Luka''s reply and continued to bait. Luka nced at her loving face, hesitated for a moment and slowly dropped his little head. Dad said this was his home, and he will live here from now on. At first he was scared because it was all strangers and mommy was not there. But his great-grandmother was very good to him, and his aunt and uncle here will also y with him. Unlike before, when he was all alone in the house with his nanny and his mommy was rarely seen. He liked it better than his old life. He may be small, but that didn''t mean he didn''t understand anything. Did Grandma mean that she wanted Auntie Violet to be his mommy in the future? A bit of a tangle. He liked Violet a lot, because she had more of the smell of mommy on her! Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. But if Violet became his own mommy, what about his real mommy? The old Mrs. Johnson, seeing that the little one''s head was hanging down and not talking, reached out and touched his soft hair. "There''s no rush. Let''s think slowly." There will be ample time and she trusted her decision. ...... Violet went to the Pce Hotel because the crew temporarily upied the space for a few scenes. Stepping into this hotel again, thinking about the experience four years ago, Violet exhaled and pushed down all her thoughts. It was all in the past and she didn''t want to hate the man who changed her life. Because at least she had a lovely daughter as a result. Arriving at the private room that temporarily served as a dressing room, Violet greeted several people she knew. "David. Julia." David was sitting in the make-up chair. His exclusive makeup artist, Kian, was preparing to apply his makeup. When he saw Violet enter, David wanted to say something but did not. He never thought Violet would divorce Louis like that! Decisive and straightforward, but also came to Louis''s rescue in front of the press. This woman was really a very good wife. It was a pity Louis wasn''t lucky enough to have one! "Sister-inw, are you okay?" David gestured for Kian to stop his makeup application and looked at Violet and asked. Violet was fiddling with her makeup tools. At that moment, she smiled slightly, "Thank you David for your concern. I''m fine. Please call me Helena from now on." She was no longer Louis'' ugly wife! "OK." David paused, "Helena, you divorced Louis and you really don''t hold back at all?" It was really surprising to see her look so dashing. At least Louis was the top powerhouse in the City, and looked handsome and dapper. Shouldn''t she be gloomy when she''d just divorced? Violet''s hands paused, and something shed in her downcast eyes, but it was fleeting. Then she raised her eyes andughed: "David, I took advantage of the divorce to be a rich woman. In the future I can live freely, do whatever I want, and do not have to act ordingly. Such a life does not sound good? Why do I miss the life of marriage?" David: "......" This woman, dashing enough! He didn''t know what Louis had in mind. Was it indifferent? Or still had some regrets! Outside. Louis took Grace into the Pce Hotel''s general manager''s office. A group of executives had been waiting for a long time. Chapter 96 Chapter 96 "Mr. Johnson, you''re here." Ivan Gill, the general manager of the hotel, had a respectful look on his face. Louis gave a slight nod and nced at Grace who was following behind him. "This is Grace. She studied hotel management in college. Is the position of our housekeeping manager still vacant? Let her fill in first." Hearing this, a group of executives all nodded their heads and said yes. They had seen the news long ago and knew that this woman might be the next Mrs. Johnson. They should lick her boots. "I''ll be grateful for your guidance in the future." Grace smiled and shook hands with several. "You''re wee." Several people had a respectful face. Louis finished his instructions and sat down with the documents to listen to several executives report on their work. Grace stood by obediently and listened. "Mr. Johnson, in general, the hotel is operating normally. There is only one thing that I am about to report to you." Ivan waited for the others to finish reporting first, then he would make the final report. "Say it." "Two days ago, Philip Bailey, the head of Rydon Food, secretly bribed the manager of our hotel''s purchasing department, and delivered pastries of poor quality, which caused dissatisfaction among many regr guests. Now the two are outside, you see ......" Louis looked through the information and settled on the top of one of the pages. Their hotel was positioned for the upscale, so the service provided must be excellent, whether it was in the housekeeping department or any other departments. He also knew that there would inevitably be kickbacks in management. He can choose to turn a blind eye, but only if he can guarantee quality. "The manager of the purchasing department will be dismissed, and Rydon Food''s cooperation with us is terminated and a new food partner will be selected." Louis was concise and definitive. "Yes." Ivan responded, and after a pause, he said, "But Mr. Johnson, Rydon Food is an old brand, and the quality of the pastries they usually deliver is also considered high-grade. Now if the contract is terminated immediately, I''m afraid it will be difficult to find a supplier of the same quality as theirs for a while." Although they had a back kitchen, the pastry supply had always been outsourced. Trying to find one that was simr in size to Rydon Food as soon as possible was a bit difficult at the moment. Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his long fingers tapped on the table. To serve pastries? Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. A small store suddenly shed in his mind. "Ever heard of Tasty Interlude Bakery? I''m told the online reviews are pretty good." "Tasty Interlude Bakery? I''ve heard of it, and the public feedback is that their pastries taste pretty good, but isn''t the scale a bit small?" Ivan asked hesitantly. "Small size is not a problem. Good quality is the point." Louis said, "Let''s make this one a key partner to talk to." "Yes." Ivan responded. "Is there anything else?" "One more thing ......" Ivan was still reporting on his work. Grace stood by, listening to the conversation between the two, her eyes twinkling. They were breaking their partnership with Rydon Food? But Philip was her uncle-inw ...... "Is there any more? If not, let''s leave it at that." When Ivan finished his report, Louis got up and prepared to go out for a tour. "Louis, then I''ll stay and start working today." Grace said in a rush. Louis gave her a look, then left in stride. Grace smiled and followed him out. Outside, Philip was told by Ivan to break off the partnership, and at once pleaded bitterly. Ivan didn''t bother with him and went after Louis. Philip pped his head with a look of dismay. "Philip." Grace saw that no one was there and called out softly. Philip froze and jerked back. "You are, Grace?" "It''s me. I''m Grace." Chapter 97 Chapter 97 Grace touched her face and said. Her face has been done micro stic surgery and was slightly different from before. "Grace, is it really you? You''ve been gone for four years and you''re finally back?" Philip''s surprise was mixed with a look of excitement. Grace made a shushing gesture and pulled Philip into the office. "Philip, are you okay?" Although uncle Philip and her sunt were divorced, Philip had been very good to her. A few years ago, she came to work at the Pce Hotel because of Philip''s help, so she was able to work here in her element. "It''s okay, but the partnership with the Pce Hotel is going to end." Philip looked at Grace, "Grace, I saw the news and was wondering if the Grace mentioned above was you. Now it seems to be you, isn''t it? You left Crotosi City four years ago because you were pregnant with Louis'' child?" At that moment, Grace''s eyes shed, just smiled and did not answer positively. Philip took her hand, "Grace, since that''s the case, you are the future Mrs. Johnson! You have to help Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. me. You can''t let me lose this big client of Pce Hotel." Grace patted his hand, "Don''t worry, Philip. I was just appointed as the housekeeping manager of Pce Hotel today. I''ll figure it out." "Hey hey, good." ...... Temporary dressing room. Violet had finished helping Julia with her makeup and was watching the news. The news about her and Louis was no longer hot, but the fallout was still there. Probably because of what happened at thest dinner party, theizens found her to be a very interesting woman. Many people were feeling bad for her, saying she shouldn''t step aside and give way. After all, she was Louis'' legitimate wife, so why should she give way to another woman? Violet scrolled through thements of theizens with ack of interest. At that moment, her cell phone rang. She nced over and it was Isaac''s call. "Isaac, what''s up?" "Nothing major, just asking where you are now. Are you still at Balridge Manor?" Violetughed, "No, it''s already working." "Oh? Work has started? In the base?" "No, I''m at the Pce Hotel. The crew has moved on to filming." "Yeah? I see, I''ll hang up now then." Isaac finished and hung up. The call was to ask if she was still at Balridge Manor? Violet blinked and put the phone away. David''s voice came to her ear. "Isaac? Helena, you have a suitor so soon?" Violet: "......" She found out that David was really gossipy! "David, don''t be ridiculous. Isaac and I are just normal friends." "Is that so? But I have a hunch that this man is pursuing you, right?" "David, I''ll go to the bathroom." Not wanting to gossip with him, Violet got up to go to the bathroom. David watched her leave the dressing room, and narrowed his eyes. Pulling out his phone, he took a quick photo of Violet''s back, then sent a message out. "Louis, your ex-wife is so sought-after that she already has a suitor! At least it used to be your woman, are you sure you''re just going to give her away?" Austin said Louis was too stubborn to admit he liked her. Obviously, he was in love with Violet, but not admitting it. He should stimte him to see if he really intended to let go! Outside. Louis, who was inspecting, heard a beep on his phone and took it out to look at it. His ex-wife had a suitor! Even David knew about it! The breath around Louis sank. Looking at the environment in the photo, he felt a little familiar. "Where are you?" "At the Pce Hotel." Chapter 98 Chapter 98 So coincidentally, they were at the Pce Hotel? Louis'' dark eyes twitched and he asked Harry, "Did the hotel lend a venue to the crew?" "Yes, because of Mr. Bergen, the hotel did lend the location to the crew for filming." Harry said. Louis was silent, then said to the executives: "You do not need to follow me." David was filming in his own hotel. As his good friend, he should visit David and that was reasonable. All the executives left. Louis straightened his clothes and prepared to visit the crew. Just two steps away, he spotted a familiar figure. Isaac was pressing the elevator button with arge bag of drinks and pastries in his hand. Louis''s footsteps halted and his dark eyes instantly narrowed. What was Isaac doing here? Was it also to visit? And it was Violet whom he visited! Louis thin lips lightly pursed, and his heart was inexplicably upset. "Our architectural design director, do you have much free time?" Harry was asked with a bewildered look on his face. When he followed Louis'' line of sight, he spotted Isaac''s figure. "Director Isaac is supposed to have an appointment with a client over here and just finished." Harry thought about it and reported truthfully. "The resort development case in the neighboring city, there was a little problem some time ago. You already sent a small designer over to deal with it, did you solve the problem?" Louis asked in a deep voice. "Not yet." "Since it hasn''t solved. Let''s put this in the hands of Director Isaac." "Yes." Harry responded, with some rity of mind. He heard that Director Isaac and Miss Elliott were very close. The president was jealous of it? He was looking for an excuse to add Director Isaac''s workload and sideline him? Silently felt sorry for Director Isaac! Bathroom. Violet washed her hands and prepared to go back to the dressing room. At the corner, she bumped into a person. "I''m sorry." Violet hastily apologized. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Grace wrinkled her eyebrows and was about to speak, but swallowed her rebuke when she saw it was Violet. "Miss Elliott ? What a coincidence! What are you doing here?" So it was Grace! Violet raised her eyes and smiled slightly, "I have work here today." Grace nodded, and her face piled with apologies, "Miss Elliott, thank you." Thank her for divorcing? Violet''s fingers curled up, "You''re wee. I''m not doing it for you. I have work to do, so I''ll go ahead and get busy." She was turning around to leave when she thought of something and suddenly stopped and looked back at Grace. "Miss Harper, have we met before?" At that moment, Grace''s eyes flickered, "Miss Elliott worked at the Pce Hotel four years ago, and we used to work together." Violet looked at her steadily, "You''re Grace, the head waitress in the housekeeping department?" Back then she worked part-time as a waitress at the Pce Hotel and Grace was the head waiter, so they met before. "It''s me." Grace didn''t deny it. Violet smiled slightly, "I haven''t seen you for four years, and you''ve changed a lot." So big that she didn''t dare to confirm it for a while. She remembered Grace as being very reserved at the time. There was also gossip that she became someone''s mistress ...... "You''ve changed a lot, too." Grace raised an eyebrow without much exnation. Violet curled her lips, "I''ll go ahead and get busy then." She had to say, it was a small world. She didn''t realize they had met four years ago. As she watched Violet leave, the smile on Grace''s face disappeared. Her eyes shed with a ghostly light. She straightened her hair around her ears and stepped forward. Chapter 99 Chapter 99 From a distance, she saw Louis and Harry walking forward without looking at each other. Where were they going? Dressing room. "Isaac? What brings you here?" As soon as Violet entered, she looked at Isaac handing out things and was amazed. "I just happened to be over here to meet a client, and knowing you were here, I brought you some food." Isaac smiled and handed the rest of the items to the staff on site. "Thanks." Violet said thanks and took the drink and pastry he handed to her. It was Tasty Interlude Bakery''s drinks and pastries! Isaac was thoughtful. Only, she didn''t want him to get attached to herself. "Helena, just got divorced and you have a new boyfriend? You''re so popr!" Jessie just finished a scene and walked in from outside. She looked at Isaac and smiled yfully, "This man looks familiar! Helena, so you''ve already found your next man?" Hearing this, Violet''s expression faded, "Jessie, please don''t take it for granted. Isaac and I are just friends." "Really? Helena, don''t be picky if you''re being courted!" Jessie twisted her waist and walked to Violet, "Don''t forget, you are now a divorcee. This man looks barely good. Anyway, when you divorce, the Johnson Family will certainly not treat you badly. If he has no money, you will pay back a little and consider him as a boy toy." That was a bit too snarky. Not only did Jessie satirize her, but she alsopared Isaac to a boy toy. Violet''s face went cold. As she was about to speak, Isaac, who was on the sidelines, was the first to open his mouth. "I didn''t expect the innocent woman in the eyes of the public to speak so harshly in private? Yes, if she had qualities, she would not have been a mistress back then." Violet couldn''t help but nce at Isaac. So the gentle man also had such a mean side! Isaac ignored Jessie, whose face was alternately blue and white, and smiled slightly towards Violet. Seeing her sweat on her forehead, he took out a tissue to wipe her sweat. When Louis came in, he saw this scene. In the light, the man warmly wiped the woman''s sweat, and the woman raised her eyes. She was like a timid and lovable little woman. At that moment, the depression in his heart was rampant. He nced at Harry, who was following him, with a cold look in his eyes. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. It was like saying, "Why is he still here? Harry just felt a tingle on his scalp and hurriedly retreated. The president was ming him for not doing his work well! He had to arrange for Director Isaac to travel immediately! "It''s a bit lively today!" David, who went out to greet Louis, nced over Violet and Isaac with a sh of interest. The shooting was very boring. And it was funny to be a looker-on. "Mr. Johnson, Mr. Bergen." Isaac greeted the two men without being condescending. "Hello." David and Isaac nodded and looked at Louis again. "Louis, look at him. He doesn''te empty-handed when visiting. How about you?" How can he chase her with this look? The opening was a loss! "Women are the ones who like small favors. I am the president of the Johnson Group who took time to visit you, how dare you ask me for small favors?" Louis spoke coldly and proudly. David: "......" Louis kept talking tough! Come to visit him? He was not that important! At that moment, Isaac''s cell phone rang. He pulled it out and took a look at it and walked to the side to answer the phone. Louis nced at him, then his eyes fell on the woman who was organizing her makeup case not far away. Just after the divorce, was she eager to marry someone else? So short of men! Chapter 100 Chapter 100 When the two directors and producers of the crew heard that Louis had arrived, they hurriedly dropped what they were doing and came to see him. Louis sat in his chair like a king, epting tea and water from the side. "You all go ahead and get busy. Don''t mind me." "Yeah, yeah, Oscar, get to your scene and don''t dy the schedule." David gestured for Oscar and the others to go out. Louis was here to chase women, not to inspect the work. "Okay." Oscar nodded, said hello to Louis, and pulled Jessie and a few others out of the room. "Violet, I have to go. You pay attention to the work and rest. Don''t be too tired." Isaac received a notice from hispany that he was scheduled to a business travel. He gave Louis a thoughtful look. Thinking of a possibility, he held his phone, somewhat speechless. "You too, take it slow on the road." Violet advised with a smile. "Okay, then I''m off." "I''ll send you." Violet was ready to send Isaac out. Louis'' thin lips tightly pursed, watching the interaction between the two. And his handsome face was written with displeasure. David looked on and got up to stop Violet. "Helena, Mr. Johnson has something to say to you and I will help you send him out." Violet''s footsteps stopped and there was some suspicion when she looked at Louis. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "What did Mr. Johnson want from me?" "It''s ......" David showed resourcefulness in emergency, "He has an interviewter and needs you to help him apply makeup." Louis: "......" Howe he didn''t remember any interviews he had? However, he didn''t mind letting Violet help him. "I''m sorry. I have work to do. I''m afraid I can''t help Mr. Johnson with his makeup." Violet saw that Julia had returned, and with a slight thought, smiled without losing her politeness. Why did she feel that David was setting her up with Louis? She didn''t want to have any more encounters with her ex-husband, okay? Louis'' face, which had softened down, sank again. He stared at Violet, his eyes deep in concentration. This woman actually refused to serve him! "Huh? Helena, I''ll go to the bathroom first. I''m not in a hurry. You can serve Mr. Johnson first." Julia was sharp-witted and found an excuse to slip away. The boss was definitely here for his ex-wife today. She knew what to do! Violet was speechless and smiled politely against Louis'' burning gaze: "Mr. Johnson, I''m afraid the charge will be a bit expensive for temporary makeup." "How much?" Louis spoke in a deep voice. Violet opened her mouth, and before she could say anything, David, who came in, said, "My makeup artist temporarily applies makeup for others and charges up to 10,000." "Is 20,000 enough? Not enough and I can add more." Violet: "......" She just didn''t want to do Louis'' makeup, so she casually said the fee would be more expensive. Louis was really rich and powerful. She would be a fool not to earn money. Thinking of this, Violet''s face piled up with a smile and sat down with an inviting gesture, "Mr. Johnson, please sit over here." The woman was so greedy! Louis snorted lightly in his heart and got up with a cold and proud face. But the eyebrows were stretched out. Violet opened the makeup case, took out the makeup tools and turned to look at the man who was already sitting in the makeup chair. The man''s handsome face remained the same. Smooth forehead, deep eyes, thick eyebrows, high nose ...... All of them showed the nobility and elegance of the men. He sat quietly, without saying a word but exuded a proud strength. Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Violet helped him clean his face, and her mind shed back to that scene when she helped him refine his make-up in the vi. At that night, the two were close and he took her into his arms ... Her heart suddenly beat irregrly, and her ears inexplicably burned. Violet unconsciously swallowed her saliva, and the movement of her hands elerated. Louis looked straight ahead and could clearly see the woman''s heaving chest. She wasn''t calm. He raised his eyes and saw that her face was a little red. At once, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised as well. "Are you feeling hot?" The man''s sudden voice made Violet, who was already tense, startled. She was trimming his eyebrows, but the force of her hand was a little ample, and identally mped his eyelid. Louis'' eyebrows instantly knitted up and he red at her. Violet cursed and quickly apologized, "Sorry, I didn''t mean to it." Louis stared at her, "Violet, what are you thinking about? Why is your face so red? Is it because you are thinking of something inappropriate?" Violet: "......" He should not ask so directly! Violet''s face became even redder. She forced down her inner ups and downs and pretended to be calm, "Mr. Johnson, just now I had a hot drink so I''m feeling a little hot. Please sit still and don''t think or talk anymore so that I don''t distract and hurt you." "Why do you get distracted when I talk? Is it because I''m different from others?" Louis'' gazed at her as if he was hinting at something. Violet moved her hand, thenughed, "Yes, Mr. Johnson is a noble man, so of course you''re different from ordinary customers." Was that all? Louis didn''t say anything, but his dark eyes were fixed on Violet, as if he wanted to see through all her thoughts. Violet held her breath, forcing herself to ignore the man''s gaze, and began to concentrate on his face. David, who was listening to the two with interest, raised his eyebrows. As for the way how Violet behaved, it was not like she had no feelings for Louis. At this time, someone knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in. Violet finished herst step, straightened up slightly, and raised her eyes to check who wasing in. The person standing at the door was Grace, followed by a waiter holding a fruit dish. "Louis, I heard that Miss Elliott is busy here, so I brought over some fruits for everyone." Bringing fruits for her? Violet nced at Grace and saw she was greeting the few people who came in. Inexplicably, Grace was having a sense of the hostess who was entertaining her guests. "Miss Harper is too polite." Violet gathered her makeup tools and said thank you in a light voice. Louis nced at Grace and frowned. What was she doing here? "Who''s this pretty?" Jessie, who had followed her in, called out exaggeratedly. "Hi, I''m Grace. You''re Miss Shaw, right? You look better than on TV!" Graceplimented. ¡°Mrs. Johnson is not only lovely, but also easy to get along with." Jessie took Grace''s hand and said, "I didn''t recognize the future Mr. Johnson just now. Jessie praised her in a delicate voice. From the corner of her eye, Jessie nced at Violet with a sarcastic look. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Violet ignored her words and looked at Louis, saying seriously, "Mr. Johnson, don''t forget the wage." Louis'' face was a little cold. He nced at Jessie, then withdrew his eyes and took out his phone to transfer money to Violet. ¡°Ding.¡± Violet checked the amount on her phone and curved her lips, "Thank you, Mr. Johnson." Louis did not say anything, looked at Violet, got up and prepared to leave. "Miss Elliott, thank you for Louis'' makeup. It was a hard work." Grace walked up to Violet, smiled and expressed her thank. Violet nced at her and noticed her smiling eyes. Inexplicably, her chest tightened a little. "It was not a hard work. It was the right thing to do." Grace didn''t have to be so eager to demonstrate to her. She had no intention of having anything with Louis! Chapter 102 Chapter 102 "Louis, are you leaving?" David inquired as he saw Louis get up and spoke. "Hmm." Louis nced at Grace with a somewhat cold expression. Grace noticed his gaze, and the smile on her face slightly froze. "I''ll see you off," said David. Louis didn''t say anything, and paused a little as he passed by Jessie. "Miss Shaw, it''s good to be sweet. But being eagerly attentive leaves me with a very bad impression. I''m currently single, so there is no Mrs. Johnson." Jessie''s smile froze. She realized that Louis was ming her for talking too much and calling Grace Mrs. Johnson. Why did he care about what she was calling Grace? He wouldn¡¯t marry Grace? Jessie''s fingers tightened as she swept her eyes over Violet, who was applying Julia''s makeup. Why did she think Louis couldn''t get Violet out of his mind? Outside. "Louis, take your time ande visit me when you can." David looked at Louis, meaning something. Being a good friend of him was worthy, right? Under the guise of letting Louis to visit him, David helped Louis find a chance to chase his ex-wife. Louis nced at him, patted him on the shoulder and left with a big step. "David, thanks for your hard work." Grace made a polite remark and quickly caught up with Louis. David squinted his eyes and said, "Grace is not simple.¡± In the front, Grace caught up with Louis, looked at his cold side face and cautiously said, "Louis, are you angry with me?" At that moment, Louis slowed his pace and nced at her, "Why did youe over?" "I just ran into Miss Elliott on my way to the bathroom. I''m really sorry that you divorced her. So I thought I''d bring her some fruit, and I didn''t expect you to be there." Grace hurriedly exined. Louis did not speak, and there was no expression on his good-looking face. Only after a long time did he say in a light voice, "Go and get busy." Watching the man stride forward, Grace''s face slightly rxed. It seemed that this man still had Violet in mind. He didn''t intend to marry her, did he? ¡°Tic.¡± Her received a text message on her phone. "Grace, Ivan has sent someone to talk to the head of Tasty Interlude Bakery about cooperation. You must help uncle Philip." It was a message from Philip. Grace tightened her grip on the phone, and her eyes were shing. The rtion between Tasty Interlude Bakery and Violet was not shallow. Can¡¯t she get around Violet? ...... Night came. At Josie''s apartment. "Erin, you''re going to attend the kindergarten tomorrow, so go to bed early today." Violet put her daughter into the nket. The little one''s face was flushed and she looked at Violet and asked, "Mommy, are you not going to see uncle Louis anymore?" Violet was stunned and pinched her little cheeks, "Yes, I''ll be home with you every day." "Well, what a pity! I have not been to uncle Louis¡¯ home. He said you can take me there to y." The little one had a regretful face. Violet''s heart shed with unknown emotions, "Well, I¡¯ll tell you a story." "Okay." Violet leaned over the bed and softly told the bedtime story. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. The little one slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully. Outside in the living room. Josie had finished her bath and was blow-drying her hair. Seeing Violete out of the child''s room, she asked, "Erin''s asleep?" "Yeah." Violet poured herself a ss of water and sit down on a couch. Chapter 103 Chapter 103 There were a few drawings on the coffee table, and some real estate information. Violet looked surprised, "Josie, are you looking for a house?" "I''m looking for a store!" Josie turned the hair dryer off, "Erin is in school, so I can start a business too." Violet''s eyes lit up, "What do you want to do? Design clothes?" Josie studied fashion design in college. She hadn''t really had her own business yet because she was married and then raised her kid for herself. "Um." Josie fixed her wavy hairs, "I''m going to do personal tailoring." At that moment, Violet came closer and took her hand, "Josie, I''m really grateful and sorry. If it wasn''t for me, maybe you would have a sessful career." Josie pped her hand away, "Don''t be sarcastic! Erin is not a burden. She''s the one who cures me! Besides, you and Evie have made a lot of money for me over the years, so I''m happy." Her bosom friend was such a cheerful and atmospheric woman. Violet hugged her and restrained herself from crying. "I forgot to tell you. Today the staff of Pce Hotel came over to talk to me about cooperation. Let Tasty Interlude Bakery to start supplying pastries tomorrow!" Josie pushed Violet away and threw a wink, "Do you think it could be your ex-husband''spensation Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. for you? Otherwise, how can such a small bakery like ours take on such a big order?" Hearing this, Violet was a little surprised. Indeed, she didn''t expect Pce Hotel toe forward to ask for cooperation. Was it really Louis''pensation for her? "Don''t make a wild guess. Tasty Interlude Bakery may be small, but it''s good in quality. She didn''t want to make a fool of herself. Louis was still angry with her. How can he give her suchpensation? "Violet, tell me the truth. Is there possibility that you don''t want to let go?" "Josie, you really are too idle. Hurry up and find your store." "Don''t change the subject! Tell me quickly." "......" The next day. In front of the noble kindergarten. Luxury cars were parked at the roadside. Adults were holding their children and dropping them off to the kindergarten teachers. "Erin , get off the car." Violet carried her daughter and kissed her little cheeks, "Be good at school." "Mommy, Josie mommy, pick up Erin early this afternoon. Don''t leave Erin at school." The little one hooked Violet''s neck and raised her voice. "Sure." Violet pinched the tip of the little one''s nose and prepared to hand her over to the teacher. "Huh, it''s daddy, and Luka. Mommy, put me down now." Erin''s little body moved, and before Violet could react, she struggled off and ran toward the side. "Daddy, Luka." Not far away, Louis was walking towards the kindergarten, holding Luka''s hand, with Grace behind them. Luka''s little mouth was pursed and his face was full of resistance. When he heard Erin''s sound, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth curved up. It was that cute little Erin! Did she go to school here too? Great! Louis also recognized Erin, who rushed over to him, and raised his eyebrows, with a soft smile in his eyes. He let go of Luka''s hand and caught Erin''s little body. "Erin, it''s been a long time!" "Daddy, I missed you so much." Erin gave Louis a kiss on the cheek, expressing her love for him. Louis'' heart was soft. There was an inexplicable sense of trance as if Erin was his own daughter. Grace''s eyes widened behind them and her fingers tugged. Wasn¡¯t this child Violet''s daughter? How could she call Louis ¡°daddy¡±? Chapter 104 Chapter 104 "Erin,e down. Don''t make nonsense." Josie and Violet hurried over, and Josie reached out and took Erin from Louis'' hands. The two were not expecting to meet Louis, and the little one was calling him ¡°daddy¡±. Erin spat out her little tongue, smiled ingratiatingly at Josie and Violet, and twisted her little body to get down. Josie red at her and put her down. Sweeping her eyes over Louis, she smiled, "Mr. Johnson, Miss Harper, what a coincidence." Louis gave a slight nod and his eyes went to Violet who was greeting Luka. "Luka, good morning! Auntie hasn''t had a chance to thank you for saving Erin at the mallst time ." Luka looked at her and then at Erin , "Auntie, no need to thank me. Little Erin is very cute." Violet curved her lips, reached out and touched his little head. "Luka, so you''re uncle Louis'' son?" Erin took Luka''s hand and shed her big eyes. Luka nced at Louis and nodded. Louis was now staring at Violet with a burning gaze. There were unreadable emotions in his eyes. He heard from his grandmother that his son would only speak in front of Violet. And he just heard Luka''s voice with his own ears! Grace on the side looked at Luka with a shocked face. Due to her inattentiveness, Luka gradually became silent from his initial liveliness until he lost his words. She thought Luka needed to see a psychiatrist before he could return to normal. She did not expect him to speak when he faced Violet. Violet was a potential danger ...... "Luka, did you save Erin ?" Louis asked in a soft voice as he bent slightly. Luka nodded and did not speak. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Grace on the side stepped forward and took Luka, "Louis,st time you apanied me and Luka to buy something at the mall. Luka saw a human trafficker trying to carry Erin away , so he saved her by chance." So that was it! Louis gave Luka an appreciative look. His eyes fell on Erin''s face again, and inexplicably felt that the two children were very simr. They were as cute and delicate as a pair of twins. "Louis, it''s gettingte. Let''s get Luka into kindergarten." Grace smiled gently and tried to pull the two children''s hands apart. Luka frowned, held Erin''s small hand tightly and headed towards the kindergarten. "Bye uncle Louis. Bye Angel mommy. Bye Josie mommy!" Erin smiled cheerfully and waved to a few people, pulling Luka along and chattering about something. Grace''s smile froze and ckness shed in her eyes, but it was transient. A few adults followed the two children and watched as they were led to the school by the teacher. "Wow, those two kids look so cute! They are twins, right?" "Don''t talk nonsense. Can''t you see that''s Mr. Johnson behind them? That''s Mr. Johnson''s son." "Yeah, I didn''t care! But the two kids really look like twins!" "Who is that little girl?" "......" The sound of two parents talking came to his ears. Louis listened to them and his eyes slightly moved. Twins! It seemed that the onlookers'' vision was very simr to his own. His eyes were fixed on Violet who turned away after dropping off the child without even saying hello to him. For Erin and Violet''s rtionship, he had always had doubts ... Chapter 105 Chapter 105 "Louis, let me pick up Luka today." Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Grace took Louis''s arm and nced at the two parents who had just been there, wanting nothing more than to pull the tongues out of the two. Louis'' eyebrows knitted lightly and his eyes swept coolly over her arm that hade up around him. Grace''s smile froze and she awkwardly let go of his hand. "Louis, I''m sorry. A lot of people are watching. I''m just doing my job." It was a reminder to him that they had just been in the news, so there was still a need for him to make himself look like an affectionate man. Louis didn''t say anything, but glowered at her and took a big step forward. Grace''s fingers squeezed tightly and followed quickly. In the car, Violet watched Louis and Grace get into the car one after the other. Their car drove off but Violet felt a little stuffy. She opened the car window and breathed in the fresh air outside. "Violet, is Louis'' son a bit autistic?" Josie started the car and spoke up. Violet rolled the window up, "Yes." Josie was surprised, "Didn''t you notice? He just spoke up when he was facing you!" Violet thought about it, and it did. In Balridge Mano, he only spoke when he was standing beside her. There was a feeling of pity and softness in her heart for no reason. "Violet, why do I feel this child is closer to you?" Josie said again. Violetughed, "I think it''s because I had Erin, and I smells like milk." "You can still exin it that way?" "Or what?" ...... The kitchen of Pce Hotel. Evie directed the transporters to bring the pastries into the kitchen. "Miss Williams, the pastries are all ready?" Ivan inquired as he came into the kitchen. "Yes, here''s the delivery order." Evie handed the order to Ivan. Thinking of something, she pointed to a few varieties of pastries and said, "Mr. Ivan, these pastries are the new vors. We add a lot of new ingredients in them. So, special notes of the main ingredients should be made when disying. Just to prevent some people from being allergic." Ivan nodded his head after listening, "Tasty Interlude Bakery really lives up to its name and is very cautious in its work." "Thanks for thepliment." Evie smiled, and the two of them chatted for a few more minutes. Surprise shed in Evie''s eyes when she heard that it was Louis who named them as the first partner. Was it because of her sister? When she finished unloading the goods, Evie left by car. A few momentster, Grace came over. "Mr. Ivan, did Tasty Interlude Bakery just deliver the pastries?" "Yes, Ms. Grace." Ivan was holding the supply list in his hand and praised, "Mr. Johnson''s vision is unique. Although Tasty Interlude Bakery is small in scale, it is good in quality and careful in its work. Their manager even reminded me not to forget to make a note of the main ingredients of these new products when disying." "Oh? Really?" Grace pretended to be interested, took the supply list and looked at it , then gave it back to Ivan. "I hope this Bakery will live up to Louis''s expectations and keep the quality." "Yes yes." "......" Grace and Ivan exchanged a few pleasantries, then turned to leave. She came to the housekeeping department, and went into the office to check the information of the residents in the past two days. When she saw the name of a VIP, the corners of her mouth were turned upwards. Chapter 106 Chapter 106 Violet received a phone call from Josie in the afternoon. "Violet, I can''t get away from here. Are you free? If you''re, go pick up Erin." Violet''s eyes shed with surprise, "Okay, I''ll go pick up Erin. Josie, what happened to you?" Julia''s scene was not too many today, so she was able to finish her work early. But Josie surprised her. She wouldn''t have no time to pick up Erin if she didn''t have particrly important thing. "Nothing happened to me, but Tasty Interlude Bakery. I''m on my way to the hospital with Evie." What? Violet was shocked, "What''s going on?" "Well, one of the guests at the Pce Hotel had an asthma after eating one of our pastries. He is now in the hospital. I''m here with Evie and the manager of the Pce Hotel." Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. So that was what happened. Violet was panicked and hung up the phone. They had never encountered such a problem like this since its opening. What was going on? Violet looked at the time and decided to go pick up Erin first and then contact Josieter. Violet drove to the entrance of the kindergarten, and the roadside was already full of cars parked. Violet parked her car and it was time for the kindergarten to be dismissed. The school door opened and children came out happily. Violet stood on tiptoe and saw from afar that her daughter was holding Luka''s hand and walking out of the school with a smile on her face. "Erin , Luka." Violet called out and greeted her. "Mommy." Erin smiled cheerfully and ran over. Violet caught her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Erin gave her a kiss too and hugged her neck. "Hello, Violet." Luka greeted Violet. Watching their interaction, he felt a little bit jealous. "Hello Luka." Violet stroked his soft hair and smiled gently. "Mommy, Luka invited me to his house. Can I go there?" Erin looked at Violet with an expectant face. Violet froze and was about to speak when a woman''s voice came from behind her. "Luka." Violet looked back and saw that it was Grace who hade to pick up Luka. Grace looked at her with not friendly expression. Violetpressed her lips and took Erin''s hand. "Not today. Josie mommy has something to deal with and we have to go see her." "Oh, okay." Erin was a little disappointed, but answered in a good manner. She looked at Luka, "Luka, I can''t go today. Maybe next time." The same disappointment shed across Luka''s face. He wanted to eat Violet''s interesting meals. He wanted to spend time with her and Erin. "Luka, we''ll go first." Violet smiled slightly. She looked at Grace again, gave her a polite nod, and took Erin by the hand as she prepared to leave. Grace''s voice came again. "Miss Elliott, since you''ve already divorced Louis, it''s not a good idea to make excuses to go to Balridge Manor again." Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Violet stopped dead in her tracks and looked back at her. Grace took Luka''s hand, "Miss Elliott, I appreciate your quitting. Now that you''ve divorced, don''t use your child as a shield to get close to Louis again." The woman had a fake smile on her face. She looked weak superficially, but her words were extremely sarcastic. She was not a simple woman. Violet''s expression froze. "Miss Harper, I am a frank and honest person. Whether I go to Balridge Manor or not has nothing to do with Louis and nothing to do with you. Using my child as a shield? You''re overthinking it." Grace heard that Erin wanted to go to Balridge Manor and thought she encouraged Erin to do so? That was so absurd. Violet finished her words, picked up Erin and walked away. Behind her, Grace''s fingers tightened and her face turned cold. Luka was grabbed by her hand and shook her off in pain. Grace returned to her senses and knelt down to take hold of his shoulders. "Luka, do you like them both a lot?" Luka stared at Grace''s sullen face without saying a word. Grace said coldly, "Luka, remember who is your mom! I''m your mom." Luka''s little brow knitted up and his mouth shut as pain shot through his shoulders. Grace stared at him and softened her tone, "Luka, all the kids in kindergarten have a daddy and a mommy. Don''t you want to be with your daddy and mommy?" Grace had to start with Luka and got herself married into the Johnson Family as soon as possible. Grace paused, "Luka, you wereughed because you didn''t have a father. Do you want to be a child without a mother again? Be a good boy. Go back and tell your dad that you miss me and want to live with me, okay?" Luka looked at her motionlessly, without saying a word. The irritation in Grace''s heart kept growing. "Luka, talk! Don''t you know how to talk? Why don''t you say anything in front of me?" After she raised him for four years, howe he was still not intimate with her?! Luka''s little mouth waspressed, but he didn''t say a word. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. At this time, the driver arrived. "Miss Harper, it''s gettingte. Can we go now?" Grace suppressed her inner anger, and her face changed back to a gentle expression. She straightened Luka''s clothes and took his hand, "Let''s go, Luka." This will not work. She had to go see Maria, the old Mrs. Johnsonter. Luka''s small mouthpressed as he looked ahead into the void, and something shed in his dark eyes. Why did he like aunt Violet more than his own mommy, and want to be with her more? ...... Violet drove the car to the hospital. On the VIP floor, she took Erin''s hand and walked towards a ward after inquiring from a nurse. "Mr. Ivan, the service of Pce Hotel is so disappointing. It is a six-star hotel. Why would you choose such a small-scale bakery to cooperate with? Did you take a bribe from them?" " Lily, you really wronged me. Tasty Interlude Bakery is small, but it has a good reputation in Crotosi City." "Good reputation? Good enough to hospitalize my nephew?" "This ......" Outside the door, Violet eavesdropped, knocked on the door and pushed it in. There were quite a few people standing in the ward. Violet had asked Josie for details before she came here. Coincidentally, the person who developed asthma from eating pastries was the nephew of the head of the kindergarten, Lily. The little one was only three or four years old and was on an IV. Standing next to him was a woman in her fifties or sixties, Lily''s aunt. They were not from Crotosi City, and they came here just for a visit. It didn''t expect that the child would have asthma from eating a piece of pastry. Chapter 108 Chapter 108 "Ms. Lily." Violet said hello to Lily. Lily recognized Violet and gave a nonchnt ¡°hmm¡±. "Hello, Ms. Lily." Little Erin, who followed her in, also called out in an naive voice. Lily''s expression eased slightly, "School''s out?" "Yeah." Erin answered, with her big eyes looking towards the sickbed. The little man on the bed seemed to be in good spirits. He was trying to get up from the bed, pouting. "Don''t move, otherwise, the nurse will give you an injection on the other hand." The middle-aged woman on the side hastened to hold him. The little one''s mouth was ttened and howled out, "No more injection. I want to go home. I want to go out and y!" "Good boy, wait a little longer. It will be ready soon." Lily rushed to soothe him. "No, no, no, no!" the little one howled even louder. The middle-aged woman and Lily looked at each other, and their faces were full of anxiety. This little guy was usually active and won''t stay in the bed. At that moment, Erin broke Violet''s hand and walked over to the bed. "Don''t cry! You can go out and y after the shot. Here''s a candy bar for you." The little man in the bed stopped crying at the sound of Erin''s voice. With tears on his face, he looked at Erin and said, "It''s not fun here." "Then I''ll y with you, okay?" Erin tilted her head and asked in an naive voice. "Uh-huh,e up here." The little one patted the side of his bed and gestured for Erin toe up. Erin nced at Violet and asked with her eyes. Violet''s eyes blinked and she looked at Lily first, "Lily, why don''t you let Erin y with the little one for a while?" Can it consider that her daughter did them a little favor? At least she calmed the little one, so that Lily and the woman wouldn''t transfer their angers on them because of impatience. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Lily and the woman looked at each other and coughed lightly, "Then, please." "No bother." Violet curled her lips and carried Erin to the bed. Erin sat beside the little one, patiently apanying him like a little adult, gabbing childishly with him. The middle-aged woman sighed in relief and stayed to watch the two. Violet looked over at Josie and winked at her. Josie understood and said, "Lily, I''m really sorry for you and for the little one. But the quality of our pastry is absolutely guaranteed. What happened today was totally an ident." "Yes Lily, today is our first time the Bakery supplies pastries to Pce Hotel. I have made special notes on the ingredients of each new product. For example, the pastry that the little one is eating contains mango. It should be written on thebel." Evie hastily echoed. "What you''re saying is that I was too careless and took the wrong pastry. And I caused my son to have asthma because of it?" The woman''s brows knitted up in dissatisfaction. "That''s not what we meant." Josie hurriedly spoke up, "We will definitely look into this matter and give you an exnation." The woman and Lily looked at each other, and their faces did not look good. Violet spoke at the side, "Lily, thisdy, no matter what, the boy had an ident because of the pastry. So if you have any requests, please feel free to mention them. I hope you can forgive us this time." Hearing these words, Lily''s face eased slightly, "We are not unreasonable people. But when a child suffers, adults will be more heartbroken." Chapter 109 Chapter 109 "Yes, yes, I have kid too, so I can understand very well. If something happened to Erin today, I''ll be more upset than you guys." Josie hastily repeated what Violet said. Violet''s eyes moved slightly, then said, "Yes, Ms. Lily, in order to express our apologies, in addition to the hospital expenses andpensation, if the school needs makeup artists for future performances, I can do the children''s makeup for free." With her words, Lily''s eyes lit up and she gave a nce at Violet, which made her originally tense expression ease up even more. Seeing this, Ivan hurriedly said, "Lily, the hotel is also responsible for what happened today. How about I will upgrade the suite for the little kid and madam. At the same time, their food and amodation at the Pce Hotel will be free for the next few days. What do you think?" Hearing this, Lily and the woman nced at each other, and satisfaction appeared on each other''s faces. "Since the kid isn''t seriously ill, then let it be." Lily made the decision. Violet nced at Josie and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison. Luckily, there was no danger, and things finally worked out. Just ...... "Mr. Ivan, can I have a word with you?" There was one more thing she needed to clear up. Ivan went out of the ward with Violet, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and also let out a long breath. "Miss Elliott, what can I help you?" She was the former Mrs. Johnson, whom he recognized. "Mr. Ivan, I would like to ask, after the delivery, when the hotel staff sent out the samples, did they post the relevant ingredients of the new products or not?" The little kid was allergic to mango but mistakenly consumed the pastry containing mango ingredients, thus triggering asthma. She had to find out the reason. Ivan was a little apologetic, "I have asked the few employees on duty before I came here. They did post the relevant ingredients of the pastries, but I don''t know who is so careless and puts thebel in the wrong ce." So that was it! The mistake was made by the hotel staff. Fortunately, the matter was resolved sessfully. "Mr. Ivan, the hotel staff''s quality still needs to be improved." "Yes, I will deal with this matter seriously." "Then all the expenses incurred by the little kid''s hospitalization should be borne by the hotel." "Yes." ...... Balridge Manor. Grace carried Luka out of the car. Seeing a servant who came out to greet her, she said, "Please inform for me. I want to see the old Mrs. Johnson." With her words, the servant had a difficult look on his face. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. "Miss Harper, the old Mrs. Johnson is not well and doesn''t like to see any guests." "I''m not someone else. I''m Luka''s real mother. I really want to see the old Mrs. Johnson. Please inform for me." Grace held Luka tightly in her arms, as if she would not let Luka go back if the servant did not inform for her. The servant looked at Luka''s frowning little brow and gave a wink to the other servant. The other one quickly went into the house. "Miss Harper, please hand the young master over to me first." the servant spoke respectfully. Grace bit her lips without moving, "I am Luka''s mother. I will take Luka in myselfter." The servant frowned slightly, and his old eyes shed with dislike. A few momentster, the servant came out. He whispered in the old servant''s ear, and the servant looked at Grace, "Sorry Miss Harper, the old Mrs. Johnson said that Balridge Mano is not for everyone. Please go back." Such a blunt refusal made Grace''s face stiffen and her eyes redden. "I''m Luka''s real mother. Why won''t the old Mrs. Johnson see me?" "Miss Harper, please let the young master go home." Without answering her question, the servant signaled for the other toe forward and take Luka away. Grace hugged Luka tightly, "Luka, mommy can''t leave you. Will youe with mommy?" Chapter 110 Chapter 110 Luka was extremely ufortable with Grace''s arms around him, and his little brow was wrinkled even tighter. The old servant''s face didn''t look too good, "Miss Harper, he is the Johnson Family''s son. Please let go of the little young master." The servant had stepped forward and nonchntly pulled Grace away and took Luka into his hands. "You can''t do this. this is my son. I want to see the old Mrs. Johnson." Grace, in tears, tried to go in after him, but was shut out of the door. "Luka!" Grace called out falsely until she could see no one, and then she put away the sad look on her face. That old hag was really hard to deal with! And her little brat didn''t react at all! At this time, her cell phone rang. She nced at it, and her eyes shed. It was Ivan''s call. "Mr. Ivan." "Ms. Grace, for the guest of Suite 8066, the matter has been satisfactorily resolved. But I took the liberty ofmitting to upgrade the suite for the guest. I''ll have to trouble you to arrange someone to change the roomter." Ivan''s respectful voice was heard over the phone. Grace raised her eyebrows slightly, "Already solved? Mr. Ivan''s efficiency is quite high." "No. It''s not done by me alone." Ivan gave an approximate ount of what happened in the ward. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Grace''s eyes shed and said, "Mr. Ivan, although the matter is sessfully resolved, it has caused quite a impact on our hotel''s reputation. I think we should cancel the cooperation of Tasty Interlude Bakery." "This ......" Ivan hesitated, "Ms. Grace, this is not their fault. And if we cancel the cooperation with them, we won''t be able to serve pastries in time." "Mr. Ivan, the scale of that Bakery is still too small. If our VIP customers know it, they will wonder if our hotel is nning to downgrade. I think it''s more appropriate to cooperate with bakery of time-honored brand." Grace gently persuaded, and Ivan asked, "You mean to continue working with Rydon Food? But they''ve made mistakes. Not to mention Mr. Johnson''s word ..." "Rydon Food has made a mistake once and will definitely learn from it. As for Louis ..." Grace paused, "I am the future Mrs. Johnson. I will talk to him about this. Just do what I told you to." She had made up her mind and Ivan naturally had nothing to say and obeyed her order. After hanging up the phone, Grace''s eyes shed with triumph. The hotel had a detailed profile of every VIP guests, so she took the advantage of the boy who was allergic to mangoes. It just so happened that one of the new pastries delivered by Tasty Interlude Bakery contained mango powder. So she took the opportunity to inspect the work and changed thebel. And sure enough, it happened as expected. Now she had an excuse to kick Tasty Interlude Bakery out and let Rydon Food in again! "Miss Harper, do I need to take you back now?" The driver waited for a long time and couldn''t resist urging. Grace returned to her senses, fixed her hair, and got into the car. Her eyes fell on the manor once again. Narrowing her eyes, she looked malicious. Maria, the old Mrs. Johnson wouldn''t let her in, so she''d have to do something about it. Balridge Manor. Maria finished listening to the servant''s report and pulled Luka to her side. "Luka, do you me grandma for kicking your mommy out?" At that moment, Lukapressed his little mouth and slowly shook his head. Grandma didn''t like Mommy. Although he didn''t understand it, he didn''t me her either. "Good boy." Mariafortingly took him into her arms and stroked his little head. "Had your mommy not been very attentive to you during these years abroad?" The boy was too cold to that woman. So cold that one would wonder if they were mother and son or not! Luka didn''t say anything, just lowered her head slightly. Maria sighed inwardly, feeling a little bit sorry for him. Chapter 111 Chapter 111 "It''s okay. You''ll have your grandma and dad to love you henceforward." She still needed to find him a mother who loved him! ...... Tasty Interlude Bakery. "What are you saying? Cancel our cooperation? Mr. Ivan, you can''t do that, can you? What happened today is not our fault isn''t it?" Josie received Ivan''s call and shouted at once. Violet and Evie, who were ying with Erin at the side, looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces froze. After Josie hung up the phone, Violet asked, "What''s going on? The Pce Hotel wants to cancel our contract?" "Yes! It''s too much!" Josie was furious, "He said that no matter what, it was our pastry that went wrong, and said it wasn''t his decision alone." Hearing this, Evie, who was unconvinced, said, "Pce Hotel is at least a big hotel. How can they do things so casually? I think it''s probably because their executives didn''t get any benefits from us, so they deliberately targeted us." After a pause, she looked at Violet, "Violet, let''s go and talked to Louis. Ivan said it was Louis'' words that gave us the opportunity to work with the Pce Hotel. As long as he gives the word again, will his people dare disobey?" To talk to Louis? Louis? Violet''s eyes moved slightly, and a trace of astonishment shed in her eyes. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. So it was Louis'' decision that they could work with the Pce Hotel? "Violet, Evie has a point, look at ..." Josie raised her eyebrows and looked at Violet. Violet lost her smile, "Well, don''t think about it. Let''s just say, there are no free lunches in life. To cooperate with Pce Hotel''s is not something we can bear after all." Go talk to Louis again? She didn''t want to! "All right, if you don''t want to, forget it." Josie didn''t push her, but said after thinking for a while, "I''m just curious. Since we all know we are Louis'' chosen partner, who would be so bold as to cancel our partnership?" Yes! Who could it be? Violet pondered. A person''s image shed in her mind, and shepressed her lips. Maybe she was overthinking it. ...... The next day. Pce Hotel. Violet went to the kitchen of the hotel when she had some time. She couldn''t be indifferent to the cancetion. She wanted to know which one was now supplying pastries to the Pce Hotel instead of Tasty Interlude Bakery. A van came by just in time, and Violet hastily ducked into a corner. Philip got out of the van and directed the staff to unload the pastries. Rydon Food? Violet saw the overalls the staff was wearing, and her eyebrows knitted slightly. She remembered Evie had said that the reason why they could cooperate with Pce Hotel was the pastries delivered by Rydon Food had deteriorated and thus their cooperation was canceled by Pce Hotel. Howe they were working together again? "Uncle Philip." A woman walked over from a distance. In order to see the woman''s face, Violet''s eyes narrowed instantly. It was Grace! She called the head of Rydon Food, uncle Philip? "Grace, thanks to you, we''re able to work with Pce Hotel again.¡± Philip had a smile on his face. Grace fixed her hair around her ears andughed, "Uncle Philip, don''t make such a basic mistake again." "I won''t! Now you''re Mrs. Johnson. With you backing me up, why would I bother bribing anyone else?" Chapter 112 Chapter 112 Hearing the conversation between the two, Violet seemed to understand something. It was Grace who used the title of Mrs. Johnson to help Rydon Food rejoin the Pce Hotel. How could it be such a coincidence? The ident that happened yesterday was really an ident, or was it man-made? Violetpressed her red lips, saw Grace leave, and followed her at a quick pace. "Miss Harper is really good. In order to help your uncle achieve the purpose of cooperation, you did not hesitate to damage the interests of Pce Hotel." Hearing these words, Grace was startled and stopped in tracts abruptly. "It''s you. What are you talking about? I can''t understand." "You really can''t understand?" Violet stared at her, "Miss Harper, yesterday there was a child, who had asthma because he mistakenly took a pastry containing mango ingredients. You had someone change thebel of the note, right?" Grace''s face shed with panic, but she quickly regained herposure. "Miss Elliott, do you have evidence? I can sue you for nder if you don''t have." She had arranged everything without leaving any evidence. Violet wanted to swindle her? No way! Violetpressed her lips, "Miss Harper, will you be afraid if tell this to Louis? At least Tasty Interlude Bakery is his handpicked partner. You are using your power for personal gain like this. You rece us and let Rydon Food in again. Aren''t you afraid of ruining your impression in Louis''s heart?" Hearing her words, Grace''s eyes shed, "Miss Elliott, I am not only the manager of the hotel now, but also the biological mother of Luka, the future Mrs. Johnson. I can make decisions and choose suppliers for the hotel. Even if you tell Louis, he won''t do anything to me." The woman raised her chin in a provocative manner. Violet''s fingers curled up, and she felt inexplicably suffocated. Yes, Grace had multiple identities to protect her. On the contrary, she was just his ex-wife. Without evidence, what can she do? "Do you have any question to ask? If not, I''ll leave now." Grace saw that Violet did not say anything. The corner of her mouth were turned upwards and she turned to leave. She acted like a victor. Violet clenched her fist and didn''t say anything. At this time, her cell phone rang. Violet took it out and nced at it. It was Maria''s call. "Grandma." "Violet, are you free today? Grandma is missing your food again." Maria''s loving voice came over the receiver, and a smile shed across Violet''s eyes. She looked at Grace, who was walking away, and said, "Yes, Grandma, I''lle overter." Grace let her not find an excuse to go to Balridge Manor. If she was a woman of virtuous character, perhaps she would avoid suspicion. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. But now ...... Violet hung up the phone and sent a message to Josie to help her pick up Erin . It waste afternoon. Violet arrived at Balridge Manor. Maria lighted up with pleasure, exchanging pleasantries with her. "Violet, look, the flowers in the garden are blooming even more when youe here. If you cane every day to keep mypany, how wonderful it would be." Violet was massaging her shoulders and neck, and when she heard this, she smiled, "Grandma, I will Maria patted her hand and gestured for her to sit down. "Violet, you don''t understand. What I mean is, can you still give Louis a chance and marry him?" The olddy smiled lovingly and Violet felt warmed and apologetic at the same time. "I will treat you as my own grandmother. I''ll visit you when I can, but let us back together again, or I will be scared away." Maria was not satisfied and tried, "Violet, Louis is not bad looking and has met all the requirements. Do you really don''t like him at all? Or do you dislike him for having a child?" Violet: "......" Maria was really overthinking. Chapter 113 Chapter 113 "Mr. Johnson is very nice and I have no right to dislike him. Only, Luka has a biological mother. For the sake of his physical and mental health, I think it will be better for Luka to grow up with his own biological parents." Hearing these words, the smile on Maria''s face faded. "Luka iscking in family warmth since he was a child. He needs the love and affection of her parents. But I don''t think she is good enough to apany with Luka. If she''s a good mother, Luka will not be autistic!" Maria''s statement left Violet speechless for a moment. She didn''t think so before, but after contacting with Grace, she doubted about her character. This woman was not simple! However, no matter what, she was Luka''s real mother. This was a fact that cannot be changed. "Grandma ......" "The young master is back." A servant led Luka into the living room. Violet stopped the conversation. Luka''s eyes lit up at the sight of Violet. He ran over to Violet and raised his eyes and called out, "Violet." "Hello, Luka. School''s over?" Violet stroked his little head and sighed a little in her heart. Although his birth mother disliked her, she really liked the little boy. "Yeah." Luka nodded his head. Maria on the side pretended toin, "Luka, I''m so sad. Howe you only have Violet in your eyes and don''t even say hello to me? Is it because I''m old and not as pretty as Violet?" Violet couldn''t help butugh and put her arm around Luka, "Luka, she is jealous. Hurry up and call great-grandma." Luka was blushing, and burst out after thinking for a while, "HI, great-grandma." "Hey, good. My great-grandson." Maria finally heard him call her, and her tears of excitement filled her eyes, reinforcing what she had in mind. Only Violet can be Luka''s mother! "Luka, you sit with your great-grandmother for a while. I''ll go and cook dinner for you." Violet looked at the time and said with a smile. Luka blinked and said hesitantly , "I want to help you." Violet raised her eyebrow, interest shing in her eyes. "Go ahead and be Violet''s little helper." Maria was happy that the two could develop a bond and pushed Luka towards Violet. "Okay, Luka, what are you going to do for me?" "Washing rice, washing vegetables." "Wow, I didn''t realize Luka is such a good helper." "......" Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Maria nodded her head in satisfaction as she watched the two enter the kitchen hand in hand. At that moment, someone walked in. "Grandma, calling me back so urgently for what?" It was Louis who came back. Maria looked at him and looked towards the kitchen, "Look who''s here?" Who? Louis''s eyes moved when he heard Violet''s voice faintly. "Violet?" "Yes, I asked Violet toe over." Maria looked at the kitchen, "Louis, I''ve observed. Luka is not close to his mother, but Violet. Do you think, is this a destined fate?" Chapter 114 Chapter 114 Louis didn''t say a word, just felt a little bit strange. Maybe Grandma was right. "Well, they''re busy in the kitchen. Do you want to go join and have fun?" Maria spoke up. Louis raised his eyebrows, "Grandma, you''re letting me cook?" Since he was a child, his grandmother never let him be in the kitchen. "Why? Your son is helping out. As a father, why don''t you do the same? How interesting!" Mariaughed and scolded, "Louis, grandma will not be wrong. Violet deserves to be pursued again." Let him pursue Violet again? Louis'' eyes moved and he walked towards the kitchen. In the kitchen, a servant was washing vegetables while Violet and Luka were squatting on the floor peeling garlic. "Luka, you''re great. You can even peel the garlic, but there will be smell of garlic on your handster." "I''m not afraid." "Are you really not afraid? Smell it, does it stink?" "Violet''s hands smell good." "Ha! I didn''t expect you''re so sweet!" "......" The two were talking. Louis looked at their smiling faces, and felt tenderhearted. At this time, the servant spotted Louis'' figure and hastily called out, "Mr. Johnson is back." "Hmm." Louis nodded, and with a slight hesitation, walked over to Violet''s side and squatted down. His long fingers took a garlic and prepared to peel it. Violet was almost thunderstruck. She looked at his face with a stunned expression, and hastily pressed down his hand. "Mr. Johnson, what are you doing?" Was he mad? What was he doing in the kitchen? "Can''t you see? I''m helping you." Louis raised his eyebrows and looked straight at Violet. The two were close to each other, and their eyes reflected each other. Violet''s heartbeat was racing for no reason. She grabbed the garlic and hurriedly got up. "No, that''s enough." Louis slowly stood up, and his eyes swept over her slightly red ears. The corners of his mouth hooked up. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. She seemed to blush easily. Was it because of his proximity? "Luka, it''s okay. I''ll carry you to wash your hands." Violet put the garlic in Luka''s hand away, and then prepared to carry him to wash his hands. "I''ll do it." Louis spoke up and picked up Luka. Violet also did not force, "You help Luka wash his hands and then take him out. I want to start cooking. The cooking fumes are bad for his health." Louis nced at her, and inexplicably had the illusion of being ordered around by his wife. He helped Luka wash his hands, and carried him out of the kitchen. Violet took out a frying pan and let out a long breath when she saw they leave the kitchen. When she finished cooking, she was about to get a te but someone handed her one in time. "Thanks ..." Violet thought it was a servant, but didn''t want it to be Louis. At once, the word of ¡°thanks¡± stuck in her throat. "Mr. Johnson, why are you still here?" Was he very free today? And he even had time to watch her cook in the kitchen. "Grandma asked me toe over and help you." Louis used Maria as an excuse. Violet was speechless. What could he, a big president, do to help her? Louis didn''t know either why he came in again. Chapter 115 Chapter 115 Looking at her skillful frying movements, he thought of something and asked, "The contract between Tasty Interlude Bakery and Pce Hotel was signed, right?" That was a cooperation for her sake, and he always had to mention his importance. He wanted to see her gratitude on her face. Violet stopped cooking. Then she looked at him, and said in a light voice: "Our bakery is too small. Pce Hotel did not look up to us." He didn''t know that Tasty Interlude Bakery had been kicked out by his future Mrs. Johnson? "No way." Louis frowned and spoke up. "It''s possible." Violet put the lid on the pot, "Mr. Johnson, you are the one in charge of the Johnson Group and can appoint whoever you want. But I also hope you can keep your eyes open and suppress cronyism." Grace dared indulge in petty and mean actions behind his back and under his name. It was all because she had him backing her up. He should reflect on that. "What do you mean?" Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Violet''s sudden detached attitude, unsure of what happened. "Nothing, Mr. Johnson. I''m busy. Please go out and don''t distract me." Violet opened the lid of the pot, put some seasoning, and tasted it again. Louis was silent as he turned around and walked out of the kitchen. Then he dialed Harry. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Harry, ask Ivan, who delivers the pastries to Pce Hotel today?" Did Ivan have poorprehension or what was going on? Why didn''t he work with Tasty Interlude Bakery? It didn''t take long for Harry to return the call. "Mr. Johnson, I have already asked him. Something happened at the Pce Hotel yesterday ..." Harry told Louis exactly what happened. Louis'' eyebrows were slightly knitted, and something shed in his dark eyes. Grace actually exceeded her authority? No wonder Violet just said that to him. But why would Grace ask Ivan to work with Rydon Food again? "It''s time to eat!" Violet pulled open the kitchen door and came out with dishes. Louis temporarily suppressed his inner doubts and walked to the dining room. He saw dishes on the table and ...... "Luka, take a look. What interesting meal has Violet cooked for you today?" Maria said with a smile as she led Luka to the dining room. Luka was carried to the dining table by a servant. Looking at the cartoon meal in front of him, her eyes were full of admiration. Last time it was a robot cat. This time it was a big bear, still exquisite. Louis looked at Violet with a surprised look, "Did you make this?" He knew Violet was a good cook, but he didn''t think she had such a clever mind! "Louis, Violet is the most clever girl I''ve ever seen. Whoever lets go of such a good girl is a fool, right?" Maria sat down on the main seat and said with a smile. Louis: "......" Grandma, there was no need to praise her in this way! ...... Pce Hotel. The entrance to the luxury suite. Grace pushed a food cart, once again organized her clothes, and then raised her hand to press the doorbell. The door was opened. Grace looked at the man in front of her and smiled flirtatiously, "Sir, the meal you ordered has arrived." The man raised his eyebrows and moved to the side to facilitate Grace''s entry. As soon as the door closed, the man wrapped his arms around Grace from behind, and his hands were roaming over her body unruly. "How dare youe to see me like this?" "My dear, you are now staying in a VIP room of the Pce Hotel. As the room manager, I am supposed to serve you personally, aren''t I?" Grace turned around and hooked her hands around the man''s neck, with a charming smile on her face. The man raised his eyebrows, and pushed her against the wall. "You''re good at making excuses for yourself?" "Darling, don''t you find it exciting?" "Look at you ..." Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Balridge Manor. Violet finished her meal and was ready to go back. When she got in the driver''s seat, she found that the car wouldn''t start. "What''s going on?" Louis, who was also ready to leave, saw that Violet''s car didn''t move, got out of his car and knocked on her window. Violet rolled down the window with a depressed face, "The car seems to be broken." "Get in my car. I''ll take you back." Louis pulled the door open for her, "I''ll have your car towed and serviced." Balridge Manor was in the middle of nowhere. It was not easy to get a taxi here. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Violetpressed her lips and didn''t object to Louis'' offer. When she got into the car, she fastened her seat belt and thanked Louis. "Thanks." Louis nced at her and started the car. "Thank me? Only verbal thanks?" Violet froze and looked at him inquiringly, "How do you want me to thank you?" "Shouldn''t you give me your body?" Louis''rge hands gripped the steering wheel and returned with a serious smile. Violet: "......" President Louis would actually make such a joke with her today? It was not very funny! "Mr. Johnson, can you drop me off? I can get a taxi on my own." Louis nced at her clear eyes, and moved his lips. "Violet, grandma likes you a lot and Luka likes you a lot. How about you think about it and marry me again?" Violet: "......" He wanted her to marry him again? Was he really mad? "Mr. Johnson, the news has just gone down. Aren''t you afraid that the board of directors will make an issue of your personal affairs again?" "I will handle this matter myself. I only ask you if you want to?" He was now single and can marry whomever he wanted. Did she really think he was afraid of the board of directors? Louis looked at the road ahead, and his eyes were deep in concentration. Violet looked at the side of his face and took a deep breath. "I''m sorry, Mr. Johnson. I don''t want to." She had just gotten out of the way, and she didn''t want to step back into the wrong ce with the Johnson Family. What was more, he wanted her to marry him again just because the kid and grandma liked her? What was that? Her tone was firm. Louis'' face went cold. Was she unwilling to be with him? "Violet ..." At this time, Violet''s cell phone rang. She took out her phone and looked at it. It was Isaac''s call. Violet picked up the phone, "Hello, Isaac." "......" It was Isaac''s call! Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly and he nced at her sideways. She had a smile on her face, and was speaking softly to Isaac in a homely voice. So, the reason for her reluctance was still because of Isaac? The man she wanted to marry was Isaac? Louis'' feet made a little effort, and the car sped up like a rocket. Violet, who was on the phone, leaned back and let out a soft cry. "Violet, what''s wrong with you?" "Oh, I''m fine. It''s cold. You take care of yourself. I''ll hang up now." Violet hurriedly hung up the phone, with one hand clutching the handlebar. "Mr. Johnson, can you drive a little slower?" What was wrong with this guy? Was he nning to race? Louis looked serious, "Violet, were you in a hurry to divorce me because you want to marry Isaac?" He remembered that she had said that she had made a fool of herself to enter the Johnson Family because she wanted to live a quiet life after the divorce. So, for her, being with Isaac was the life she wanted to pursue? Chapter 117 Chapter 117 Violet didn''t know what Louis was mad about, and all she knew was that she was about to throw up now. "Mr. Johnson, this is my personal business. Can you stop for a moment?" Louis didn''t stop, but stepped on the gas anyway. Like a fish, the car nimbly crossed the cars to the left and right in one fell swoop. Violet grabbed the handlebar tightly, and her heart was in her throat. Along with her nervousness, her stomach acid was about to tumble out. Finally, the car came to a halt. Violet had no time to talk to him. Hastily, she pulled open the car door, squatted to the side of the road and vomited Until her stomach was empty, Violet gasped and stood up. Louis, the jerk! She really wanted to punch him! Boom! The car sped away again. "Louis, you son of a bitch!" Violet cursed him. She took a piece of tissue out of her bag, wiped the corner of her mouth, and went into the neighborhood. What a lunatic! Why didn''t he leave her halfway but drop her off at the entrance of the neighborhood? In the car, Louis looked at Violet''s smaller and smaller figure in the rear-view mirror, and his anger slowly receded. He pulled the car to the side, took out a pack of cigarettes, and lit one of them. The smoke blurred his handsome face. What was going on here? Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. When did he be a person who can hardly retain hisposure? Louis exhaled a mouthful of smoke rings, and his dark eyes were sunken. When a cigarette was finished, his mood had been restored to calm. Suddenly, he thought of something, then took out his cell phone and made a phone call. ¡°Grace, are you in the apartment?¡± "Louis, you''re going back, right? I''ll be right there." Louis hung up the phone and started the car. On the other end of the phone, Grace got up from a man''s arms with a flustered look on her face. "Louis is going to the apartment. I have to go back right away." The man had a ss of wine in his hand and was looking at herzily with an evil look on his face. "Calm down a little. Wrap yourself up tightly. Don''t let him discover." "I know." Grace got dressed, leaned down and kissed the man''s face, "Honey, wait for my good news. I''ll make your dreame true as soon as possible." "Mmm." The man took a sip of the wine, and his eyes were full of maliciousness. ...... Apartment. After Louis waited for a while, Grace came back. "Louis, are you waiting for me?" Grace saw Louis standing by the window with his hands in his pockets and rushed over. Louis nced at her, "Where have you been?" "I''ve been busy at the hotel." Grace''s eyes flickered slightly and she coughed lightly. Louis saw that she was wearing a high-cored shirt and her face was still flushed. He frowned. "You''re not feeling well?" "No, I just returned from abroad, so I''m unustomed to the climate here yet." Grace deliberately coughed lightly again and changed the subject, "Louis, please sit down. I''ll go make you a cup of coffee." Louis did not speak, but sat down on a sofa. Somehow, he can smell the odor from her body, mixed with faint smell of tobo that belonged to male. Why was there tobo¡¯s smell on her body? Louis''s dark eyes narrowed slightly in thought. "Louis, please try it." Grace made a cup of coffee and handed it to Louis. Louis nced at her, picked up the cup and took a sip. "How is it?" "It''s okay." Louis returned in a light voice and put the coffee down, "Are you still used to the work in the housekeeping department?" "Yes." Grace returned in a good-natured manner. "Just received a male guest at the hotel?" Chapter 118 Chapter 118 Grace''s heart was racing and she swallowed hard when she made a eye contact with the man''s dark eyes. "Yes, the hotel just had a male VIP guest. He is quite picky, so I have to served him myself. Louis, how do you know?" Could he be spying on her? Louis body leaned back slightly, "You smell of smoke." So that was it! Grace became so uptight and tried, "Louis, do you mind if I receive male guests? If you do mind ..." "It''s your job. I won''t interfere." Louis waved his hand and looked at her, "I came here today because I have another things to ask you." "What is it?" Grace asked with a sigh of relief and a smile. "Were you the one who got Rydon Food back as a partner of Pce Hotel?" Grace froze, and her fingers were tugging tight. He knew that so quickly? Hadn''t she hinted to Ivan that he didn''t have to report this to Louis? Had Violet tipped him off? "Yes." Grace lowered her eyes slightly in response. "Why?" Louis looked at her, and his eyes were deep in concentration. "It''s because I think Rydon Food is the old partner of Pce Hotel. So I can''t dismiss it because of one mistake. It will disappoint them." Grace exined in a soft voice. Louis didn''t say anything, but his sharp eyes looked like he wanted to see through her. Grace bit her lip and raised her eyes to look at him, "Louis, in fact, the head of Rydon Food Philip is my uncle. He used to be very good to me, so I can''t bear to see him lose the cooperation. That''s why I suggested Ivan to cooperate with them again." Louis narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "So, you created an incident in order to get Rydon Food to work with Pce Hotel again? So that Tasty Interlude Bakery would be out?" Hearing this, Grace''s eyes widened, "I didn''t, Louis. You can''t wrongly use me!" Louis didn''t say anything. Just his deep eyes looked directly at her with a hint of scrutiny. Grace''s eyes were red, "Louis, I can swear to God that I didn''t do anything like that. And if I tell a lie, I¡¯ll kill myself! The woman looked aggrieved and stoic, and made a vicious oath. Then his scrutinizing look slightly subsided. "Grace, in the business world, I hate it when people use their power for personal gain. This time, for your sake, I''ll give Philip a chance, and it won''t happen again." She got away with it! Grace was overjoyed and quickly thanked him, "Thank you Louis." Louis took out his cell phone and dialed Harry''s number. "Harry, tell Ivan to inform Tasty Interlude Bakery that the cooperation will continue as usual. Also, tell Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. him. He is in charge of the hotel. And he has to have his own opinion and judgment. If he is influenced by others again, he can leave." These words were a disguised warning to Ivan that he should be scrupulous in separating public from private interests. It was also a disguised warning to Grace not to overstep her authority. Grace bit her lip and lowered her eyes slightly to hide her anger. Tasty Interlude Bakery was still in the game. It was a small bakery. Louis did it because of Violet? After Louis hung up the phone, Grace raised her eyes to look at him. "Louis, do you regret the divorce?" Louis'' hand on the phone paused and his eyes moved. Grace''s eyes were shining with tears, "I went to Balridge Manor, but Maria stopped me at the door. Does she want you and Miss Elliott to remarry? Want her to be Luka''s stepmother?" What she said made Louispress his lips without speaking. Grace pinched herself hard and tears fell down from her eyes. "Louis, I''m not saying Miss Elliott is not good. But Luka is my son. I can''t live without him. If you want to remarry her, then give me Luka and I''ll take him out of here." Hearing this, Louis nced at her and said in a deep voice, "Luka is my son. There is no way I will let you take him away." Chapter 119 Chapter 119 "But if you remarry her. Sooner orter you will have child. Louis, I''m Luka''s real mother. Only a real mother can be good to her child." Grace covered her mouth and whimpered. Louis'' thin lips werepressed and his eyes were dark. He admitted that what she said was not unreasonable. In most cases, only biological mothers will be good to their children. But ... "Grace, how did you and Luka live abroad?" Hearing these words, Grace''s crying stopped abruptly. "Louis, Luka and I are dependent on each other abroad and have been living on my aunt''s relief." Why did he suddenly ask her such a question? "Did you usually interact with Luka?" Louis looked at Grace and his eyes became cold and sharp again. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. "Hmm, yes." "If you interacted with him frequently, why is he still autistic? Even when facing you, he doesn''t talk as much. Instead, when he faces Violet, he speaks a lot." The man looked directly at her, and his eyes were dark and heavy. Cold sweat seeped down from Grace''s back and she swallowed unconsciously. She hastily lowered her eyes to keep from meeting his eyes. Her mind was whirling. After pondering for a long time, she once again covered her mouth and cried: "I''m sorry Louis. I''m the one who put Luka in this situation. I didn''t want this child of unknown origin at that time. So I gave up on myself when I was pregnant and refused to eat properly. Only after Luka was born did he be autistic due to malnutrition." She looked up the reasons before why children got autism. This exnation made sense. I can''t live without him, or I''ll die." The woman was in tears, with a weak and helpless look. Louis'' thin lipspressed. Thinking that this was all because of him, he suddenly felt a little bit guilty. He took some tissue papers and handed them to her. his tone became softened, "Don''t cry. I told you, you are Luka''s real mother. No one can separate you from him." Grace took the tissues and wiped her tears off, whispering, "But Maria doesn''t like me. She likes Violet more, right?" Louis wrinkled his eyebrows. Thinking of Violet''s attitude towards him, he felt a little annoyed. "Well, it''s gettingte. You¡¯d rest early. We''ll talk about this tomorrow." For his grandma''s fondness for Violet, she did not appreciate it, did she? Louis left in stride. Grace''s face changed, and exhaled with relief. Finally, Louis had been fooled by her. But he didn''t promise to marry her. It seemed that she still cannot ignore Violet! ...... Josie''s apartment. Violet looked at her daughter who was sitting obediently at a desk drawing, and her eyes shed with surprise. It was really good for Erin to go to school. It can make her lively and active daughter settle down. "Mommy, look! This is my drawing of you. Is it pretty?" Erin took the finished drawing and handed it to Violet. Violet: "..." Sorry, she can''t read this kind of abstract painting. "Nice, Erin. That''s great!" Violet kissed the little one''s little cheeks, andplimented against her will. "Luka taught me." The little one leaned into Violet''s arms, "Luka is really good! He can draw, write, and do arithmetic. Well, he can do everything except not talking. The teacher even said that he and I look like twins. Mommy, what is ¡®twins¡¯?" Chapter 120 Chapter 120 Hearing her daughter''s question, Violet smiled and exined, "Twins are two little babies thate out of their mommy''s tummy together." She also thought that her daughter and Luka looked a bit alike. And both of them resembled Louis a little bit. Otherwise she and Josie wouldn''t go for gic testing on a whim in the first ce. It was just a pity that ... "Mommy, did Ie out of your tummy?" Erin blinked and asked dumbly. Violet froze and nodded, "Yes." Anyway, she had divorced Louis, so Erin''s identity didn''t need to be hidden anymore. "Well, it would be nice if Luka was born out of my mommy''s tummy too." Erin cocked her little head with a look of regret. Violet stroked her little head, and a trace of sadness shed in her eyes. She did give birth to two babies that year, and if the other baby was still alive, it would be twins! "Violet, I just feel speechless about Pce Hotel." Josie called out exaggeratedly in the doorway of Erin¡¯s room. Violet left her daughter y by herself and then walked out. "What''s wrong?" "Ivan just called me again and said we should continue serving pastries from tomorrow. Do you think it''s crazy for a big hotel to have such erratic management?" Josie said as she shook her phone. Violet froze, and just felt it strange. Their pastries could enter the Pce Hotel again? Did Louis give the order again? "Violet, when Maria told you to go to Balridge Manor today, did you tell Louis off and then he gave an order ..." "No." Violet interrupted Josie, "I didn''t do anything. I guess it must be because our pastries taste good and some customers want to eat them. That''s why Ivan will work with us again." Louis, that temperamental person, wouldn''t bother with such a trivial matter. "Is that so?" "It''s definitely true." "......" Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. The next day. Pce Hotel. "Helena, I''ve received an invitation from Sunlite Model Contest to be the special guest. How about you? Did you get the notice yet?" David took a call and asked Violet, who was packing her makeup bag. Violet froze and was about to say no when her phone rang. After she answered the phone, a nice female voice came on the line. She had to go to the TV station on Friday to discuss the details of makeups for the Sunlite Model Contest with a few superiors. Violet was delighted and thanked her repeatedly. After hanging up the phone, Violet looked at David, "David, I got the notice too. Thank you." For his rmendation. "Don''t thank me. Thank Louis if you want. He''s the one who made the decision." David waved his hand, smiling profoundly. Violetpressed her lips, recalling that party. She inexplicably felt an upsurge of emotions. Louis had said he would sponsor the Sunlite Model Contest in order to make her the makeup director. She owed him a favor. But he was voluntary. No one begged him to do it. Maybe he had regretted it now. "I''m going to the bathroom." Violet suppressed her tumultuous thoughts and quickly went to the bathroom. When she came out, she bumped into Grace, who was alsoing to the bathroom. Violet went to the sink and turned on the faucet to wash her hands. "Miss Elliott, your bakery is back in the cooperation with the hotel, right?" Chapter 121 Chapter 121 Grace was washing her hands. Looking at Violet in the mirror, her eyes rolled. Violet washed her hands as well, looked at her, and said in a light voice, "Yes." Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Grace straightened her hair around her ear, "Speaking of which, you have to thank me for that.¡± ¡°I suggested to Louis to cooperate with your bakery again. Louis said he wanted to do things the right way, but I didn''t think it would be easy for everyone. And, you''re Louis'' ex-wife. I said I wanted to thank you for the divorce. That''s why he agreed." Grace lifted her chin in a patronizing manner. Violetpressed her lips and pulled out a paper towel. After she finished wiping her hands, she tossed them into a trash can. "Is that so? Louis knew you were using your power for personal gain. And that''s why he continues to work with us, right?" "Of course not." Graceughed softly, "If he really med me, he wouldn''t continue to coborate with Rydon Food!" After saying that, Grace went into the bathroom. Violet''s red lips were pursed, and she felt the anger growing in her heart. She knew Grace was deliberately showing off to her. She knew that she didn''t have to be angry, but couldn¡¯t help be feel it unendurable. At that moment, her cell phone rang. Violet let out a long breath and took out her phone. The call was from the kindergarten. Violet picked up the phone, "Mrs. White, is something wrong?" "Miss Elliott, Erin got into a fight with a child at school. Pleasee to school now." What!? Erin got into a fight with a child! Violet had no time to care about the job now. She hurried to the dressing room to inform Julia, and then took a taxi to the school. The ss hadn¡¯t ended yet, so Violet exined her intention and went straight to the teacher''s office. "Mrs. White, look at my son! You have to exin why!" "Mrs. White, the kindergarten is one of the most prestigious schools in Crotosi City. Why do you ept the two trouble-makers?" "Yes, one can''t speak and the other is ill-bred. "......" Violet listened to them outside the door and frowned. Trouble-makers? Whom were they talking about? Violet pushed the door open and saw a number of people standing in the office. In addition to the teachers, there were three mothers and several children. One of them was her own daughter, and another was Luka. "Mommy." Erin saw Violet and ran towards her with a resigned look on her face. Violet wrapped her arms around her. Looking at Erin, she noticed that Erin was covered in filth. Her brows knitted tighter. She settled down and looked to the ss teacher, "Mrs. White, what was going on?" "Miss Elliott, here is the thing." Mrs. White said, "After nap, these kids were ying with Erin and Erin threw a painting box on them." That was unexpected! Violet''s eyes shed with dismay. She looked at her daughter, "Erin, why did you throw the painting box on them?" "Because they pulled my hair. When Luka helped me to chase them away, they called him a little dummy and pushed him. They were bullying Luka alone, so I got angry and threw the box on them." Erin exined it out clearly and told the whole story. Violet was enlightened. Her daughter was active but very sensible. It was impossible for her to fight with someone. Violet''s eyes fell on Luka, who was standing aside without saying a word. Then she walked over to take him into her arms. "Luka, thank you for defending Erin ." Luka''s eyes lit up and his tense face softened. "This little girl is your daughter?" a parent asked in surprise. Chapter 122 Chapter 122 Before Violet could say anything, the teacher quickly exined, "No, this is Erin''s godmother. I couldn''t get through to Erin''s mother." When registering, it was Josie who filled out the information, so Erin''s mother was still Josie on the profile. Violet pursed her lips and wondered if she should disclose her rtionship with Erin when another parent opened her mouth. "Mrs. White, I recognize the mother of this little girl. Isn''t Josie? The divorcee? It''s true. Children that are raised in single-parent families are ill-bred. She should be kicked out of school!" "Yes, she is so rude. She doesn''t deserve to be here. I also agree the school to withdraw her from school." "Yes! I don''t want my son to be in the ce with this kind of person." "......" The three parents were demanding contemptuously. Violet wrapped her arms around Erin and Luka and swept her eyes over the parents. She looked level-headed . The three women were all wearing designerbels and spoke in an arrogant and dominant way. Apparently, they were from the upper ss. They wanted to bully her and Josie because they knew both of them were powerless? "It''s hrious. The ones who did something wrong are your children, right? So why should the kids who are right instead be med?" Violet, without being condescending, looked at the teacher, "Mrs. White, as you heard, it was their children who were at fault in the first ce. Now I ask them to apologize to Luka and Erin. At the same time, their parents should also apologize for their inappropriatements." Hearing these words, the teacher wanted to say something but stopped. They were all rich. How dared she offend them?! "What are you saying? Ms. Violet, who do you think you are? Do you think you are Mrs. Johnson? You''re just an inferior make-up artist now!" "That''s right. You''re still taking yourself seriously after being insulted!" "......" The three women looked extremely contemptuous. Violet took a deep breath and was about to speak when Luka in her arms suddenly rushed over and gave a fierce push to the parents. "Ouch." The three were caught off guard and stumbled. Violet was shocked and pulled Luka to her side. She was moved about what Luka did. The little one heard their scolding and that was why he rushed over and pushed them? "You little dummy. Don''t think that I don''t dare do anything to you because your father is Louis!" "That''s right! Louis is also a bastard! No wonder his son sucks too." "Mrs. White, you just saw it. How can this kind of autistic child with violent tendency attend the aristocratic school?" "......" The parents rebuked them even more fiercely. Violet covered the ears of two kids and smiled coldly. "Threedies, you think you are noble, don''t you? But look at your words and actions. You are more vulgar than the barbaric. Today, it''s obvious that your children have done something wrong. But instead of looking for your own reasons, you me the innocent." "I bet that with your way of education, in the future your life will be miserable. Because they all will be ignorant, ipetent, selfish and self-serving fops." What she said made the parents look at each other and offended. "Violet, how dare you? You''re just an outcast from an noble family. You dare berate us? Why are you so protective of this little dummy? Are you trying to use him to get to the top again? We have seen many women like you. You''re really shameless!" "That''s right. Mrs. White, why are you still standing there? We won''t be willing to let go until you give us an exnation today." "......" Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. The parents were gabbling and turned against Violet. The teacher felt it really troublesome. Just then, the door was pushed open and the head of kindergarten walked in. Behind her was Louis. He was wearing the usual dark suit. Chapter 123 Chapter 123 His unsmiling handsome face had a kind of coldness that no one dared approach him. As soon as he entered the room, all the people inside stopped talking, and even the temperature dropped few degrees. "Ms. Lily, you''re here." The teacher saw that she had alerted the head of kindergarten and hurriedly got up to greet her. Lily nced at her, and her eyes contained a sense of reproach. Louis sent his son to this school, and also gave the school some sports equipment as a gift. The staff of this school had to make sure he was well taken care of. The school began just for a few days and something happened to his son. "It''s uncle Louis." Erin, hugging Violet''sp, saw Louis and lit up. Violet, of course, saw him too. Her red lips pursed without speaking. Louis'' eyes swept to them. Violet was hugging two kids tightly. Inexplicably, he thought Luka was her child too. He walked up to her and fixated his eyes on her. Then he bent slightly to rub Luka''s head, and held up This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Erin who looked at him with her eager eyes. The crowd was wordless. Why did Louis hug the little girl first instead of his own son? Violet was also stunned, then subconsciously looked at Luka. Luka leaned on her side, raised his eyes and looked at Louis. Slightly, he straightened his little body. As if to say: I''m a little man. I don''t need to hug. "Erin, is everything okay?" Louis stroked the little one''s head and asked in a soft voice. Erin wrapped her little arms around his neck and pursed her lips a little, "Erin is okay. But they''re all being unreasonable and scolding mommy and us." Louis smiled reassuringly at her and swept his eyes over the parents. His face turned cold and solemn. "Did you just say you wanted an exnation? May I ask what you want?" He and the head of kindergarten had been outside early in the morning, and they had heard their conversation. The parents looked at each other, and their expressions had long lost the arrogance they just had. After a long time, one parent plucked up the courage to look at him, "Mr. Johnson, look at these kids of ours. All thanks to the little girl in your arms. They were just ying with her. Did this little girl have to be so savage? Her quality is so bad." "Isn''t it? That''s why we agreed that such a child can''t stay in school." "......" They never mentioned the cause and effect, but just med Erin. Louis''s breath was heavy, "Just ying with her? So you''re ying with my son by calling him a dummy?" Hearing his words, the parents dared not reply. But one of the parents said stiffly, "Mr. Johnson, we don''t mean anything else, but your son is indeed defective. You can''t keep people from telling the truth just because you have power, right?" Luka was defective? Louis'' thin lips were tightlypressed, and the air pressure around him was lower and lower. Not waiting for him to speak, Violet''s voice came from the side. "Thisdy, let''s make a bet." The eyes of the crowd fell on Violet who opened her mouth. "You want to bet with me? What kind of bet?" The parent faced Violet with imperiousness. "Just a bet on whether Luka can talk or not! Do you dare?" Chapter 124 Chapter 124 Violet looked to the crowd, "If Luka speaks up today, you will have to kneel down and admit your mistakes!" Her words that made the parents look at each other. And they were hesitated for a moment. Violetughed lightly, "Don''t you dare? Just now you were scolding us vigorously. You guys are really Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. weak." Being provoked, one of them said, "Ms. Violet, let''s bet! What if you lose?" "If I lose, I''m at your disposal." Violet answered, and then squatted down to hold Luka''s shoulder. "Luka, you tell everyone. Can you speak?" Luka looked at her steadily and did not say anything for a moment. The room was quiet as everyone watched them. "Ms. Violet, you lose! He is autistic!" "Ms. Violet, who do you think you are? An autistic child can''t just open his mouth when you say he can." "Ms. Violet, hurry up and take your daughter out of school!" "......" Each one of them was aggressive. At that moment, Luka red at them and her little lips moved. "I''m not autistic! You''re too childish to talk to me!" The little boy''s face was cold and proud, just like Louis. The parents still had their mouths open and the words that came to their minds were stuck in their throats. He spoke up! And he was proud as hell! Violetughed. She stroked Luka''s head and gave him a thumbs up. Luka''s little body straightened up, and he blushed because of shyness. On the side, Louis watched the interaction between the two, and the corners of his mouth were turned upwards slightly. "Did you heard that? It''s not that Luka can''t talk. He just doesn''t care to talk to you guys." Violet stood up and looked at the parents, "Well, a bet is a bet. You three, please." They lost, so they had to kneel down to admit their mistakes. The parents'' faces changed for a while, and they all stood still. "He''s the little dummy! Mommy, let''s go back and tell daddy to teach them a lesson." A chubby little boy pulled at his mother, raising his chin in exasperation. "Luka has spoken. He''s not a dummy!" Erin nuzzled Louis''s neck and said. "Hum! He is a dummy! You like to y with him and you don''t deserve to be here. My dad is a big boss with lots and lots of men. I''m going to get my dad toe and kick you out of school." The little boy had his hands in his waist and a pompous look on his face. It seemed that he was spoiled at home. Louis nced at him and asked the head of kindergarten, "Ms. Lily, who is the little boy?" "Mr. Johnson, his father is Mr. Lindsay from Robert Construction." So it was Robert Lindsay! Robert became a dad in his autumn year. No wonder he spoiled his son so much. Today he will let Robert know that there was always someone better! Louis held Erin with one hand and took out his cell phone with the other and made a phone call to Harry. "Harry, is Robert Constructioning to sign the outsourcing contract tomorrow? Make an notification and suspend the cooperation." After saying that, he collected the phone and looked at the head of kindergarten again, "The other two are ..." Plop! The three people knelt down. "Mr. Johnson, it''s just a little fight between the kids. You''re a generous man. Please don''t take offense to our husband''s business ah." "Mr. Johnson, we know we''re wrong. We apologize to you." The parents were all terrified. How dared they joke about their families'' businesses. Louis'' cold eyes swept over the three, "Violet is right. If you don''t change your ways of education, your family will be miserable! Think about it. Luka, let''s go!" Luka''s eyes shone brightly as he took Violet''s hand and took a proud step to follow Louis'' lead. Louis, who had reached the door, thought of something, paused slightly, and touched Erin''s soft hair. "Erin, remember. Next time if someone dares bully you, call uncle and I''ll teach them a lesson for you." "Yeah, I''ll remember." Erin grinned, and her eyes were full of admiration. Violet knew Louis was trying to shock the people in the room. She felt warm in her heart. Looking at his back, she felt like he was Erin''s father and standing up for her daughter. What was she thinking about? After the four of them left the school, Violet regained herposure and saw Louis carrying Erin to his car, "Mr. Johnson, thank you for today. I''ll care of Erin." Chapter 125 Chapter 125 Hearing Violet''s words, Erin hugged Louis around his neck and wouldn''t let go. Louis looked at Erin and could sense the little one''s attachment to himself. His heart softened a bit. "Erin, thank you for defending Luka today. Tell uncle what you want. Uncle can fulfill you a wish." Hearing this, Erin big eyes turned, "Uncle Louis, can you take me to the amusement park?" "Yes." Louis raised his eyebrows and answered. His eyes fell on Luka, "Luka, do you want to go?" Excitement shed in Luka''s eyes and he nodded vigorously. Yes! He had never been to a amusement park before! "Let''s go." Louis nced at Violet, pulled open the car door, and put Erin inside. Then, he carried Luka inside. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Violet looked stunned, reacted and quickly said, "This isn''t appropriate! Erin, get out of the car. Let''s go home." "Erin helped Luka and I''m grateful to her. So I''m going with her to the amusement park. Louis was looking at Violet with his hand on the car door. Violet was wordless and unable to retort. "No, you guys, we..." There was no problem going to the amusement park. What was a problem was the four of them going to the amusement park together. Theirbination was too strange. "Violet, if you don''t want to go with Erin, then please go back. It''s fine with me." Louis made a move to close the car door. Violet hurriedly stopped him and got into his car without thinking twice. Forget about it! She rarely had time to apany with Erin. What was the point of thinking so much about it? "Mommy,e and sit in the middle." Erin smiled and patted her seat. Violet pinched her little cheeks and sat between the two children. Louis looked at the harmonious trio, closed the car door and smiled lightly. ...... Pce Hotel. Grace looked at the time, grabbed her bag and went to pick up Luka from kindergarten. "The Johnson Group president Louis, and his ex-wife Violet picked up their children from school together." "Louis is holding a little girl and Violet is holding his son. The four of them look like a family." "Do you think Louis is still thinking about Violet?" "I think it''s possible." "Are they going to remarry?" "......" The sound of several women talking came to her ears. Grace''s face fell and her brows knitted. Louis hade to pick up Luka? Or did hee with Violet? What did he want? Grace pressed down her frustration and went to the side to call Louis. After waiting for a while, the phone was finally answered. "Hello?" "Louis, you picked up Luka, right?" "Yes." "Why didn''t you say anything to me?" Grace grumbled softly. "I''m sorry. I took Luka to the amusement park. You can go back." Louis had taken Luka to the amusement park? It seemed that he was with Violet? Grace hung up the phone with coldness shed in her eyes. Stopping a car at the roadside, she instructed the driver to the direction of the amusement park. Chapter 126 Chapter 126 Amusement park. The carousel moved slowly . Louis put away his phone and looked at Violet who was taking pictures of the two little ones. The sun was setting, and the warm yellow glow was cast on her body, which brought out her soft and beautiful temperament. The breeze blew up her hair, and she smiled as she tucked the hair behind her ears. "Uncle Louis, look at me! Look at me. I''m here!" Erin waved her little hand at Louis, and her pink face was beaming with innocence. Her smile, in the sunlight, inexplicably ovepped with Violet''s smiling face. Louis'' eyes moved slightly, waved towards Erin, and his eyes slowly moved towards Violet. Was Erin really Josie''s daughter? Why did he think Erin and Violet looked alike? After shooting some photos, Violet, standing next to him, inadvertently gave a nce at him and made a eye contact with Louis'' burning gaze. From his eyes, she can sense a hint of scrutiny and inquiry, which made her palpitate. Why was he staring at her with such a look? Violet only felt puzzled. Slightly turning sideways, she tried to avoid his gaze. Louis narrowed his eyes and withdrew his look. Thinking of something, he walked up to Violet and said, "Violet, Tasty Interlude Bakery starts supplying pastries to Pce Hotel today, right?" He made the contribution! He had to let her know! When Violet heard this, she thought of Grace''s showing-off and felt enraged. "Yes! Should I thank Mr. Johnson and the future Mrs. Johnson for Tasty Interlude Bakery?" What kind of tone was that? It was okay she should thank him, but why did she have to include Grace? Louis frowned and was about to say something when the music of the carousel stopped. Violet was in a hurry to pick up the two little ones, and in her haste, she tripped over her feet. "Ah!" Violet subconsciously fell forward ... But promptly, her hand felt warm. The sound of a man''s powerful heartbeat came to her ears. She did not fall to the ground, but ... "Violet, this is your way of expressing your gratitude? In the public? I didn''t expect you to be so bold." The man''s teasing voice came from above her head, and Violet''s face was instantly hot. She stood up straight and took a step back sharply. "Mr. Johnson, it was just an ident." How depressing! She would rather fall on her face than fall into his arms. "Mommy, uncle Louis." Erin had gotten off the horse and was running happily towards her. Behind her was Luka. Violet quickly crouched down and caught Erin. "Erin, did you have fun?" "Yes, yes! Mommy, why is your face so red?" Erin blinked her big eyes with a curious face. Violet: "......" She found her daughter, who was telling the truth, not at all as pleasing as Luka, who was not talking at the moment. "Ahem, what else do you guys want to y?" Violet hugged the two little ones and changed the topic. "Well, w crane, fishing and railways ..." Erin enumerated some items and wanted to try all. Luka on the side did not say anything, but his little face was also full of expectation. "Okay, you can try them all. Today, let''s have a fun." Louis, with his long arms outstretched, picked up Erin with his left hand and Luka with his right, then stepped forward. In the sunset, the man''s back was tall and straight, and there was a sense of security. Violet stood straight. Seeing the smile on her daughter''s face, her red lips pursed. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. It seemed that her daughter really liked Louis. Chapter 127 Chapter 127 But why did Erin like him? In the front, Louis beheld Erin''s pink face. "Erin, can I give you a little test? To see if you are clever." "What is it?" Erin asked in a silvery voice. Louis turned sideways, nced at Violet who was buying water on the side of the road, and asked softly: "Do you know who gave birth to you? Was it Josie Mommy, or Angel Mommy?" Erin smiled, "I know. Angel Mommy told me that I came out of her tummy. Everyone says Luka and I are twins, so I wish Luka came out of Mommy''s tummy too!" As expected! Erin was Violet''s daughter! Louis pursed his lips, and mysteriously had a depression feeling. When Violet married him, she actually concealed the fact that she had a child! That was why she pretended to be ugly and then tried everything to divorce him? That was so scheming! Louis'' eyes were deep in concentration. If Erin was Violet''s daughter, then who was the real father? Everyone thought Erin and Luka looked like twins, which meant Erin looked a bit like him. And he, who didn''t like kids, somehow felt connected to Erin. So could Erin be his daughter? But he had only slept with one woman four years ago. And that woman was Grace! At the thought of Violet having been with another man before him, he was inexplicably agitated. "Mm, uncle Louis, you''re hugging Erin too tight." Erin grunted ufortably. Louis returned to his senses, suppressed his emotion of restlessness, and set the two children down. "Luka, take Erin and go y." Luka nced at him, and her little mouth pursed. Then he and Erin walked towards the children''s y area. Was dad in a bad mood because he knew Erin was Violet''s daughter? Behind him, Violet, who had a bottle of water in hand, walked up to Louis. "Here you are." Louis glimpsed at her and reached out his hand to take it. He opened the bottle, slightly tilted his head and took a big sip. He looked aloof, and the way he looked at her was also cold. Violet blinked, wondering what she had done to him again. At that moment, the phone in her pocket rang. Violet took it out and looked at it. It was Josie''s calling. She stepped away from Louis and picked up the phone. "Hello ..." The woman''s voice was sweet as she made small talk in a soft voice with the other one in the phone. Louis grew even more distant. The way she spoke was quite soft. Could it be Isaac again? ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Violet, how many boyfriends did she have? At this time, the phone in his pocket also rang. After he nced at the caller ID, his thin lipspressed slightly, barely calming down a bit. "Grace." "Louis, I''ming to the park. Are you guys still here?" Grace was here? Louis frowned. He looked at Violet and said after thinking for a while, "We''re still here. Come on in." Grace was Luka''s real mother, and he shouldn''t deprive her of the opportunity to spend time with her child. Not far away, Violet and Josie finished their phone call and headed in Louis'' direction. Josie was almost at the park to pick herself and Erin up and take them home. "Mr. Johnson ..." "Louis." A woman''s sound came from behind her. Violet froze and turned around to see Grace who was walking towards them. Grace was here too! The smile on Violet''s face faded. Chapter 128 Chapter 128 "Miss Elliott''s there too?" Grace looked over at Violet, feigning surprise. Violet gave her a slight nod and turned her head to the two children in the ying area. "What brings you here?" Louis asked in a light voice. "I haven''t apanied Luka to the yground before. So I thought he''ll be happy to see you and me ying with him." Grace returned in a gentle tone. Louis didn''t say anything, peered at Violet, and looked back into the ying area. Violet''s hand was holding the bottle of water tightly. Puzzlingly, he felt a little absurd. They were a family of three, and she, an ex-wife, intervened between them with her daughter. "Erin, it''s gettingte. Let''s go home." Violet shouted towards the little one. Hearing her call, the two looked up in unison and both ran towards her. "Mommy, can''t we y a little longer?" Erin blinked her big eyes, not satisfied. "We don''t have a time. Josie Mommy is already here to pick us up." Violet carried her out and put her shoes on. "Luka, you can go on. Daddy and mommy are waiting for you outside." Grace said to Luka in time, smiling. Daddy and mommy!? Violet pursed her lips as she straightened her daughter''s clothes. Luka looked at Grace, then at Violet, and walked out of the ying area without saying a word. He was not gonna continue? Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Her words were useless? The smile on Grace''s face froze and she cursed Luka as an ungrateful son. "Mommy, can I get a doll before we leave?" Erin saw the crane machine next to her and her eyes shed with anticipation. "Okay, let''s go." Violet picked her up and walked over to the machine. Luka looked up at Louis and took his hand. "You want to y too?" asked Louis. Luka nodded. Louis picked him up and went to another machine. What a brother-sister bond! Grace just felt annoyed as she slowly followed them. "Mommy, I want this." Erin pointed to a doll, with a look of excitement. "Okay, let''s try it." Violet took Erin''s hand, pushed the joystick and aimed at the target. "Ah, so close!" Erin looked regretful. "Let''s try again." Violet spit out her tongue and continued. "Well, so close again." "One more time." "......" Several times in a row, they were always so close. Erin''s face fell. Luka, seeing the doll in his hand, pulled Louis'' hand, and pointed at Erin. Did Luka asked him to help Erin? Louis walked towards Violet. "I''ll help you." Violet''s forehead was already seeping with sweat. Once she heard Louis'' low and maic voice, she was relieved, inexplicably. She stepped aside and watched Louis hold Erin''s small hand and move the joystick up and down. "Wow, I got it! Uncle Louis is great!" When she finally caught a doll, Erin pped her hands and kissed Louis on the right side of his face. Louis was filled with a sense of aplishment. "Do you want more?" "Yes! Yes!" "Okay." The two continued. Violet curled her lips, and with a glimpse, she saw Grace was staring at her. Her eyes were awfully unfriendly. Violet smiled slightly, then averted her eyes. When Louis helped the little one get two more dolls, Violet opened her mouth. "Okay Erin, we should go. Josie Mommy should be here soon." If she didn''t leave, she was afraid she was going to get killed with Grace''s eyes. "Okay." Erin hugged the doll in her arms tightly, and her eyes still shining with joy. "Miss Elliott, can you take a picture of me and Louis and Luka? We''re finally reunited as a family of three. And we haven''t had a picture together yet." Grace pulled Luka''s hand and took Louis'' arm, smiling at Violet. Violet was motionless. Watching the three standing together, she somehow felt suffocated. Chapter 129 Chapter 129 She took a deep breath and smiled, "Okay." "Thanks." Grace hurriedly handed her the phone and looked at Louis again, "Louis, you hold Luka." Louis'' eyebrows unconsciously twisted up. A family of three? He and she hadn''t even started a family yet. "Louis, here." Grace picked up Luka and tried to let Louis hold him. Louis looked at her, noticed her expectant gaze, and finally took Luka over. Grace got the corners of her mouth to turn upwards and took his arm. The three of them were snuggled together in front of the camera, looking so happy. Violet pursed her lips and pressed the shutter button. "There you go." "Thank you, Miss Elliott." Grace smiled smugly. It was clear that she was deliberately showing affection in front of her. Violet suppressed the difort inside and picked up her daughter after returning the phone to her. "Erin, say goodbye to your aunt and uncle and Luka." "Bye!" Erin said goodbye in a ringing voice. As she watched the two leave, Grace let out a cold snort in her heart. Her eyes fell on Luka and was pretending to be gentle. "Luka, what else do you want to y? Daddy and mommy will apany you." Luka shook his head. The excitement for other items had long gone. Erin and Violet had left here, and it was no fun for him to y alone. "No more? Are you hungry? Then let''s go and have a dinner together." Grace smiled slightly, and still spoke softly. Luka did not say anything but looked at Louis. Louis'' eyes retracted from not far away and asked Luka: "What do you want to eat?" ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Luka thought about it for a while and two images shed through his mind. "Cartoon meal." He wanted to eat the kind of delicious and good-looking meal that Violet made. "Luka, what''s cartoon meal?" Grace inquired. Louis gave a nce at her, "It''s the meal in the form of robot cat, or a big bear. Violet made it for Luka, can you?" What the hell was that? When had Violet ever done that for Luka? Graceughed, "I can ask Google if I don''t know how. Louis, how abouting to our apartment tonight? I''ll cook dinner for you." She couldn''t lose to Violet. She had to develop a rtionship with the father and son. "Okay." Louis pondered for a moment and agreed. An hourter. Luka looked at the meal in front of him and his small brows furrowed. What kind of pattern was this? Was it an octopus? "Luka, are you surprised? Mommy especially did it for you. The puppy pattern is interesting, right? Taste it." Grace looked at Luka, and her face was full of pride. So this was a puppy? Well, maybe he was not intelligent enough to recognize it as a puppy. Luka picked up a spoon, hesitated slightly, and scooped it. He imagined the delicious taste of the meal that Violet cooked. Yet what was in his mouth now was ... Luka''s little face scrunched up into a frown and he spat out the food directly. So salty! It tasted awful! He wanted to drink water! Seeing Luka running for water, Louis, who was sitting at the side, wrinkled his eyebrows. He picked up a fork and took a taste. The taste in his mouth made his frown tighten. Drawing out a piece of tissue, he spat the dish out of his mouth, then walked to the living room and picked up Luka. "Grace, practice your cooking skills sometime. I''ll take Luka back to Balridge Manor first." Her cooking skill was on the same level as Violet''s! "Louis, Luka ..." Watching them leave, Grace was fairly indignant. She had worked so hard to cook a meal, and all she got in return was dislike from them! It was all Violet''s fault! ...... Friday. Violet was invited to the TV station to meet with the team of Sunlite Model Contest. When she followed the staff into a room, she saw a lot of people sitting inside. Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Violet''s eyes swept the crowd. There were acquaintances, Jessie and Lucie in the room, as well as several well-known make-up artists, in addition to a few superiors from the station. "Good morning, Miss Elliott." Director Stanley said hello to Violet. "Hi, Mr. Stanley." Violet nodded slightly at him and walked over. "Miss Elliott, please take a look at the contract. If there are no problems, we can sign it." Stanley gestured to the staff to get the contract for Violet. Violet took it, flipped through it carefully, and then prepared to sign thest page with her name. "Mr. Stanley, did Violet cheat her way into the contest? Because she doesn''t need toe over to the examination like they do." The woman''s charming voice came to her ears. Violet''s hand, which was holding a pen, paused. Then, she raised her eyes to look over. The one who spoke was Jessie, who was tucking her wavy hairs while asking Stanley in a delicate way. Jessie, like David, was a special guest at the Sunlite Model Contest. "Yes, Mr. Stanley. I have been on your show before. You know my make-up level. Why was I eliminated this time?" "That''s right,Mr. Stanley. In terms of seniority, we''re better than her. In terms of ability, we''re not inferior to her either. Why did she even get hired without a test? And we were eliminated?" Several makeup artists were unconvinced. It seemed that makeup artists should have gone through a test before this. Stanley would then choose makeup artists he liked for the Sunlite Model Contest ording to their performance. Violet''s fingers curled up. When she thought that she had been selected because of Louis, she pursed her lips and did not speak. "About this ..." Stanley nced at Violet and smiled awkwardly. "The reason Miss Elliott was hired without a test is because I believe in her makeup skill." She was Louis''s ex-wife, and she was chosen in the first ce because of Louis! Of course there was no need for a test! "Oh, don''t make things difficult for Mr. Stanley. The Johnson Group is the biggest sponsor of the Contest. Miss Elliott is Louis'' ex-wife. So for Louis'' sake, Mr. Stanley can only turn a blind eye for it. Jessie deliberately made a such exnation, but her words were implying something. That was, Violet managed to be the make-up artist for the contest all because of Louis! Several of the eliminated make-up artists looked at each other, and they felt extremely resentful. Lucie stood silently at the side and did not speak. Violet sensed the provocation from Jessie''s eyes and smiled. Then, she took a ss of water from the table and sshed it directly at her face. "Ah!" Her sudden and unexpected action caused Jessie to scream out. "Violet, are you crazy?" Violet smiled faintly, "Sorry, Miss Shaw, your makeup is smudged. Why don''t you let me help you? By the way, I''ll show Mr. Stanley if my makeup skill is good enough." She didn''t want to burden herself with the title of a connected person and have others look at her in a different way. The best way was to gag them with strength. "Jessie, look, your makeup is smudged anyway. Why don''t you just be a model and let Miss Elliott fix your makeup." Stanley coughed lightly and spoke. He made the suggestion. Jessie, full of anger, can not lose her temper in front of him and reluctantly sit in the chair.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Violet took out her phone and clicked on the live streaming software. "Mr. Stanley, in order to guarantee fairness and impartiality, I want more people to see how I apply makeup." "So that when the contest starts, there will be no people stirring up trouble behind my back. And saying that I made it in an unwarranted way." Chapter 131 Chapter 131 Pretending not to know anything, Stanley snigger as he signaled for her to begin. Violet asked one of the staff members to hold her phone, then set out the makeup tools she had brought with her and started the live broadcast. "Hello again, I''m Helena from RW Styling Studio. And today, I have the honor of having the big star Jessie as a model. So I can show you my makeup skills. Guess what kind of makeup I will put on Jessie?" Gradually, moreizens went into the live broadcast room. "Wow, it''s really Jessie, the big star." "I''m so curious. What kind of makeup will Helena put on Jessie?" "Will it be an ugly makeup?" Jessie''s eyebrows knitted together and she whispered a warning to Violet, "Violet, don''t you dare to put ugly makeup on me!" Violet was removing her makeup, "Don''t worry Jessie. I will never put ugly makeup on you. I will make you look prettier." Hearing her words, Jessie didn''t continue to say anything else. Violet began to apply the makeup, while doing exnations in front of the camera. There were several makeup artists around, all staring at her instantaneously. Violet did it very fast, and it didn''t take long that she finished the makeup for Jessie. "Well, it''s done! I''ll let Jessie see it first. Are you satisfied with it?" Violet took out a mirror and handed it to Jessie. Jessie hurriedly took it and looked at herself in the mirror. She was surprised by what she saw in the mirror. She had to said that Violet''s make-up level was extremely high. She had wless skin, and with the makeup, colors seemed brighter when she was around. And her pair of upturned eyes seemed to be able to seduce people''s soul. The delicate and red lips were plump as a cherry. When she puckered, it was so alluring that people wanted to taste it. But ... Jessie looked around and felt that something was not right. This makeup made her look gorgeous, but it waspletely different from her original and innocent temperament. "Jessie, are you not satisfied with my make-up?" Violet was smiling lightly on the side. Jessie tossed the mirror to the side and looked at the camera. "Helena, you''d better exin to everyone what kind of makeup you''re doing for me. Why do I feel so awkward?" Even if Violet''s makeup was indeed good, she won''t give apliment to her! Violetughed and looked to the camera. "Does everyone think Jessie''s makeup is beautiful today?" Allizens in the room were saying she was beautiful. "They think it''s beautiful! Do the male fans think so?" Violet continued. And the maleizens agreed so. Violet looked at Jessie, "Then let me tell you. The makeup I put on for Jessie today is called ''mistress exclusive'' makeup! Do you think Jessie looks like a mistress? Pretending to be delicate and is scorned and hated by everyone?" Jessie froze. And people in the room was wordless. Mistress exclusive makeup!? This was an insinuation that Jessie was a mistress! "Violet!" Jessie was provoked, stood up and mmed her phone to the ground. But Violet remained unmoved, "Jessie, pay attention to your behavior. In your fans'' eyes, you are a Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. pure existence. You must control your temper." "You!" Jessie pointed at Violet, out of breath in anger. Violetughed quietly and looked at Stanley, "Mr. Stanley, is my make-up still to your satisfaction? If you are not satisfied, Jessie can continue to be my model. I will put on a different makeup for her until you are satisfied." Chapter 132 Chapter 132 Stanley saw Jessie who was pissed off, and prevented himself from bursting intoughter. "It''s okay! I''ve seen your out-of-this-world makeup skill. No need to try again. What do you guys think? Have you lost convincingly?" Several make-up artists did not say anything, but something was obviously welling up in their eyes. They were all industry insider, and once Violet started doing make-up, they could tell how excellent she was. "Mr. Stanley, Miss Elliott''s makeup skills are evident. I will work with her toplete the task for the Sunlite Model Contest." Lucie looked at Stanley and spoke. "Good." Stanley nodded, "Miss Elliott, Lucie is also one of the main makeup artists for this Contest. So I''ll leave the makeup work for you." Violet looked to Lucie and extended her hand towards her, "We could work well together." Since thest incident, Lucie had left the crew. She heard that Lucie joined arge makeup studio and became one of the partners. Hopefully, this time, the coboration would have no ident. "Thanks." Lucie shook hands with Violet, then turned to leave. "Let''s go too." Jessie red at Violet with hatred and left with her assistant. Violet finished organizing her makeup tools, handed the signed contract to Stanley, and then left the room as well. She took a big order and made a fool of Jessie. She was so happy! The phone in her pocket rang. It was Isaac''s call. She beamed and picked up the phone. "Isaac." "Violet, where are you?" Isaac''s gentle voice came over the receiver. "I just got out of the station. I signed a makeup order." Violet got in her car and replied. "Yeah? That''s got to be a celebration." Isaacughed, "I just got back from a business trip. I''ll pick Erin upter, then I''ll book a table and ask Josie to join us." Hearing this, Violet thought for a moment and agreed with him. She was happy today, and it was time to celebrate. ...... In front of the kindergarten. "Uncle Isaac." Erin was so happy to see Isaac that she jumped into his arms. Isaac picked her up in his arms and chuckled as he stroked her little head. "Uncle Isaac, why are you here to pick me up today?" Erin asked, blinking her big eyes. "Because your two mommies have ordered Erin''s favorite food at the restaurant. They are waiting for us to have a big meal." Isaac smiled. "Yeah! Let''s go!" Erin looked down and waved her hand to Luka. "Luka, I''ll go first. See you tomorrow." Luka waved to her with disappointment in his eyes. Aunt Violet didn''te today, and he missed her. "Luka." Grace came over to pick up Luka. As her eyes swept over Isaac who left with Erin, she absorbed in thought. Luka nced at her, not looking high. Grace withdrew her gaze and watched Luka. "Luka, let''s go to daddy''s office." She couldn''t act like a babysitter every time, dropping Luka off at Balridge Manor and leaving. She had to validate her existence in front of Louis and develop a rtionship with them. Otherwise, she would not be able to marry Louis. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Luka''s dark eyes squinted and did not say anything. He also wanted to see where his father worked! It was the president''s office of the Johnson Group . Chapter 133 Chapter 133 "Louis, I want you to fire Olly!" Jasmine screamed angrily at Louis. Louis didn''t even look up, "Why?" "Because he''s out of line!" Jasmine said, "Louis, I am the general manager of Century Entertainment Company. Why does he have to mess with every proposal I make?" Louis lifted his eyes slightly when he heard this, "Jasmine, as a manger, you have to be open-minded and make the best use of your talents. Olly is a talented person. His opinions must be in the interest of thepany." That was not true! Olly''s existence was simply a deliberate arrangement by Louis. He was trying to make Jasmine a mere figurehead! Jasmine gasped, "Louis, are you doing this on purpose? You''re deliberately suppressing me?" This annoying bastard was really going too far! Louis nced at her and said in a light voice: "Jasmine, we''re in thepany. Please call me Mr. Johnson. I am scrupulous in separating public from private interests. There is no intentional suppression. At most, I think your ability is limited and I want someone to help you out." Public and private!? That was bullshit! He was deliberately doing this to her! If this went on, there would be no ce for her in thepany. Jasmine red at Louis and her fingernails almost digging into her flesh. "Anything else to ask? If not, go out." Louis lowered his eyes and went back to work. Jasmine stomped her foot in hatred and mmed the door shut on her way out. Damn Louis! How in the world can she pull him down from his position of power? "Miss Harper. This is Mr. Johnson''s office." The secretary''s sweet voice rang out in front of her. Jasmine looked forward and saw Graceing with Luka, and narrowed her eyes. Grace also saw Jasmine. The smile on her face paused slightly and she nodded with Jasmine, "Miss Johnson." Jasmine held her chin up high, with a cold and arrogant attitude. She swept her eyes over the two of them and said, "The future Mrs. Johnson? You''re here to see Louis?" Grace was the impostor. Why didn''t she listen to herst time to use Louis? She had to scheme against her and get Grace to do something for her. Grace pretended to be timid, then took Luka to the office. Jasmine grunted and smoothed her hair around her ears. It was all a bunch of nasties. What a bad day! Thinking of something, she took out her cell phone, cleared her throat and made a phone call. She waited for a while and finally got through. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. "Hello, who is it?" The man''s warm and elegant voice came from the current. Jasmine pouted and chirped, "Isaac, I can''t believe you didn''t save my phone number?" "Miss Johnson, what''s wrong?" Isaac asked in a light voice. "Are you back from your business trip? I have something to ask you!" "Sorry, it''s not convenient for me right now." Isaac said and hung up the phone. "Hey, Isaac, I haven''t finished yet!" Jasmine listened to the beeping sound on the phone and was so angry that she wanted to m the phone. Why was he so hard to deal with!? She was the daughter of the Johnson Family and interested in him. Shouldn''t he immediately fall in love with her? The more difficult to deal with him, the more she wanted to get him! Jasmine grunted, thinking of the voice she had just heard on the phone. There was someone calling out "Wee to Snow Restaurant". So he was at Snow Restaurant! Jasmine''s eyes rolled up and she had an idea. President''s Office. Louis looked at Grace and Luka who came in, and his eyebrows knitted. "What are you doing here?" Chapter 134 Chapter 134 "Louis, I want you and me to spend more time with Luka. Are you angry?" Grace watched Louis and asked cautiously. Louis glimpsed at Luka and his face was softened a bit. "No." It was true that his son cannot grow without thepany of both parents. Luka was looking around, and his big eyes were full of curiosity. Louis got up and picked him up. "Luka, this is where daddy works. Let me show you around." Luka blinked and nodded. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. The corners of Grace''s mouth were turned upwards. She thought about it and said tentatively, "Louis, Luka might be hungry. So should we go shopping for groceries and cook dinner togetherter? Or do we go back to Balridge Manor together?" Hearing this, Louis thought of yesterday''s dinner, and his eyebrows unconsciously frowned. "Let''s take Luka out. I''ll ask Harry to book a table." He wanted to go out! He just won''t take her back to Balridge Manor! Grace nced at theputer on his desk, and absorbed in her thought. ...... Snow Restaurant. Violet was sitting in a private room, eating and talking. "Violet, you''re so awesome. You dare to say Jessie is a mistress in the live broadcast! Convincing!" Josie heard about Violet''s feat on TV station and couldn''t stop squealing with joy. "Who told her to be so scheming? She said I cheat my way into it." Violet took a sip of water and went on. "But, if without Louis'' help, it would be a little hard for you to take the Sunlite Model Contest." Josie fed Erin and winked at Violet. Violet didn''t say anything and put food in Erin''s bowl. "Violet, you''re talented. Even if she can''t take this order, there are other waiting for he r." Isaac sat beside Violet and spoke in a soft voice. Josie nced at him andughed, "Yes, yes, Violet''s talents. There is no shortage of orders." "That''s right." Isaac continued and passed Violet a dish. Violet chuckled, "You two stop praising me like that. I can''t be too conceited to. And I might fail someday" "You won''t" "Even if you do, I will be your strong supporter." "......" The three joked andughed. Erin was full, wiggled her little body and said, "Mommy, I need to go to the bathroom." Josie put down her fork, "Okay, little princess, Josie Mommy will take you there." "Mm." Josie carried Erin out of the room. Isaac and Violet were left in the room. Isaac served Violet another bowl of soup, "Violet, eat more. You seem to have lost weight again." "No, I haven''t. but I''ve gained much weight in the past few days." Violet took the bowl and said. Isaac''s eyes were gentle, "Where is the Sunlite Model Contest held?" "At Scarlett Resort." "It''s got a great view!" "Yes, it is." The two of them chatted for a while. Then, Isaac''s phone rang, and someone sent a video call request. He nced at it, smiled and picked up, "Mom." "Issac, where are you? Are you still busy?" Esther was Issac''s mother, and her figure appeared in the screen. Isaac nced at Violet, "Mom, I''m in a restaurant now, with Violet." "Really? Violet''s with you?" Chapter 135 Chapter 135 "Hmm. Look, isn''t she?" Isaac moved the camera over. Violet moved her body over a little closer to Isaac. "Esther, it''s been a long time. How are you?" "Violet, it has been a long time since you''ve not visited me." "Sorry sorry, I''ve been really busytely. I''ll see you when I''m free." Violet was all smiles, chatting affectionately with Esther. Isaac watched her quietly, and his eyes were full of warmth. At the door, Jasmine was led by a waiter. When she saw Violet and Isaac were snuggling intimately together, her face was instantly covered with anger. No wonder Isaac was ignoring her! He was seduced by Violet, the bitch! "Violet, why are you so shameless? You just got divorced and you''re looking for a recement!" Violet and Isaac were both stunned by her sudden shouting. Isaac hurriedly spoke to his mother and then hung up the phone. "Miss Johnson, what are you doing?" Jasmine pointed her finger at Violet, "Isaac, do you like her that much? She''s a slut! You don''t even think she''s disgusting!" She was disgusting! Violet almostughed out loud by what she said. "Jasmine, I''m not as disgusting as you are!" Jasmine slept around every now and then, and she had the nerve to describe Violet as a slut? "What did you say? How dare you? Bitch! I didn''t have a child with a man like you did!" Jasmine scolded furiously. Violet''s face changed and she stared at Jasmine, "Jasmine, what do you mean?" Did she know that she had given birth to a child? "You don''t know what I mean?" Jasmine sneered, "Violet, you gave birth to a child. It''s not Josie. You''re so shameless!" She knew that Erin was her daughter! How did she know? Violet wrinkled her brow and curled her fingers. At that moment, Josie came back with Erin. When she heard Jasmine''s cursing, she changed her expression. She handed Erin to Isaac and shouted at Jasmine, "Jasmine, who are you calling shameless? The most shameless person is you! Are you short of men? How horny are you to pester Isaac every day?" "You!" Jasmine grudged and her face changed for a while. "Josie, you''re a whore too. Look at you both, you''re all unattractive bitches!" "You''re a bitch! You''re crazy! What are you doing here? Fuck off!" Josie shouted, pointing at the door. Violet pulled at the hem of her shirt, then asked, "Jasmine, how do you know I had a baby?" She didn''t mind to let other people know the fact that she had a child. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. But she had to at least find out how Jasmine knew about it. Jasmine''s eyes rolled up slightly. She fixed her hair around her ears and smiled coldly, "Violet, look at your daughter. Does she look like Josie more than you?! I''ve checked you out. You took a year off from school because of sickness, but you actually gave birth to a bastard, right? She called Erin bastard! Violet looked at her daughter, who was being held tightly in Isaac''s arms and had her ears covered. Her face turned cold. Then, she picked up a cup of water on the dining table and sshed it at Jasmine. "Jasmine, you try cursing one more time?" She can investigate her, but she can''t scold her daughter! "Ah, Violet, you bitch! How dare you? I''ll kill you!" Jasmine was extremely infuriated that she wiped her face and picked up her bag to throw it at Violet. At that moment, a small figure rushed over and pushed Jasmine hard. Chapter 136 Chapter 136 Jasmine was caught off guard by the push. ¡°Ah!¡± She staggered and fell to the ground. When she looked up, she saw Luka glowering at her with a wary expression, and pursing his little lips. "Luka! You little bastard! How dare you push me!" Rage flowed through her likeva, as she climbed up and tried to punch him. "Jasmine, don''t you dare to touch him?" A man''s cold voice rang out from the doorway, and Jasmine''s hand froze in mid-air. Louis was here too! He was an nasty bastard, just as disgusting as Violet. And the little bastard they had produced! Anger poured through Jasmine. She made up her mind and called out, "Louis, you''re just in time! I''m telling you, Violet is a liar! She has given birth to a child. Yet she still pretended to be innocent and married. It was a fraudulent marriage!" "She treats you like a pathetic guy and our family an ATM! Now, look at her. She takes the money you gave her to be with her old lover!" Louis, the illegitimate child, didn''t know the truth anyway, so she could nder Violet as much as possible! It would be better to provoke Louis and send Violet to jail! The atmosphere was fairly tense in the room. After ncing at Violet and Isaac with indifference, he took a big step over and picked Luka up. "Jasmine, behave yourself. You''re a celebrity. Don''t make yourself look like a shrew." After saying that, he didn''t stay any longer, turned around and left. Grace, who came along with him, looked meaningfully at Violet. Then, she sneered and quickly followed. Jasmine screamed and cursed. "Jasmine, you still don''t want to go? Do you want to be sshed with water again?" Josie picked up a ss of water and pretended to ssh it. Jasmine hurriedly took two steps back and red at Violet and Josie. Then, watching Isaac who had a cold face, Jasmine finally left in a huff. The room was quiet now. Gazing at the door, Violet thought about the way Louis just looked at her, and felt inexplicably anxious. Did he believe what Jasmine said? How came he left without saying a word? Would Jasmine seed in provoking her and sue her for marriage fraud? "Jasmine is a crazy bitch! Violet, are you okay?" Josie asked in an exasperated voice. Violet looked back, smiled lightly and shook her head. "I''m fine." "But Louis knows you had a baby. So he''s not going to hold on to it, is he?" Josie asked with some concern. "It''s okay. If the worstes, I can give him back thepensation." Violet acted as if nothing had happened conciliate Josie. "Violet, I''m sorry. It''s all my fault." Isaac let go of Erin with self-usation. If it wasn''t for him, Jasmine wouldn''t consider Violet as the most hated person. Maybe the fact that Violet had a baby would have been a secret forever. "Isaac, what are you talking about? How can I me you for that? I had a baby, and sooner orter they''ll know." Violet hugged Erin and soothed Isaac. "I''ve never seen such a bratty woman like her." Josie still looked indignant. "Mommy, that auntie is so mean and aggressive. I think I heard uncle Louis'' voice. Is he here to get rid of the mean auntie?" Erin asked in an naive voice. She was held in Isaac''s arms and did not see the scene just now. Although her ears were covered, she still heard a little sound. Violet looked at her daughter''s big bright eyes and sighed silently. In the eyes of her daughter, probably Louis was a hero-like existence. He can catch dolls for her, and help her chase away bad guys. It was a pity that this man was not destined to be with them. Another private room. Louis, Louis and Grace all sit down.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Chapter 137 Chapter 137 Seeing Louis'' grim face, Grace gloated a little. She didn''t expect to see such a good show before dinner! Jasmine was such a self-inflicted bitch! She actually turned ck and white and ndered Violet. Louis must be disgusted with Violet because Grace had beheld his aloof attitude towards Violet. "Louis, is it true what Miss Johnson said? So Erin is Miss Elliott''s daughter? She''s hiding it so well. So scheming!" Grace affected to sigh casually, and said after a pause: "I don''t know why Miss Elliott was pregnant before marriage. She''s still young! Probably she''s just ignorant. Stupidly in love, right?" She couldn''t say too much, otherwise she would reveal herself. But she can still deepen Louis'' misunderstanding about Violet! Louis flipped through the menu and was getting more and more annoying. Luka on the side, with frown, nced at Grace and said, "It''s not polite to talk bad about others behind their backs. Violet is very nice. Dad, I''m hungry." He didn''t like it when people said Violet was not nice. In his eyes, Violet was beautiful and gentle, and he liked her! Louis ordered food and looked sideways at his son as if he was thinking about something. Then he didn''t say anything but continued to order. But his mood lightened a little bit. The smile on Grace''s face vanished, and she scowled Luka when they did not see her, and cursed him as being ungrateful. Damn Luka. Was this the bond of blood? How dared he help Violet all the time! Washroom. Jasmine washed her face and was still depressed. She touched her face and said to herself in a hateful voice: "Violet, this bitch. What''s so good about her? Is she as pretty as me? Is Isaac blind? Why does he only see that bitch?" Since childhood, she, as a youngdy of the Johnson family, had numberless pursuers who tried to lick her shoes. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. But Isaac was the odd one! It really pissed her off! "Does Miss Johnson like that poor man?" A man''szy voice suddenly sounded. Jasmine was startled and turned around. She saw a man, whose tails of his eyes were slightly upturned, leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets. And he was looking at her with a smile. "It''s you?" Jasmine recognized the man, and her demeanor returned to coldness. There were a lot of powerful families in Crotosi City. But there were only few families that could bepared to the Johnsons. Among them, the Scott family and the Johnsons had been fighting against each other. The two families were business rivals. The man in front of Jasmine was the eldest son of the Scott family, Marcus Scott. He was a man with a reputation for fancy. Jasmine finished fixing her hair, elegantly nodded with Marcus and prepared to leave. "Miss Johnson, please stay." The man stopped Jasmine''s way and slowly approached, cornering her. "Mr. Scott, what''s wrong?" Jasmine looked at him with a wary expression. Marcus smiled viciously, came close to her ear and blew ambiguously, "Miss Johnson, you still haven''t answered the question I just asked. Do you really like that poor man?" The man''s voice was deliberately soft, with a hint of seduction. Jasmine''s body instantly tingled. She swallowed, and her voice was unconsciously delicate, "What''s it to you?" "If you really like him, I can help you get him." He can help her get Isaac!? "Mr. Scott, I don''t know you very well. Why do you want to help me?" Marcus'' long, slender fingers cupped her chin and slowly rubbed it. "Will you believe me if I say I''ve fallen in love with you? I can satisfy you with whatever you want." Jasmine had no idea how to react with that for the moment. Chapter 138 Chapter 138 It was the day before the Sunlite Model Contest began. Violet arrived at Scarlett Resort in the afternoon. She entered a room arranged by the team. Putting down her luggage, she took out a paper to read the schedule. The Sunlite Model Contest was a week-long event. The contestants would go through three days of preliminary rounds, two days of quarter-final, and one day of final. And thest day was the award ceremony. Her task was to arrange the makeup concerned ording to the characteristics of different models. She was highly nervous for it was her first time to participate in this kind of event. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Violet exhaled, looked at the time and prepared to meet the rest of the team. At that moment, her cell phone rang. Violet picked it up and looked delighted. It was Isaac''s call. "Isaac?" "Violet, have you gotten to the ce?" "Uh-huh, just got here." "I just happened to be over here for some business. Let''s have dinner tonight." What a coincidence! Violet blinked, "Isaac, maybe I don''t have a time at night." "That''s okay. I can wait for you." The man was as gentle as ever, and Violet had no reason to say no. "Okay, I''ll see you tonight then." Hanging up the phone, she grabbed her belongings and left the room. Along came a few people and Violet paused slightly. She had seen the contestants, and among them were five models chosen by Century Entertainment Company. It seemed that Century Entertainment Company took this event very seriously, and Jasmine personally led the team. Violet didn''t want to pay much attention to Jasmine, so she nodded to her lightly and prepared to pass her to leave. But, the fact that she just didn''t want to talk to Jasmine didn''t mean Jasmine would do what she wanted. Jasmine held her chin high and blocked her way. "Violet, I didn''t expect. You''re just an unknown make-up artist. But be a make-up director of this Hearing these words, Violet said in a light voice: "Miss Johnson, I can take the role of director because the team selected me from many talented makeup artists. Are you questioning the fairness of the team? Do you want me to ask Stanley toe over? So that you can ask yourself if there is any shady deal here?" This was a warning to her not to mention Louis and nder her. Or else Jasmine would offend the whole team. What a sharp-tongued bitch! Jasmine red at Violet and pulled a beautiful and curvaceous woman over. "Violet, don''t be cocky!" "I heard the makeup for the first and runner-up wille from your hand? The models selected by Century Entertainment are all beautiful and seeded for the first and second. And Jane Tate is going to be the winner! If she loses in the final because of your make-up, I''ll make you sorry!" Hearing this, Violet looked sideways at the model named Jane. The woman was very tall and slender, who was also sizing her up. She indeed was poised. But ... "Miss Johnson, it''s good to have confidence, but too much is conceit. Please rest assured. I''m professional and will certainly help each contestant put on most suitable makeup." It was as if the winner was already set. Thepetition didn''t start yet, did it? Violet didn''t stay any longer and walked away quickly. Jasmine stared at her and just felt envy and hateful. Violet was merely a despicable woman. What made her so cocky? ¡°Ding.¡± There was a message on her phone. She took her phone out and instantly smiled smugly. Jasmine thought she was quite charming as usual, even Marcus became infatuated with her! He said he woulde to her soon to help make her wishe true! Up ahead, Violet followed the signs and came to a room. There were already quite a few people gathering inside. In addition to the team, there was Lucie and a few makeup artists. "Hi, Miss Elliott." Stanley saw Violeting and greeted. After a few pleasantries, David and Jessie also arrived. "Helena." David greeted her with a smile. "David ." Chapter 139 Chapter 139 Violet responded politely and nced at Jessie, who was looking at her unkindly. Jessie hold a grudge against her. Violet nodded at her slightly in a calm and confident manner. After Stanley gathered everyone and finished some notes, she had a short meeting with Lucie and other makeup artists. Tomorrow was the preliminary round and there were many models participating. So she divided the makeup artists into groups. She and Lucie were in charge of one team respectively. Then, she went over some makeup essentials. "Any questions?" Violet inquired when she was almost done talking. "No for now. If there are any problems, I willmunicate with you in time." Lucie said as she closed a file. Violet nodded and dered the meeting adjourned. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "Helena, the work is well organized! You''re an inborn leader." David saw that Violet was leaving and walked up to her with his hands in his pockets, joking. "David, are you making fun at me?" Violetughed and was holding the files. "I wouldn''t dare." Davidughed lightly and looked at the time, "It''s almost time for dinner. Would you like to join us?" David asked her to dinner? But she had already promised Isaac. Violet blinked, "David, if you don''t mind one more person, that''s fine with me." "Oh? You mean you already have a date?" David asked with a raised eyebrow. Violet smiled slightly and was about to speak when a message came in on her phone. It was a location sent by Isaac. He had arrived at the resort. Violet thought about it and typed, "I have finished the work. I''lle outter." "Who are you going to meet, Isaac? So you have an appointment with him today?" David leaned in closer to Violet to see what she was texting. Violet put away her phone and smiled, "Yes, David, if you don''t mind, I''ll pick up my friend and have dinner with you." He didn''t mind it, but someone certainly did! David rubbed his chin and followed Violet to pick up Isaac. When he saw Violet and Issac standing together, he pulled out his phone and took a photo. Then he sent a message to Louis. "Louis, as a sponsor, are you really noting to inspect the work of the contest?" "Very busy, no time." Louis sent back. David raised his eyebrows and sent the photo he had just taken. "That''s a pity. It''s a beautiful ce. Perfect for dating!" Did anyone want to make a bet with him? David bet Louis wille over tonight! In the president''s office of Johnson Group. Louis watched the photo on his phone and his dark eyes narrowed. Isaac had followed her to Scarlett Resort! Violet hung out with her old me with his money with abandon! "Mr. Johnson, it''s almost time for the appointment with Mr. Bernard. We have to go." Harry knocked on the door and reminded him. "Postpone it. Come with me to Scarlett Resort." Louis once said that this kind of event was boring and he didn''t have to attend. ...... Scarlett Resort. The lobby of the tastefully decorated hotel. Jessie looked at David sitting beside Violet and serving her water. A strong hostility erupted in her eyes. Violet, a divorcee, why was she sofortable with it? "Miss Shaw, are you alone? Do you mind me?" Chapter 140 Chapter 140 She heard a woman''s voice. Jessie looked up and saw Jasmine pulling a tall woman to her side. "Miss Johnson, have a seat." Jasmine sat down with a smile and introduced the woman next to her. "Miss Shaw, this is Jane Tate, ourpany''s most promising model. I hope you can take care of her these days." Jessie smiled and was nomittal. As a special guest, she had a crucial veto in the final. Therefore, there were many people who came to cotton up to her. Of course, she couldn''t just give them the green light. "Miss Shaw, David is over there, right? Why aren''t you having dinner with him?" Jasmine''s eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Jessie, who was not looking too good, and continued to speak. "In the promo photo of the new movie, you and David are a good match. The way David is looking at you is full of tenderness. They are saying, ''If you weren''t married, you and David would be the perfect couple!''.¡± She heard that Jessie liked David, and the way Jessie looked at Violet just now was enraged. She knew that look all too well! It was a look from the love rival. The enemy of her enemy was her friend. She wanted to be friends with Jessie! In this way, she could teach Violet a lesson! "Jesus, Miss Johnson, don''t follow the others'' nonsense. He doesn''t like me. Look, there''s a person he likes." Jessie thought Jasmine''s words was pleasant to the ear. She and David were a perfect match, weren''t they? If he liked her, she could divorce her husband for him. Unfortunately, he didn''t care about her. Instead, he helped Violet make fun of her! Jessie just thought about it and the rage nearly consumed her! "Miss Shaw, are you saying that David likes Violet?" Jasmine looked surprised, "Violet is my ex-sister-inw. I know her too well! She''s a woman who''s been sleeping around with men before she got divorced." "Did you see the man she was with? He''s an architect of ourpany. He should be my boyfriend, but now ..." Jasmine pretended to be aggrieved and indignant, which resonated with Jessie. "She''s such a lowly woman. Someone should really teach her a lesson." "No, Jessie. I do have an idea." "What''s the idea?" "Jane, what are you waiting for? Serve the tea! I hope she can take care of you in thispetition." At the other table. Violet and them were having their meals. "Violet, here." Habitually, Isaac treated Violet so well and cut the steak for her. Violet thanked him and was ready to eat it. "Hey, wait, Helena. It has too much fat. Have the fish." David smiled and chucked the steak out of her te, then passed her the fish. Violet blinked. Without waiting for her to say anything, Isaac put another piece of beef into her te. "Violet is too skinny. She can eat it, and she can''t get fat." "Wrong, people get fat over time." All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "Mr. Bergen, Violet is not a celebrity. So it''s okay to be obese." "Women like to be slim!" "You like slim women?" The twopeted with each other, neither giving in to the other. Violet gave a hollowugh, not knowing why these two people would suddenly quarrel. "I am okay with both dishes. The food is getting cold. You guys should eat too." Isaac looked at David and didn''t say another word, but took a crab and started picking its meat. David looked at his long, clean hands and ate his food in silence. This Isaac was not likeable. Chapter 141 Chapter 141 ¡°Louis, I can''t help you. Help yourself!¡± said David in his heart. "Violet, here." Isaac picked the crab roe and meat onto the te and handed it to Violet, then went on to peel another one. "Isaac, that''s enough. Thank you." Violet looked embarrassed. "It''s okay. You like it." Isaac smiled gently and continued to focus on the task at hand. David watched Issac who was proficient at doing this, and knew without asking that he often did this kind of work for Violet. He was really devoted to Violet. David surreptitiously took a photo and sent it to Louis. "Look at his workmanship! I consider myself inferior to him." On the highway, Louis, who closed his eyes for rest, picked up his phone and and his thin lips tightly He was getting more and more irritated. Pulling the tie, he once again closed his eyes. In the hotel lobby, the three of them had finished their meals. David''s agent came looking for him, so he left first. Violet and Isaac walked around for a while and talked to Josie and her daughter on the video phone. After that, Violet got ready to go back to her room. "Isaac, I''m going back to my room. What about you?" "No, I have to meet with a client here tomorrow, so I booked a room here early in the morning." Isaac said with a smile. "Then you should go back to your room early and rest." "Okay, good night. Cheers for tomorrow." Isaac made a cheering gesture. Violet smiled brightly, waved to him, and went back to her room. In the luxury suite, David satzily in a sofa. Looking at the man standing at the window with his hands in his pockets, David smiled smugly. "Louis, mere standing is useless. If you want to chase her, you must act right now. Look at Isaac. He let me know what tterer is." Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Hearing what he said, Louis nced at him with aloofness. "You want me to be a tterer?" "Oh, you can''t. Then wait for your ex-wife''s wedding invitation!" David spoke carelessly. Louis stared at him, and he could imagined a scene which Violet was in her wedding dress, looking at Isaac with shyness. He was distracted by his imagination again. Violet wanted to take his money and marry someone else! Don''t even think about it! "I haven''t had dinner yet." Louis looked out the window and burst out in a cold voice. So what? David looked at the back of some arrogant man and wanted tough a little. "Louis, do you mean I need to ask Violet out for you?" "No, you''re the one who''s hungry and want snacks. And you ask her out to apany you." David was at a loss for words. Sorry, he was an entertainer, and he didn''t usually eat snacks, okay? The other room. Violet finished her bathfortably, and was ready to lie down on the bed. A sudden throbbing pain in her belly made her face changed. What happened? Why did her stomach hurt so much? Was it because of food? Her chest began to tighten and her stomach began to turn sour. Violet rushed to the bathroom and vomited. And her phone was ringing abruptly. Violet stood up breathlessly, only to feel the angina in her stomach. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she covered her stomach and trudged over to the bed and picked up the phone. "Hello, David ?" "Helena, what''s wrong with you? Why do you sound so weakly." "David , my stomach hurts." Chapter 142 Chapter 142 Hospital. "Doctor, how is she?" "Acute gastroenteritis. She''s fine now. And she can only eat lighter food in the next two days." "Thank you." David sent the doctor out and let out a long breath. Sweeping his eyes to the man on the side, David said, "Louis, it''s okay. Just a false rm." Louis nced at him and turned toward the ward. "You had dinner together at night. Why are you fine and she has acute gastroenteritis?" Davidughed, "Louis, are you ming me? I think she ate too much crab. It''s Issac''s fault! After all, he was the one who prepared the loving dinner with his own hands." Louis instantly became sullen and red coldly at David. David made a fake smile, not daring to make a move. But in his heart, he was sarcastic about it. Louis still said he didn''t like Violet. The moment he heard she had a stomachache, he ran faster than anyone else toe to her rescue! When the two of them entered the ward, Violet was already awake. "Helena, how is it? Does your stomach still hurt?" David went to the bedside and asked with concern. Violet moved her body and tried to sit up. David went to help her. But his hand was stopped when he felt a cold draught around his neck. When he turned his head to the side, he met Louis''s cool dark eyes. David dared not speak. Louis, even if they had divorced, still treated his ex-wife as his own property! And he won''t let anyone else get close to her! "David , thank you for taking me to the hospital." Violet sat up and barely smiled at David. She was on the verge of passing out from the pain. Fortunately, David arrived in time. "Don''t thank me. I''m just a handyman. It was Louis who carried you into the hospital." David pointed to Louis and smiled meaningfully. Violet looked at Louis, and the scene of him picking her up came to her mind. His warm and broad chest, strong arms... all made her feel reassuring. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Violet suppressed her inner stirring and smiled gratefully towards Louis. "Mr. Johnson, thank you." Louis'' dark eyes fixed on her, "Did crabs taste good? You deserve to be in the hospital!" ¡°Bro, if you talk like that, you deserve to fail to catch her!¡± said David in his heart. "Ahem, Helena, I still have some unfinished business. I gotta go first." He won''t stay here to be the third wheel. "Okay, David. Thank you again." Violet said in a hurry. "It''s okay. Louis, I''ll leave you to it." David waved his hand, looked at Louis, and then left with stride. The ward was quiet now. Violet looked at the expressionless man and just felt ufortable. "Mr. Johnson, if you have something to do, you can leave too. I''m fine alone." Louis nced at her, "You ask me to leave so you can call your old me Isaac to take care of you?" Louis can''t be too imaginative! "Mr. Johnson, I didn''t think of it that way. I was just afraid of dying your work." "It''ste. I''m a human being, not a machine. I don''t need to work." Louis said in a cold voice. Violet choked, "Then you have to rest! I''m neither your rtive nor friend. So I''m notfortable with you being here to take care of me." She said she was neither his rtive nor friend! Louis leaned over slightly and propped his hands on the sides of the bed, looking directly at Violet. "Violet, anyhow, you''re still my ex-wife. When I see something happen to you, I won''t just turn a blind eye." Chapter 143 Chapter 143 The man''s deep eyes looked calm and with no emotion. Violet''s heart beat a little faster. Unconsciously, she leaned back and averted her eyes. "Then, then I thank you." The woman''s face was still pale, with sickly tenderness. Louis straightened his body slightly and reached for the medicine on the table. "Your face is as white as a ghost. Why didn''t you eat more crabs and see God? " This person was having trouble with crabs? It was not like she didn''t eat like this in the past! Violet was a bit speechless, thinking back to what she ate at dinner. When she thought of something, her face changed slightly. "No, it''s not the crab. It''s the drink. I ordered a ss of mango juice. But the taste, it seemed a bit strange." At that time, she was so focused on chatting that didn''t care about anything else. Now that she could remember it. The taste of that ss of juice was not right. It was a bit like mango juice, but mixed with other vors. Like ...pear! This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Pear and crab together can be poisonous! "You mean someone tampered with the juice you drank? Violet, you''re so unpopr. Louis poured a ss of water and handed it to Violet, then handed her the medicine. The man''s eyes were slightly cold, and the corners of his mouth turned upwards in mockery. He was scolding her again! Violet swallowed the word "thank you" and took the medicine. "Mr. Johnson, why don''t you say I''m too good so that people hate me?" Narcissism! Louis snorted lightly, "You''re so good. That''s why your old lover keeps thinking about you. Just waiting for you to get a divorce. So you can be with him with thepensation I gave you." Again, Violet was at a loss for words. What he said today was really sarcastic. He kept mentioning ¡°old me¡±. Did he have to be so jealous? Violet moved her lips and wanted to retort. But she thought of one thing, she suppressed the fire in her heart. "Mr. Johnson, it''s not what you think. I only treat Isaac as a normal friend. I divorced you, and it has nothing to do with him." The fact that she had given birth to a child always fooled him. Therefore, she could not help but feel a little apologetic and guilty. "It has nothing to do with him. So who?" Louis narrowed his eyes, "Violet, shouldn''t you exin to me about Erin?" Hearing this question, Violet turned to look at him. "I''m sorry, Mr. Johnson, for hiding it from you. When I married you, I was already a single mother." She admitted it herself! Louis'' cold eyes stared at her slightly. "Tell me, who is Erin''s real father? Is it Isaac? You take great pains to let Josie raise Erin with so that you could marry me. Then get a nice divorce settlement. And reunite as a family of three when it was all over?" This man was really too good at making connections! "Mr. Johnson, I can swear to God that Isaac and I are not rted. And if I lie, let me ..." "That''s enough." Louis interrupted Violet''s oath and looked at her, "Then tell me, who is Erin''s real father?" Who was Erin''s real father? She wanted to know it too! Violet''s eyes flickered slightly and she averted her eyes, "The child''s father is dead. I don''t want to talk about it anymore." She didn''t want to tell him that Erin was the product of one night stand. Let''s pretend this man didn''t exist! The woman''s face was as pale as paper, and it could tell from her face that she resisted mentioning it again. Louis looked at her and his thin lips pursed. She said Erin''s father was dead? Was it true? Chapter 144 Chapter 144 "Violet, you have given birth but pretend to be an innocent. So you''ve been ying me false?" Louis glowered at the woman on the bed from above, with a cold and arrogant face. Violet nced at him, touching his dark eyes, with a guilty conscience. "Mr. Johnson, your family didn''t say I can''t give birth to the child before marriage, right? Of course, if you feel wronged, I can return thepensation to you." She can find excuses for herself. Louis'' dark eyes lowered, and he slightly bent down and approached Violet. "Violet, what I gave you will not be taken back. But you have to remember, I can''t be yed for nothing." He would ask her for something back butpensation! Louis finished his words, looked at the IV fluids and rang the call bell. Violet blinked and wanted to ask Louis what he meant. But then she decided not to do so. This man was temperamental and domineering. At this juncture, she''d better keep her mouth shut. Lest he really send her to jail for fraudulent marriage! Who''s stomach was growling? Violet was stunned and looked down at her stomach. Immediately she felt embarrassed. She had just vomited and had diarrhea. Now her stomach was empty! She was so desperate for something tasty! "Violet, you''re really like a pig. Eating and then shitting, and then eating again afterwards." The man''s taunting words came to her ears, and Violet''s face was hot. She raised her eyes to re at him but saw his back as he turned away. How can he speak so badly! Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Who asked him to take care of her? "Miss Nurse, is there anything to eat around here? Can you order a takeaway for me?" Violet saw a nursee in. Suppressing her inner depression, she asked with a smile. "Madam, your husband specially instructed me to keep an eye on you. And not let you order anything to eat. You have to wait for him to return." The nurse said with a smile. Louis wanted her to wait for him? Where was he going? Violet blinked, thought of what the nurse called Louis, and hurriedly said, "You are mistaken. He is not my husband." "Oh, you''re not married yet? Then your boyfriend is so handsome and considerate to you! He will be a good husband in the future." Forget it. She didn''t bother to exin. She wouldn''t necessarilye back to this hospital anyway. ...... In the resort. A luxury suite. A man leaned back on the bedhead, took out a pack of cigarette and lit one. The smoke rose. The man squinted in a pleasant way. A woman sleeping on the side was flushed, with the afterglow of passion still lingering in her face. Her red fingernails gently glided over the man''s pectoral muscles, then slowly moving down. "Marcus, are you really trying to help me because you like me? Why don''t I believe that?" Marcus blew a smoke ring, and then put out the cigarette. He turned slightly sideways, took the woman''s naughty hand, put it to his lips and kissed it. "Jasmine, don''t you believe in your charm? You are one of the most famousdies in Crotosi City. How many men are silently watching you and want to connect to you?" Hearing this, Jasmine smiled smugly. She pulled her hand out of the man''s hand and hooked it around his neck. "But do all the men have possessiveness? If you really like me, why did you promise me that you''ll find a way to get Isaac? ¡°Shouldn''t there be a domineering deration? That I am your woman and no one is allowed to get their hands on me?" With her words, Marcus smiled flirtatiously and hugged her to his arms. "Jasmine, I am open-minded. If I like you, I ept your entirety. Of course I want to have you all to myself, but I want you to be happy !" The man was good0looking and his eyes were even more seductive. Jasmine was coaxed and wild with joy. She lightly punched his pecs and said, "Sweet talker." Chapter 145 Chapter 145 "Is that so? So do you want to try it again?" The man''s delicate kissesnded on Jasmine. Seeing her mesmerized look, the corners of Marcus'' mouth were lightly turned upwards, and his eyes were filled with mockery. ...... The entrance of the resort. "Mr. Johnson, the porridge is ready. And the surveince video of the kitchen area, I''ve copied it over too." In the car, Harry ced the boiled porridge aside and sent the copied video to Louis'' phone. Louis clicked on the video, and watched it carefully. Violet didn''t know whom she offended again and got her into the hospital. He had to find out the truth for that stupid woman. "Mr. Johnson, are we going back to the hospital now?" Harry inquired as he started the car. "Yeah." Louis watched the video, and his dark eyes narrowed. The people who came and went in the kitchen were basically waiters. Except for only two people ... Hospital. Violet was hungry and dazed, and she didn''t know when she fell asleep. When she woke up again, the day already broke. She looked around and found Louis leaning back against a couch with his eyes closed. When did hee back? He stayed here with her all night! Violet blinked, lifted the cover and got out of bed. Then she grabbed a coat, and gently covered him up. The man''s eyes were closed, and he looked less stern and more peaceful. His handsome features were like the most outstanding paintings of the heavens, which inexplicably made her feel good. Violet looked at him, and her eyes fell on his thin lips. Her mind shed back to their intimate Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. encounter. Searingly hot, with a hint of seduction ... What was she thinking about!? Violet''s face blushed with heat. Hastily, she patted her face and was about to back away when she saw the man abruptly open his eyes. Now, they were looking at each other. One was cold, and the other flustered. "Good morning! You, you''re awake!" Violet simper and had inexplicable sense of guilt. She didn''t know why she felt that way. Louis slowly stood up. His probing gaze fell on her face, then he smirked. "Violet, you spied on me?" "No!" "Wipe your saliva." Violet was startled and subconsciously reached up to wipe the corner of her mouth. But the corner of her mouth was dry ... The man was making fun of her! Violet''s body was tingling. Beholding his teasing look, she hurriedly turned around and went to the bathroom. "I''ll go wash up." What a shame! Looking at the woman''s fleeing figure, Louis smiled and was in a good mood. At this time, Violet''s cell phone rang. Louis walked over and his facial expression slightly froze. It was Isaac''s call. Louis nced at the bathroom, reached out and picked up the phone. "Violet, are you awake? Open the door. I''ve got your breakfast." Isaac was standing outside of Violet''s room. He was indeed very attentive. Louis'' thin lips pursed, "No need Isaac. Violet was with mest night. We''ll have breakfast together." Chapter 146 Chapter 146 Louis hung up the phone straight after he finished. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. At the other end, Isaac was stunned. He looked at the breakfast he was carrying, and his fingers tugged tight. Louis was herest night? And Violet was with him too? He didn''t believe it! They divorced. And Violet was not that kind of woman. Isaac rang the doorbell again, but there was no answer. So, they were really togetherst night? Hospital. Violet came out of the bathroom and went to get her cell phone. She thought she just heard her phone ring. But there was no missed call. Did she hear it wrong? "Violet, Isaac just called. I answered it for you." Louis'' voice came from behind her. Violet blinked and turned to look at him, "You answered the phone for me?" "Yes, Isaac brought you breakfast. I told him it wasn''t necessary because we were, and are together." Louis spoke with a nd expression. Violet stared at him nkly, "No, Mr. Johnson. How can you just take my phone call and talk nonsense?" The way he exined to Issac as if there was something between her and him. "I''m talking nonsense? We are not togetherst night and now?" Louis turned to indifference and looked at Violet. Violet gave a hollow smile, "You''re right, but it just sounds weird." "Weird? "Violet, are you afraid Issac will misunderstand us?¡± Louis slowly walked up to Violet. His dark eyes were deep with chillness. Violet unconsciously took a step back, and her body was leaning against the corner of the table. "No, it''s just ..." "Just what?" Louis came closer, and there was a hint of strength in his tone. Violet pursed her lips and pushed him away. "Mr. Johnson, we''re divorced. I don''t have to confess everything to you." He made she look like she had been cheating on him and was caught red-handed. There was no need for him to do that! Louis'' face didn''t look good, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a few degrees. Violet was inexplicably nervous. She pursed her lips and softened her tone, "I''m sorry, Mr. Johnson. I didn''t mean anything else, but I just want to make a career right now. I don''t want to be distracted from other things. It''s gettingte. I have to get back." After that, Violet packed up her belongings and was ready to leave. "What''s the hurry? Finish your breakfast before you go." Louis looked at the breakfast on the table and said in a cold voice. "No, I''m in a hurry." "Don''t you want to know who made you sick yesterday?" His words that managed to make Violet stop in her tracks. She looked at Louis, "Mr. Johnson, what do you know?" Louis didn''t say anything, but opened a thermos. "Eat it." The aroma of food wafted through the air, and Violet swallowed and looked at the thermos. It had Scarlett Resort written on it. So, Louis went backst night and ordered people to make it for her? She was ttered! Violet looked at Louis and thanked him from the bottom of her heart, "That, thanks." Louis did not say anything, but the expression on his face was not as cold as it was just now. So he also had the potential to be a tterer? Louis despised himself fiercely in his heart. Watching Violet sipping the porridge, he took out his phone and clicked on the surveince video. "This is the surveince video of the kitchen area. There are two suspicious people in it. You can judge for yourself." Chapter 147 Chapter 147 The surveince camera did not capture anyone putting anything in Violet''s drink. But if someone was really setting Violet up, then there were two people who were suspicious. Violet swallowed the food in her mouth and watched the video. She was both surprised and touched. At this moment, Violet had a different feeling for him. He made her want to worship him! Thanks to him! Violet was busy checking the video, and her face was slightly tense. In the video, apart from some waiters, there were two other people who appeared in the kitchen. One was Lucie, and the other was Jessie''s assistant. The two didn''t get along with Violet. So, which one of them set her upst night? "Finished watching? Any judgment?" Louis saw Violet watching thoughtfully and asked in a light voice. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Violet handed the phone back to him and answered truthfully, "No judgment." "Stupid enough." Louis just had a knack to instantly transfer her admiration for him into annoyance. For the sake of all the things he did for her, she wasn''t angry! Violet ate the porridge up and smiled to please him. "Yes, how can Ipete with you? You''re the supremely intelligent." Heh! She was evenplimenting him! But she could be more ttering! Louis snorted, "Violet, look at you. You''re like a dog pleasing its master." He called her a dog! Violet suppressed the anger in her chest and put away the thermos with her eyes slightly downcast. No anger! No anger! Anger aged her! "Mr. Johnson, thank you again for the breakfast. I''ll judge what happenedst night. Now I really must go." She''ll bete if she didn''t leave. "I''ll walk you there." Louis grabbed his coat and walked out the door. The man''s back was tall and straight, and he walked with an aura of his own. Violet pursed her lips and looked at the thermos in her hand. She must always remind herself that he was so good to her, not because of affection. Probably because of Maria and Luka. She always remembered what he had said. He didn''t like her! ...... The Resort. A certainrge banquet hall was temporarily decorated as apetition venue. The bottom of the stage had long been filled with people from all walks of life rted to this They were all waiting for the Sunlite Model Contest to begin. A private room at the back of the stage was packed with people. The staff of the program was giving the models their numbers in batches. Makeup artists were already there, just waiting for Violet to arrive and help the models who were going to be on the stage put on their makeup. "Sorry, I''mte." Violet arrived in a hurry, and was breathless. "Helena, can we start now?" Lucie inquired as she saw Violet arrive and looked at the time. Violet nced at her and nodded, "Yes." Lucie''s expression was calm, and there was no guilt in her eyes. So, what happenedst night had nothing to do with Lucie? But if something happened to her and she couldn''t attend the contest today, then the biggest beneficiary would be Lucie, wouldn''t it? Violet temporarily suppressed the doubts in her mind and started to work with the staff to let the models "Violet, you look a bit pale. Did something happenst night? You won''t be able to put on makeup today, right? If you can''t hold on, you must say it." The woman''s voice rang in her ears, with gloating. Violet paused, raised her eyes to look at the person who wasing over. Chapter 148 Chapter 148 The person who came over was Jasmine who led the models to the waiting room. Violet''s eyes moved slightly and looked at her, then averted. "I''m fine. Thanks for your concern." Jasmine won''t so kind as to care about Violet. She would only make fun of her. The way how Jasmine asked her gave her a feeling that Jasmine was deliberate. So, did she have something to do with what happenedst night? Violet did not think deeply, but went back to work. When all the models finished their makeup, she began to check them one by one. At this moment, there was already music outside, signaling that the Sunlite Model Contest was about to start. Today was the first day of the preliminary , and the contest willst from morning to evening. The makeup artist''s duty was to apply make up for every models constantly. At noon, Violet was hungry, and a group of make-up artists were still doing make-up for several groups of models who hadpeted in the morning. Isaac came in with food in his hand. "Violet." Violet was surprised, "Isaac, what are you doing here?" "I brought you some food over." Isaac smiled faintly and shook the food in his hand. "Helena, you haven''t eaten yet! Just leave it to us here." A young make-up artist said with a smile. "Okay, thank you." Violet smiled, put her makeup tools away, and walked with Isaac to a room. "Isaac, actually you don''t need to send something here specially. There are box lunch served here." Isaac opened a soup box, "Boxed meals are not nutritious. I ordered a few dishes you love." The aroma of rib soup hit her nose, and Violet felt even more hungry. "Thanks, Isaac." "No problem. Eat it while it''s hot." Isaac said gently. Thinking of something, he asked with a slight hesitation, "I called you this morning. Mr. Johnson answered. Last night, you ..." "Oh, I had stomachachest night. And it was he and David who took me to the hospital." Violet exined. So that was it! Isaac''s heart was relieved. Louis did it on purpose, didn''t he? He said it so ambiguously on purpose. But ... "Violet, why? Is it because you ate too much crab?" Isaac asked with concern. Violet was chewing food, paused, thenughed, "I can''t figure it out. Probably yesterday I was too hungry and overate." She didn''t want to tell Isaac what she guessed. Lest he would worry. "I''m sorry, Violet. I gave you too much crab." Isaac looked apologetic. "It''s not your fault. I''ve eaten like that before." Violet hastened to cate him. Isaac stopped talking and looked at her tenderly instead. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Seeing there was a rice on the corner of her mouth, he smiled and pulled out a tissue to wipe it for her. "Violet, don''t rush. You can take your time." "Well, the models areing in, so I have to eat quickly." When Jasmine came in with a few models, she saw the scene of Isaac warmly wiping the corners of Violet''s mouth. At once, her eyes were full of jealousy. "Violet is too prestigious to have box lunch." Seeing that it was Jasmine who came in, Isaac instantly blocked in front of Violet with a wary face. He was afraid of that Jasmine would do something to Violet. Violet had almost finished eating and didn''t want to pay attention Jasmine. She cleaned up the dishes and said to Isaac, "Isaac, thank you for the lunch. I''m going to work." Chapter 149 Chapter 149 "Okay." Isaac turned around, and his tone softened. They simply ignored Jasmine. Jasmine felt a sh of irritation. "Violet, these two models are both first-ss. Because of your makeup, they were eliminated in the preliminary round! Tell me, are you deliberately taking revenge on me? How can you be a director with such skill?" Hearing these words, Violet paused in her steps. She looked at the models beside Jasmine, and was somewhat clear in her mind. Every unit that came to participate in thepetition would have their own seeded contestants, as well as apanying contestants. Obviously, the two should be the apanying contestants. Jasmine really had so much time that she deliberately looked for trouble. "Miss Jasmine is well-informed! You already know the result before thepetition is over?" It seemed that someone had revealed to her the inside information? Who was it? Jasmine shouted, "This is the preliminary. I can guess from the judges'' scores!" "Oh, is that right?" Violet responded meaningfully, then asked: "You say I retaliate against you. Then I would like to ask a question. Why should I retaliate against you? Is it becausest night, you made me have a stomachache?" What she said made Jasmine momentarily speechless. Isaac, who had been standing beside Violet, knitted his brows. "Miss Johnson, what have you done to Violet again? Why are you so mean and target Violet twice?" He said she was mean! Jasmine''s face changed. "Isaac, I''m targeting her because of you! If you''re willing to be my boyfriend, I won''t do it to this woman." "Jasmine, please watch your wording!" Isaac lowered his head and scolded. Jasmine red at him, "Did I say something wrong? Isn''t she a divorced woman?" "You!" Everyone around them looked in that direction, and Violet hastily pulled Isaac. "Isaac, you should go first." It was not worth arguing with someone like Jasmine in front of the crowd. Isaac looked at her, and his mood got better. "Okay, I''m going out first. But I''ll wait here until you finish your work because I have time this afternoon." "Okay." Violet nodded and watched Isaac leave. Watching the interaction between the two, Jasmine gritted her teeth. ¡°Isaac, if you won''t agree to be my boyfriend, don''t me me for using improper means!¡± said Jasmine in her heart. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. "Miss Jasmine, is there anything else? If nothing, I''ll go to work." Violet said in a light voice, and then prepared to go to work. "Violet, I''m warning you. If you tamper with my models'' makeup in the final, you''ll pay for that." Jasmine gave her a cold warning. Violet looked back at her, "Miss Jasmine, since you are so worried that I will tamper the makeup, please behave yourself and stop trapping me." This was a model contest. Generally speaking, the makeup only yed a supporting role. But if she really wanted to do something about it, she''ll let the makeup take the lead! Violet finished and went to work. Jasmine''s eyes were filled with jealousy. After a long time, she took a deep breath and pulled out her phone and sent a message. It was impossible for Jasmine to stop trapping her! Violet was the bitch, and she will definitely make her feel sorry! In the afternoon. During break, Violet took a sip of water and went out to the bathroom. "Miss Elliott, the restroom over here is broken. You have to go over there." A waiter politely pointed to the other end. Violet nced at him and smiled as she thanked him, "Thank you." "You''re wee." The waiter smiled faintly and there was maliciousness shing in his eyes. Violet obeyed the instruction and went to the restroom at the other end. Passing around the corner, there was a faint sound of footstepsing from behind her. Without waiting for her to turn around, she only felt a pain in her neck ... Chapter 150 Chapter 150 In one corner of the resort, there were many journalists and visitors standing around. They were waiting for the Sunlite Model Contest to be over so that they could have a chance to see the models. Isaac was standing on the periphery, making a phone call about his work. A waiter came over with a tray and handed out drinks to those present. Isaac took it and smiled slightly towards the waiter. After the phone call, he was a little thirsty and drained the water. At that moment, he received a message on his phone. He picked it up and nced at it. Instantly, his eyes shed with surprise. It was a message from Violet, asking him to go to a VIP lounge on the second floor now. Wasn''t she busy? Why would she ask him to meet her in a VIP lounge? Isaac hesitated a little and walked over to the dressing area. When he got to the door, he looked around, but he didn''t see Violet''s figure. After thinking about it, he smiled and went up to the second floor. Coming to the room designated on the message, he pushed the door open. "Violet, do you have something to say me?" The room was dark. Isaac squinted, trying to wait for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. Only a dizzy spell went through his head, and his body suddenly heated up. Isaac''s breathing was slightly heavy, and it was obvious that he felt something different in his body. Something was wrong! What was happening to him? "Isaac!" A woman''s delicate voice came from not far away. Isaac breathed heavily and raised his eyes to look forward. The woman was walking with style. "Violet, is that you?" Isaac''s Adam''s apple rolled slightly. There was ayer of mist covering his eyes, so he could not see clearly. In a trance, the woman''s delicate and soft body pressed against his own. He embraced her, and Violet''s clear face appeared before his eyes. ...... A small storage room.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Violet leaned against the wall. Her brow furrowed, and she slowly opened her eyes. What she saw were some cleaning tools. This was a ce where cleaners put their tools. How could she be here? Violet hissed as she felt the dull pain in her head. She reached up to touch the back of her head. It hurt! She remembered! She was about to go the bathroom and attacked from behind! Who had attacked her? What did the attacker want to do? Violet got up holding the wall and opened the door. When she came outside, she took a deep breath and tried to clear her mind, but she couldn''t figure it out. After going to the bathroom, she washed her face with water to clear her head. "Helena, where have you been? It''s been an hour and I''ve been asking people to look for you. We''re so busy!" Lucie came to the bathroom andined when she saw Violet washing her face. Violet looked at her, "Lucie, I just got knocked out." Lucie was shocked and looked her up and down, "What happened? Are you all right? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Lucie''s reaction wasn''t abnormal. If she was acting, she could beparable to a movie queen. Violet had no idea, but intuitively thought Lucie was not the one who knocked her out. "I''m fine. But I have been unlucky in the past two days . Last night I had stomachache and went to the hospital. And today I was knocked out to unconsciousness. Hearing this, Lucie frowned, "Helena, are you suspecting me?" After all, Lucie hated her before. Violet was silent, "Can I trust you?" Lucie was a little angry, "Helena, believe it or not. The whole thing has nothing to do with me." She was not that mean. Chapter 151 Chapter 151 Lucie had been used as tool and she won''t make the mistake twice. After Lucie finished speaking, she was ready to go into the bathroom. Thinking of something, she stopped in her tracks. "Last night I went to the kitchen to look for a rtive of mine. I saw Jessie''s assistant there. Her expression wasn''t natural when she saw me. So maybe she has something to do with your stomachache." Hearing this, Violet pursed her lips. So, it was possible that the person who put her in the hospitalst night was Jessie? But Jasmine''s performance was also very suspicious, wasn''t it? With these two people around, she really needed to keep an extra eye out. Now she just wanted to know who just knocked her out? What did the attacker want to do? Violet couldn''t think deeper for now in that she have to go back to the dressing room. "Helene, you''re finally back! I searched a lot of ces but couldn''t find you just now." A young makeup artist was surprised to see Violete back. "Sorry, it was hard for you." Violet smiled apologetically. "It''s okay." The young makeup artist waved her hand and said hesitantly, "Miss Helene, do you know? The man who came to see you at noon made some news." Something happened to Issac? Violet was shocked and asked quickly, "What happened to him?" "When I went to look for you just now, I saw him and the Johnson family''s daughter. They were in a VIP room on the second floor. They flirted with each other and was caught by the reporters loitering around." What!? Issac and Jasmine were flirting with each other? How was that possible? Violet was so shocked that she hurriedly went outside and took out her phone to call Issac. At this moment, there was amotion from not far away. "Miss Jasmine, aren''t you and this gentleman in a bit too much of a hurry?" "Miss Jasmine, please introduce him. This gentleman is from which noble family?" "Miss Jasmine, are you and this gentleman getting married?" "......" When Violet raised her eyes, she saw Jasmine and Issac standing together, surrounded by several reporters chasing after them. Jasmine was covered with a man''s jacket and holding Issac''s arm with a shy face. Issac''s eyes were dull, and his white shirt was wrongly buttoned, not as neat as he used to be. Violet hurriedly went forward and squeezed herself into the reporters. "Miss Jasmine, let go of him." Seeing that it was Violet who came over, Issac''s eyes lit up. But when he thought of something, the light in his eyes slowly faded away again, reced by a hidden pain. On the side, Jasmine held his arm tightly and whispered in his ear. "Issac, I won''t joke with you. If you don''t cooperate with me, I''ll sue you for rape!" Issac''s eyes were a little red. Clenching his fists tight, his eyes were full of anger when he looked at Jasmine. Damned woman! She must have set him up! Jasmine was not annoyed. Instead, she smiled sweetly towards him and then looked at Violet. "Violet, this is my fianc¨¦. Why should I let go of him?" Fianc¨¦!? Violet almostughed in anger. "Miss Jasmine, don''t make a fool of yourself! Issac is not even your boyfriend. How can he be your fiance?" "Is that so? Honey, you tell her. Are you my fiance?" Jasmine leaned on Issac''s side and spoke petntly. Issac did not say anything, but his eyes were red. "Issac, don''t be embarrassed! Tell everyone, what exactly is our rtionship?" Jasmine put some force in her hand and secretly pinched Issac hard. Jasmine red at her. After a while, he pulled away her hand in her warning. "You can say whatever you want to." After saying that, he left in stride. "Issac, wait for me!" jasmine called out, looked at the reporters, and smiled shyly. "Issac is shy. We were having a disagreement a few days ago. So he couldn''t wait toe over and apany me today. But I didn''t expect to be photographed by you guys. Please please please don''t All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. over-publicize our affair." Chapter 152 Chapter 152 Violet was dumbfounded as she watched them leave one after the other. Isaac had admitted that he was Jasmine''s fianc¨¦!? Why did he do it? Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. And why was he with Jasmine just now? "Helena, you have no time. Please hurry up and get to work." Lucie came over to call he. Violet came back to her senses, suppressed the urgency of digging into the event and followed Lucie back to the dressing room. On the other hand, Louis came out of the resort after greeting the leaders of the team, and was talking things over with a few nearby coborators. Harry walked up to him and whispered a few words in his ear. Louis frowned and was a little surprised. Why was there news about Jasmine and Isaac being together? What was his half-sister up to again? "Sorry, I got something to do. That''s all for today." Louis got up and shook hands with a few coborators, then left with Harry. In the make-up room, Violet finally finished all the work. Then she couldn''t wait to call Isaac. She had waited for quite a long time and Issac finally answered at thest minute. "Isaac, where are you? Let''s meet up." "I''m in my room." Isaac''s voice was a little disappointed. Violet hung up the phone and went straight to his room. Violet knocked on the door, and Isaac came over to open it in his white bathrobe. His face did not look too good. "Isaac, what the hell is going on here? How did you end up with Jasmine?" Violet looked at him and asked anxiously. Isaac looked at her calmly and his eyes were red from holding back. "Say something!" Violet was anxious and urged him. Isaac pressed his emotions and said, "I received a message from you this afternoon. Asking me to go to a VIP room on the second floor to look for you. I had my doubts, so I went to the dressing room to see if you''re there. And I didn''t see you, so I went to the room on the second floor." Hearing this, Violet froze. "I didn''t send you any message! I ..." Feeling a sudden pain in the back of her head, Violet suddenly understood something. Someone had knocked her out and used her phone to send Isaac a message to meet her in the VIP room! It had to be Jasmine! Violet''s chest rose and fell as she pulled Isaac''s hand. "Isaac, it was Jasmine. She had someone lure me away and then used my phone to send you a message. But when you went up there and found out I wasn''t there, why didn''t you leave in time?" "Because she had someone put something in the water I was drinking. That made me hallucinate. When I went in, I took her for you ..." Isaac''s hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, and his eyes were filled with disgusted humiliation. He took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "Afterwards ... she said she was going to sue me if I didn''t cooperate with her. I really don''t know why she did this to me!" Violet''s red lips were pursed as she looked at Isaac''s reddened eyes, and her heart was filled with self- recrimination and pity. "Isaac, you''re too good. It''s also my fault. If I hadn''t been too careless today, I wouldn''t have let you encounter this kind of thing." Isaac looked at Violet, and the pain in his eyes increased when he thought that he had mistaken another woman for her. He reached out and hugged her, and his tone was a little hoarse, "Violet, it''s none of your business. It''s probably all God''s n." He was about to brush past her again when she was restored to singleness. The man''s voice was full of hidden sadness. Violet''s body stiffened slightly, and her hands clenched into fists. Isaac was such a wonderful man! She thought of him as the most affectionate brother. Would she stand idly by and watch him being forced to marry that terrible woman Jasmine? At that moment, a sharp female voice came from behind her. "What are you doing?" It was Jasmine''s voice. Violet''s face went cold, and after Isaac let go of her, she turned back to look at Jasmine. Jasmine strode aggressively up to her in heels and her eyes were full of viciousness. "Bitch!" Jasmine cursed her and raised her hand, trying to p Violet. Chapter 153 Chapter 153 Violet grabbed her hand quickly, then shook her off and pped her in Jasmine''s face. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. "Ah!" Jasmine stumbled and fell straight to the ground. She covered her face and looked at Violet with a dismayed expression. "Bitch! How dare you hit me!?" "You deserve it! Bitch!" Violet''s pretty face was calm as she looked at Jasmine from a high position. Jasmine got up from the ground, stared at Violet, and felt a jolt of anger. "Violet, who are you calling bitch? Isaac is my fianc¨¦. What are you doing hugging my fianc¨¦? Why are you so slutty!?" "No one is as slutty as you are!" Violet looked at Jasmine angrily, "Jasmine, you are really disgusting. Using such dishonorable means to get Isaac. Are you happy with that? Won''t you feel shameless?" Hearing this, Jasmine giggled. "Violet, get it straight. No matter what, he slept with me. And he took advantage of me, okay? Don''t make it look like you''re being coerced." "You!" "What?" Jasmine sneered, "Violet, you look angry! You say you didn''t like Isaac, right? Why are you yelling like that? Do you mind if he''s with another woman? I''ve recorded the footage of Isaac and I having sex just now. If you''re interested, I''ll send you a copy!" Violet was so shocked that couldn''t speak for a moment. She had actually recorded their sex video. How perverted was this! "Jasmine, you''ve had enough! I''ve never seen such a shameless woman like you!" Isaac couldn''t stand it any longer and angrily rebuked Jasmine. Jasmine''s face changed and she walked up to Isaac. "Isaac, who are you calling shameless? I''m your fiancee. If I''m shameless, you''re shameless too!" "Jasmine, you are lunatic." Isaac pushed Jasmine away in disgust. Jasmine, furious, rushed up to Isaac to scratch him. "Isaac, try cursing at me one more time? Do you believe I will let you go to jail!?" Isaac was a gentleman, and did want to fight with her. Dodging, his face and chest were scratched several times by Jasmine. Violet rushed forward to help. "Jasmine, you let go of him!" "Fuck off!" Jasmine was angry and pushed Violet away with a lot of force. Violet was unsteady on her feet and was pushed to stumble and fall. A strong support came from her waist. And she smell the familiar scent of a man. Violet''s head was sideways, and she met Louis'' cold and sharp eyes. Louis was here. Violet pursed her lips and stood up straight without saying a word. Louis nced at her, then fixated his eyes on Jasmine who was still beating Isaac up. "Jasmine, are you finished?" Jasmine finally let go of Isaac, smoothing her hair and panting. Isaac was in some disarray, straightening his pulled-apart bathrobe. His was expression full of exasperation. Violet walked quickly to his side and looked at him with a worried expression. Isaac forced a smile at her. The two looked at each other, like a couple being forced apart. Louis narrowed his eyes and pursed his thin lips. "Violet, you stay away from my fianc¨¦!" Jasmine saw the situation and called out again. Violet became indifferent and was about to speak when Louis opened his mouth. "Can one of you tell me what''s going on here?" Chapter 154 Chapter 154 "Louis, now Isaac is my fianc¨¦. Your shameless ex-wife is still stalking him!" Jasmine screamed as she red at Violet. Violet almostughed because of anger, "Jasmine, who is shameless? I''m telling you, Isaac is not going to marry you!" "Is that so?" Jasmine fixed her hair, "Violet, I have evidence he sexually assaulted me! If you want him to go to jail, just stop us from being together." The woman''s face was smug and disgusting. Violet tugged her fist in anger. "Violet, leave me alone." Isaac closed his eyes and spoke. "Isaac." Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Violet wanted to say something, for she was worried about him. "Go back to your room. I''ll leave here soon." Isaac reluctantly smiled. Violet looked at him, feeling distressed. Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly, reached out to pull Violet over, and said in a deep voice, "Let''s go." What kind of look was that? She didn''t want Isaac to marry? After watching the two leave, Jasmine leaned over to Isaac with tion, "Isaac, don''t go. Have dinner with me." Isaac pushed her away, "Jasmine, you win. But I can tell you. If you marry me, you can be a lifetime widow!" With words finished, he mmed the door shut with a "bang". Jasmine was given a cold shoulder and her face twisted in resentment. Let her be a widow for life? Who did he want to keep his integrity for? He was still angry. She had such a great body shape, and she didn''t believe he won''t marry her in the future! Jasmine grunted coldly and smiled. A hot pain shot through her face and she hissed, covering her face. Violet was such a bitch! She would take revenge for that p! The other end. Violet broke away from Louis'' hand. "Mr. Johnson, I''m not in a good mood right now. Can you leave me alone?" Louis looked at her, and his eyes were cold and sharp. "You feel bad for Isaac and don''t want him to marry Jasmine?" "Jasmine is the daughter of the Johnson family. Many men of noble families out there want to marry her. Isaac, if he marries her, he''ll at least save himself a few more decades of struggle, right?" Hearing these words, Violet looked at him fiercely. "Mr. Johnson, you should know better than me how Jasmine''s character is. If it were you, would you be willing to marry such a vicious woman?" Louis lowered his eyes, "You''reparing Isaac with me? He''s just an ordinary man. He is fortunate enough to rte to my family!" "He doesn''t care about such fortune!" Violet had rage in her heart, so her tone was naturally very impulsive. "Mr. Johnson, in your eyes, are wemoners all money-minded and vain? But in my opinion, your so-called noble families are more snobbish and nasty than us ordinary civilians!" The woman had a pretty face but spoke aggressively. So in her mind, she ssified Isaac as one of her own, but considered him as the same kind of Jasmine! Louis'' breath around him went colder and colder. "Violet, don''t go too far. Just for an Isaac, you''re so mad at me?" The man''s handsome face was sullen, and the air around him felt like it was going to freeze. Violetpressed her lips and calmed down a little. "I''m sorry. I''m not in a good mood and I spoke out of turn." Louis looked at her stubborn face and suppressed his inner displeasure. "Violet, just now I was telling youmon sense. If Isaac really marries Jasmine, ordinary people will think he marries above his station. Are you sure he really doesn''t want to take this opportunity to step into the upper ss ?" Hearing these words, Violet clenched her fist. "Isaac and I grew up together, and I''m pretty sure that he''s not greedy for wealth and riches." Isaac himself was an excellent person. He was down-to-earth and willing to work hard, not a man who was greedy for vanity. "Well, in that case, I can help him out. So he doesn''t have to marry Jasmine." Chapter 155 Chapter 155 Louis spoke in a deep voice, and Violet turned abruptly to him, hope shing in her eyes. "Mr. Johnson, are you really willing to help?" "You don''t believe me? Then forget it." Louis nced at her with cool eyes, turned around and left. "Wait a minute." "Mr. Johnson, you are a good man. Please help him!" Louis lowered his eyes, swept over the woman''s fair and slender fingers, and smiled. "I''m not a good person. In your eyes, I''m a snobbish, nasty and worldly person." Violet was speechless for a moment. Can he please not hold a grudge like that? "Mr. Johnson, how can those uneducated and snobbish men bepared to you? In my eyes, you have always been a wise and good man!" Violet licked his shoes. Louis snorted lightly, knowing that her words were not sincere anywhere, but his mood was better. "I got dirt on Jasmine. You can take this to negotiate with her. If she insists on forcing Isaac to marry her, then you can make her dirt public. I believe she''ll not dare do anything." Hearing these words, Violet''s eyes lit up. "Mr. Johnson, what''s Jasmine''s dirt?" "She had a crush on a junior in herst year of high school. She tried to force him to give in. After he refused, she had someone bruise his penis. I was the one who took care of it for her, so I have a backup of it." Louis spoke in a light voice. Violet''s eyes widened as she was speechless. "So Jasmine has been a bully since she was a child!" Louis raised his eyebrows, not denying it. "The injured is the younger brother of one of my ssmates. He wanted to sue Jasmine and filed a case at the police station. But only on my behalf did he stop. The police information waster erased by my father. But if you want, I can find it for you." Hearing this, Violet was busy nodding her head. "I want it! Mr. Johnson, thank you." With this information, she didn''t believe that she couldn''t dissuade Jasmine from marrying Isaac. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "But, I have one condition." Louis looked at Violet and said. "What condition?" "Violet, you have to promise to keep your distance from Isaac in the future and never marry him." He wasn''t that kind. Helping Isaac was just trying to negotiate a deal with her. He didn''t want to see his ex-wife take his money and live with her old me. Violet froze, then nodded, "Mr. Johnson, please rest assured that I will never marry Isaac because I have no intention of getting married." She only thought of Isaac as her brother, and in this life, she just wanted to live with her daughter! No intention to get married? Louis frowned and suddenly regretted the offer he had just made. He should have offered and let her marry himself again! Was it toote to reintroduce the condition? "Mr. Johnson, when can I have that information?" Violet was slightly relieved that things had not taken a turn for the worse. "What''s the hurry? The information is not in my hand now. You can continue your. I will give it to you when I return." Louis suppressed the upset in his heart, saw Violet who smiled, and added, "I''m hungry. Go have dinner with me." "Okay!" Violet readily agreed. "Do you want more crabs?" "No need." "That''s okay, if you want to eat, I can prepare an ambnce for you." Violet had no intention to reply At night. In a luxury suite. Jasmine dressed in a sexy silk nightgown. ss in her hand, she sat next to Marcus and clinked sses with him. Marcus took a sip of his wine. His hands stroked restlessly over her thighs, and smiled wickedly. "Jasmine, are happy to get what you want?" Chapter 156 Chapter 156 Happy? Jasmine swirled her ss and pursed her lips, "Not too bad!" It was exciting at the time. But looking at Isaac''s dead face afterwards, she felt defeated. Was he ufortable sleeping with her? What was he doing thinking about that bitch Violet? "Why do you look like that?" Marcus took her into his arms and smiled flirtatiously, "Does it your happy look?" Jasmine touched Marcus''s bare chest and said, "I''m just mad at Isaac for trying to trick him! But it makes me happy to see that bitch Violet was indignant." "Really? But you didn''t get much of an advantage. Look at you. You were pped by her in the face." Marcus said as he stroked her reddened face. Jasmine pulled his hand away, a sh of anger in her eyes. "That bitch Violet. She''s really arrogant. I''m going to make her feel sorry!" "Trying to fix her again? Do you need my help?" "You don''t need to help with such a trivial matter! I''ve made all the arrangements." She had set Isaac up, and Violet would definitely take it to heart, and would probably do something to get back at her in the finals of the modelingpetition. She had to make the first move! Jasmine blinked and smiled viciously. Night came. After Violet apanied Louis to dinner, she then went back to her room. Her phone rang. It was Evie''s calling. "Evie." "Violet, I saw the news Isaac and Jasmine are together and he has be Jasmine''s fiance! How can Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. this be?" Evie''s tone was full of anxiety. Violet pursed her lips and said, "Evie, Isaac should be in a very bad mood right now. You go find him for me. And tell him I won''t let Jasmine get away with it, so he doesn''t need to worry." "Oh, okay, I''ll get in touch with Isaac." Evie hung up the phone and called Isaac. But his phone was off. Evie frowned. Pondering, she grabbed her belongings, went out to hail a taxi on the side of the road. "Please go to the back mountain of western suburbs." "Little girl, what are you doing in the middle of the night in such a deste ce? "To find someone." Since they were little, Violet, Issac and she would run to the back mountain to watch the sunrise whenever one of them was in a bad mood. This was their secret base. She thought that Isaac must be there at this moment. At the top of the mountain in the western suburbs, Isaac was sitting on the ground, looking at the lights, and holding a can of beer. The man''s face was flushed in the night, and several empty cans had piled up beside him. Evie climbed up the mountain. She was panting and saw the man''s lonely back. "Isaac." Hearing the call, Isaac was slightly startled. He turned back to Evie, and his eyes shed with surprise. "Evie, why are you here?" "I called you, but you turned off your phone. I guessed you must be here, so I came to look for you." Evie wiped her sweat and took a deep breath to calm her heart. Isaac watched her face and her messy hair, and felt apologetic. "I''m sorry to let you worry about me." Evie shook her head, looked at the beer cans on the ground, and sat down beside him. "Isaac, don''t be upset. Violet asked me to tell you that she won''t let Jasmine get away with it." Chapter 157 Chapter 157 Hearing this, Isaac''s grip on his beer tightened slightly. Without saying a word, he kept drinking. "Isaac, let''s drink together." Evie didn''t ask anything, took a can of beer and opened it. Isaac looked at her andughed: "Time flies. Evie you''ve grown into a big girl too. I still remember the way you were bullied by Fatty and cried when you were little." With his words, Evieughed embarrassingly. "Yes, I was crying very loud. It was so messy. Later you found Fatty and beat him up hard. For that, Esther even grounded you for half a day." From then on, he became a hero in her heart. She kept following him and paid close attention to him in silence. It was just a pity that his eyes only lingered on her sister. Evie took a swig of the beer, and mncholy shed in her eyes. "Evie, slow down. Don''t get drunk." "It''s okay. You''re here with me." "And what if I get drunk too?" ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. "Then we''ll both get drunk tonight." ...... The three days of preliminary came to an end. The next two days were for the quarter-final. Instead ofpeting indoors, the models had to go out to the sea and shoot on an ind in the middle of the sea. As the makeup director, Violet had to follow the models and apply makeup at any time. The ind had a beautiful scenery, besides arge beach, there was also a dense primitive forest. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the scenery shot here was particrly beautiful. ording to the rules of thepetition, the models not only had to try out various looks but also had to show their talents in the two-day''s quarter-final. The makeup artist had to help the models put on different makeup ording to the style they tried. Thepetition was in full swing and the models were working hard on their looks in hopes of making it to the finals. Violet and Lucie were still divided into two groups to help the models in their own group. On the afternoon of the second day, it was overcast and gloomy. Dark clouds were passing by, and it was forecasting that a rainstorm wasing. Seeing the bad weather, the team leader urged everyone to hurry up and try to finish work earlier. "Helena, I''m going into the woods to shoot a set of promos. I''ll have to trouble you to follow hard." Jane Tate, wearing a soft green dress, greeted Violet. Violet froze and looked at the dense woods not far away. In the overcast sky, the woods glowed with a cold and ghostly light. "Miss Jane, the weather is not good. And the team is already pushing. Are you sure you want to go into the woods for the promo?" This ind was rarely visited. They hadn''t even go inside the woods before. What if they encountered something dangerous? Just imagining was scary enough. "I can''t help it. I''m so stressful! Jasmine pressures me. If I don''t get the championship, I won''t be given good resources in the future." Jane paused, "I''ve observed. Other models haven''t went into the woods. If I can take a set of forest photos, I can definitely overpower them in the print session." Hearing this, Violet didn''t say anything more. "Okay, I''ll go with you." "Thank you so much, Helena." "No problem. It''s my job." Violet looked down to get the makeup bag she was carrying and missed the sinister shing in Jane''s eyes. Once she had her makeup bag on her back, she followed Jane and a cameraman into the woods. Jane took several sets of photos in a row and kept going in. Violet looked behind her and frowned. At this time, behind them were all towering trees, and she could not see the way toe back long ago. Chapter 158 Chapter 158 "Oops, I forgot to get the props. Helena, can you go find the staff for me and ask him to get a green umbre?" Jane eximed and looked to Violet. Violet hesitated slightly, "Miss Jane, I think it''s going to rain soon. And you''ve just taken a lot of photos. So why don''t we go back?" The further they went in, the more she felt that this woods was damp and eerie, and she was on tenterhooks. "Helena, I''m a perfectionist. To get the overall championship, I have to show my best side today, no matter what. If you don''t want to help me, I''ll go back and get it myself." Jane had a determined look on her face. Violet was silent and nodded her head. "Then, you two wait here for a while. Don''t go further into the woods." She was not unwilling, but just afraid that they were in danger. Since Jane insisted on it, she, as a makeup artist, could onlypromise. "Okay, Helena, thank you so much. We won''t leave. We''ll wait for you here. Pleasee back as soon as possible." Jane smiled brightly and watched Violet''s distant back with a twinkle in her eyes. She tucked her hair around her ears and looked at the cameraman, "Are you tired, right? Let''s take a break and wait for Helena." "Okay." The cameraman nodded and leaned against a tree to check the photos and videos he had just taken. "Do you havepass?" Jane came over and asked in a delicate voice. "Yes." "That''s good." Jane smiled. She had taken them a long way around. Withoutpass, it was sure Violet could not get out of this woods. A few momentster, it suddenly rained. "Yeah, it rains. I''d better not shoot today. Let''s hurry out and meet up with them." Jane covered her head with her hands and took the opportunity to speak. "Okay. Maybe Helena doesn''t go far. We should be able to catch her up now. So she doesn''t have to turn back." The cameraman gathered his tools and took out hispass. Jane''s eyes shed, did not make a sound, followed thepass instructions to go forward. Ahead. Violet held her makeup bag above her head and ran forward at a fast pace. It was raining, and she had to get out quickly. But there were trees ahead of her, and she ran for a long time without seeing the end of the road. The rain wasing down harder and harder, soaking her clothes. Violet ran out of breath and leaned against a tree to rest for a moment. Her face was indistinguishable from rain or sweat. As she looked ahead, she got scared. Oh no! She was lost! What to do? ¡°Squeak!¡± A sound of movement startled Violet. She looked ahead and saw a squirrel-like creature hanging upside down from a tree. It was looking at her intently. Violet paled by that, swallowed and ran forward without thinking. As she ran, she shouted, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?" What a scary ce! She didn''t want to stay here! Outside. Jane and the cameraman had already came out of the woods. The rest of the group had long boarded the cruise ship and were waiting for them. "Jane, where have you been? Howe it''s just the two of you? Where''s Helena? She''s the only one left." ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. The person in charge was anxious and looked behind them, but didn''t see Violet. There was no signal on the small ind, so they couldn''t reach her. It made him perturbed. Chapter 159 Chapter 159 "We went into the woods for shooting. Hasn''t Helenae out yet? She left the woods before we did!" Jane was delighted, but pretended to be stunned. "She hasn''te out yet!" The man in charge looked at the sea and said urgently, "The weather forecast says it''s going to rain hard soon. So we have to get out of here right away." "What about Helena? She''s still in the woods. How about I go in and look for her?" Jane pretended to be anxious, and the person in charge hastened to pull her back. "Don''t go. Let''s wait. Maybe Helena wille out soon." "Well, that''s all right." Jane sped her arms, looked at the eerie woods not far away, and jeered. It wasn''t easy to get out of that wood all by herself. Jasmine had given J the order to bring Violet into the woods so that she wouldn''t be able to apply makeup to the models who made it to the finals in time for tomorrow! That was to make sure Jane''s title of champion intact. It looked like her mission for today was a sess. "Can''t we set sail? The rain is getting heavier. If we don''t, we''ll all have to stay on the ind tonight and not be able to leave." The captain came down from the ship and said to the person in charge. The person in charge looked at the time and then at the woods, in a desperate state of impatience. "What''s going on with Helena? Why isn''t she out yet?" "You''re still waiting for her? We''ll wait another five minutes, and if she hasn''t arrived, we''ll have to leave her alone." The captain looked at the time and spoke. Being apprehensive, the person in charge had waited for another five minutes, but still didn''t see Violet "We can''t wait any longer. We have to leave immediately." The captain opened his mouth again, and then took a big step toward the ship. "Hey, captain! Can''t we wait any longer!?" Jane snickered in her heart, but looked worried. "We can''t." The captain returned and got on the ship. Jane looked at the person in charge, "What can we do? The captain insists on sailing, so are we going to wait for Helena or not? If we continue, we won''t be able to leave tonight." "We have the finals tomorrow, so we all have to go back and make our final preparations today." Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Hearing this, the person in charge gritted his teeth, "No more waiting. Let''s go." The whole team can''t ruin their work just because of one person. Helena can only fend herself. The ship slowly set sail, braving the storm and sailing away from the ind. Later, they backed to the resort. Getting off the ship, all went to their rooms. David, as a special guest, did not need to follow the team all day. After he finished a shooting and returned to the manor, he did not see Violet. "Where is Helena?" David asked the person in charge. The person in charge wiped his face and said somewhat with a guilty conscience, "She''s still on the ind. I don''t know if she''s out of that woods now." "What!?" David was shocked and grabbed thepel of the person in charge, "What the hell is going on ? Why didn''t shee back with you guys?" "She went into the woods to follow the makeup of ..." The person in charge hurriedly told him the general story. David was furious, and after pushing him away forcefully, he headed out. "David, where are you going?" The assistant asked in a hurry. "I''m going to the ind to find Helena." "No way! It''s raining heavily outside. And boats aren''t running!" The assistant hastily pulled David back. "Let go!" "David, I can''t let you take any chances. Even if you kill me today, I can''t let go." The assistant held David tightly, not letting him go. David was both anxious and angry, and after a long time, he took a deep breath, "Let go! let me call Louis." He couldn''t go to find Helena, but Louis would definitely do! Chapter 160 Chapter 160 The Johnson Group. Louis had just finished a video conference when he received a call from David. When he heard that Violet was trapped on the ind, his pupils dted. Hanging up the phone, he immediately called Harry in. "Harry, help me prepare a yacht. I want to go to sea." Harry froze and looked at the torrential rain outside, "Mr. Johnson, what''s wrong? It''s raining heavily outside. And the sea wind is stronger. It will be dangerous to sail now." "Violet is in trouble. I have to go to the ind to find her." Louis walked out without a word. "Mr. Johnson, this is too dangerous. How about I go find Miss Violet with someone else?" Harry was worried about him. "It won''t dangerous if you go? Hurry up and prepare a yacht for me." Louis'' order was concise with majesty. Harry had no choice but to have the yacht prepared. In the woods. Violet stumbled and ran for a long time, but never managed to run out of this dense woods. Her clothes has been soaked, and finally, she found a small cavern. Inside the cavern was dry, and there was some dry firewood and a lighter in the corner. She thought it should be left by people who came in to explore. Violet shivered and hurriedly built a fire. Soon, the me illuminated her face. Violet took off her wet coat and dry it by the fire. She got herself as close to the fire as possible to warm herself. Listening to the rain outside, she was still a little stunned. She wondered how the others on the ind were doing, and whether they had returned safely to the resort. They should have found themselves missing, right? Would someonee looking for her? But even if they came looking for her, they would have to wait until the rainstorm stopped. So, probably she would spend the night here tonight. Violet sighed and rubbed her cold hands together as her stomach ached. The sea. The wind was blowing and the waves were huge. Louis wore a life jacket and drove the yacht forward. Closer! He was close to the ind! Louis elerated. At that moment, a huge wave hit and lifted the yacht high up again. Louis'' pupils dted and he jumped into the sea as the yacht was tipped over ... Inside the cavern, Violet put her drying clothes on and huddled in the corner. Pulling out her cell phone, she tried to call Josie, but couldn''t reach at all. With a sigh in her heart, she resignedly put away her phone and looked at the fire in front of her in a daze. At this time, there was a faint sound of rustling outside. Violet froze, and got nervous instantly. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. She was in the woods. The noise outside was not caused by some kind of beast, right? Violet hurriedly took out a pair of shears from her makeup bag for self-defense. ¡°I don''t fear!¡± said Violet in her heart. Beasts were afraid of fire! If they saw a fire, they won''te in! Violet swallowed and keptforting herself. "Violet, where are you?" Faintly, she heard someone calling her! Violet''s eyes lit up and she stood up. Was she hallucinating? Why did she seem to hear Louis'' voice? There was another sibnt sound, and the man''s voice sounded again. "Violet, do you hear me? If you do, answer me!" The man''s voice was so loud and clear that it sounded like heavenly music to her ears. Violet was surprised and ran quickly towards the entrance. "Mr. Johnson, I''m here!" She was not dreaming! It was really Louis'' voice! Louis hade for her! Happy, excited, safe ... A myriad of emotions intertwined and filled her heart. Chapter 161 Chapter 161 Violet almost cried with joy as she looked at the tall man who bowed his head into the cave. "Mr. Johnson, it''s really you!" Louis'' clothes were all drenched. His hair was also wet and stuck on his scalp. He looked Violet up and down, and was relieved to see her intact. "Violet, are you okay?" "I''m good." Violet suppressed her joy, "Your clothes are wet. Go inside and warm yourself." Louis came in, took off his jacket and put it aside to dry. Violet turned her head in a hurry, embarrassed to see him take off his clothes. On the cavern wall, the firelight shone out the man''s silhouette. His swaying shadow made her have a sense of security. Violet beamed, and slowly calmed down. "Mr. Johnson, isn''t it raining outside? How did you get here?" "It was David who called me and said you were stuck on the ind." Louis moved closer to the fire and looked at the woman whose back was turned to her. He had found her, and could finally feel relieved. She was smart enough to find a cavern to take shelter from the rain. Unexpectedly, she was not as weak as he thought. So it was David who told Louis! Violet felt profound gratitude for David. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "Mr. Johnson, really thank you foring to me." Louis watched her slim back, and looked pleased. "Are you sure you want to keep talking with your back to me?" She was shy? But he was still wearing a tank top, okay? Not to mention, it wasn''t like she hadn''t seen him bare-chested before. Violet froze, looked at the shadow on the wall, and slowly turned around. Indeed, it wasn''t polite for her to keep talking with her back to someone. "So, Mr. Johnson, you''re the only one here?" Louis was a president, and he shouldn''t be traveling alone! As long as his people arrived, then they would be able to get out of this woods right away. She was so hungry and wanted to replenish her energy quickly! Violet''s eyes drifted away, and she unconsciously swallowed her saliva. Louis raised his eyebrows to look at his strong body and grinned. "Violet, here are just the two of us. If you want to have a sex with me because you are moved, I do not mind." Violet was at loos in words by what he just said. Still, he was so imaginative! Violet''s pretty face heated up and red at Louis. "Mr. Johnson, are you stupid? I mean, since you came to see me, at least bring something to eat over here, I ..." Suddenly , Violet cked out, stumbled and almost fell. She hurriedly held onto the wall, closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. The smile on Louis''s face faded, and he quickly got up to help her. "What''s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Violet swallowed hard and slowly opened her eyes. "Nothing. Probably I''m too hungry and it causes low blood sugar." She had been too busy today and haven''t eaten much. Besides, she just ran around in the woods, and now she was really tired and hungry to the extreme. "Violet, you can really eat a lot." Louis was deliberately sarcastic, and helped her to sit by the fire. Originally, there was food in his yacht, but when he reached the shore, the yacht was capsized by a huge wave. The food also fell into the sea. He was in a hurry to get into the woods to look for her, and he couldn''t care less about those extraneous things. "Where are you going?" Violet swallowed, saw Louis put on half-dry clothes, and asked. "To find you some food. Otherwise, I''m afraid that until tomorrow, there will be an additional corpse around." Every time he spoke, he was so mean. But she felt warm at the moment. "Wait for me, I''ll go too." Chapter 162 Chapter 162 Louis stopped in tracks, "What? Are you scared to stay here alone?" "No, we¡¯re in a woods. In case you encounter wild animals or something, you have a helper." Violet shook her head and smiled ingratiatingly. Louis looked at her, snickered, and took a big step forward. "Just don''t make a mess for me." "No, Mr. Johnson, at least I''m capable of a few things." Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. "Is that so? Then don''t get hungry and faint again." The two came to the entrance of the cavern. The rain became lighter. Violet thought about it, took off her coat and draped it over her head. "Mr. Johnson, let''s use it together." She was her coat as an umbre? Louis'' eyes moved slightly as he helped her put her coat back on and took off his own. "Youe here." Violet pursed her lips and walked under Louis'' clothes. She then turned on the light in her cell phone to illuminate the road ahead. Light rain drifted in the air, like thin threads in the dim light. The man exhaled lightly and opened his arms to hold her gently at his side. In the silence of the night, he was like a warm harbor, making her feel more at ease. Violet curled her lips and followed him forward. "There are wild fruits here." Not knowing how long they had been walking, Louis stopped in his tracks. Violet froze and saw Louis throw his jacket to her, then stepped on dead branches on the ground and plucked two fruits from a tree. Except for wild fruits, they should not be able to find anything else to eat in the woods. However, was this kind of fruit really edible? Violet swallowed and said with some hesitation, "What is this? Can I eat?" "This should be red delicious. It¡¯s edible." Louis looked at Violet who was skeptical, rubbed the skin of the fruit, and took a bite. Violet looked at him, "How does it taste?" "Not bad." Louis raised an eyebrow and handed her the other, "Try it." "Oh." Louis, the president usually had delicacies of every kind, so if he said it was good, it shouldn''t be that bad. Violet didn''t doubt it, so she took the fruit and took a bite as well. The astringent taste in her mouth made her stop chewing and she spit it out directly. "Yuck yuck! What the hell!?Mr. Johnson, is something wrong with your pte?" Louis swallowed the fruit and looked at her with a smirk. Violet realized afterwards that she was fooled by him. "Mr. Johnson, you lied to me?" "It¡¯s not a lie. In order not to let you die of hunger, I tried it first for you. And you¡¯re still not content!" He was not only mean, but had a lot of false reasoning! Violet looked at him helplessly. At night, he looked tall and magnificent, but with a sense of mystery, which made her unconsciously attracted to him. She looked at him and her heart was pounding. Louis also looked at her. The woman''s beautiful face was delicate, and her eyes were even brighter in the night. Then, his eyes fell on her rosy lips, and his Adam¡¯s apple rolled slightly. He reached out his hands and took her shoulders. The dark night bred tender feelings and sensuality. At this moment, he only wanted to taste her fragrance ... But, sharp-eyed, he suddenly noticed something. "Watch out!" Louis turned around violently with Violet in his arms. A pain on his arm made his eyebrows instantly knitted. There was a snake! Violet was stunned, being held in the man''s arms,pletely unaware of what was happening. "Mr. Johnson, what''s wrong?" "Nothing, let''s get out of here." Chapter 163 Chapter 163 Louis'' eyes were deep. He took out his cell phone and turned on the lighting function as well. With a wary face, he took Violet and walked back. Violet sensed the tightness of Louis'' muscles and didn''t ask more questions, but went back to the cavern with him. "Mr. Johnson, what the hell just happened?" Violet hitched Louis'' jacket beside the fire, and then hurriedly asked. Louis didn¡¯t look good. He moved his lips, and suddenly cked out and fell to the ground. "Mr. Johnson!" Violet was shocked and ran over to help him, "Mr. Johnson, what happened to you?" Louis'' lips were purple. He looked at his arm and said with difficulty, "Do you have a knife? I was bitten by a snake. It¡¯s probably poisonous." What!? Violet''s heart jumped abruptly. Looking at Louis'' arm, she was extremely panic. "Mr. Johnson, you''ll be fine. Knife ... I should have an eyebrow knife in my makeup bag. I''ll go get it right away." Louis had just been bitten by a snake! It was because of her! He had to be fine! What else should she do? Violet quickly grabbed her makeup bag and took out the eyebrow knife. "Mr. Johnson, the knife is here." Louis'' lips turned even more purple. He tried to take the knife, but his hand shook and the knife fell to the ground. Violet swallowed and looked at Louis who was about to pass out. Gritting her teeth, she picked up the knife and roasted it with fire. She understood that Louis was trying to use the knife to let the poisoned blood out. She had to bleed him! "Mr. Johnson, hold on. It''s almost done." Louis was absent-minded. When he felt a sudden pain in his arm, he sobered up a bit. He slowly turned his head to look at the woman who was bleeding her, trying to say something. The snake was poisonous, so his blood was now poisonous too. She should be careful! However, before he could say anything, Violet had already leaned down ... Louis'' pupils dted and yelled, "Violet, what are you doing?" "Mr. Johnson, there¡¯s still poisoned blood in your body. I''m going to help you clean it all out." Violet spit out a mouthful of poisonous blood and continued to bend down. "Violet, you''re crazy! My blood is poisonous!" Louis tried to struggle, but was held down by Violet. "Mr. Johnson, I don''t want anything to happen to you." Violet finished and continued to suck the poisoned blood. Louis'' mind was absent again, and he struggled to stay awake, watching Violet spit out his blood again and again with a weak smile. "Violet, do you want to die with me?" Seeing that his blood had turned red, she wiped the corner of her mouth and let out a long breath. Her eyes fell on the man''s handsome face, and she couldn''t help but say, "Mr. Johnson, you are so nice to me. Do you like me?" All along, he was like a light, always shining when she was in trouble. Did he like her? Louis just felt his ears buzzing. He looked at Violet and curled his lips into a smile. "Violet, you are self-absorbed again. I''m nice to you because grandma likes you and Luka likes you. And I ..." Louis paused. Not finished his words, his thought was scattered. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. He did like her, right? But his self-esteem made him not want to admit his feelings so quickly! "Mr. Johnson, don''t sleep. Wake up!" Violet looked at the fainting Louis, feeling anxious as well as a bit of disappointment. Sure enough, she was still self-absorbed! He was so nice to her, but it was only because of his family! It was also true that he now had Grace, and she should no longer have any feelings for him. "Mr. Johnson, Miss Violet, where are you?" A man''s voice rang out faintly outside. Violet was struggling to move Louis closer to the fire. As she heard the sound, her eyes lit up. Someone wasing for them! Chapter 164 Chapter 164 Violet had a dream. In the dream, a giant anaconda was chasing her with its bloody mouth wide open. She tried desperately to escape, but her feet were too heavy to move. The anaconda behind her lunged at her ... "No!" Violet eximed and opened her eyes abruptly. What she saw was an unfamiliar ceiling. The smell of disinfectant fluid, which was unique to hospitals, was still wafting at the end of her nose. This was a hospital! "Miss Violet, you''re awake?" A nurse saw that Violet was awake and hurriedly came over. Violet nced at her and sat up from the bed. She remembered that Harry came with someone after Louis passed out. Later ... "What''s happening to me?" She remembered talking to Harry before she cked out too. "Miss Violet, you are also poisoned. But it''s good that it¡¯s not severe. The doctor said you''ll be fine when you wake up." the nurse returned. She had been poisoned too! It was probably because she helped Louis suck the poisoned blood out. Violet got out of bed and asked, "What about Mr. Johnson?" "Mr. Johnson is right next door." "Thanks." Violet went out of the ward and walked quickly to the next door. In the ward, Harry was at Louis'' bedside. Seeing Violete in, he got up to greet her. "Miss Violet, you''re awake." "Well, how is he? Is he okay?" Violet asked in a hurry. "Miss Violet, fortunately you helped Mr. Johnson suck out the toxins from his body in time. He¡¯s fine now. But his body is still very weak, so he still needs to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation." Harry spoke respectfully and Violet breathed a sigh of relief. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Her eyes fell on Louis'' face. Looking at his pale face, her expression softened. They were lucky enough. "Miss Violet, you''re hungry, right? I''ll go get you some breakfast over here." Harry looked at his watch and spoke. Violet looked back and asked, "Harry, what time is it?" "It''s 5:30 in the morning." It was already the next day! She had work to do! Violet looked at Harry, "Harry, can you please have someone send me back to Scarlett Resort immediately?" Today was the finals of the modeling contest, and she had to help a few of the seeds with their makeup! "Okay, I''ll arrange it right away." ...... Resort. A secluded corner. Jessie looked at the time, "The finals is about to start. Violet hasn''te yet?" Jasmine smiled smugly, "She''s still trapped in the woods. Maybe she''s been bitten to death by a fierce beast! Jessie, I''m counting on you for the title of champion." Hearing what she said, Jessie smirked, "Jasmine, you''re better than me. You dared fix her with that. Unlike me, I only dared to let her have a diarrhea." "Oops, I''m still afraid that she will retaliate against me. You know, I slept with her lover that day." "Jasmine, why are you so bold by nature?" "Oh, carpe diem is not only for men." The twoughed out loud, and then left at the staff''s request. In the corner, Violet, who had just gone to her room to get changed, slowly walked out. So that was what it was! Jessie and Jasmine had colluded long ago. The diarrhea, as well as being trapped in the woodsst night, were the work of the two. Chapter 165 Chapter 165 It was true that people with nasty thoughts see everything nasty. Since Jasmine thought she would get back at her for what happened to Isaac, it would fail Jasmine if she didn''t follow through. Violet sniggered, gripped the makeup bag and went into the bathroom. In the dressing room. Jasmine looked at the time and purposely called out, "What''s wrong with Helena? The contest is about to start, and she¡¯s note yet? Then what about these models? And their make-up?" Hearing this, the person in charge also had an anxious look on his face. He looked at Lucie, "Lucie, Helena is probably still trapped on the ind. I''ll have someone go find her Lucie looked at the door, still didn''t see Violet''s figure, so she nodded, "Okay." "Lucie, I¡¯m looking forward to it! Please put on the most suitable makeup for Jane!" Jasmine was iparably relieved and her smile was unusually bright. Lucie gave a slight nod and prepared to work. At that moment, footsteps sounded at the door. "Wait a minute." Violet walked in from outside, carrying her makeup bag. She was wearing a white professional suit, and its slim cut outlined her waist. Her pretty face was with exquisite make-up, and her straight ck hair was draped over her shoulders. She walked in leisurely, bringing in fragrant breeze. Enchanting and domineering. "Violet, you''re back!" Jasmine''s eyes widened with a stunned look. Violet put her make-up bag on the table and smiled coldly. "Miss Jasmine, why are you so surprised seeing me? Did you do something wrong?" "I ..." Jasmine blushed and red at Violet. Bitch! How did she show up!? How did beasts on the ind not bite her to death!? "Helena, are you okay?" Lucie asked with concern as she looked Violet up and down. "I''m fine. Thanks for your concern." Violet smiled, then looked at the person in charge, "Please let all the irrelevant people out of the dressing room. We''re going to start working." "Okay. Everyone please leave immediately." The person in charge was greatly relieved to see Violet back intact, and hurriedly asked the idle people to leave the dressing room. "I demand other person to apply makeup to Jane." All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Jasmine scowled at Violet, clearly feeling her coldness. This woman would definitely get back at her! She wanted to change the makeup artist! "This ..." "OK. But Miss Jasmine, wait until you be a superior of this section before you give orders to me." Without waiting for the person in charge to speak, Violet returned in a light voice. "Sorry, Miss Jasmine. You''d better go out." The person in charge smiled sarcastically and gestured for Jasmine to go out. Jasmine''s face changed for a moment, and was forcibly pulled out of the dressing room by the person in charge. "Okay, let''s get started." Violetid out the makeup tools one by one and said to Lucie. "Okay." Lucie responded, feeling that Violet was extraordinarily dominant today. Jane Tate in the crowd looked at Violet and her heart was racing. She went to Violet''s side and said cautiously, "Helena, are you okay? I''m sorry. Yesterday I was too capricious and had to go into the woods. So you couldn''t go back to the resort with us." Violet nced at her and made a usible smile. "I won¡¯t me you. Miss Jane, you¡¯re just too dedicated, aren¡¯t you?" Violet¡¯s words sounded somonce, but to Jane''s ears they were unbearably harsh. Why did she feel as if Violet knew something? "Miss Jane, please sit down for a moment. After I finish putting on the makeup for these two, I''ll help you." Violet spoke in a light voice, and her cool and beautiful face showed no emotion. Jane swallowed, uneasily walked aside to sit down. Chapter 166 Chapter 166 Jane looked at the time and was a little anxious as she watched Violet skillfully and carefully apply the makeup on the other two models. The finals was about to begin, but she hadn''t put on her makeup yet. Usually, Violet was quick doing make-up. But today, it was as if she was stalling on purpose. Why was she so slow? "Helena, are you ready?" Jane couldn''t help but ask when she saw that Violet was still helping the model to change her makeup. Violet finished thest step, looked at the model''s face in front of her, and nodded in satisfaction. Her eyes swept towards Jane who looked tense, and smiled, "Miss Jane, don''t be anxious. I know how to do my job well in my mind." Anxious? Soon she will be more anxious! ...... Hospital. Louis woke up. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Slowly, he opened his eyes and memories came to his mind. He was not dead? And how was Violet? "Mr. Johnson, you''re finally awake!" Harry came in from the outside and was surprised to see Louis awake. Louis struggled to get up and asked, "Where''s Violet? Is she okay?" That silly woman actually took poisonous blood for him! He hoped she was okay! "Miss Violet is fine. She asked me to let someone drive her to the resort this morning." Harry answered in a hurry. He didn¡¯t know Violet was a workaholic. Louis looked at his bandaged arm, "I was poisoned for her, and she didn''t stay to take care of me for a while?" Harry didn¡¯t what to say. From Louis'' words, why did Harry sense his arrogance that he begged for praise because of saving Violet? Well, it seemed that Louis and his ex-wife were expected to get back together! "Harry, help me find a file." Louis thought of something and asked Harry to find out Jasmine''s previous scandals for him. Harry was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Mr. Johnson, this is ..." "To help someone." He promised to help her and couldn''t go back on his word. Looking at him, Harry was thinking when Louis became so fond of helping others. ... Scarlet Resort. On arge stage, all the models had finished the process. At this moment, the host came on the stage for thest session. Beside her stood Jane and two other models. Today''s first runner-up and second runner-up were going to be announced among the three of them. "Everyone, the exciting moment is almost here. Next is thest part of the show. The personal charm show!" The host said a bunch of inspiring words, rendering the atmosphere of the scene exciting and tense. Thest part of thepetition was a personal show. The host will randomly select a question for the contestant to borate ording to the arrangement. Judges and public judges would give their scores and finally decide the first and second runners-up. "Miss Jane, from the beginning of thepetition until now, your ranking has been steady at the top of the list. Today is thest round, but you don''t look too happy. Are you not satisfied with your performance?" The host came to Jane and looked at her and asked. Jane faintly froze and said modestly, "It''s okay. But everyone works so hard tonight. I do feel a bit stressed." Did she look unhappy? No! "So you''re not as confident as you were in the first few rounds. It¡¯s because of the pressure, isn¡¯t it?" The host asked with sharp words. Jane was stunned again, smiled but didn''t say anything, not offending the host. "Then Ms. Jane, can sum up your performance in one sentence?" Chapter 167 Chapter 167 The host took a question and got to the point. "Okay ..." Below the stage, the judges and the audience were whispering to each other. "What''s up with this Jane? She was in the first few rounds. Why does she have a bitter face?" "I''ve always been optimistic about her. But looking at her performance today, I don''t think she''s qualified to be the winner." "As a model, the most basic requirement is to be calm. On stage, even if something happens, they have to look like they¡¯re calm and collected. But what''s wrong with her crying face all the time?" "Jane''s mental quality is not up to par. Pass out." Back of the stage. Jasmine stared at Jane on a big screen with a look of hatred. What was wrong with Jane? It looked like she was going to cry. Didn''t she tell her not to be nervous? Why not be more confident? In the dressing room, Violet was holding a cup of water, sipping slowly and admiring her masterpiece. Jane''sst costume show was a crowned queen''s outfit.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Such a costume required a mboyant and cold makeup. However, Jane''s makeup at this moment, from a different angle, was restrained, uneasy and pitiful ... It did not match queen''s temperament at all. She didn''t believe that Jane could still win the championship with such make-up! On the stage, the host had finished asking the other models. "Okay, after so many days of intensepetition, the most exciting moment hase. Let''s guess who is the champion of Sunlite Model Contest!" The host''s voice was powerful, and the light beam on the stage swept over several models from time to time. The atmosphere was tense and heated. Jane clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and waited for the beam to stop on her body. The music came to a screeching halt. A beam of light shone on a model. "Congrattions to contestant number 28 ..." The host''s booming voice rang out, announcing the final result of the contest. Jane heard the name that didn''t belong to her and turned her head to look at the girl beside her. Why? How came the winner was not her? It was obvious that she had always performed very well. So, why was the winner not her!? In the dressing room. Violet took a sip of water and sniggered. Jane only won the third ce. This title was way much different from the winner. She could imagine Jasmine''s furious face at this moment. Waiting room. Jasmine looked at Jane who came back with a trophy and cursed: "Jane Tate, why do you keep crying all the time in the game? Are you very nervous? Aren''t you usually quite confident? I''ve supported you for nothing!" Jasmine scolded her and Jane''s eyes turned red with grievance. "Miss Jasmine, I''m not crying all the time. I''m doing the same as usual today! No, it should be more vigorous than usual." "Are you feeling wronged?" Jasmine took out her phone and threw it at her, "Look at it yourself. You did work hard. You worked hard to show your misery!" Jane hurriedly took the phone and clicked on the video of herself walking on the stage. Zooming in, she could watch she did look like she was crying in every footage on the video! But she was clearly smiling! Why would that be!? "Miss Jasmine, I don''t know how this happened. I was obviously smiling all the time. I don''t know why I presented to the public with this expression." Jane was red-eyed and on the verge of tears. Jasmine gasped, "You don''t know? I think you are scared by the sudden appearance of Violet, right? She ..." Somehow, Jasmine thought of something and her voice stopped abruptly. At that moment, Jessie walked in. She frowned and looked at the two of them, "Jasmine, I''ve tried my best. My vote is definitely for Jane, but Jane''s performance tonight is really not as good as it should be. Look at this makeup. Is she going to mourn for someone?" Mourning makeup! Yes, it was not Jane¡¯s problem. It was the makeup on her face that caused the problem! And the person who put on her makeup was Violet! Chapter 168 Chapter 168 In the dressing room, Violet finished packing her makeup tools and was ready to leave. Walking to the door, she ran into Jasmine who rushed over to her. "Violet, you did this, didn''t you?" She came to deal with her? Violet raised an eyebrow, "Miss Jasmine, I don''t understand what you''re saying." "You''re still pretending!" Jasmine pulled Jane over, "Jane didn''t get the championship today because of the crappy makeup you put on her! Hearing this, Violet looked like she had heard a big joke. "Miss Jasmine, as we all know, this is a modelingpetition. And thepetition is about the qualifications of models. Jane Tate didn''t get the championship, which means she is not qualified enough! You didn''t me her but me? Miss Jasmine, don''t be such a sore loser!" Her words were to deliberately provoke their conflict and insinuate Jasmine. There were many makeup artists and crew gathering around, all judging Jasmine. Jasmine was so angry that she raised her hand to p Violet''s face. "Bitch, you dare nder me!" Violet grabbed her hand quickly and whispered to her ear, in a voice that only they could hear. "Yes, I did it. Jasmine, it''s not polite not to reciprocate. It doesn''t make sense you''ve set me up and I can only take it, right?" "You!" Jasmine''s face changed and she realized that Violet probably knew that it had something to do with her in the ident which Violet was trapped in the ind. At that moment, David and his assistant walked over. "What are you doing?" Violet pushed Jasmine away and smiled lightly towards David. "David." David nced coldly at Jasmine who was abashed, and then looked at Violet. "Are you all right?" "Yes." "David, thank you for yesterday, too." If David hadn''t called Louis, maybe she would still be trapped in that woods today. "I just made a phone call, but the credit goes to Louis." David waved his hand, "I just talked to Louis on the phone. He''s fine. But I really admire you for sucking out the venom for Louis after he was bitten by a poisonous snake!" Violet was a little embarrassed, "He was bitten by a snake because of me. I didn''t want anything to happen to him." "Then you two have a shared destiny now! That''s a deeper bond than others!" David joked meaningfully. "David, are you leaving? Take your time!" "Let''s go together!" "Okay." ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Watching them leave with a smile on their faces, it dawned on Jasmine. It turned out that the reason Violet was able to leave the ind so quickly was Louis who had run off to find her! "Jasmine, did you hear that? Looks like they¡¯re getting back together soon!" Jessie walked past Jasmine and said deliberately. Jasmine''s fingernails were about to pinch into her flesh. "Violet wants to marry into the Johnson family again? What about Grace? This impostor. How came Louis hadn''t married her yet? Jasmine, with a grim face, took out her cell phone and dialed a number. ...... Violet came out of the resort and separated from David. After thinking about it, she took a car to the hospital. When she left in the morning, Louis wasn¡¯t awake. She had to thank him in person. When she arrived at the door of the ward, she was about to push the door in but heard a woman''s cry "Louis, it''s good that you''re okay. If something happened to you, what would Luka and I do?" It was Grace''s voice. Violet looked in through the window and saw Grace sitting on the edge of the bed, hugging Louis and crying. Louis reached out and patted her back, "Don''t cry. I''m fine." Violet pursed her lips and slowly turned around to leave. At this time, she should not go in and disturb them. Her chest was a little tight. Violet let out a deep breath and walked in the direction of the elevator. In the ward, Louis'' eyebrows knitted slightly and pushed Grace away. Chapter 169 Chapter 169 "I''m fine. Didn''t I tell you not toe?" He didn''t know where Grace got the news that he was in hospital and called him. And he didn''t want more people to know that. "I''m worried about you. Since I already knew you¡¯re in hospital, how can I note to see you?" Grace wiped her tears and said with pity. "Where''s Luka? Did you send him back to the manor?" "Well, I didn''t tell him you¡¯re in hospital. I fear he¡¯ll worry." "Grandma doesn''t know about it, right?" "I didn''t say anything to her." After asking all the questions, Louis took his phone to look at the time. Grace who shouldn''t be here was here, but Violet who should be here dis not show up yet as expected. The contest should be over. She was saved by him and shoulde to visit him. "Louis, are you hungry? Let me go get you something to eat?" Grace asked when she noticed Louis was distracted. Was he waiting for Violet? Jasmine had called her and said if she didn''t work hard, Louis would get back together with Violet. She really didn''t expect that Louis would brave the rain to go to the ind for Violetst night and get bitten by a poisonous snake! It seemed that Louis was still in love with Violet! "Don''t bother. Harry will arrange these things." Louis took theputer aside, "You can leave. Don''t worry about me." Was this a way to kick her out? Grace bit her lip: "Louis, let me stay and take care of you tonight." "No, Harry''s here." "But ..." "Go back." Louis'' eyebrows twisted, and his voice was clearly with impatience. Grace opened her mouth and felt a little bit annoyed. This man had always been neither hostile nor friendly to her. How can she get him to marry her? "Louis, then I''ll leave first. If you need something, just let me know." "Hmm." Louis didn''t raise his eyes and replied perfunctorily. Grace gave him a helpless look and could only leave. At that moment, Harry happened to push the door in, carrying food in his hand. "Hello, Miss Grace." Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Grace smiled faintly at him, "Harry, thank you for taking care of him." "No problems." Harry made a polite remark. Grace looked at Louis again and left the ward. Louis raised his eyes and nced towards the door,pressing his lips. Harry keenly sensed that Louis was not in a good mood. He put the food down in order, "Mr. Johnson, please." "Harry, is the modelingpetition over?" Hearing Louis'' question, Harry returned, "Yes, it''s over." "Is the winner from Century Entertainment?" "No, only one model, Jane Tate. She won the third ce." Louis'' movement to get out of bed paused, and his eyes shed with surprise. "I remember Jane Tate is always in the first ce in everypetition. Did she lose in thest round?" "Not sure exactly. But I got word that Miss Jasmine got into a fight with Miss Violet after the game. Saying that there was something wrong with the makeup Miss Violet put on Jane Tate." Hearing this, Louis was thoughtful. Violet had done something to the model''s makeup? Why? Because of Isaac? But he had promised to help her, hadn''t he? She didn''t have to do that. Or did Jasmine have something to do with her being stranded on the indst night? And why hadn''t shee to see him by now!? Chapter 170 Chapter 170 RW Styling Studio. "Mommy, I missed you so much." Erin hugged Violet and pampered after not seeing her for a week. Violet felt so warm, kissed Erin in her cheeks and yed with her for a while, making the little one giggle. "Thank goodness you made it back safely and didn''t get screwed by two vicious women." Josie came over and tucked her wavy hairs around her ears. She already knew what had happened to Violet. She didn''t expect Jessie and Jasmine to be so despicable and shameless. "Yeah, well. It''s a good thing I''m alive." Violet put Erin down and gestured for her to go y by herself. "Jasmine is so shameless! Drugging Isaac, and leaving you on an ind. It''s too easy for her when you just destroyed a model¡¯s make-up in the contest." Josie sat down beside Violet with an indignant look on her face. Violet pursed her lips, thinking about the fact that Isaac''s problem was still unresolved. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "Violet, you said you won''t let Jasmine get away with it, right? I want to beat Jasmine up so bad." Evie came up from downstairs, and puffed out. Violet curled her lips and nodded. She would fix this, because Louis had promised to help her. The scene she had just seen in the hospital shed through her mind. Hastily, she had to stop herself from thinking about it too much. "Evie, Isaac¡¯s not in a good mood these day. You take time to care more about him." Evie nodded heavily. "Violet, I will." Violet took her hand, "Evie, I know you likes Isaac. He''s really a good man. Take the initiative in the future and don''t let other women covet him anymore." Hearing these words, Evie''s little face heated up. She looked at Violet''s clear and bright eyes and bit her lower lip, "But Violet, Isaac likes someone else ..." "Evie, believe me. You and Isaac are the mostpatible pair. Go for it!" Violet interrupted Evie''s words and spoke. "Violet, stop it. I''m not marrying anyone." "Silly!" Hearing their conversation, Josie raised an eyebrow from the side. Jasmine had set up Violet, and in the end Violet had sort of fought back. But Jessie, that bitchy woman, hadn''t been punished yet. No, she had to fight back for her best friend. And she had been upset with Jessie for a long time! "Violet, are you still going to work with the crew?" asked Josie. "Tomorrow''s thest day. We''ll wrap up this afternoon." "Oh, I''ll drive you there tomorrow and pick you up in the afternoon." Josie''s pretty eyes rolled and an idea came to her mind. Violet blinked with an inquisitive look, "Josie, why are you suddenlying to pick me up?" "I just want to." "Okay, okay! Josie, I love you so much!" "Jesus, that''s so sweet." "Mommy, do you love Erin?" "Yes! Most of all, I love my little baby!" Violet picked up the little one who was jumping at her and smiled as she headed back upstairs to her apartment. After thinking about it, she took out her phone and sent a message to Louis. "Mr. Johnson, the modeling contest is over. I''m home safe and sound, and I''d like to say thank you again forst night." She had to ask Louis for Jasmine''s scandal! First, she had to thank him for saving her lifest night. "Is that how you thank your life-saver? I don''t even deserve a visitation?" The phone beeped and Louis returned the message. Violet stared at the line and let out a giggle. Without having to meet, she could imagine Louis who was raising his eyebrows and looking displeased. It was inexplicably affectionate. It seemed that the encounterst night had brought each other closer. Chapter 171 Chapter 171 But ... Violet thought of Grace and the smile on her face faded slightly. "Sorry Mr. Johnson, it''s toote today. I''lle tomorrow to visit you and take Jasmine''s scandals." He didn''t like her, and she needed to get a grip on herself! "So, the real purpose of visiting me is to get Jasmine''s scandals?" Louis sent another message. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Violet blinked and her long, slender fingers typed down a message. "Mr. Johnson, let me correct you. You''re saying it in a reverse order." She had a favor to ask of him, so she had to kiss his ass anyways. "Is that so? Since you''re visiting me tomorrow, cook soup for me ande over." Hmm? He wanted her to cook soup for him? No one had made soup for him? Violet''s eyes flickered, but she dared criticize in her heart. Then she quickly replied, "Got it." The other end of the phone, Louis watched their conversation and looked delighted. This stupid woman still had a conscience! ...... The next day. Josie drove Erin to kindergarten first, and then took Violet to Pce Hotel. "Okay, Violet, I''ll pick you up this afternoon." Josie threw Violet a kiss and then drove away. What did Josie want to do? Violet was perplexed and went into the Hotel. The modelingpetition hade to a sessful end, and she had more offers. Julia''s scene will be finished today, so she will not have to follow the crew, which will free her up to do other things. "Good morning, Helena. You don¡¯t go to the award ceremony of the contest today?" Julia greeted Violet. "Good morning, Julia. I want toplete my job." Violet smiled and looked around, not seeing anyone else. Being the special guests of the contest, David and Jessie were still at the event. "Helena, you¡¯re beautiful, professional and have sense of humor. I can''t leave you." Julia gave apliment to her. Violet smiled, took out her makeup tools and started to apply Julia''s makeup. When she was done, she looked at the tool box and noticed that it was a little dirty, so she took it and prepared to go to the bathroom to clean. She walked with her head down, not paying attention to the people passing by, and bumped into one person at once. The tools in the box fell out and touched on the person''s suit. The smoky gray suit was instantly stained. "Sorry, sorry." Violet apologized repeatedly and tried to wipe it for him. But the man''s coat was stained with cosmetics, such as eye shadow and blush. These cosmetics can not be cleaned off just with water. The man frowned, and his face obviously shed with displeasure. He looked up and was about to reprimand. When he saw that it was Violet, his face changed. "Miss Violet, my coat is soiled by you. What are you gonna do?" He knew her? Raising her eyes, Violet looked at the man in front of her, thought for a moment, and finally recognized who he was. Marcus Scott, the eldest son of the Scott family! "So you¡¯re Mr. Scott." Violet looked at the stain on the hem of the man''s coat and said, "Why don''t you take your coat off and give it to me. I''ll dry clean it for you and then hand it back to you. Can I?" She operated a styling studio and naturally came into contact with many celebrities. Celebrities liked gossiping when they had nothing else to do. When she heard more, she got to know more about the famous families in Crotosi City. She heard that the Scott family and the Johnson family were rivals. And the head of the Scott family was now choosing a future heir. Marcus Scott also had a half-brother ... Chapter 172 Chapter 172 "Okay." Marcus grinned, took off his coat and tossed it to Violet. Violet hurriedly caught it, "Mr. Scott, again, I''m sorry. I''ll give it back to you when I''m done." "Good! Since you''re returning it to me, Miss Violet, how about adding your contact on What''s App first?" Marcus leaned closer with his smiling eyes. Violet frowned and took a slight step back. "Mr. Scott, just give me a number." Marcus was a yboy as other rich people. She didn''t want to get into trouble. "Isn''t Miss Violet divorced? Why are you still so wary of single men?" Marcus raised his eyebrows and looked at Violet with interest. Violet clutched the clothes in her hands and said in a light voice: "Mr. Scott, I''m busy. If it''s convenient for you to leave your phone number, then I can give the dry-cleaned clothes to the hotel manager ..." "139 ..." Marcus didn''t wait for Violet to finish before giving her his phone numbers. Violet hurriedly took out her phone and typed it down. "Mr. Scott, I''ll leave first then." Looking at the woman''s figure leaving with quick steps, Marcus raised his eyebrows and made a wicked smile. Louis'' ex-wife was still quite interesting. "Mr. Scott, what are you looking at?" A delicate female voice came from not far away. Marcus turned his head and smiled delightfully, "Hi, Ms. Grace." "Is Mr. Scott still satisfied with our suite service?" Grace nced around, saw no one else, and winked at Marcus. "Well, what do you think?" Marcus walked over to Grace and reached out his hand to stroke her buttocks. "Stop it. Someone will see us!" Grace said affectedly and moved away from him. Seeing that he was only wearing a shirt, she wondered a little, "Where''s your coat?" "It was soiled and taken to the dry cleaner." Marcus raised an eyebrow and took a big step forward. "I''ll go get you a new coat then?" "Grace''s room service is really attentive!" "It should be. You''re our VIP." Violet took Marcus''s coat to a dry cleaner and then returned to the dressing room. In the afternoon, when she finished Julia''s makeup for thest time, Josie came over with drinks and dessert. "Violet, I''m here to pick you up." Seeing it was Josie, Violet smiled lightly, "Josie, wait a minute. I''ll be ready in a minute." "No rush. I''ll go say hello to the crew." Josie distributed a portion of the afternoon tea to the artists and staff in the dressing room, and then went to the filming site. The two main actors were not here today, and Oscar was ready to call it a day after shooting a few supporting scenes. "Thank you all for taking care of Helena during this time. Please have afternoon tea!" Oscar looked up and saw Josie smiling as she handed out snacks and drinks to several crew members. She was wearing a loose green cardigan with white high waist pants. It looked casual and sexy at the same time. Her chestnut curly hair gathered to one side, revealing her swan-like neck. Delicate, sweet, sexy ... As always, she was striking. Oscar lit up and watched fixedly as Josie came towards him after handing out the food. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. "Oscar, it''s been a long day." Josie walked up to Oscar with a slight smile on her face and handed him what was in her hand. "Thanks." Oscar looked at her and took it slowly. "Finally, I''m done distributing." Josie ignored him, daintily patted the non-existent dust on her hands, turned around and prepared to leave. Only a sudden trip on her foot made her stumble and fall to the side. Josie cried out in surprise and fell into Oscar''s arms by coincidence. Chapter 173 Chapter 173 "Careful." Oscar hugged her in a hurry. The woman''s fragrance came to his nose, and her pretty face was close at hand. She looked a little panic, which made him feel pity. Oscar looked at Josie and his Adam''s apple moved up and down, "Josie, is everything okay?" "I''m fine." Josie stood up straight from his arms with a fumbling hand and fixed her hair around her ears. "Thanks! I, I''m going to the bathroom." Looking at the woman''s shy appearance, Oscar''s eyes darkened slightly and he quickly followed. Josie heard the sound of footstepsing from behind her, and snickered. Suddenly, she was pulled by someone. "Josie, wait a minute. I need to talk to you." "Is there something else Oscar?" Josie broke away from Oscar''s hand and asked in a light voice. Oscar looked at Josie''s pretty face and sighed, "Josie, I''ve always wanted to say sorry to you. How have you been over the past few years?" Hearing these words, Josie moved her lips, wanted to say something but then stopped. Her beautiful eyes began to redden, and her appearance looked extraordinarily pitiful. Seeing this, Oscar''s heart softened and he reached out to take her into his arms. "Josie, don''t cry. It made me feel so bad!" He was such a scum! Cursing in her heart, Josie ignored the goose bumps that rose on her body, and pushed him away. "Oscar, you don''t have to pretend to care about me. I''m rich and free, so I''m too happy with my life!" She looked away from him with a stubborn face. Oscar was tantalized and softened his voice withpulsion. "Josie, I really care about you. I know that you must not have forgotten me, and that''s why you haven''t remarry. Josie, in my heart, I still love you the most." Still loved her the most?! This was certainly a scum''s quote. He would never satisfy! Josie sneered in her heart, but her face did not show it. "Oscar, let me ask you just one question. If you can start all over again, will you still marry Jessie?" "Of course not, Josie. If I could go back to the past, I would love you and would never neglect you." Oscar swore, and Josie snickered. It was as if what he said was true. She tucked her hair around her ears and said in a delicate voice: "Oscar, I''m going to open a store, but I can''t find a suitable site. You know a lot of people. Do you have resources in this area?" Hearing this, Oscar thought for a moment, "Yes, I''ll wrap up soon. Wait for me. I''ll go with you." ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. "Oscar, you''re not afraid that Jessie will get upset when she sees it?" Josie''s almond eyes shed and she asked deliberately. "Josie, it''s my freedom to do whatever I want to do. If Jessie is unreasonable, then we''ll get a divorce." Oscar didn''t think much. He looked at the time and said, "Wait for me." "Okay. I''ll wait for you." Josie nodded and watched Oscar stride away, letting out a lightugh. Scum! She was just deliberately seducing him, and he was hooked! "Josie, what do you want? Why are you deliberately teasing Oscar?" Violet came out from a corner and looked at Josie with an inquisitive face. "Violet, did you hear everything?" Josie winked towards Violet and took out a recorder from her pocket. "For trying to disgust Jessie. Because she bullies you!" Violet just heard it all. Oscar, that shameless man, said that the person he loved most was Josie! If Jessie had heard that, she would have been furious! "Okay, Violet, you can go home by taxi first! I have to go with the scum." Josie put the recorder in her pocket and waved her hand towards Violet. Violet was stunned, "Josie, what else are you going to do?" "Let reporters make a big story out of it!" Chapter 174 Chapter 174 Violet watched Josie and Oscar walk away, feeling a little amused and touched. She was lucky to have such a good friend as Josie in her life. After sending Josie a reminder to be careful, she hailed a taxi and backed to her apartment. She promised Louis that she would make soup and visit him. After two hours of work, Violet put the soup into a thermos, and then drove to the hospital. When she arrived at the door of the VIP ward, she let out a deep breath, knocked on the door and pushed it in. "Hello, Mr. Johnson." Louis was reading papers on the bed, and when he heard Violet''s voice, he looked up. Violet ced the thermos on a table and asked with concern, "Are you feeling okay today?" Louis raised an eyebrow, "What are you going to do if I''m not okay?" If something happened to him, she would me herself to death. Violet pursed her lips, "I don''t know, but I''ll definitely feel guilty for the rest of my life." The woman''s face was serious. "What''s the big deal of feeling guilty? Shouldn''t you say that you will take care of me for the rest of your life?" said Louis who sneered. Luckily he was okay, so she didn''t have to take care of him for the rest of her life! Louis looked at the uneasy woman and didn''t joke anymore. Instead he took a file beside the bed in his hand. "You made a move in the finals of the contest?" Hearing this, Violet didn''t deny it, "Yes." "Why? Because of Isaac?" Louis narrowed his eyes and his eyes were sharpened. "No." Violet said, "I was stuck on the ind. It''s all because of Jasmine. And she caused you to be bitten by a poisonous snake. I can''t just let it go." The woman''s face was cold and calm. Gradually, the sharpness between Louis'' eyebrows dispersed. "In that case, you took revenge on her for me?" Violet''s eyes flickered slightly, "Not really. That, Mr. Johnson, what about the thing you promised me?" Can she please stop hinting at it? Louis looked at Violet, then handed her the file in his hand. "Everything is in the file. Can you handle it yourself?" "Yes, thank you." Violet hurriedly took it with a grateful face. Louis raised an eyebrow, his eyes falling on the thermos on the table. "Violet, don''t thank me verbally. Show your sincerity." Violet froze and looked at him with some confusion. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Louis burst out, "I''m hungry." This stupid woman brought the soup here, and didn''t know to serve him? "Oh oh, wait a moment." Violet understood, and hurriedly opened the thermos, and poured out the soup inside. The aroma of food instantly wafted in the air. Louis looked at Violet whose head down. "Mr. Johnson, be careful with the heat." Violet handed the soup to Louis. Louis did not reach out his hands, but said, "Feed me." He didn''t hurt his hands! "Mr. Johnson, your hands ... are okay?" "Poisoned, no strength." Okay! At least he was her life saver. She could feed him! Violet pursed her lips and sat down on the edge of the bed. Then, she scooped the soup, blew it gently, and passed it to his mouth. Louis stared at her face, slowly opened his mouth and drank the soup. "How does it taste?" inquired Violet. "Have you tasted it yourself?" Louis raised an eyebrow. "Tasted it, and I think it''s good." Chapter 175 Chapter 175 "You can try it again." Violet froze,dled a spoonful of soup and took a sip. "Mr. Johnson, I think it''s just right. Do you think the soup is nd or salty?" "If you think it''s just right, then it''s just right." The man smirked and Violet was amused and speechless. Was he ying with her? How came she didn''t realize before that he was so childish? "Mr. Johnson, do you want more?" "What do you think?" "Such a good soup, it''s too bad not to drink it all. So you are going to keep drinking it, right?" Violet scooped the soup and continued to pass it to his mouth. Louis raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth. "Violet, you just used this spoon." How did she forget about that? "Sorry, let me go get you a new one." Louis had cleanliness fetish! "No need, I don''t mind." Louis smiled meaningfully, "Violet, we used to be a couple and have done more intimate things. so it''s called indirect kiss just now?" She felt like a silly person in front of Louis, only to be fooled by him! Violet blushed, simply did not say anything, and just kept feeding him. Louis stared at her delicate face, and his eyebrows were full of smiles. Outside the ward. Grace came in with a thermos, and saw Louis staring at Violet with affection. At once, Grace''s face changed. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Violet came and actually made soup too! "Miss Violet, you''vee to see Louis." Grace squeezed out a smile and walked in. Seeing that it was Grace, Violetpressed her lips and stood up. "Hi, Miss Grace." "Well, we''re connected. I didn''t expect you to make soup for Louis too." Graceughed. Violet nced at her, inexplicably with a feeling of taking her credit. She packed up the thermos and said to Louis, "Mr. Johnson, thank you again. I''m still busy, so I will leave now." As he watched Violet leave, Louis'' eyebrows knitted slightly and his original smile faded away. Grace at the side looked at his expression, and her eyes flickered slightly. "Louis, I specially made the fish soup. Do you want to drink some more?" "No need." Louis wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and his voice was slightly cold. Grace pinched herself hard, and her eyes were slightly red. "Louis, are you ming me foring at a wrong time? I''m sorry. I didn''t know Miss Violet made soup for you too. If I have known, I would havee to see youter." The woman bit her lip, looking pitiful and aggrieved. Louis nced at her, just feeling annoyed. "Okay, I don''t me you. It''s just that I''m already full. I''ll have itter." Hearing this, Grace pretended to be happy. "Louis, then I''ll put the soup here. Remember to drink itter." "Well, you can go back. I''ll be discharged tomorrow. No need to visit me again." Louis took the file and started to work. The man''s face was aloof, a far cry from when he faced Violet. Grace''s fingers tugged tighter, and a dark look shed in her eyes. She had to find a way to separate the two of them! Violet left the hospital. She looked at the information in her hand, thought about it, and called Jasmine. "Jasmine, I want to see you." "Violet, what the hell are you? Why should I see you?" "You bettere see me if you don''t want your scandals exposed by me. I''ll send you an address on your phone." Violet didn''t say anything else and hung up the phone directly. Then she sent the meeting ce to Jasmine. She got in her car and drove to her destination. Chapter 176 Chapter 176 A cafe. Violet sat and waited for a while before Jasmine arrived btedly. "Violet, what did you mean on the phone?" Jasmine looked at Violet with a cold look in her eyes. Violet took out the file and spoke slowly. "Jasmine, I heard that you''re a bully since you were a child. In your senior year of high school, you were even almost put in the police station for hurting a boy?" What she said made Jasmine''s face change abruptly. "Violet, how did you know that!?" Only a few people in the Johnson family knew about this. How did Violet know about it!? "Not only do I know, I have a copy of the information in my hand." Violet patted the file on the table, "Jasmine, let''s make a deal." "What''s the deal?" "I want you to delete the video you took with Isaac, and discourage the idea of marrying him at the same time." Violet spoke lightly. Jasmine stared at her with a fierce look like she wanted to execute Violet. "Let me ask you. Where did you get this information? Did Louis give it to you?" Hearing this, Violet did not deny, "Yes, he gave it to me." It was Louis who helped her! That nasty bastard! Jasmine''s face was twisted in anger. She didn''t want to ept Violet''s requests, but if she didn''t, she wouldn''t be able to get away with it herself! "Jasmine, have you thought about it? If you''re ready, record a statement in front of me." Violet took out a recorder, "Just say that you will never hit on Isaac or marry him!" She had to record a statement! Jasmine felt a sh of irritation. "Violet, why are you ordering me around?" "On the basis of this information." Violet shook the file in her hand, "Jasmine, do you want to make a deal or not? I''m going to count to three. If you don''t want to make a deal, then I''ll post this information online. One, two ...." "I promise you." Jasmine gritted her teeth and squeezed the words out of her teeth. Violet smiled and gestured for her to delete the recorded video and record a statement again. Jasmine could only do as she was told. When all was done, Violet handed the file to her. "Jasmine, God is watching your every move. You should behave yourself." If she kept being willful and presumptuous, something will definitely happen to her sooner orter! Watching Violet leave proudly, Jasmine was so furious that she wanted to drop something. Damned bitch! She had fought for so long, but she hadn''t gotten a single advantage! And Louis, the bastard! He exposed her scandals! With him around, she wouldn''t live a good life in the Johnson family! After the deal, Violet was in a good mood, for having settled a matter of concern. She got in her car and sent a message to Isaac. "Isaac, the matter has been settled. Jasmine will not force you to marry her again. And all the videos she recorded of you and her have been deleted." Isaac was probably busy and didn''t return her message. Violet looked at the time, thought of Josie, and hurriedly called her. She didn''t know what her best friend was doing during the afternoon. On the other end. Josie followed Oscar to some stores. She held back the disgust in her heart and let Oscar take her by the shoulders and wrap his arms around her waist from time to time. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Because she knew that there were reporters behind her. And the news was revealed by her. She just wanted the news to spread so that Jessie could see it. When she had almost finished and tried to find an excuse to leave, Violet called her in time. She brightened up and picked up the phone, "Hello, Violet?" "Josie, where are you? Is everything okay?" "Huh? You''re too busy to pick up Erin? I know, I''ll get it right away." Chapter 177 Chapter 177 Josie replied incongruously and then hung up. Violet blinked, knowing that Josie was looking for an excuse to leave. She wasn''t in a position to ask any more questions, and only when Josie returned would she know exactly what she''d been doing all afternoon. On the other end, Josie shook her phone and smiled toward Oscar, "Oscar, I have to leave now. Thanks for apanying with me all afternoon. I''ll think about it and see which store is the most suitable." Seeing that Josie was about to leave, Oscar hurriedly pulled her back, "Josie, we haven''t seen each other for a long time. How about I have someone pick up that kid for you. And you and I can have a meal together." When she heard this, the smile on Josie''s face faded. She was about to break away from his hand when a woman''s voice came from not far away. "Oscar?" Hearing the call, Oscar froze and subconsciously let go of his hand. Seeing a man and a woman who were approaching, Josie''s eyebrows slightly raised. The woman was Jessie''s sister Ciara Shaw, and the man was Austin Evison. Josie heard that the Evison family was setting Austin up on many blind dates. Could Ciara Shaw was the chosen one? "Hi, Ciara, Mr. Evison." Oscar didn''t expect to meet acquaintances here and smiled shamefacedly. Austin nodded slightly at Oscar, and his eyes fell on Josie, with a glint of interest in his eyes. This was Oscar''s ex-wife. What were they doing here? "Oscar, why are you with her? Did she shamelessly seduce you?" Ciara red at Josie, full of contempt. "No, Ciara, you misunderstood, we ..." Oscar was about to exin, but Josie giggled. "Seduce? Miss Ciara, you don''t know how attractive Oscar is. Even if I seduce him, it''s a payback for a payback! You can tell it to Jessie and we can talk to it face to face!" What she wanted was for Jessie toe to her! Let''s see how she revealed the unknown side of the hypocritical bitch! Josie smiled delicately. Fixing her hair around her ears, she turned to leave Before leaving, she didn''t forget to wink at Austin. Jessie was a hypocritical bitch And Ciara was also not a good woman as well. Austin was from a respectable family in Crotosi City. Why did he choose Ciara as his girlfriend?! "Austin, she was just hitting on you!" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Ciara was so angry that she stomped her foot. Austin raised his eyebrows, and his interest in Josie intensified. He had seen too many pretentious women, but Josie was much more interesting than them! ... The Johnson family. As soon as Jasmine returned to her room, she smashed everything in the room to vent her frustration. At that moment, she received a message on her cell phone. Jasmine grimaced and gasped as she reached for her phone to check the message. "Baby, don''t forget your old love when you have a new one." It was a message from Marcus. He was joking with her. But she was in a terrible mood. Jasmine calmed down a bit and dialed his number. "Marcus, I''ve been put on the spot." She couldn''t endure such insult! Marcus was a man with many ideas, so she wanted to hear from him to see if she could still turn things around! "What''s wrong?" "It''s that bitch Violet, and that damned bastard Louis ..." Jasmine furiously told the events of the day. When she finished, she chirped, "Marcus, I can''t endure this. Can you help me out again and let me marry Isaac?" Marcus''s softughter came over the receiver. "Baby, is Isaac that good? I''m not as good as him?" "That''s not true." "Okay. Baby, why don''t we join our families by marriage?" Chapter 178 Chapter 178 The marriage of two families?! Jasmine froze in her tracks and said, "No way! Our families are business rivals. My father will never agree to it." She still knew what she was doing. If Marcus hadn''t deluded her to help her take down Isaac, she would have stayed away from him. "There are no permanent enemies in business world. Baby, you''ve said as long as Louis is in charge of the Johnson family, you''ll never have a good day. But if we marry, I''ll be your strong backer. And will you still be afraid of him?" Marcus Scott was good at persuading her step by step. Jasmine gripped her phone tightly. Thinking about what had happened, her eyes shed. Marcus''s words were not without merit. If she had a strong backer, would she be afraid of Louis? And she would fix him to death! However ... "Marcus, it''s too sudden. Let me think about it." Her parents wouldn''t have any problem with whom she wanted to marry. But the Scott family was different. After all, their families had a feud for a very long time. "Okay, honey, take your time to think about it. I''ll wait for your news." After hanging up the phone, Jasmine looked at the screen of her phone and fumed. She was ready to take Marcus''s proposal. For her, family feud was not something she should think about. She just thought about immediate benefits and wanted nothing more than to take revenge! "Jasmine, why are you throwing such a tantrum?" Rosalie pushed the door in, saw the mess on the floor and frowned. Jasmine came back to her senses and hurriedly walked over to take Rosalie''s hand. "Mom, I have something to discuss with you." "What is it?" "What do you think if I marry Marcus Scott, the eldest son of the Scott family?" What? Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Rosalie''s eyes shed with consternation and her brow knitted tighter. "Jasmine, what the hell are you up to? A few days ago there''s a rumor that you and thatmoner named Isaac were going to be engaged. And now you want to join the Scott family?" Her daughter, who has been spoiled by her since she was a child, was really capricious. "Mom, the previous news isn''t true. Isaac is just a low-ssmoner. I just y with him to piss off Violet. But now ..." Jasmine, with a face of indignation, told Rosalie about how Louis helped Violet expose her scandals. Rosalie''s face changed as she listened, "It''s outrageous. How dare Louis do that? Does he still treat you like his family member?" "Mom, he''s an illegitimate son. He doesn''t care about us. As long as he is in the Johnson family, we will not have a good life." Jasmine took the opportunity to persuade her mother, "So, if we want to pull him down, the only way is to use external forces. And a marriage with the Scott family is the best way to do that." Hearing this, Rosalie frowned, "Jasmine, that''s true. But the Scott and Johnson families have always been ipatible. I''m afraid your father will not agree." The feud between the two families originated in the previous generations. The two heads of the families were originally friends, but turned against each other because of a woman. As a result, the two families became business rivals afterwards. "Mom, let''s go convince dad!" Jasmine encouraged her, "Marcus said that there are no permanent enemies in business world. And the Scott and Johnson families can join forces and do business together." Hearing these words, Rosalie was finally convinced. "Okay, let''s find a suitable opportunity to talk to your father." Jasmine was satisfied, "Mom, if Marcus and I get married. And Louis marries Grace who has no family background. Then we can definitely be head and shoulders above him in the future. When the time She was waiting to see Louis get trampled under their feet! ... Styling Studio. "Josie, you''ve been with Oscar all afternoon? Tell me, what else do you want to do?" Violet asked Josie with curiosity. "Don''t worry. When it''s over, you''ll know." Josie smiled delicately and flipped through the news on her phone. The news about her and Oscar already started to spread! Chapter 179 Chapter 179 "Are you keeping me guessing?" Violetughed and didn''t continue to ask more. At that moment, Isaac came in. "Violet." Hearing the call, Violet nced up at him. Issac''s face was a little haggard, and he seemed to have matured a lot in just a few days. Violet knew that the incident must have sickened him. He couldn''t be in a good mood. "Isaac, did you get my message?" "Yes." Isaac looked at her, "Violet, I want to know. How did you solve it?" "Louis helped me. He gave me a copy of Jasmine''s scandals and told me to use it as a leverage to bargain with Jasmine. Eventually Jasminepromised." Violet handed a recorder to Isaac, "Here is Jasmine''s statement. I think she''ll stop hitting on you." Louis helped her! Isaac''s fingers tugged slightly as he slowly took the recorder. Violet looked at his face, and her eyes moved slightly. "Isaac, it''s finally over. But Jasmine is a woman without boundaries. She may still covet you. I think it''ll be better for you to find a good girl to marry sooner." He was not too young, and Esther, Issac''s mother started to urge him. She really wanted him to be happy! Isaac raised his eyes and looked at her steadily, "Violet, I ..." His feelings for her had never changed. But she ... "Isaac, in my heart, you are my brother I value the most. I really want you to be happy." Violet once again made her heart clear. Her eyes were clear and sincere. Isaac''s fists tugged tightly and a glimmer of gloom shed in his eyes. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. It was true that she only considered Issac as her brother. Not to mention the fact that now, she was surrounded by good men from noble families like Louis. He had no chance of winning her heart! "Hi, Isaac." Evie came up from downstairs and greeted Isaac. Isaac barely managed to pull himself together and smiled to Evie. Violet looked at Evie and smiled, "Evie, Isaac, I miss thest time you guys cooked together. Why don''t we do it again tonight?" "Sure." Evie readily agreed and looked to Isaac, "Isaac, let''s go grocery shopping, okay?" Isaac nced at Violet and finally suppressed the bitterness in his heart, "Okay." "Isaac, how about I cook today, and you help me, okay?" "Okay." Watching the two leave to buy groceries, Violet smiled slightly. They looked so matched together! she hoped to hear good news from them. ... An upscale residentialmunity. Jessie pushed open the study door and mmed her phone at Oscar. "Oscar, what do you want? Are you tired of being with me and missing how good your ex-wife is!? Do you want to divorce me and get back together with her?" Oscar was busy with work, dodged and was hit by the phone on the shoulder. At once, he got furious. "Jessie, are you going to fight with me again over some shit? Won''t you be tired?" "Oscar, you can''t change your own nature!" Jessie threw all the books on the table at Oscar, "Do you want to be with her? I''m telling you, don''t even think about it!" Oscar looked at the shrew-like woman, and his anger spiked. "Enough! Jessie! If you keep messing around, we will divorce!" Chapter 180 Chapter 180 Oscar was going to divorce her! Jessie watched Oscar mming the door and threw the stuff on the table to the ground again in anger. He actually mentioned divorce to her? Was he really tired of being with her and wanted to get back together with Josie? Josie! Bitch! Jessie''s chest rose and fell in resentment. She thought of what Ciara said to her before. After Josie was caught red-handed by Ciara, Josie didn''t forget to provoke her, asking Jessie to reason with her if Jessie had the guts! Josie was aggressive enough! Jessie closed her eyes. When she opened them again, a slight cold aura shed in her eyes. She picked her phone up from the ground and found Josie''s number. "Josie, let''s meet ..." She was going to find her and reason with her! Pce Hotel. Marcus leaned back on the bed, squinted his eyes and took a drag on his cigarette as he watched the message from Jasmine. "Marcus, my mom promised me that she''ll convince my dad to let me marry you. If my dad agrees, you have to be ready toe and propose marriage." Jasmine, the stupid woman, was really bewitched by him. Marcus snorted lightly, and his eyes were filled with mockery. "What are you looking at, dear? What''s funny?" Grace climbed up on the bed and looked at his phone. Her face changed when she saw Jasmine''s name disyed on the phone. Grace snatched the phone and watched their conversation carefully. "Marcus, what do you mean? Are you going to marry Jasmine?" Marcus snuffed the cigarette, nced at her unhappily, and took the phone out of her hand. "So what if I am?" How could he marry Jasmine? If he married Jasmine, what about her? Grace grabbed Marcus''s hand, "Marcus, you said you''ll marry me! Why do you want to marry Jasmine now?" Marcus shook off her hand, and his face was a little cold, "Grace, whom I want to marry is my business." He lowered his head, which was grim and Grace''s eyes reddened at once. "Marcus, I''ve been with you for so many years. And I got nothing, right? You''re just lying to me. You don''t want to marry me at all, right?" She had been with him since he saved her from a few jerks in her freshman year of college. He had promised her he would marry her! Marcus''s eyes shed with impatience as he watched Grace cry. Thinking of his big n, he suppressed his temper and pulled her into his arms. "Well, don''t talk nonsense. Approaching Jasmine is for the sake of our future. She knows you vulnerability, so of course I have to win her over. I can''t let her spoil our n." "Don''t worry. I''m just using her. In my heart, the person I love most is you. And the future Mrs. Scott will only be you." His coaxing words made Grace calm down a little. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. She straightened her body and looked at Marcus, "Marcus, are you telling the truth? The future Mrs. Scott will only be me?" "Of course!" "But you''re going to marry." "So what? Don''t know my ultimate goal?" Marcus reached out and smoothed her hair, and there was maliciousness in his eyes. Grace was silent, because she knew that Marcus''s ultimate goal was not only to be the Scott family''s ruler, but also to annex the Johnson Group and be the business overlord of Crotosi City. So four years ago, after she stumbled upon Violet who was pregnant with Louis''s child, he let her take a child away. He wanted her to use the child to infiltrate the Johnson family and act as an inside man for him. He should have started his n a long time ago, but she was in a sudden car ident abroad, so the n was put on hold again and again. Chapter 181 Chapter 181 "Okay Grace, don''t be grumpy. Just remember my words. The person I love the most is you. You have to be the Johnson family''s daughter-inw early. And do a good job as my inside man. The future of Crotosi is ours!" Marcus deluded Grace again. Grace nced at him and, with a petnt grimace, leaned into his arms. "But Marcus, with Violet around, Louis is cold to me. I''ve tried several times, and he won''t relent in taking me back to the Balridge Manor." Not taking her back to the Balridge Manor meant he didn''t want to marry her. How could she work for him as an inside man if that was the case? "Violet? If she''s going to be a hindrance to us, we''ll destroy her." Marcus stroked Grace''s hair and said it in a light-hearted way. Destroy her? The best way to destroy a woman was a man! If she fooled around with men, they would see if Louis would still like her! Grace''s eyes rolled up, "Marcus, haven''t you always hated your half-brother? I do have a n to kill two birds with one stone." "Tell me." The next day. Josie was invited to the Imperial Club. When she entered the private room, Jessie was already there. Josie smiled coldly and walked over to a couch and sat down. "Jessie, what did you call me over for?" Jessie nced at her and personally poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her. "Josie, are you thirsty? Have a cup of tea." "No, I''m afraid some whores won''t do anything good and will put something in the tea." Josie replied nonchntly. Jessie''s face changed and she was about to get angry. But thinking of something, she managed to suppress her anger. "Josie, I know you are still angry with me because I came between you and Oscar. But love can''t distinguish who is first and second. And it can''t distinguish right and wrong, Oscar and I came together because we loved each other. I really hope you can be more generous and stop targeting me, okay?" Josie calmed down, letting her becent for a while! "Jessie, you''re so eloquent. You actually describe a mistress''s behavior in such a different way?" snickered Josie. Jessie was wordless, looked at Josie''s sneering face, and suppressed the fire in her heart. "Josie, no matter what happened before, now Oscar is my beloved husband. I beg you, don''t deliberately destroy our family, can you?" "You''re saying I''m deliberately destroying your family?" "No? Are you still in love with Oscar?" asked Jessie. Josieughed lightly, "Jessie, I''m not you. I won''t take a piece of stinky shit as a treasure." Shepared Oscar to a stinky piece of shit. She wondered if Oscar will be angry when he heard it. Jessie was sneering in her heart, but her face didn''t show it. "So, when you made a scandal with my husband yesterday, you didn''t actually want to get back together with him. You just seduced him on purpose, right?" "Wrong! I didn''t do it on purpose, I ... intentionally seduced!" Josie gave a provocative smile. Jessie was so furious by her arrogance that she almost couldn''t hold back. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. She took a deep breath, "Josie, don''t go too far! You can hate me if you want. But don''t y with my husband''s feelings." Looking at Jessie with an unrepentant look, Josie raised her eyebrows, and something shed in her eyes. She was so arrogant, and Jessie could still be so calm? It seemed that this woman was also ready to set her up today? It was the same as her purpose. Josie snorted lightly, "Jessie, I''m getting back at you and Oscar. But I''m doing it, not for me, but for my best friend Violet." Chapter 182 Chapter 182 For Violet? Jessie''s eyes moved slightly as she waited for Josie to continue. "My best friend was put in the hospital on the first day of the contest by you. Jessie, you are so sinister." How did she know about this? Jessie''s eyes shed, "Josie, I don''t know what you''re talking about." "Jessie, there are no outsiders here, so don''t pretend." Josie stared at her, "Do you swear to God? If Violet''s diarrhea has anything to do with you, then you''ll end up alone for the rest of your life, get hit by a car and die, and give birth to deformed babies!" "You!" Jessie''s face changed a lot. For a moment, she turned off the recorder in her bag and finally stopped pretending. "So what, Josie? Violet is as much a bitch as you are! I''ve been very kind to her by only letting her suffer diarrhea! Who is she? Why do all the men like her?" The conversation between them just now was enough. Josie was deliberately seducing Oscar and destroying her family. As soon as she intercepted a portion of the recording and put it online, Josie will be drowned by the curses of her fans! That was why she asked Josie to meet her. Of course, there was a good show to follow! "Jessie, you finally admitted it." Josie had a mocking look, "You said all the men like Violet. You''re jealous, huh? And one of the men you''re referring to is David, right? Have you forgotten that you are a married woman?" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Josie, you don''t have to lecture me. Why don''t you think about how to leave this roomter?" Jessie got up and smiled meaningfully. The smile on Josie''s face was slightly restrained, and her eyebrows wrinkled. "Jessie, what do you mean?" "What do I mean? Right away you''ll know." Jessie pulled open the door and tapped it twice, and three men walked in from outside. "Josie, since you like seducing men so much, I''ll satisfy you!" Jessie would teach her a lesson, to see if she dared seduce Oscar in the future! As Josie watched Jessie close the door and leave, Josie''s face changed. The sudden heat that rose up in her body, coupled with the three men who came in, made her feel that something was wrong. Jessie was really a mean woman, actually setting her up! But she was afraid that Jessie would do it before, so she didn''t drink anything aftering in. How came she was still trapped? "You all fuck off!" Josie picked up a cup of water on the table, sshed the water at them, and broke the cup. She picked up a shard and cut herself in the arm so she could stay awake. At the same time, she backed toward the door. The three men looked at each other and quickly blocked her path ... The private room opposite. Austin had an appointment with a cooperative partner. His phone rang. Politely gesturing to his partner, he pulled open the door of the room and was ready to answer the phone. "Help, let go of me! Let go!" The door of a private room opened slightly and then was closed again with a "ping". Austin''s eyebrows knitted in thought. He had just nced at the door without thinking too much. But why did he seem to see Josie? She was screaming for help! Austin took a big step to the door of the private room and kicked it open. Inside the room, three men were pulling Josie. Austin''s face was grim, "What are you doing?" One of the men turned around and shouted, "Who are you? You dare meddle in my business?" Without saying a word, Austin took an ashtray on the table and smashed it directly at the man who was speaking. "Ah!" The man let out a miserable scream, and instantly let go of Josie and held his head. The other two stopped pulling and were about to step forward to punch Austin. However, one of them recognized Austin. "He''s Austin. Let''s get out of here." The three men left in a panic, and Austin smiled coldly, turning his head to look at the woman on the couch. Chapter 183 Chapter 183 At this time, the woman''s eyes were vacant as well as charming. Half-dressed, she was extremely tempting. Austin swallowed unconsciously as he walked to the couch and took off his jacket to cover Josie and the tititing . "Are you okay?" She felt hot! So hot! So ufortable! Josie''s body wriggled like a dehydrated fish, looking for a sweet source. Austin''s nice smell was approaching, so she couldn''t help but wrap her arms around him, trying to draw in the refreshing sweetness. "Well, you''re so cold andfortable." The woman''s hand nimbly burrowed into his shirt like a small snake. Austin gasped and his eyes darkened. "Josie, you ..." Apparently, from her behavior, he could see that she was trapped by someone . He had to get her to hospital! Suddenly, a strange fragrance came to his nose ... There was incense in this room! "Don''t go ..." Josie was no longer sober. She pushed Austin onto the couch and climbed ... He was fucking saving her but going to be raped! ... Styling Studio. Violet was busy in styling customers. "Jesus, do you guys see the news just now? She''s so shameless." "You''re talking about the statement Jessie made, right?" "Yes, yesterday there was a news. Jessie''s husband, the famous director Oscar, might be divorcing Jessie and remarrying his ex-wife Josie? But it turns out that it''s all Josie''s intentional revenge on Jessie!" "I also saw it! Originally I was quite sympathetic to the woman named Josie. But now, I think she''s probably twisted mentally because of the divorce, right?" "Yes! I think she can''t let go of the past, so she deliberately seduced Oscar to get back at Jessie!" Violet''s ears were filled with the gossip of several customers. She stopped in dismay. She had seen the news about Josie and Oscar yesterday. But what statement did Jessie issue today? "What news are you talking about?" Violet smiled and asked one of the customers. "Look, you can read it yourself." The customer handed the phone to Violet, "Helena, Josie seems to be your best friend, right? You can persuade her that the past is over, so don''t try to destroy other people''s families. There''s no need!" Hearing this, Violet smiled embarrassingly and hurriedly took her phone to read the news. This was a statement issued by Jessie. She gave an exnation for the scandal that Josie and Oscar had been involved in yesterday. And there was an audio recording of the conversation between Josie and Jessie. Josie said that she treated Oscar like stinky shit. She just seduced Oscar on purpose! Thement section was already blowing up. All of them were cursing Josie for her shamelessness. Jessie''s fans especially insulted Josie badly. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Jessie also said in her statement that she didn''t me Josie. Please don''t me her either. Violet stroked her forehead! Was this what her bestie wanted to do? To get caught by Jessie and have a bash? Violet returned the phone to the customer, then went to call Josie in a corner after finishing her work. Chapter 184 Chapter 184 Violet had waited for a long time and Josie did not answered until thest second. Josie''s raspy voice came from the receiver. "Violet." Her sound... Was she sleeping? But it was alreadyte in the afternoon. Where did she sleep? Surprise shed in Violet''s eyes, "Josie, where are you? Did something happen?" "I''m fine. It''s just ..." Josie paused, and Violet hastily asked, "Just what?" "It''s just that kindergarten is supposed to be over, but I forgot to pick up Erin, so you have to go there soon." Erin hadn''t been picked up! Violet was startled, and although there were a million questions in her mind, it was clear that now was not the time to ask. "Okay, then I''ll go pick up Erin first. Josie, are you ... really okay?" Why did she sound so tired? "I''m really okay. I''ll talk to you when I''m back." At the other end of the phone, Josie hung up, looked at Austin who was getting dressed. Somewhat chagrined, she fixed her hair around her ear. What a depression! She was actually taken advantage of by Austin! No! Technically, she forced Austin to sleep with her! The scene shed back that she grabbed him and not let go, ans she kissed and hugged him. It was so humiliating! "Mr. Evison ..." "You ..." The two spoke in unison. Austin raised his eyebrows and looked at the blushing woman and said softly, "You first." "I''m trying to say that we''re all adults. What just happened ... Just think of it as a game yed between adults!" Josie wrapped in her nket. Her eyes averted, not looking at Austin. Austin gave a smile and his good-looking eyebrows knitted. "A game between adults? Miss Josie, you''re really open." He also wanted to say that he would be responsible for her. He didn''t expect her to have an indifferent attitude toward him! Whoever came in and had sex with her just now, it didn''t matter to her? "Mr. Evison, I''m just trying not to embarrass you. Don''t you forget, you''re the one who ran in and took advantage of me!" Josie heard the mockery in Austin''s tone and disliked it. "Is it really me taking advantage of you? And not you hugging me for pleasure?" Austin leaned in closer to Josie. He smirked, "Miss Josie, if I hadn''te in, would you want to y a game of three just now?" The man''s good smell was approaching. Josie gasped and then looked away for not feeling "Thank you anyway, but why didn''t you take me to the hospital?" "Because I couldn''t make it!" Austin slowly straightened up, walked to the window, and picked up an aromatherapymp that had been extinguished. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Miss Josie, whom the hell did you offend? Using such despicable means against you, and I lost my innocence!" His innocence? It was as if he was still a virgin. Josie''s mind shed to the scene of the two intertwined, and she hurriedly stopped to keep her mind from wandering. "I offended Jessie. She invited me and meet there. I thought she was like me, carrying a recorder to get the words, but I didn''t expect her to be more ruthless than I''m." Jessie actually found three men to ruin her! She was such a malicious woman! "You knew she had a recorder with her?" Austin gave Josie an interested look. "Yes! And I know for sure she''s going to take it out of context online and say I seduced her husband." Josie fetched her phone and saw the statement Jessie had issued. Now in everyone''s eyes, she was a psychologically sick, bad woman who destroyed other people''s families! Josie snorted lightly and took a recorder out of her bag and yed the entire conversation. Let the fallout continue for a while, and then she will reverse the "truth". She will reveal the true face of Jessie, the fake bitch. Chapter 185 Chapter 185 "Miss Josie is quite scheming! Since you went out with your ex-husband yesterday, you''ve been nning to expose Jessie''s ugly secret?" Austin listened to the entire recording, and his interest in her intensified. "That''s right! Just because she bullied my bosom friend." Josie put the recorder away and spoke up. "So you''re doing it for Violet? And not because of Oscar?" Austin raised an eyebrow slightly and stared at Josie. "Oscar is just a scumbag. He''s nothing to me and not worthy." Josie looked disdainful. Her whole body was sore and limp and she wanted to get up. But looking at the ground of torn clothes, she furrowed her brows. How can she go back with this? "Rest for a while. I''ll let my assistant have women''s clothes delivered here." Austin understood Josie''s intention and took out his cell phone to call his assistant. The man had a long body and his nobleness was showed in every action. Josie wrapped up tighter under the quilt and let out a long breath. They were all adults and hoped to forget this matter that happened today as soon as possible. ... Kindergarten entrance. "Well, why hasn''t anyonee to pick up Erin today?" Erin looked at the distant traffic stream, and her little mouth puckered. Beside her stood Luka. The only person who came to pick him up today was the driver. He wasn''t in a hurry to leave and wouldn''t go back until Erin was picked up. They waited for a while, and no one came to pick her up. Luka''s eyes moved, "Erin, go y at my house and have aunt Violete pick you upter." He hadn''t seen aunt Violet in ages! He heard from Erin that she was away on a business trip to make money, and he missed her so much! "Yeah, but, first I have to call mommy." Erin cocked her head and thought about it. "Okay, let''s get in the car and then we''ll call her." Luka took Erin''s hand and followed the driver toward the car. The other side. Violet hurriedly drove to the kindergarten. On her way to the kindergarten, she received a phone call from her daughter. "Mommy, I''m going to Luka''s house! You can pick me upter." she was so easy to be abducted! "Erin, where are you? Mommy will be at school soon!" "Mommy, I''m on my way to Luka''s house! Are youing too?" Erin was going to the Balridge Manor. How came she not pick her up? Violet made a U-turn and headed to manor. Hospital. Louis waited for the doctor to finish hisst test and then prepared to be discharged from the hospital. The person who apanied him was Grace. "Louis, let me drive you home." She purposely did not pick up Luka because she wanted to go to Balridge Manor with Louis. Louis'' movement of packing hisptop paused. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. He was about to say something but his cell phone rang. It was a call from Maria. Louis picked up and smiled, "Grandma." "Louis, are you still busy? Come back early if you have time. Luka has brought back a little guest named Erin." His son took Erin to Balridge Manor! Louis'' eyes rolled slightly, then he hung up the phone. Erin went to Balridge Manor. Didn''t that mean Violet will be thereter? Chapter 186 Chapter 186 Louis'' face shed with a smile. He nced at Grace and resumed his coldness. "Grace, you can go back to the apartment. I''ll go home by myself." Hearing this, Grace''s eyes flickered slightly, "Louis, I heard that when seasons change, the elderly are most likely to be unwell. I especially went to buy some supplements. I want to visit Maria with you." Louis nced at her and his hand stopped tidying his jacket. "Grace, you''re thoughtful, but not today. Grandma won''t want to see you." He could probably understand Grace''s idea. It was an excuse to go to Balridge Manor with him, right? If it was in ordinary times, it was fine, but not today. And Violet went to Balridge Manor. "And when will be okay?" Grace took the opportunity to ask, "Louis, if Maria never likes me, will I have to follow you like a mistress?" Louis''s footsteps paused, "Grace, if you have someone you like, no need to hold back. You can go and pursue your own happiness. I will bless you." Was this a disguised response to her? He was not going to let her enter the Johnson Family? "Louis, you know I don''t mean that. I just want Luka to have aplete family." Grace kept up with Louis, weeping. Louis'' thin lips werepressed and he did not speak. Of course he knew his son needed aplete family. But who will be his mother was still an open question! "Grace, I have things to do. You can go back first." "Louis!" Grace looked at Louis'' back, and the soft look on her face disappeared. Did he still want Violet to be the matriarch of the Johnson Family? Let''s see how she will ruin Violet! ... Balridge Manor. Erin was a sweet-talker. She called Maria great-grandmother, which made Maria very happy. "Little Erin, how can you be so cute and well-behaved?" Maria was feeding her fruit and gave her many snacks, happily chatting with her. Erin was smiling cheekily and eating fruit. Her big eyes were blinking, and naive. Luka sat aside and had the fruit as well, but her eyes were fixed on the direction of the door. Erin was here, and aunt Violet should be here soon! Maria looked at them, only to feel that they looked like dolls from paintings. They were all good-looking , and also extraordinarily simr. At that moment, they heard the sound of footsteps at the door and Violet walked in. "Grandma." Maria froze, and there was a glint of surprise in her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Erin had slipped off the couch and ran toward Violet. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. "Mommy." Mommy!? How came Erin call Violet mommy? The smile on Maria''s face gave way and she watched steadily as Violet picked Erin up in her arms. Violet pinched Erin''s nose and pouted, "You, you''re running around again." "I''m in Luka''s house. It''s okay." Erin hugged Violet''s neck and talked to her affectionately. Maria looked at them, and something shed in her cloudy old eyes. "Violet, you and this kid are ..." Violet put Erin down, stroked Luka''s little head, and looked over at Maria. "Grandma, I''m sorry, but I have a confession to make. Before I married into the Johnson Family, I had a child, and Erin is my daughter." Since Erin was here, she had no choice but to confess to Maria that she had given birth to a child. It was good to let Maria know she had a daughter, so Maria won''t intentionally set her up with Louis in the future. Maria quickly calmed down after a brief moment of shock. "Luka, go y with Erin." Luka gave Violet a bright-eyed look before pulling Erin outside. "Violet,e and sit down." Maria waved her hand at Violet, gesturing for her to sit over. "You hide so much from grandma. Tell me, what other secrets are you hiding from me?" "No more." Violet sat down beside her with an apologetic look on her face. Chapter 187 Chapter 187 Maria looked at the children outside the door, "You have a good-looking daughter. She inherits your beauty. So her father is?" Erin''s father!? Violet''s eyes flickered slightly, and although she didn''t want to lie to Maria again, she finally said, "Dead." At that moment, Maria nodded and did not continue to ask questions. "Violet, let bygones be bygones. Grandma is not a old-fashioned person. It must be hard for you to live alone with your daughter! Just as well, let Louis re-marry you and help you raise Erin together." Maria''s idea was so funny! She can''t keep up a bit! "Grandma, I''m a single mom ..." "What''s wrong with single moms? My Louis is also a single father, so it just makes a pair." They can still make a pair like this? A single mother who was amoner was notparable to a single father of a wealthy family. Maria was too good for her! However, Violet found it both funny and annoying, "Grandma, I don''t want to disturb you. I should take Erin back home now." "You''re already here. How can you leave in a hurry? Louis will be back too soon." Maria had a face of disapproval. Louis wasing back too? Violet froze, and was about to speak when the cheerful sound of her daughter already rang out from outside. "Uncle Louis." Louis was back. Violet''s heart inexplicably jumped and she looked at the door. Outside the door, Louis smiled, picked up Erin, and walked in with Luka. Maria''s eyes shed with astonishment when she heard Erin called Louis "uncle". It looked like her grandson had met Erin before. Did he know that Erin was Violet''s daughter? Maria''s old eyes narrowed slightly and then fell on the three at the door. Why did she feel that Erin and her grandson looked very simr? They looked like a family. "Grandma." Louis entered, greeted Maria, then nced at Violet. Violet got up and greeted him politely, "Mr. Johnson." Louis replied with a "hmm". His mood was not bad. He put Erin down and casually asked, "What were you guys talking about?" "Talking about a single dad and a single mom''s marriage." Maria burst out with such a sentence. Violet just felt extremely wordless. She hastily interrupted, "Erin, let''s go back!" It was so embarrassing. "Mommy, can''t we y in uncle Louis'' house for a while longer?" Erin asked with reluctance to leave, blinking her big eyes. "Yes, of course you can." Maria said, "Erin, don''t listen to your mommy. Go y with Luka for as long as you want. Stay here when you''re tired, and go to school together with Luka tomorrow." Maria was too enthusiastic! "Mommy ..." Erin smiled sweetly and asked for Violet''s opinion. Louis said, "Since you''re here, make a meal for the kids. Luka should be eager to eat the children''s meal made by you." Hearing these words, Luka nodded vigorously, with a pair of bright eyes. Violet noticed Luka''s facial expression. She was softhearted and didn''t refuse again. "Okay then, I''ll go to the kitchen and cook for Luka." "Thank you Violet." Luka was really happy and saw Violet go to the kitchen, so he pulled Erin and ran outside. "Erin, there''s so much fun over there." "Wow, Luka, your house is so big." "Well, if you''re tired of ying, you can also stay at my house. There''s plenty of rooms." "What about my mommy? If she lives here, I''ll stay." Maria was all smiles as she listened to the childish talk of the two. "Louis, it seems you knew Erin is Violet''s daughter from the beginning?"? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Chapter 188 Chapter 188 Hearing Maria''s question, Louis replied, "I just knew it several days ago." "That little girl seems to be congenial with you." Maria spoke again. Louis smiled but didn''t say something. "So do you mind Violet has a child?" That was a good question! Louis'' smile faded and still did not speak. Did he mind it? It was a lie to say he didn''t mind. The thought that Violet had a rtionship with a man before him just made him inexplicably irritable. "Louis, ah, you have a women before too, so let''s call it even." ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Maria, seeing Louis'' displeasure, spoke up. Louis'' brows furrowed slightly, and he kept silent. Although that was true, he always felt ufortable in his heart. "Louis, don''t you think Erin looks a little bit like you? What if you not only slept with Luka''s mother four years ago, but also slept with Violet? Maybe you just forgot about her." Maria suddenly burst out with another questions, making Louisugh out loud. "Grandma, in your eyes, is your grandson a man who sleeps around?" Since his childhood, he had always been puritanical. He wouldn''t sleep with Grace if he hadn''t been trapped. He clearly remembered that he had only slept with one woman four years ago, okay? "You really don''t have intermittent memory loss?" Maria was unwilling to give up and put forward more questions. "Grandma, are you cursing me?" Louis nced at her speechlessly. Maria coughed lightly, "Well, let''s just say that Erin is rted to our family, even looks like the Johnsons." If her grandson did remarry Violet in the future, they will definitely have a daughter as beautiful as Erin! Erin looked like the Johnsons? Louis''s eyes drifted. Violet said Erin''s father was dead and he was still curious about who the man was! In the garden, the children were having a good time. "Luka, you do not move first. Come back to meter." Erin said this as she ran. Luka turned his back to her and nodded vigorously. The two ned to y hide-and-seek, with Erin hiding and him waiting to go find her. Erin ran for joy and just wanted to find a secluded ce to hide. The Johnson Family''s garden was sorge. Erin turned around but collided with someone walking towards her. "Ouch!" The two yelped in unison and Erin sat on the ground. The person on the other side took two steps backward, barely standing still. "Who are you? Are you blind? Are you in a hurry to go to hell?" Jasmine lowered her eyes and looked at her soiled clothes, patting the dust with exasperation. Erin got up from the ground, touched her sore bottom, and said somewhat timidly, "Auntie, I''m sorry." She had seen this fierce aunt before. And she was a little scared! Erin''s soft voice made Jasmine stupefied a little bit. She looked up sharply and stared at Erin, "It''s you? What are you doing here? Huh?" "I... I came to y with Luka." Erin looked at Jasmine''s furious face and couldn''t help but take a step back. Tripping over, she fell on the ground again. Hmm! My butt hurt! Erin was down in the mouth, and her eyes overflowed with tears. "You''re crying!? It''s so annoying! You''re as annoying as your mother! Get out of my house!" Jasmine red at Erin in disgust. Because this little girl was Violet''s daughter, Jasmine reached her hand out to pick her up. "Ooh, Luka, mommy, uncle Louis,e here!" Chapter 189 Chapter 189 Erin tried to break Jasmine''s hand and cried loudly. Luka rushed over from a short distance away. When he saw that Jasmine was dragging Erin with a scowl on her face, he rushed to Jasmine like a little rocket and kicked her, while grabbing her hand and biting it hard. "Ouch! It hurts like hell!" Jasmine screamed and shook Luka off. There was already a clear tooth mark on her wrist, and blood oozed out. It was evident that this bite was heavy. Jasmine was wrathful and was about to open her mouth, when suddenly felt cold ... "Ah!" At that moment, Luka was picking up a gardener''s watering can and spraying it towards Jasmine. Jasmine was soaked to the skin and screamed so loudly that the whole manor could hear that. Rosalie and Leon, who came inte, were startled to see this. "Luka, what are you doing? Stop it!" Rosalie red at Luka and snarled. "Luka, stop it. Don''t do it." Leon''s eyebrows knitted together and he spoke in a deep voice. Luka''s little face was cold and solemn as he put away the can and stood in front of Erin, looking at Jasmine with a wary face. "Ahhhhhh, little bastard,e here. I''ll beat you to death today!" Rage pulsed through her veins that she was about to storm out, throwing the clothes Rosalie had put it over her away and stalking viciously towards Luka. "Don''t hit Luka!" Erin poked her head out behind Luka and said with a sobbing voice. "Ha! Sure enough, a pair of inferior kids with inferior parents. I''ll teach you all a lesson today!" Jasmine was steaming and sputtered. "Auntie, if you scold me, you are scolding yourself because you are also in this family." Luka straightened her little body and stared at Jasmine undauntedly. Jasmine''s face twisted in anger. Looking at Luka''s face, which resembled Louis'', she pulled him with one hand and raised the other high. "Little bastard, you''ll be dead!" "Do you dare try to touch him?" The man''s low, cold voice rang out with boundless intimidation. Jasmine''s hand, which was about to fall, stopped. Luka took the opportunity to kick her again, and then pushed her away with force. "Ouch, little bastard, you ..." Jasmine trembled with rage and cursed, but when she saw Louis'' cold and stern eyes, she could only swallow her words. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. "Uncle Louis." Erin pounced on Louis as if she saw her savior when she heard his voice. Louis picked her up and lovingly wiped away her tears. "Don''t be afraid. With uncle around, no one dares bully you." "Uh-huh." Erin sobbed and hugged Louis'' neck tightly. Luka also ran to Louis and looked up at him. "Is everything okay?" Louis stroked his little head and asked. Luka straightened her little body and shook her head with a proud face. He just taught the bad aunt a lesson. She was the one who suffered! Louis looked softhearted, but when he looked up at Jasmine, his handsome face was as cold as ice. "Jasmine, there is a overseas project that needs a leader. I''m informing you as the president of the group, that you don''t need to go to thepany tomorrow. Go to the overseas branch directly." Jasmine wasining with Rosalie when she heard his words and looked at him sharply. "What? On what grounds do you want to send me overseas?" "Just because I''m the president of the Johnson Group!" Louis'' voice was cold, "You''re just a brutal, capricious and youngdy. I think you''ll need to go outside to temper yourself. Otherwise, sooner orter, you will destroy the Johnson Family''s reputation!" What he said was full of taunts to Jasmine. Jasmine, furious and frantic, nced at Leon who was frowning on the side but not helping her. "Dad, I''m not going overseas because I''m getting ready to get married!" Chapter 190 Chapter 190 Jasmine was ready to get married? Whom to marry? Isaac? But didn''t he already give Jasmine''s scandals to Violet? Could it be that Violet hadn''t had her showdown with Jasmine yet? Louis'' thin lips werepressed and his eyes were cold and sharp as he looked at Jasmine. He was pondering. While he was guessing wildly, Leon asked a question. "You''re getting married? Who? That Isaac who?" Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. "No, the person I''m marrying is Marcus Scott," said Jasmine. Leon was stunned and his face instantly became grim. "Jasmine, are you kidding me? Don''t you know the Scott family and we, the Johnson Family, are bitter rivals? Wasn''t there news two days ago that you were getting engaged to that civilian Isaac?" Hearing this, Jasmineined, "Dad, I was forced. Violet didn''t want me to marry Isaac, so Louis revealed my high school scandals to force me to separate with Isaac!" What she said made Leon''s brow furrowed and he looked at Louis. Louis asked Luka to take Erin to y and then looked at Jasmine. "You still have the nerve to mention this in front of dad? Is this the kind of thing a nobledy would do to sleep with a man using despicable methods? Only a whore will do that!" "You ..." Jasmine was criticized harshly that she almost passed out from anger. Louis ignored her twisted face and looked at Leon, "Dad, I don''t know what''s going on with Jasmine and Marcus. But if they marry, it must be Marcus''s plot. He''sing for the annexation of the Johnson Group. We have to be careful!" Marcus was a cunning person by nature and was used to making dirty tricks. Louis didn''t know when he and Jasmine hit it off! The youngdy of the Johnson Family was a mindless prize idiot, and was hooked by Marcus'' scheme! "What kind of conspiracy can Marcus have? Don''t be an rmist!" Jasmine red at him and then looked at Leon, "Dad, it''s true that our families have always been business rivals. But Marcus said there are no permanent enemies in the business, so why can''t we join forces and be dominators together?" "Yes! Leon, I also think it would be a good choice to join with the Scott family." Rosalie gave a nce at Louis, "Even if Marcus has any conspiracy, there is still Louis, right? He''s so powerful and won''t be afraid of Marcus''s conspiracy." What she said was a deliberate provocation! Louis coldly turned his lips upwards, "Rosalie, you don''t need to provoke me. I just want to remind you that Jasmine is your daughter. If she marry into the Scott family, in the future, if the two families have a conflict, she should be caught in the middle. Then how should she behave? Think about it yourself!" Later, of course, the Scott family will be used to drive him out of office! Rosalie stared at Louis'' back as he turned to leave, screaming inside. At that moment, Leon opened his mouth, "Louis is right. I will not agree to the marriage of the two families. You and Jasmine don''t make troubles." "Dad!" Jasmine was outraged and pulled at Rosalie, "Mom, look!" Rosalie patted her hand and gestured for her to remain calm. "Leon, do you still treat Jasmine as your daughter? You don''t want her to get married, and you want to drive her out of the country. Do you want to force us to death? Since you don''t like us so much, why don''t we just leave the family? Since thepany has been handed over to your eldest son, there is no ce for Jasmine and me in the family." Hearing this, Leon''s eyebrows twisted, "You''re talking rubbish again!" "Isn''t that so? You can go to the office and see who''s in charge now?" Rosalie said, "Jasmine is now apparently a manager, but she has to be subservient even when making a little decision." "Yes! Dad, why would I want to marry Marcus? I just want to find a support for myself! I know my brother doesn''t like me and my mom. I''m afraid that if this goes on, there won''t be room for me and my mom in the family." Jasmine interjected at a right time. They echoed each other, with weak and helpless looks. Leon''s brow knitted tighter. Chapter 191 Chapter 191 "You''re unreasonable! All right, you have to put away the idea of marrying Marcus. I''ll talk to your brother and send someone else to be in charge overseas." Leon finished and called out to Louis who was hugging Erin. Jasmine and Rosalie looked at each other and followed. "Louis, wait a minute," called Leon . "Dad, something else?" "I know you''re mad at Jasmine. She shouldn''t have done anything to Luka. But Luka also has something wrong with him. How can he disrespect his elders?" Leon nced at Luka and Erin, and spoke. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. Louis did not say anything, only the corners of his mouth turned upwards with mockery. Jasmine was brutal and self-willed for a reason. Her mother doted on her, and her father was not strict at her. It was impossible that her temperament can still be good. "Louis, no matter what, you and Jasmine are brother and sister, and need to get along. Well, for dad''s sake, let''s call it a day. I won''t approve of her tying to get married with Marcus. But she does have to be ready to marry, so don''t send her out of the country." Leon finished, and Louis did not want to argue with him. He gave a nce at Rosalie and Jasmine, who had followed him, and the corner of his mouth curled. "Dad, you''re right. Jasmine is a woman. Indeed, marriage is important for her. I won''t send her abroad anymore. And in thepany, I will also reduce the number of projects she is responsible for appropriately so that she can have more time to find a marriage partner of her choice." Weren''t you ready to get married? Yes! Then he can reduce her workload! Louis finished and walked towards the house with Erin and Luka. Behind her, Jasmine was so inmed. Louis was not throwing her out of the country, but to remove the power from her hands in a disguised way! He was an abominable bastard! In the kitchen, Violet finished making the kids'' meal and brought them to the dining room with satisfaction. Looking far away, she saw Louis returning with Erin in his arms. She didn''t know if it was just her misconception, but she didn''t think Erin was happy. What was going on here? Violet walked into the living room and pped her hands towards Erin. "Erin,e here." "Mommy." Erin called her and leaned into Violet''s arms. Violet noticed that her daughter''s eyes were red. Her face suddenly changed. "Erin, what''s wrong?" "Mommy, Erin identally bumped into an auntie and auntie scolded me and Luka. But both Luka and Louis taught her a lesson." Erin wrapped her arms around Violet''s neck and whispered. Violet frowned and was about to ask who the aunt was, when she saw Leon, Rosalie and Jasmine walk in. With a coat in her shoulders, Jasmine, whose hair was wet, was ring at her viciously. Needless to say, the person who scolded Erin must be Jasmine. Violetpressed her lips, thinking that today was the day the Johnsons were getting together for dinner. Then she regretted somewhat agreeing to stay with Maria. "Grandma, I''ve already made Luka''s dinner, so I''ll take Erin back first." Chapter 192 Chapter 192 Seeing that Violet was about to leave, Luka hastily pulled the hem of her clothes. "Violet, don''t go." The little one''s eyes were so bright, which made her feel sentimental. "Violet, when did you get so bashful? Put Erin down and have dinner with grandma before you leave." Maria rose, and her majestic tone sounded a touch displeased. Violet moved her lips, wanting to say something. At that moment, Louis reached out and took Erin from her and walked toward the dinning room. "Erin''s hungry, right? Eat with uncle Louis." Well, her daughter was more likeable than she was! "Violet, have a dinner with us." Luka took Violet''s hand and pulled her to the dinning room. Behind her, Jasmine watched the scene with a cold look. "Mom, I''m going to go upstairs and change before Ie down for dinner." "A family of disgust!" said Jasmine in her heart. Grace was such an idiot. How could she be so stupid! Can''t she defeat Violet by now? Jasmine secretly took a photo of them and then went upstairs to send a message to Grace. "Grace, why are you so stupid? Look at her! She''s trying to get into the house again! I want you to find a way to fix Violet so she can''t stay in Crotosi. You understand me?" She''d got to take advantage of this dumb-ass! Let Grace to deal with Violet! After all, Violet was kind of a rival in love for Grace! Grace would want to get rid of Violet too! "Okay, I''ll try." Grace returned a message, and Jasmine smiled in satisfaction. On the other end of the phone, Grace looked at the words and threw the phone aside as soon as she could. Smart-ass woman! Violet dared steal her man? Let''s wait and see! Balridge Manor''s dinning room. Rosalie looked at Erin who was sitting next to Louis,with a twinkle in her eye. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. This was Violet''s daughter, right? She looked quite simr to Louis! "Violet, what is this child''s rtionship with you? Why does she call you mommy?" Rosalie asked deliberately. Violet''s hand was holding a bowl and she said in a soft voice, "She is my daughter." "Your daughter? You actually have a daughter at this age?" Rosalie acted surprisingly, "Violet, when you married, you didn''t say you had a child! How can you pretend to be a virgin? That''s outrageous!" Violet knew she would be asked the question, and was about to answer when a man''s faint voice came from the side. "Rosalie, there''s no need to be rmed. Be careful not to scare the children. I have already known and I don''t want to investigate more." Rosalie choked and looked at Louis feeding Erin soup and said sarcastically, "Louis, you''re so big- hearted. You can even put up with this kind of thing. You''re still nning to remarry Violet?" Remarry Violet? Louis stopped feeding and gave Violet a nomittal look. Rosalie''s face changed when she saw that he did not look like he was denying it. "Louis, it''s not good if you really have such a thought. After all, after the news about you and Grace, you have always been a man of deep love in the eyes of the public. If you suddenly remarry Violet, you will break your promise" She still waited to see how these two got mocked. How can they remarry!? "Rosalie, even if Violet and I remarry, there would be nothing wrong with that." Louis looked at Violet, "She''s my woman too. I follow my heart and pursue my true love, can''t I?" The man''s eyes were dark and bright, and his handsome face was with a smile. Violet''s heart suddenly missed a beat. Follow his heart and pursue true love!? Was she the true love of his life? No! He should just use her as a way to deal with Rosalie. It had nothing to do with his heart. Chapter 193 Chapter 193 He had said he didn''t like her! "Louis, you''re so great! You don''t care that Violet cheated on you. And you don''t care she had a baby before. You really have a unique taste." Jasmine changed her clothes and came down to her seat, retorting grimly. Louis nced at her coldly, "Mind your own business. Don''t be cheated and still believe the one who deceives you." "You ..." "Enough! I asked you toe to eat with me, not to scold each other!" Maria spoke majestically. Jasmine reluctantly swallowed the rest of her words and red at Violet. Violet ignored her re, saw Louis who was taking care of her daughter. She thought about it, and ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. helped take care of Luka. The two kids sat in the middle, and on either side of them sat Louis and Violet. Maria in the main seat watched the scene and nodded with gratification. They looked like a family! She hoped her grandson would make her proud of him and remarry Violet soon! After the dinner, Violet was ready to say goodbye. "Violet, from now on, don''t restrain Erin. If you''re busy, let Luka take Erin back to Balridge Manor. I''ll take care of her for you." Maria said with a smirk. Violet smiled and didn''t say anything more. "Grandma, we''re leaving then. Erin, say goodbye to great-grandmother!" "Great-grandmother goodbye. Luka, see you tomorrow, and see you all." Erin was polite and said goodbye to them. Luka waved her hand and looked at Violet with some reluctance. Violet looked delighted and stroked his head, "Luka, see you." "I''ll walk you out." Louis hugged Erin and stepped forward. "Mr. Johnson, there''s no need. I drove my car here." "I''ll walk you out of Balridge Manor." Louis still hugged Erin and moved forward slowly. Violet followed in a hurry. Night had long fallen, and the sky was glittering with stars. The lights in Balridge Manor came on to illuminate the road ahead. The man''s figure was tall and erect, and the light stretched his shadow. Violet was in a bit of a trance, and inexplicably had the illusion of having finished her meal and gone home with her husband and daughter. No! What was she thinking about? "Uncle Louis, do you like my mommy? Do you want her to marry you?" Her daughter asked a sudden question. Violet froze and looked at the little person being held in his arms. This kid, again, was going to say something amazing! "Erin, do you want me to marry your mommy?" Louis raised an eyebrow, somewhat intrigued. "Well, think about it. If you marry my mommy, I can call you daddy!" Erin bent her little head and spoke in a cute voice. "Erin!" Violet was speechless and called out in a hurry. Erin spit out her little tongue and hugged Louis'' neck, blinking her big eyes. Seeing that they had arrived at the parking ce, Violet took the little one from Louis'' hand. "Mr. Johnson, she doesn''t know anything. Don''t take it seriously." "What if I take it seriously?" Louis looked at Violet. His dark eyes were extraordinarily bright at night. Violet carried Erin into her car and closed the door. She looked at Louis and said seriously, "Mr. Johnson, I''m a simple person. I don''t want to go through anotherplicated marriage. As I said, I won''t marry again in my life. I just want to raise my daughter well." He was in charge of the Johnson Family, whose status was too distinctive from her own. His mind was also too difficult to figure out. If she could, she would keep her distance from him. Chapter 194 Chapter 194 Looking into Violet''s bright eyes, Louis'' face went cold. He thought she would have different feelings for him after the experience in the woods. But it turned out that everything was his wishful thinking. Still, she made up her mind that she didn''t want to have any connection to him. This woman was really indifferent! "Mr. Johnson, I''ll leave you to it. Please go back." Violet opened the car door and sat on it. Again, she looked at his unhappy face and started the car. Erin''s little face in the back was pressed against the window, and she was waving her hand towards Louis. "See you, uncle Louis!" Violet took the steering wheel and said, "Erin, sit down." ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. The little one withdrew her gaze and looked at the back of Violet''s head, "Mommy, don''t you like uncle Louis? He''s so great and will protect us!" She was already a fan of Louis. Violet curled her lips and didn''t answer, but changed the topic. "Erin, tell mommy again what happened when you met that bad aunt today?" "Here''s the thing ..." Erin''s thought was drawn away and she began to tell the story one by one. The little one spoke clearly and imitated Jasmine''s way of speech vividly. Violet listened carefully and frowned when she heard Jasmine''s remark that described Erin and Luka as inferior people. Why did that sound so strange? It was as if Luka and Erin were both born by her. Was it Jasmine''s slip of the tongue? Because she and Luka were congenial each other, Jasmine deliberately scolded Luka like this? "Mommy, are you sure you don''t like Louis? I like him so much." With the little one''s questioning voice ringing in her ears, Violet looked back andughed dumbly. "Little cute, in this world, I only like you." "Mommy, I like you too." In Balridge Manor. Leon, Rosalie and Jasmine also left the dinning room. Jasmine pulled Rosalie behind Leon, with anger. "Mom, as you can see, dad doesn''t approve of my marriage to the Scott family. Are we just going to keep being overpowered by Louis?" Rosalie''s face didn''t look any better. She was silent and said softly "Jasmine, if you really want to marry Marcus, then why don''t you just get pregnant? When the timees, your father will have to agree even if he doesn''t!" Pregnant?! Jasmine''s eyes lit up as she looked at Louis, who had returned after sending Violet out, with a twinkle in her eye. Yes, let''s do that! She must marry Marcus! So that the Scott family can help her punish Louis! "What are you muttering about again? Hurry up and get in the car." Leon gestured for Rosalie and Jasmine to get in the car. Jasmine red at Louis and pulled Rosalie into the car. The car made a U turn and left, leaving Louis whose dark eyes narrowed. Pulling out his cell phone, he dialed Harry''s number. "Harry, check out the recent movements of Marcus." He wondered when Marcus had gotten involved with Jasmine. What the hell did he want!? Chapter 195 Chapter 195 Josie''s apartment. After Violet helped the little one get a bath and tucked her in bed, she began questioning Josie. "Josie, tell me honestly. What the hell have you been doing this afternoon?" Josie was looking at aputer screen at the moment, and put up the full recording of the conversation with Jessie, just waiting to see the reversal. Hearing Violet''s question, she scratched her hair and smiled awkwardly, "Will you surprise if I say I slept with Austin this afternoon?" What!? Violet''s eyes widened, "No wonder you sounded like you''ve just woken up when I called you. Come on, what the hell is going on here?" "It''s because of Jessie." Josie told her what happened. Violet wrinkled her brows and shook her head speechlessly. "Jessie''s really vicious. She pretends to be innocent in front of others, but malicious in private. Her title of movie queen is well deserved." "No! Of all the people I know, she and Jasmine are the examples of being mean and shameless. They should set each other up one day!" Josie cursed bitterly, and Violet blinked, thoughtful. It was time to teach the two malevolent women another lessons. "What does Austin mean? He just liked the post I made." Josie browsed what she had posted and raised her eyebrows. Because it involved Jessie, her post was quickly on the hot-search ranking as soon as it was uploaded. Now theizens had transitioned from scolding her to cursing Jessie for being shameless. "So the post Jessie made earlier is just taken out of context?" "Isn''t it? She''s ying us all like idiots!" "This woman is shameless. She''s a mistress who takes way others'' husband by force. She''s married and still restless, and seduces David !" "It''s not easy to change people''s nature! Jessie is a wanton woman!" "I suddenly fell in love with Josie! She is so frank! I be a fan of her!" "Yes, I also envy her friendship with Helena. She approached her ex-husband for her bosom friend!" Looking at thements of theizens, Josie''s face was full of smiles. And Jessie''s fans started to unfollow her, while David''s fans constantly cursing her. "How satisfying! If I don''t get mad, does she really think I''m weak?" On the side, Violet was also browsing the web. She grabbed Josie and said, "Josie, next time don''t do anything dangerous. You did teach Jessie a lesson this time, but you were almost in danger too. You said if Austin hasn''t shown up, you would have? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. been in trouble." At that moment, Josie smiled cheekily, "Don''t worry about it. It''s all right this time. That means I''m lucky." Violet thought about it and said, "What about Austin? He slept with you and just walked away?" Although her bosom friend did not want to marry again after divorce, she still hoped Josie can find her own happiness. Austin''s family was noble, and he also looked good. If the two ... "What? We''re all adults. Let''s just consider it a game." Josie got up and yawned, "Well, a big show is over. I''m going to sleep. Good night, Violet." "Good night." Violetpressed her lips and turned off herputer. Meanwhile, Jessie in the apartment saw the news and mmed herputer straight down. She didn''t expect Josie toe to meet her with a recorder by her side. What was more, she didn''t anticipate that the men she arranged didn''t seed and Josie was finally saved by Austin. Austin was his brother-inw candidate, and he actually slept with Josie!? How can she tell her sister? Josie, the bitch, was the Shaws'' bane! The door was opened and Oscar walked in with a livid face. "Jessie, you really make me sick. I''m going to divorce with you!" Chapter 196 Chapter 196 Hearing Oscar''s words, Jessie''s face twisted for a moment. "I make you feel sick? Oscar, you''re just an old man. I''m so young and pretty, but married to a scumbag!" "You call me scumbag? It was you who pretended to be pregnant and begged me to marry you. I was so horny at that time! Divorce, go get a divorce tomorrow!" Oscar snarled with a look of rage. Jessie''s face paled for a moment. It took quite a while before she barely calmed down. "Oscar, do you really want to divorce? Don''t forget, you are now tied to my interests. If you want to divorce, we''ll both suffer. You have finished two-thirds of the movie, and if we divorce, you''ll lose everything." Hearing these words, Oscar''s agitated look slowly calmed down. But his face remained nched. He now regretted his divorce with Josie and married this woman instead. Josie adored him and loved him with all her heart. But what about Jessie? She just loved the resources and status he brought to her. Now she was almost cheating on him! If he did not divorce with her, sooner orter, she would surely cheat on him. But if he did leave, it wouldn''t be good for his career. At least now, he can not leave. He had to finish the scenes before leaving. With this in mind, Oscar said coldly, "You made this happen. What do you think we should do?" Seeing that Oscar''s thought started to waver, she straightened her hair around her ear. "Of course we''ll make a statement together." "What statement?" "A statement that we''re a loving couple." Jessie took out her cell phone, "I''ll have my agent start on it right away. I''ll show you when she''s done drafting." Oscar didn''t say anything and prepared to leave with an ashy face. "Oscar." Jessie stepped forward and hugged his waist, "Oscar, what I just said, I didn''t mean it. In my heart, you''re always the man I love the most, otherwise I wouldn''t marry you with the bad name of being a mistress in the first ce." She had to coax this man, and can''t let Josie get away with it! Oscar smiled coldly and broke her hands. "Hurry up and deal with the news." The man she loved most? He didn''t believe a word she said! The door was closed, and Jessie''s face didn''t look good. Taking a deep breath, she called her agent. Let''s get the news out of the way first, then she can deal with Josieter! ... The following day. Jessie''s studio issued a statement. The statement was about Jessie and Oscar''s remarks. First of all, Jessie apologized to the public, iming that she did something wrong because she was muddled in the moment. But when it came to their rtionship, she was truly in love with Oscar. Please give her a chance and stop denigrating her. Then came Oscar''s words. He said he and Jessie were both imperfect people who chose to be together in spite of others'' opinions. Since they loved each other, they will tolerate everything about each other. He loved Jessie and believed in her true feelings for him. Jessie was still too young and spoiled by him, so it was inevitable that she acted and spoke impulsively and without regard to the consequences. But she sometimes just mouthed some angry words and didn''t mean it. Everything she did was because she loved him and she asked for forgiveness for her childish behavior. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Violet and Josie woke up and saw this statement. They couldn''t help butugh out loud. "What a pair of hypocritical couple! They even take this opportunity to gain sympathy," said Violet. "Anyway, I didn''t expect anything bad to happen to Jessie with this recording. I just wanted to teach her a lesson for you. But it''s also true that Jessie''s poprity has gone down the drain because of it." Josie tossed her phone aside and went to get Erin up. Violet smiled and felt warm in her heart. It was nice to have a bosom friend by her side. Chapter 197 Chapter 197 After Violet drove her daughter to school, she took time to go to the dry cleaner. She had to return Marcus''s clothes to him. After getting the clothes and driving to the Pce Hotel, her cell phone rang. It was from an unknown number. She picked up and a polite female voice came from the receiver. "Hello, is this Miss Helena? I''m a faculty member of Greenville Community College. Our school offers a beauty course and would like to work with your studio. I was wondering if you are interested in it?" Hearing this, Violet''s eyes lit up. Greenville Community College was a localmunity college in Crotosi City, and she had tried to talk to the school before. However, institutions like this one generally had long-term and regr partners. So it was not her turn before. She didn''t expect the school to send an invitation of its own ord this time. "Yes, of course." "Okay, Miss Helena, pleasee to the school next Monday at 10 a.m. for the discussion about the cooperation." "Okay, thank you." Violet hung up the phone and looked happy. Thanks to Sunlite Model Contest, she became famous. It looked like she can expand her business! However, it seemed that Greenville Community College was owned by the Scott Group. And the Scott family and the Johnson Family were business rivals! Violetpressed her lips and let out a breath. She had nothing to do with the Johnson family anymore, so there was no way she was going to push away the business that came to her door! There was an opportunity and she had to seize it! "Violet?" A man''s voice came from behind. Violet looked back and saw Marcusing out of an elevator. Just as well, she didn''t have to call him on phone. "Mr. Scott, your coat has been dry cleaned." Violet handed Marcus his clothes. Marcus raised an eyebrow and deliberately touched Violet''s hand as he reached out to take it. Violet frowned and subconsciously took a step back. Someone just happened to pass behind her and she was bumped. "Be careful." Marcus reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist. Violet froze, identally made a eye contact with him, and felt a pang of revulsion in her heart. She was about to push him away when a woman''s voice came from not far away. "Mr. Scott, Miss Elliott?" Violet looked up and saw Grace walking quickly towards them. Grace didn''t expect to see this scene right after she got to work, and immediately looked at Violet with a cold look. Violet pushed Marcus away and straightened her clothes. With a nce, she noticed Grace''s hostile gaze. Violetpressed her lips and looked to Marcus, "Mr. Scott, the clothes is back to you, so I''ll leave now." It was normal for Grace to be hostile to her. But today she thought it strange. It was like, she stole her man. But the person just now was not Louis! Violet blinked, walked to a corner, and subconsciously nced back. Behind her, Grace said something to Marcus while patting the dust on his shoulder. Her action was so skillful and intimate! Did every hotel manager treat customers with such enthusiasm? "Helena!" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. The sudden sound of a man''s voice startled her. She turned around and saw David smiling as he walked over to her and following her line of sight. Chapter 198 Chapter 198 "David," greeted Violet. "What were you looking at?" David withdrew his gaze. "Nothing." Violet turned around again and Grace and Marcus were gone. "Helena, today is my birthday. The crew is going to throw me a small birthday party tonight. Come over and have some fun." Today was David''s birthday? Violet froze, "Tonight ..." She actually preferred to stay home with her daughter. "Don''t wannae? Is it because you don''t consider me a friend?" David looked at Violet with displeasure. "No!" Violet denied it in a hurry. "Then it''s a deal." David made the decision for her. At that moment, he saw Louis enter the hotel from a VIP passage with Harry behind him, and immediately greeted Louis with a smile. "Louis, are you here to visit me?" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Louis stood in front of him, his eyes sweeping over him and Violet, "Do I look I''m free?" It was Louis who came over to see his ex-wife some time ago under the guise of visiting David. "Understood. The person you want to see is not there anymore. You really don''t have that much time." David nced at Violet meaningfully. Violet was a little uneasy, "David, I got things to do. Bye." "Okay,e early tonight." David waited for Violet to leave and looked to Louis. "Louis, I think I saw Marcus just now. He was apanied by Grace. I remember the Scott family also runs a hotel. Is he here to spy on you?" Louis'' dark eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth was turned upwards. The Scott family and the Johnson family were business rivals andpetitors in several traditional industries. The hospitality industry was no exception. Harry had checked Marcus'' whereabouts during this time and indeed he had been staying at the Pce Hotel. So today, he came to meet him on purpose. "If you''ll excuse me." Louis spoke up and prepared to go to the housekeeping department. "Louis,e and have a piece of cake tonight!" David smiled and extended an invitation. Louis'' footsteps paused, "If I have a time." Still, he had a haughty look. David raised an eyebrow, and was certain that he woulde tonight. After all, his ex-wife would be here! A hotel suite. Grace, half-dressed, dodged Marcus'' kiss and asked petntly, "Marcus, why does Violet have your coat? You just hugged her. You don''t have a crush on her, do you?" Hearing this, Marcus reached out and cupped her chin, "You''re jealous? Don''t worry. I don''t like her." But he was just teasing her. After all, Louis had slept with Violet. "Okay." Grace smiled coquettishly and took the initiative to kiss him. Marcus put his arm around her, "Violet has promised she''ll go to Greenville on Monday." "That''s good. Just wait for the good show." Grace''s hand touched his body restlessly, smiling delicately. "Babe." Marcus gave a grin and threw away the clothes she was wearing. Grace had an obsequious smile on her face and was trying to cater to the man to get to the point, when the doorbell rang. The two stopped, and surprise shed in each other''s eyes. "Marcus, do you order food?" "How could I possibly order with you around?" Marcus put on his coat and went to the door to look at it. When he saw Louis and several executives standing at the door, his face suddenly changed. Chapter 199 Chapter 199 "Marcus, who is outside?" Grace wanted to know who wasing, but Marcus covered his mouth. "Don''t make a sound. It''s Louis." Louis was here! Grace''s eyes were wide open and full of panic. "Marcus, so what do we do now?" She thought they were finished. How did Louis get here!? If he saw her in Marcus'' room, wouldn''t that make him suspicious of her? "What''s the panic?" Marcus let go of her and straightened her clothes for her. Thinking of something, he curled his lips, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. Then he pulled Grace''s arm and burned it directly on it with the cigarette. "Ah!" With a scream, Grace flung Marcus away, nching with pain. She looked at Marcus with a frightened and unsure face. "Pretend to cry and show weakness." Marcus opened the door after a few more impatient knocks. Grace covered her arm and cold sweats broke out on her forehead. Now she realized that Marcus was telling her to pretend to be bullied by him so that she could muddle through. No need to pretend, she was already in pain with tears in her eyes. Louis, of course, heard Grace''s scream. His cold and sharp eyes swept over Marcus and then back to Grace. "Louis." Grace bit her lower lip, pretending to be extremely stoic. Then she covered her arm and walked quickly to Louis'' side. Louis nced at her, pulled her hand away, and saw her arm where had been burned by cigarette. "Mr. Scott, aren''t you going to exin?" Marcus sat down on a couch and poured himself a ss of wine. "Mr. Johnson, I heard that the housekeeping manager gave birth to a son for you four years ago! She is a bit insensitive. I just let her apany me for a while. I did not force her to do anything. Why pretend to be self-contained?" Hearing this, Louis smiled coldly, "Mr. Scott is still as vicious as ever. In view of the fact that you hurt my staff, do you want me to call the police to deal with it, or leave automatically?" Marcus put down his ss and got up, "Mr. Johnson cares so much about her? You actually want to call the police to deal with? All right, I''m tired of living here anyway, so I''m leaving." "Ivan, tell the staff that Marcus and the dog are not allowed to get in the hotel in the future." Louis instructed in a cold voice, then took Grace with him and turned to leave. "Louis!" Marcus grimaced, red at Louis'' back and kicked the couch. How dared he humiliate him like that?! Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. They would see! Let''s see how he would fix him! Outside, Louis took Grace to his office and asked Ivan to bring a medicine cab. "Has Marcus been harassing you all this time?" Grace''s eyes flickered and she dropped her eyes slightly without speaking. Louis took the medicine box that Ivan brought and administered the medicine to Grace. "The Scott family and the Johnson family are deadly rivals, so be careful and avoid Marcus in the future." Marcus would have set his eyes on Grace and should have something to do with him. It was kind of like he got her involved. "I got it." Grace felt a little bit relieved. Marcus just used this move of bitterness to dispel Louis''s doubt about her. On the other side, the hotel restaurant. Instead of rushing back, Violet wanted to take the opportunity to hear people''sments about the Tasty Interlude Bakery and see if she can improve it. "Hey, have you heard? Mr. Johnson just came to visit. It is said that he gave an order for Grace, the manager of the housekeeping department, saying that Marcus and dogs are not allowed to enter in the future!" "I heard about it too! Marcus is the eldest son of the Scott Group. It seems he hurt Manager Grace before Mr. Johnson gave the order." "It seems that Mr. Johnson likes Grace very much! The two of them already have a son, so maybe they''re getting close!" Chapter 200 Chapter 200 The sound of several employees talking came to her ears. Violet''s footsteps paused and her red lips werepressed. The Pce Hotel was a six-star hotel with a consistently good reputation. Customer was God. No matter how unreasonable guests were, they would not kick guests out from the hotel. And now, Louis was personally driving people away, which showed the importance he attached to Grace. The words he said to herst night in Balridge Manor shed through her mind. Thanks to this, she still felt a little sorry for Louis. Men were just untrustworthy! So, she must keep her heart and not fall easily! Violet took a deep breath and suppressed a little difort inside. Thinking about Grace, she pondered. Grace was hurt by Marcus? But just now she clearly saw the two get along quite harmoniously. How did Marcus hurt her? Forgot it. It was none of her business. So why should she worry about it? Violet shook her head and prepared to find some dessert-loving customers to do a market research. Then she heard someone was talking. "Anthony, you have to listen to me. Eat more and you can grow taller and more handsome." "No, no, it''s awful!" "How can it be awful? Mommy has tasted it. It tastes good." "It''s awful. I don''t want to eat it!" Not far from the window, an elegantly dressed mother was patiently coaxing her three or four-year-old child to eat. And the child kept pushing away the spoon handed to him by her mother. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. There was a head chef standing by their table, also coaxing the child to eat. The child still refused to eat, and the mother was helpless. "Aren''t we in a six-star hotel? Is the best meal you can serve? Go make me a new one again. Make sure my son will eat." "Madam, this is already your third meal. I really can''t do anything about it, or you''d better ask another person." The head chef was also helpless and replied. "What are you talking about? Is this a disguised attempt to drive me away? Pce Hotel is the number one hotel in Crotosi City. It turns out that the rumors are all true." The mother was sullen and said nonchntly. Violet blinked and walked over in a hurry. "Thisdy, please don''t be anxious. Please wait for a moment. We will immediately prepare a new one for the little gentleman." Louis was a scum, but he at least helped her. Let''s see if she can repay him once. "Thisdy, why did you say so? That kid is so picky. I just can''t get him to eat even if I make ten more." The head chef was pulled away by Violet and frowned. Violet curled her lips, "Don''t worry. Let me make a meal for him." He was a kid too and he should like the food she made, right? Violet went to the kitchen and quickly made a meal and brought it to the dining room. The little picky eater was interested when he saw the patterned rice. "Mommy, I want to eat." Hearing this, the nobledy brightened up and hurriedly fed her child. The little one liked it very much and finished the meal quickly. The nobledy was delighted and looked at Violet with admiration in her eyes. "Are you the hotel manager here? Did you make this meal?" Hearing this, Violetughed and said, "Ma''am, I made the meal, but I''m not the hotel manager here. I''m just a customer, just like you." "Oh! Can I ask you to sit down for a moment?" Chapter 201 Chapter 201 The nobledy was enthusiastic. "Okay." Violet smiled and gestured for the waiter to bring over a few desserts. "Thisdy, you''re so good at cocking. May I make a request of how to cock?" said the nobledy. "Of course." Violet scooped up a small cake and handed it to the little one''s mouth with a smile. The little one blinked and opened his mouth. "That''s good." "You''re pretty." "Cute little is so sweet." Watching the interaction between the two, the nobledy''s eyes were filled withughter. "Thisdy, it seems that my son likes you a lot. Can you teach me how to cook this kind of meal?" N?velDrama.Org holds this content. "Sure." Violet agreed and taught the nobledy her cooking tips. She listened carefully, and did not forget to ask the waiter for a paper and pen to write down some details. "My son is a picky eater. My husband and I worry most about how to get him to eat every day. Now it''s good, with your guidance, maybe my son''s picky eating problem will be cured in the future." She looked grateful and Violetughed,"I''m d I could help you too." "Then can we leave each other phone number? Maybe I''ll have to ask you to guide me more in the future." "It''s okay. I don''t dare point it out. We are all mothers, and we canmunicate with each other." Violet smiled and pulled out her cell phone, and the two left each other a phone number. "So Miss Elliott is also a mother? No wonder you can cook this kind of child meal." The nobledy looked surprised, "But you are also too young. Unlike me, I''m almost forty and had a hard time getting this child." "You don''t look like you''re forty. If you didn''t say so, I only thought you''re under thirty." "Miss Elliott, you are sweet too." "Just call me Violet." "Then you can call me Bianca." The two hit it off and Violet invited thedy to try the pastry and asked how it tasted. The two started talking about beauty and food again. And they did not separate until the child could not sit down anymore. In the hotel office, Louis was looking at documents. Harry pushed the door in. "Mr. Johnson, just got words that Mr. Wood and Mrs. Wood have arrived in Crotosi City early and have begun their expedition. Just now, Rex Wood''s wife apanied their child to lunch at our Pce Hotel. Rex went to meet the patriarch of the Scott family, Deacon Scott." Hearing these words, Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly. The Rex''s Group was a multinational group with a wide range of businesses. One of the group''s auction houses was known as Ace Enterprises. Rex came to Crotosi City with the intention of finding a long-term hotel partner. If a hotel was selected, then all future auctions in the country by the Rex''s Group will take ce in the selected hotel. "Mr. Johnson, just now Rex''s wife Bianca Servello was dining at the Pce Hotel with her son and ran into Miss Elliott. She cooked a special lunch for Bianca to let her picky eater son have it. " Harry reported, "Bianca and Miss Elliott seem to have a good rapport. If Miss Elliott is willing to help out and connect us with Mr. and Mrs. Wood, maybe the Rex''s Group will consider working with us first." Hearing these words, Louis'' eyes moved slightly. The Johnson Group wanted to take down the business of the Rex''s Group. And the biggestpetitor was the Scott Group. If someone can help, that was certainly a good thing. Just ... "So, you think the executives of the Johnson Group are even worse than a woman? Order it down, within three days, I want to see the most perfect n!" He didn''t care to rely on women! Winning by strength was the real skill! Chapter 202 Chapter 202 Learning of David''s birthday, Violet left the hotel with the intention of going to buy him a present. It was the first time she bought a gift for a big star, and she didn''t know what to buy. Violet thought about it and made a phone call to Josie. "Josie, David invited me to his birthday party. What kind of gift do you think I should buy for him?" "A birthday gift? Why don''t youe to Rainbow Shopping Mall? I''m here. I''ll help you." "Okay." Knowing that Josie was looking for a suitable location for her own store, Violet dly went there. "Violet, here." Josie waved at Violet from a store immediately in front of the mall. Violet smiled and walked over, "Did you find the store you want?" ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. "Well, here it is. Nice location, right?" "Nice." Violet sized up the store and said, "Josie, what should I buy? David is not an ordinary person. He also helped me. If it is too cheap, I can not give away. If too expensive, I can not afford." "Let me think about it. How about a tie! A token of appreciation, and upscale." Josie thought about it and made a suggestion. Violet thought it made sense, and they went into the mall to buy a tie. They came across Ciara who was justing out of the mall. She carried her bag and looked at Josie with contempt. When Josie crossed over to her, she cursed, "Bitch, shame on you!" Josie''s footsteps stopped and she looked back at her, "Who are you cursing?" "You''re the one I''m cursing!" Ciara had a spiteful face, "Josie, why are you so despicable? Deliberately seduce my brother-inw. You make my sister quarrel with him. You are despicable." Was she despicable? Who in the end was despicable? Josie looked at Ciara and smiled abruptly, "Ciara, didn''t your sister tell you? Whom I metter at the clubhouse?" The recording she posted online only contained Jessie''s admission that she let Violet have a diarrhea. What happenedter in the clubhouse, she certainly was not foolish enough to let peopleugh at her. But what others didn''t know was something that Jessie certainly knew. After all, it was Jessie who ordered the three men, and she would certainly ask them afterwards if they seeded or not. The three men must have told her that Austin came in and saved her. It seemed that Jessie didn''t tell Ciara that she had sex with Austin. "Whom did you meet?" Ciara was unsure and asked dismissively. "I met Austin! Then I slept with him!" Josie smiled openly and brightly. Ciara''s facial expression changed for a moment, "You''re talking nonsense!" "If you don''t believe me, you can ask him!" Josie fixed her hair around her ears and spotted Austin walking towards them. The leading role was here! Josie raised an eyebrow and smiled brightly at him, "Hi, Mr. Evison, we meet again! Take your time. We¡¯ll leave first." After saying that, she took Violet''s arm tightly and went into the mall. "Josie, don''t go." Ciara was furious and looked at Austin, "Austin, Josie just said that she slept with you yesterday. Is that true?" Josie actually said this to Ciara? Was this woman provoking or what? Austin raised his eyebrows slightly, then said in a light voice, "Yes, if you mind, we can stop dating." Ciara didn¡¯t know what to say at the moment. Austin was one of the best men in Crotosi City, and she was looking forward to marrying him! Josie the bitch, how can she get her hands on her man!? At the mall, Violet looked at Josie''s side and asked with concern, "Josie, are you okay?" "Do I look like I¡¯m not okay?" Josie said disapprovingly, "The Shaws are no good. I just said that on purpose to make Ciara feel bad. It''s just a pity that Austin has such poor eyesight. Why does he date with Ciara?" Why? Austin was a good guy with no vision. And it was also too irresponsible. He slept with Josie, but took it as never happened! Violet sighed in her heart and went into a counter with Josie to choose a tie. Chapter 203 Chapter 203 Nightfall. Imperial Club. Arge private room on the second floor. The colorful lights and shadow rendered a lively atmosphere. David walked up beside Austin with his ss of wine and looked at Ciara who was talking with some women. "Austin, is she your girlfriend? nning to get married?" Austin sipped his wine and smiled helplessly, "No way, my family urged me to get married." They were all noblemen. Sometimes they couldn''t make their own decisions. Marriage and profit will always be tied together. "It''s also a rush to get married. Hey, it''s all the same." David clinked sses with him with a look of empathy. Looking at the time, he looked towards the door, "Louis isn''t here yet, and neither is Helena. So it looks like I have to do something again!" He had to work hard for them. And he had to make an excuse for the man who said yes and meant no to pick up her! The Johnson Group. Louis was still working. The phone rang. Without looking up, he took the phone and looked at it. "Louis, have you left thepany yet? If not, go and pick Violet up. She''s not familiar with the people here. She''ll be ufortableing alone." Seeing David''s message, Louis'' eyes moved and the corners of his mouth hooked up slightly. The long fingers typed down a line, "You are quite good at thinking of her." "Tell me, who am I really looking out for?" David sent another message over. Louispressed his lips and didn''t return. He looked at the time, fell silent, and dialed Violet''s number. At this point, Violet was just getting into her car and getting ready to go. Seeing that it was Louis'' calling, she blinked and picked up the phone. "Hi, Mr. Johnson." Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. "Where are you? Come to the Group." He wanted her to go to the Group? Violet was a little surprised, "Mr. Johnson, is something wrong?" "I''m going to David''s birthday party and I''mcking a driver." So, he asked her to drive him to David''s birthday party? Violet was not too happy to be alone with him. "Mr. Johnson, you should have a driver, right?" "He had other arrangements." "What about Harry?" "He''s busy." So, he can''t take a taxi or call anyone else either! "Okay, wait for me. I''ll be right over." He was at least her life saver, and they will meet at the birthday partyter anyway. In order not to be embarrassed, she couldn''t refuse it any further. On the other end of the phone, Louis smiled slightly, put the phone down and went back to work. He waited until Violet called him. He grabbed his belongings and headed out of the office. On the side of the road, Violet got out of the car and waited for Louis toe over. Under the lights, the woman''s long hair draped over her shoulders and she was wearing a white dress. The skirt hemline gently flied in the wind, full of charm. Louis paused slightly in his steps, and his dark eyes fixed on her. Today she wore light makeup. It looked very beautiful! "Mr. Johnson, wouldn''t you mind taking my car?" Violet dutifully did her part as a driver and pulled the door open for Louis. Louis returned to his senses and went straight to the driver''s side. Didn''t he say that he was the one whocked a driver? She was not short of drivers! Chapter 204 Chapter 204 "Not getting in?" See that Violet was standing and in a daze, Louis raised an eyebrow and asked. Violet opened her mouth, but eventually said nothing and got into the passenger seat. Louis was fastening his seat belt when he saw the gift bag with the tie in the back seat. Louis'' dark eyes narrowed, "You bought David a present?" "Yes." "How much did it cost?" "Tens of thousands, I think." Tens of thousands!? Louis nced at Violet and his eyes were cool. "You are quite generous to him." She was not! But David was a big star and had helped her for several times. If the gift was too cheap, she dared not send it out. "David is nice and has helped me out a few times, so Josie suggested I should send him a tie." Violet answered truthfully. Louisughed, "Violet, I''ve helped you more than once too. I''m still your savior. Why don''t you send me a gift?" David helped her and she gave him such a nice gift. He also helped her, and almost lost his life. How came she didn''t give him a gift? Violet blinked, "Mr. Johnson, you''re from a distinguished family. You have everything you need. You shouldn''tck anything." "You mean that David is just missing something?" "Uh, no. Okay, so what do you want?" Violet was a little speechless. Why was Louis acting like a child today and asking for gifts? "Violet, you just directly ask me what I want. You could have been a little less heartfelt." Louis taunted and started the car. Violet touched her nose and gave a nce at the man''s cold side face. Was he jealous? No, no, she''d better not get carried away with her thoughts. She could not guess Louis'' mind. Imperial Club. Jessie pulled Ciara to sit in a corner.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Looking at her sister with a resigned look, she patted her hand. "Well, don''t cry. Austin and Josie just slept together once, right? Bear with it. As long as Austin marries you, you are the wife of the Evison family in the future. Your status will be higher than Josie. Are you still afraid of not having an opportunity to cause her trouble?" Hearing what she said, Ciara looked indignant. " I can''t tolerate this! Josie is a whore, and I feel like Austin is hooked up with her." Austin had been always indifferent to her. Did he like Josie? This kind of slutty bitch? "Ciara, men are creatures who think with their reproductive organs. Don''t be too reserved with him. Find an opportunity to sleep with him first, so that his heart will definitely be enchanted by you. After all, you are not like Josie. She is a whore. And you are a virgin! You know, a man like Austin must care a lot about a woman''s first time." Jessie gave Ciara a suggestion. Ciara nodded with shyness shing across her face upon hearing this. Jessie was a veteran. What she said should be right. She should find a right time to let Austin have a sex with her. By then he would think she was hundreds of times better than Josie. At that moment, the door of the private room was pushed open and Violet and Louis walked in. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was petite and gorgeous. As soon as they entered the room, they attracted the attention of all the crowd. Jessie and Ciara looked toward them with coldness in their eyes. In their opinion, Violet was mean as Josie! At the door, David saw the two finally arrive and greeted them in stride. "You are finally here. Look, when you guys show up, we shall be greatly honored!" Hearing this, Violetughed lightly and handed over the gift in her hand. "David, happy birthday." "You bring me a gift? Thank you!" David took it with a smile and gestured for Violet toe inside. Violet pressed her lips and walked inside. "Louis, where''s your present?" David looked to Louis and asked for a gift. Louis tossed a car key to him, and his handsome face was expressionless. David took it, "Wow, thetest Lamborghini sports car. Louis, you''re so good to me." Louis nced at the gift bag in his hand, and then Violet walked away, "It is a gift from her. You dare to try it on?" Chapter 205 Chapter 205 Louis'' jealousy was so intense! Violet followed the waiter''s direction to the inner room, which was already full of people. She looked around and saw several familiar faces. But they were just acquaintances. Violet took a ss of juice from a waiter''s tray and sat in the corner. She was happy to be alone. She''ll just sit for a while, and then find an excuse to leaveter. Violet took a sip of her juice, and with a casual nce, she saw Ciara standing with Austin. The two were talking about something and Ciara fell into Austin''s arms when she didn''t stand still. Austin wrapped her in a hug in a hurry. They were so intimate! Violet looked at the scene and thought, "Ciara looks like she''s tolerant. Knowing that Austin had slept with another woman, Ciara was actually not angry at all. She really didn''t feel bad? ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. "What are you looking at?" A man''s low voice suddenly rang in her ears. Violet returned to her senses, only to find that Louis had walked up to her at some point. "Nothing." "Nothing? Didn''t you just look at Austin?" "Do you fall in love with him?" Louis nced at her, and his eyes were a little cool. "Mr. Johnson, am I that much of a nymphomaniac?" Violet was speechless. "Then what do you keep staring at him for?" "I just don''t think his girlfriend is suitable for him." Violet returned. Louis looked at Austin, who was not far away, and didn''t say anything else. At this point, a host came on and the birthday party was about to begin. "Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor to host today''s birthday party for David ..." After the host said his opening remarks, "Next, we''ll start by asking David to invite a female partner for the opening dance." David smiled at the apuding crowd, and his eyes fell on Violet. He was tempted to ask Violet to do the opening dance, but when he met Louis'' gaze, he hurriedly averted his eyes. At the end, he invited his manager to do the opening dance. "Handsome gentlemen and beautifuldies, let''s dance together." David did the opening dance and the atmosphere started to heat up. Violet watched the people around her who walked into the dance floor in pairs. She thought about it, and was ready to go out the room for fresh air. Someone touched her waist and pulled her into an embrace. Violet froze, and raised her eyes but met Louis'' deep eyes. The man didn''t say anything, but took her onto the dance floor. The music of the waltz lilted, and the man skillfully led her to dance. Initially, Violet was at a loss. Then she was getting better. Looking into Louis'' dark eyes, it seemed there was fire burning in his eyes. The lights flickered on and off, rendering ambiguous feelings. At that moment, the lights suddenly went out, but the sound of the music remained. Violet froze, and was about to say something. But the force that held her waist slightly aggravated, and she felt the warmth on her lips ... Violet''s head was a little empty, and by the time she reacted, Louis had let go of her. In the darkness, both of them breathed a little sharply with heat. Violet''s face burned a little as she pushed Louis away and walked quickly outside. Why did he suddenly kiss her? She was not offended by it! Violet held her burning face and headed for the bathroom. She needed to calm down! "Brooklyn Scott, you''re already drunk? Look at you! You''re so weak. Get your ass back to you home early ..." Chapter 206 Chapter 206 A man''s sneering voice came to her ears. Violet inadvertently nced at the corner and hastily ducked. At that moment, Marcus knocked over a drunken man and was taunting him condescendingly. The man was so drunk that he fell and sat at the base of the wall, climbing twice without getting up. Someone came out from a room and whispered something to Marcus. Marcus snorted toward the man on the ground, then looked at the two women who dressed in a sexy way and came with him into a private room. Marcus had a bad temper. Brooklyn Scott? The name was a bit familiar. Violet came out of the corner, not wanting to mind other''s business, and walked in the direction of the bathroom. There was a rustling sound behind her, and Violet subconsciously turned around to see the man who had just stumbled and rushed in her direction. Violet was startled and rushed to the side to hide. Next to a trash can, the man pulled her away, hugged the trash can and vomited furiously. Violet stumbled and barely managed to hold on to the wall to stand. The man threw up for a moment, dropped to the floor and looked at Violet with a ragged breath. Violet wrinkled her brow, looked at his face which was as white as paper. She kindly handed him a tissue. "Are you okay?" Brooklyn took the tissue and struggled to get up from the floor, "I''m sorry. I almost hit you just now." Violet shook her head, "Drinking hurts your body. You''d better drink less in the future." N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Brooklyn''s body swayed lightly andughed bitterly in silence. Violet finished and intended to leave, but saw Brooklyn cover his chest and fall towards her ... The lively birthday party was still going on in the private room. Louis took a sip of wine and looked at the door of the room. His eyebrows slightly wrinkled. He just kissed her! He didn''t know why he kissed her. Probably the darkness bred sensuality and he can''t help it. "Louis, where''s Helena?" David came over and inquired. Probably she was scared off by him! Was it so terrible that he kissed her? Louis took a sip of the wine, and his dark eyes were sunken. He put down his ss and took a big step towards the outside. "Louis, it''s almost time for the birthday cake, so call Helena back." David''s call came from behind him. Louis did not respond and went out the room. Outside, people wereing and going, and there was no sign of Violet. As Louis walked, he pulled out his cell phone and dials Violet''s number. At this point, Violet had just called a car to take Brooklyn to the hospital. She answered Louis'' phone. "Where are you?" "I''m, I''m in the hospital." Violet''s voice was a little breathless from running so fast. Louis on the other end of the phone frowned, "Hospital? In which hospital? What''s wrong?" "I''m in the emergency department of the city hospital, that, is ..." "Wait for me." Before Violet could finish, Louis hung up the phone. Violet blinked, inexplicably hearing the anxiety in the man''s tone. Twenty minutester, Louis'' tall figure appeared in the long corridor of the emergency room. He looked around, searching for Violet. "Mr. Johnson, this way." Violet saw him, got up and waved towards him. Louis strode up to her and looked at her up and down. "What''s wrong with you?" The man was breathing heavily, like he had run all the way here. Dark eyes were fixed on her with a hint of anxiety. He was caring for her. Violet''s heart warmed slightly, "Mr. Johnson, I''m fine." "You''re okay? Why did youe to the hospital if you''re okay?" Louis asked, wrinkling his brow. "Yes ..." Before Violet could answer, the door to the emergency room opened. A doctor walked out. Violet didn''t bother to exin and walked towards the doctor. "Doctor, how is he?" "Alcohol poisoning. Fortunately you brought him here in time. We have her stomach pumped. He should be fine." The doctor informed the situation and then left. "Who has alcohol poisoning?" Louis inquired. "He is ..." Chapter 207 Chapter 207 Violet was about to exin when someone came here hurriedly. "Miss Elliott, I''m Mr. Brooklyn''s assistant. Where''s Mr. Brooklyn?" Violet gave him a slight nod, "He just had his stomach pumped. The doctor said he''s fine and now in the observation room ." When she brought Brooklyn to the hospital, he still had a glimmer of rity. After giving her the assistant''s number, he passed out again. "Thank you Miss Elliott for sending Mr. Brooklyn to the hospital." The assistant smiled gratefully and nodded slightly with Louis again. "It''s okay, so I''ll leave this ce to you. We''ll leave first." Violet did the good thing and didn''t n to stay much longer. "Okay, Miss Elliott, Mr. Johnson, you two take care." The assistant watched the two leave and then went to the observation room. Outside. Louis nced at Violet, "How did you manage to save Brooklyn''s life? Do you know who he is?" "He got drunk and passed out in front of me so I brought him to the hospital. Who is he?" Violet asked. "He''s the second son of the Scott family, Marcus'' half-brother." Louis returned. So he was the second son of Scott family? No wonder she thought she had heard the name ¡°Brooklyn¡± somewhere. It dawned on Violet. She sighed for a moment when she thought of the way Marcus had just taunted Brooklyn to the hilt. She heard that Brooklyn was taken into the Scott family at the age of ten. He was the Scott family''s illegitimate son. In the Scott family, this man should always be bullied by Marcus. "What''s that look on your face? Are you thinking about Brooklyn?" The man''s unpleasant voice came to her ears. Violet looked back and saw his cool and ck eyes. Violet lost her smile, "No, just sorting out some rtionships." "There''s nothing to care about. Just remember that the Scott family and the Johnson family are deadly rivals . Stay away from the Scotts in the future." Louis said in a deep voice and came to the car. The two families were bitter rivals, so what did it matter to her? Violet nced at Louis'' handsome side face and her almond eyes shed. It was like she was still a part of the Johnson family. Violet bellyached and pulled open the door. When she saw Louis sit in the driver''s seat, she nced over her shoulder. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Mr. Johnson, did you just drive here?" He actually did drunk driving! Louis'' seat belt was fastened, and he did not say a word. "We should change the seat. You drink and drive. Do you want to die?" Violet rushed to the driver''s side and dragged Louis down. The woman''s exasperated look was full of worry. Louis'' eyebrows shed withughter and he got out of the car as he was told. "Take me back to the vi." "Huh? Aren''t we going to go eat David''s birthday cake?" "You want to eat?" "No." "If you want to eat, I''ll have it sent over." "That won''t be necessary." At the ward. Brooklyn woke up. "Mr. Brooklyn, are you OK?" The assistant had just finished the hospitalization procedures and rushed over to help Brooklyn get up. Brooklyn looked around and saw no sign of Violet. "Where is the person who sent me here?" "You mean Miss Elliott and Mr. Johnson? They waited for me to arrive and then left." The assistant answered. Brooklyn''s hand rubbed his temples and his eyes shed with surprise. "Louis came to the hospital too?" "Yes, Mr. Johnson and Miss Elliott both seem very close." The assistant returned. Thinking of something, he whispered, "Mr. Brooklyn, I''ve gotten words that Mr. Marcus wants to make a scandal out of you and Miss Elliott." Chapter 208 Chapter 208 Hearing the assistant''s words, Brooklyn smiled coldly. He, the big brother, was really doing everything he can to be in charge of the Scott Group. Including today, his own customers were probably taken away from him again. However, he did not expect to meet Violet today, and she helped him for this time. And Louis showed up at the hospital as well. Louis was cold and arrogant, and if he didn''t care about Violet, he couldn''t have been there for her. So, ording to the current situation, Louis still had feelings for Violet. If he really had sex with Violet, wouldn''t he be hated by Louis? When the time came, Louis would deal with him and Marcus can sit back and watch the fight between he and Louis. What a good game! "What does he n to do?" "Here''s the deal ..." N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Lyonhall Vi. Violet dropped Louis off at the vi. "Mr. Johnson, we have arrived." Louis pulled open the car door, "I haven''t eaten anything yet. Go inside and make me a bowl of noodles." He wanted her to make noodles for him? She didn''t seem to have that obligation anymore, did she? Violet froze and hesitated to get out of the car. Louis nced at her, "Didn''t you ask me what gift I wanted? You also said that I don''tck anything, so let''s convert the gift into meal. One meal is 1000 dors. How much the gift you gave David, how many meals you owe me." Can it still be like this? How much did he hold a grudge against her for giving David a gift!? Violet lost her smile, looked at the vi not far away and got out of the car anyway. When she entered, Lucy was surprised and delighted to see Violet. "Mrs. Johnson, you''re here!" Violet smiled sarcastically, "Lucy, I''m not ... anymore." "What are you still standing there for?" Louis interrupted Violet with words. Violet gave him a look and went into the kitchen. He forced her to cook and was still so justified of doing so. The kitchen rang with the nking of pots and pans. The cold vi instantly seemed to be activated. Louis was happy. He went upstairs, took a shower and changed into a lounge-wear. The phone rang and it was Harry''s calling. "Mr. Johnson, we have made an appointment with Rex. He has promised to have lunch with you tomorrow." Hearing this, Louis replied and hung up the phone. Rex was the friend of the patriarch of the Scott family, Deacon, and he seemed to prefer to work with them. It wasn''t easy for the Johnson Group to get this partnership. "Mr. Johnson, the noodles are ready." From downstairs came Violet''s voice. Louis returned to his senses, opened the door and went downstairs. The aroma of food wafted through the house, whetting his appetite. Louis looked at the figure standing in the dinning room and remembered how the two had once been together. She only cooked for few times, however, he still remembered. She won his stomach, and she won his heart as well! "Mr. Johnson, take your time, then I''ll leave first." Violet finished her task and was ready to leave. Louis nced at the bowl on the table, "Didn''t you tell me to eat less at night? Go get a bowl and share some for me." She was sympathetic to him, but he taunted her instead! He didn''t know what gratitude was! Violet ndered in her heart, and touched her empty stomach. She thought about it, and went into the kitchen to get a bowl out. Louis sat down and silently curled his lips, "I heard that today you were at the Pce Hotel and used your unique cooking skills to save ady?" At that moment, Violet lifted her chin high with some pride. "Yes, Mr. Johnson, shouldn''t you thank me?" Louis slightly lifted his eyes, "Courtesy demands reciprocity. I helped you a few times. It''s only right that you return the favor once." Let''s pretend she didn''t say that! She didn''t really want him to thank her anyway. Violet was bristled and began to eat the noodles. Louis watched her slowly eating noodles, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned upwards, "What do you want?" Hmm? Violet looked up at him. Louis elegantly ate his noodles, "I''m not like some people who are saying empty words. You can mention whatever you want." This man, every time he spoke, he had to taunt her. "Thank you Mr. Johnson for your generosity. You helped me. I helped you. It''s even." "I''m a man. I should be generous. Remember, you can mention anything you want from me in the future." Louis wiped the corner of his mouth elegantly and spoke in a light voice. Was he so good to her? Chapter 209 Chapter 209 Violet nced at him, her eyes falling on his thin lips. The man ate all the noodles and his thin lips were watery, full and sexy. The scene of the two embracing and kissing in the clubhouse suddenly shed in her mind. Violet''s ears turned hot, and she quickly lowered her eyes. It was just an ident. She had to not to think about it! "Mr. Johnson, I''m full. So I''ll leave first." Violet hurriedly finished thest bite of noodles in her bowl and got up to leave quickly without waiting for Louis to say anything. Louis'' dark eyes were fixed on her and the corners of his mouth curled. Was she that nervous about being alone with him? She actually had feelings for him, didn''t she? Violet got in the car, patted her slightly burned face, exhaled deeply and started the car. Back in the parking lot of her residence, she parked her car and prepared to go to the store. She didn''t know if it was just her illusion, but she vaguely felt that someone was following her behind. Violet''s heart jumped and she grabbed her bag in her hand. She took two quick steps forwards, stopped at a corner, then turned around violently. Then she picked up her bag and smashed it at the other side. "Who is it!? Why are you following me?" "Violet, it''s me." Isaac tilted his head to avoid Violet''s bag. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Isaac, so it''s you. Is everything okay?" Violet breathed a sigh of relief and smiled in a little embarrassed way. "I''m fine." Isaac smiled and straightened his clothes. "What brings you here? It''s to see Evie, isn''t it?" Violet asked as she walked. Isaac froze and said with a bitter smile, "I came to tell you that I quit my job and am ready to go it alone." So, in the future, when he came here, he can onlye to Evie? "What''s so sudden?" With a surprised look on her face, Violet pulled open the door of Tasty Interlude Bakery. "Well, go inside and talk me about it." The two entered the store one after the other. Not far behind under arge tree, a man looked at the store, lowered his duck cap and turned to leave. Tasty Interlude Bakery. Evie was cleaning up the store. When she saw Isaacing, she was all smiles. "Isaac, what brings you here?" "He came to see you." Violet teased. "Violet." Evie gave Violet a shy re. Violetughed lightly and gave Isaac a ss of water. "Isaac, you resigned from the Johnson Group because of Jasmine?" Isaac took a sip of water and looked at her, "Not really." Jasmine was part of the reason, and the other part of the reason was Louis. He didn''t want to keep working for Louis. His self-esteem can''t get over it. "Isaac, you''re quitting? Ready to go it alone? It''s a new beginning. Gotta celebrate it." Evie ignored Isaac''s reason for resigning and offered with a smile. "Yes, Isaac, anyway, a new journey is about to begin. It''s something worth to celebrate." Violet echoed. Isaac said, "Earlier, a client gave me some Oceanview Resort tickets as a thank. So let''s take Erin to the resort with Josie this weekend. I heard there are fireworks and a bonfire at night." "Yeah!" Evie raised her hand in favor. "Okay." Violet thought about it and nodded her head in agreement. It''d been a long time since she had not taken her little one out to y and she''ll be so happy. Monday. She was going to Greenville Community College today for coboration. Violet arrived at Greenville just in time. Chapter 210 Chapter 210 "Miss Helena is here? Please follow me." The receptionist led Violet into a conference room. Violet looked around and sat down on the couch. "Miss Helena, please have some water. Paul is in charge of this cooperation. He wille to discuss the details of the cooperation with you soon." The receptionist handed over a ss of water and spoke politely. "Okay, thanks." Violet smiled and thanked the receptionist, and when she left, she was ready for drinking the water. Tick, a message came in on the phone. Violet put down her ss of water and pulled out her phone to look at it. It was an unfamiliar text message that said there was something wrong with the water and not to drink it. Violet: "......" What a situation! She hade to talk about cooperation. Was there someone who was going to frame up herself out again? Violet''s nerves tightened. She looked around and typed the line ¡°Who are you? Tell me, who is trying to set me up?¡± Who was the other party? Why would she be tipped off? The point is, can he tell her who was trying to set her up? The other party did not respond again. Violet was unsure of herself and was about to leave when the door to the conference room was pushed open and someone walked in. The visitor was in his forties, and as soon as he entered, his eyes skimmed over her and nced at the ss of water on the table. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Violet put her phone away and sat up straight without moving. She would like to see who was behind the person! "You''re Miss Helena, right? Nice to meet you!" Paul walked up to Violet and greeted her with a smile. Violet got up and gave a slight nod, "I''m Helena, and you''re Paul." "Yes, yes, let''s sit down and talk." Paul sat down across from Violet and the receptionist who followed him handed Paul a ss of water. After saying thank you, Paul handed a document to Violet. "Miss Helena, here are the notes about this cooperation. Take a look at them, and if there is anything wrong, we can discuss it again." "Good." Violet smiled politely and took the paper and read it. Paul nced at the ss of water in her hand, and his eyes shed with a ghostly light. After Violet had chatted with him about a few details, he handed her the ss of water, "Miss Helena, thirsty? Drink some water to moisten your throat." He made her drink water! Violet''s eyes moved slightly, put the paper down and took the ss of water, "Good." Paul''s heart fluttered with joy as he waited for Violet to drink the water. Violet passed the ss of water to her lips and suddenly reached up and touched her neck. "Huh, the ne around my neck seems to be missing." With that, she put the ss of water down and began to look around. "The ne is missing? What kind of ne? Where did it go missing?" Paul frowned, saw Violet looking around the couch and started looking for her too. Violet nced at him and waited for him to turn around before quickly switching the two sses of water. Then she touched her head andughed, "Oh, look at me, how could I forget, I was in a hurry to go out today, I didn''t even bring my ne." Hearing this, Paul alsoughed and said, "Miss Helena is a strong woman. Strong women are always careless in life. Come on, have a sip of water." "Thanks, it was hard on Paul just now too." Violet picked up her ss of water and took a sip. This ss of water Paul had drunk before and it did not appear to be unusual. The Paul saw her drink the water, a glint of triumph in his eyes, then picked up the ss of water and took a big sip as well. Violet pretended to continue reading the document. It didn''t take long for the man who start breathing hard. Violet looked up, pretending to be surprised, "Paul, what''s wrong with you?" Paul''s mind was still somewhat clear, he looked at Violet, and then at the water ss, pointed at her and shouted "You, why are you okay? Did you just switch our sses of water?" Chapter 211 Chapter 211 Violet acted innocently, "Paul, what do you mean? Do you mean you put something in the water you gave me to drink?" Paul''s breathing became more rapid as he looked at Violet, his eyes beginning to wander. He then got up violently and lunged at Violet. "Beauty,e over and let me kiss you." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Violet dodged Paul. At that moment, the door was pushed open and two men in ck walked in. They looked like they came in to arrest people. Violet took a step back with a wary look on her face. It seemed that Paul wanted to wait for himself to be hit and take himself away, or he wanted to let the two abuse him on the spot! "Beauty, why are you so sturdy, let brother love you well." Paul didn''t get a hold of Violet and pounced on a ck man who came in. The man in ck was unprepared and his mouth was gnawed by Paul. At once, with a disgusted face, he shrugged him off. "What are you doing?" Paul was drugged out of his mind, once again pounced on the man in ck, hugging him to death is a mess of kissing and touching. The other ck man,pletely stunned by the scene, stepped forward, cursing and trying to pull Paul away. Paul gasped and shifted his aim back to him. Stroke of Paul''s strength is too much, a time, three people constantly tangled. Violet cold hooked up the corners of her lips, opened her small number, and directly posted this scene on the. She still hasn''t figured out what''s going on here. But the only thing that is certain is that this cooperation case today is mostly an excuse. Someone is using Greenville Community College school to try to bring about their own downfall. With a ping, Violet looked forward and saw one of the men in ck break away from Paul''s entanglement and pick up the ashtray on the coffee table and smash it hard into his head. Paul screamed and slowly looked at the man in ck, his eyes rolled over and he fell limply to the ground. Another person in ck clothes pants are unzipped, face full of spit marks, angry and kicked Paul hard. Violet held her phone up to the two men, "Tell me, what are you doing here?" When the man in ck heard Violet''s voice, he remembered the business and looked at her with a fierce face. "Stinky woman, let''s see if we don''t kill you today!" "You dare to touch me? The general public is watching! If anything happens to me, none of you will be able to escape." Violet stood up straight and spoke. The two men in ck gave a beat in their steps, looked at each other, cursed again, and then tried to leave. At that moment, the door was pushed open and Brooklyn and his assistant appeared in the doorway. Sweeping his eyes around, he said in a cold voice, "Who can tell me what''s going on here?" The two men in ck were on their feet and a hint of tension shed in their eyes. "Mr. Brooklyn." They are Marcus''s people. Today''s development ispletely beyond their expectations ah! "Mr. Brooklyn, you''re just in time. The private morals of your school staff are really uneptable." Violet saw that it was Brooklyn who appeared and something shed in her eyes. Brooklyn appeared at this time, so what does this matter today have to do with him? Could he be the one behind it? Yesterday she helped him, if he was behind it, but to be struck by lightning! Chapter 212 Chapter 212 Hearing Violet''s words, Brooklyn and she nodded slightly, "Miss Elliott, what exactly is going on?" "What''s really going on? Take a look for yourself." Violet handed the recorded video to Brooklyn. Brooklyn watched the video of the three tangled together, a sh of disgust in his eyes. "Miss Elliott don''t worry, our school staff did this kind of thing and we will definitely deal with it seriously." Saying that, he gave his assistant a wink. The assistant would understand and have a jug of cold water fetched and poured directly on Paul. Paul grunted twice and slowly opened his eyes. Brooklyn stared at him condescendingly, "Paul, you''re ying so openly in the green light of day! I now announce that you are expelled from school." Paul''s brain is dizzy and aching, and his memory is still slowlying back. Hearing Brooklyn''s words, it all came back to him. He is Marcus'' man, who wanted to capture Brooklyn and Violet together today, but never thought he would be backstabbed in turn! Now Brooklyn is firing him? On what basis? "Mr. Brooklyn, I am Mr. Marcus'' man, don''t you dare fire me?" Paul covered his head and stood up with a defiant look on his face. Brooklyn snickered lightly, "Paul, you mean that you and these two men are screwing around here today with my brother''s authorization? The image of you guys getting together just now has been uploaded to the Inte, and I think our school will soon be criticized. If your behavior is really condoned by Mr. Marcus, then, let Mr. Marcus pay for your behavior!" A remark that made the faces of Paul and the two men in ck change in unison. They all take orders from Marcus, but if something happens, who dares to let Marcus stand up for them? They are sure to eat this loss! Paul dared not say anything. He gave Brooklyn and Violet a hard look and left with two ck-d men at a fast pace. Seeing this, Violet also understood. Those three guys just now are Marcus'' people, they are not the same way as Brooklyn. She was just curious as to why those three people were counting on her. Did Marcus really order this? "Miss Elliott, are you okay?" Brooklyn asked courteously. "I''m fine." Violet shook her head, "It just seems unbelievable." "Incredible what? Miss Elliott is wondering why Paul is counting you out, isn''t she?" Brooklyn asked with a smile. Violet took a look at him, the man in front of him was clean looking, with a smiling brow and a good looking temper. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. She hadn''t said anything yet, so how did he know Paul was trying to set her up? "Miss Elliott, it''s almost noon, why don''t I treat you to dinner and we''ll talk over dinner?" Brooklyn paused, "First, to thank you for helping out yesterday, and second, to apologize for what just happened." Hearing this, Violet thought for a moment and nodded. She wanted to get to the bottom of it. Maybe there''s something to be learned from Brooklyn''s mouth. Upscale restaurant. Some private room. Louis took out a word painting and handed it to the middle-aged man with an umon air across the room. "Mr. Wood, thank you for taking the time toe out and have a meal with my junior, I know you like to collect calligraphy and paintings, this is the famous calligraphy and paintings that I have spent a lot of effort to ask someone to find, please also smile." Rex''s eyes lit up and he took the calligraphy and painting and viewed it with a look of awe. "Mr. Johnson you have a heart." Louis smiles and pours Rex a drink. Rex carefully collected the calligraphy and painting, and epted the wine ss handed over by Louis, "Mr. Johnson ah, although among the cadre of juniors, I think most highly of you, but I also have a deep friendship with the Scott Group''s Deacon, I can''t possibly cooperate with you just because you gave me a calligraphy and painting. cooperation." Hearing this, Louis said, "Mr. Wood, the painting and calligraphy just now is only a personal gift, not a cooperation. Of course, it would be great if Mr. Wood could give me a chance topete with the Scott Group on a level ying field for the sake of my heart." Chapter 213 Chapter 213 The man is not condescending and speaks in an orderly fashion. Rexughed, "Mr. Johnson can talk as well as act. Good, then I will give you a fair chance topete with the Scott Group, as you wish." "Thank you Mr. Wood!" Louis'' purpose was achieved, and he raised his ss and clinked it with Rex. While the two of them were eating and talking, Louis got up to go to the bathroom. Another private room. Violet listened to Brooklyn''s exnation with some consternation. "You mean Paul would count me out because of you?" "Yes." Brooklyn nodded, "The styling studio that has a partnership with Greenville Community College right now is a studio that my mom runs with her apprentice. Early this morning, I received a call from my mom saying that the contract was being discontinued, for what reason, and that I needed toe to the school to ask about it in person." "But I actually got word early on that my good big brother wanted to count me in with you in order to take the inheritance. That way, Louis would target me, and my big brother would be able to secure the inheritance of the Scott Group." Ament that made Violet think. It sounded like a reasonable exnation, but she always felt something was wrong. She and Louis are no longer rted, so why would Marcus think she was vited by Brooklyn and Louis would stand up for her? Isn''t Grace the one who has the most to do with Louis now? If he wanted to set Brooklyn up, shouldn''t he have let something happen between Grace and Brooklyn? Something shed in her mind, too fast for her to catch. "Miss Elliott, I''d like to propose a toast to you." Brooklyn interrupted Violet''s thoughts with a ss of wine. Violet returned to her senses and smiled as she picked up the juice. "Mr. Brooklyn, we''re kind of a difficult brother, so is your mother a makeup artist too?" "Yes, my mother opened a studio a long time ago, but her health has not been good, now basically handed over to her apprentice in the care." Brooklyn took a sip of wine andughed, "Since we''re brothers in arms, Miss Elliott, just call me by my first name." "Then don''t bite Miss Elliott either, just call me Helena." Violet smiled and thought of something, she tried to say "The person who sent me an anonymous text message to warn me about the water problem, was it you?" Brooklyn gave her a chopstick of food and did not deny it, "I sent it, you helped me, of course I can not let you suffer me again." "So it''s really you. Fortunately, you were prepared for it."N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. "I can''t help it, born in a wealthy family, if I wasn''t careful about everything, I''m afraid I would have been killed." "Sost night, you got set up by your brother again?" "Yeah, no way, I''m still too weak." "......" The two of them chatted while eating and were still very much in sync. After finishing their meal, the two got up and prepared to leave. "Helena, you''ve got something in your hair." Brooklyn saw something in Violet''s hair and smiled as she went to help her get it. At that moment, the waiter pushed in the door and prepared to clear the table. Louis, who just happened to be passing by, nced at it without thinking and stopped in his tracks. From his point of view, Brooklyn appears to be stroking Violet''s face. He leaned over slightly, was he trying to kiss her? And Violet, actually standing still! Chapter 214 Chapter 214 Louis'' eyes sank and he took a big step inside. Violet only felt a tightness on her arm, and before she could react, she was pulled behind one person. She shifted her body, barely standing still, and blinked as she looked at the man''s upright figure. "Mr. Johnson?" Louis looked at her sideways, his eyes cool. He ignored her and swept his cold eyes to Brooklyn. "Mr. Brooklyn is out of the hospital so soon?" Brooklyn looked at Louis'' cold face and smiled, "Thank you Mr. Johnson for your concern, I lost my cool in front of you and Helenast night, you must treat me to a treat some day." The man had a modest face and deliberately added the word you. Louis'' ck eyes narrowed slightly, and his original hostility was slightly converged. The look on his face softened slightly as his eyes swept to a grain of rice cupped in Brooklyn''s hand. Just now probably he looked wrong. Brooklyn is taking the rice out of Violet''s hair. This woman, eating a meal is worse than a three-year-old child. "Mr. Brooklyn has a heart, and since you''ve already invited Violet, there''s no need to do so." "Good." Brooklyn smiled and exhaled darkly. Louis just looked at himself with an obvious murderous look. Probably misunderstood what he just did. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Fortunately, he knew his ce and said something to dissuade Louis from being hostile to him. So, if Marcus gets his way today, he''s not far from death. "Mr. Johnson, I invited Helena to dinner, in fact, not only to thank her forst night, but also to apologize to her incidentally." Brooklyn felt the need to get some eye candy with Louis. The Scott family and The Johnson Family are bitter rivals, and he doesn''t expect to be friends with Louis, but he can''t be enemies either. To be enemies, let Louis and Marcus be enemies. "What is it?" Louis looked to Brooklyn and asked. "To put it mildly, it''s actually a family scandal ......" Brooklyn gave a brief ount of what happened. Louis'' dark eyes stared deeply at Violet, pleading with his eyes. Violet pursed her lips and nodded. That said, she was kind of undeservedly affected. Who made her Louis'' ex-wife? "Go back and don''t take any more business from the Scott Group in the future. I''ll keep track of this ount." Louis spoke in a cold voice and then exited the booth. He has no time for Marcus right now. But sooner orter, he will make Marcus regret what he did today! Violet subconsciously ummed and responded, somewhat breathlessly. Why should she listen to him? And so obedient! It''s like, she''s still her husband! "Helena, are you and Mr. Johnson getting ready to get back together?" Brooklyn asked tentatively. Violet froze and hastily denied, "No thing, don''t specte." Is it really his blind guess? Not really! ...... the Scott Group. When he received Paul''s call, Marcus kicked his office chair with a grim face. Useless stuff! Violet recognized it! That bastard even took the opportunity to eliminate one of his inner circle! This was Grace''s bad idea? Not only did he not kill two birds with one stone, but he was put at a disadvantage! This stupid woman, what''s the use of having her! With a cold face, Marcus dialed Grace''s number. Pce Hotel, Grace is watching the news. The news is the video that Violet uploaded. Although Violet didn''t say anything, countless users have already found out that the location is Greenville Community College. Over time, Greenville Community College has be controversial because of this indecent video. Grace''s spine was covered in cold sweat and a cold whoosh. How did this happen? Shouldn''t the video be an indecent video of Violet and Brooklyn? How did it turn into three men screwing around together? Can that Paul do anything? Chapter 215 Chapter 215 Tick, the phone rang. Grace, who was thinking about her mind, was startled and almost jumped up. Looking at the iing call on her phone, she bit her lip and picked up the phone. "Marcus." "Stupid, this is your good idea? Not only did you fail to fix those two, but you put me in a passive situation! You''re so useless, can you be my virtuous helper?" Marcus''s angry voice came over the current. Grace tightened her grip on the phone and hurriedly begged for forgiveness, "I''m sorry Marcus, I didn''t think it through, but it''s not all my fault, it''s that Paul who''s useless and didn''t get it right." N?velDrama.Org holds this content. "Paul is my guy, so you''re still ming me, are you?" Marcusughed coldly, his tone full of grimness. Grace''s heart tightened, "I didn''t mean that, I was just thinking, we will fail, it must be Brooklyn got the information in advance! Marcus, after all, there''s no point in pursuing this. If we don''t get Violet and Brooklyn this time, there''s still a chance, right?" Hearing this, Marcus was silent, "Grace, do you remember what my original intention was when I asked you to impersonate Louis'' woman?" Grace froze and returned, "It''s to get me into The Johnson Group to be your inside man and help you steal trade secrets." "Yes, so whether or not I get Violet whole is secondary, my main thing is to defeat Louis and annex The Johnson Group." Marcus'' voice was grim, and Grace swallowed hard and said tentatively, "Marcus, so now you want to ......" "If I want to beat Louis, I have to take the Scott Group''s Right of inheritance first . And now that the battle between Brooklyn and I for the right of inheritance has reached a fever pitch, the only way I can sessfully take the right of inheritance is to outperform Brooklyn at work." Marcus paused, "This time, the group has a cooperation project, if I can help Deacon take it down, then I am bound to have a better chance of winning than Brooklyn. So, I want you to find a way to get into The Johnson Group and steal a copy of the nning project ......" He got word that Rex had sent word that he would let the Scott Group and The Johnson Group As long as he has the Johnson Group''s proposal for the partnership, the Scott Group can definitely beat the Johnson Group and take the partnership with the Rex''s Group. Then, he will be looked up to by Deacon and the Board of Directors! After listening to Marcus'' n, Grace gripped her phone tightly, her heart pounding. Marcus wants her to steal the ns! How will she be able to steal it? Confidential documents must be hidden in Louis''sputer, and there must be a password, what can she do to unknowingly view the information, but also can not be found? After hanging up the phone, Grace kept pacing around the office, thinking of a solution. Messages kepting in on the phone. She picked it up and looked at it. It was a message from the school teacher in the parent group asking parents to assist their children in creating a child development profile. Grace finished reading and tossed her phone aside, a little annoyed. She''s not here to be a cheap mom, she hates making these messes! What shed in her mind, she suddenly brightened up, and suddenly a n came to her mind. She has a way to steal the n without knowing it! Chapter 216 Chapter 216 RW Styling Studio. Violet nced at her wristwatch; it was already time for kindergarten to be dismissed. Josie was too busy with her business to take care of anything else, so she was left to pick up her daughter from school. Near the end of the rush hour, the traffic on the road was getting heavy. Violet watched the road in front of her and drove carefully. A car behind her is overtaking, suddenly don''t her car a little. Violet was startled and hit the brakes sharply. Ping. The car behind you rear-ended. Violet was so depressed that she had to get out of the car to check the situation. "What''s wrong with you, do you know how to drive? You''re a woman. Sure enough women are road kill." The driver who rear-ended the car pointed at Violet and cursed. Violet apologized repeatedly, walked to the small car that don''t own car, knocked the driver''s window, "Youe down, why deliberately don''t my car? Apologize to me." The owner of the car rolled down the window, reached out and took off his sunsses, with an arrogant look, "What did you say? I don''t want to drive your car? Don''t spout off, it''s obviously you who can''t drive." "My car recorder can prove that I have been driving steadily and it was you who suddenly exceeded the speed limit and deliberately stopped the car." Violet frowned and theorized. "Bullshit! You want to put the me on me, don''t you? Then let''s talk about it today." The man pulled open the door and got out of the car with a fierce face. Violet originally only wanted an apology, but now she''s been pped backwards. She could only call the police and at the same time call her daughter''s homeroom teacher to help look after Erin for a while. School entrance. Grace nced at the phone message. "All is well, Violet is being held back." The corners of Grace''s mouth hooked up and a ghostly light shed in her eyes. She asked someone to find a way to stall Violet so she could facilitate what she did next. Her eyes fell on the two children in front of the kindergarten, and she straightened her expression and walked over. "Luka, Erin." Luka saw that it was Grace who came and pursed her lips without squeaking. Erin called out politely, "Auntie." "Good boy." Grace smiled gently, then looked at Luka. "Luka, we''ve been assigned homework at school today, so let''s skip back to Balridge Manor and go to the office to see Daddy. We''ll let Daddy do t with you, okay?" Hearing this, Luka brightened up and nodded. Grace took his hand, "Then let''s go." Luka didn''t move and looked at Candy, "Wait a little longer." Each time he would watch Erin leave before he did. At that moment, the ss teacher walked over, "Erin, don''t worry, mommy is going toe overter oh." Hearing this, Grace took the opportunity to speak up, "Erin, do you want to go with Luka? Let your mommy pick you up from the officeter?" To Uncle Louis''pany? Erin blinked and nodded at Luka''s expectant gaze. "Good." She was happy to meet Uncle Louis. "Then go with your aunt." Grace said hello to the ss teacher and then led the two children to the car. At that end, Violet was still dealing with a traffic ident. When she received the call from her ss teacher, she was a little confused. Is there any mistake? Grace picked up Erin? Or did it go to The Johnson Group? It''s illogical! Grace doesn''t look like she likes Erin. Violet thought about it, the sight of an inadvertent nce, see not far away, a man is staring straight at her. Seeing her eyes sweep to him, he pulled the hood of his sweatshirt down and turned to leave. "Miss Elliott, he admitted his mistake, and the matter is handled in this way, so if it''s okay with you, please sign this." With the sound of the traffic police ringing in her ears, Violet returned to her senses and looked at the N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. ident certificate. Chapter 217 Chapter 217 The traffic police and the two car ownersmunicate, and eventually that individual car owners in the traffic police education admitted fault, and Violet apologized. And the owner of that rear-ended car, how topensate for it. Violet didn''t say anything more, signed the papers quickly and drove to The Johnson Group. Office of the President, The Johnson Group. Louis wasn''t in the office. The secretary opened the door and let Grace and the two children in. "Luka, Dad is not here, why don''t you do it yourself first and fill out the rest of the information together when Dades back?" Grace looked at the empty office, the corners of her mouth lightly hooked. She knew that Louis would not be in the office today because he had a social engagement. "Hmm." Luka walked over to the desk and tried to climb into the chair. Grace carried him up and brought a chair over and carried Erin up as well. She then ced a small camera on the bookshelf beside them while the two were not looking. The camera is pointed right at theputer and can clearly illuminate everything in front of the "Need a password." Luka turned on theputer and looked at Grace. Grace''s eyes flickered, "Luka, you call Daddy and ask for the password. Remember, don''t tell anyone the password, because there might be confidential documents in dad''sputer." Luka thought about it and nodded, then pulled out her small cell phone and called Louis. "Dad, my sister and I are in your office ......" Listening to Luka and Louis'' call, Grace didn''t stay, but took the fruit outside and sent it to the people in the secretary''s office to eat. Tick, there is a messageing from the phone, Grace who has heard somepliments took out the phone and looked at it. "Boss, Violet is on her way to The Johnson Group, and it appears that someone is following her." Someone is following Violet? Grace''s eyes shed with surprise when she typed a line, "What people?" The other party sent a photo over. It was a man in a ck sweatshirt. Grace''s eyes shed, "Find out what this is." Why is this man stalking Violet? Is it an enemy or a friend? Grace put away her phone, not bothering with the matter for the moment. Because right now she has more important things to do. Tapping on the file connected to the camera, she clearly saw the image of Luka''s little fingers entering the password on the keyboard. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! It''s done! Grace re-entered the president''s office with the fruit tray. The two children at the desk are concentrating on theputer. "Luka, you''re amazing! You don''t even need Uncle Louis to teach you, and you know how to do it?" Erin watched Luka skillfully build the file with a look of admiration. "This is easy, I''ll teach you." Luka straightened up her little body with a proud face. "Erin is stupid and can''t learn." "It''s okay, you don''t know how, I''ll just do it for you." "Let Mommye and do Erin''s homework for her with Lukater." "Good." Listening to the childish talk of the two, Grace walked up to them and secretly took the camera off. The main thing sheid this game is to get theputer password and take herself out. And right now, she has seeded. "Erin, have some fruit." Grace greets Erin with fruit. "Thank you, Auntie." Erin thanked sweetly. Grace finished her task and sat on the couch, waiting quietly for Violet and Louis to arrive. It didn''t take long for Violet to arrive in a hurry. Chapter 219 Chapter 219 "Miss Elliott?" Grace saw Violet appear and said hello to her. "Miss Harper, thank you so much for today." Violet thanked politely. "You''re wee. Luka likes to y with Erin." Grace got up and called out toward the secretary''s office, "Get Miss Elliott a ss of water." Her behavior was rather liked a hostess greeting her guest Violetpressed her lips and walked in the direction of Louis¡¯ desk. "Mommy,e on. We have homework today! Luka has already done part of it for us. We just need you to fill in the information." Erin waved at Violet with gusto. This child, however, was quite good at letting others help her. Violet lost her smile and went over to theputer. She wanted to take her daughter away right away, but Luka had helped with part of the homework and she was too embarrassed to refuse. "Aunt Violet, please sit down." Luka''s eyes shone brightly, looking as if he was begging for praise. "Luka, did you do this alone? Didn''t anyone teach you?" Violet held Luka on her arms while she sat down in front of theputer. "I did it all by myself." Luka straightened her little chest with pride. He was very interested inputers. Once back at Balridge Manor, there was more chances to ess toputers. Therefore, making a slide was just easy for him. "Luka, you are awesome." Violetplimented from the bottom of her heart. Luka''s ears were slightly red, feeling the warmthing from his body. He was sitting on aunt Violet''sp! Aunt Violet''s embrace was so soft and fragrant! Erin said in a soft voice, "Yes, Luka is great. Unlike Erin, who is so clumsy. Mommy, do you dislike me?" "Howe? Everyone has their strengths, and mommy won''t dislike you." "Mommy, what is this?" "This is for me to fill the food you like to eat." "......" Watching Violet sitting in front of theputer, filling out information while chatting with the two, Grace looked at the time and the corners of her mouth turned upwards again. Louis knew Erin was here, so he should be back soon. As soon as he saw Violet sitting in front of theputer, then soon after the n was stolen, the first person he should suspect would be Violet! This game, again, was to kill two birds with one stone. This time, there was no way she''ll make a mistake! At that moment, the door was pushed open and the tall figure of Louis appeared. He saw the three people in front of theputer at a nce, and his eyes narrowed slightly. What was Violet doing with hisputer? "Louis, you''re back." Grace stood up and greeted her with a smile. Louis nced at her and his eyes moved slightly. Grace was here? She and Violet stayed in his office at the same time waiting for him and were still at peace with each other. It was a bit of bizarre. "Louis, they have homework that needs to be done by them and parents. So I acted on my own and brought Luka here." Grace took the suit jacket that Louis had slung over his arm and exined gently. Louis¡¯s eyes fell forwards. Grace added, "Miss Elliott was probably dyed and didn''t pick up Erin in time, so I brought Erin with me." Louis raised his eyebrows, didn''t say anything, and walked in the direction of his desk. By this time, Violet had filled out the information and was printing it. Erin looked over at Louis with a smile, "Uncle Louis." Louis smiled as well and took Erin into his arms. "Working on what?" "Watching mommy and Luka do their homework." Erin hugged Louis''s neck and muttered. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Louis listened attentively, his eyes falling on Violet''s body. Violet had already typed up the information and put Luka down from herp. "Mr. Johnson, I just borrowed yourputer. Thank you very much. So we''ll leave you to it." Chapter 220 Chapter 220 Violet hugged Erin and thanked him politely. Louis moved his lips and was about to speak when Grace, who was following him, smiled and said, "Miss Elliott, you don''t have to be so polite. How about having a dinner together?" The woman smiled warmly and leaned on Louis'' side like a hostess. Violetpressed her lips and smiled slightly, "No. Erin, say goodbye to everyone." Erin nced at Louis with some reluctance, "Bye uncle Louis. Bye Luka. Bye auntie." Violet stroked Luka''s little head, then grabbed her belongings and left quickly. The room fell silent as Louis unbuttoned a button on his shirt, inexplicably lost. He looked to Luka to distract himself, "Have you done your homework?" "Not yet. There''s still a part of it that needs to be done by you and mommy." Luka was also a little lost and her spirits were not as high as before. "Louis, I''m going to go to the bathroom, so you can do it with Luka." Grace excused herself to go to the bathroom and did not approach theputer. She wanted to minimize her suspicions. Nightfall. The quiet office area was shrouded in darkness. A trash can in the security channel moved, and someone climbed out of it. After being fully armed, the man came to the door of the president''s office and gently pushed the door to enter ...... Emerald Hotel of the Scott Group. Marcus was sittingzily on a sofa, sipping a ss of wine. ¡°Tick.¡± He received a message on his phone. Marcus took a sip of his wine and picked it up to look at it. It was done! The n was stolen! Marcus'' eyes lit up and a winning smile shed in his eyes. This time, Grace finally got a job done! "Marcus, what are you looking at? Why are you smiling so smugly?" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Jasmine just finished her shower, walked over to Marcus in her sexy pajamas and leaned into his arms. Marcus put the phone down, took her hand and put it to his mouth and kissed it, "It''s nothing." "Nothing? It''s like you''re watching something indecent, right?" Jasmine poked him in the chest and chirped. "With you here, I¡¯m not interested in it." Marcus smiled wickedly and pinned her underneath him. Jasmine hooked her arms around his neck, "Marcus, my dad doesn''t approve of me marrying you. What do you think?" Hearing this, Marcus raised an eyebrow, "So we''ll just have to be an underground couple?" "I''m not going to be an underground couple with you!" Jasmine said delicately, "Marcus, if I¡¯m pregnant by you, my dad will have to agree. So, do you want to make an effort?" She wanted to have a baby by him? This woman was totally charmed by him. Marcus snorted in his heart, but his face did not show it. "Okay, let''s work together!" "Marcus, you''re bad." "So, do you like it?" "......" Clothes were thrown to the floor and the temperature of the room rose. The phone rang with extra harshness. Disgruntled, Marcus looked up and took a look at his phone. It was Grace''s call. His eyes shed and he picked up the phone, "Secretary? I can''t leave right now. I''ll talk about it tomorrow." On the other end of the phone, Grace stared at the phone, and her face changed for a moment. He called her Secretary! He must be with Jasmine! Her eyes fell on a file in front of her and she suddenly tugged it tight. She had to help him fulfill his wish quickly so that she can be the hostess of the Scott family! Chapter 221 Chapter 221 Louis handed the finished proposal to Rex''s assistant and waited for Rex to make the final decision. Soon, he got word that Rex was nning to work with the Scott Group. This was not a good news. Louis eyebrows were cold and called Rex directly. He can concede defeat, provided he knew the reason of defeat. After talking with Rex, Rex said, "Mr. Johnson, I have to say that both of you are excellent management teams, and even your thoughts are simr." "The reason why I chose to work with the Scott Group is the n he made is more refined. I feel more satisfactory. I''ll send you the Scott Group''s n, and you can see yourself if the Scott Group is a better yer this time." Rex was very quick to send the n directly to Louis. Louis opened it up to look at it, and his face changed when he saw that the Scott Group''s n was not far from his own. Something fishy! How can the two ns be so simr? He did not think the two families would be so identical in their business philosophies. The Scott Group''s n clearly made some adjustments on his original one. How did this happen? Louis'' dark eyes sank, and his first reaction was that the n had been giarized. However, the final n was revised by him personally and stored in his ownputer. Hisputer was the most advanced one in the world today. Even top hackers can''t heck it. Unless someone entered with a password in an imposing manner to see the information inside. How could his n be giarized? Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Something suddenly shed in his mind, and Louis'' brow knitted. "Harry,e in." Harry heard the call and pushed the door in. "Mr. Johnson, something wrong?" "Find out who has been in my office in thest few days while I was away." "Yes, sir." Harry answered the call and came in a few momentster. "Mr. Johnson, I''ve checked the visiting records. In your absence these days, the only people who have entered your office are Miss Harper and Miss Elliott the day before yesterday." Sure enough! So, if someone really giarized his n, then the biggest suspects were Grace and Violet! Louis''s dark eyes were deep in concentration, and his mind shed back to the scene he saw that afternoon. When he entered the office, it was Violet staying busy in theputer. Could she have done it? Intuition told him that it was impossible! Louis tapped his long fingers on the desktop, and after a silent moment, he took out his cell phone and dialed Violet. Meanwhile, at the cafe. Violet looked across at Marcus, "Mr. Scott, if you have something to say, just say it." Marcus asked her to meet him and said he wanted to exin to her about Paul. She didn''t want toe out and meet with him, but Marcus said there was something else going on there. After thinking about it, she decided to meet with him and hear what he would say. "Miss Elliott, I''m sorry for almost putting you in harm''s way because of my negligence." With a sincere face, Marcus apologized to Violet. Violet took a sip of coffee without making a sound and listened to him. "You must now think Paul was instructed by me to put something in your water to damage your reputation, right?" asked Marcus. Violet raised her eyes, "Mr. Scott, Paul said he was your man. Why would he put something in my water if you didn''t instruct him to?" Chapter 222 Chapter 222 Hearing this, Marcus shook his head, "It was wrong. Miss Elliott, before this, I always thought Paul was my man, but after, I realized that Paul had betrayed me a long time ago." Marcus cried out against it, "He is apparently my man, but in fact he has already colluded with my brother Brooklyn. They deliberately came to this y, in order to frame me! You should know that my brother and I arepeting for the right of inheritance. I''ve already fallen behind because of this." His statement sounded like a real one. Violet listened to him and could not be sure whether what he said was true or not. After all, she wasn''t familiar with the Scotts and didn''t know what their nature really was. But one thing was certain: the brothers were indeed vying for the right to inherit. In order to get the session smoothly, anyone may indulge in petty and mean actions. She, on the other hand, became the innocent victim who was implicated. "Miss Elliott, why don''t you say something? Do you believe my brother Brooklyn and not me?" Marcus saw that Violet did not say anything and asked her a question. Violet put down her coffee cup, "Mr. Scott, honestly, I don''t trust anyone. If you''re done, then I''ll take my leave." It was over and she didn''t want to dig any deeper. She just wanted to keep a distance from the Scotts and had no connection with them again. "Miss Elliott, our cooperation is still valid. I have signed it, and the contract will be effective tomorrow as long as you agree." Marcus handed a contract to Violet. Violet froze and was about to speak when her cell phone on the table rang. She nced at it and saw that it was Louis¡¯ calling. Marcus on the other side also saw the caller ID, and he sipped his coffee with cattiness in his eye. "Excuse me, I have to take a call first." Violet said sorry and then picked up the phone. "Hello, Mr. Johnson?" "Where are you?" "I''m out. Is something wrong?" "Come to the group right away." Violet froze and was about to ask something when Marcus'' voice came to her ear. "Helena, I have some business to take care of, so I''ll go first. The contract is for you. Just sign it and bring it to Greenville tomorrow." Marcus got up and deliberately moved closer to Violet, as if speaking to the person on the other end of the phone. Violet opened her mouth to call out to him, but Marcus was already striding away. Louis'' voice came over the receiver, "Who are you with, Marcus or Brooklyn?" The man''s voice suddenly became deeper, even through the receiver, she can detect his sudden coldness Violet said, "It''s Marcus." The breathing on the receiver was a little heavy, like he was trying to restrain something. After a long time, he said in an aloof voice, "You have 20 minutes left toe to my office immediately." ¡°Pop.¡± He hung up the phone. Violet listened to the beeping sound in the earpiece with a puzzled look on her face. Why was he throwing such a tantrum? Also, why did she have to go to the Johnson Group and listen to him? In the car on the side of the road, Marcus watched Violet drive away, and his mouth turned upwards in a winning smile. Louis heard his voice and should have misunderstood something! "Marcus, how was my n this time? Was it perfect enough?" Grace on the passenger side leaned over and stroked his chest with her hand. Marcus caught her hand and wrapped an arm around her, smiling wickedly, "This time it was done beautifully. I''m satisfied." Grace was pretty smart. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! She first used Luka to get Louis''puter password. Then, he sent someone to sneak into the president''s office of the Johnson Group in the middle of the night and stole the information. The next step was to clear herself of suspicion and make Violet the focus of Louis'' suspicion. The meeting he just had with Violet was also part of the n. He had to make Louis suspect that Violet was helping the Scott Group steal the n in order to get the coboration with Greenville. "So, which one is a better half for you, Jasmine or me?" Grace leaned into Marcus''s arms, still a little bit upset about Marcus and Jasmine being together. Marcus lifted her chin with his index finger and smiled flirtatiously, "Are you jealous again? Didn''t I tell you that I was just using her. The person I love most is of course you." Hearing this, Grace pursed and didn''t continue the conversation. "Marcus, I have checked out the guy who was following Violet. Do you know who he is?" "Who is he?" Chapter 223 Chapter 223 The Johnson Group. Violet knocked on the door and entered. "Mr. Johnson, what can I do for you?" Louis'' eyebrows were sullen and cold. He looked at Violet steadily and slowly got up and came over. The man was tall and somewhat appalling when he was not speaking. Violet unconsciously gripped the file folder in her hand and tilted her head slightly to look at him. Louis'' jaw line was tensed as he reached out and snatched the file out of her hand, flipping out the papers inside. This was a contract just left by Marcus. Louis''s cold breath around her was even heavier. "Violet, you''re going to work with the Scott Group? In order to get this order, you actually stole my n?" What he said left Violet with a stunned look on her face. "What are you talking about? I stole your n? When?" "Don''t admit it? Just in the afternoon the day before yesterday. I saw you sitting in front of myputer with my own eyes! That was the time you stole my n, wasn''t it?" Louis leaned closer to Violet. His tone was cold, and his dark eyes were seeping with chill. Violet controlled the thought of stepping back and just wanted to cry foul. "What n? Mr. Johnson, do you have any evidence? If you don''t have, you can''t nder me with your own words." He actually suspected her? In his heart, was she this kind of woman with no moral? N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Inexplicably, she was bitterly disappointed! "I have no proof, but the fact is in front of me!" Louis stared at Violet, "We and the Scott Group are vying for a partnership with the Rex''s Group. And it just happens that our ns are almost identical." "The Group''s n is on myputer. Without a password, even a top hacker can''t rip it off. So, someone must have stolen the information from theputer." "And the only people who have been to my office in thest few days while I was away are you and Grace ..." Louis slowly borated his point of view. Violet listened attentively, and the disappointment in her heart intensified. "So, you''re quite sure that I stole the n?" Just because she came to his office and sat by hisputer desk, he assumed that she stole the n? Not to mention that the person who came to the office with her was Grace. And he didn''t suspect Grace? And yes, Grace was the mother of his son. Of course he trusted her unconditionally! Unlike her, in his mind, probably she was a person who can lose her morality for money. "Isn''t that you? Didn¡¯t I tell you not to take on the Scott Group''s business? But what are you doing? Do you agree to the Scott'' terms in order to take this order?" Louis frowned and asked back in a deep voice. Looking at the sneer and sadness that came out of Violet''s eyes , his heart was inexplicably tight. He was just reasoning to her, and if she didn''t do it, she could refute it. Why did she look at him with this expression? "Mr. Johnson, please be clear. I have no rtionship with you for a long time. Why should I listen to you and not take the Scott''s business?" Violet gathered her thoughts and pushed down all the emotions in her mind. "No matter what kind of woman you think I am. Whether it''s money-grubbing or trendy, I think I still have some shames and can''t do such a viinous act as stealing." "Besides, even if I were to steal, I wouldn''t be so stupid as to steal confidential documents in front of my child. Mr. Johnson, that''s all I have to say. Believe it or not. And if you don''t, you can call the police and arrest me." Chapter 224 Chapter 224 The woman''s words was frank, calm and had no emotion. Louis looked at her clear face and had panic for a moment. As if there was an invisible gulf separating the two, pulling them apart from their narrowing distance. This was not the result he wanted. Louis'' dark eyes lowered, "Violet, I''m just specting. I don''t really think you did it. I''ll get to the bottom of this." "Okay, so is there anything else, Mr. Johnson? There should be no need to detain me here until you find out the truth, right?" Violet had a calm face. Louis'' brows furrowed and he reached out to shake her shoulder, "Violet ..." "Mr. Johnson, if there''s nothing else, then I''ll leave first." Violet took a step backwards, then turned away. Louis'' hand was still in mid-air. Watching the door close, his fingers slowly curling up. He seemed to have pissed her off! It was killing him! Louis ripped the sp off his shirt and turned around to sit back in his chair. He had no time to care about her feelings for the moment. Because right now he had more important things to do. Rex and the Scott Group hadn''t signed a partnership agreement yet, so he still had a chance! Outside. Violet walked quickly out of thepany and got into her car, unable to maintain the calmness on her face any longer. He suspected her! It was true that he was a terrible person, not worth mentioning. Violet took a deep breath, closed her eyes and let her thoughts go. She was somehow suspected, so she must clear her! Louis said she was the one who stole his n the day before yesterday. And in that day, she inexplicably had a traffic ident. Then, Grace also picked up her daughter to the Johnson Group. She had toe to the group in order to pick up her daughter. When she thought about it, it seemed that someone was intentionally leading her to the group. And this person who lured her here must be the one behind the scenes. Who could it be? The Scott Group''s proposal was the same as the Johnson¡¯s. If Louis lost the chance, the biggest beneficiary will be the Scott. So the person behind this was bound to be Marcus or Brooklyn. But the person who drew her here ... Violet thought about it, and Grace''s image shed through her mind. Grace''s behavior that day was perverse, wasn''t it? Their rtionship was not that good, so why would Grace pick up her daughter for her for no reason? So, it was Grace who tried to lure her to the group. Could it be that Grace and the Scott family conspired to frame her for the theft? Violet was shocked by this spection of her own. She thought she guessed wrong, right? Grace gave birth to a son for Louis. There was no way she would help the Scotts against Louis! Violet was puzzled. Her eyes fell on the file folder to the side. She fell silent and made a phone call to Marcus. "Mr. Scott, I''m sorry, but I''ve decided not to take on the Greenville¡¯s business." It was a bit of pity, but she didn¡¯t want to take Scott''s business anywhere. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. She didn¡¯t want to get into the mess! Hanging up the phone, Violet was silent and took out her phone to look up the Rex''s Group''s information. Although she had nothing to do with the loss of the Johnson Group, she was one of the parties involved. If it can be remedied, won''t it be a proof that the theft of the n had nothing to do with her? Violet went to the official website of the Rex''s Group and found out that the noblewoman she had helped, Bianca, was the wife of Rex! Violet''s eyes shed with consternation. A momentter, shepressed her lips and called Bianca. She was going to try to talk to Bianca and see if there was any leeway! Chapter 225 Chapter 225 Louis asked Harry to check Rex''s whereabouts, while he settled down to redid a n. Time was too short, and he looked at the redone n with a frown. He was not satisfactory with this n. He wanted to meet with Rex again and found a way to convince him to work with him. But with this newly made n alone, he had no chance of winning. Rex was not the one who would go back on his word. If he didn''t have a strong evidence that his proposal was giarized by the Scott Group, he could only let the Scott to take the contract. Louis lifted his wristwatch to check the time, got up and walked out the door. He went to pick up his son, and maybe he could get some clues from him. When he arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten, Grace had just arrived as well. She saw Louis with a sh of surprise in her eyes. "Louis, are you here to pick up Luka?" Louis'' dark eyes swept over her with a hint of cold sharpness. "Hmm." The n was stolen and Grace was suspected. Could it be that she knew the password to theputer and told someone else? "Uncle Louis." Erin and Luka ran out of the kindergarten and saw Louis, who was tall and leggy. At first nce, they gave a cheerful shout. Louis'' eyebrows softened and he reached out and picked her up. "School''s out?" "Yes." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Erin hugged Louis''s neck with an intimate look. "Erin." Josie walked over and smiled towards Louis, "Mr. Johnson is here too." "Hmm." It was Josie who came to pick up Erin today. Louis nced behind her with disappointment in his eyes. He expected to meet Violet. But he guessed she would treat him with a bad attitude when she met her now. "Erin, let''s go and say goodbye to uncle." Josie took Erin from Louis and prepared to leave. "Goodbye uncle Louis." Erin waved her hand reluctantly to Louis. Louis smiled and watched the two get into the car. "Louis, where are we going now?" Grace looked at the side of Louis'' face and asked with a smile. Louis withdrew his eyes and hugged Luka to the car. "I''ll ask my son something. You can go back to the apartment first." He wanted to ask Luka something! She thought it must be a question about what happened in that afternoon. Grace''s eyes twinkled as she watched the car drive away, and the corners of her mouth turned upwards. She arranged it seamlessly, and now that things were set in stone, Louis can''t find out anything. In the car, Louis looked at Luka, "Luka, the afternoon in dad''s office, did you tell someone the password of theputer?" Luka blinked and shook her head, "No." "No one was told? Your mommy didn''t know it either?" "I didn''t tell anyone, and neither did mommy." Luka thought for a moment and looked sure, "Mommy specifically told me that daddy''sputer might have confidential files and I can''t tell anyone the password." Did Grace specifically tell Luka about that? Louis was thinking. "So when you used theputer, did anyone get close enough to theputer to look at the files on it?" Luka thought for a moment, "Aunt Violet and I did homework together for Erin, but neither of us ever looked at the files on theputer." It was Violet again! It seemed that all the evidence pointed to her! Only she was suspected. Louis was silent, trying to clear his thought. "Dad, did you lose important files from yourputer?" Chapter 226 Chapter 226 Luka looked at Louis with a serious face and asked. Louis returned to his senses and stroked his little head, "Nothing." He now regretted a little that he did not install surveince cameras in his office. Otherwise it would be easy to find out the thief. Surveince cameras! Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly as something shed through his mind. At that moment, his cell phone rang. It was Harry''s call. "Mr. Johnson, Rex is now heading towards the Pce Hotel. And his wife is meeting with Miss Elliott." Bianca was meeting with Violet at the hotel? Was it a coincidence, or ... ? Louis responded and was about to hang up the phone, but thought of something, "Harry, from the afternoon to the evening of the day before yesterday. Send me the surveince video of corridor of my office." He was going to recheck the surveince. Since someone knew the password, then the theft must have entered the office and tuened on the His office was not equipped with cameras, but the outside was filled with them, so maybe he can find out a little useful information. "Okay." Harry quickly sent the surveince video to Louis'' phone. By this time, they had arrived at Balridge Manor. Louis dropped Luka off at the manor and instructed the driver to go to Pce Hotel. Pce Hotel. Violet took it upon herself to make another children''s meal for Bianca''s son. Bianca''s eyes were full of smile as she watched her son eating happily. "Helena, it''s still your cooking that suits my son''s appetite." Hearing this, Violetughed and said, "Why? I haven¡¯t seen Anthony for few days. He looks like he has gained much weight. You must have cooked tasty food for him." "That''s true." Bianca looked over at Violet, "It''s not quite as good as your cooking, but Anthony can finally eat better than he used to. His dad and I have been talking about thanking you for it." They were thankful for her! So if she made a request now, will Bianca think that she was helping her for ulterior motives? But even so, she had to toughen herself to ask for a favor, right? Violet was pondering, then she turned to Bianca and said, "Bianca, in fact, I asked you out today because I have something to ask you for a favor." "Oh? What is it?" Bianca asked as she took care of her son. That was when Rex came along. "Bianca." Bianca looked up, smiled, and pointed to Violet, "Honey, this is Helena. You''ve been wanting to thank her, haven''t you? You''ve seen her in person today. Is she as beautiful and talented as I described?" Hearing this, Rex had a smile on his face. "Yes indeed, you have always had an eye for talent. Miss Elliott, it¡¯s a pleasure to meet you." Rex was in his forties with a good temperament. And he looked very young. "I''ve heard a lot about Mr. Wood. And I''m honored to have a chance to meet you and Bianca. Just call me Helena." Violet greeted him respectfully. After the three of them exchanged a few words of courtesy, Bianca looked at Violet, "By the way Helena, didn''t you just say you had a request? What exactly is it? You can tell us. As long as we can, Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! we will definitely help you." Bianca remembered what Violet had said, which Violet was grateful about that. "Mr. Wood, the Johnson Group and the Scott Group arepeting for a project of the Rex''s Group, right? Now that the Johnson''s project has been giarized, I hope Mr. Wood will re-evaluate the qualifications of the twopanies and see who should be chosen as your partner." Chapter 227 Chapter 227 Hearing Violet''s words, Mr. Wood and Mrs. Wood looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces were subsided. "Helena, are you saying that Scott Group is giarizing the idea from the Johnson? Do you have proof of that?" Violet shook her head, "I have no proof, but I trust Mr. Johnson. He''s not a sore loser and won''t nder people at will." Although Louis doubted her, she knew his conduct. She was actually putting in a good word for him! "Helena, you have helped my wife, and I do appreciate it. But it''s about the growth of thepany. I can''t dismiss the Scott Group and work with the Johnson just because of your words." Rex said with some difficulty. "Mr. Wood, I don''t mean to force you. I just think that cooperation is also like making friends. Only when N?velDrama.Org holds this content. like-minded people are together, the road ahead can go farther. I hope you can reconsider the partner and at least give Mr. Johnson a chance to rify." Violet looked at Rex, "I''m sure Mr. Wood won¡¯t want your future partner to be someone who likes to do dishonest practices. Otherwise, during the cooperation, if two sides do not agree one day, it will be easy to have problems, right?" Her words were calm with wisdom. Rex listened thoughtfully. Bianca beside him spoke up at the right time, "I think Helena has a good point. I hate people who do crooked things. Honey, why don''t you go get Mr. Johnson and see what evidence he has to prove that his n is giarized by the Scott." His own wife spoke up, and Rex did not raise any further objections. At that moment, Louis'' voice rang out. "Mr. Wood, Mrs. Wood, good afternoon." Here he was. Violetpressed her lips and did not raise her eyes. Louis looked at her and saw that she didn''t even watch him, and smiled helplessly. It looked like she''d pretty pissed off at him. "Mr. Johnson, you''re just in time. Helena was just talking to me about this n." Rex gestured for Louis to sit down, "She said that your n was giarized. Is that true?" Violet met with Bianca to talk about it as expected. Louis stared at Violet, and softness shed in his eyes. "There is such a thing. Mr. Wood, I have brought the evidence. You can see it." Louis turned theputer on and turned to Rex. "Mr. Wood, this is how I created the document. And the time marks on it show the whole process of making my n. You can watch this video again." Louis clicked on another file and yed a video. In the video, a man, fully armed, furtively opened the door and entered the office. The time was 1 a.m. yesterday. "This video shows that someone sneaked into my office and stole something. I don''t have any cameras in my office, so I didn''t capture any direct evidence of him stealing my n. But it also indirectly proves that my n might have been giarized. So Mr. Wood, I hope you can suspend your cooperation with the Scott and give me another chance." The giarist thoughtfully erased even the surveince video in the corridor for nearly ten minutes. But they didn''t know that he was aputer whiz himself. After he repeatedly checked the video, he still found out the clue and recovered the video. Rex finished watching the video, frowning slightly, "Mr. Johnson, it doesn¡¯t mean that I''m not willing to believe you. But to catch the thief and take the spoils, you still have no direct evidence to prove that the Scott Group giarized your n." In other words, he will still choose to work with the Scott Group? Chapter 228 Chapter 228 Louis'' thin lips werepressed and he was speechless for a moment. Violet, who was beside, also felt disappointed. At this point, Rex opened his mouth again. "However, for the sake of Helena''s help, I can give you another chance. Until tomorrow night, as long as you can produce a n that is better, I will give this cooperation to you." His words that lifted the spirits of both Louis and Violet. "Okay, Mr. Wood, thank you for your trust. Don''t worry. I will give you a satisfactory answer." Louis solemnly promised. Rex waved his hand, "No need to thank me. If you want to do it, thank Helena. I heard she is your ex- wife? Such a good wife, but Mr. Johnson did not cherish her." Rex joked, and Bianca alsoughed, "Yes, Mr. Johnson, once she heard that yourpany had an ident, she is faster than you. How can you give up such capable woman?" The couple echoed each other and Louis gazed at Violet, "I am the one who is not blessed. I would love for Violet to give me another chance to pursue her again." The man''s tone was low and slow, with a hint of sincerity and apology. Violetpressed her lips and looked at Mr. Wood and Mrs. Wood. "Mr. Wood, Bianca, don''t misunderstand. I came to you because Mr. Johnson suspected that I leaked the n. I just want to prove that I am not a thief. Nothing else. It''s gettingte. I''ll leave you to your meal. Bianca. I''ll be in touch with you." Her heart was cold and she didn''t want to have any more dealings with Louis. Violet finished, nodded slightly at Mr. Wood and Mrs. Wood, and turned to leave. Louisughed helplessly, said a few words to Mr. Wood and Mrs. Wood, and then quickly followed her. "Violet, wait a minute." Hearing Louis'' voice, Violet stopped in her tracks. "Is there anything else, Mr. Johnson?" The woman looked detached and aloof. Louis'' heart was like being scratched. It was hard. "I''m sorry. I shouldn''t have doubted you, and I apologize." "No need, Mr. Johnson. In the future I will be careful with my words and keep a certain distance from you. Of course, I would like you to do the same, so that it is better for everyone." Violet said in a light voice, then quickly got into the car. The car started and sped away. Louis had a slight headache. She got angry and wanted to keep a distance from him. What should he do? With a slight sigh, he thought of something, took out his cell phone, and called Harry. "Harry, find the man in ck who sneaked into the office as soon as possible. I want to know who is actually meeting with him!" There was a traitor in thepany. He had to find the traitor who came between he and Violet! Violet returned to the studio. Erin was ying with her tablet in her office. Violet nced at it, and her eyes were shing slightly. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. "Erin, tell mommy what Luka''s mommy was doing the day before yesterday when we went to uncle Louis'' office." Although she currently had rified herself that she was not the person who stole the n, she can''t rest easy until she found out who this person was for one day. Always, she felt Grace was suspicious. Could it be that she was working with someone else? Chapter 229 Chapter 229 Hearing Violet''s question, Erin blinked her big eyes. "Auntie was in the office with us. She asked Luka to call uncle Louis for the password, and then ..." Erin methodically told the day''s situation in a clear manner. Violet listened carefully, "Didn''t she finish the homework with Luka?" "No." "Did Luka tell her the password?" "No. Auntie specifically asked Luka that he cannot tell it to others, so I don''t know either." Erin answered her question, and Violet''s eyebrows furrowed in thought. Was she overthinking it? Grace especially instructed Luka not to tell people the password, but she felt that the act was deliberate. It was as if she deliberately didn¡¯t let herself be involved in it. And why was it Luka who called Louis when he asked for theputer password? And not her? But if it was true that she and someone else stole the n, what did she do it for? The scene she saw at the Pce Hotel shed in her mind. Grace saw she was standing with Marcus, and she looked at her with hostility. Did it mean that the person Grace really liked was Marcus? Therefore, Grace stole the n to help Marcus? Violet was taken aback by her own bold guess. What were you thinking about? Violet asked herself. Grace was Luka¡¯s mother, and Luka was Louis¡¯ son. How could she liked Marcus when she would be the future matriarch of the Johnson family? Forget it! Her suspicion had been ruled out anyway, and she didn''t want to meddle with Louis'' business any more. Violet''s mind was spinning, leaving the matter behind for the time being. The Johnson Group. Louis revised the newly made proposal overnight and sent it to Rex. The good news came the next afternoon. Rex officially decided to sign a letter of intent with the Johnson Group. Violet was relieved to hear this news. Anyway, things came to a sessful conclusion. The Scott Group. Marcus got the news and his face was extremely gloomy. "How could this happen? Wasn''t the nail in the coffin? Rex has already decided to work with us. Why did he reach an agreement with Louis towards the end?" Marcus gave a rant to his assistant who came in to report on his work, mming the file down on him hard. The assistant shivered and waited for Marcus to finish his rant, and said warily, "I heard that we had a simr n with the Johnson. Violet and Rex''s wife are friends, and she convinced Rex at the Pce Hotel yesterday to buy Louis time to redo a n. " Violet! She''s the one who''s doing it! Marcus had a gloomy face and his eyes were full of hostility. At that moment, his phone rang. Marcus told his assistant to get out and then looked at his phone. The phone call was from Grace, and Marcus'' already gloomy face was covered in gloom. "Marcus, I heard that the Rex''s Group signed Louis! How did that happen!" Grace''s incredible voice came over the current. Marcus smiled coldly, "Grace, I think you are a shit-eater! You don''t know that Violet and Rex''s wife have a friendship, and you didn''t know that they met at the Pce Hotel yesterday, so tell me, what use do I need you as an inside man!" The man''s voice was cold and full of violence. Grace choked and was scolded with an alternating green and white face. She bit her lip and changed the subject, "Marcus, so it was Violet who spoiled it for us?" "Yes, this woman is a real eyesore!" Marcus squeezed out. Grace hurriedly said, "Marcus, don''t worry, someone is following Violet, right? He must be trying to kill her, let''s just wait and see what happens." Hearing this, Marcus smiled coldly again. "Grace, how many times do I have to say it? I don''t want Violet to look good, I want The Johnson Group to be annexed! This cooperation project is yellow, do you know how much I was beaten in front of Deacon?"Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Chapter 230 Chapter 230 Full of expectation will be Deacon high regard, but did not want, hit the face came like a tornado! "Marcus, just because a partnership is yellow doesn''t mean that The Johnson Group will be able to run the rest of the business smoothly." Grace''s eyes shed, "If something went wrong between the two of them during the partnership, do you think that Rex would discontinue the partnership?" Hearing this, Marcus''s furious look slowly calmed down. "You mean, we can make a little move in their next coboration?" "Yes! Since they signed the contract, then Rex will definitely open an auction at the hotel right away. Aren''t I at the hotel? When the timees, we''ll just work together from the inside and find a way to mess up the event." Grace ising up with ideas, trying desperately to redeem herself in Marcus''s mind. Marcus raised an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth curved into a cold arc. "Grace, you''re right. I don''t really me you for this, I just hope you don''t let me down again next." "Don''t worry, Marcus, I will help you achieve your heart''s desire." Grace finally got Marcus to settle down and hung up the phone with a long sigh of relief. I didn''t expect Violet to know Rex''s wife, and eventually helped Louis get the contract and clear his name. And will Louis doubt himself? Violet, what a nemesis for her! She must find a way to get rid of this woman who is an eyesore! Friday night. Violet took her daughter, and Josie and others to Oceanview Resort. The lodge covers a vast area and has a full range of amusement programs. It is a famous resort in Crotosi City. Erin was the most excited, and after Isaac helped them set up the room, she dragged Violet out to y. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Okay, I''ll call Josie mommy." Violet smiles and goes to knock on the door of Josie''s room. "Josie, Evie, are you guys done?" Isaac had booked three rooms for them early in the morning. He has one room for himself, she and her daughter have one room, and Josie and Evie have one room. "Here ites." The door was opened and Josie and Evie came out. "Sis, I''ll go get Isaac." Evie goes next door and knocks on Isaac''s door. At that moment, the door at the end of the corridor opened and two people came out of it. Violet nced at it without thinking, and her eyes shed with surprise. It''s Austin and Ciara. Looks like they are here on vacation too? The two still walk out of a room, this rtionship is progressing so fast! "Tch, a vacation and I still run into this woman! What bad luck." Josie also saw Austin and Ciara and ruffled her hair in mockery. As they approached, she waved towards Austin, "Hi, Mr. Evison, we''re so lucky to run into each other on vacation." The woman has arge wavy volume lightly gathered on the side, crooked head smiling extraordinarily charming. Austin was a little dazed and looked at her for a moment without words. The smile on Ciara''s face at the sight of Josie has been curbed. Without a nce, his face changed even more when he saw Austin''s dazed look. Josie the coquette, how to hit everywhere she is! Chapter 231 Chapter 231 "You''re here on vacation too?" Austin finished frothing and resumed his nobleman look. "Yes! Want to join us?" Josie looked at Ciara, who had turned pale, and asked in a deliberately delicate voice. "No need." "Yes." Ciara and Austin spoke up at the same time. Josie smiled brightly, "Mr. Evison, so is it together or not? I see your girlfriend seems very unhappy, does she disdain to hang out withmoners like us! Tsk, so Mr. Evison likes snobs, huh?" Austin "..." This woman, talk is not the usual sharp! Not only did she scold Ciara, but she brought herself into it. Austinughed and looked over at Ciara, "Ciara, don''t you care to y with them?" Can she say yes when he asks that? Ciara was so angry that she could barely keep her face taut, and she forced a smile out of her face as she resisted the idea of scolding Josie. "No matter, I''m just afraid of disturbing Miss Scott and the others. Since they''re not afraid to disturb, let''s get together." She listened to her sister Jessie and had a hard time encouraging Austin toe out on vacation. I just want to spend a beautiful world together tonight, and then cook the rice with Austin. I never expected to meet Josie! This coquette, again, has hooked Austin''s soul! "Mr. Evison, what a coincidence." At that moment, Isaac also came out of the room, smiling and greeting Austin. Austin and he nodded slightly and watched as he picked up Erin, raising an eyebrow. He remembers that this Isaac is interested in Violet, right? Now that a few people havee on vacation, is Isaac taking the opportunity to woo Violet? Should he tell Louis about this? Thinking, Austin took out his phone and took a picture of the backs of several people and sent it to Louis. "Louis, don''t you want to join in the fun?" On the other end of the phone, Louis was still busy with his work. When he saw the photo sent by Austin, his dark eyes narrowed. Violet is back with Isaac? Didn''t she promise him that she would keep her distance from Isaac?Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Dare you not keep your word? Louis'' breath sank as he typed a line and sent it over. "Where is it?" "Oceanview Resort." I can''t believe I went on vacation! Louis'' long fingers tapped on the desktop, and then dialed Luka''s number. "Luka, want to go see Aunt Violet and Erin?" Louis should still be angry, but no matter how angry he is, he can''t fail to keep his word! The end of the phone. Ciara took Austin''s arm and nced at Austin''s phone, "Austin, who are you texting, Mr. Johnson?" "Yes! I''ll wait for my mouthy brother toe along for the ride." Austin responded casually. Louis ising too! It''s hrious enough. Ciara''s good mood waspletely shattered. She said deliberately, "Austin, what''s wrong with Mr. Johnson''s mouth? I heard that he stood up for Josie''s daughter in the kindergarten before. Hearing this, Austin nced at her coldly and jerked his arm out. "What''s this nonsense? The person he likes is Violet." "Like that? I thought he liked Josie!" Ciara pretended to be envious, "After all, Josie is so flirtatious looking that it seems like men like that type of her. I just don''t know what kind of man Josie likes, it must be like her daughter''s real father." This is as close as she gets to explicitly saying that Josie likes to hook up. Austin looked at Josie in front of him and saw her smiling as she pulled Isaac and teased Erin, who was being held by him, and his eyebrows frowned involuntarily. This Josie, it seems, is really casual. Married and divorced casually. Chapter 232 Chapter 232 Then casually had a baby with someone. Now it doesn''t matter if you are sleeping with yourself. This woman, really let people speechless. Ciara looked at Austin without saying anything, but her eyes were fixed straight on Josie, and she cursed Josie in her heart. This coquette, so want to tear her! Front. Isaac led a few people to an open-air barbecue stand. "Violet, how about we feed ourselves tonight?" "That''s fine." Violet had noment and looked around. The estate has set aside a barbecue area exclusively for visitors to barbecue. Ingredients are being supplied by businesses, and there are already many tourists around who have bought the ingredients and are doing the grilling. The rising heat mixed with the sound of people is very lively. "Mr. Evison, we''re ready for a barbecue! What do you say?" Josie asked with a smile when she saw that Austin and Ciara had actually followed them. "Didn''t we say we''d y together? You want to go back on your word?" Austin asked with a raised eyebrow. "Why not? I think Mr. Evison is too noble to do this kind of work." Josie took the ingredients Isaac bought and shook them. "Underestimating me so much? Want to make a bet then?" Austin hooked his lips and gave a provocative smile. "What''s the bet?" "Let''s bet on whose barbecue is better, mine or yours. The loser has to agree to one condition for the other. miss Scott, do you dare?" Josie was irritated by the man''s provocative look. "Just bet, I''m still afraid of you! Violet, you''ll be the judge." "If you can''t have someone you know as a judge, ask someone else to be a judge." "Just do it." Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "..." The two men said they would do it and started tinkering with it. Ciara watched the scene, smelled the smell of grease in the air, and was so angry that her face changed again and again. A good two-person world bes someone else''s entertainment! Josie, why is she so shameless! Ciara wanted to go up and help, but looked at the dirty, greasy grill and turned back. Really, she is a nobledy, why do you want to do barbecue ah! Ciara pulled out her phone in exasperation and sent a message to Jessie. "Sis, I''m going to be pissed off ..." Meanwhile, Jessie is looking for Oscar in the clubhouse. Pushing open the door of a private room, I saw Oscar was straddling a young model dressed in a cool dress. There were several men sitting on the side, each holding a woman. "Bitch, get down here!" Jessie''s face twisted as she pulled the woman off Oscar''sp and gave her a hard p. The woman let out an ahhh and fell to the ground, covering her face and looking at her. Jessie''s chest rose and fell, and she looked at Oscar and said, "Oscar, what are you doing? Didn''t you say you were talking to someone about something? Is this how you talk?" Oscar nced at her, got up and pulled the woman up from the floor, asking with concern, "Does it hurt?" "Director Oscar, I''m in pain." The woman beamed in resignation and leaned into Oscar''s arms. Oscar soothed in a soft voice,pletely ignoring Jessie. Jessie''s face twisted for a moment, looking at the woman''s flirtatious side, her fingernails almost pinching into her flesh. This woman is an up-anding young model who looks quite a bit like Josie. Did Oscar take this woman as a stand-in for Josie! Since his marriage, he has never been this recklessly flirtatious. It is because of thest incident that made him change his attitude towards himself. It''s all Josie''s fault! Chapter 233 Chapter 233 "Little bitch, who are you pouting at? Get over here!" Jessie threw her anger at the young model and reached out to yank the woman out. Oscar swatted her hand away and shielded the young model in his arms. "Jessie you''ve had enough, look at you now, look like you''re a shrew!" And he said she looked like a shrew? Jessie''s eyes were red with anger, "Oscar, what do you want? Do you remember that I''m your wife?" "Wife? Jessie, I''d like to ask you, do you remember that you''re my wife?" Oscar snorted coldly, his eyes full of mockery. The young model in her arms was on fire, "Director Oscar, of course she doesn''t remember, if she did, how could she have hooked up behind your back?" "Bitch, keep your mouth shut, who''s hooking up?" Jessie screamed in anger. "Whoever screams louder is who! If you don''t behave yourself, how can you have the face to control your husband?" "And you know that''s my husband?" "..." "That''s enough!" Oscar interrupted the fight between the two and looked at Jessie coldly, "Jessie, don''t be insensitive, can''t you see we''re talking about something? If you still want to be my Oscar''s wife, get your ass home. Otherwise, we''ll get a divorce tomorrow." Anyway, the y will be killed soon, and he does not have to hold back any longer. Watching Oscar unconcernedly put his arms around the young model and sat on the wine table, Jessie N?velDrama.Org holds this content. was exasperated and cried. "Oscar, you bastard!" She can''t get a divorce yet! Because thest negative news has just been suppressed not long ago, she can''t be exposed to another scandal! She could only hold back! Jessie left the booth with hatred, mming the door behind her with a ping. Standing in the hallway, thinking about the source of it all, she just wanted to rip Josie apart. A few messages came in on her phone, and she calmed down and pulled it out to read them. Several messages were sent by my sister Ciara. She''s using Josie. There were several photos attached inside the message. In the photo, it is Josie and Violet several people together in a barbecue. Jessie looked at Josie with a smile on her face and a strong sh of hatred in her eyes. Josie, the bitch, messed up her life and now she''s off to steal her sister''s boyfriend? "Ciara, Oceanview Resort is surrounded by mountains on all sides, if people fall down identally, they will be crippled even if they don''t die!" They should be taught a lesson if they dare to steal their the Shaws'' man! Jessie''s eyes were full of ruthlessness. At this time, a woman''s voice came from not far away, "Yo, isn''t this Jessie? Why are you in such a mess?" Jessie looked up and saw Jasmineing out of a private room and walking towards her in style. Jessie put away her phone, straightened her dress, and reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth. "Jasmine, you''re here too." "Yes, I''m meeting up with some friends. And you? Out looking for your Director Oscar, right?" Jasmine said meaningfully. Jessie''s face shifted for a moment and she forced a smile. When the news came outst time, all the people were looking at her funny. It''s all Josie''s fault! "To say the least, you and I are kind of a difficult sister. You were pitted by Josie, I was pitted by Violet. You have a red light in your marriage, and I have a red light in my career, so Josie and Violet are a pair of broomsticks." Jasmine grimaced and spat. Jessie''s eyes moved slightly as she took out her phone and tapped on a photo Ciara had just sent her. Chapter 234 Chapter 234 "Jasmine, look, these two bitches have screwed us over, and they''re making a go of it themselves. Do I remember your brother pretending to be affectionate to his wife and divorcing Violet because of a woman from four years ago? Could it be that now he''s backtracked and wants to remarry Violet?" It was Louis who rescued Violet from the indst time. Now, they are going out for a barbecue together, are they really going to remarry? She certainly didn''t want to see that happen and hoped someone would go and spoil it a bit. Jasmine took Jessie''s phone and looked at Louis and Luka, who appeared in the photo, with a cold glint in her eyes. "We''ll see, it won''t be that easy for Violet to remarry into The Johnson Family." Grace, the idiot, didn''t catch Louis'' heart at all! She had to remind her! "Jessie, my friend is still waiting for me, I''ll go in first and get in touch haha." "Good." Jessie nodded, when her phone rang. It was Ciara who called. Jessie picked up, "Ciara." "Sis, what do you mean? Is it that you want me to teach Josie a lesson?" "Ciara, people are climbing on top of us and taking a dump, and you''re still holding back?" "Of course I can''t bear it! Sister, what should I do?" "..." Upscale apartments. Grace was entertaining Uncle Philip and her own cousin, Betty Bailey, when she received the call from Jasmine. "Grace, do you not want to be Mrs. Johnson anymore? If you don''t want to be, talk to me before it''s too Jasmine''s mocking voice came over the current. Grace''s eyes shed with boredom, "Miss Johnson, why do you say that? How could I not want to be? I''ve been dreaming about it for years." "You want to be Mrs. Johnson, why don''t you watch Louis a little? Did you know that he took Luka on a rendezvous with Violet and Luka today?" Grace was surprised, "Where did they go?" "Oceanview Resort. grace, you have to be on top of my brother." Jasmine hung up the phone after she finished. Grace gripped the phone tightly, the corners of her mouth curled up in a cold arc. Violet had just helped Louis get a big deal and couldn''t let their rtionship heat up again. Gotta find a way to sabotage! "Grace, do you have something to do, then your sister and I will leave first." Philip saw Grace was dazed and spoke up. Grace looked back at Betty and the corners of her mouth curved up. "Betty, we haven''t seen each other in a while, why don''t we go on a vacation." ... Oceanview Resort BBQ area. Looking at the sudden appearance of Louis father and son, Violet was a little surprised. The man is dressed in casual clothes, less a few cold and serious, more casual, but still handsome without S. In the warm yellow light, he stood with his long body, instantly attracting the attention of the crowd. Austin greeted him and he nodded and his eyes moved to hers. Violet averted her eyes in a hurry. Told you to keep your distance from him! But ... "Uncle Louis, Luka, you''re here too!" Erin joyfully ran towards Louis and opened her arms towards him. Louis hooked his lips in a smile and picked her up. Luka''s eyes shone brightly at his feet as she ran towards Violet. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! "Aunt Violet, good evening." Dad actually brought him on vacation with Aunt Violet! So cheerful! "Good evening, Luka." Violet stroked the little one''s little head. Louis came alone so she could keep her distance from him. But with an extra little one, can she really keep her distance from Louis? Chapter 235 Chapter 235 Louis walked over to Violet with Erin in his arms and said hello. "Good evening." The man''s voice was soft, Violet didn''t look at him, and after returning a good evening in a soft voice, she brought Luka something to eat. "Luka, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?" "Aunt Violet, I want to bake it myself." "Yes! Luka is great!" Louis'' thin lips pursed as he looked at Violet''s still cold and distant look towards himself. "Uncle Louis, did you make Mommy mad?" Erin''s big eyes rolled and she bit her ear with Louis. The creamy scent of the nose, Louis curled his lips, not denying. "Uncle Louis, mommy is very easy to coax, you bake her something delicious, she will not be angry." Erin cocked her head and gave Louis an idea. Louis raised his eyebrows and hooked his lips in a smile, "Okay, let''s go to the barbecue." Eat someone else''s mouth, just listen to the little guy for once. Louis looked at the barbecue stand and walked straight towards Austin''s barbecue table. "Let me." "OK, I''ll let you." Austin was almost done grilling, so he picked up the skewers that were sitting aside and gave way to Josie who was also almost done grilling. The two men were still betting when Austin walked over with a raised sword brow. "Miss Scott, can we show the results now?" Josie raised the food in her hand and smiled brightly, "Of course!" The two men looked around and started looking for judges. "Little sister, can you help be a judge? Let''s see who tastes a little better when we both bake." Austin walked up to a girl and spoke courteously. The young woman was ttered when she saw Austin''s handsome looks and his umon temperament. She blushed and took a bite of the skewer Austin handed her, then tasted Josie''s, then pointed at Austin. "You taste a little better when you bake." Hearing this, Austin raised an eyebrow towards Josie and smiled smugly. Josie was unconvinced, "It''s just a taste of one, find it again." "Fine, I''ll be there for the end." The two approached a few more people and each one said Austin''s grill was delicious. How is that possible? Josie couldn''t believe it and looked over and realized that the people tasting were young women. "Mr. Evison, you''re shameless, picking women as judges!" This man is good-looking, girls have long been charmed by him! Even if he bakes badly, they will say he bakes well! He actually sold his sex! So shady! "Miss Scott, it''s obvious that I''m the better yer! If you lose, you lose, you have to ept the bet, what, can''t afford to lose?" Austin also does not exin, looking at Josie''s face stained with cigarette ash, eyebrows smiling. "You don''t need to provoke me, isn''t it just a loss? Tell me, what conditions do you want me to promise you?" Josie rolled her eyes and shot back. Austin smiled lightly, "Come here." "What for?" "Come over and find out, won''t you?" Josie walked up to him with a suspicious look on her face. Austin raised his hand and brushed his fingertips across her smooth skin, wiping the soot off her face. Josie looked at Austin''s smiling eyes in a daze, and her heart suddenly missed a beat. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. This man, so demonic looking! Not far away, Ciara, who had been plotting with Grace, turned her head and saw the two looking at each other with affection, and was furious. Josie the coquette, she must make her look good! Chapter 236 Chapter 236 Violet helped Luka build a hand for the barbecue. Looking at the little guy''s excitement, she smiled andplimented him. When the little one heard thepliment, he baked more vigorously. Violet curled her lips and subconsciously looked to the side. Louis is tall and leggy standing in front of the grill, fiddling with the skewers in his hands. The sleeves of the dress were rolled up a bit, and the small arms exposed were softly glowing in the light. His movements were not skilled, but because of his reserved stance, it added a bit of sexiness. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. As Erin chattered away, he chuckled and returned the conversation with a chuckle. What a loving picture. Violet was in a daze when Isaac''s voice came to her ears, "Violet, try the grilled shrimp, your favorite." Violet looked back and smiled slightly towards him, "Thank you." "What''s polite." Isaac nced at Louis, touched the nce he cast, and gave him a slight nod. Louis looked at the food in Violet''s hand, and then at the kielbasa he was about to grill. "Erin, send it over to your mommy so she can taste Uncle''s cooking." "Okay ta." Erin dly took the sausage and ran to Violet''s side on short legs. "Mommy, Uncle Louis baked this for you! Try it!" Baked for her! Is it to make amends to her? She wouldn''t dare to ept it! Violet pursed her lips and took the kielbasa from her daughter''s hand with some hesitation. Probably because she was distracted, her hand slipped and the kielbasa fell directly to the floor. "Kielbasa drop." Erin blinked with a look of pity. At that moment, I don''t know which guest''s dog scurried over and took the sausage away. Violet "..." She didn''t mean to do it. Definitely the Lord did it for her! Louis watched as his hard-earned baked goods were fed to the dogs, and his handsome face darkened. This woman, is she doing it on purpose! What about resisting his apology in this way! "Evie, keep an eye on Erin and Luka for me while I go to the bathroom." Violet didn''t have to look to feel the death stare Louis was casting and just wanted to disappear for a while. She spoke to Evie and then walked in the direction of the bathroom. Louis stared at her back and followed in stride. The restrooms on the property are quite far away. As Violet followed the signs and passed through a wooded area, she nced over her shoulder and saw Ciara talking to an unknown man. Ciara gestured for a moment, then the man pulled out his phone and let Ciara scan it. How is this a bit like making a deal? Violet, hidden behind a tree, watched the scene, pondering. "Looking at what?" The man''s low maic voice came to his ears. Violet was startled and turned around sharply to see Louis'' handsome face close at hand. "Why are you walking without a sound? It scares me to death." Louis''s dark eyes set, he moved closer to her and enveloped Violet in his arms. "So easily frightened, you do loss of heart?" The man was so close, so close that she could touch his thin lips if she tiptoed upwards gently. The image of their lips on each other shed in her mind, and Violet''s face heated up as she reached out to push him away. "Who has done something wrong? You''re the one who did something wrong!" Louis rippled and reached out to sp her slender hand. "Didn''t do anything wrong? Then why did you break your promise ande on vacation with Isaac? Violet, even if you''re angry with me, you shouldn''t break your promise." The man''s body was close to hers, and the warm breath he exhaled spilled onto her face, stirring up the slightest tickle. Violet''s heart beat inexplicably faster and she just wanted to run away from him. "I didn''t break my promise, Mr. Johnson, so please let go of me first." "Violet, first you give me an exnation." "The exnation is that I''m setting him up with my cousin, Mr. Johnson, can you let go of me now?" Violet just felt her face burn as much as she could, barely keeping herposure. The night is long, and the faint light of the streetmp casts a circle of silhouette. Louis looked at Violet''s clear face, reached out and cupped her chin and slowly leaned in. "Violet, my kisses, you don''t hate them do you?" Violet "..." Chapter 237 Chapter 237 The lively campfire started and Josie took the two well-fed little ones over there to y. The campfire lit up the faces of the crowd andughter abounded. Austin looked at Josie''s bright and beautiful face and took a sip of his beer. On the side, Ciara squeezed a paper towel and wiped the chair with a disgusted look. Hold on! Wait, Josie will look good! Violet returned to the barbecue stand, a pretty face still tinged with red. "Sister, you''re back! Eat something quickly!" Evie smiled and handed Violet her food. "Thanks." Violet said thank you. Evie looked at her and blinked, "Sis, are you hot? Your face is so red." Violet "..." She''s not hot, she''s bashful! Louis kissed her when he said he would, leaving her with no room to resist! "Probably running too fast." Violet was vague, ncing from side to side and changing the subject, "Where are Erin and the others?" "They''re going over there to dance! Sister, eat, eat and we''ll go y too." Evie pointed to where the campfire was burning and said with a smile. "Good." Violet smiled and ate the food in her hand. Isaac looked at her quietly, and then at Louis, who followed him, with a sh ofplexity in his eyes. She blushed, where because of the run. It is clear that the eyebrows are full of spring. Louis walked slowly to the barbecue stand and settled down beside Austin. Taking the beer can from Austin, he tilted his head and took a swig. "Mr. Johnson, I salute you, Jasmine for that, a million thanks." Isaac walked up to Louis and sincerely thanked him. Louis lightly ummed, "A little something, in fact, you can not have to resign." Isaac doesn''t say anything, but tilts his head back and takes a sip of wine. Louis gave him a look and didn''t say anything. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. The two men knew it by heart and sipped their wine in silence. Violet had almost finished eating and was dragged by Evie to Josie. Austin gave Ciara a look, "Aren''t you going to y?" Ciara looked disgusted, "What''s so fun about a show that low and crowded?" Austin took a sip of wine and gave her a deep look without making a sound. When he saw a few men talking to Josie, he got up and said, "Louis, let''s go join in the fun." Louis frowned and subconsciously tried to retort. Austin pulled him up, "Come on, do you want your ex-wife to meet another man on this asion?" Louis narrowed his eyes and grimaced slightly as he saw a man approaching Violet. Getting up, he and Austin stride over. By the campfire, the music was deafening. Violet was pulled by the two children to dance and listened to theirughter, the mood was brightened. "Is little sister bringing her younger siblings to y? You three siblings look alike!" Some young men came up to her and flirted around her. Violetughed softly, "Do I look small?" "Of course! You must have juste of age this year, right?" The man was very good at coaxing and ingratiating. Violet raised an eyebrow, "I''m a single mom." "WHAT? You''re a single mom,dy, don''t tease." "She''s not teasing you! Go find someone else if you want to pick up girls." Louis walked over and spoke in a cold voice. The man took a look at Louis and saw that he had a good temperament and carried a non-angry aura around him, and left somewhat sarcastically. Louis'' cold breath was slightly restrained as he looked at Violet. Violet didn''t want to see Louis at all at this point. Because of embarrassment. Chapter 238 Chapter 238 She looked at the time and said to Erin, "Erin, it''s gettingte, Mommy should take you back to your room to rest." Erin was having a good time, "Mommy, can''t you y a little longer?" "Let''s go to bed early so we can get up early tomorrow and have fun." Violet coaxed the little one and picked her up. Erin blinked her big eyes and looked at Louis and Luka. "Uncle Louis, Luka, do you guys want to hang out with me in my room?" Violet "..." The daughter is definitely on someone else''s side. I wonder if she wants to avoid the father and son right now? Louis nced at Luka and raised his eyebrows. Can the son figure out the situation. He brought his son, but he wanted him to be an assistant! "Aunt Violet, I''m a little sleepy, can Ie and sit in your room?" Luka received a look from his own dad and understood it by heart, not dragging his feet. Louis hooked his lips in satisfaction. Violet gave him a look and then looked at Louis, "Mr. Johnson, it''s gettingte too, children go to bed early and get up early for good health, why don''t you take Luka back to rest early." Louis raised his eyebrows, "I''ve been drinking and can''t drive." So, they''re staying tonight too? "So where are you staying tonight? Have you booked the room yet?" "It''s toote, it''s full." Violet "..." No, they don''t book a room, they want to sleep in the open air. "Aunt Violet, can''t you let me sit in your room?" Luka raised her dark eyes with a look of innocence. Violet''s heart instantly softened. "It''s not a thing, let''s go." Why did she feel as if she had been set up by Louis again? "Yay, Uncle Louis hold, Erin is so heavy, Mommy is going to be exhausted." Erin was all excited and asked for a hug towards Louis. Louis curled his lips and naturally took Erin from Violet''s hand. The little one wrapped his arms around Louis'' neck and mouthed gibberish. Violet looked at the two men, somewhat in a trance. My daughter really likes Louis. A warmth in her hand, it was Luka who took her hand. Violet lowered her eyes and touched Luka''s dark eyes, her heart softened. She also loves the little guy. By the campfire. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Josie danced with the man who osted her. Austin pulled away from the man as he looked over at Josie. "Hey, who are you!" The man stumbled a bit and shouted. "I''m her man!" Austin wrapped his arm around Josie''s waist and swept his cold eyes at the man. The man opened his mouth and turned his head with a smile to find a new target. Josie pulled Austin''s hand away, "Mr. Evison, you can eat your food, but you can''t talk nonsense, since when are you my man?" Austin raised an eyebrow, meaning to say, "Don''t you dare say that I''m not your man?" Josie choked, and her face heated slightly as she thought of the one time the two of them went crazy. "Mr. Evison, it was just an ident, it was agreed, consider it a game, and hurry up and turn the page." "Heh! Miss Scott, you''re so casual!" Austin inexplicably got a little angry and sarcastic. The smile on Josie''s face was slightly restrained, and without a nce, when she saw Ciaraing this way, she smiled flirtatiously, "Mr. Evison, I''m not your girlfriend, it''s none of your business if I''m casual or not, right?" After saying that, she ruffled her big wavy curls and turned her head and zipped into the dancing crowd. Austin''s face sank as he watched the depression rise in his heart as Josie once again joked with a man who had osted him. This woman, really does not take him seriously! "Austin, my stomach is not feeling well, can you go with me to eat something light?" Ciara took Austin''s arm and pretended to be soft. Austin''s eyes retracted from Josie and calmed down a bit. "Let''s go." "Good." Ciara responded and looked back at the woman on the dance floor, the corners of her mouth curled up in a sneer. Chapter 239 Chapter 239 In the lodge suite. The two children were ying a game with the tablet, and Louis was pointing it out from time to time. Theughter was incessant. Violet looked at the time and stroked her forehead. From the looks of it, this father and son are here to stay today? How do you sleep at night? She certainly could not live with this father and son. Violet exhaled lightly, grabbed the boiling kettle and went into the bathroom, ready to boil some water. Louis, who was ying a game with the two children, saw a helpless look sh across Violet''s face and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Getting up, he walked over with wide strides. In the bathroom, Violet had just filled the water and her nerves tightened up again when she saw Louis appear in the mirror. Her mind shed back to the kiss in the woods, and she hurriedly stopped her thoughts and turned around sharply. "Mr. Johnson, it''s gettingte, or I''ll call a car for you and take you and Luka home." Louis slowly approached her and was about to speak when Violet got a nervous look on her face, "You you stop, don''te near me." This man, she is really afraid of him! Can you stay away from her? Louis''s footsteps were a bit of a shock, but he continued on. When he came to her, he reached out and took the boiling kettle out of her hand, braced his hands in front of the sink, and circled her in it. "What are you nervous about? Afraid I''ll kiss you again?Violet, we used to be married and have done more intimate things than this haven''t we?" The man''s eyebrows are deep and there is a hint of darkness in his voice that is somewhat sexy. Violet''s heart was beating uncontrobly fast, and she didn''t know what it was because of. "Mr. Johnson, I don''t have anything to do with you right now, okay?" "How is it okay? Can''t you see I''m courting you?" Louis leaned in close to Violet and watched her ears turn a little red and her mind wandered. He just loves to see her blush. "Mr. Johnson, the kids are out there, can you let me out first?" Violet''s voice is a little soft, and her eyebrows are full of delicate and angry rhymes. Louis'' throat rolled slightly, his eyes fell on her red lips, and his body shifted somewhat uncontrobly. This woman, always able to easily provoke his desire. He reached out and cupped her tiny chin, "Violet, I''m serious. Even if it''s not for yourself, think about Erin, she likes me so much, do you really not want to give her aplete home?" The man''s voice is soft, with a hint of seduction. The deep eyes are like a deep pool, dark and waveless, making people unconsciously indulge in it. Violet''s head went nk, leaving her unable to think. She froze as she watched the man slowly tilt his head, the familiar scent approaching ... "Luka, am I through!" The sound of Erin''s cheerfulughter from outside snapped Violet''s chaotic thoughts awake. As soon as she pushed Louis away, she walked out of the room with a quick red face. This man, is a demon! Howe she didn''t know he liked topel people so much! She needs to blow off steam to keep herself from getting stuck in! Watching Violet fleeing, Louis'' dark eyes were deep in concentration. Long fingers brushed over his thin lips, a trace of regret shed in his eyes. So close, he''ll be able to im his benefits again tonight! Outside, Violet reached up and lightly fanned her burning face, taking a few deep breaths. Looking up to the sky, she steadied herself and prepared to go to Josie. Louis and his son are expected to stay here tonight, and she needs to be prepared to spend the night with Josie and Evie. From a distance, you can see that the campfire is still bustling with people. Violet came a little closer and caught a glimpse of Josie and Evie. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. The two are still dancing. Violet curled her lips and was about to walk over when she saw a waiter gesture to Josie a few times and point towards the front. Josie asked some questions, then nodded and walked with the waiter to the front. Where are they going? Violet froze and looked at the side of the waiter''s face, her eyebrows furrowed. How does this man look a little familiar. Where has she seen it before? A scene shed in her mind, Violet''s face changed slightly and she quickly followed. That waiter, isn''t that the man Ciara was talking with? Where is he taking Josie? Front. Josie straightened her clothes and kept walking with the waiter. The waiter told her that Austin had asked her toe over and had something to say to himself. She did not want to go, but the waiter said that she should not give him a hard time. If he can''t hire her, he''ll lose his job. What did this Austin want to tell herself by secretly sending someone to call her? Josie bristled and didn''t embarrass the waiter, because she also wanted to know what Austin wanted to say to himself. Chapter 240 Chapter 240 From a distance, a man could be seen standing at the top of the hill. The long figure is shrouded in darkness, so I guess it''s Austin. Josie cleared her throat and called out, "Mr. Evison, what did you call me for?" The man did not move and stood motionless. Josie looked suspicious, moved closer and called out tentatively, "Mr. Evison, is that you?" There was a rustling sound behind them, followed by Violet''s screams. "Josie, don''t go over there!" ... Inside the pool of the estate. Ciara sat on the shore, watching Austin swim through the water like a fish, somewhat distracted. There should be progress on the things she arranged! Josie must have fallen off the cliff! Tick, a messagees in on the phone. She picked it up in a hurry and looked at it. "Things are done, but there is a little problem, youe over and settle the bnce with me face to face." It''s done! Ciara''s heart burst with joy. But what went wrong with the little problem? Ciara typed a line, "What''s the little problem?" "It''s not a big deal, you''ll know when you get here,e on." The other party sent another message over. Ciara thought about it and decided to make a trip. As long as we can get Josie, nothing else is a problem! "Austin, take your time swimming, I''m going out for some air." Ciara spoke to Austin and then exited the pool. Coming to the top of the hill, she saw the two people employed. "I''m here, tell me, what''s the little problem." The two men looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and reached out and snapped her. Ciara was shocked and eximed, "What are you doing?" "Miss, I''m sorry, we don''t want to do this, but they offered three times the price you paid, so of course we can''t have a problem with money!" The man in the ck suit spoke up and looked to the two men who came out of the shadows. Ciara followed his line of sight and saw Violet and Josie slowly walking towards her. Josie is fine! She was tricked! Ciara''s face changed and she struggled desperately, "Let go of me, let go of me! Somebody! Well!" Violet stuffs a white dishcloth into Ciara''s mouth. She pped her hands and hooked her lips, "Please, two big brothers, hang her up! Hang her N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. overnight first." This Ciara, who actually hired two people under the name of Austin, tricked Josie intoing here and tried to push her off the mountain. Luckily she arrived just in time, otherwise Josie would have been in trouble. For the malevolent people, she how to return a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. So, she threatened the two men with the little video she had taken to get them to cooperate with her and trick Ciara intoing. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. A whimpering sound came from behind them, and Violet and Josie looked at each other and turned a deaf ear to it. "Violet, it''s a good thing you came along and saved my life." Josie takes Violet''s arm and pampers her. "Josie, if something happens to you, do you think I''ll have to go after Austin?" Violet patted her hand and snickered. "What do you want with him? I''m just waiting for this man to regret marrying Ciarater!" Josie bristled and casually ruffled her hair. In the afterglow, her eyes widened in horror at the sight of the man in ck behind her. "Violet, run!" Chapter 241 Chapter 241 Violet froze and turned around to see a masked man in ck, with a sharp knife in his hand, rushing towards them. There are thugs! Violet was so shocked that she pulled Josie forward and ran. "Help, someone! There''s no one!" Josie screamed for help. Violet pulled her into a desperate run and ran to the three-way intersection. She looked back at the man in ck chasing after her and said to Josie "Josie, let''s split up! I''ll distract him, you go call someone!" That man has a knife in his hand, in case he is caught, one injury will hurt two. Josie must be allowed to leave first! "But ..." "Go call someone!" Violet let go of Josie''s hand, picked up a rock from the ground and smashed it at the man. The man was hit by a stone to the body, his footsteps, the fierce light in his eyes even more, towards Violet chased over. Josie wanted to say something but looked at Violet worriedly and anxiously, turned and ran the other way. Who is this man who appeared out of nowhere? Look at him in full armor, is he prepared? Josie was so distraught that she pulled out her cell phone and dialed Isaac''s number. But the phone went unanswered. What to do? Who will help her? "Josie, what''s wrong with you?" Louis didn''t see Violet back for a long time, so he came out of his room to get some air. From a distance, I saw Josie running wildly from a short distance away. "Mr. Johnson, quick, go save Violet, there''s, someone''s trying to kill her." Josie ran out of breath, anxious and surprised, and grabbed Louis'' hand. Louis'' pupils snapped shut, "What''s trying to kill her? Where is she?" "She ran off in that direction, not knowing who was going to kill her." Josie propped her hand on her back and pointed in the direction Violet was running. Louis was already running forward in stride, making phone calls as he ran. A corner of the estate. Grace took Betty around the estate to enjoy the night view. "Miss Harper, Violet is over at the top of the hill at the moment, and someone is sneaking up on her, the one who is following her." A message came through on the phone. Grace''s eyes lit up with a sh of surprise. After she received a call from Jasmine, she had her people check the location of Violet and Louis. I didn''t expect to find anything like this. Is the guy who was following Violet going to do it to her here? "Betty, there''s a bonfire over there, go have fun, I''m going to go to the bathroom ande back." Grace distracted Betty and then walked towards the top of the hill. It couldn''t have been more fun to see Violet get killed in person. Hilltop. Violet ran desperately, about to be exhausted. The men in ck behind her closed in on her, and several times she seemed to hear the sound of a deing. Who is he? Why do you want to kill yourself? Who did she offend again? With a sudden stumble in her footsteps, Violet stumbled and fell to the ground. She let out an ah, and turned sharply to look at the maning after her. The man also ran out of breath and looked at Violet, who had fallen to the ground, with a sh of madness in his eyes. "Violet, I''m going to kill you!" He knows her! N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Violet swallowed, "Who are you? Do we know each other? Why are you trying to kill me?" "You don''t know me, but I know you, you vermin, I''ll kill you to get justice for her!" The man''s eyes shed with epileptic ruthlessness, and his hand took the sharp knife and cut down towards Violet. Violet eximed, a dodge to avoid. "Calm down, talk to me! Who have I harmed? Tell me clearly!" "I''ll kill you, I''ll kill you!" Without exnation, the man brandished a sharp knife and shed at Violet. Violet was shocked and frightened, her muscles tensed and she desperately dodged. In the corner, Grace hid behind a tree and watched the scene with a twinkle in her eye. If Violet was killed by this man, that would be great. Without a nce, she saw not far away, the man darted to the figure. Chapter 242 Chapter 242 It''s Louis! Grace''s face changed slightly, watching how the man in ck stabbed did not stab Violet, heart secretly anxious. If Louis arrives, then the man will definitely not get it. At that moment, Violet came fleeing in her direction. Grace''s eyes shed and her heart flew to make a decision. "I''ll kill you!" The man in ck shouted and shed at Violet''s back. Grace snapped out from behind the tree and swung desperately at the man with a branch. "What a man, help! Come on, someone!" The man was caught off guard by the hit and hurriedly blocked the branch with his hand. When he reacted, he red at Grace and pulled at the branch she was waving in her hand. "Nosy, just as damned!" The man took the sharp knife and shed at Grace''s arm. Grace shrieked and sped his wrist desperately to keep the sharp knife from hurting herself. In the afterglow, she saw Louis'' figure getting closer and closer to the man whispering, "Someone is The man visibly froze, and by this time, Louis'' low growl was ringing in his ears. "What a man! Let her go!" The man''s spirits lifted and he shook Grace off as soon as he could. The sharp knife was aimed squarely at Grace''s arm, and as he flung it, the de sliced through her arm. Grace let out an ahh and covered her arm with a painful face. Louis'' face sank and he gave a kick to the man in ck. The man in ck was kicked to the ground, and looking at Louis'' sullen, cold face and the security personnel from the lodge darting behind him, he quickly climbed to his feet and fled the scene. "Don''t run, stand still." The lodge security officer went after the man. Louis didn''t pursue it any further and turned his head to Violet and Grace. Violet was holding Grace up, shock and surprise shing in her eyes. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. "Miss Harper, how are you?" She never expected that Grace would be the one to save her in the end. "My arm hurts." Grace covered her arm, tears welling up in her eyes. Louis took off his jacket and draped it over her, "I''ll have someone take you to the hospital." Have someone take her to the hospital? Is he going to stay here with Violet? "Louis, won''t you go with me?" Grace looked at Louis with a sad and aggrieved look. Louis wrinkled his brow and was about to speak when Violet said, "Mr. Johnson, you should take Miss Harper to the hospital yourself." Hearing this, Louis'' brow knitted tighter. He looked Violet up and down, at her hair in disarray and all messed up, "And you? Is there anything wrong?" "I''m fine! I''m just tired from running, I''ll be fine after resting, you should take Miss Harper to the hospital quickly." Violet nudged Grace toward Louis and spoke up. Louis'' thin lips were pursed and he said silently, "I''ll take Grace to the hospital, you stay here and help me take care of Luka." "Good." Violet responded and watched as Louis embraced Grace and curled his fingers. A hot pain came from the palm of her hand, she spread her hand and looked at it, breaking the skin. It was just scraped when it fell to the ground. It hurts a little. "Violet, how are you?" Josie and Austin arrived in a hurry, running out of breath. "I''m fine." Violet shook her head and nced sideways at Louis, who was already walking away. "Who is that, and why is Mr. Johnson embracing a woman?" Josie followed Violet''s line of sight with a look of surprise. "That''s Grace, she saved me." "What!" Chapter 243 Chapter 243 Josie helped Violet into the hotel suite. Isaac, who arrived at the news, brought medical supplies and applied the medicine to Violet with a heartfelt look. It didn''t take long for Austin to bring Ciara in. Ciara was cloaked and crying, and her makeup was smeared like a ghost. Austin''s face sank and he angrily rebuked, "Ciara, how dare you hire a murderer!" Josie has told him what happened. He didn''t expect Ciara to be so vicious as to have someone pretend to be him and lure Josie to the top N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. of the mountain, trying to push her off the mountain. So someone was after Josie and Violetter, was it Ciara''s orders as well? "No, I didn''t! I just took my sister''s advice and wanted to teach Josie a lesson who told her to seduce you." Ciara clutched her shivering body and cried in denial. Jessie was behind her? Violet and Josie looked at each other with anger shing in their eyes. "Then was the man in ck who tried to attack meter also an assassin hired by you two sisters?" Violet looked at Ciara and questioned. "What ck man? I just paid off two waiters, I didn''t do anything else." Ciara sucked in her nose with a bewildered look on her face. "Is it really not you? Then could it be someone hired by your sister?" Austin questioned in a cold voice. "I don''t know, my sister didn''t tell me." Ciara shook her head and took Austin''s hand, "Austin, my hand hurts, please apany me back." She''s been hanging for so long, scared and frightened, and now she just wants to go home! Austin shook off her hand, "Ciara, I originally thought, you are at least nobledy, I married you is not wrong. But I didn''t expect you to be so vicious! From now on, you and I have nothing to do, our rtionship ends here." He wants to break up with himself! She still longed to be his bride! Ciara''s face changed, "No, Austin, I was wrong, I shouldn''t have listened to my sister and messed with Josie, please forgive me, I won''t dare next time!" "There is no next time. Ciara, you should be d that nothing happened to Josie. Otherwise, it wouldn''t have been as simple as just breaking up with you." Austin''s dark eyes were full of coldness. Ciara''s face was white as paper. It''s over! Everything went down the drain! I never thought I''d go for wool ande back shorn. She was so upset! "Austin, listen to me ..." Ciara tries to take Austin''s hand, trying to regain it again. Austin nced at her coldly, "Get out." Ciara was shocked by the cold light in his eyes, and her hand froze in mid-air. Halfway through the day, she covered her mouth and whimpered out the door. The door was closed and Austin looked over at Josie, "I''m sorry, I didn''t know this Ciara was so malicious and almost got you killed." Josie ruffled her hair, "She lost her mind because she was jealous, and it seems Mr. Evison has the potential to be a bogeyman. I hope your next fianc¨¦e will be a little more open-minded." The next fianc¨¦e? Austin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you open-minded?" Hmm? Josie looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Mr. Evison, it has nothing to do with you whether my heart is open or not, right?" "Yeah?" Austinughed lightly, not dismissing it. Josie didn''t bother to talk to her and looked to Violet who had already treated her wound. "Violet, where else is it hurt? You really don''t need to go to the hospital to get it taken care of?" "A small injury, not a problem." Violet was a little distracted. Because she was still thinking about the man in ck. He said she was a pest, and he came to seek justice for people. She really doesn''t remember who she really hurt! And this man in ck, who suddenly appeared at the manor, must have followed her here. Something shed through her mind and she frowned. "Violet, what are you thinking about? Does the wound hurt?" Isaac saw Violet''s frown and asked with concern. "No, I was thinking that the man in ck should have been following me early in the morning." She has been feeling for some time now that someone is following her behind. It must be this man in ck! "Someone is following you? And have you seen what he looks like?" Austin was surprised and asked in a rush. "Haven''t seen it." Chapter 244 Chapter 244 Violet struggled to recall, "But just now I saw a burn scar on his tiger''s mouth." The only time she should have seen this man in ck was when she was dealing with a traffic ident. But because of the distance, she had forgotten what the man looked like. "That''s a favorable lead, I see." Austin narrowed his eyes, intending to send someone to investigate in detail. ... Hospital. Louis was waiting for Grace to do her exam when he got a call from Austin. Austin told him about the current situation. "Security at the lodge hasn''t found the man in ck yet, and we don''t know who he''s being directed by at this time. But Violet remembered his features, and I have called the police and asked our people to work together to find this man." Louis frowned deeply and thought about it, "Since he has been tracking Violet for some time, then find the traffic department, check the surveince video, there will be clues." "That makes sense, I''ll get on it." "Hmm." Louis hung up the phone, his eyebrows sunken and cold. Who really tried to kill Violet? Jessie? Jasmine? Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Who else? This woman, how many people have she offended? As she was thinking about it, Grace came out of the emergency room. "Louis." Louis returned to his senses and greeted him. "Doctor, how is she?" "Superficial injury, nothing serious, juste over in a week to remove the stitches." The doctor replied and then left. Louis said thank you and looked over at Grace. "Grace, why are you there?" The man''s eyes are cold and sharp, with the wisdom of insight into the heart. Grace barely managed to control her mind, "I was on a trip with my cousin and didn''t expect to encounter thugs." "Your cousin?" Louis narrowed his eyes, a hint of doubt in his tone. "Yeah, my aunt''s daughter, she just happened to visit my ce today, we haven''t seen each other for a long time, so I suggested we go out for a vacation together." Grace looked at Louis and licked her dry lips. Louis stared at her and said in a deep voice, "Grace, you better tell me the truth, what I hate most in life is to be lied to." Grace''s eyes flickered and she straightened her hair around her ears, and only after a long time did she lower her eyes and say, "Actually, it was Jasmine who called me and said you and Violet were having a rendezvous. I was in a hurry, so I dragged my cousin to Oceanview Resort to look for you." This is not considered cheating. Of course, it is impossible for her to let Louis know that she deliberately blocked a knife for Violet and gave the man in ck a chance to escape. This man in ck is still useful to her! Instead of letting him get caught by Louis, we could sneak him into hiding and have another incident! And she, for saving Violet, was able to make Violet owe herself a favor. Two birds with one stone! "Did Jasmine call you?" Louis'' dark eyes narrowed as he thought of Jasmine''s virtues and believed Grace''s words for a few moments. Jasmine should be thest to see him and Violet get back together. If she gets the message, there is a real possibility that she will call Grace and ask her toe and stir the pot. "Yes." Grace took Louis''s hand, "Louis, I know Jasmine and you don''t see eye to eye, but I have my own personal feelings. I wanted to be with you and to give Luka aplete home, so I came regardless." Chapter 245 Chapter 245 Grace''s eyes were tearful, a look of pity. Louis looked at her for a long time and broke away from her hand. "I''ll take you back." The man''s look is light and imprable. Grace didn''t know what he was thinking and was dutifully sent home by him. "Louis, can''t you stay with me?" When she entered the house, Grace asked softly. Louis was silent, "You are not seriously hurt, I will go to the scene, looking for clues to the killer." Grace bit her lip and nodded obediently, "Okay." "Get some rest." Louis saw how well behaved she was and softened his voice before striding away. When the door closed, the soft look on Grace''s face converged and she took out her phone and sent out a message. "Find the man in ck right away, don''t let him be found by anyone else first." Resort Lodge. Violet changed into clean clothes, looked at the two children who were still ying games, and softly said, "Okay, you two should go to bed." Louis should be taking care of Grace tonight. Luka will have to be taken care of by her. "Aunt Violet, shall I sleep with you tonight?" Luka nced at the king-size bed, her eyes shining brightly. "Yes, your father went out to take care of some business, so we have to ask you to sleep with us." Violet squatted down to level with Luka and said in a soft voice. "I''m not aggravated." Luka shook her head, anticipation shing in her eyes. He sleeps alone all the time. Tonight he''s going to sleep with his aunt and sister! It must be very warm. "Then I''ll sleep on Mommy''s left, Mommy will sleep in the middle, and Luka will sleep on Mommy''s right." Erin said with a smirk. Violetughed lightly and pinched her smooth little cheeks, "Okay, you y for a while, I''ll take a white bath for Luka." "Okay ta." Violet held Luka and went to the bathroom. "Luka, let''s take our clothes off." Luka''s little face is slightly hot, a little embarrassed to grab the shirt. "Aunt Violet, I can wash it myself." "What''s wrong? Don''t be shy! You are still young, Aunt Violet will help you wash it!" Violet looked at Luka''s shy Hao''s appearance and just felt adorable. She handily removed the little one''s clothes and carried him into the bathtub. Without a nce, she saw a green birthmark on the little one''s buttocks. Violet blinked and there was a slight pause in the movement of her hands. She remembers her son, who died young, was born with a birthmark on his buttocks. If he were still alive, he would be just as cute as Luka. Violet looked at Luka''s delicate little face, and an absurd thought suddenly shed through her mind. Could it be that Luka is his own son? "Aunt Violet?" Luka saw Violet keep staring at herself and couldn''t help but call out. Violet snapped back to her senses and hastily stopped her thoughts. "Sorry Luka, auntie got lost in thought." Look at her, what is she thinking about? Luka is the son of Louis. If he is his son, then Erin should also be Louis'' daughter. But she has already done the gic testing, everything is just a figment of her imagination. Violet cursed herself for her nerves and took a good bath for the little one. Once she had helped Erin to finish her bath as well, she put the two children together. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. The two children''s little faces are flushed, sitting in the same nest shing bright big eyes, extraordinarily delicate and lovely. The more Violet looked at it, the more she liked it, and sighed in her heart that if Luka were her own son, it would be so nice. At that moment, the doorbell rang. Violet ran to the door. At the door stood Louis, his eyes dark and deep. Chapter 246 Chapter 246 Surprise shed in Violet''s eyes, "You weren''t with Miss Harper?" Hearing this, Louis'' eyes shed with a hint of displeasure, "She''s not in any serious trouble and doesn''t need mypany." Why do you keep pushing him out? Thanks to him, he had been worried about her. "Oh." Violet let out an oh, momentary silence. Louis nced in, "Where''s Luka? Are you asleep?" "I just gave him a bath and was getting him ready for bed." Violet returned. Louis hmmed and got ready to head inside. Violet hurriedly stopped him, "Mr. Johnson, it''ste, or let Luka sleep here today, you find your own ce to sleep." She doesn''t want to be in the same room with Louis again. Louis frowned, and without waiting for him to speak, the door pinged shut. Is this a closed door for him? This woman! Louis'' dark eyes sank, and only after a long time did he pull out his cell phone to call Austin. "Where is it?" "It''s in the room." "Open the door for me." "..." The room. Austin poured Louis a ss of wine, "So, you''re going to make up a night with me tonight? It''s a king N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. room with only one bed." "You sleep on the couch." Louis took the ss and took a sip. Austin "..." This is the room he booked, so why can''t he sleep there? Austin was speechless, sipped his wine and said, "What do you think about tonight and how Grace suddenly appeared in the lodge? I didn''t think she would give herself up to save others." At that, Louis looked out the window at the night scene, his dark eyes deep in concentration. Things coincide a bit. Since the theft of thest plot, he has had doubts in his mind about Grace. But there is no tangible evidence, he has already wronged Violet, do not want to wrong good people again. And today, Grace''s presence is not unreasonable. Everything will have to wait and see what happens. "Let''s find the man in ck first." Louis took a sip of his wine and turned to look at Austin, "The man in ck, really not directed by THE Shaws?" He already knew that Ciara had directed someone to almost push Josie off the mountain. These so-called nobledy, are false appearances. "Not sure." Austin toyed with his wine ss, "I''m just sure he was headed for Violet. It''s toote today, and I''ve made an appointment with the traffic department to pull surveince tomorrow." Louis hmmed and looked at him, "So you and that Ciara are going to continue dating?" "Of course not." Austin took a sip of his wine and said, "I''ve decided to marry Josie." Louis "..." He''s marrying Josie? "Austin, are you sure? She''s divorced and her family history doesn''t really match yours." "So what, I slept with her, so I should be responsible for her. Tired of seeing those pretentious noble Austin looked at the crystal liquid in the cup, "She is sometimes cunning like a little fox, and sometimes mysterious, so I can''t help but want to take a peek. For example, I''m curious as to who the real father of her child really is." Louis is still digesting Austin''s words. Hearing hisst words, he raised his sword eyebrows. "Didn''t I tell you that Erin is not Josie''s daughter, but Violet''s?" Austin "..." So, Josie didn''t just get married and have kids with someone? But she has been burdened with the reputation of having a disordered private life, helping Violet raise her children? Heartbreaking! Chapter 247 Chapter 247 The next day, Violet woke up and looked at the two children sleeping soundly, one on the left and one on the right, and her heart was soft. My daughter slept with her hands and feet stretched out in a heartless manner. Luka, on the other hand, had her little hand on her chest and was sleeping extraordinarily well. Violet lovingly kissed the little faces of the two children and gently got up. "Mommy, I need to go to the bathroom." Erin, suffocated by urine, sleepily climbed up and asked for a hug towards Violet. "Okay, Mommy will carry you to pee-pee." Violet carries her daughter to the bathroom. Luka in bed woke up with fluttering eyshes. Looking at Violet''s back, he climbed up as well. Aunt Violet is so gentle! He''s so jealous of Erin! "Huh, Luka, you''re awake?" Violet came out of the bathroom with Erin in her arms and was surprised to see Luka get out of bed. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. "Morning Aunt Violet, I need to go to the bathroom too." Luka spoke up nicely. "Okay, are you okay with yourself?" "It''s OK." "Good boy." Violetplimented, Luka blushed and went into the bathroom by herself. "Mommy, is Erin a good girl?" Erin heard Violetplimenting Luka and nuzzled Violet''s neck to pamper her. "Did you say yourself that you were good?" Violet teased her daughter. "Erin is also very good!" "Really? I don''t think you''re as good as Luka." "Doesn''t Mommy love Erin? Isn''t Erin your favorite daughter?" "Little smartass!" "..." Violet teases her daughter, waits for Luka to finish using the bathroom, and washes up for them. Outside, Josiees out of her room and is about to knock on Violet''s door. Hearing a movement down the hallway, she turned her head and saw Austin and Louising out of the room, one after the other. Did these two sleep in the same roomst night? Josie raised an eyebrow and greeted the two men. "Hi Mr. Johnson good morning, Mr. Evison good morning." "Morning." Louis and Josie gave a slight nod, then headed toward Violet''s room. Josie was about to follow, when Austin called out to her. "Josie,e with me." Josie was on her feet, "Something wrong?" "Hmm." Austin turned around and walked toward the security channel. Josie was silent and followed. "Mr. Evison, what is it that you want?" "Josie, be my girlfriend." Josie "..." It''s early in the morning, Louis is on the wrong medication, right? "Mr. Evison, don''t be ridiculous, what is my status, what is your status! Even if you broke up with Ciara, there are still countless nobledies waiting for you, just pick one in there." Josie lost her smile and was ready to leave when she finished. Austin took her by the arm and pushed her against the wall. "Josie, I''m not kidding! You slept with me, you''re responsible for me!" Josie "..." She has seen women ckmailing men, but never seen a woman ckmailed by a man! "Austin, didn''t we agree that it would be a game for once? Do you want to be so yful?" Austin raised his eyebrows and moved closer to her, "I can''t afford to y, so how about you? You''re no good either! Is it just being my girlfriend? What are you afraid of?" The man''s smile was long, and the faint scent of men''s perfume mixed with tobo wafted across her nose, and smelled surprisingly good. Josie''s arms and legs went a little weak, and she swallowed, forcing herself to stay calm. "Mr. Evison, you don''t need to provoke, it''s useless!" Austinughed lightly, "Josie, you and I still have our bet! You lose, you have to promise me one condition. And my condition is that you be my girlfriend." Chapter 248 Chapter 248 Josie "..." This sinister man, who didn''t say anything at the time, was waiting for a post-attack! "Mr. Evison, do you really want me to be your girlfriend? Don''t you forget, I''m divorced!" "Being divorced makes you and me more appreciated, doesn''t it?" Austin said. "I also have a daughter." Her daughter? Austin hooked his lips and smiled, "I''ll be happy to be a father!" Josie "..." This man, hopeless! In the room, Louis hugged Erin and listened to her have a conversation. "Still want to y here today?" Louis inquired. "Well nah, mummy, right?" Erin asked in a milky voice. "Well, one more morning of fun and we''ll be back." Violet responded. "I will send someone over to keep you safe." Louis'' brow went slightly cold as he thought aboutst night. Violet moved her lips, wanting to say something. It''s broad daylight, so you shouldn''t be so nervous. "Uncle Louis, you''re not going to y with us anymore?" Erin asked, looking up. "No, uncle still has something to take care of, I''ll let Luka y with you, okay?" "Yeah." Erin smiled and looked at Luka. Luka brightened up and looked at Violet. He was able to spend another morning with Aunt Violet. Violet didn''t say anything more and stroked Luka''s little head, "Come on, let''s go have breakfast." There are kids around, so he can send someone over. ... Superior Apartments. Grace received the message. "Miss Harper, we found the guy!" We found the man in ck! Grace hooked her lips and sent a message out to Marcus. "Marcus, let''s go meet someone." In the abandoned warehouse, the man looked at several people with a wary face, "Who the hell are you? What do you want?" "You''ll seeter, and don''t worry, we''re not all the way with those who are chasing you." The man at the head of the group spoke up and waited for his master to arrive. Soon Grace and Marcus arrived. "Boss." "Hmm." Marcus hmmed and looked over at the man in ck with a twinkle of interest in his eyes. "So you''re Jaden ck?" At that, the man faintly stared, "You know me?" "I don''t know you, but I know Violet, and I know you''ve been stalking her and almost killed her yesterday, right?" Marcus sat down in the chair his men brought over and smiled. Jaden''s eyes shed with hate when he heard Violet''s name. "How do you know that? Who the hell are you?" "It doesn''t matter who I am, what matters is that there are people out there looking for you right now, and if I hadn''t gotten to you first, you''d probably be in jail with Sasha right now." Marcus crossed his legs and said slowly. Jaden clenched his fist, thought of something, and a sh of maniacal killing intent passed through his eyes. "Violet, that bitch, has caused Sasha to suffer, I''m going to get her!" Looking at the man''s epileptic appearance, Marcus'' eyes narrowed and the look of interest in his eyes increased. When they learned that someone was following Violet, his people checked out the man. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. The man''s name is Jaden ck, Sasha''s next-door cousin. The two grew up together, the rtionship is very close. During Sasha''s student days, Jaden once served time in jail for severely injuring a man who tried to molest Sasha. Suffice it to say that he has always prided himself on being Sasha''s protector. Sasha, on the other hand, went to jail for having Violet kidnapped. So this Jaden would follow Violet and try to get her killed, probably to avenge Sasha''s death! Chapter 249 Chapter 249 "Jaden, I can help you." Marcus said. Jaden looked over at him, "You can really help me?" "Of course. You can definitely get Violet killed if you listen to me." Marcus raised an eyebrow, seductively. Jaden''s eyes lit up with fire, "Okay, I''ll do anything you want as long as I can get Violet killed." "That''s right, you guys take him away, be careful to avoid the cameras, don''t let anyone outside find him, and take good care of him." Satisfied, Marcus barked orders at his men. "Marcus, I think there''s something wrong with this man''s spirit." N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Waiting for people to leave, Grace said. Marcus snorted lightly, "I don''t care if he''s mentally ill, as long as he can help me spoil the auction at the Pce Hotel next week, I''ll be happy." Hearing this, Grace reached out and took his arm. "Marcus, this time, I have sacrificed a lot for your great cause, and my arm still hurts." Marcus gave her a look and gave her ass a lightly teasing squeeze, "Got it, count yourself smart enough to know to bail on this Jaden." Bailed out Jaden and screwed up the auction by getting his hands dirty afterwards. Let''s see if Rex will continue to work with Louis! "Marcus, I have an errand to run, so I''ll call Violetter." Grace''s eyes rolled and something urred to her. "Oh? What is it?" "Get Violet off Louis! Lest she spoil our fun next time." "..." The Johnson Group. Louis got a call from Austin. "Louis, I''ve been to the traffic department, and there''s been a major discovery." "Say." "There is a suspicious person, his name is Jaden ck, he has been appearing in the vicinity of Violet for some time, yesterday he also appeared in the lodge, this person should be the one who is following Violet." Hearing this, Louis'' spirits lifted, "So where is he now?" "Thest ce he was seen was in the suburbs, it was a bit out of the way and there were no cameras so it was impossible to determine where he was and our guys are still looking for him in that area." Austin said with some regret. Louis frowned deeply, "Send me Jaden''s information and find him as soon as possible." Jaden? Why did he want to hurt Violet? Louis hung up the phone and clicked on the message from Austin. So Jaden is Sasha''s cousin? He''s here to get revenge on Violet? Louis'' thin lips tightened and he picked up his cell phone to call the bodyguard protecting Violet. "Are Miss Elliott and the others still ying at the park?" "Report boss, Miss Elliott and her group have arrived home safely. miss Elliott is now going out again." Violet is going out again? Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly, "Keep following her to make sure she''s safe." "Yes." Outside the studio, Violet received a call from Grace and drove to the appointed cafe. "Miss Harper, are you okay with your injuries?" Violet took a seat across from Grace and nced at her arm. "It''s bandaged, it''s not fatal, but it hurts real bad." Grace stirred her coffee spoon and smiled lightly. Violet pursed her lips, "Miss Harper, once again, I''d like to say thank you." She is a person with a clear grudge. No matter how much she dislikes Grace, Grace is indeed her savior. "Miss Elliott, if you really want to thank me, can you promise me one thing?" Grace set her coffee spoon aside and took a sip of coffee. "What is it?" Chapter 250 Chapter 250 "I hope you can make it up to me and Louis and stop stealing him from me can you?" Make her and Louis whole! Violet''s heart shrinks slightly. She looked up at Grace, "Miss Harper, you''re mistaken, I''ve never fought you for anything." She''s been keeping her distance from Louis, hasn''t she? "You haven''t fought for anything, but Louis keeps trying to get you to marry him." Grace looked at Violet, "Miss Elliott, you have a lot of talent, and there must be a lot of men out there who like you. Miss Elliott, can you swear to stay away from Louis and never marry him?" Ask her to swear? Although not impossible, she only found it ridiculous. Violet looked at Grace steadily, thought of something and burst out, "Miss Harper, do you really like Mr. Johnson and have only one man with him? I don''t think so, you should like Marcus very much, right?" These words made Grace''s face change. "You, what are you babbling about? I... How could I possibly like Marcus?" Did Violet find out something? Impossible! She and Marcus have always had a very private rtionship. "Miss Harper, I just said that casually, what are you so nervous about?" Violet looked at the panic in Grace''s eyes, and the doubt in her heart grew even more. She was just scamming her, but Grace''s reaction was too much. Does she really like Marcus? Grace settled down and looked at Violet, "Miss Elliott, I know you have a crush on Louis, after all, a man as good as he is, few women can resist his charm. But even so, you can not just nder me ah." "I was just so surprised that I reacted so much. Because I know that the Scott family and The Johnson Family are business rivals, and if Louis hears you, will he think that I am a business spy sent by Marcus? Then do I still want to live?" "You know, he didn''t treat me very well in the first ce, and if it weren''t for Luka, I would have been abandoned long ago. If you nder me like this again, then I really only have to die." The words were spoken with deep emotion. Grace''s eyes were red. Violet looked at her steadily for a long time and said, "I''m sorry, I said the wrong thing." She has no real evidence, and really can''t climb on people indiscriminately. Grace took out a tissue and wiped the corner of her eyes and looked at Violet, "Miss Elliott, so what I just asked, can you say yes?" Violet was silent, "Don''t worry, I''ll never get married in my life and will keep my distance from him." "So, you said yes? Miss Elliott, thank you, that''s very kind of you." Grace had a joyful look on her face. "Miss Harper, if there''s nothing else, then I''ll leave you to it." Violet picked up her belongings, not wanting to stay any longer. "Good." Grace watched Violet''s leaving figure with a hint of smugness in her eyes. As long as Violet is willing to reject Louis, with Louis'' cold and arrogant personality, he will definitely not consider her as a marriage partner anymore. When the timees, she, Luka''s mother, will still be worried about sitting on Mrs. Johnson''s throne? Violet drove back to the studio. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Just after she parked, she saw a luxury car parked next to her. Louis got out of the car. The man was dressed in a dark suit, with a tall, leggy look that was the usual cold, arrogant and reserved. Violet''s fingers curled up slightly as she thought about Grace''s words. "Mr. Johnson is here to pick up Luka, right? Please wait a moment, I''ll go up and call him down." Chapter 251 Chapter 251 The woman''s attitude was distant, and Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly as he called out to her. "Wait." Violet stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him, "Is there something else?" Louis stared at her calm face, "You just went to see Grace? What did she say to you?" The bodyguard reported back to him, so he knew she''d met up with Grace. "Mr. Johnson, it''s just a casual family chat between women, please remove all the bodyguards, I''m not used to being watched." Violet said in a light voice. Louis'' brow furrowed slightly, "Violet, you know full well I don''t mean to spy on you, I''m just worried about you ..." "Mr. Johnson, I don''t have anything to do with you, so I won''t bother you." Violet interrupted Louis with a nd look. A nameless fire rises in Louis'' heart. "Violet, can''t you talk properly? I care about you for something, don''t you know that?" Violet tightened her grip on the bag strap and looked at Louis, "Mr. Johnson, I just don''t understand, did I not make myself clear enough? I don''t want to have anything to do with you! I didn''t expect President Louis to be a pervert in private." She called him a pervert! He is the head of The Johnson Family, but he was called a pervert by a woman! Louis'' face suddenly sank, and the aura around him was terribly cold. He is so worried about her, and he is doing everything for her. But it turns out that in her eyes, it''s just the existence of a sex demon! Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Very good! He remembered! For the first time in his life, he tasted what it was like to have his pride cheaply trampled on the bottom of his feet. Louis'' jaw was pursed and his thin lips pursed in a sharp curve. Halfway through the day, he turned around and pulled open the driver''s door to call his bodyguard. "Go and bring the young master down and send him back to Balridge Manor." The car door closed with a ping, the car a drift, sped away. Violet watched dumbfounded as the car pulled into traffic and turned into a small ck dot with a pain in her chest. Sorry! Louis, you''re good! But it doesn''t belong to me after all! Nose a little sour, Violet raised her eyes to the sky to keep her tears from falling. The phone rang. Violet sniffled, calmed down, and slowly pulled out her phone from her bag. The call was from Bianca. Violet let out a deep breath and picked up the phone. "Bianca." "Helena, there''s a charity auction next Saturday at the Pce Hotel, so you muste then." Bianca invited her to a charity auction? Violet moved her lips, with the intention of refusing. Because when you go to Pce Hotel, you are sure to meet Louis and it will be awkward. However, on second thought, she has already made it clear to him, so I think he should choose to ignore it when he sees himself. What''s more, Bianca had opened her mouth, and she couldn''t refute her face in any way. "Okay, Bianca, I''ll be there." Hanging up the phone, Violet sighed and went back to the studio. "Mommy, you''re home." Erin sat on the couch, holding her doll, a bit disinterested. "What''s wrong with you?" Violet sat down next to her and lifted her onto herp. "Luka went back to mess with it and wanted him to stay and y with me so badly." Erin spoke in a milky voice. Violet cut her soft hair and thought of The Johnsons, and her chest tightened a bit. "Okay, what were you and Luka ying with just now?" "Luka taught me to cut flowers and flowers. This is the flower flower we gave you." The little one picks up the little red flower on the coffee table and hands it to Violet. Violet took the little red flower and sighed as she thought of the little one''s delicate little face. The little guy is so cute and she shouldn''t get involved in his mom and dad''s life! the Shaw residence. Jessie rushes home when she receives a call from Mrs. Shaw. Looking at Ciara, who was sitting on the sofa and crying, she put down her bag and walked over. "Okay, Ciara, don''t cry." Ciara raised her teary eyes and shouted, "Sister, it''s all your fault. It was your bad idea that caused me to be abandoned by Austin." Hearing this, Jessie choked, "Why are you ming me? I just want to help you out?" "What''s out of breath? What the hell is going on here?" Mr. Shaw came in from outside and put his briefcase down, "The Evison Group suddenly said today that they were cancelling their partnership with us, and along with it, the marriage that had been discussed was also cancelled. What do you think is going on here?" Chapter 252 Chapter 252 Hearing her father''s words, Ciara looked at Jessie and cried even louder. "Dad, ask Sis! She''s the one who made all this happen! She messed up her own marriage and now Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! she''s dragged me into it. I''ve been abandoned by Austin, how am I supposed to hang out in high society in the future!" Jessie''s face changed for a moment as she listened. "Ciara, I just came up with an idea, if you didn''t have the intention to harm people, you wouldn''t have carried it out, right? Now you me me for what happened, fine, don''t call me for anything you do in the future!" She was already in a bad mood, and now she had to be med by her family. She was about to die of anger! Jessie finished grabbing her bag and turned around to leave. "Jessie, you and Ciara are close sisters, let''s talk about it." Mrs. Shaw got up in a hurry to pull her back and began to round up. Jessie, with an indignant face, stood motionless. Mrs. Shaw said, "I''ve heard Ciara''s ount of what happened, so don''t me her. If you do, me Josie for being a shameless coquette! But isn''t it? Josie, caused her marriage to light up. And now her sister was abandoned by Austin! She will definitely keep this ount in her heart! Jessie had a gloomy face and her eyes were full of hate. ... The week flew by. The Johnson Group has had a week of sad faces and tail between their legs for every executive. Because the air pressure of our own president is too low. They went to debrief and everyone was scolded. This is a rarity. Executives have been asking Harry for information. Harry also had a hard time saying it. Because he is closest to the low pressure, the first to hurt him ah. The president of the family is probably out of love. And the object of lost love is Violet! "What are you still doing there? No need to go to the hotel?" Louis nced at Harry and spoke in a hushed tone. Harry came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Everything is set up in the hotel, I am here to pick you up." Today was the Rex''s Group''s first charity auction at the Pce Hotel. He made a thorough deployment and was waiting for the president toe in person. Louis didn''t say anything, grabbed his jacket and left in a big way. Harry let out a deep breath and followed quickly. Pce Hotel. "Josie, you look so beautiful today, this dress is from Austin, right?" With a ss of champagne in hand, Violet looked over at Josie, who was beautiful in her precious blue sequin dress, and smiled in praise. Little did I know that Austin was really going out with Josie! Probably this is fate! "He has a lot of money, and he''ll be ufortable if he''s not allowed to spend it." Josie ruffled the broken hair hanging down from her ear and smiled delicately. Violet smiled back and swept her eyes across the room. There are a lot of people who came today, all of them are dignified and high ss people. The hotel was decorated and divided into a banquet hall and an auction hall. After all the guests arrive, they can eat some light refreshments on their own, and then they will enter the auction process of the day. Wait for the auction to end and then join the reception. "Violet, have you noticed that someone has been watching us?" Chapter 253 Chapter 253 Hearing Josie''s words, Violet was startled. The figure of the man in ck immediately came to mind, and hurriedly looked around. "Where are the people?" "That way." Josie pouted in one direction. Violet followed her line of sight and saw the Shaws standing together sipping wine. It turns out that Josie was talking about Jessie and Ciara. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Violet exhaled, looking slightly relieved. The man in ck was never found and she thought he had blended in here again. "I heard that Oscar had a woman on the side, and Jessie went and had a big fight with him. Now Ciara has been robbed of her boyfriend by me, so I guess the sisters hate me to death." Josie yed with her ss and took a slow sip. "me it on their own bad heart, who''s to me?" Violet spoke up. "Isn''t it? Especially this Jessie, the most abominable of all." Josie bristled and took another sip of her wine. Violet does not speak, deeply felt the same. At that moment, there was a loud noise at the door. Violet looked up and saw Jasmine holding Marcus''s arm and cursing at the waiter at the door of the ballroom. "Hey, isn''t that Jasmine? Why is she here with Marcus? I remember The Johnson Family and the Scott family are arch rivals in the mall." Josie was amazed and pulled Violet to the door to see what all the fuss was about. At the door, Jasmine shouted at the waiter, "Who are you? How dare you stop us? Get out of my way!" "Sorry, Miss Johnson, Mr. Johnson had given an order that Mr. Scott and the dog are not allowed inside, I am just following the order, so, to enter only you can enter alone." The waiter bent over slightly and said stiffly. High-level orders, they can only follow the orders of these small people ah! "What are you talking about? How dare youpare Mr. Scott to a dog? Do you still want to do it?" Jasmine stepped forward and just pped the waiter. The waiter covered his face and could not say anything. There was a lot of chatter all around. "Why is this Miss Johnson so savage? Brother gave the order, what is she taking it out on the waiter?" "Isn''t that right? Does it look like Miss Johnson and Mr. Scott are getting together? But I remember not long ago, she said she was engaged to a civilian?" "Tsk, I see this Miss Johnson''s private life is very rich, Mr. Scott but willing to do the receiver!" "..." Marcus listened to the chatter and his already unattractive face became even more gloomy. He wrenched Jasmine''s hand away and looked over at the waiter. "Is this the way you treat your guests at The Johnson''s hotel? I came here on the invitation of the Rex''s Group, and you dare to turn me away? Go get Louis out!" Damn Louis for embarrassing him right at the door today. I''ll make him look goodter! "Mr. Scott, you wanted to see me?" Louis'' indifferent voice came from behind him. A private custom-made dark suit, set off his jade tree. Walk between, full of the majesty of not anger and authority. Marcus looked at him and said in a cold voice, "Mr. Johnson is worthy of Mr. Johnson, so big, not only Louis stood in front of him and smiled lightly, "Sorry Mr. Scott, today I withdraw my order that Mr. Scott and dogs are not allowed inside. But after today, my order is still valid." "You!" Marcus'' face was filled with gloom as he watched Louis cross over him into the hotel like nobody''s business. Damn Louis, I want to tear him up! "Marcus, ignore him, let''s go inside." Jasmine took Marcus''s arm again and gave Louis''s back a stern re. Chapter 254 Chapter 254 Marcus pulled away from her and straightened his suit and walked in with a grim face. This Miss Johnson is a stupid woman. If she wasn''t still useful, he really didn''t want to make a false deal with her. "Marcus, you wait for me." Jasmine knew Marcus was angry and rushed to follow. Inside. Josie is biting her ear off with Violet. "It seems that Jasmine has fallen in love with Marcus after she gave up Isaac? Does she still want to marry into the Scott family, which The Johnsons also agreed to?" Violet pursed her lips withoutment. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Will Marcus stay with Jasmine because he loves her? Not really! Perhaps to annex The Johnson Family through her? Has this Jasmine, who is capricious and presumptuous, not thought of this? Or did she think about it but simply didn''t care? Because she and Louis don''t get along, she wants to use Marcus''s hand to defeat Louis? Is she stupid? Anyway, she''s the Johnsons! Violet''s heart was sarcastic, her eyes fell on Louis'' face as he entered, and her fingers curled up. The man is still as handsome and striking as ever. The unsmiling look is permeated by the aura of strangers. Violet pursed her lips and pulled Josie to prepare to leave. "Helena, there you are." Bianca came over with Rex on her arm, smiling and greeting Violet. Violet curled her lips, "Bianca, Mr. Wood." Rex responded and looked over to Louis who approached him. "Mr. Johnson, the auction site is well set up today." Louis gave a slight nod, "Thank you Mr. Wood for thepliment. I''ll be happy if you and Madam are satisfied." "Haha, pretty satisfied so far, I hope today''s auction will be a sess." Rex smiled brightly. Bianca looked at Louis and joked, "Mr. Johnson, the biggest contributor to the partnership between our two families is Helena. Did Helena give you a chance to pursue her again?" Violet "..." Bianca, can you please stop messing around! Violet looked embarrassed and subconsciously nced at Louis. Louis'' eyes just happened to sweep over. There is no point in smiling, there is only indifference and detachment. "Mrs. Wood is joking, Miss Helena is too talented for me to climb." He can''t afford it? What harsh words! He''s probably still bothered by what she said. Violet''s chest was a little tight, and her grip on the wine ss tightened slightly. Bianca looked left and right and saw something. Originally, she thought they were both interested in each other, so she tried to liven things up a bit. I didn''t expect to be embarrassed! "Louis." A woman''s voicees from behind her and Grace walks up in style. Louis'' eyes moved away from Violet''s face and curled his lips at Grace. "Grace, let me introduce to you, these two are Rex, the president of the Rex''s Group, and his wife." "Mr. Wood, Mrs. Wood, hello, I''m Grace." "Hello, Mr. Johnson, this is ..." "She''s my son''s real mother." "Oh, that looks like it should be the future Mrs. Johnson." "..." A word floated into her ears, Violet looked at Louis gently embracing Grace, a look of love and affection, and only felt her chest tighten. "Mr. Wood, Bianca, let''s talk slowly while I go to the bathroom." It looks like Louis and Grace are getting close, right? Good luck to them! "Take your time and talk." Josie gave Louis a deep look, then followed Violet with her skirt. Louis looked at Violet''s back and slowly took his hand away from Grace''s shoulder, the smile on his face slightly curtailed. Seeing him and Grace getting close, is she really not jealous at all? Chapter 255 Chapter 255 "Violet, did you and Louis have a falling out?" Josie followed up with Violet and asked. Violet exhaled deeply andughed, "What breakup? Did we have a good time?" They got divorced a long time ago, didn''t they? "But I think Louis is interested in you, and I thought he would re-pursue you." Josie had a look of regret. "Josie, you can''t insist on introducing me to someone just because you got yourself a boyfriend, can you? I''ve made up my mind to be single for the rest of my life." Violet yed it easy and snickered. Josie looked at her askance, "When did I get a boyfriend? It was the boyfriend who found me!" Violet "..." Does it make a difference? "I can''t help it, I''ll deal with him for a while, and after a while, I''ll break up with him, and then the two of us will love each other and live the rest of our lives with our daughter, okay?" This was said as if the two of them were lesbians. Violet puffed up with amusement. "Smiled smiled! Oops, it''s good that you''re smiling, you say it''s easy for me?" Josie pretended to wipe the sweat, Violetughed out loud, heart Natalie''s. At that moment, a person came to the face. "Josie." Oscar held his ss of wine and looked at Josie steadily. The smile on Josie''s face faded and she greeted him lightly. "So it''s Director Oscar." "Josie, you look so beautiful today." N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Oscar did not care about Josie''s coldness and looked at her with eyes full of amazement. "Is that so? It''s true that women are not the same when they are away from scum." Josie raised a sarcastic eyebrow. Oscar choked and his face got a little puffy. But he quickly straightened his face. "Josie, go ahead and scold me, as long as you''re happy, I won''t mind if you scold me all you want." This person also took the route of deep love? Josie just felt goose bumps all over her body. Just as I was about to speak, a man''szy voice came from behind me. "Is Director Oscar so fond of getting scolded? What kind of hobby is that?" Austin approached with a ss of wine and a smirk. "Mr. Evison," Oscar said, nodding slightly with him. Austin nced at Josie and reached out to straighten her hair around her ears. "How about it, are you tired? I told you to sit and rest, and you ran around." The man''s face was doting, his long, slender fingers fell from her hair to her shoulders and swept her into his arms. Josie tried to break away, but saw that Oscar was still there, and her heart fluttered. "Doesn''t it look silly to sit all the time? Who told you not to apany me?" "Yes, yes, it''s all my fault." The smile on Oscar''s face slowly faded as he watched the two get mushy. "Mr. Evison, you and Josie ..." "Oh, Josie is my girlfriend. director Oscar, when we get married, you muste and support us." Austin raised an eyebrow and spoke up. Oscar''s face waspletely devoid ofughter as he looked steadily at Josie, seemingly not expecting her to be with Austin. Austin hooked his lips and wrapped his arms around Josie, "Josie, let''s go, I''ll introduce you to some friends." "Yeah." Josie smiled delicately, nced at Violet, and was embraced by Austin as Violet looked away with a smiling smile. The man is tall and handsome, the woman is small and lovely, what a pair! Violetughed lightly, seeing Oscar still frozen in ce, and did not want to pay him any attention. Men, ah, are big pig-headed. You will regret only when you lose it! Violet ns to find a corner for a while and wait for the auction to start. "Oops, don''t you walk with eyes? Do you know how to work? Do you know how much my clothes are worth? Now that you''ve made it dirty, I can''t even afford to sell you!" The sound of a woman''s tirade rang out from not far away. The voice is a bit familiar. Violet looked forward and saw Jasmine in the corner of the reception, reprimanding a girl in work clothes. This girl is no other than Evie. Violet''s heart tightened and she walked over quickly. The pastries used at the reception today were all pastries delivered by Tasty Interlude Bakery. So Evie has been coordinating the reception. Why did you offend Jasmine again? "Sorry, I didn''t mean to, but Miss Johnson just wasn''t looking where she was walking, was she? And my shoes are dirty from you." Evie spoke with slightly downcast eyes. "What are you saying? Are you ming me for not walking carefully?" Chapter 256 Chapter 256 "I didn''t say that, but it was the part where I was wrong, and I''ve apologized haven''t I?" Evie raised her eyes and sneered, "As for the rest, I don''t expect an apology from Miss Johnson either. After all, youngdy The Johnson Family is used to being arrogant and domineering, so I''ll consider myself unlucky today." "You ..." Jasmine raised her hand in exasperation. "What do you want?" Violet stepped forward, sped Jasmine''s hand and pushed it away viciously. Jasmine stumbled a bit and held onto a side table. "Evie, is everything okay." Violet asked, ncing coldly at Jasmine. "I''m fine." Evie shook her head. "What''s going on?" "It was when I changed the position of the pastry, I identally bumped into her, and she stepped on me too." Evie gave Jasmine a look and spoke up. This bad woman, almost ruined Isaac, should have just put cream on her face! "Oh, I remember, you''re Violet''s cousin? Sure enough, they''re all bitches!" Jasmine looked at Violet and Evie and cursed. Violet pulled Evie behind her, "We are sluts, and what are you? All you think about all day is sleeping with men, I think you''re worse than a slut!" "What did you say? Try saying that again?" Jasmine gasped. "What, do you want to quarrel or fight?" Violet sneered, "Anyway, we are civilians, not afraid of shame, you are youngdy The Johnson Family! Do you want to watch your image?" Hearing these words, Jasmine''s arrogant temper unconsciously restrained a few points. Marcus was already angry just now, she couldn''t make him lose face again! "Violet, what do you mean, Jasmine''s image was good, are you trying to ruin it again? Do you want Mr. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Scott to have a misunderstanding about her?" Jessie and Ciara came in pairs and gave Violet a cold rebuke. Violet gave her a look, "Miss Ciara talks funny! I don''t have that much heart. Wouldn''t let her shamelessly sleep with men, nor would she viciously instruct someone to drug someone else, nor would she make underhanded moves behind the scenes, trying to push someone off the mountain!" These behaviors are only for the three of them! The Jessie sisters and Jasmine knew it by heart and were disliked by Violet with a change of face. Violet hooked her lips and pulled Evie over, "Evie, did you bring cash with you, Miss Johnson''s clothes were soiled by you, you have to pay for dry cleaning. Well, be generous, give a hundred dors. As for your dirty shoes, forget it, we have a lot of adults, so we do not see eye to eye with her." "Oh, I''ve got the money with me." Evie pulled a hundred dors out of her pocket and flung it at Jasmine in relief. "Miss Johnson, please take the money I gave you for dry cleaning." Jasmine''s chest rose and fell with dislike, and she was so angry that she was about to freak out. "Violet, you two bitches!" "Jasmine, take it easy, it''s not worth it at all to get pissed off by this." Jessieforted Jasmine. The eyes crossed over Jasmine and fell on Josie not far away. At this moment, she is being embraced by Austin, joking with a few worldly gentlemen. And Oscar looked at her from time to time, with eyes full of tant lust. It''s ridiculous, an abandoned woman, why did she leap to be the meat and potatoes? And she is the queen of the film, but she has to be seen by others tough? "Jasmine, do you want to teach Violet a lesson?" Chapter 257 Chapter 257 Violet takes Evie to the bathroom. "Nasty Jasmine, sis, I want to beat her up so badly." Evie beamed and spoke with a huff. But isn''t it! Jasmine really owes it. Violet guffawed. She was about to speak when she felt vaguely that someone was staring at her. This feeling is not new to her! Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Did the man in ck who was not caught blend into the hotel again? The smile on Violet''s face lurched and her head snapped around to look back. The back of the room was full of guests who were talking to each other. She looked around and saw no one suspicious. "Violet, Evie, that Jasmine is looking for trouble again? Are you guys okay." Isaac walked over. He was wearing work clothes and hade over to give Evie a hand today. Just saw Evie and Jasmine getting into an argument. "It''s okay, sis gave Jasmine a good scolding. I just regret that if I had known it was her who bumped into her, I should have smeared her face with cream." Evie beamed, with a look of remorse. Isaac looked at her and couldn''t help but curl the corners of his mouth. Violet was a little distracted, "Isaac, why don''t you walk Evie to the bathroom." Could it be that she was paranoid? The person who just looked at her was Isaac? Whether she was too sensitive or not, she had to go to the hotel''s security department and ask them to take extra precautions. "Violet, something wrong with you?" Isaac asked. "It''s okay." Not wanting to worry them, Violet smiled and turned away. While walking, she pretended to look around casually. Today''s guests are the elite of high society, so the security department of The Johnson''s hotel is extraordinarily guarded. If the man in ck was going to blend in, what would he be dressed as at this point? The most likely is dressed up as a waiter, right? Did she have to suggest that security recheck all the waiters? Violet thoughtfully walked in the direction of the security department. "Sis, do you think Jasmine will really help us? I''m a little bit excited about it." A woman''s voice came from the corner. Violet''s footsteps were halted, and at the sight of the two, she hurriedly hid behind a pir. It''s the Jessie sisters. The two spoke mysteriously and walked towards the elevator. "She hates Violet so much, she can''t wait to see what happens." Jessie sneered. "Sis, you''re still smart. As long as you let Violet and Austin have sex, not only will you be able to diaphragm Josie, but also make Violet and her have a dislike for each other, see how the two bitches will still kiss like a family in the future." Ciara spoke with hatred. "Shh, you be gentle." Jessie nced around, "We sisters are getting screwed by these two bitches, of course we have to fight back. jasmine is yful and can definitely get that drug right away, we just have to go upstairs and set up the scene." "Mmmmmm, sis, I''m so looking forward to it." "..." The elevator arrived with a ding and the two got into it. Violet stepped out from behind the pir and watched the elevator stop on the third floor, her fingers tugging tight. Three women are one show. Jessie these people, they are despicable! Want to get away from her sisterhood with Josie? How about we let her fight back first! Violet hurriedly went to the security department and found the security captain to exin the situation. The security chief knew Violet and knew that she had helped The Johnson Group secure the Rex''s Group deal, so he took it seriously and began instructing his men to check the information of all the waiters in the hotel. Violet finished the job, pursed her lips, and sent a message out to Josie and Evie respectively. In the corner of the ballroom, Grace watched Jasmine take Marcus'' arm and climb into conversation with a couple of noblemen with a glint of jealousy in her eyes. Chapter 258 Chapter 258 When will she be able to stand squarely beside Marcus and be introduced by him that she is the woman he loves the most! Heartbroken, she took a sip of wine and averted her gaze. Without a nce, she saw a security officer checking the waiters without a trace. Howe the security department is checking the waiters properly? The look on Grace''s face changed slightly. Jaden was among the waiters at the moment, so if he was found to be a fake, it would be a waste of effort. Thinking, Grace hurriedly looked around for Jaden''s figure. Meanwhile, Jasmine absentmindedly chatted with Marcus for a while and then sat down to check her N?velDrama.Org holds this content. phone. She had arranged for someone to drug Violet and Austin, and was waiting for the good news toe through. "Jasmine, let''s talk." A message came through on the phone, actually from Isaac. Jasmine''s eyes lit up with some disbelief. How could Isaac send a message to himself? She raised her eyes and looked around to see if Isaac was there. Not far away, Isaac looked in her direction and waved his phone at her, then hung his eyes and typed. "Jasmine, you''re beautiful today, we can''t be lovers and I don''t want to be enemies with you, I just want to have a good conversation with you." It was really Isaac who sent the message to himself. Is it because he regrets seeing her with Marcus? Jasmine, delighted and pleased, fixed her make-up and got up and walked towards Isaac in style. Not far away, Isaac saw Jasmine approaching, the corners of his mouth hooked and walked towards the hidden corner. "Isaac, go ahead, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jasmine lifted the big wavy curls around her ears and walked up to Isaac with a smug look on her face. Man ah, what pretend to pretend? Is it that after tasting her, you can''t forget her? Isaac hooked his lips, "Jasmine, I came to you to ..." "Think what?" Jasmine looked at Isaac''s clean face and said in a whispered voice "Did you miss the taste of me? If you do ..." Dang! A sudden pain in the back of the head. Jasmine choked on half a sentence in her throat, too painful to speak. Someone attacked her from behind! Who is it? With a ckness in front of her eyes, Jasmine slowly turned around and saw Evie''s face in a trance. It''s Violet''s side again, the bitch, how dare she hit her! It hurts! Jasmine''s eyelids rolled over and she passed out. "Hoo hoo, relief, this shameless bad woman, I finally got hit today." Evie swung the wooden stick in her hand and kicked Jasmine again. Isaacughed lightly and knelt down to help Jasmine up. "Okay, let''s get her upstairs." "Okay." The two men smiled at each other and helped Jasmine upstairs. The other side. Oscar followed the waiter up to the third floor. "Are you sure, Miss Scott told me toe upstairs?" Oscar asked the waiter leading the way, somewhat suspiciously. "Yes, Mr. Barrett, it was Miss Scott who asked me to call you upstairs." The waiter spoke respectfully. Oscar didn''t ask any more questions, his heart vaguely expecting something. Josie suddenly wants to meet with herself alone, did she remember how good she is? "Mr. Barrett, this is the one, please." The waiter took Oscar to the lounge by the window, made a gesture of invitation, and left. Oscar cleared his throat, straightened his dress code, and then unscrewed the door ... Chapter 259 Chapter 259 Ballroom. Jessie and Ciara counted the time, both with a glint of excitement in their eyes. Counting the time, it should be the time when Violet and Austin are fighting fiercely. They have to get someone to catch the adultery. Better yet, Josie should catch it herself. Jessie''s almond eyes shed and she whispered something to Ciara. Ciara''s eyes rolled up and she took her ss of wine to Josie who was ying with her phone in the corner. "Josie, congrattions, it''s going to be two for two! An outcast who actually climbed Austin, don''t you have me to thank for that?" Hearing this, Josie put away her phone and raised her ss to gesture with her. "So sour na, but I''ll take that as apliment from you." Ciara red at her and spilled the wine from her ss as soon as she could. "Josie, do you really think that a man like Mr. Evison really likes you? You''re just a second-hand goods, Mr. Evison he''s just ying with you." Josie''s chest, wine stains dripping down in ticks. She slowly raised her eyes, and her eyes looked coldly at Ciara. Jessie, who was in the position, walked over in time, "Ciara, what are you doing? Even if Mr. Evison is snatched away by her, you can''t lose your temper." Ciara doesn''t say anything, just stares at Josie. Jessie''s mouth hooked at the corner and looked at Josie, "Josie, I apologize for my sister, she was spoiled by my family and didn''t control her temper for a while. Look, your dress is dirty, I just happened to bring a recement dress, let me take you to the third floor to change it." She''s taking herself to the third floor to change her dress? Josie''s almond eyes moved slightly when she originally wanted to get mad, and her heart was Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! somewhat clear. Is Jessie going to let herself be caught in adultery? Originally they were also nning to find someone to go up and break up some adulterous affair! Then she''ll be a good person and do what the sisters want. Josie''s heart is sneering, and her face is not showing. She wiped the stain on her chest and got up, "What are you still doing? Let''s go." That''s arrogant enough! She''ll have to cryter! Jessie cuts Josie a look and pulls Ciara towards the stairs. When the three of them arrived at the window lounge on the third floor, Jessie and Ciara looked at each other with a glint of excitement in their eyes. Soon we will see Josie and Violet sisters anti-fighting scene! So much to look forward to! Jessie pushed the door open, "Josie, let''s go in." "Hmm." Josie followed with an expressionless face. The room was permeated with the smell of male and female love, and the low panting of men and women. Jessie''s heart was happy and she hurriedly turned on the light. "What''s that sound? You guys are ......" The house is a mess, for the guests to rest on the bed, the man and woman naked, is doing indescribable things. Jessie let out a startled cry, feigning shock. Ciara stood in the doorway and deliberately amplified her voice, "Oh, shame on you, why are you having sex in the lounge in broad daylight?" Several nobledies who had gone upstairs to rest heard themotion and came over, curiously peeking in. When seeing the scenes inside, they were all red-faced. But the heart of gossip and they can not help but probe to see, have picked up the phone, to take pictures of this exciting scene. Inside the house, Jessie was all excited, just assuming that the two people in the bed were Austin and Violet. "Oh my God, Josie, look, is that Austin, Mr. Evison and your bosom friend Violet, how can they both be hanging out behind your back?" Hearing this, a few nobledies at the door drew a backward breath. "What? That''s Mr. Evison and Violet in there?" "But I remember Mr. Evison was just introducing himself to some friends and said that Josie was his girlfriend?" "Josie and Violet are bosom friends, tsk, Mr. Evison is this sisterhood double eating?" "That''s not right! Why doesn''t this man look like Mr. Evison to me?" "......" The door was open and a few nobledies at the door were talking. Jessie heard an earful, and a smile crossed her face. The man in the bed is not Austin? How is that possible? At this point, Oscar in bed slowly woke up. He turned his head to look at the person who came in, his confused eyes slowly regaining rity. What''s going on? He now this is ...... Oscar''s face changed dramatically when his eyes fell on the face of the woman who was straddling him and still asking for a kiss. Jasmine? How could he have had sex with Jasmine! Some fragments shed through my mind. He entered this lounge and smelled a strange fragrance. The room was dark, making it impossible for him to see clearly. He tried to turn on the light, but his head suddenly got dizzy. His body was full of heat and he ripped off his cor and walked over to the bed, wanting to rest. A woman was sleeping on the bed and it was as if he saw Josie ...... Oscar''s face shifted for a moment, he drew a backward breath and pushed Jasmine away with force. Chapter 260 Chapter 260 He thinks Jasmine is Josie! No, someone has set him up! Let him mistake Jasmine for Josie! "Oscar, how is it you?" Jessie looked at Oscar, who was scrambling to get dressed, and her voice changed tone in shock. Why was it your own husband, and not Austin, who showed up in this room? And who is the woman on the bed who is having sex with her husband! Jessie looked towards the woman with a white face, and changed and changed when she saw it was Jasmine. How did this happen! It''s clearly supposed to be Austin and Violet who get caught up with them here. How did it end up that her husband had sex with Jasmine! "Jessie, I feel so sorry for you! It looks like your best sister is going behind your back and hanging out with your husband! How can they do that!" Josie held back augh and looked at Jessie with pity. Jessie red at Oscar with a deadly re, her body trembling lightly with anger. "Oh my God, so it''s Director Oscar and Jasmine? This is great news!" "Could Miss Johnson be offering herself for resources for her ownpany''s artists?" N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. "Don''t tease me, I''ve heard that Jasmine likes to y with men, I didn''t expect that even Director Oscar wouldn''t let go." "Gee, so much sympathy for Jessie! Seeing her husband cheat on her with her own eyes." "What does she have to feel sorry for? Don''t forget, she''s a third party on top." "......" The murmur of the crowd behind her was like a million ps in Jessie''s face. Her face changed a thousand times, it was hard to see the extreme. "Sis, this, what is this all about?" Ciara asked with a stunned look on her face, pulling Jessie with her. What''s going on? She''d like to know too! Jessie red at Oscar and went up and grabbed him by thepels, "Oscar, tell me, why are you here? How could you and Jasmine ......" "Let go of your hand and talk about whether you can go back or not." "What can''t be said here? Oscar, you''re going too far!" "How have I gone too far? It''s just sleeping with a woman, isn''t it? If you are ufortable in your heart, then just get a divorce." "You want to divorce me again? Oscar, don''t think I''m afraid to divorce you!" "Yes, then we''ll go get a divorce tomorrow." "......" With the sound of the two arguing filling her ears, Josie lightly curled her lips and turned to exit the room. In the other lounge, Violet and Austin came out. Josie smiled delicately and ran towards the two. "Violet, Austin, how was it, was the y good?" "Hmph, trying to count on Laozi? It''s convenient for them!" Austin reprimanded coldly, with a cold light shing in his eyes. He was right next to Josie when Violet messaged her. Knowing that the Jessie sisters and Jasmine are up to something again and counting, he does what Violet suggests and helps her out with some things. The end result is what you see now. "That''s right, but Violet is really brilliant at this general scheme." Josie gave a thumbs up towards Violet. Violet guffawed, not dismissing it. She is just doing unto others what they do unto her. Jessie and Jasmine want to divorce her from Josie''s sisterhood. She''ll turn them both against each other first! "Mr. Evison, the man in ck I was just talking about ......" Oscar and Jasmine''s affair was just a hup. She is still most worried about the man in ck! Chapter 261 Chapter 261 Hearing Violet''s words, Austin was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of Louising up from afar. He raised an eyebrow, "I''ve got Louis up here, let''s talk it over." Violet froze and pursed her lips at the sight of Louis'' tall figure. The matter about the man in ck, she deliberately only looked for Austin, not Louis, is afraid that the two met after awkward ah. Louis'' eyes lingered on Violet''s body for two seconds, then moved away indifferently. "Austin, what did you call me up for?" "I was going to ask you toe and watch the fun, but now there are more important things to say." Austin looked to Violet, "Helena said she felt someone watching her and was afraid that the man in ck had infiltrated the ballroom." Hearing these words, Louis'' face sank slightly. "Have you notified the security services? Have them take extra precautions." "Helena was decisive and went to inform security when she felt someone was watching her." Austin gave a heartfeltpliment. Louis'' thin lips pursed as he nced at Violet. "I forgot to tell you, the man in ck is called Jaden, Sasha''s cousin, he shoulde to seek revenge on you, take your own precautions." After saying that, he turned to leave. "Hmm? That''s gone?" Howe brothers have this attitude? These two are not in the right situation! Austin froze slightly and looked to Violet, "Helena, didn''t Louis tell you about the man in ck before?" Violet''s fingers curled up, "Mr. Evison, you also know information about the man in ck, right? Please give me his details." She wasn''t Louis'' who, Louis wasn''t obligated to tell her about the man in ck was he? "Okay, I''ll send you Jaden''s information and you can see for yourself." Austin sent Jaden''s information to Violet and couldn''t resist asking again, "Helena, did you and Louis have a falling out?" Violet drops her eyes and looks at Jaden''s file without saying a word. Josie aside pushed him away, "Okay you don''t gossip, hurry up to find out that the man in ck is true." "Okay, I''ll go find Louis," Austin said with a few serious moments and turned to leave. Josie went over to see Jaden''s profile, "So this Jaden is here to seek revenge on you?Violet, you must be careful." Violet put the phone away and pursed her lips. She had forgotten what Sasha looked like, but she didn''t expect anyone toe and take revenge for her. It''s obvious that the other party is at fault, right? First floor. Grace searched around and couldn''t find Jaden. I guess he knows to hide himself in the shadows too. Seeing that the security captain was still secretly directing the security personnel to inquire about the waiters, she quickly walked over. "Security captain Reyes, what are you doing?" When the security captain saw that it was Grace, he hurriedly returned " Manager Grace, Miss Elliott alerted me that a suspicious person might have entered the reception, so I was covertly checking it out." Miss Elliott? Violet? She sensed Jaden''s presence? Grace''s eyes shed, "Captain Reyes, are you kidding me, Violet is a senior member of The Johnson Group? What gives you the right to direct you? Let me remind you, today is the first cooperation between The Johnson Group and the Rex''s Group, and the guests are all rich and famous, if you disturb the VIPs and ruin the cooperation because of the suspicion of some irrelevant people, can you afford to be responsible?" She couldn''t let the security captain continue to investigate any further. Otherwise, you will soon find out the problem. "This ......" The security captain was obviously stunned and was a little hesitant. Grace saw that he was moved and took the opportunity to say, "What are you still waiting for, hurry up and tell your people to stop, don''t look for trouble." "Good."N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Chapter 262 Chapter 262 The security captain nods and prepares to shout over the inte. At this point, Louis and Austin came striding forward. "Captain Reyes, did you find anything?" Louis asked. "Reporting to Mr. Johnson, our men are sweeping the area and have found nothing so far." When the security captain saw it was Louis, he hurriedly put the walkie-talkie down. Louis hmmed, "Now I''m sending you a picture of a person, you order it down, if you see this person, control him immediately." Earlier, because of Violet''s words, he was momentarily irritated and never bothered with her again. Fear of being mocked by others as a sex fiend again. But now that the man in ck is likely to run into the hotel, he certainly can''t just sit back and watch. "Captain Reyes, this is the man, hurry up, tell your men to be careful and make sure you catch him." Austin turns up Jaden''s picture and shows it to the security captain. The security captain hurriedly took pictures and sent them to his security group. "Mr. Johnson, Mr. Evison, so I instructed them to continue the lineup?" The security captain looked at the two men and confirmed. "Of course we have to line it up and go down." Austin narrowed his eyes, "captain Reyes, what do you mean?" "Mr. Evison, I don''t mean anything else, it''s just that Manager Grace reminded me just now that if we continue to line up like this, I''m afraid we''ll disturb the VIPs." The security captain nced at Grace and returned the look. Grace''s face changed slightly as she touched the sharp light projected by Louis and barely managed to control her heartbeat. "Louis, I just reminded the captain Reyes, after all, today is the first coboration between The Johnson Group and the Rex''s Group, I''m afraid that we are small to mention a big job and scare the guests." Louis looked at her steadily for a few seconds, "Nothing wrong with prevention, Captain Reyes, go ahead." "Yes." The security captain started shouting over the inte. Grace''s spine was a little chilly and her heart was anxious. Louis actually found out about Jaden? I even know what he looks like! So won''t Jaden be found soon? "Louis, I''ll go ahead and get busy then." Grace collected her mind and spoke to Louis. Louis did not say anything, watching Grace''s back dark eyes slightly stared. On one side, Austin rubbed his chin and raised an eyebrow when he saw that Louis had been staring at Grace. "Louis, what are you thinking? I see that this Grace is not easy, don''t tell me that you have decided to give up Violet and choose Grace instead?" Give up Violet and choose Grace? Even if he chooses to do so, it''s only natural, isn''t it? After all, some people don''t take themselves seriously at all. Louis'' thin lips were pursed, and without a word he struck off. "Hey, Louis, don''t be quiet, huh? Tell me, what''s going on with you and Violet?" "You''re idle?" "I''m not trying to get an idea for you, am I?" "No need." "......" With Jaden on her mind, Violet walked somewhat distractedly towards the bathroom. There is a decorative ss wall in front, which can vaguely illuminate the shadow of a person. Violet inadvertently nced at the person behind her when she saw it reflected on the wall, her body''s cold hairs stood up. Jaden! He followed her! Violet swallowed, feigning ignorance as she headed around the corner, sending Austin on the phone as she went. "Mr. Evison, Jaden showed up ......" On the other end of the phone, Austin was on his feet and rushed to ask for Violet''s location. She then hung up the phone and looked to Louis beside her. "Louis, Jaden really showed up, and he''s following Violet right now." Louis''s face sank, "Where is it?" "In the northwest corner." Louis turned around and took a big step forward, his straight suit pants bringing out a harsh cold wind. Northwest corner. Violet controlled her heartbeat and headed for a less crowded area. She was afraid to go to a crowded ce and Jaden would disturb the guests in case he wanted to kill her. "Sister, where are you going?" Evie, tray in hand with cupcakes on it,es out of a room where the items are kept and greets her with a smile. Violet gave her a wink and called out, "Evie, where''s Isaac? Wasn''t he just with you? I''m looking for him for something." Evie froze, "Isaac he ......" Violet pulled her back and was trying to get her out of here when she saw Jaden walking straight towards her in the afterglow. Violet swallowed hard and violently grabbed the cake on the tray and threw it at Jaden. "Evie, get out of here." Evie gave a jolt and watched wide-eyed as Jaden wiped his face and yelled, pulling out a sharp knife and chasing after Violet. Who is this man? Is he the man in ck who wants to kill Sister! Evie''s face went white and she subconsciously followed. Ahead of them, Jaden yells and chases after Violet. Violet''s heart beat faster as she kept running forward. At this point, two security officers arrived at the news. Violet was so happy that she said, "Come on, he''s Jaden, grab him." The security officer rushed up and wrestled with Jaden. Jaden had a knife in his hand, but was no match for the security officers and was soon wounded. One by one, other security personnel came over and began to surround him. Jaden saw that the situation was not right and tried to escape. He saw Evie standing off to the side, suddenly bumped through a security officer, rushed over and grabbed her by the hand. "Evie." Violet blushed and gave a startled cry. "Sis." Evie''s face lost its blood, a look of panic. "Get out of the way, or I''ll kill her." Jaden held the knife to Evie''s neck with a fierce look on his face. The security personnel who stopped in front of him looked at me, I looked at you, and hesitated for a moment. Violet walked over quickly, "Jaden, it''s me you''re trying to kill, you let her go." "Want me to let her go? Fine, Violet, you kill yourself in front of me, and I''ll let her go." Jaden red angrily at Violet and barked. Violet tugged on her fist, "Jaden, if I kill myself, you won''t get away with it. Here''s the deal, I''ll rece her, and I''ll let you carry me safely out of the hotel." She has to stabilize Jaden and get Evie out first. Jaden stared at Violet deadpan, like he was thinking about what she was saying. Half a long time, he said viciously "Okay, youe over and change her." Violet swallowed hard and took a step closer. "Sister, don''t." Evie''s eyes were red with fear and worry. With a cating smile toward her, Violet was yanked over by Jaden. At that moment, Louis and Austin arrived in a hurry. Louis'' face sank and sank when he saw that Jaden had grabbed Violet. "Jaden, let her go." Jaden held on to Violet, "Get out of the way or I''ll get her." "Jaden, holding a woman hostage, are you still a man?" Louis stepped forward, his dark eyes locked on Jaden, his voice deep and cold. "You want revenge for Sasha, right? Then pleasee at me! I''m the one who called the police, and I''m the one who said hello to the people above and punished Sasha severely." Hearing this, Jaden''s eyes filled with anger. "It was you? So it was you who did this to Sasha!" "It''s me!" Louis moved forward without a trace, "Jaden, you can''t even find the right person to seek revenge on, how stupid." "You!" "You what?" Louis continued to slowly approach him, "Jaden, you like Sasha, but she doesn''t necessarily like you, does she? Why did she go to the police? It''s because she''s trying to defend her lover! You''re so green, you''re not ashamed of it!" "You, you try that again?" Jaden''s face changed a thousand times as he was irritated. Louis continued to approach without moving, "I''ll say it ten times more but it won''t change the fact that you''re a cuckold. jaden, you''re a wimp, you''re not capable of going after Sasha''s lover and you''re not afraid to fight me alone!" "Do you think I wouldn''t dare?" Jaden was irritated and pointed the finger with the sharp knife at Louis. Violet listened quietly to the two men''s conversation, knowing that Louis was deliberately distracting Jaden''s attention. When the sharp knife in Jaden''s hand was removed from her neck, she jabbed her elbow into Jaden''s chest. Jaden ate the pain, and the force of her confinement loosened. Violet took the opportunity to push him away. At the same time, Louis stepped forward with an arrow, kicked the knife out of his hand, and backhanded a takedown to bring Jaden under control. Security personnel who were standing by in ce swarmed Jaden and grabbed him. Finally caught! Violet a hanging heart slowly fell to the ground. The line of sight fell on Louis, thinking of the calmness and ease with which he saved her just now, the tide of the heart rose and fell slightly. He saved himself once again. What is owed to him never seems to be repaid. "Violet." "Sis." Josie and Evie walked quickly to Violet''s side and held her up, with worry in their eyes. "Don''t you guys worry, I''m fine." Violet smiled reassuringly toward the two. "Violet, you''re hurt." Isaac hurriedly arrived and saw blood stains on Violet''s neck and his eyebrows knitted together. Violet rubbed her neck, "It''s fine, a little bruise." It was probably cut by Jaden''s knife. Louis nced at Violet, suppressed the look of concern in his eyes, and dropped his eyes to Jaden, who was under the control of the security personnel. "Jaden, let me ask you, who brought you in?" Security was well implemented today. How in the world did this Jaden get in? In the crowd, Grace, who had rushed over at the news, looked at Jaden and her heart beat into her N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. throat. She was familiar with the location of the hotel and knew which area was a dead end for surveince, so she sneaked Jaden in. This useless Jaden must not give her and Marcus up! Jaden stared at Louis with a deadly re, the resentment in his eyes like he wanted to put Louis to death. Louis looked straight at him, watched his face slowly turn from green to white, and frowned. "Jaden, you ......" Without waiting for him to finish, Jaden''s body suddenly jerked, his eyelids rolled over and he foamed at the mouth. "No good, Louis, he looks like he should be having a seizure." Austin warned. "Rush to the doctor." Louis''s dark eyes were slightly frozen, and hemanded in a deep voice. Security personnel rushed to take people out of the reception. In the crowd, Grace''s nervousness was slightly relieved. Luckily, she and Marcus are safe for now. Only this Jaden is not at all useful, not even stirred up half a ssh before being caught! His eyes fell on the face of Marcus, who was slowly approaching, and his heart tightened again when he saw his cloudy face. If the auction ends sessfully today, he will definitely me himself for being useless again! Chapter 263 Chapter 263 Marcus watched as Jaden was taken away, his face grim. He came here today, waiting for a good show. But I did not expect to see the good show of others, but he became a part of the y. Jasmine and Oscar got into that whole thing and word got around in high society. Because of Jasmine''s bravado, she was close to announcing to others that she was her fianc¨¦e, and others looked at her with a meaningful gaze. That''s just as well. He''s just waiting for Jaden to make a big deal out of it, preferably to make a scene and have the N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. auction suspended. He could then take the opportunity to get Rex to change his mind. It could even be used to start a wave of public opinion against The Johnson Group. But to my surprise, Jaden had only been on the scene for a few minutes when the man was subdued! He didn''t even get a little picture! Simply can not make waves! The n all fell through. Pissed off! "Mr. Johnson, today is such an important asion, but your hotel has not even done the most basic security measures? It seems you don''t value the cooperation with the Rex''s Group!" Marcus was notfortable in his heart and could only go through the motions and taunt. Louis looked at him, his thin lips lightly opened, "Mr. Scott is right to criticize, it is my mismanagement, fortunately there is no danger." The man looked like he was on cloud nine, and in turn, he looked exasperated. Marcus grimaced, snorted coldly and turned to stride away. Louis stared at his back, his dark eyes slightly narrowed. Jaden''s ess to the hotel should have nothing to do with Marcus. After all, he was the only one who hoped most that today''s auction would note to a sessful conclusion. So who will Marcus pay off to bring Jaden into the hotel? Could it be Jasmine? Is she that capable? "Captain Reyes, tighten security measures, if the next auction event goes wrong again, I''ll hold you ountable." Louis temporarily suppressed his inner doubts and gave a stern order to Captain Reyes. "Yes." Captain Reyes'' spine straightened and he hurriedly responded. Grace in the crowd bit her lip and her heart went up and down. And that''s the end of it? What should she do next? Will Louis find out that this matter is rted to himself? She must not let Louis doubt herself. "Violet, I''ll take you to get some medicine." Isaac saw that it was over and turned to Violet. Violet subconsciously nced at Louis and moved her feet to go up and thank him. At that moment, Grace walked quickly to Louis and held him up. "Louis, are you okay? I was scared to death, fortunately you were wise and got that thug under control." Louis didn''t say anything, just looked at Violet for a second, then turned indifferently and left in stride. The man''s back is still tall and upright, walking in a cold and arrogant and reserved manner. Violet pursed her lips and suddenly felt the wound on her neck hurt. "Violet, let''s go." Isaac prodded. Violet hmmed, suppressed her inner turmoil, and went with Isaac to get her medication. Not many people know about this little episode because it happened in the northwest corner where not many people are. The guests in the hotel were still pushing their sses and waiting eagerly for the opening of the auction. Finally, the banquet guests all arrived, and the hotel entered the auction session. Violet wanted to leave because her daughter was the only one in the house. It was just that Bianca had asked someone toe to her on purpose and she couldn''t refuse, so she took out her cell phone and was ready to report to her daughter. Pulling out her phone, she noticed a caller ID on it. It was my daughter''s cell phone calling. She called back in a hurry. Chapter 264 Chapter 264 "Mommy." "Erin , are you scared at home?" N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. "No! Mommy, Grandma sent someone to pick me up and take me to Luka''s house." Violet: "......" No way! Why did my daughter go to the Johnson Manor again? Violet stroked her forehead and was about to speak when Maria''s voice came over the current. "Violet ah, just Luka and Erin in the video call, I learned that the little girl alone at home, so I sent someone to pick her up the Johnson Manor toe, you do not rush, at ease in the reception y it." Hearing these words, Violet''s heart warmed and embarrassed. "Grandma, it''s such a bother, then I''lle pick up Erin as soon as the event is over ." "There''s no rush.If it''s toote, you don''t have toe pick up Erin. You know, I sleep early, and I''ll have to get up to greet you when youe." Maria said this on purpose, trying to keep Erin at the Johnson Manor. Violet lost her smile and didn''t know how to take it. "Okay, you get busy, I''ll hang up now." Maria hung up the phone after she finished. Violet looked at the screen and eventually put her phone away and entered the auction room. "Helena, here." Bianca sat in the middle of the first row and gestured for Violet to pass. Violet smiled faintly and sat down on her side. "Helena, what happened to your neck?" Bianca asked, surprised to see Violet''s neck wrapped in gauze. "Nothing, I identally cut a gash, my friend Xiao Ti Da Zu, had to bandage it for me." Violet rubbed her neck and exined with a smile. "So, huh? Be more careful next time." Bianca admonished with concern. "Thanks Bianca for asking." Violet smiled. A few momentster, the auction began. The money raised from this auction will eventually be donated to poor mountainous areas to support special needs students. Because it is a charity auction, we all know that this kind of auction is to boomerang the name. So in the auction process, many guests will offer their treasures and then bid back with a certain high price to show their generosity. The host introduced one exotic treasure after another, and there were shouts of bids. Violet is not good at this stuff, but it''s just a hoot to watch. Only when the host was introducing one of the rings, the look on her face changed slightly. "The next ring we''re going to show you is definitely a rare gem." The host showed the rings on the tray in all directions. "This is a ring donated by Mrs. Bergen of Dewgrove City. This ring is clear, engraved with Pegasus, and is an ancestral ring of THE Bergen family. The starting bid is $1 million." The moderator knocked down the wooden hammer, and one by one, people started to bid. Violet looked steadily at the ring, only to feel that it was so simr to the ring her mother had left her. Only, the ring in the auction was engraved with Pegasus, while the one she had was engraved with Phoenix. These two rings are definitely rted! Violet pursed her red lips, her heart pounding. She has never seen her mom and dad since she was a child, much less know who her real father is. When Auntie Paige was alive, she had asked her about her father. But Auntie Paige shook her head helplessly, because she didn''t know either. Auntie Paige says her mother was also a little-known makeup artist when she was alive. She had been out on the road and came back one day out of the blue, that is, pregnant and back. At that time, grandparents were shocked and repeatedly asked who the father of the child was. But no matter how much they try to side step her, her mother just won''t say anything. It''s just that Auntie Paige asionally sees her mother fidgeting with a ring. The ring, however, is a relic that my mother left for herself. She thought that perhaps the ring was the engagement of her mother and father. The engagement! So can she find her real father through the ring? Chapter 265 Chapter 265 Violet''s mind wandered, and she saw that the host had already struck the hammer. "Okay, $10 million for the third time! The ring, in the end, still goes to Mrs. Bergen of Dewgrove City for her small contribution to the children of the mountains." The host''s impassioned voice rang out and the audience apuded. Violet subconsciously turned around and looked towards the bidders. It was a middle-aged noblewoman dressed in a graceful and elegant manner. She rose and nodded slightly to the crowd, then took her seat. Beside her sat David, who arrived at some point. Violet suddenly remembered that David was the Bergen family of Dewgrove City. David''s father was second in line at home, so the noblewoman in front of him should be David''s Auntie. Violet pursed her red lips as she watched David and the noblewoman exchange words, her heart ebbing and flowing. If the relic that her mother left for herself is the object of her engagement with her father, then could her own real father be rted to David''s Auntie? N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. After all, it was Mrs. Bergen who offered the ring that was just up for bidding! Once the thought came to her, Violet sat back a bit. She wanted to know who her father was. Want to know why he abandoned his mother? Does he know that she still exists as his daughter? Finally, the auction, whichsted for three hours, came to a sessful end. After congratting Mr. Wood and Mrs. Wood, Violet got up and left the auction room to look for David and his Auntie. After the auction was the reception, and the guests poured into the ballroom. Violet looked around and soon found David and her Auntie. "David." Violet carried her skirt and ran quickly. Davidughed and said, "Helena, you look beautiful today." "Thank you for thepliment." Violet smiled, her eyes fell on the noblewoman and gave a slight nod towards her. "Hello Mrs. Bergen." Penny Stewart looked Violet up and down and gave a condescending hmmm. David introduced "Auntie Penny, this is Crotosi City''s famous makeup artist Helena, who was invited as the makeup director for the Sunlite Model Contest not long ago." At that, Penny looked at Violet again, "Yeah! The little girl is quite talented." "Thank you Mrs. Bergen for thepliment." Violet heard the disdain in Penny''s tone and didn''t take it personally. Sheplimented, "Mrs. Bergen is so elegant, and so generous. Those children in the mountains are blessed." She had to inquire about the ring and had to kiss this noblewoman''s ass first. "Yo, this little mouth is quite capable of coaxing people." Penny wasplimented and was in a rather good mood, and her attitude was not as cold and arrogant as it was just now. Violet smiled lightly, took the wine handed to her by the waiter and handed it to her, walking her forward. "Mrs. Bergen, that''s a really beautiful ring you pulled out! I''ve never seen a ring that beautiful." "That''s not true! It''s the Bergen family''s ancestral ring, one for each of David''s dad and his great uncle." Mrs. Bergen took a sip of her wine, "David''s father''s ring has Phoenix on it, and the ring I have with Pegasus on it is my husband''s." David''s dad''s ring has Phoenix on it? But obviously the ring is with her right now! Or is it just a coincidence? Is she overthinking? Violet pursed her red lips, and her heart felt like a cat''s w was scratching there. "Helena, why are you so interested in this ring?" David inquired curiously. "Oh, nothing, it''s just that I heard it was an ancestral ring and thought there must be some kind of love legend about this ring." Violet made a perfunctory remark. David shook his head and said, "Women, ah, just like the legend of love and affection." Violet curled her lips and did not deny it. Mrs. Bergen looked at him andughed, "David, that sounds like you don''t want to be in a rtionship. By the way, Nancy is back home, so it''s time for you to get in touch with her." Nancy ? Chapter 266 Chapter 266 Violet, who was thinking about her mind, heard the name and snapped her eyes to David. Which Nancy? It couldn''t be Evie''s half-sister Nancy Williams, could it? "Auntie Penny, I told you, I''m not attracted to her. Please, please, will you stop pulling my strings?" David had a look of helplessness on his face. "This child, Nancy is not good? Good-looking, highly educated, although not yet graduated, but is already a small famous designer." Mrs. Bergen scolded, "Of course, she does note from an educated family, but she is excellent and will definitely be a good wife for you in the future." David looked at the sky speechlessly and saw someoneing over to exchange pleasantries with Mrs. Bergen, and quickly said, "Auntie Penny, you guys have a nice chat, I''ll go find my friend." After saying that, he pulled Violet and left. Violet hurriedly said hello to Mrs. Bergen and followed David out. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. "David, so you have a girlfriend? Which girl is that Nancy?" David nced at her, "Helena, for the record, I don''t have a girlfriend, and even if I did, it wouldn''t be Nancy, but you should know this person, she''s your cousin Evie''s half-sister." Sure enough, it''s her! Violet just felt like the world was too small. That Nancy, she''s met a few times. The look is quite beautiful, but very good at pretending, a mind to be among the upper ss circle. Such a woman is too offensive and unworthy of David. "How did you Auntie manage to set you up with Nancy? You know, Nancy''s family is a little rich, but his father is a no-nonsense thug." Or a man with no character who abandoned his wife and daughter when he had money. Violet doesn''t have a good feeling about this aunt of hers at all. "Nancy''s mother and I Auntie are bosom friends, and when I was a child, I moved Nancy toward me every day, and it was annoying enough." David shook his head with a headache. So that''s it. Violet looked at David with some sympathy. The side lines of the man''s face are very handsome. His eyes, the end of the eyes slightly up, flowing between the amorous and seductive. Violet''s almond eyes moved slightly, and something suddenly shed in her mind. Why does she feel a bit like David? Especially those eyes. "Ahem, Helena, I know I''m handsome, but don''t look at me like that. Although I, I guess, have quite a crush on you, but I wouldn''t dare to pursue you." David saw Violet looking straight at him and coughed lightly and teased a couple of times. Violet returned to her senses and cried a little. This David, from the time they first met, was cast in the same light as himself for no apparent reason. Why? Is it because there is some kind of pull in the underworld? If the ring by her side was the one David''s father gave to her mother, wouldn''t David''s father be her own father? Then she and David are brother and sister! There was a sudden surge of excitement in the heart. Violet''s almond eyes shed and she pulled David towards the corner. "Uh, Helena, what''s wrong?" "Oh, I see your eyebrow shape needs to be fixed, it just so happens that I''m free, so I''ll help you fix it!" She''s going to pull two of David''s hairs and do a gicparison with herself! "No, Helena, is it a free eyebrow trim?" "Yeah." "So kind?" "I don''t mind paying if you want to." the Johnson Manor. Jasmine went crazy and smashed things in the bedroom. Rosalie pushed the door in sharply, looking at the mess all over the floor, shocked and anxious. "Jasmine, calm down, aren''t you going to the auction? What''s going on here?" "Mom, I don''t want to live anymore, I''ve been victimized by those two sisters of Violet!" Chapter 267 Chapter 267 Jasmine hugged Rosalie and cried out. Rosalie soothed her and sat down on the couch with her arm around her. "Stop crying and tell my mom what happened?" "It''s all those bitches at Violet." Jasmine tells the story of how she was knocked out by Evie and then had sex with Oscar. Rosalie''s chest rose and fell in anger. "What a revolt! How dare they do this to you?" "Oooh, Mom, what am I going to do? Now that everyone in high society knows I had sexwith Oscar, Marcus will never marry me! It''s all because of Violet and those bitches! Mom, I''m going after them!" Jasmine''s face was filled with a grimace of excitement. Rosalie quickly soothed, "Jasmine, take it easy, Mom will take it out for you." "How can I get out of it? Mom, please help me, I can''t swallow this anger!" Rosalie patted Jasmine''s hand, a cold glint in her eyes. "Violet''s sisters, don''t they still have their elders? You forget that Miller Williams, Violet''s aunt, and his current wife, Alisha Wright, sent Violet to the Johnson family as a widow for money." Hearing this, Jasmine was unsure. "Mom, what do you mean?" "the Williams are snobs, especially Alisha, a woman who is very good at camping. If I throw a little bait at them, I''m sure they''ll catch it." Rosalieughed coldly, "And my request is that they marry the Violet sisters off again! Preferably to old, ugly, perverted men! That''s the way to take it out of you!" Because of Violet''s rtionship, she knows the Williams family''s characters by heart. Miller Williams is a carpenter by birth, and then by chance, he started a constructionpany with some friends. Slowly developed. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Men are inferior. Miller made his fortune and divorced his original wife, Violet''s Auntie Paige, Evie''s mother, before marrying his current wife, Alisha. Alisha, who was originally just a small ountant, is quite good-looking and has a very active mind. She relied on her beauty, hooked up with Miller before he was divorced, step by step, a sessful third party to the top. Now topped with a rich wife''s title, racking their brains to cling to the powerful, just to be among the upper ss. They also have a daughter, Nancy, who is studying design at a prestigious college abroad. Tuition alone costs millions a year. I heard that when Violet married into the Johnson family in exchange for the bride-price, all for Nancy''s education to go. It is clear that in the eyes of the Williams, the Violet sisters are tools to make money for them! "Fine, Mom, let''s do it! The Violet sisters have done me in, and I''ll make sure they live a miserable life when they marry." Jasmine listened to Rosalie''s words with a look of agreement. Rosalie hooked her lips, "I''ll call Alisha right now." Townhouses in the western suburbs. Alisha was ttered when she received the call from Rosalie. "It''s Mrs. Johnson, isn''t it? Oh, it''s been a long time, how''s your health these days?" "Mrs. Williams, I''ll spare you the pleasantries. Do you know that your stepdaughter Evie, and that Violet, have done my daughter a great disservice?" Hearing this, Alisha''s face gave a smile and hurriedly asked, "What''s going on?" "I don''t want to go into the details of the process, but in short, if you still want the Williams family to be among the upper ss, listen to me" Rosalie put her request into words. Alisha''s eyes rolled and her mind wandered. "Mrs. Johnson, Violet is not Miller''s daughter, and it may be difficult for us to be her master. But Evie''s marriage, Miller can still make the decision. This ungrateful daughter, how dare she harm Miss Johnson?I know, when Milleres back, I will talk to him about this." Chapter 268 Chapter 268 "Good, as long as you have taken out the anger for my daughter as I instructed you to do, then I will definitely invite you to y in any future activities of my circle." Rosalie throws out the bait. With her status to open the invitation, it means that the other party has entered her eyes and be a member of the upper ss circle. Alisha''s heart fluttered with joy and she answered in unison. Although at first they wanted to marry the Johnson family, so as to join the high society, but because Violet married for Evie, so they did not get a little bride price, and did not get half of the glory. What''s more, Violet divorced Louis without saying a word, and their dreams of bing upper-ss people were dashed. This time is different, as long as they do things for Rosalie, then they the Williams family is one step closer to the upper echelon. "Alisha, who''s on the phone with? My daughter is almost at the door." Miller came down from upstairs and spoke up. "Miller, that daughter and niece of yours are in big trouble!" Alisha looks to Miller and puts Rosalie''s words into words. Miller''s brow furrowed slightly, "Mrs. Johnson means we have to find inws for Violet and Evie? And the inws can''t be good? That''s..." Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. "What''s wrong? Are you distressed?" Alisha said, "Miller, Mrs. Johnson said, as long as we punish the sisters for her, she will promote us the Williams family. you have always wanted to do business with the Johnson family, right? As long as we have a good rtionship with Mrs. Johnson, we are still worried that there is no big business to do in the future?" Hearing this, Miller''s original mind, which was a bit hesitant, immediately stretched. "Alisha, that said, but they are at least one of my nieces and one of my biological daughters, so we can''t find them a family that is too poor, it will fall on deaf ears." Miller put on a show. Alisha knew his virtues, took his arm and said, "Don''t worry, I will pick a rich master for them. Women, as long as they have money, their future life should not be too prosperous." Miller doesn''t really feel for the sisters. If they really cared about them, they would not have forced Evie to marry Louis and remain a widow. In the end, it was Violet who married into the Johnson family for Evie. This time, she has to think big, first coax Evie, her stepdaughter, back, and then marry her off quickly! As for Violet, she held off a step. "Okay, you''ll be the one to take care of this." Miller nodded. At that moment, there was amotion at the door. Immediately afterwards, a pretty-looking young woman walked in. "Dad, Mom, I''m home." "Ouch, my good girl, you''re back atst." When Alisha saw that Nancy was back, she came up and hugged her with a big smile on her face. Nancy hugged her back with an intimate look on her face. Miller looked at mother and daughter with a smile, "Well, Alisha, your daughter just got off the ne, she must be hungry and tired, so let her rest." "Yes, yes, Faye, help thedy take the luggage up, and you guys go cut some fruit." Alisha instructed the maid and pulled Nancy to sit on the sofa, looking her up and down. "Look, we haven''t seen each other for half a year, my daughter has be beautiful again, she must have been courted a lot, right?" At that, Nancy said in a delicate voice, "Mom, are there still few people who have been courting me since I was a child? You don''t know who I have in my heart?" "Yes, yes, don''t you just love David?" Alisha took Nancy''s hand, "Don''t worry, I''m so close to him Auntie, I''ll make sure you get what you want." "Mom!" Nancy called out shyly to her mother, "David is a big star, there must be a lot of people who like him. I even saw Violet and him having a scandalst time! I''m really afraid he''ll be seduced by someone." The first time I heard this, Alisha''s eyes glittered, "Violet, she''s just a second-hand girl, how can she She won''t let anyone take her daughter''s happiness away from her. Chapter 269 Chapter 269 Josie''s apartment. "Hey, where''s Erin?" Josie put down her bag, searched for Erin, and blushed. "Josie, don''t look, she''s been picked up by Maria at the Johnson Manor." Violet knocked on her sore calf and spoke helplessly. It is now after 10 pm and the old man must be asleep. She was too embarrassed to bother her. We will have to wait until tomorrow to pick up our daughter from the Johnson Manor. "Hmm? So that''s it? Scared the hell out of me." Josie let out a breath and sat down next to Violet to stare at her. Violet nced at her andughed, "Why are you looking at me with such affectionate eyes?" N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Josie blinked, "Violet, tell me honestly, what happened between you and Louis before? Why is he suddenly cold to you?" Just now at the reception, Louis'' attitude towards Violet was really much colder. What is going on? Violet was silent, lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Probably because I called him a dog licker?" "Huh? You called him a dog licker? You, you''re hurting people''s pride too." Josie''s eyes widened. But isn''t it? Violet let out a dark sigh, suppressing the difort inside, and got up to walk towards the bathroom. "Okay Josie, I''m tired, I''m going to take a shower." "No, Violet, you really don''t feel anything for Louis?" "Josie, I just want to be a lesbian with you." Violet made a casual remark and went into the bedroom to get a change of clothes. Closing the door, she thought of something and took out a box from the bottom of the cab. Opened, there was a ring inside. This is the legacy that my mother left for herself. Could it be an engagement gift from her father to her mother? Violet pursed her lips and took out a stic bag from her bag. It contained a few hairs that she had plucked from David''s head. Violet raised her hand and plucked two hairs from her head and put them in the stic bag. She''ll send it for testing when it''s ready tomorrow. Whether her real father is the Bergen or not, one test will tell. Superior Apartments. Grace called Marcus''s phone again, but it was already off. He doesn''t answer his own phone! Must be ming himself for being useless again! Grace was so distracted that she couldn''t wait to run to Marcus'' side and talk to him. Today she arranged things properly ah. me that Jaden for being useless, you can''t me her! Howe you don''t answer her calls? She still had to talk to him about Jaden? What if Jaden bites out on him and her? Tick, a messagees in on the phone. Grace nced over and it was the person she had sent to keep an eye on Jaden at the hospital who had called back. "Jaden''s surgery is over, but he''s still unconscious. The doctors say that even if he wakes up, he will only be in a vegetative state." Jaden became a vegetable. Grace let out a long breath and her heart settled down a little. As long as Jaden can''t talk, Louis won''t find out she''s Marcus'' mole. Next thing you know, she''ll be able to keep helping Marcus! Just how could Marcus not answer her calls? Grace thought of something and the corner of her mouth hooked. Marcus is not talking to her right now, so I guess he must be in a bad mood. But not necessarily because of her. Isn''t there Jasmine? I can''t believe Jasmine and Oscar got together. Chapter 270 Chapter 270 It must have been humiliating for Marcus when word got out in high society. There will definitely be no more in-depth contact with Jasmine in the future. So, she is still the only one who can help him! Even if he doesn''t answer her calls now, when his anger subsides, he can still only rely on her! Thinking about this, Grace''s mood brightened. I don''t know who is behind this, but I think it''s Violet and Josie and the others. She should really thank them! The following day. Violet went to the hospital, sent a sample, and then headed to the Johnson Manor. When I entered the Johnson Manor, I saw two children ying in the garden from a distance. Maria, apanied by a servant, stood by and watched with a smile on her face. "Erin , Luka," Violet called out. "Mommy." Erin heard the call and ran happily towards her. The little girl was wearing a pill hair and a new outfit, which Maria had someone carefully dress up for her. Violet caught her, smiled, and scratched her nose. "You, you, are so good at running." And do not recognize! "Hehehe, Mommy, I slept with Luka against night." Erin hugged and pampered Violet. Luka also ran over, her eyes shining brightly as she called out, "Auntie Violet." "Good boy." Violet stroked his little head and smiled faintly. "O Violet, you have finallye to see Grandma, I have borrowed the light of your daughter to see you." Maria said with a smile. Violet''s heart is warm and embarrassed. "Sorry Grandma, I''ve been a little busytely." "I know, Grandma doesn''t me you, as long as you don''t me me for taking matters into my own hands and bringing your daughter to stay with me." Maria said with a smile. "Where are your words, how could I me you?" "Then it''s a deal. If you''re too busy to take care of the little girl in the future, let here to the Johnson Manor to keep mepany." Maria took the opportunity to say. Violet lost her smile and stroked the little heads of the two children. "Since I''m here, I have to cook your famous meal, Violet, do you mind staying with me for a while." Maria said again. Violet let the two little ones go y and walked over to Maria to hold her. "Got it Grandma, making it sound like how reluctant I am to apany you." "Are you so willing to keep mepany? If you really cared about me, you wouldn''t be unable to hear my heart." Maria spoke meaningfully. Violet knew it by heart andughed as she digressed. "Grandma, are you feeling well this time? I haven''t massaged you for a long time, let me massage you "Bad girl." Maria scolded with augh. Violetughed lightly and talked with Maria in a casual manner. When she saw that it was about time and went into the kitchen to make food, Maria asked the housekeeper to call Louis and ask him toe back. The Johnson Group. When Louis received a phone call from the housekeeper and heard that Violet and her daughter were at the Johnson Manor, his dark eyes flickered. "How did they get to be at the Johnson Manor?" "Maria picked Erin up at the Johnson Manorst night, and Miss Elliott is here to pick Erin up today." The steward replied truthfully. Louis'' thin lips were slightly pursed, and he said half-heartedly, "I know." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Is Grandma trying to set him up with Violet again? But his pride has long been stepped on by that woman. He can no longer shy away from being stepped on. With that in mind, Louis found Grace''s phone number and dialed it. "Grace, where is it? Get ready and follow me back to the Johnson Manor." Chapter 271 Chapter 271 the Johnson Manor. Violet is in the kitchen cooking. "Do you know that the young master just came back and brought a woman back with him." "I saw it too! That person seems to be young master Luka''s birth mother!" "Why did the young master bring back the young master''s birth mother? Is he nning to marry her for marriage?" "No way? What about former Mrs. Johnson?" "You said it all, she''s former Mrs. Johnson!" "......" The whispering of servants came faintly to my ears. Violet was staring at the heat of the soup when she heard the chatter and froze a little. Louis brought Grace back to the Johnson Manor? It seems that the two are really close to a good thing? Yes, the two of them have a son, so wouldn''t it be logical for them to get married? The water on the pot was puffing out, putting out the fire. Violet was startled and subconsciously went to turn off the fire. Water from the edge of the pot dripped onto the back of her hand at once. It hurts like hell. Violet pursed her lips and put her hand under the water cage to rinse. Wasn''t it expected that the two would get married? What does she need to be so distracted for? The living room. "Grandma." Grace said hello to Maria with a low brow. Maria gave her a look that didn''t look good. "Louis,e out here for a minute." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! What is the meaning of this great grandson? Why did you bring Grace when you knew Violet was here? Louis was silent and followed Maria out. Grace slowly straightened her back and surveyed the Johnson Manor, a hint of smugness shed in her eyes. She really didn''t expect that Louis would suddenly bring himself back to the Johnson Manor. This is the intention to marry their own rhythm ah! Originally, she was still worried about how to coax Marcus. I didn''t expect things to move quickly. She is Mrs. Johnson as soon as Louis marries himself. When that happens, what''s the worry about helping Marcus to swallow up The Johnson Group? Outside. Maria looked at Louis, "Louis, tell Grandma, what are you singing about? Why did you bring that woman when you knew Violet and her daughter were with me?" Hearing this, Louis was silent, "Grandma, Grace is Luka''s biological mother, for Luka''s sake, I deserve to give her the name she deserves." "You mean, you''re nning to marry that woman?" Maria wrinkled her brow. Louis did not say anything, a handsome face can not see any emotion. Maria''s old brow knitted tighter, "What about Violet? You''re really not thinking about her?" "Grandma, we''re divorced, she has nothing to do with me now." Louis returned in a light voice with his hands in his pockets. Maria had a probing look on her face, "Louis, is there something going on between you and Violet? You tell Grandma, and Grandmaes to mediate." Obviously the two were quite interesting some time ago. Howe the situation has suddenly changed so much? "Grandma, as I said, I no longer have any rtionship with Violet. And Grace is Luka''s biological mother, and I have to be responsible for her." Louis aggravated his tone a bit and turned around and walked towards the living room after he finished. This kid, clearly gambling with whom. Maria stared at Louis'' back and bellyached. In the living room, Grace is still touring the Johnson family''syout. I met Violet who came out of the kitchen with the dishes. Grace raised an eyebrow, a trace of surprise shed in her eyes. Violet was actually at the Johnson Manor? And how did Louis bring her back? Why does it feel like Louis brought her here to demonstrate? "Miss Elliott, are you here to make lunch? Thanks for your hard work." Grace smiled warmly, quite a bit of hostess. Violet curled her lips and did not speak. In the afterglow, she saw Louis'' tall figure walk into the living room. Chapter 272 Chapter 272 "Grace, I''ve kept you waiting, I''ll show you aroundter after dinner." The man''s tone was gentle, and his eyes were soft as water when he looked at Grace. Violet only felt the back of her hand, where the scalding water had just dripped, begin to ache again. She suppressed the emotions in her heart and looked at Maria who came in. "Maria, the meal is ready, so you can call Luka to dine." Maria looked at Violet with a sh of regret in her eyes. "O Violet, hard work." Had she known Louis would bring Grace back, she wouldn''t have asked Violet to stay and cook. "It''s okay." Violet smiled and untied the apron from her body. Shouldn''t she take her daughter away first? Lest it be a vain embarrassment. Louis nced at her, his thin lips pursed. At this time, the two children who had gone out to y were called back by the servant. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. When Erin saw Louis, she ran to him joyfully and hugged his thigh. "Uncle Louis!" Louis lowered his eyes and looked into the little one''s big ck grape-like eyes, not picking her up as usual. Just smiled slightly and stroked her little head. Some indifference. Erin blinked, a glint of doubt in her eyes. Uncle Louis is not hugging her anymore! She missed being lifted up by him! Luka, who followed closely behind, ran out of breath and stood beside Erin, as silent as ever. Louis gave him a look, and the aura around him suddenly turned cold. "When you see your mommying, why don''t you call someone?" The man''s voice is somewhat deep and cold, surrounded by a powerful aura with a deterrent force of non-anger. Children''s world is the most sensitive. Every move adults make allows them to quickly read each other''s minds. Luka froze in ce, her small body unconsciously tensing. Dad is angry! Erin, who was holding Louis''s thigh, slowly let go of Louis and looked at him a little timidly. Uncle Louis is so fierce today! A little scary! "Erin, Mommy has things to do at the store, so we have to go first. Grandma, I''ll take Erin and go first." Violet picked up Erin in a hug, suppressing the inner turmoil and forcing a smile at Maria. Louis'' action just now is to take advantage of Luka and establish authority for Grace! He is a decisive man. Since they have nothing to do with themselves, and with their own daughter is not as fond as before. Pretty good! Just, why is the heart so blocked. "Violet." Maria opened her mouth and looked at Violet''s slim back as she left with her daughter in her arms, but ultimately said nothing. She looked sideways at Louis and cut him a fierce look of anger. "Louis, Grandma really underestimates you. You''re still acting like a big boss at the Johnson Manor. All right, Violet, the freeborer, has cooked lunch, you three take your time to eat." This eldest grandson, who gave up such a good girl as Violet, will have his regretster! Watching Maria go back to her room in a huff, Louis'' thin lips were pursed and a trace of chagrin shed in his eyes. What''s wrong with him? Just because Violet had embarrassed him, he deliberately brought Grace over to show his love. He also deliberately erected prestige for Grace in front of her. Obviously it should be very relieving. Why is the mood inexplicably irritable? "Louis, Luka should be hungry, so shall we start dinner?" Grace''s heart was snickering, but her face was pretending to be a bit clueless. "Hmm." Louis'' throat rolled slightly, steadied his emotions and sat down at the table with Luka in his arms. "Luka, are you happy that our family will be together soon?" Luka doesn''t say anything, just looks at Louis. He''s happy here, so it doesn''t matter if the family is together or not. And whether others are happy or not, he does not know. All he knows is that Dad, right now, doesn''t seem to be happy. Chapter 273 Chapter 273 Violet started the car and drove her daughter back to the store. The little girl was sitting on the passenger side, with her little mouth pouting, with an unhappy face. Violet didn''t hear her and gave her a sideways nce. "What''s wrong? A little mouth can hang an oil bottle." The little girl ttened her mouth and said in a milky voice, "Mommy, does Uncle Louis not like me anymore? He didn''t even hug me just now." Hearing these words, Violet sighed in her heart. "Erin , Uncle Louis is probably in a bad mood today, it''s not that he doesn''t like you. But then again, he''s someone else''s dad, he''s not likely to like you as much as he likes his own kids, so don''t pay too much attention to him, okay?" Violet tried to exin Louis'' behavior as politely as possible, not wanting to hurt her daughter''s little heart. The little girl''s two little short legs wobbled and her little mouth ttened. "How great it would be if Uncle Louis was my dad." She likes Uncle Louis'' so much. How is it not your own dad? Violet nced at the little one with a sh of apology in her eyes. It''s her fault, she let her daughter grow up without aplete family. Back to the store. Evie is getting ready to go out. "Evie, where are you going?" Violet inquired. "Sis, I was just about to call you. My dad called me and said my grandmother is sick and wants me to go back and visit her." Evie returned the call. Violet frowned slightly, "You have to go back? Why don''t I go back with you to see grandma Williams?" Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Since she married into the Johnson family for Evie a year ago and her aunt Miller took the bride-price from the Johnson family, she and Evie have been cut off from the Williams family. If there was nothing going on, she was not in favor of Evie going back. Because the Millers are not nice people and don''t treat Evie like a daughter at all. It''s just that grandma Williams has been good to Evie, and now that she''s sick, it''s time to go back and visit. "No sis, aren''t you recruiting sales clerks today? Go and get busy, we''ll go back together another day when you''re free." Evie smiles and waits for the car at the curb. "Then you take care of yourself and call me if anything happens." Violet admonished. "Got it sis." The car Evie called arrived and she pulled open the door to get in. Thinking of something, she looked back at Violet. "By the way sis, one of the girls who came upstairs to socialize is my alumna, her name is Natalie Stewart and she just asked me specifically to intercede with you to make sure she is epted, she wants to learn makeup with you." Hearing this, Violet smiled, "Okay, I get it." "Then sis, I''m leaving." Evie got in her car and waved goodbye to Violet. After watching the car drive away, Violet went up to the second floor and left her daughter to y with herself while she went into the staff lounge. There were a dozen young girls sitting inside applying for jobs, and the store manager was naming them one by one. "Sister Helena." The store manager said hello to Violet. Violet smiled and gestured for her to continue, while she sat to the side to read the applicants'' information. Because of her fame, she is going to rent a counter in Sky Shopping Mall downtown and open a chain of stores. Before the counter could be rented, she had to train a group of qualified sales clerks. Violet flipped through the information and paused slightly when she saw one of them. Here''s Natalie Stewart''s profile, she''s a junior this year and is quite good looking. Violet raised her eyes and swept around to see Natalie staring at herself. When she saw herself looking at her, she hurriedly put on a smile. Violet and she gave a polite slight nod. The applicants were introducing themselves and when it was Natalie''s turn, she took a deep breath and stood up. "Hi everyone, my name is Natalie Stewart and I majored in aesthetics in college. I admire Miss Helena and hope to be a great makeup stylist like her in the future. I hope Miss Helena will give me a chance to learn from you." Chapter 274 Chapter 274 Her words were official andplimentary in nature. Violet curled her lips politely. To be a qualified makeup artist, you must not only be perceptive but also willing to work hard. It''s not just lip service. I hope these people whoe to apply for jobs will stick around. After everyone''s introductions, the store manager arranged a live practical exercise. Natalie is a student and has no previous experience in makeup. But for Evie''s sake, Violet got the store manager to admit her. "Miss Helena, thank you for giving me a chance, I will try my best." Natalie was delighted and bowed towards Violet. Violet smiled, said a cheer and went to work. Behind her, Natalie''s almond eyes sparkled and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. the Williams Manor. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Alisha is on the phone. "Mrs. Ward, just hurry up and make the wedding arrangements, I can deliver the people today. Good, good, tomorrow I will definitelye to drink the wedding wine with my Miller." She picked a marriage for Evie. As soon as Eviees back, she''ll send someone away immediately! Alisha and the other party exchanged a few more pleasantries and then hung up the phone happily. "Mom, so happy, who are you talking to on the phone?" Nancy pushed her way in, dressed stylishly all around. "It''s the wife of River Ward, the richest man in Wildcross Town. Her son is getting a wife, so let Evie marry him." Alisha smiled smugly. As long as Evie marries well, she will not only get arge bride-price, but also be able to take credit to Rosalie. Two birds with one stone! Nancy''s almond eyes shed, "Mom, I remember that the son of the richest man seems to be thirty-five years old, right? He''s still retarded, and he was disfigured a few years ago because he yed with fire at home, right?" "Gee, if he wasn''t like this, how could that dead girl Evie get her turn to enjoy her happiness?" Alisha snorted, "And her family has plenty of money, so as long as Evie marries in, she will have endless wealth and prosperity. See, only a stepmother like me would be so kind as to think about her for the rest of her life." Hearing this, Nancy let out a giggle. "Mom, you''re a good talker. All right, I don''t care about you, I''m going out." She had already heard something from her mother when she returned and knew that Evie and Violet had offended the hostess of the Johnson family. Those two sisters, they can have their suffering. "Where are you going, daughter, all dressed up?" "Go visit the ss." She''s going to visit David''s ss! RW Styling Studio. Violet got a call from the mall. "Miss Elliott, there is a counter on the first floor whose contract has expired and is ready to quit, are you interested?" "Got a free counter? Yes, let''s meet and talk. Violet was so happy that she put down the work at hand and drove to Sky Shopping Mall. Because it was Sunday, the Sky Shopping Mall was particrly busy today. Arge booth was also made in an open space on the first floor. Violet nced over and found David''s portrait sitting next to the disy case. It''s a menswear brand that David endorses doing a campaign. Several staff members were still busy, looking as if they were on the verge of a disaster. I think David should be thereter. Violet couldn''t care less and hurriedly ran to the mall''s Merchandising Department. Chapter 275 Chapter 275 "Manager Hamilton, I''m Violet. your Merchandiser and I said there was a counter avable on the first floor for rent, and I''m here to discuss business." Violet ran to the Merchandising Department on the third floor and ran into the person in charge. The manager was about to go out, he looked at the time and said, "Let''s go, I''m about to go to the first floor." "Good." The two came to the first floor. Violet looked at a small counter in the corner and frowned, "Manager Hamilton, isn''t there another counter?" The location of this counter is too remote. Not only near the corner, but also not exclusively in the makeup area, but near the shoe area. "No more." The manager said, "Miss Elliott, this counter is also well vacated. If you don''t want it, then I will send out a notice. As soon as I send out a notice, there will definitely be arge number of merchants to grab it." People in the Merchandising Department will say this to stimte tenants to ce orders immediately. Violet wrinkled her brow in contemtion, some hesitation to rent this counter. At that moment, there was amotion not far away. The manager looked back and was refreshed, "Mr. Johnson is here to do his rounds, so let''s leave it at that." Louis ising to the mall! Yes, Sky Shopping Mall is part of The Johnson Group. Violet looked up and saw not far away, Louis was surrounded by a group of peopleing this way. The man is tall and long-legged, with a personalized dark suit wrapped around his long body, which is so striking in the crowd. Thinking of the not-so-pleasant meeting at the Johnson Manor at noon, Violet suppressed her difort and averted her eyes. Not far away, Louis was slowly making his rounds, listening to the reports of the mall executives. Manager Hamilton greeted him and greeted Louis respectfully. Louis nodded faintly, his eyes nced inadvertently, and also saw Violet. The woman stood in front of the empty counter, wondering what she was thinking. Louis'' eyes moved slightly and asked, "No one is renting that counter on the first floor?" Hearing this, themercial manager hurriedly said, "Mr. Johnson, this counter has just been vacated and someone has alreadye to see it, it''s that Miss Elliott, she intends to rent it for a makeup counter." Sure enough! Violet came to the mall to rent a counter, is she nning to expand her business? But this location Louis nced at Violet and walked over to stand in front of her. "You''re renting a counter for a makeup counter?" Louis is asking himself a question? Violet responded in a light voice, "Yes." Louis stared at her cool little face and said in a cold voice, "This is not a make-up area, don''t think you can do it up anywhere just because you''re a little famous." There is nothing wrong with what he said, but what is wrong is his attitude of speaking. A sneering, cold and arrogant attitude. Not at all polite. Violet gave him a look, inexplicably angry inside. "Mr. Johnson never heard of it? The wine is not afraid of the alley! I eat with my craft, the location is second to none." She didn''t know why she wanted to get angry. She just knew there was a pent-up anger inside her that she couldn''t let go. Louis looked steadily at her stubborn little face, and the breath around him slowly turned cold. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. The surrounding air seems to have dropped a few points, and those who followed along were silenced. All know that the president is in a bad mood at the moment. Harry cried out in secret and looked at Violet with a light cough, "Miss Elliott, Mr. Johnson is looking out for you too." Miss Elliott ah Miss Elliott, can you lower your posture in front of the president? In this way, they can be released from the cage of low pressure ah. Louis'' eyes swept over with a cold swish. Chapter 276 Chapter 276 Harry just pretended he didn''t see it and kept a stiff smile on his face. Violet looked up at Harry, and saw Harry wink at herself. She didn''t read Harry''s eyes, but felt that she had just spoken a little too impulsively. "Thank you Mr. Johnson for the reminder, I will consider it seriously." The woman softened her voice and slightly lowered her eyes in a somewhat submissive manner. Louis looked at her steadily for two seconds, then left indifferently. The aura around him was still cold, but at least it didn''t drop any further. Harry exhaled, nodded slightly with Violet, and apanied Louis as he continued on his way. Louis'' face was cold, and after a few steps he suddenly asked, "Aren''t there any other empty counters on the first floor?" Manager Hamilton of the Merchandising Department froze and hurriedly replied, "No." "Not even the ones that are due soon?" "Yes, there is. The ST counter expires in a month and is currently going through the renewal process." Manager Hamilton thought for a moment and pointed to the ST counter in the middle of the mall. Because this is a big international brand, it is located in a pretty good location. Louis nced at the position of ST counter, his thin lips lightly opened, "How is their performance this year? Is the growth rate greater than previous years?" Hearing this, the manager in charge of the make-up counter on the first floor hurriedly replied, "Mr. Johnson, st this year''s performance so far is the same as previous years, and there is not much growth." "The best spot on the first floor is the one it''s in, right?" Louis spoke up, "Such a good location, but the performance made is only the same as previous years? This is a waste of resources. I think the st location should be let out for brands that can generate more revenue for the mall to rent." A few words, seemingly only in the routine inspection, but only Harry understand the president''s mind. I think RW Styling Studio has a lot of potential, and Miss Elliott ising to rent the store. I think we should give her the best spot on the first floor. I believe that if her studio is located in our mall, it will definitely generate higher revenue for the mall." The president is a stuffy guy. Although he couldn''t figure out what happened between him and Violet, from his observation, the president still had this ex-wife in mind! He wanted to help people but did not say so, he was anxious for him. "This" Is that right? Manager Hamilton looked to Louis with some hesitation, seeking his final word with his eyes. Louis'' eyes coolly swept towards Harry and burst out, "Harry, you are quite good at blindly guessing the hearts of people." Is he just guessing? It''s clear that some people are just being tough. Harry bent over slightly and stood by respectfully. When Louis strides forward, he pulls aside Manager Hamilton, who is still in a daze. "Manager Hamilton, you''re not a neer anymore, you have to learn to read people''s minds. Can''t you see? Our president is having a problem with Miss Elliott! The best counter must be reserved for Miss Elliott, but you have to politely express Mr. Johnson''s kindness to her and ask her to thank Mr. Johnson, understand?" N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. In order not to be enveloped by the low pressure in the future, is it easy for him, the special assistant? And also have to bnce the love counselor! "Got it got it, I''ll have someone suspend the contract renewal with stter." Manager Hamilton nodded his head in response as if in thought. Harry patted him on the shoulder and let out a long breath. I hope Violet can make up with the president. That end. Violet is still thinking about it. It is a question of whether to rent the empty counter or not. Although it is said that the wine is not afraid of the alley, but the location is not unimportant. On the contrary, it is important to a certain extent. "Yo, Violet, are you mourning here? It''s just a few reprimands from your ex-husband, what are you doing hanging your head so much?" The woman''s sarcastic voice rang in her ears. Violet''s brow furrowed slightly when she saw Ciara slowly walking towards her. She was apanied by Nancy. Chapter 277 Chapter 277 Violet nced at the two and said in a light voice, "Am I being silent? I''m just thinking about you two sisters and feeling a little bad for you." "You!" Ciara hates it with a passion. Because Jasmine and Oscar made a scandal, the whole high society was looking at them as a joke. My sister and brother-inw are also going through a divorce. What happened that day must have been Violet who got the information from somewhere and turned the tables on them. Howe you can''t cure these bitches! "Sister Violet, it''s been a long time." Nancy smiles sweetly and says hello to Violet. Violet gave her a look and nodded lightly. She and Nancy had little to do with each other, but she knew that the girl was only pretending to be innocent on the surface. Because as a child, she witnessed Nancy abusing cats! Nancy is a year younger than Evie, and they attended the same elementary school as children. Nancy has a very sweet mouth and is a good student in the eyes of her teachers.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! However, it is such a simple girl on the surface, but will not blink an eye to abuse the cat, and finally Ruthless at a young age. Violet just wants to stay away from people like that. She looked at the empty counter and was ready to go back and think about it before deciding whether she wanted to rent it. I was about to leave when there was amotion around. Countless people poured over in her direction. "Look, David is here!" "Oh my God, he''s so handsome!" "David, we love you." Countless shouts of joy rang in my ears. So David has arrived? Violet, speechless, was squeezed in the middle of it, forced forward with the flow of people. Nancy and Ciara had the same look of excitement. Both of them took their bodyguards out, who were escorting them at this point, in the direction of David. "Nancy, you just came back to see David, he must be very happy. How about it, is it time for you to talk about marriage?" Ciara and Nancy went to college together and always knew that Nancy liked David. She was called out by Nancy today to apany her to meet David. Nancy''s face is shy, "It''s not that fast, David is now in the ascendant of his career, keep a low profile." "Gee, if you keep a low profile, you might have to be snatched up by someone else. Didn''t you see the news abroad? Some people have no shame, using the identity of the make-up artist to deliberately approach David." Ciara nced sideways at Violet behind her and said deliberately. "Ciara, stop it, I trust David." Nancy''s almond eyes shed slightly and she smiled. "I also believe that David''s vision will not be so bad, but I''m afraid that some people are bad at heart and like to hook up ah." "Okay,e on, stop it." "......" Behind her, Violet heard an earful and knew that Ciara was insinuating it to herself. She looked at Nancy''s back, and then at David, who was apanied by a staff member not far away, striding in, and shook her head speechlessly. This Nancy is making a fool of herself, isn''t she? I hope David can not be haunted by this kind of scheming woman. Not far away, David came striding in. The fans around shouted enthusiastically, and some of them sent flowers and gifts in time. The staff helped David take it, and David nodded politely all around. The courteous appearance of the actor caused even more screams from the fans. "Nancy,e on, where''s the present you prepared?" Ciara nudged Nancy and called out. Nancy''s heart pounded as she looked at David, who was getting closer and closer. She took out her pre-prepared gift and wavedit toward David. "David!" Because she was apanied by a bodyguard, she was conspicuous and David soon saw her. He frowned, his thin lips pursed. Without a nce, her eyes caught sight of Violet standing behind her again. At once, the light was on and a big step forward was taken. Chapter 278 Chapter 278 The man came closer and closer, with a charming smile on his handsome, umon face. "Ciara, David saw you, he''s smiling at you, such a handsome smile." Ciara called out from Nancy''s side. Yes! He''s smiling at himself! He must really like himself! Nancy''s face was shy, her heart pounding, waiting for David to say hello to her with a heart full of joy. Three steps, two steps, one step "Helena, what are you doing here? Did you get squeezed?" Nancy: "......" Why was it Violet who David greeted and not himself! Violet nced around and smiled helplessly, "I came to talk a little business and I was surrounded by your enthusiastic fans." "So, you didn''te all the way here to support me? It''s a little sad." David pretended to be lost. Violetughed lightly and did not speak. "Stay a littleter and we''ll have dinner with Louis?" David thought of something and his eyes twitched. From what Austin said, these two had a falling out? A little curious! The smile on Violet''s face was slightly restrained, "I still have things to do, you guys eat." Looking at the two men talking familiarly, the smile on Nancy''s face froze on her face. She thought David was so happy to see himself. I didn''t realize he was so happy to see Violet there? "Nancy, Violet is shameless and steals your thunder. Come on, don''t be silly, give the gift away." Ciara nudged David and whispered in her ear. Nancy returned to her senses, straightened her face and moved to the side. "David, it''s been a long time!" Hearing Nancy''s voice, David''s eyes fell to her face and he nodded faintly. "It''s been a long time." "Here, this is a gift I picked out especially for you, open it and see if you like it." Nancy daintily handed the gift to David''s eyes. "You have a heart." David looked aside at the staff and had no intention of opening it. The staff hurriedly took the gift from Nancy''s hand and signaled that David could go. David hmmed and didn''t look at Nancy again, but winked with Violet, made a phone contact gesture, and then left in stride. The crowd slowly dispersed as David left. Violet exhaled a foul breath, thinking of the test report sent today, the corners of her mouth curved lips. If David is really his brother, that would be great. "Nancy, did you see that? Some people are just so good at it! Steals your thunder straight away." Ciara spoke in a grim voice. Nancy''s barely maintained smile was a bit of a dud. She pretended to be innocent, "Sister Violet, so you know your David so well?" Violet gave her a look and said two words in a light voice: "It''s okay." She then turned to leave. The forced smile on Nancy''s face slowly converged, and a cold aura shed in her eyes. Violet, so dragged? "This coquette, shameless! Nancy, you must fight, you must marry David!" Ciara hated the voice. Nancy collected her mind and pretended to be gentle, "Okay, don''t be angry, David and I haven''t had a word yet." "Howe there isn''t one? Haven''t you and him known each other since we were kids? A childhood friend, I don''t believe that we can''tpete with Violet, the abandoned woman!" "Don''t talk about her like that, she''s poorly divorced too. You can tell me about her!" "......" Wildcross Town. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. A small three-story house is being used for a wedding ceremony. Flowers and balloons were hung on the main door, and the house was dressed up in a very atmospheric way. In the bedroom on the third floor, a woman in a wedding dress was lying on the big bed. She is no other than Evie, who is sleeping. Chapter 279 Chapter 279 Evie''s eyshes fluttered as she slowly awoke from her drowsiness. The ceiling was unfamiliar to her, and she was stunned for a moment, her thoughts still a bit confused. Where is this? What''s wrong with her? Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Evie sat up and looked at the room full of decorations and the wedding dress she was wearing, and her bewildered eyes turned to dismay. Wedding dress? Why did she put on the wedding dress? Is she going to marry someone? The memory gradually returned, she suddenly startled, and something shed in her eyes. She remembers going back to the Williams Manor with the intention of visiting her grandmother with Miller. Miller told her to sit for a while, and then a servant handed her a ss of water. She was a little thirsty, so she took a couple of sips. And then Evie pursed her lips and squeezed her fingers ufortably tight. There''s something wrong with that ss of water. After she finished drinking, she just felt dizzy and sleepy. Before passing out, she saw her stepmother''s smiling face. What do they want to do to themselves? Do you want to sell her after she''s unconscious? Evie, startled and angry, got out of bed and walked quickly to the door to pull it open. Only the door was locked from the outside. She can''t open it! Evie panicked a little and rapped hard on the door panel. "Open the door, open the door, let me out!" Those two ck-hearted people, where did they sell her to? "The bride, she''s awake." Someone at the door heard her shouting and muttered something. Evie leaned against the door panel to listen for movement. A few momentster, someone came and opened the door. Evie took two steps back in a hurry. The people who came in were two middle-aged women followed by a man in a tuxedo. The man''s face was burned by fire and looked a little grim. He giggled toward Evie, with drool running from the corner of his mouth. Evie was startled and couldn''t help but suck in a backward breath. This man is wearing a tuxedo, don''t tell her that Miller, the ck-hearted couple, is going to marry her off to such a man! "The bride is awake? Let''s help you put on your makeup." The two middle-aged women said with a smile. "Bride, to kiss and sleep sleep!" The man drooled andughed heatedly as he approached Evie. Evie screamed and pushed the two middle-aged women away as she scrambled toward the door. Two house servants stood at the door and immediately stopped her. "Get out of the way, what do you want? Let me out!" Evie shouted and tried to rush out. The two servants hastily held her and pushed her into the bedroom, closing the door behind them. "Little girl, what are you doing? Soon to be the Ward, what a blessing! Hurry up and sit down and let us help you put on your makeup." Two middle-aged women stepped forward and pulled Evie to the dresser and sat down. Evie hurriedly said, "Two olderdies, I didn''t volunteer, you guys let me go." "What is not voluntary? Little girl, your parents have already epted the bride price from the Ward family and are about to have a wedding, you can''t go back on that." "That''s right! Little girl, do you know how rich this the Ward family is? They are the richest in our town, if the young master wasn''t in this condition now, how could you have had your turn to enjoy the blessings?" "Not really! Little girl, we are over the people, women, ah, money is real, the other is false." "Right! When you and the young master get married and add a son or daughter to the Ward family, you can just wait to be the young grandmother of a rich family that everyone envies." The middle-aged women, you and I, persuaded Evie while putting on her makeup without a word. Evie was so angry and anxious that she waved her hands around and wouldn''t let them put her makeup on. "Get out of the way, I didn''t agree to get married, you can''t force me, I want to go back!" Chapter 280 Chapter 280 Those two ck-hearted ghosts, when we leave here, she will definitely break off with them, never to see each other again! "Bride, don''t go, hug." The man who was staying aside suddenly grabbed Evie and nibbled at her face. Evie let out another shriek and pushed the man away with force. The man fell on his butt and sat down on the ground, and cried out with a wow. "Not funny, the bride is bad!" This IQ,parable to a three-year-old child! Evie was scared and frightened, swallowing hard and wanting to get out of here. "Little girl, you don''t want to eat the wine!" "That''s right, little girl, we reasoned with you nicely, don''t be stubborn." Two middle-aged women helped the man up and their faces sank. "I told you, I didn''t marry of my own free will, so hurry up and let me go or I''ll sue you." Evie swallowed hard and walked quickly toward the door. "What are you guys still standing around for? Quickly knock her out to avoid trouble." "Good." A conversation between a middle-aged woman and a servant came from behind her, and before Evie could turn around, there was a sudden pain on her neck. RW Styling Studio. When Violet returned from the mall, she received a call from the Merchandising Manager. "Manager Hamilton." "Miss Elliott, I don''t think you''re happy with the empty counter you just looked at?" Hearing this, Violet snorted, "Manager Hamilton, you know, the location of that counter is really N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. average, it would be nice if there were other counters for rent." "Miss Elliott, I thought back and realized that ST counter''s contract is due to expire in a month, why don''t you wait a little longer and see?" ST counter that position? That''s the best location in the mall! Violet''s eyes shed with surprise, "Manager Hamilton, you mean that when st''s contract is up, the mall won''t renew it with the other party, and I can rent that counter?" "Yes, we just had Mr. Johnson specifically mention this." Manager Hamilton said, "Because st did not have a significant increase in performance this year, Mr. Johnson felt that the location should be reserved for a brand that could help generate revenue for the mall, so we decided to rent the counter to you." Is that what Louis sent? Violet couldn''t tell what it was like inside. How did he know that her studio in the mall could help generate more revenue for the mall than st? To put it bluntly, he is opening the back door for himself in disguise. But she doesn''t want to take Louis'' favor now. She just wanted to keep her distance from him. But the location of that counter, again, is so attractive. She couldn''t help but want to turn a blind eye and pretend she didn''t see Louis opening the back door for her. "Manager Hamilton, can you let me think about it?" Let her settle down a bit first. "No problem, there''s still a month to go, you can think about it as long as you want." Manager Hamilton was full of promise and added a meaningfulment. "But Miss Elliott, that is the best location on the first floor of our mall, not everyone has the opportunity to rent it. mr. Johnson is really taking good care of you." It''s pretty clear what he meant by that, right? Miss Elliott will be moved to tears. Manager Hamilton hung up the phone after he finished. Violet looked at the phone screen and pursed her lips. Isn''t Louis supposed to still be mad at her? Why be so nice to her again? "You''re Isaac, right?" "You are?" "I''m Natalie, an alumna with Evie, and I''ve met you before." The sound of conversationes to your ears. Violet looked back and saw Isaac hade into the store and was climbing into conversation with Natalie. "Hello." Isaac and Natalie nodded slightly, then walked towards Violet. Natalie looked at Isaac''s back with a slight twinkle in her eye. Chapter 281 Chapter 281 "Violet, where''s Erin? I got her something to eat." Isaac smiles and says hello to Violet. "Uncle Isaac." Erin hears Isaac''s voice and runs yfully out of the lounge. Isaac picked her up in a hug. "Uncle Isaac, what did you bring Erin to eat?" "You guess?" "I cansmell the aroma, it''s a burger isn''t it?" "What a little nose." "......" Watching Isaac tease Erin with an intimate face, Violet curled her lips. Isaac is a good family man and will be a good father if he gets married in the future. I wish he and Evie would get somewhere. Thinking of Evie, Violet nced at the clock. An afternoon has passed, why hasn''t Evie returned? Is grandma Williams seriously ill? "Isaac seems to like kids a lot." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Natalie poured Isaac a ss of water andughed. Violet nced at her, "Natalie, you''re still here?" "Miss Helena, I haven''t touched makeup before, so I feel like I have to work a little harder than others so I can follow you around." Natalie chuckled. "It''ste, go back, just take it one step at a time." Violet smiled faintly. "Okay, then I''ll leave you to it, goodbye Miss Helena, goodbye Isaac." Natalie responded good-naturedly and said goodbye to the two. "Is this a new employee? It looks like they especially admire you." Isaac put Erin down and said casually. "Admire me much?" Violet raised an eyebrow, nomittal. Thinking that she was Evie''s alumna, Violet pulled out her phone, "Right, Evie said she was going back to see grandma Williams today, I''ll give her a call to check on the situation." The phone was dialed out, but it was switched off. Violet''s eyebrows were slightly knitted, and she felt vaguely uneasy. How did Evie''s phone get turned off? If she goes somewhere else, she''s not that worried. But what she returned was the Williams Manor. Thinking of the Williams forcing Evie to marry more than a year ago, Violet pursed her lips, found Miller''s phone and dialed it. The phone rang a few times, but it came through. "Hello, who is it?" "It''s Violet, Mr. Williams, is Evie there?" The background sounding out of the current was a little noisy, like a lot of people talking and Violet frowned tightly, then heard Miller said: "So it''s Violet! Evie she got married and won''t be going back anytime soon, that''s all." He said Evie got married! Violet was startled, her breasts heaving as she listened to the beeping in the current. This Miller, a year ago, nned to marry his daughter for a high bride-price. A yearter, does he want to do the same thing again! And this time it''s which rich and powerful, but wed man to marry! "Violet, what did Evie''s father say?" Isaac saw Violet''s tense little face, a look of extreme anger, and hastened to ask. "He said Evie married someone!" Violet controlled her anger and dialed Miller''s number again. This Miller, he dares to marry Evie indiscriminately? Chapter 282 Chapter 282 The phone rang a few times and Miller answered anyway. "Violet, is there anything else?" "Mr. Williams, since Evie got married, as her sister, shouldn''t I also go to have a wedding reception? Please tell me, where did she marry to? I will go over to congratte her right away." Violet asked patiently. Miller said, "Well, Violet, Evie''s inws don''t like to show off, so they didn''t invite any guests. Next time, in a couple of days, I''ll ask Evie''s inws to throw a big party, and then you cane back to congratte her." Miller finished and tried to hang up the phone. Violet said sternly: "Miller, what right do you have to arrange Evie''s marriage? Have you forgotten that a year ago, I used the Johnson family''s bride-price to break off Evie''s rtionship with you? You better tell me quickly where Evie is now. Otherwise, I''ll call the police immediately and sue you for illegal detention." Hearing this, Miller snorted, "Violet, you''ve been Mrs. Johnson for a year, but your temper has grown, huh? You''re going to sue me? When did I break off my rtionship with Evie? She has my blood in her veins, so I have the right to decide her marriage!" "You!" The current beeped again, and Violet''s face tightened with anger. By the time she called Miller''s number again, it was no longer avable. "Violet, did Miller marry Evie off again?" Isaac listened to an ear and his face sank. Violet nodded, her heart full of anxiety. What to do? Even if she calls the police, the police will not care about such family ethics. Who does she need to call for help to get Evie''s whereabouts quickly? Louis'' figure shed in her mind, Violet pursed her lips and curled her fingers. She needs to distance herself from Louis. She can''t go back to him. Violet thought about it and called Josie in a heartbeat. Josie is now Austin''s girlfriend and can get Josie to ask Austin for help. The call went out, but Josie didn''t answer the phone. Her store is about to open and she is probably busy. Violet was so anxious that she thought about it and dialed Austin''s number directly. Now she couldn''t care less, she couldn''t afford to lose time. On the other end of the phone, Austin was having drinks with Louis and David at the Imperial Club. When he saw that the caller ID was Violet, he raised an eyebrow, "Hmm? Why would Violet call me?" Hearing these words, Louis, who was drinking, moved with a start and subconsciously nced at him. Austin hooked his lips and picked up the phone. "Helena?" "Mr. Evison, can you do me a favor?" Violet said eagerly. "Huh? Looking for my help, huh? What is it?" Austin said it loudly on purpose and gave Louis a look. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Louis yed with the ss in his hand and lowered his eyes slightly without saying anything. A handsome face is hidden in the soft warm yellow light so that people can not really see. "Mr. Johnson, I''m in a hurry! Can you help me find out about a man, My Uncle Miller, where he is now?" Violet said. "You want me to find out where Miller is now for you? What the hell is going on?" The smile on Austin''s face was slightly restrained as he inquired. "He tricked my cousin Evie into marrying someone else." Violet said. "There''s something else like that?" Austin eyebrows a cold, is about to say he immediately help her find someone, inadvertently touched Louis cast a gaze, his eyes sh, to the mouth of the words turned a corner. "Helena, take it easy, it just so happens that Louis and I are having a drink together. He has a wide range of contacts, I''ll tell him, he will definitely help you find it. When he finds it, I''ll have him tell you right away." These two are still at odds! Why not let him be a peacemaker! "Then I will trouble you." Violet couldn''t care less at this point, and spoke stiffly. "Okay, then I''ll hang up now." Austin hung up the phone and looked at Louis, "Louis, you heard everything, hurry up and help your ex-wife find someone." Chapter 283 Chapter 283 Hearing Austin''s words, Louis took a sip of his wine and nced at him coolly with his eyes. "Since when did you be my spokesperson? Am I that free?" Helping his ex-wife find someone? The people are looking for his brother''s help, they do not see themselves, he does not want to be called a licking dog! "I mean Louis, what''s going on between you and her?" Austin had an inquisitive look on his face. "Yeah Louis,e on, what''s the problem with you and Helena? Tell us so we can help you with your ideas." David also came over and said something. Louis sipped his wine and said in a cold voice: "Where did you guys get all that nonsense? Don''t you want to help find someone? Why don''t you hurry up?" This person ah, is the mouth is not the main. Austin and David looked at each other with a look of understanding in their eyes. Austin temporarily pressed down the idea of poking fun at him and began to have his men investigate Miller''s whereabouts. On the other end of the line, Violet waited anxiously for Austin''s call. Isaac is also on the phone, using his contacts to find out where Evie is. That''s when Josie called. "Violet, did you call me on the phone? I was busy just now and didn''t hear it." "Josie, something''s happened to Evie." Violet told the story. Josie was just as pissed as she was, "This Miller, he''s really gone too far! I''m calling Austin right now and asking him if he''s found anyone yet." "Josie, take it easy ande back first. If there is news from Mr. Evisonter, I have to go to Evie right away, youe back and watch Erin for me ." Violet suppressed the anxiety in her heart and spoke calmly. "That''s fine, I''m already on my way back." "You take it easy, drive slowly and be safe." "Good." Hanging up the phone, Violet looked over at Isaac who had just finished his call and had a stony face. Apparently, with his connections, he didn''t find out where Evie was either. The two men looked at each other and both waited for Austin''s call. Ten minutester, Austin''s call finally came in. Violet hurriedly picked up, "Mr. Evison, did you find out?" "Helena, Louis found out for you that Miller is now visiting the richest man in Wildcross Town, the Ward Manor. I heard that that silly son of River''s is getting married, and I guess your cousin Evie should be there at this time." Austin''s voice came over the current. Violet was delighted and was about to say thank you when another low voice rang out over the current. "Did I check it out? If you talk nonsense again, you can go away." This is Louis'' voice, denying Austin''s words. Violet was a little embarrassed, but couldn''t think too much about it, so she said thank you. "Mr. Evison, thank you for your help, I''ll keep your kindness in my heart, I''ll go find someone first." Whoever helped her with the lead, she knew that they were on the same page. He owes Louis another one. "OK, you can remember that who''s good haha. By the way, do you need us to send someone with you C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. to find someone?" Austin on the other end of the phone ignored Louis'' cold eyes and asked with a straight face. "No, I can handle it myself." Violet politely declined. "Tell you what, I''ll send two bodyguards over with you to hold up the scene. If something happens, you have to remember to call." "This Mr. Evison, really thank you so much." Violet had a grateful face. "It''s okay, who made you Josie''s best sister." Austin nced at Louis and was about to tease him, but the words turned around. Hanging up the phone, Austin gave two instructions to his men and then looked at Louis. "You continue to pretend to be indifferent! Fine, if you don''t tell me, I''ll find out what''s going on with you and Violet. I''ll ask Josie." Chapter 284 Chapter 284 Josie is Violet''s best sister, and she must know exactly what''s going on between these two. Louis sipped his wine, looked at him coldly, and did not speak. At that moment, a video call came in on his cell phone. He hooked his lips and pressed the connect button. "Dominic." A handsome looking young man appears in the shot. This is his uncle''s son, named Dominic Riley. As a child, he lived with his own mother in his maternal grandparents'' home and had a strong bond with his uncle''s family. Although he waster brought back to the Johnson family by his father, he was still quite close to his uncle''s family. The uncle has a daughter named Summer in addition to Dominic, a son. He kept in close contact with the siblings. "Brother, is it convenient to talk?" Dominic''s face held a hint of excitement. "Conveniently, I''m with Austin and David." Louis spoke up. "Hi Dominic, long time no see." "Dominic, how are you?" Austin, who had just finished messaging with Josie, and David both came up to the camera to say hello to Dominic. "Austin, David." Dominic smiled and waved at them, then coughed lightly, "Brother, let me tell you the good news, the research project we''ve been working on for a year has finally seeded." Hearing this, Louis raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face slowly stretched out. "It''s good news." Infinity Tech Company, the technologypany he founded during his college years. Thepany was initially set up with the intention of having fun, and was funded for the Dominic C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. siblings to practice. Little did we know that in just a few years, this small technologypany would grow and be the meat and potatoes of the globalpetition for cooperation in thest two years. In order not to cause some unnecessary trouble, although thepany was founded with his capital, thepany is owned by Dominic. He just kept being the boss behind the scenes. So, except for a few people close to him, no one knows that he is not only the head of The Johnson Group, but also has another identity: the owner behind Infinity Tech Company. "Louis, Dominic, congrattions." David came up to the camera, "Such important news, howe you are the only one to report the good news? Why didn''t youe to report to her boss?" Summer is the chief secretary of wpany, when Louis is away, all the affairs are handed over to her. "Mr. Bergen, you are more anxious than my brother. What''s that saying? The emperor is not in a hurry." A clean-looking girl appears in the video. She wore a dark hair, full and smooth forehead highlighting her intelligence. "Summer, I haven''t seen you for half a year, you haven''t changed much, your mouth is still so poisonous." David simply took the phone from Louis'' hand and smiled. Summer raised an eyebrow, "Good boy, call out sister, I''ll be lenient with my mouth." "Trying to take advantage of me again! You''re only three months older than me, okay?" "Big day is also big." "......" Listening to the two bickering, Louis took a sip of his wine and hooked the corners of his mouth. Thepany''s new research is the medical scientific research on human cancer. A year ago, he was in a car ident, and after treatment, he was confined to a wheelchair and almost decrepit. The good thing is that Summer and Dominic are always by his side. For a year, he refused visits from everyone, doing rehab and working on research with Dominic until his body gradually recovered. But their research project was still one step short of sess. Rather unexpectedly, Dominic brought good news after he returned home to take over the helm of The Johnson Group. Chapter 285 Chapter 285 "So Louis was acting high and mighty towards his ex-wife because his self-esteem was bruised?" Austin sat next to Louis and shook his phone with a teasing look on his face. He had already asked Josie, and Josie told him that Violet had called Louis a licking dog. This Violet, is also a bully, dare to squeeze Louis like this. Is it bad to have such a big brother level figure kneeling to her? Louis nced at him, his eyes slightly cool, "You''re really idle." "I''m not just taking some time out of my busy schedule to eat a little melon." Austin smiled, picked up his ss and clinked it with Louis. He nced at David who was still talking to Summer, "Then again, you''re nning to hide this identity of w''s behind the scenes owner from everyone for the rest of your life?" Louis took a sip of wine, and a sharp light shed in his dark eyes. "Don''t you guys just know?" "It is also true that the higher the status of a person, the more danger there is." Austin collected his smile, "Louis, the car ident you had a year ago, was it man-made or an ident?" Louis yed with his ss, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile, "What do you think?" His car ident a year ago was certainly not an ident. He didn''t make a sound because he still wanted to ask for proof of one thing. His mother''s car ident more than twenty years ago, was not also man-made! "If you ask me that, then it must be man-made. Who is it? Or is it that one?" Austin asked. Louis didn''t say anything, just a ghostly glint in his eyes. "Come on, Mr. Bergen, don''t hog the phone and let me check in with my brother." Summer''s voice came from over there. David handed the phone to Louis, "Okay, let''s not get in the way of your work conversation." Louis took the phone and hooked his lips towards Summer, "There is no need to report to me about anything important, you two siblings can discuss it." "Brother, now that this research project ispleted, Dominic and I both think we should expand our new business in the country." Summer speaks dryly. Louis raised an eyebrow, "You mean you want to pick a partner in the country and expand your business territory?" "Yes." "Okay, then you guys go back to your country." "......" Wildcross Town. Evie woke up from hera again. She touched the back of her head and saw that she was still lying in the wedding room, her heart full of anger and apprehension. She struggled to get up and went over to push the door, but needless to say, it was still locked. What to do? Evie bit her lip and leaned against the door panel, trying to suppress the panic inside her as she looked around. There is a window in this room. So could she have escaped from there? Evie rushed to the window and opened it. This room is on the third floor and downstairs is argewn, which should be the back garden of this small townhouse. Evie looked around and found a downspout off to the side. She could slide down the downspout. Evie was delighted and climbed up to the window in a hurry. At that moment, there was a movement at the door, someone opened the door and the two middle- aged women from before came in. "It''s time for the bride to wake up." "Huh, where is everyone?" Evie, startled, hugged the downpipe and carefully slid down. A middle-aged woman''s shout came from overhead. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! "Come on, someone, the bride is running away." "What are you guys still standing there for, why don''t you go after it." Chapter 286 Chapter 286 "......" Evie''s heart beat faster, and as soon as shended, she hastily lifted the hem of her skirt and ran. "Stop, don''t run." There were shouts from behind, and it was the Ward family''s house servantsing after them. Evie was distraught and ran desperately forward. Coldly bumping into one person, she turned on her feet and almost fell down. "Watch out." The visitor rushed to hold her. By this time, the Ward family''s house servants hade after them and surrounded Evie. Evie grabbed a hold of the visitor''s coat, "Help me, please help me." Brooklyn looked at Evie in her wedding dress and frowned slightly, "Save you? Aren''t you the bride?" "No, I didn''t volunteer! Sir, will you be kind and take me away?" Evie grabbed the corner of Brooklyn''s coat like a lifeline. Brooklyn didn''t expect to apany her mother over for a wedding reception and run into this kind of thing, so she immediately looked at a few household servants. "Is she telling the truth?" Several house servants look at me, I look at you, a moment speechless. They only know to watch people, the other things they do not care ah. At that moment, the butler arrived in a hurry at the news. When he saw Brooklyn was there, he said respectfully, "Mr. Brooklyn, I''m not disturbing you, right? Please go and sit in the front room." Brooklyn said, "Jaiden, the bride said she didn''t marry by choice, I''m afraid this is not right for you?" "Mr. Brooklyn, I''m just a housekeeper, please don''t give me a hard time yet. Of course, you can ask Mr. Williams in the front room about the specific things, he is the father of the bride, and he talks with our patriarch about the marriage." The butler finished and gave a wink to the household servants. The household servants would understand, and without any further ado went forward and dragged Evie over with force. "Let go of me, that''s not my father, I''ve severed ties with him! He has no right to be in charge of my marital affairs." Evie struggled desperately and screamed. "Why don''t you all take the bride upstairs and serve her well!" The butler chided sternly. The household servants said yes, covered Evie''s mouth, and dragged her forward. Brooklyn''s brow knitted tighter. The wife of the patriarch of the Ward family and his mother were distant cousins, and the two were usually in contact with each other. That''s why his mother asked him to apany her to the wedding reception after she received the invitation. But now it seems that today''s wedding banquet is not an ordinary wedding banquet. the Williams is selling his daughter? With that in mind, Brooklyn headed toward the front room. Meanwhile, Violet and Isaac finally arrived in a hurry. They were outside the small townhouse at the moment and were calling Evie''s name and preparing to N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. rush inside. Behind them, they were followed by two brawny men, bodyguards sent by Austin. Seeing this, the Ward family''s house servants stopped a few people while they went to invite their hosts to be there. It didn''t take long for the Millers and a few of the Wards to show up. "Violet, what brings you here?" Miller drank a lot of wine and looked at Violet with a disgruntled face. Violet suppressed her inner depression and said coldly, "I''vee to take Evie home, please hand her over." When she heard this, Alisha, who was standing beside Miller, said, "Yo, Violet, what are you doing? Evie got married, you should congratte her." Violet saw Alisha speak up and gave a cold smile, "Evie''s getting married? Why didn''t I know that?" "Gee, you''re just her cousin, it''s normal not to know." "Really? You mean I have no right to ask about Evie''s marriage? Then who are you? How dare you marry Evie to someone else?" Violet disliked it nonchntly. "You!" Alisha blushed and looked at Miller. Miller''s face didn''t look good either and reprimanded, "Violet, how do you speak to your elders? The older you get, the more uneducated you be. I guess growing up with your Auntie Paige doesn''t teach you any better." Chapter 287 Chapter 287 When she heard Miller''s words, Violet almostughed. "Miller, although my Auntie Paige is not a senior intellectual, but at least she taught me to be honest and open, not to be a sinister, cunning and profit-oriented person. If my Auntie Paige was still around, she would not have sold her daughter for glory like you did." Miller was pointed at Violet''s nose and scolded for selling her daughter for glory, suddenly angry: "Violet, you put your mouth clean! Evie is my daughter, the Williams family''s business, it is not your turn to take charge of this little girl." "Do I need to remind you, Miller, about the Williams family? You and Auntie Paige are long divorced, and it was me, Auntie Paige, who worked so hard to bring Evie up all these years, have you ever done your duty as a father?" Violet snapped back, "If you''ve forgotten, I''ll remind you again! When you got rich, you had to divorce Auntie Paige. It was you who had sex behind her back, and as a rule, the joint property should be divided equally. But you secretly transferred the property and let Auntie Paige out of the house!" "Auntie Paige is a tough cookie and didn''t ask you for a penny. She says you can be poor, but you can''t lose your backbone! Let''s say she was blind and misjudged! But at least you''re not worthless and left her with a daughter as good as Evie. For Evie''s sake, she won''t bother with you!" "Auntie Paige supported Evie with her hands until she died, and did you ever visit Evie? And now that N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Evie can support herself, you remember that you have such a daughter?" "A year ago, you said that thepany''s turnover is not good, for money, you forced Evie to marry someone. I married Evie for her, and let you take the Johnson family $50 million bride-price. what, a yearter, you are short of money again? You want to exchange Evie for money again? The $50 million you got in exchange for me at the beginning has been lost so quickly?" "Miller, are you not a businessman, or is your remarried wife not a good husband? I think the Williams Group is not far from bankruptcy!" The words, extremely sarcastic, made Miller''s face bashfully hot. Thinking of the past, he stared at Violet for a moment, unable to speak. More and more people were watching and pointing at the Millers. "This man is really too shameless, a look at the profit-oriented people." "How good can a person who has money and abandons his wife and daughter be?" "Isn''t it true, Mr. Ward, how can you be rted to such a shameless person?" "That''s right, in case they go bankrupt one day, they might think of ways to get their property away from the Ward family." "......" The patriarch of the Ward family was held up by Mrs. Ward, who likewise looked at Miller with a face full of displeasure. Howe you can''t even handle the smallest things? Causing him to be seen as a joke by his folks today. Although his son is a bit defective, he is at least a wealthy businessman, what kind of daughter-inw can''t he find? He would not have agreed to let his son marry the Williams family''s daughter if Miller and his wife had not bragged to him that they could hook him up with the Johnson family. "Mr. Williams, what''s going on? Is your daughter getting married or not?" "Of course we''re going to marry." Miller hurriedly smiled along. "Then hurry up and take care of it." River pulled a face and asked Mrs. Ward to wait here while she was helped into the house by the servant. Miller was furious and gave Alisha a look. Alisha''s face was also hard to read. She barely managed to keep a smile on her face, "Violet, it''s been a year, but your mouth is getting better and better. But you''ve gone too far. Miller and I have promised you two good families." "The Johnson family, like the Johnson family, now the Johnson family in charge of Louis''s health has recovered, if you have the ability to catch him, it can be everyone''s envy Mrs. Johnson. but you can not catch the man''s heart, so he and you divorced, who can me? " "The Ward family is the richest in Wildcross Town, and Evie will be ady of high society with endless wealth and prosperity if she marries. If she has a son and a half, it will be even more worry-free. Do you think Miller and I have been thinking of you?" A speech that pinches the head, saying only the good and not the bad. Violet sneered, "Mrs. Williams, you don''t take the group for fools. You have a daughter too, why don''t you think of leaving such a good marriage to your daughter?" Chapter 288 Chapter 288 "I" Alisha choked, feeling the surrounding people pointing at her, her face changed for a while. How could she possibly marry her daughter to a man with a defect? Her daughter is going to marry David! Violet didn''t bother to talk to her and looked at Miller, "Miller, I repeat, Evie and you are no longer rted, please put away the thought of marrying Evie off and hand her over." Miller''s face was hard to see. "Violet, why don''t you try fooling around again? No matter what, Evie is my daughter, and I have the right to decide her marriage. If you dare to fool around again, I''ll have someone kick you out!" When he finished, he looked at the Ward family''s house servants. The surrounding house servants all took a step forward, as if to drive people away. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! The two bodyguards behind Violet stepped forward and blocked Violet, their knuckles creaking. The two men are tall and sturdy, and at a nce are professionally trained bodyguards. Standing there, who dares to make a move? The Ward family is a powerful family, so they are not bullies, and they will not force others to detain them illegally, right? " A paragraph that made Mrs. Ward frown. Her son''s marriage has always been a matter of concern to her. All these years my son never got married because they couldn''t get high enough or low enough. This time, when Alisha showed her Evie''s photo, she took a liking to it right away. The girl looks clean, look should be home to live the main. But I didn''t want ...... "Sister, as the saying goes, a melon twisted by force is not sweet, since the person is not voluntarily married into the door, and has a boyfriend, you''d better stop thinking about it and quickly send the person back." A middle-aged woman beside Mrs. Ward took a deep look at Violet and spoke. Beside her, there stood Brooklyn. Mrs. Ward wrinkled her brow and did not speak for a moment. "Auntie Ward, my mom is right, a melon twisted by force is not sweet. If you force someone to stay with a girl, maybe a good thing will be a bad thing in the future. What''s more, this gentleman is right, it''s also against thew to force someone to stay without their consent." Brooklyn nced at Isaac and Violet and spoke up at the right time. Mrs. Ward thought about it and sighed. "And you guys are right, well, today''s wedding doesn''t count, butler, go bring Miss Williams down." the Wards finally relented and released the man. Violet and Isaac looked at each other and their hearts fell a little. When she caught Brooklyn''s eye, she suppressed the surprise in her eyes and gave him a slight nod. I never thought I would meet Brooklyn here. I am still grateful to him and his mother for their timely help. Chapter 289 Chapter 289 Evie was brought down. She was so excited to see Violet and Isaac that she cried. "Sis, Isaac." "Evie, is everything okay." Violet pulled her back and asked with concern. "I''m fine." Evie shook her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. It''s good that it''s okay. Violet sighed in relief, pulled Evie behind her and looked over at Miller. "Miller, as of today, Evie is done with you! Tomorrow Evie will publish in the newspaper and break off the father-daughter rtionship with you, and we will never see each other again, so don''t try to hit Evie again." She should have asked Evie to put it in the paper a year ago and cut off her father-daughter rtionship with Miller. Let''s see what excuse he has to interfere with Evie''s marriage! After Violet finished, she took Evie and prepared to leave. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Behind him, Miller saw a good thing was stirred up by Violet, angry face blue. He stepped forward and reached for Evie. "Violet, what gives you the right? Evie, you stay here!" Evie screamed in terror. Isaac pulled her into his arms with a quick nce and red angrily at Miller. Violet''s pretty face on the side was tense, she nced at the two bodyguards and said, "Two big brothers, you''re here too, are you idle? Why don''t you move your muscles and help me remove his arm!" A word that made the two bodyguards respond in unison and grabbed Miller without any half-hearted effort. Only a scream was heard, and Miller was thrown to the ground by his bodyguard, his face losing all its blood. His arms hung weakly at his sides, and he was about to pass out from the pain. Alisha froze at the scene and reacted by screaming out. "Miller! Oh my God, someone help! Violet is killing people! Help my Miller!" The surrounding people are watching the scene, pointing at a few people, but no one came forward to help. Violet looked at the two men in a condescending manner and said coldly, "Miller, this is just a small lesson, if you dare to hit Evie again, don''t me me for not thinking of old times. Two big brothers, please help him load up again." The two bodyguards responded and went up to help Miller put the removed arm back on. Miller let out another scream. After confirming that the arm was fitted, he got up from the ground and looked at Violet with a frightened face, like he was looking at something terrible. Violet ignored him and took Evie and Isaac in stride in the direction of her car. Brooklyn in the crowd watched Violet''s back with a sh of appreciation in her eyes. After seeing so many delicate and pretentious women, it was the first time he saw such a valiant woman. Miss Elliott, wait a minute." Like what? Brooklyn froze and saw that her mother had already gone forward and hurriedly followed her. A few people in front of Violet had arrived at the car. Hearing the call, she turned her head. Seeing that it was Brooklyn and his mother, she gave them a small nod. "Mr. Brooklyn, Mrs. Scott, thank you for your help just now." Brooklyn smiled, "Helena, you''re wee, my mom and I didn''t do anything. But it''s quite a coincidence that we met here." Violet curled her lips and did not speak. Mrs. Scott, whose name is Blossom Phillips, looks at the two of them and says, "Brooklyn, have you two known each other for a long time?" "Well, Helena helped me." Brooklynughed. Violet looked at Blossom and changed the subject, "Mrs. Scott, you called me, is there something you want to do?" Blossom looked her up and down and asked, "Miss Elliott, Paige Elliott is YOUR mother''s sister, right?" Chapter 290 Chapter 290 "Yes, she''s my mother''s sister." "What about Amalia Elliott? Who is she to you?" "She''s my mother." A sh of excitement in Blossom''s eyes, "Surely you are Amalia''s daughter! You have the same bold and courageous character as your mother." Violet looked at her and twitched her lips, "Mrs. Scott, you know my mother?" "Yes! Your mother and I had the same make-up teacher when we were young, and we were always very close, and we used to joke that if we had children in the future, we would be inws. But I didn''t expect that things are unpredictable!" Blossom sighed, thinking of the past, a trance shed in his eyes. Violet froze and subconsciously nced at Brooklyn. Brooklyn was also looking at her, with surprise in each other''s eyes. Neither of them expected each other''s mothers to be old friends. "Mrs. Scott, so you know who my father is?" Violet''s heart moved slightly and asked. Since this Mrs. Scott and her mother are old friends, does she know who her father is? Hearing this, Blossom pondered for a moment, "I don''t know anything about your father. I only know that back then your mother was Edison Bergen''s royal make-up artist, and the two had a very unusual rtionship." "Onlyter, your mother suddenly quit her job, quit the makeup business, and never contacted me and the people around her again. And I was also going through some emotional problems and had no time to care about your mother. When I settled down and turned back to try to contact your mother emotionally, I heard that she had passed away." Ament that made Violet''s fingers curl. Edison is David''s father. So, did the mother secretly have a rtionship with Edison when she was young? Is the relic her mother left her the engagement token Edison gave her mother? Everything will be known when the results of the gicparison between her and Davide out! "Miss Elliott, it''s a littlete today, why don''t we sit down and talk about it in more detail some other time?" Blossom said kindly when she saw that Violet was thinking about something without saying anything. "Yes, Helena, I''ll contact you some day when you''re free." Brooklyn chimed in. Violet returned to her senses and nodded, "Okay, we''ll go first then." "Be careful on the road." "Bye." Watching the car drive away, Blossom said, "What a nice girl, if Amalia is still around, maybe this child can still be my daughter-inw." But isn''t it? It''s a pity that people are now being watchedintently by Louis. "Mom, do you think she''s going to be Edison''s daughter?" "I think she looks like Edison, maybe." "......" the Ward Manor. Mrs. Ward is seeing off the guests. Fortunately, she did not throw a big banquet, but only invited a few elders in the family to support the scene. Otherwise, today can be disgraced to the grandmother''s house. "Mrs. Ward, this is our fault, you and Mr. Ward must not take it to heart. When Miller and I go back, we will work on Evie''s mind again. You are such a good family, how can she not be happy to marry in?" Alisha greeted Mrs. Ward repeatedly. Mrs. Ward looked over at her with a look of disgust. "Mrs. Williams, don''t youe back to haunt our old the Ward family. You''re not Evie''s real mother, so you''re not afraid of being poked and prodded for her marriage?" "No, that the Johnson family." "Don''t talk to me about pulling strings with the Johnson family or anything like that, I don''t want to be in the business." Mrs. Ward interrupted her, "Return the $10 million bride-price we gave you and don''t contact us again. Violet is right, you have no luck with the Williams family, so don''t let us have bad luck with the Ward family." Mrs. Ward''s words made Alisha''s face alternate between blue and white as she listened. Miller, who had also been taunted by River, looked even worse. He touched his arms, which still hurt, and thought of the humiliation he had received today. He red at Alisha with anger and turned to stride away. Seeing this, Alisha rushed to follow. "Miller, you wait for me." With a cold face, Miller got in the car and mmed the door with a ping. Alisha knew he was in a bad mood and apanied him carefully to the car. "Miller, does your arm still hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital first?" Miller looked over at her and growled, "Look what you''ve done. I''ve never been so humiliated in half my life as I have been today." Alisha was aggrieved, "Miller, how can you me me? How could I have known Violet would bring someone here to crash the party? If it wasn''t for her, wouldn''t this have been done today?" "You''re still sophomoric? It''s all your bad idea! Aren''t you usually a good talker? Why didn''t you coax Evie into getting married before letting her get married? It''s all your fault!" Miller''s heart was full of anger and he just wanted to let it out. "Miller, how can you say something like that? I''m not just thinking of the greater good? That''s your daughter, don''t you know what kind of temper she has? Can you coax her well?" Alisha also had anger in her heart and disliked it nonchntly. "If you don''t have what it takes, just say so! I think Violet is right, it''s yourck of prosperity that''s keeping us the Williams family in ce!" "What did you say, Miller, do you have a conscience? Who has been running the family business for you all these years?" "......" As the car sped down the road, the two men argued violently, neither letting the other. In the other car, Isaac drove and looked in the rearview mirror at Violet and Evie in the back seat. "Violet, your real father, could it be Edison?" For so many years, they have avoided talking about it for fear that Violet would think too much about it. But just now Violet herself mentioned this matter, I think she also want to find the real father in her heart. "I don''t know, but yesterday I pulled David''s hair and was doing a gicparison." Violet didn''t hold back and told us about the ring. Isaac was surprised, and after a silent moment said, "Violet, if Edison was your father, would you go and identify with him?" Violet''s eyes fell on the night scene outside the window, "I don''t know." To identify with your father? It is impossible to say that you are not looking forward to it. But does her real father want to be identified with herself? "Sister, I will always be by your side." Evie, on the other hand, patted Violet''s hand and soothed. Violet turned her eyes back to her, wrapped her arms around her and smiled, "Well, okay, you''re fine." "Sis, I''m scared to death." Evie bristled and leaned reliantly on Violet''s shoulder. "No fear, I promised Auntie Paige I''d take care of you and wouldn''t let anything happen to you." Violet gently stroked her hair and spoke softly. "Well, sister, you said he should not dare to force me to marry again, right?" Evie doesn''t even want to refer to Miller as her father anymore. It was too chilling for her. Violet blinked and her eyes fell on Isaac in the cab. She remembered what Isaac said at the Ward Manor that Evie was his girlfriend! "Evie, I will marry you." Isaac suddenly burst out. Violetughed. With a sharp lightness on her shoulder, she saw Evie''s eyes widen and look at Isaac. "Isaac, what did you just say?" Is she hearing things? Isaac said he wanted to marry her? "Evie, I said, I''ll marry you." Isaac looked to the sisters in the rearview mirror and said seriously. Although Evie is not the one he wants to marry the most in his heart, she is very good. It''s time for him to start a family! "Isaac, are you serious?" Evie''s face was scarlet and her eyes were glowing with excitement. Isaacughed lightly, "Am I usually a joker?" "That''s not true, but it''s so sudden! Sister, pinch me and see if I''m dreaming?" Violet lost her smile and pinched Evie''s face, "Does it hurt?" "It doesn''t hurt too much, you squeeze a little more heavily." "That''s what you said, I can pinch it?" "Hiss, sis, you''re hitting hard." "Evie, you''re a hard man to serve." "......" The three of them chatted all the way back to RW Styling Studio. Josie is looking forward to it. "You''re finally back! Evie, is everything okay?" "Josie, I made you worry, I''m fine." Evieughs and shakes her head. Josie scolded, "Those two ck-hearted things, let''s never hang out with them again. evie, hurry up and get married before someone misses you." At that, Evie looked at Isaac, her pretty face slightly red. Violetughed lightly and pushed her toward Isaac, "Evie is getting ready to get married." Josie blinked, "Hmm? You guys are." "Two sisters, I''m so tired, I have to hurry back to rest." Evie blushed and ran away after that. "Hey Evie, what are you running for." Josie saw the point and raised an eyebrow at Isaac, "Isaac, don''t you want to go sit at Evie''s house?" Evie''s house is also rented in this neighborhood, a building away from Josie''s house. "Some other time, I''ll go back to rest too." Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Isaac was a little ufortable, said hello and left. "Tch, this Isaac, still so innocent! Was I scared off?" Josie blinked and spoke up. Violet smiled lightly, "Well, let''s go back too. By the way, you can thank Mr. Evison for me." "Okay, Violet, tell me quick, how did you and Isaac get Evie out?" "That''s a long story." "......" the Williams Manor. Nancy sat on the couch and swiped the news, thinking of the scene she saw David in today, with an unhappy face. At that moment, there was movement from the door. Miller and Alisha both walked in with a drawn face. "Dad, Mom, aren''t you going to the wedding reception? What''s going on here?" Nancy saw that both men looked out of ce and inquired. "Ask your mother, she''s the one who did all the work!" Miller grimaced, changed his shoes and headed upstairs. Alisha said angrily, "You still me me? Who am I doing this for?" "For who? Isn''t it for yourself? I don''t know who it is, but all day long, they just sharpen their heads and try to get into the upper ss." Miller replied back, then went into the study, mming the door behind him with a ping. Alisha''s chest rose and fell in anger. Nancy hurriedly got up and helped her to sit down on the sofa. "Mom, what''s going on? Why did you and Dad have a fight?" "It''s not because of that bitch Violet!" Alisha said, "Things were going smoothly today, but that little bitch Violet got the news from somewhere and brought two bodyguards over to yell and scream, and took your dad''s arm off. In the end, the matter was also yellow, and your father put the me on me." Hearing these words, Nancy''s eyes shed with coldness. It''s Violet again! This nasty woman. "Looks like someone tipped off Violet? Who tipped her off?" Nancy asked casually. Alisha thought for a moment, a ghostly glint in her eyes. When Violet left, Blossom and her illegitimate son followed her. Could they have leaked the information to Violet? Blossom had a good rtionship with Amalia and Paige when she was young, and was at odds with her. Could this woman, by any chance, know who Violet''s real father is? She was so secretive about what she did back then, Blossom shouldn''t have guessed it! Chapter 291 Chapter 291 Mrs. Ward''s words made Alisha''s face alternate between blue and white as she listened. Miller, who had also been taunted by River, looked even worse. He touched his arms, which still hurt, and thought of the humiliation he had received today. He red at Alisha with anger and turned to stride away. Seeing this, Alisha rushed to follow. "Miller, you wait for me." With a cold face, Miller got in the car and mmed the door with a ping. Alisha knew he was in a bad mood and apanied him carefully to the car. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. "Miller, does your arm still hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital first?" Miller looked over at her and growled, "Look what you''ve done. I''ve never been so humiliated in half my life as I have been today." Alisha was aggrieved, "Miller, how can you me me? How could I have known Violet would bring someone here to crash the party? If it wasn''t for her, wouldn''t this have been done today?" "You''re still sophomoric? It''s all your bad idea! Aren''t you usually a good talker? Why didn''t you coax Evie into getting married before letting her get married? It''s all your fault!" Miller''s heart was full of anger and he just wanted to let it out. "Miller, how can you say something like that? I''m not just thinking of the greater good? That''s your daughter, don''t you know what kind of temper she has? Can you coax her well?" Alisha also had anger in her heart and disliked it nonchntly. "If you don''t have what it takes, just say so! I think Violet is right, it''s yourck of prosperity that''s keeping us the Williams family in ce!" "What did you say, Miller, do you have a conscience? Who has been running the family business for you all these years?" "......" As the car sped down the road, the two men argued violently, neither letting the other. In the other car, Isaac drove and looked in the rearview mirror at Violet and Evie in the back seat. "Violet, your real father, could it be Edison?" For so many years, they have avoided talking about it for fear that Violet would think too much about it. But just now Violet herself mentioned this matter, I think she also want to find the real father in her heart. "I don''t know, but yesterday I pulled David''s hair and was doing a gicparison." Violet didn''t hold back and told us about the ring. Isaac was surprised, and after a silent moment said, "Violet, if Edison was your father, would you go and identify with him?" Violet''s eyes fell on the night scene outside the window, "I don''t know." To identify with your father? It is impossible to say that you are not looking forward to it. But does her real father want to be identified with herself? "Sister, I will always be by your side." Evie, on the other hand, patted Violet''s hand and soothed. Violet turned her eyes back to her, wrapped her arms around her and smiled, "Well, okay, you''re fine." "Sis, I''m scared to death." Evie bristled and leaned reliantly on Violet''s shoulder.

Thought it must be to ask for information. Alisha squeezed out a smile and picked up the phone. "Mrs. Johnson." "Mrs. Williams, it''s done, isn''t it, Evie''s married, so when''s Violet''s turn?" Hearing this, Alisha sighed, "Mrs. Johnson, things didn''t work out." "What? Are you kidding me? Weren''t you the one who said you could fix Evie''s wedding today?" Rosalie questioned. "Mrs. Johnson, originally, we did manage to marry Evie out sessfully today, but I didn''t expect that someone tipped us off and Violet brought two bodyguards over and not only humiliated Miller and me, but also injured Miller and took the person away, which was really too infuriating." Alisha hastened to exin. Rosalie sneered, "Violet again! Mrs. Williams, this Violet is the worst, you must get her! As long as you get her, I will still promote you the Williams family as we agreed." Alisha''s eyes rolled when she heard this. "Mrs. Johnson, this little bitch Violet is really obnoxious, she made my Miller mad enough today, even if it''s just to take the heat off my Miller, I''ll find a way to clean her up. You let me think about it." "Okay, I''ll wait for your good news." Hanging up the phone, Alisha breathed a sigh of relief. "Violet, the little bitch, what the hell am I going to do to her to get out of this day?" Nancy, who was listening to the story, yed with her fingernails and said carelessly, "It''s not easy to fix her, just find a man to ruin her?" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Hearing this, Alisha gave her a look, "Daughter, that''s true, but Mom doesn''t want to break thew, how do we get someone to destroy her without a trace?" Nancy lifted her eyes, "Mom, who told you to break thew? Just like Evie, introduce a marriage to Violet and be done with it?" "This" Alisha moved to Nancy''s side, "Daughter, you always have an idea. But now that we are in such a deadlock with the Violet sisters, tell mom how to introduce her to a match?" Nancy blew her nails and said, "Mom, just tell Evie that her mother still has the relics here and toe and get them as soon as possible. Evie will definitely tell Violet, and with Violet''s style, she won''t let the relics go, but she won''t let Eviee and get them, but she wille and get them herself. By then" Nancy was talking to Alisha, who was listening carefully and nodding. "This is a good idea, or my daughter is the smartest. However." Alisha thought of something and hesitantly said, "Daughter, I see that Violet came over today and brought two bodyguards with her. Do you think it could be the ones Louis sent to protect Violet? Although Violet and Louis divorced, I''m afraid Louis still protects her." Hearing this, Nancyughed disdainfully. "Mom, how attractive do you think Violet is? What kind of a person Louis is, what kind of woman does he want, how can he protect his ex-wife? Don''t worry, I saw Louis at the mall today, I saw it clearly, he is indifferent to Violet." "Is that so? That would be good." Alisha is relieved, pondering who to let ruin Violet. The corners of Nancy''s mouth hooked and a cold glint shed in her eyes. Violet dares to steal her thunder, of course she won''t let her get away with it! The following day. RW Styling Studio. "Sister, try it, I made a new product." Evie holds a pastry in her hand and forks a small piece to Violet''s mouth. Violet took a taste and nodded, "It tastes good." "Yeah, I think it''s good too, sweet but not overwhelming." Evieughed. Violet gave her a look and teased, "Evie, did you sleep wellst night? Look at that glowing look, it''s true that women in love are different." Hearing this, Evie looked shy, "Sister, don''t be ridiculous, I have no such thing!" "No? So you don''t like Isaac, huh? Not at all happy to hear that he''s going to marry you? How about I go and tell him that you don''t want to marry him and let him go find someone else to marry." Violet continued to tease her. Evie was teased and blushed, "Sis, you''re so bad, I''m ignoring you." After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave. Chapter 294 Chapter 294 I ran into Natalie head-on. Natalie greeted her with a smile, "Evie!" Evie stopped in her tracks, "Natalie,e to work? Here, try the pastry." "Thanks." Natalie took the pastry and seeing Evie''s red face with a shy look, said, "What are you talking about? Evie, why is your face so red?" "Talking about her wedding, and we''ll be drinking Evie''s wedding wine soon." Violet said with a smile. "Really, Evie, who are you marrying? Is it Isaac?" Natalie blurted out with a look of surprise. Violet gave her a look, "Natalie, that was a good guess, how did you know Evie liked Isaac?" "Huh?" Natalie''s almond eyes shed and she hurriedly said, "I''ve seen them both before when Isaac came to Evie, and the way Evie looked at Isaac was the look of a young girl with spring in her eyes." "Natalie, where am I. No more talk, I''m busy." Evie stomped her feet and ran away with a shy face. "Miss Helena, Evie is shy, so I''ll get busy too." Natalie said. "Good." Violet curled her lips and answered. Natalie turned and let out a surreptitious breath. Violet entered the office, thought about the empty counter at Sky Shopping Mall, and thought about it, but decided not to ept Louis''s favor. Pulling out her cell phone, she called Manager Hamilton. "Manager Hamilton, I''ve thought about it and decided to rent the original empty counter. When are you free toe to the mall and sign the contract?" Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Hearing this, Manager Hamilton hurriedly said, "Miss Elliott, do you want to reconsider? That location of ST counter is so good, why do you want to rent that empty rental table?" "Manager Hamilton, thank you for your kind words. It''s just that I''m limited in my ability, and I''m afraid I''ll disgrace you by renting the best counter and not being able to meet the sales quota given by the mall." Violet exined with a smile. "This Miss Elliott, you think too much." With Mr. Johnson as a big backer, even if we don''t meet the sales quota given by the mall, who would dare to say anything wrong? Manager Hamilton hung up the phone, somewhat unable to understand Violet''s brain circuit. After thinking about it, he called Harry. He is in ce to convey what they want, but people do not ept it. The Johnson Group. Harry is reporting from the president''s office. When he received a call from Manager Hamilton saying that Violet had politely declined the position in the ST counter, the look on his face was inexplicable. Miss Elliott has too much backbone! Just refuse to bow down ande to say thank you and say a good word to the president? This huge low pressure, he has to suffer when ah! "I see you look like you''re having a hard time, who''s calling?" Louis heard the words Manager Hamilton and lifted his eyes slightly to ask a question. Harry regretted a little that he had just answered the phone in his office. Because he thought Manager Hamilton must have gotten things done before he made the call. But I didn''t want it to be bad news. "It was Manager Hamilton from the mall who called and said." Harry paused and said stiffly in the president''s gaze, "Miss Elliott turned down that position at st to rent the original counter she was looking at." Chapter 295 Chapter 295 As soon as the words left his mouth, Harry clearly felt the cold air swishing towards him again. He nced at Louis and saw that he had lowered his eyes and started to approve the documents. Most afraid of the sudden silence in the air, Harry swallowed, "Mr. Johnson, there is nothing else, then I will go out and busy." Louis heard the door close, his hands moved, and a soft snort spilled from the corner of his mouth. Look at him, just do not remember, have to do licking dog. That damn woman got hit in the face again! If he gets on her case again in the future, he ps himself twice! Afternoon. Tasty Interlude Bakery. "Evie, just finished working? Have some water." Natalie went down to the first floor and handed a bottle of water to Evie, who had just finished her work. "Thanks." Evie smiled and said thank you. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Natalie looked at her, "Evie, congrattions, you''re getting married, Isaac looks like a great guy." "Yes, Isaac is indeed a great guy, and I didn''t expect him to ask me to marry him." Evie took a sip of water with a sweet face. Natalie''s eyes flickered, "But Evie, as your friend, I feel I need to remind you that Isaac likes Miss Helena, right?" A sentence, let Evie face smile slightly convergence, a moment speechless. Natalie continued, "Evie, Isaac came to see Miss Helena yesterday while you were away. I saw him standing with Erin and Miss Helena in his arms, and there was spection among the customers that they were family. Do you think he will just treat you as a rebound girl?" Hearing this, Evie''s brow furrowed. "Natalie, don''t guess blindly. I know the person Isaac likes in his heart is my sister, but when he proposes to me, he won''t think about my sister anymore, he''s not that kind of bad man." Natalie looked at Evie, "Evie, you''re not bad looking, there must be a lot of guys out there who like you and only see you as the one, I think you could have a better choice, I''m just not worth it for you." The words sounded like she was fighting for her, but Evie''s face had sunk. "Natalie, if you still want to be friends with me, don''t say things like that in the future. I think Isaac is great and I identify with him." Seeing Evie''s displeasure, Natalie stopped. "I''m sorry, I''m a straightforward person, I''ll say whatever I want, Evie you don''t mind, and I won''t say it again." Evie tugged at the corner of her lips and didn''t make a sound. "Then you get busy, I''m going to get busy too." Natalie spoke up and turned to leave. Evie held the bottle and let out a breath. What Natalie says is not without merit, but she believes Isaac. He''s a good man, and if they''re together, he won''t fail himself! The phone rang. Evie returned to her senses and pulled out her phone to look at it. It''s Alisha''s phone. This ck-hearted bastard, why did he call again! Evie simply pressed off the phone. Just a few momentster, she received a message. "Don''t want what''s left of your mother?" Her mother''s relics? Evie wrinkled her brow, thought about it, and called back with a huff. "What relics does my mother have over there? You''re trying to trick me back again, aren''t you?" "Damn girl, how do you talk to me? You almost killed your father yesterday, he''s still lying in bed, and you didn''te to see him! That''s your own father, you''ll be struck by lightning for harming him." Alisha cursed over the phone. Evie snorted, "I don''t have a father who sells his daughter out like that. Tell me, what exactly does my mother have left over there?" "Damn girl, be polite to me! Didn''t you want to cut off contact with us? If I wasn''t afraid of burning your mother''s relics directly for bad luck, I wouldn''t have informed you." Chapter 296 Chapter 296 Alisha reprimanded, "I''ll give you half a day, if you don''te and take your mom''s stuff away today, don''t me me for just throwing it in the garbage!" Alisha hung up the phone right after she finished. Evie stared at the phone screen, uncertain of what to do. What else is left of Mom at the Williams Manor? Could it be another one of Alisha''s tricks to trick her back? Subconsciously she didn''t want to talk to her, but what if there really was something of her mother''s leftovers there? Evie thought left and right, took the phone and walked quickly up to the second floor to find Violet. At this time, Violet was preparing to go to the mall to sign a contract. "Sis, where are you going, Alisha just called me and said my mom''s belongings are at the Williams Manor and asked me to go get them within the day or she''s going to throw them in the trash." Evie finished in one breath. The smile on Violet''s face narrowed, "She wants you back again? Did it say what Auntie Paige''s legacy was?" "No." Evie shook her head. "Evie, you can''t go back, I''m afraid Alisha doesn''t have good intentions." Violet said. "But what if the Williams Manor really has my mom''s belongings? Sis, I don''t want my mom''s things to be spoiled by those two ck-hearted people, so I think I''d better go back for a trip." Evie''s eyes were a little red and she had an indignant look on her face. Violet understood how she felt and said silently, "Evie, don''t go back, I''ll get it for you." Evie was stunned, "Sister, you went back to get something for me? But what if those two ck-hearted people don''t have good intentions? You will also be in danger!" "No fear, I''ll be careful." Violet soothed. "But." "Don''t but it, good boy, go and get busy, wait for me toe back." Violet hammered home the point and left Evie to her work. Evie looked worried, but was used to doing what Violet told her to do, so she nodded obediently. "Sis, if you need anything, make sure you call me." "Good." Violet smiled, then pulled out her cell phone and called Manager Hamilton to push through today''s signing. Hanging up the phone, she wondered if she should find someone to apany her. After all, she was also afraid that those two ck-hearted people would take the opportunity to set her and Evieup again. At that moment, someone walked in. "Helena, busy?" It was Brooklyn who came. Violet''s eyes twitched and she greeted him, "Mr. Brooklyn, what can I do for you?" "Nothing, just passing by and wanted to meet you for a cup of tea." "Take a break from drinking tea, why don''t you go somewhere with me first?" "Hmm? Yes!" "Don''t you even ask me where I want you to apany me?" "It doesn''t matter, I''ll be happy to apany you wherever you want to go." "......" the Williams Manor. Alisha looked at the older man sitting on the couch and smiled as she handed over a cup of tea. "Mr. Reynolds, if we be inws in the future, our Miller''s business will depend on you to take care of it more." The old man''s name is Buddy Reynolds, almost 50 years old, is in the steel business. Two months ago just after the death of his second wife, he put the word out in the circle that he wanted to find a young and beautiful sequel. This man was a gangster when he was young, usually likes to drink, after drinking will also be domestic violence, which good family girls dare to marry him as a second wife? Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. But it would cure that little bitch Violet. If she dares to resist, she will definitely be beaten up by this Buddy until her parents don''t even know her! Chapter 297 Chapter 297 "If it doese to pass, it will certainly not forget the goodness of your Miller family." Buddy took a slow sip of tea and returned. "But Mr. Reynolds, Miller''s niece has be a lot wilder because she married a rich family. I introduced the introduction, can not manage it, but depends on you." Alisha spoke with a roll of her eyes. "A woman is only as good as her wildness! If you follow me, you can be sure she will submit to me." Buddy said arrogantly. "Yes, Mr. Reynolds is still a flirt to this day! A woman has topare to know what kind of man is best for her." Alisha coaxed: "Mr. Reynolds, wait, simply cook the rice first, then that Violet know your good, will certainly be happy to marry you." Hearing this, Buddy narrowed his eyes and looked at Alisha with a wicked smile. "Mrs. Williams, you''re not very nice." "Gee, I''m not thinking of you for Mr. Reynolds. The easiest way to get there the fastest, it''s better for everyone." Alisha continued to coax. "Haha, interesting! Okay, let''s do it." Buddyughed and responded. At that moment, the doorbell rang, and a servant came to report. "Ma''am, Miss Elliott is here, and there''s a man with her." Came with a man? Could it be Isaac? The smile on Alisha''s face narrowed slightly as she walked to the doorway and looked out. She snorted coldly at the sight of the visitor being Brooklyn. How is it him? Violet the woman is good, and hooked up with the Scott family this illegitimate son it. Fearing that he was counting on her, he brought Brooklyn, his illegitimate son, to help him out? No way! Can''t let this Brooklyne in and ruin her day. Alisha''s eyes rolled and she ignored Violet outside for the moment, instead walking up to Buddy. "Mr. Reynolds, Violet the nympho has brought a little white boy with her! If you want to have a good time, you can do this" Brooklyn''s mother, Blossom, has been an unseen third party all her life and is a patient. As soon as someone goes to stimte her, she will definitely have to go to the hospital. Buddy''s men keep punks who can go and stimte Blossom so that he can draw Brooklyn away. Buddy listened to one ear and smiled yfully, "Mrs. Williams, I can''t see that you have quite a lot of ideas." "Gee, it''s not for you to have a good time today." Alisha coaxed a couple of times, and Buddy went to the phone. The doorbell was still ringing and the servant asked if she wanted to answer it, Alisha grunted, "What''s the hurry, let them wait a while." She had to wait for Buddy''s people to follow through before opening the door. Outside the door, Violet rang the doorbell again and again, saw that no one came to open the door, frowned slightly. After thinking about it, she pulled out her cell phone and called Alisha directly. The phone was finally answered after several rings. Violet was no nonsense, "Mrs. Williams, I''vee to get what''s left of my Auntie Paige." Alisha in the room spoke arrogantly, "Why are you the one who came? Wait for it." "How long will it be, Mrs. Williams, if you don''t want to give it, then keep it. auntie Paige shouldn''t mind, crawling out of the ground in the middle of the night to catch up with you." "You!" Alisha blushed and inexplicably felt eerie at home. She snapped off the phone, took a deep breath, and looked over at Buddy. "Mr. Reynolds, all done?" "Can''t handle this little thing?" Buddy shot back. "That would be great, you go upstairs first, you''ll have funter." Today she sent Miller away and Nancy went out to y with her friends. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. She was the only one in the house, with two reliable servants. When Violet enters this house, she will be unable to respond to the call of the day and the call of the earth! When Buddy came upstairs, Alisha straightened her dress and gestured to the servant to open the door. Chapter 298 Chapter 298 The door opened and Violet stood in the doorway, looking at Alisha''s haughty expression and said in a faint voice, "Mrs. Williams, can I have my Auntie Paige''s relics now?" Alisha smiled coldly, "Violet, who are you to tell me what to do? If you want to get something, go upstairs and get it yourself." Violet looked at her steadily and did not make a sound for a moment. Brooklyn, who was on one side, said, "Helena,e on, I''ll walk you in to get your stuff." Violet gave him a look and nodded. "Hey, I''m the only one in the house today, so it''s not good for you toe in as an outside man." Alisha stopped Brooklyn. Violet was amused, "Mrs. Williams, what do you mean? Afraid of what my friend might do to you? Do you want me to get you a mirror? I don''t think every man is hungry for an old woman." "You!" Alisha choked and her face changed for a moment. Brooklyn smiled back and was about to walk Violet into the house when her phone rang. He took out his cell phone and looked at it and found that it was the servant of the house calling. "Hello?" "Mr. Brooklyn, it''s not good,e back quickly, Mrs. Scott has passed out." "What? What''s going on?" Brooklyn asked with a start. "Mrs. Scott passed out when she couldn''t catch her breath." The servant hurriedly returned the call. "I got it, I''ll be right back." Brooklyn put the phone away, looked at Violet and said somewhat apologetically, "Helena, I''m sorry, I''ve had a family emergency and I need to get back right away." Violet froze and nodded, "Okay, you hurry back." "But you''re here." Brooklyn nced at Alisha with some hesitation. "It''s okay, I''ll leave after I get my stuff." Violet smiled and brought the bag in her hand towards her arms. "Then get back in touch." "Good." Watching Brooklyn leave, Alisha''s eyes shed with a hint of smugness. Looks like Buddy''s guys pulled it off. Now there''s no obstacle. "What are you still standing there for? Come in and get your stuff." Alisha turned around coldly and proudly and headed towards the couch in the living room. Violet was silent and followed her inside. "Where is the stuff?" "It''s in the attic, go get it yourself." Alisha, with her short haircut,zily replied. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Violet looked at her for two seconds and turned to go upstairs. Alisha on the sofa watched Violet''s back as she went upstairs, a winning smile curling the corners of her mouth. After today, she can take credit for it with Rosalie. Soon she will be able to step into high society! The third floor loft, Violet pushed open the door and walked in. This ce is an attic, but the ce is not small and cleaned quite well. There is a coffee table and a copsible table. A few books were ced on it. Could that be Auntie Paige''s relics? Violet walked over quickly and was about to pick up the books when she noticed an aromatherapy An aroma is curling up from inside. Scent! Something is wrong! Violet froze, thought of something, hastily covered her mouth and nose, picked up the books and tried to leave. The scent was a bit cloying, and I don''t know if it was just her, but she felt a bit dizzy. Alisha couldn''t have done something in this house! Chapter 299 Chapter 299 Just then, the attic was pushed open and someone barged in. Violet was startled and hurriedly stepped back, "Who are you? What do you want?" Buddy looked Violet up and down and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. "You must be Miss Elliott! You do look pretty. My name is Buddy, I want to marry you, as long as you follow me, you are guaranteed to eat and drink every day." Hearing this, Violet immediately understood that today''s incident was definitely Alisha''s doing again. This woman, why does she want to set her and Evie up? Is there a disease? Violet building window venttion, while taking a knife out of the bag. "Stay back or don''t me me for being rude." She was afraid of being set up by Alisha again, so she hid a knife in her bag in advance. Buddy was slightly stunned, thenughed, "Mrs. Williams is right, Miss Elliott has been Mrs. Johnson for a year, so she is really wild." "Mr. Reynolds, now that you know I used to be Mr. Johnson''s wife, how dare you hit on me!" Violet stared at Buddy, who was still walking over, and pointed the knife at him. Buddyughed, "Miss Elliott, you''ve said that you were once Mr. Johnson''s wife, and now you''re single again, aren''t you? Listen, as long as you obediently follow me, I will not treat you badly." With that, he stepped forward to grab the knife. "Don''t youe any closer!" Violet snapped, stabbing at Buddy with a knife. Buddy, who was a gangster in his youth, was a bit of a handful and easily grabbed the knife from Violet''s hand and pushed her into the copsing rice. The man''s body pressed down, Violet was shocked and angry, and hurriedly screamed: "Buddy, I am Louis'' woman, don''t you dare touch me!" Miss Elliott, still holding the title of Mrs. Johnson over me? Do I need to remind you again? You''ve already divorced Louis, you two are no longer rted, so why am I afraid to touch you?" "Buddy, even if Louis and I are divorced, then I''m still his woman!" Violet tensed her little face, "The main thing is that he is now chasing me and wants to remarry me. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. What do you think would happen if you knew you touched me!" Louis'' name rang a bell, and she bluffed him a bit first. I hope this man won''t dare to do anything to her when he hears this from her. Buddy looked at Violet steadily, and there was a sh of hesitation in his eyes. "Violet, are you lying to a three-year-old? I heard that he had a child with a woman and divorced you for her. And who is Louis, the boss of Crotosi City''s business world, who would want a woman? Would he pursue you instead?" Hearing this, Violetughed, "Mr. Reynolds, you don''t know, I initiated the divorce in the first ce, Louis actually didn''t want to divorce me because he liked me a lot." Violet paused, saw Buddy clearly hesitated, continued to speak. "You''ve heard that Cooper Burke, the managing director of The Johnson Group, was arrested and sent to prison, right? Do you know what he was arrested for? Mr. Reynolds, do you want this to happen to you too?" Anyway, Louis is not there and she must exaggerate so that Buddy will be discouraged from viting her. Buddy looked at Violet steadily, like he was trying to decide whether she was telling the truth or not. Halfway through the day, he let go of Violet and said, "That''s just your side of the story, I don''t believe Louis is really after you. You call him, I want to hear what he says for myself." Violet: "......" She has said this, but this man does not fall for it? Calling Louis, wouldn''t that be a mistake? "What, you don''t dare to make this call? I knew it, you made up this nonsense on purpose." Buddy grunted and grabbed Violet with one hand. "Who says I''m afraid to call! I''ll call Louis right now." Violet said hurriedly. "Well, just tell him that someone has introduced you to someone and ask him what to do." Buddy held Violet''s hand tightly in one hand and yed with the sharp knife in the other, staring at her intently. If she didn''t do as she was told, she would have to wait for her adultery before she was killed. Chapter 300 Chapter 300 Violet swallowed hard and took out her cell phone and dialed Louis'' number. The phone rang a few times and was picked up. A low, maic male voice came out of the current. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. "Hello?" Violet looked at Buddy and squeezed out a smile, "Louis, someone was introducing me to someone, I said you were courting me, they didn''t believe me and insisted that I ask you for proof." The phone is on speakerphone. There is silence in the current. Violet''s heart fluttered and she quickly softened her voice and said curtly, "Honey, I was wrong the other day, I shouldn''t have been bullying and made you angry, can you forgive me?" The breathing in the current was a little heavy, and half a whileter, Louis'' voice finally rang out. "Where are you? Who dares to introduce you to someone? Are you tired of living?" He actually went along with what she said! Violet''s heart was happy, and her seven hearts slowly fell to the ground. "Well, don''t be angry, I''ve made it clear to the other side that I''m your woman, who dares to steal a woman from you?" Louis didn''t break her down! She could have gotten away with it today. "Good to know, who dares to touch you, I will have to pick his skin." Louis'' chilly voice echoed through the electricity in the room. Violet nced at Buddy and saw him subconsciously swallow. It seems Louis'' name does work. Violet snickered, "Well, then I''ll hang up and have dinner with youter." "Okay, waiting for your call." On the other end of the phone, Louis looked at the hung up phone and his dark eyes narrowed. Violet is not right. As far as her serious character is concerned, how can she be pampered to him and call him darling? Where the hell is she? Was it threatened? Louis'' eyebrows sank and he took his coat and left in stride. In the attic. Violet waved her phone, "Mr. Reynolds, you hear that? You should believe it now, right?" Buddy let go of her long ago and squeezed a grin out of his old face. "Miss Elliott, don''t mind if I offend you. But I really can''t be med for this today, it''s Mrs. Williams who said you don''t have a boyfriend now and asked me to cook the rice with you first." Violet had a guess in her mind. She coldly curled her lips, "Mr. Reynolds, Alisha is trying to push you into the fire! If you touch me today, with Louis'' fondness for me, you''ll be guaranteed to disappear from Crotosi City." Hearing this, Buddy was also a little scared. Although he is older than Louis, but can not help but to drive people more powerful than him ah. If he really touches Louis'' woman today, he will not end up well. "Almost got killed by Alisha." Violet looked at Buddy''s indignant face and her eyes moved slightly. "Mr. Reynolds, Alisha had a problem with me, so she used you against me. If this seeds, Louis will not retaliate on them, but will only deal with you, will you just let it go?" Buddy: "......" Chapter 301 Chapter 301 Alisha watched the time in the living room and sat back a bit. And I wonder how things are going in the attic. If you haven''te out for so long, you must have made it! With that in mind, Alisha got up and walked joyfully upstairs. At that moment, the attic door opened and Buddy came out. Alisha was pleased to see his chest open and a satisfied look on his face. "Mr. Reynolds, how''s it going? Did it work out?" Buddy gave her a look with a look of intent, "Nice, this Violet sure tastes good. I have some urgent business to take care of right now, I''ll contact you when I''m done." It''s done! Alisha was overjoyed and said, "Good, Mr. Reynolds, take care of yourself and get in touch." Violet, the girl, she finally got her! When Buddy was gone, Alisha grimaced and walked up to the loft and pushed the door open. In the attic, Violet is finishing her clothes, and when she sees Alisha appear, a sh of shame and anger passes through her eyes. "You tricked me here on purpose, didn''t you Alisha, are you still human?" Alisha snorted, "Violet, you''re Miller''s niece, and I''m doing this for your sake. What kind of good family do you want to find for a divorced woman?" "Buddy may be a little older, but an older man can love people! And he has money, in the future when he dies, his family fortune will still belong to you? You''ll be happy then." Hearing this, Violet simply had tough in exasperation. "Alisha, this isn''t over, you''ll get what''sing to you!" "Yo, you''re still talking tough? I''m still afraid of you!" Alisha had a disbelieving look on her face. Once Violet took her things and left in a huff, she gave Rosalie a smug look on her face to report the news. "Mrs. Johnson, it''s done! Let me tell you, I found her an older man who is known in the circle as a domestic violence man ......" Alisha adds fuel to the fire by telling Rosalie what happened. Rosalie was in a good mood, "Mrs. Williams, you did a good job on this, I will definitely call you when there is a party next time." "Okay, then I''ll wait for your call." "......" Outside. Violet got in her car and drove away. Alisha is counting on her again, just wait until you see her fight back. The car just drove out not long after, the headlights of a Bentley on the side of the road suddenly shed. Violet looked over and hastily mmed on the brakes. That''s Louis'' car! Why is he here! Violet''s heart skipped a beat when she thought about the conversation she had just had on the phone. Just now she was pampered and seduced by Louis, a little embarrassed how to do? Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Violet, her ears slightly hot, hit the steering wheel and pulled the car over to the side of the road. Louis'' window rolled down and his thin lips spat out, "Come here." Violet dutifully got out of the car and got into Louis'' car. "Mr. Johnson, thank you just now." The woman lowered her eyebrows and meekly thanked him. Louis looked at her askance and spoke expressionlessly, "Thank me for what?" He asked Harry to find out where she was, which led him to discover that she hade to the Williams Manor. Thinking about that phone call just now, I''m afraid something is going on. So he drove over. See, he seems to be rushing to be a licking dog again. "Thank you for not tearing me down." Violet spoke softly. Louis looked at her, "Tell me, what''s going on?" "It was Mrs. Williams who tricked me back with the intention of getting me married." Violet answered back truthfully. "Alisha told you toe back, and you came back?" Louis wrinkled his eyebrows and said mockingly: "I remember yesterday the Williams had just coaxed your cousin and almost married her to a fool, right? And today you''ve been tricked again? Can you think with your head? Are you pig-headed?" Violet: "......" This man, or the usual poisonous tongue. Forget about it, because he helped her, she does not bother with him. Chapter 302 Chapter 302 Violet was silent, hanging her head and listening to the lecture. Louis looked at her obedient appearance, a cavity of depression is dissipated a few points. "Who did she ask you to marry?" "An older man named Buddy." "So, you used me?" Violet raised her eyes, looked at the man''s handsome face that was not distinguishable from his anger, and moved her lips, "Mr. Johnson, once again, I say thank you." The woman had a sincere face and looked very well behaved. Louis thought of that darling in the current and her pouty tone, and had the urge to make her say it again. But the thought of her calling herself a dog licker, he suppressed the ups and downs and said in a cold voice: "I''m ttered by such a sincere thank you, I thought I was going to be called a dog licker again." Violet: "......" This man is really vindictive! But yes, who let her hurt people''s self-esteem? "Mr. Johnson, I''m sorry ......" "Come on, I''m not short of these polite words." Louis interrupted Violet coldly, but his eyebrows softened a bit. The gloom of the past few days seems to have cleared away. Just for listening to her softly and softly talking to herself. Look at him, really do lick the dog to do hopelessly. "Well, then, I''ll leave the polite talk to you." Violet said, "Mr. Johnson, I''ll host you and Mr. Evison at the Imperial Club tonight for dinner and a good show." Watching a show? What are you watching? Louis raised his sword eyebrows and looked at Violet somewhat inquisitively. Violet knew what was on his mind and said, "Alisha is trying to set me up, and it doesn''t seem right for me not to give her a little gift in return." So, in the evening, she prepared a big gift for Alisha. Looking at Violet''s clear little face, the corners of Louis'' mouth hooked up. This is a vengeful master, and a bit like yourself. It''s just a pity that ...... "Okay, since it''s okay, get out of the car." Louis'' handsome face continued to be tense as he thought of her constant rejection of himself. "Then Mr. Johnson, would you please speak to Mr. Evison and David and we''ll see you tonight." Violet pulled open the car door. Louis snorted lightly, "You''re pretty good at making me look bad." Violet pulled the door with a hand and looked at him with an innocent face. She really didn''t think about it that much, the words just came out of her mouth. She really seems to think of him as someone very close to her. "What are you doing frozen? Not getting out of the car and apanying me to work?" Louis touched her clear eyes and his mood inexplicably cleared. Love to see how soft she is to herself. "Goodbye Mr. Johnson." Violet got out of the car and waved to him. Watching the car speed away, she patted her face with a stiff smile and let out a long breath. How does it feel to make up with your boyfriend? Ahem, don''t get carried away. No matter what, she will not marry him again. Violet went back to the studio. Evie breathed a long sigh of relief when she returned safely. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Sister, are you all right? You''ve been gone for so long, I''ve been on tenterhooks." "I''m fine." Violet smiled reassuringly at her. "Sis, what about my mom''s relics?" Evie asked. "There''s no relics, another one of Alisha''s tricks to trick us back." Violet said back. "What? So nothing happened while you were there?" Evie had a nervous look on her face. "It''s okay, it''s all settled." Violet patted her hand and said with a smile, "Let''s wrap up early tonight and go to Imperial Club for dinner and a wee party for this new hire." Chapter 303 Chapter 303 Nightes. Imperial Club, with its rousing music. People who are tired all day are indulging themselves recklessly here, spilling their enthusiasm and sweat. In a private room on the third floor, Violet and Josie, with their daughter, gathered with the staff of the styling studio and Tasty Interlude Bakery, as well as Evie and Isaac. The people present were basically young people, and the table was full ofughter. "Guys, you must eat well today and don''t save money for me. Josie and I have some businesster, so I won''t be here with you all." After Violet and the crowd had a couple of sses of fruit wine, she pulled Josie up and prepared to leave. "Miss Helena, where are you going." Natalie saw that Violet was leaving and rushed to ask. "Take your time, Josie and I have some friends in another private room. isaac, Evie, I''ll leave you to it." Violet picked up her daughter and smiled. Louis and Austin, along with David, are waiting for them in another booth. As she watched Violet leave, Natalie''s hand tugged at her chopsticks, her gaze locked on her figure. "Natalie, stop looking! I have a date with a beautiful woman! Let''s eat what we want." Evie smiled and gave Natalie a chopstick of food. Natalie squeezed out a smile, "Evie, Miss Helena has a date with someone!" "With her ex-husband!" ...... Another private room. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. The three Louis are slowly sipping their tipple. "David, did you feel the temperature in the booth today was normal?" Austin squeezed his eyes toward David. David understood and nodded in a serious manner, "Yes, because Louis didn''t send chills." Louis'' dark eyes shot coldly at the two men, eliciting augh from them. "Louis, your ex-wife suddenly invited you to dinner, you must be happy because you helped her, right?" Austin raised his ss and clinked it with him, smirking. Louis sipped his wine and didn''t say a word. Austin looked at him, "I said, don''t y the high and mighty game. You tell us, what do you really think now? Are you really going to give up Violet and marry Grace? Or are you just gambling with Violet?" Louis'' drinking hand lurched and his brow furrowed. Seeing that he still didn''t say anything, Austin continued, "Look at you, I see that you still have your ex- wife in mind. If you still want to renew your rtionship with her, I have an idea." "What''s the idea?" David didn''t wait for Louis to speak before he came over with a look of interest. "If you ask me, Violet doesn''t necessarily have no feelings for you. But she keeps pushing you away, she must be minding who you are. After all, you''re the baby''s father now, she doesn''t want to be the bad woman, and it''s justifiable to get involved in your rtionship with Grace." Austin analyzes the rtionship between the two and gives Louis ideas. "Louis, why don''t you try a different identity, and when she falls in love with you, you can show who you are." Once these words came out, David immediatelyughed: "Austin, this is a good idea! Louis, you are the boss behind Infinity Tech Company, but no one knows about it, why don''t you use this identity to approach Helena." The two men sang and spoke in unison, saying the same thing. Louis'' eyes and heart moved slightly, and he took a sip of wine from his ss. "You two are really fed up with idleness, when did I say that I must have her?" He is a big president, need to go to such great lengths to get a woman? "Yes, yes, we''re just full of it! You just keep talking out of your ass!" Austin and David looked at each other, clinked their sses, and snorted lightly at the same time. At that moment the door was pushed open and Violet and Josie came in with Erin. Chapter 304 Chapter 304 "Three big handsome guys, sorry, we arete." Josie enters and greets a few people with a smile. "It''s okay, it''s okay, women, they have the right to bete." Austin greeted her with a smile and after saying hello to Violet, he picked Erin up. "Erin, we meet again." "Hee hee, hello uncle." Erin recognized Austin and greeted him with a cheeky smile. Austin raised an eyebrow and nced at Josie, "Erin, you call her Josie mommy right?" "Uh-huh, that''s right." "Then you''ll have to call me Dadby." Crowd: "......" Erin looked at him and then at Josie, blinking her big eyes, dumb and dumber. Josie bit her red lip and red at Austin, "Mr. Evison, will you stop making Erin scream?" "How''s that for messy screaming?" Austin hooked his lips, "You''re my girlfriend, Erin calls you mommy, shouldn''t you call me daddy?" "No. ......" "Mr. Evison, let me rify, Erin is my daughter, Josie is just her godmother, so if you and Josie do get together in the future, Erin can call you Godfather." Violet doesn''t want Josie to be misunderstood all the time and opens up to exin Erin''s rtionship with her. "So Josie is just Erin''s godmother, but a godfather is also a daddy!" Erin, call her daddy. Austin gave Violet a parting nce and continued to tease Erin. Because he had already known about the rtionship, he was not too surprised. But David didn''t know, so his eyes widened in surprise. "What? Helena, this child is your daughter?" "Yes, Erin is my daughter, and I''m a single mom." Violet guffawed, a look of candor. David looked at her and then at the unperturbed Louis and asked, "Louis, did you already know about this?" Louis took a sip of his wine and didn''t respond to him, but got up and took Erin from Austin. "Erin, why didn''t you call me?" Erin blinked her big eyes and wrapped her little hands around his neck, saying in a milky voice, "I''m afraid Uncle Louis doesn''t like me anymore." "Why do you think so?" Louis asked as he stroked her little head. "Because I''m not your daughter!" Erin ttened her mouth, a little aggravated. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Louis hugged her to the couch and forked her a piece of fruit, "Whether you''re my daughter or not, I''ll always love you." "Really!" "Really." "Hee hee, Uncle Louis, I like you too, you eat too." "......" Watching the interaction between the two, David came over to Austin and whispered, "Austin, it seems you knew about this a long time ago, right? So who is the real father of this child? Why do I think she looks a bit like Louis?" Austin stroked his chin, "Daughters look like their fathers, maybe this is fate, the fate that is going to be a family." He also did not know who the child''s real father was. Josie probably knows that. But he doesn''t want to pry into other people''s sore spots. Louis wouldn''t mind raising a daughter if he and Violet did remarry anyway. Chapter 305 Chapter 305 "Well, you three big men may not be seated now?" Josie hugged Erin and pulled Violet to sit at the foodden table. "Yes, we can start eating." Austin sat down next to Josie. Louis got up slowly and was pulled by David to sit next to Violet. Violet poured juice for her daughter and wine for the others. Austinughed, "Helena, this is not a cheap table today, so I''ll let you break the bank." Violet was about to speak when Josie said, "You still say that? Imperial Club is your property, how can you be so kind as to let Violet break the bank?" "Ha, I''m the one who was informed today!" Austin had an innocent look on his face. Josie wanted to say something else, but Violet stopped her. "Josie, they did Evie and I a big favor yesterday and said this meal would be on me." Violet paused and raised her ss, "Mr. Johnson, Mr. Evison, Louis, I appreciate your help yesterday, I''ll drink to that, make yourselvesfortable." Violet was quick to drink a ss of wine. "Violet, take it easy, you''ve just had a lot to drink when you came over." Josie warned. "I just drank a fruit wine, it''s not a problem." Violet touched her face, which was a little hot, and smiled at Josie. Louis nced at her and didn''t make a sound, but took small sips of his wine. Austin gave Louis a look, "By the way, Helena, you have Louis to thank for what happened yesterday, he was the one who ordered me to fast track your search for Miller. Do you have a separate toast to him?" What he knows, today this drinking game, they are all Louis''s apaniment. I hope the rtionship between the two can break the ice ah. "Don''t give me a high hat. What kind of person are you? Can I order you around?" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Louis nced at Austin and said in a cold voice. "You''re my brother, howe you can''t order me around?" Austinughed lightly and squeezed his eyes at Violet. Louis is the arrogant ghost, have to put on the shelf it! Violet will understand and raise her ss to look at Louis. "Mr. Johnson, in addition to what happened yesterday, I would like to thank you especially for what happened this afternoon. No, it''s not just about today either; in short, I''ve been under your care for such a long time, and I really appreciate it." She and he really only got along for a few months or so, but looking back, he was like her patron saint, every time she was in trouble, he would appear and save her from danger. I really appreciate him. Violet picked up her ss and drank it in one go. Louis nced at her, silent, picked up the ss and drank the same. Grateful for him, but do not want to remarry him, this woman, is a master of insincerity. "Helena, what happened again this afternoon that we don''t know about?" David, who hadn''t said anything, looked at Violet and asked. Austin narrowed his eyes and spected, "Helena, don''t tell me that the Miller''s have set you up again?" "You guessed it." Josie looked indignant, "Violet, didn''t you say you would let us watch the show? Can we watch it now?" Hearing this, Violet curled her lips, and a sly glint shed in her slightly drunken eyes. "I had the camera put in advance in room 308, so let''s all see if the good show is on." ...... Alisha came to Imperial Club with great joy after receiving Buddy''s invitation. Chapter 306 Chapter 306 When I entered room 308, I saw Buddyughing and joking with two beautiful women dressed in cool clothes, and three creamy guys sitting next to him. "Yo, Mr. Reynolds, you''re having a st." Alisha was used to seeing it and sat down on the couch. Buddy gave her a look and a chuckle, "Howe you''re the only one here?Where''s Miller?" "His arm still hurts! Said to just let me talk to you about the gift money." Alisha said. Buddy''s old eyes shed at a couple of creamers. "It''s better if you are alone. You guys, why don''t you hurry up and serve Alisha?" "Yes." A few younger men sat next to Alisha, a mouthful of sister to her tea and water, extraordinarily attentive. Alisha is now at least a rich wife and knows that these guys are the male publicists in the club. So peacefully enjoy their service. Buddy looked at Alisha''s enjoyment and smiled coldly in his heart, but his face did not show it. "Mrs. Williams, let''s talk about the bride price then, shall we? How much bride price do you want me to pay for marrying Violet to me?" At that, Alisha stopped a younger man from feeding the fruit and said with a smile, "Mr. Reynolds, you know my niece''s market. When she married The Johnson Family a year ago, The Johnson Family gave a bride price of $50 million. This time, it can''t be too little, right?" "You name a price." Buddy took a sip of his drink and spoke. "Thirty million." Alisha tentatively said a number. "Okay, I''ll take you up on that." Buddy readily agreed. Alisha''s eyes lit up, "Mr. Reynolds, are you really willing to pay $30 million for the bride price?" "Of course, who made Violet once Louis'' woman! Really, she''s more than that." Buddy nced at the greenery not far away and spoke meaningfully. There were cameras there, filming their every move. He''ll have to please Louis'' woman. Maybe when Louis is happy, just give him a business to do, he will be rich! "Mr. Reynolds is really quick, it seems that my niece is deeply in your heart." Alisha couldn''t help herself, and didn''t hear the deeper meaning in Buddy''s words. Buddy hmmed, patted the hands of the two women beside him, got up and said, "Mrs. Williams, wait a moment while I go to the bathroom ande back. You guys, serve me well." "Yes." Several male publicists responded in unison and once again served tea, poured water, and massaged. Alisha''s heart was full of joy, being served by several male publicists. The head is dizzy and the heart rises with the slightest desire ...... In another booth, Violet a few people watched the increasingly spicy scene, are turned away from the head. "This damnable old woman, she actually put an explicit price with people, to sell Violet as goods?" C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Josie said in exasperation. "Such old women deserve to be taught a lesson." Austin poured a sip of wine, and his eyes shed with a hint of coolness. "Isn''t it? I''ve never seen such a brazen woman." David thought of this being Nancy''s real mother and got a bad chill in his heart. Louis gripped his ss, the corners of his mouth curved out in a cold arc, "Just like that it''s over? It''s too cheap for her." "Of course it''s not over yet." Violet looked to Austin, "Mr. Evison, the rich wife is keeping a male prostitute here, do you mind if I give the paparazzi a tip? By the way, give your clubhouse a little advertisement." Austin froze, then smiled wickedly, "Don''t mind, of course not! This kind of person who corrupts the atmosphere of my clubhouse should be condemned by everyone and educated properly!" Chapter 307 Chapter 307 Private Room 308. There were journalists, paparazzi snapping away when Alisha was still in a state of chaos. As her thoughts cleared, she suddenly realized that she was naked at the moment. Apanied by a scream from her, the staff found immediately came forward to stop it, throwing a nket to her and telling her to hurry up and get dressed. Alisha saw the paparazzi reporters outside the door and screamed again, "Who are you people and what do you want?" "Thisdy, did youe to the club for excitement because your husband was too sexually weak?" "I heard that you just ordered several male publicists in one breath and forced them to have sex with you, is it true?" "What? What are you guys babbling about? I''m just having tea and chatting with my friends here." Stunned and flustered, Alisha looks around for Buddy. But she didn''t see Buddy in person. What did she just do? "Drinking tea and chatting requires taking off your clothes? Thisdy, your way of drinking tea is really something new." One of the doggies sneered. There were countless people standing outside watching andughing at thement, pointing at Alisha. "Who is this guy? An old man, but more yful than a young one!" "Shameless old woman, the old cow eats the young grass ah!" "Tch, who is her husband? This cuckold is glowing green!" "......" Alisha''s face lost all its blood as her ears were filled with the sneers of spectators. "No, you guys listen to me, I was framed!" She just came to talk to Buddy about the bride price, how could this happen! Must have been Buddy who set her up? But why did he set her up! The line of sight inadvertently swept over Violet, who was standing in the crowd, and saw her smiling brightly towards herself. Alisha''s eyes widened as something shed through her mind. It''s Violet! This is all Violet''s doing! It was her and Buddy who discussed and dug a hole for themselves to jump into! In the crowd, Violet watched Alisha flee in a mess, curling her lips as she and Josie headed back to the private room. "Ha, now Alisha is going to be famous." Josie had a smirk on her face. "A rich wife is indulging in sex behind her husband''s back in a club, this news is guaranteed to be in the hot search tomorrow." Austin smiled. "Hey, I wonder if Miller will be so mad when he sees this news that he''ll vomit blood?" Josie added. "That''s what he deserved, who made him so hical." Austin looked over at Violet andughed, "Helena, I heard from the bouncer back that you had them take Miller''s arm off yesterday? Gee, you''re a tiger!" Violet poured wine for several people, raised her ss and smiled, "Still, thank you all here for your help, I''ll drink to you again." Watching Violet take another drink, Austin raised an eyebrow and nced at Louis. At this rate, I''m afraid Violet is going to get drunk today. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Do your own brothers want some action? At that moment, the door of the private room was pushed open. Isaac brought Evie, and Natalie and others over for a toast. "Sis, how much wine have you drunk, your face is so red." After a round of toasts, Evie saw Violet blushing and asked with a smile. "I''m fine, I''m happy today." Violet waved her hand, her tongue already a bit too big. "Miss Helena, you''ve had too much to drink, or I''ll help you back to rest." Natalie walked over to Violet and held her up with a worried look on her face. "Natalie, I haven''t had too much to drink, don''t worry." Violet patted Natalie''s hand and exhaled with a sip of wine. Chapter 308 Chapter 308 "Little girl, you guys go have fun on your own. Your Miss Helena will be fine here, we''re taking care of her." Austin raised an eyebrow and gestured for Natalie and the others to go first. Natalie nced at Austin without speaking. Josie chimed in, "Yes, Natalie, I know you''re worried about your Miss Helena, but I''m here! You go y with Evie and the others." Natalie reluctantly smiled and was pulled away by Evie a few times. Josie watched them leave the room and looked sideways to see Austin staring at the doorway in thought. "Yo, Mr. Johnson, you''re looking straight at a pretty girl, huh?" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Austin returned to his senses and smiled ploddingly, "What are you talking about? I just thought that little girl named Natalie just now, looked at me a little cold, I was wondering where I offended her." "Really? Mr. Evison has yed with so many women, could she be one of them?" "What''s this nonsense? I''m going to go y with my daughter. erin,e to daddy." "Erin, he''s the big bad wolf, you have to run." "......" Louis yed with the ss, listening to theughter in the booth, the corners of his mouth hooked. The line of sight fell on Violet''s body, and saw that she was lost in a pair of almond eyes, giggling. A woman who has had too much to drink is a bit silly. The dumb and dumber look makes people want to tease her. Louis'' slender fingers tapped the tabletop, "Is it still drinkable?" Hearing his question, Violet turned her head half-slowly and cocked her head to look at him. "Of course I can still drink, do you want to drink with me?" The woman''s boozeden voice carries an unconscious softness. Louis took a deep look at hers, his eyes fell on her delicate red lips, and his eyes darkened slightly. "Why are you looking at me, Mr. Johnson, I''ll drink to you again, don''t look at me all the time, smile, okay?" Violet came closer to Louis and giggled towards him. Breathden with alcohol sprayed thinly on his face, tickling a piece. Even the limbs are tingling. Louis'' throat rolled slightly as he watched Violet stagger to her feet, fetch the sober jug and pour herself a drink. She was probably really drunk and fell over in his direction when she was unsteady on her feet. Louis subconsciously reached out and wrapped his arms around her. The wine in the wake-up jug spilled out, sshing him and her all over. Violet''s head was spinning. She looked at the sober jug in her hand, and then at the wine stain on Louis'' chest, and a glint of chagrin shed in her eyes. "I''m sorry, Mr. Johnson, I didn''t mean to do that. I... I didn''t hold it steady. I''ll, I''ll wipe it up for you." The woman''s long, slender fingers gestured back and forth across his chest, trying to wipe the wine stains off his chest. The warmth of the touch spread through his thin shirt to all the limbs. Like an electric current, stirring up a heart full of heat. Louis'' eyes deepened, and he sped someone''s still messy little hand, his voice dark and sexy. "Violet, did you do that on purpose?" Deliberately drunkenly and recklessly teasing him, so that his self-control copsed. "I... I didn''t! What if my clothes get dirty?" "It''s dirty, you wash it for me." "......" Looking at the two snuggled together, Austin and David nced at each other, a smile of understanding shed in each other''s eyes. "Austin, I have some business to attend to and I have to go first." David got up and squeezed his eyes toward Austin. Austin would understand and pick up Erin with a hug, "Josie, is Erin sleepy? Let''s go, let her follow us today." "Huh? What about Violet?" Josie asked as she gave Violet a look. Austin took her by the shoulders, "Josie, don''t you want your BFF and her ex-husband to renew their rtionship? Give them a little time alone together!" "......" Chapter 309 Chapter 309 Grace has been on the edge of her seat for the past few days. Because Marcus has not been answering her calls and has been perfunctory in his messages to her. He must still be mad at her. Angry that she didn''t help him out. She had to find him and find a way to coax him. So when she learned that Marcus had gone to the Imperial Club, she dressed up in disguise and couldn''t wait to follow him there. Marcus''s private room was in the VIP room on the third floor. Grace was passing the corner when she caught a glimpse of a man and a woman entangled together without thinking about it. "Nina, look at me! After all these years, why can''t you see my existence? Yes, I''m not as handsome as Mr. Johnson, I''m not as powerful as him, but the only thing I canpare to him is my heart for you! He treats you like trash, I treat you like a princess, Nina, can you please turn your head and look at me?" "Well, you''re making a lot of noise! Get out of the way, I want a drink!" "No more drinks, Nina, I like you." The man held the woman''s face and kissed her directly. The woman whimpered twice, weakly allowing the man to kiss her. Grace lingered for a moment, a hint of surprise shing in her eyes. The man is Harry. And the woman, it seems, is Lu Austin''s sister, Nina. So Harry likes Nina? Or is it the kind of thing you can''t ask for? Grace''s eyes shed with interest, just as if she had read a gossip. When she arrived outside a VIP room, she straightened her clothes and pushed the door in. The room was dimly lit and the stirring sound of music echoed through the air, apanied by the sound of women''sughter and men''s flirting. Grace''s eyesnded on the two women and one man on the couch, and instantly a nameless fire shed in her eyes. "Marcus, I need to talk to you, so get them out of here." Marcus''s shirt was wide open, and when he saw that it was Grace who had entered, the smile on his face was slightly curtailed. He patted the two coolly dressed women, "You guys go out first." After the two women went out, he poured a sip of wine into his mouth and saidzily, "Miss Harper, why do you have time toe to me today?" Grace walked over to him and sat down with a resigned look on her face, "Marcus, are you really going to keep ignoring me?" Marcus yed with his wine ss, his breath grim, "I''m too busy to care about you." During this time, several projects he was responsible for were cut off by Louis using various means. He was too busy cleaning up the mess to have time for this useless, stupid woman? "Marcus, I know you''re still mad, but I''ve got good news!" Grace said in a rush, "You don''t know, Louis took me back to the Johnson Manor and he''s going to marry me soon." Hearing this, Marcus snorted lightly and pushed her hand away with a disgusted look. "Grace, stop dreaming, Louis will marry you? You go to the 888 booth, he and Violet are partying!" He came to y when he just happened to see Louis a few people also came. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. People and Violet pair up, no Grace part. Grace froze and said in a rush, "Marcus, I''m telling you the truth, Louis will definitely marry me. You believe me, I will help you to annex The Johnson Group." "It doesn''t matter if Louis marries you or not, because what I want is to beat Louis!" Marcus'' face was filled with gloom, "But every n has failed. grace, how can you make me trust you when you''re so useless?" Grace is anxious and aggrieved, "Marcus, every time the n fails, is it my fault alone? Whenever I didn''t help you with your ns? What woman would be willing to be your pawn and spy without a name or a reputation? Grace''s eyes got red as she spoke. Marcus looked at her with a slightly chilly aura around him. He put his arm around her shoulders and softened his voice, "Okay, why are you still crying? Don''t cry now." This woman is still useful, and he is just whining and hanging her out to dry. "So do you still me me?" Grace asked, wiping tears from her eyes. "I''m not in a bad mood, that''s why my tone of voice is a bit heavier?" Marcus patted her hand and poured her a drink. Grace took the ss with a look of resignation on her face. Chapter 310 Chapter 310 Marcus took her into his arms and said, "Okay, I know you''re loyal to me, but there''s a projecting up and we''re definitelypeting with The Johnson Group. How can you think of a way to win this project for me?" "What''s the project?" Grace asked. "I''ve gotten word that Infinity Tech Company intends to expand its business footprint in the country. This redeem the reputation that I have lost in thepany." Marcus took a sip of wine and said slowly. Grace doesn''t know anything about medical programs, but she will take the side road. "So how about still stealing the ns like before?" "Can''t you use your head? Do you think Louis is a man who would fall again after what he did?" Marcus nced at her and said unkindly. Grace took a sip of wine, her brain constantly running. This time, she couldn''t let Marcus look down on her again. She must have done it for him. Grace gripped her ss tightly as something shed through her mind. "Marcus, I''ve got an idea!" "Oh? Tell me about it!" "......" Pce Hotel. Presidential Suite. Louis carefully put a drunken Violet to bed. Violet grunted lightly twice and rolled over, muttering and tugging at her clothes. "So hot, so thirsty." The woman''s small face was scarlet, and her long, slender fingers ripped open the buttons of her shirt to reveal the white fullness. Slightly undting, extraordinarily provocative. Louis'' eyebrows were deep and his eyes unconsciously swept past her breasts and all the way down. He is so crazy! Why did you bring her to the hotel? Louis closed his eyes, suppressing his inner turmoil, heard her muttering, and turned to get him water. "Get up, drink some water and go back to sleep." Violet was helped to her feet, she licked her slightly dry lips and took the ss of water and drank it in one gulp. The woman in her arms emits a fragrance that is unique to her, with a little bit of alcohol, inviting the imagination. Louis lowered his eyes, looked at her curly eyshes, red lips, thinking of the intimate contact he had with her, and suddenly felt his mouth go dry. "Well, it''s so hot and sleepy, I''m going to sleep." Violet copsed into bed in a daze. Louis was yanked by her and flung himself on top of her at once. His throat knot rolled slightly, looking at the woman''s slightly drunken face, his voice was dark, "Violet, how hard-hearted are you? I''ve been so good to you, why do you refuse to remarry me?" Violet opened her misty eyes slightly and looked at Louis for half a day, like she was identifying who he was. Half a minuteter, she brushed her lips and said with a big tongue, "Because I hate being a third party! I promised Grace that I would stay away from you. I can''t ruin other people''s rtionships, I can''t let myself be a bad woman''s!" She promised Grace? And because of that, she rubs his heart under her feet? Louis narrowed his dark eyes and stared fixedly at Violet. At that moment, the cell phone in her bag rang. Violet frowned, muttered, and covered her ears with some impatience. Like a child. Louisughed a little and got up to get her phone, ready to turn it off for her. The caller ID is Brooklyn. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Louis'' brow furrowed slightly and his breath sank around him. How did she get in touch with Brooklyn again? Chapter 311 Chapter 311 Louis stared at his phone, his thin lips pursed. I was about to answer it when the music came to a screeching halt. The phone stopped. Louis frowned and saw several missed calls on Violet''s phone. It''s all from Brooklyn. That''s when the ding came in and a message came in. "Helena, are you all right? Did you get your sister-inw''s relics?the Williams didn''t give you a hard C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. time, did he?" If you can''t get through on the phone, send a message. That''s a strong connection! Louis'' thin lips are lightly pursed and his breath is slightly sunken. I heard from Austin''s bodyguard that Brooklyn was also in Wildcross Town yesterday. The two men''s mothers are still old acquaintances. They even joked that if they had children in the future, they would have to be inws. And this afternoon, Brooklyn apanied Violet to the Williams Manor again! This woman, refusing to remarry herself, is it because she has a next family? Louis'' jaw is slightly tense, and his thin red lips spill out a soft mockery. At that moment, his own cell phone rang. Louis put Violet''s phone down and pulled out his own. It was Dominic on the phone. The aura around Louis is slightly converged. "Hello?" "Brother, my sister and I have gotten off the ne. Where are you?" Dominic and Summer are back in the country. Louis'' lips hooked slightly, lifting his wristwatch to look at the time, "You guyse straight to the Pce Hotel, I''ll get you a room." "Okay, I''ll see youter." After hanging up the phone, Louis was about to turn around when a rustling sound came from behind him. Immediately after, his waist was heavy, and the woman''s white root-like arms wrapped around. Louis'' body shook when he heard the woman''s delicate voice ring out. "You, you are so noisy? Come on, get out, don''t interfere with my sleep." This woman, drunk is not at all peaceful. Louis turned around and looked down at Violet. The woman beamed her red lips, seemingly awake, and was about to push him out the door. The buttons on her chest were ripped open twice, revealing a wonderful view. Louis''s eyes darkened and he took her by the slender waist and brought it towards himself. "You''re kicking me out? Who do you want to keep youpany, Brooklyn?" Inexplicably, the heart is sour, not taste. "Brooklyn? Hey, he''s nice! Won''t give me a face. Unlike my ex-husband, who has an ice face all day, it''s scary." Violet muttered with her head cocked in confusion and drunken eyes. He''s an ice cube face? In her mind, is this the impression he gives her? Louis stared at Violet''s moist red lips, the corners of his mouth curved into a cold arc. "Really? I see you hate your ex-husband?" So in her memory, he was an emotionless ice face? Has she forgotten how much he has helped her? This ungrateful woman! "Not really! He is cold, but ......" Violet burped and looked torn, like she was thinking about something. Louis wrapped his arms around her tightly and asked in a deep voice, "But what?" "I can''t like his, he''s too much trouble. Well, I''m so tired and sleepy, you get out, I''m going to sleep." Violet yawned, as if she had finished wrestling with her inner thoughts, and muttered and pushed Louis''s chest. Louis'' thin lips were pursed, his long fingers cupped her small chin, and he suddenly pecked her red lips. "Can''t like him? So, in fact, you like him in your heart, right?" Violet looked at Louis with dazed eyes. Halfway through the day, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Louis back on the lips. The woman''s eyes are moist, drunken like a dumb bunny, so people can''t help but want to bully hard. Louis stared straight at her for two seconds, then picked her up in his arms and took a big step toward the bed. Is he too much trouble? He wanted her to get into big trouble! "Violet, be good and I''ll make you happy." "......" Chapter 312 Chapter 312 The lights went out. The breeze blew up a corner of the screen window, when the sky of a clear moon shining out of the Early the next morning. the Williams Manor. Miller, who received the call from the police, was in dismay. What did he hear? Alisha was arrested by the police for threatening and forcing a male publicist to have sex with her? Real or Fake! Miller was furious and got dressed, ready to go to the police station to find out what was going on. "Dad, where are you going this early in the morning?" Nancy yawned as she came out of the bedroom and saw Miller heading out with an angry look on his face and asked in a hurry. "I''m going to the police station, the police called and said your mother called a male prostitute and threatened people to have sex with her!" Miller sank his face and gritted his teeth. "Huh? How can that be? My mom she stayed up all night?" Nancy''s eyes widened in surprise. "She said she went to talk to Buddy about Violet''s weddingst night and just didn''te home all night." Miller grimaced and walked toward the door. "Dad, wait for me, I''ll change my clothes and go with you." Nancy hurriedly went back to her room to change her clothes. The two went out the door and had the driver drive them straight to the police station. After some questioning, it was determined that Alisha forced the male publicist to have sex with her. Miller was so angry that he turned blue and walked away. "Dad, don''t get mad yet, just bail my mom out." Nancy pulled Miller back in a hurry. Miller waved him off: "What''s the point of bailing? This disgraceful bitch has made me lose face! Why don''t you just don''te out!" "Dad, Mom is not that kind of person, don''t you go!" Nancy tried to call out to Miller, but Miller was already striding away. The surrounding police officers were looking at her with a look of gossip. Nancy also felt humiliated and wanted to walk away as well. But it was her own mother who was being held, so she had to pay the fine and prepare to get Alisha out on bail first. However, the police officer told her that paying the fine was not enough. Alisha will be detained for another fifteen days. Nancy got anxious, thought about it, and hastily asked the officer for her mother''s cell phone, flipped out Rosalie''s number and called. The mother must have been set up for what happenedst night. And the person who set her up was definitely Violet. All said and done, to rectify the matter of Violet, and Rosalie can not be unconnected. For now, she had to get Rosalie to fish out her mother first. "Hello, Mrs. Williams, why are you calling me this early in the morning?" "Mrs. Johnson, it''s Nancy, please do something to save my mom ......" Outside. Miller grimaced and prepared to go back. At that moment, there were suddenly countless reportersing from four hundred and eighty Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. directions, surrounding Miller. "It''s Mr. Williams, isn''t it? Your wife Alisha is calling male prostitutes in the clubhouse behind your back." "Mr. Williams, now that the video of your wife ying with a male publicist at the club is going around, are you going to turn a blind eye and pretend it''s not happening?" "Whatever? Wouldn''t that be head over heels green?" "......" Numerous long guns were aimed at him, and one sharp question after another followed. Miller''s face changed for a while, angry with a fishy sweetness in the throat, poof spit out a mouthful of blood. The reporters took a step back, but still gathered around him, waiting for his answer. Miller wiped the blood stain from the corner of his mouth and showed his teeth. Alisha, that old bitch, made him lose face! He wants to divorce her! "Mr. Williams, don''t go! When you had money and abandoned your wife and daughter, but now you are cuckolded, have you ever regretted?" "Mr. Williams, why did your ex-wife''s daughter break off the rtionship with you?" "Mr. Williams, is it true that someone on the Inte said you sold your daughter for glory?" "Mr. Williams, please answer our words." "......" Miller tried to leave but was surrounded by the group and could not move. He was so angry that his eyelids rolled upwards for a while. At this point, Nancy finally bailed Alisha out, and the male publicists agreed to settle the matter privately and not pursue Alisha any further. Chapter 313 Chapter 313 Alisha was locked up overnight, pimply and in a state of disarray. She wrapped her coat tightly and was helped by Nancy to walk outside. When she saw Miller surrounded by reporters, she hurriedly hung her head down. "Daughter, there are reporters around, let''s get out of here." She knows she''s embarrassed and doesn''t want to be targeted by reporters. Nancy, also afraid of being ugly, helped Alisha sneak to the side. Miller, surrounded by reporters, but with a sharp eye, spotted Alisha''s mother and daughter and shouted in anger. "Alisha, stop right there!" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Alisha was on her feet and cowered beside Nancy with a look of panic. Miller covers his chest and strides over to Alisha, looking at her steadily. Alisha, with a sheepish look on her face, called out periodically, "Miller." Snap! Miller gives Alisha a hard p on the wrist. Alisha let out an ahhh and was hit with a stumble, almost falling over. "Mom!" Nancy was startled and looked at Miller, "Dad, why are you hitting Mom?" "This harmful bitch, I pped her lightly, I want to divorce her!" Miller finished, turned around and walked away. "Miller, you hit me and want to divorce me? Do you have no conscience? Stop right there and tell me the truth!" Half of Alisha''s face swelled up, and her already wretched appearance became even more wretched. The reporters watched the scene and surrounded her. "Mrs. Williams, did you go to the clubhouse and call a male prostitute because Mr. Xia couldn''t satisfy you?" "Mrs. Williams, I don''t suppose this is the first time you''ve ordered a male publicist at a club?" "......" Listening to the reporters, Alisha was so ashamed and annoyed that she almost broke her fine teeth. "I didn''t y male publicist, I was set up!" "Mrs. Williams, who set you up?" Who framed her? Violet, of course! But she can''t tell! I don''t think we should tell everyone that she had to sell Violet to a domestic violence man for a bride price and was set up instead! This dumb loss, she will eat it! Alisha and Nancy managed to get away from the mob of reporters and returned home. Miller was sitting on the sofa, his face blue, being served medicine by a servant. When she saw Alisha enter, she said angrily, "How dare you enter the door and get out of here!" Alisha wrapped her dress tighter, her eyes filled with tears of shame and anger. "Dad, can you just calm down? Mom is a victim, too." Nancy had calmed down, she helped Wu Hanfang to sit down and spoke. "She''s a victim? Can it be that someone else forced her to do that ugly thing?" Miller gave Alisha a vicious re of disgust. "Miller, why don''t you believe me? I''m really being set up." Alisha wiped her tears with a look of hatred, "It was Violet and Buddy who were behind this. If you don''t believe me, I''m going to call Buddy and see what he says!" Off all night, she thought about it left and right, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that these two people made the ghost. I just don''t know why Buddy is helping Violet design her. She had to ask for rification anyhow. Alisha took out her cell phone, dialed Buddy, and put him on speakerphone. The phone was picked up after two rings. Chapter 314 Chapter 314 "Hello?" "Mr. Reynolds, what happenedst night, did you set me up? You''ve put me in so much pain!" Alisha shouted excitedly. "Mrs. Williams, who is harming whom? You introduced Louis'' woman to me, do you think my life is too long?" Buddy didn''t deny it either and asked a rhetorical question. "What Louis'' woman, Mr. Reynolds, that Violet is just Louis'' ex-wife, what are you afraid of?" Alisha gasped. "Oh, Mrs. Williams, you''re so confused, I''ve already confirmed that Louis is still pursuing Violet, aren''t you sending me to my death? I''m not the one who wants to fix you, but Violet." Buddy hung up the phone after he finished. Alisha hated the phone so much that she threw it hard on the couch. "Violet again! This little bitch, I hate to get her killed!" Now that she''s the butt of jokes all over town, she won''t be able to join the upper echelons of society. It''s all Violet''s fault! "Dad, did you hear that? Mom was set up by Violet, and she was a victim." Nancy looked over at the stern-faced Miller and put in a good word for Alisha. Miller grimaced, "She deserved it! Still remembering what happened in Wildcross Town? No more Evie, but now she wants to hit on Violet? Do you think Violet is still the same Violet as before? Didn''t you see how hard she was when she had my arm removed? You stupid, stupid bitch, you''ll get a divorce tomorrow!" Hearing this, Alisha burst into tears. "Miller, I''ve suffered so much, and you still want to divorce me? Who am I doing all these things for? It''s just to take revenge for you? How can you be so heartless!" "Yes, Dad, Mom fell for someone else to take it out for you, and now we should be on the same page! If you divorce Mom, won''t that be a pain in the ass for the rtives?" Nancy suppressed her inner depression and advised in a timely manner. Miller grunted, "So I have to wear a cuckold all day long for people outside tough at?" "Dad, Mom has been dedicated to this family for so many years, no credit but also hard work ah. For the sake that she was hurt for you, you can forgive her! After a while, no one will say anything." Nancy saw that Miller''s tone was not as firm as it had been at the beginning, and again persuaded. Miller still has a cold face, see Alisha wiping tears, a look of aggression, did not say anything, coldly grunted upstairs. "Mom, it''s up to you how to coax Dad into doing it next." Nancy looked to Alisha and said. Alisha wiped away her tears, a sh of hate in her eyes. "I know, your father is angry right now, I can hold him. I just hate Violet right now! This little bitch has made me theughing stock of the city, I really want to get her killed!" The same coldness shed in Nancy''s eyes. Violet has messed up her family and she''s got a grudge! "Daughter, you mean to tell me that you called Mrs. Johnson for help? She was the one who got the male publicists to drop the charges and get me out?" Alisha slowly calmed down and opened her mouth to ask. "Yes." Nancy nodded, "I told her that you were locked up for doing her work. She''s smart, and she certainly Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. didn''t want to get into trouble on this windfall, so she stepped in and fished you out." "I do work for her, or I wouldn''t be able to mess with Violet." Alisha sneered, "So, I have to use her hand to fix Violet!" At that moment, her cell phone rang. Alisha picked it up and nced at it, "Speak of the devil." It was Rosalie on the phone. Alisha took a deep breath and picked up the phone. "Mrs. Johnson." "Mrs. Williams, you''re out, aren''t you?" "Yes, thanks to Mrs. Johnson foring to the rescue." Alisha sniffled, with a sob in her voice. "Tell me, what''s going on here? Didn''t you say you got Violet? Did she turn the tables on you again?" Rosalie asked. "Yes, Mrs. Johnson, that Violet is really bad, she deliberately confused me and made me think that it was done. I didn''t realize she set up a trap for me to follow, making me theughing stock of the whole town." Alisha cried, "Mrs. Johnson, I can''t take this, you have to take it out for me!" Chapter 315 Chapter 315 Hearing this, Rosalie said, "What can I do to make me take it out for you?" "Mrs. Johnson, you are The hostess of Johnson Family, and it is impossible to keep The Johnson Family in order for so many years without a little means." Alisha patted a horse''s back, and then the conversation turned, "And I also listened to your words to end up in such a situation, you do not help me a hand, will not let me chill? How can I help you in the future?" This is half apliment, half a threat. Rosalie sneered, "Mrs. Williams, you''re both quite threatening, mother and daughter?" "Mrs. Johnson, don''t get me wrong, why would I threaten you? I am still waiting for you to promote the Williams family into the upper ss circle." Alisha hastened to curry favor. Rosalie snorted, "Mrs. Williams, I can introduce you to someone who you can get to help you fix Violet. but you need to get one thing clear, I''m not afraid of what you''ll say to the outside world, I''m just in disgusted with Violet." "Yes, yes, Mrs. Johnson, who is this person you''re introducing me to?" Alisha was busy answering the question. "His name is Greyson, he specializes in working for rich people, you just pay the money in ce, he will do what you want." Listening to Rosalie''s introduction, Alisha understood that people like Greyson are knives in the hands of the rich, specializing in things that are not on the table. "Okay, Mrs. Johnson, I''ll take notes." Alisha hung up the phone. Nancy, who was standing by, had her ears open and took in the conversation between the two. "Mom, this Greyson must not be a good guy, right?" Alisha''s mouth curved up in a cold arc, "What rich person doesn''t have a little tact? Your mother also has her own power, but I just want to pull Rosalie into the water, or she''s sitting on the sidelines? It''s not that good." It was Rosalie who was behind her current situation. How could she possibly let her stay out of it? ...... Pce Hotel. Violet is awake. She looked at the unfamiliar ceiling above her head and felt nothing but a splitting headache. So thirsty. Head is so swollen. Where is this? Violet got up, rubbed her temples and looked around, then realized she was in a hotel. The memory slowly returned, Violet''s hand movements a meal, frowning tightly. She remembers treating herself to dinner at the Imperial Clubst night and proceeding to watch a good show. And then ...... The memory is a little fuzzy, she seemed to have drunk too much, then was helped out of Imperial Club by Louis. Louis! Some shes in his mind, Violet subconsciously looked at his own naked body, could not help but suck back a breath. No way! Does it mean that Louis brought her to the roomst night? It''s really a drinking mistake! Violet pped her forehead with a look of chagrin. How could she have something with Louis again? What can we do now? Violet was so depressed that her eyes nced at the bed without thinking, and saw a ss of water and a note pad sitting by the bed. "I am the man fromst night, contact information has been saved on your phone, I can be responsible for you if needed." Violet: "......" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. What is the meaning of this sticky note? Does it mean that the man who slept with herst night is not Louis yet? Violet was so confused, she froze for two seconds and hurriedly took her phone to check it. There is a stranger''s WeChat on the phone. Violet clicked on it and this WeChat person named Hendrix sent a message: I''m Hendrix, your man fromst night. Not Louis'' contact information! She spent another night with a strangerst night! Violet gripped the phone tightly and just wanted to p herself hard. How horny is she? How can I spend the night with a stranger without knowing? With a chagrined look on her face, Violet scratched her hair and got out of bed first to wash up. Looking at herself in the mirror, Violet still can''t get back to her senses. How did she sleep with a strangerst night? How did she get to the hotel? Chapter 316 Chapter 316 Didn''t Louis bring her here? Violet closed her eyes, desperately trying to remember. But her head was a muddle, leaving herpletely clueless. When she finished washing up, she grabbed her bag and left the suite. What happenedst night was so bizarre, did she have to go figure it out? Violet was in a delirious mood when the door across the room opened and the figure of Louis appeared in the doorway. The man was wearing a white shirt and ck pants. Still the usual reserve and arrogance. Why is he in the room across the hall? Violet stared at Louis with wide, dumbfounded eyes and twitched her lips. "You ......" "Louis, are you leaving?" Behind Louis appeared a yawning woman with her hair down, as if she had just woken up. Violet''s wide-eyed eyes widened even more. Just now she was thinking that the stranger she spent the night with might be Louis? He was the one who staged the story and contacted himself under an alias. But now, Louis had a room with another womanst night! So the person who was in her roomst night couldn''t have been Louis! Louis looked at the dumbfounded woman, his eyes moved and a hint of interest shed in his eyes. "Good morning, Violet, what did you want to talk to me about?" The man hooked his lips and looked in a rather good mood. Violet looked back, swallowed and swallowed the unknown emotion, "It''s nothing. I really didn''t expect that Mr. Johnson you are such a person!" Scum! How dare you open a room with another woman behind Grace''s back! So all men are the same! Louis is no exception! Violet heart can not say whether it is more disappointed, or more difficult, finished and left quickly. Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Violet''s fleeing figure, his eyes fixed. "Louis, that''s your ex-wife, right? Aren''t you going to exin? She seems to have misunderstood." Summer poked her head in the direction of the elevator with an innocent look on her face. "No need for that, you and Dominic go to bed early." Louis said, and then took off in stride. Dominic and Summer stayed at the Pce Hotel in the middle of the night. After he left Violet''s room, he came to their room and talked to them until now. I didn''t expect to be bumped into by Violet. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. If she misunderstands, so be it. Anyway, from today onwards, he will approach her with a brand new identity! Violet hurried downstairs and came to the front desk to check out. "Hello, ma''am, your room charge has been settled." The receptionist said politely. Violet froze and asked, "Excuse me, who owns my room?" "Your room is registered in your name." Her name? Did she drink too much and grabbed a random guy at Imperial Club and came to the Pce Hotel to get a room? Violet was speechless, "So who settled the bill?" "Sorry ma''am, I just changed shifts and wasn''t quite sure." The receptionist had an apologetic face. Violet smiled sarcastically and turned to leave. I''m so depressed, who did she bring to the room? Back at Josie''s apartment, no one was home. Violet sat on the couch for a moment, thought about it, flipped out the stranger''s number, and edited a text message over. "I don''t care who you are, you''re an adult, let''s turn the page on yesterday." On the other end of the spectrum, Louis had just arrived at The Johnson Group''s President''s Office and waspletely refreshed. Hearing a beeping sound from the drawer, he pulled it open and pulled a cell phone out of it. The number he left for Violet was the number he used to start abroad. After so many years of not using it, I never thought it woulde in handy. Chapter 317 Chapter 317 "Miss Elliott, you''re going to put me to sleep and pretend nothing happened? I''m afraid that''s not very nice?" Louis stared at the message from Violet and returned it with interest. Violet in the apartment took a look at it, and suddenly her eyebrows knitted. "You know me? What do you want?" Did this man named Hendrix know her? "You''re a famous makeup artist, we slept together, and I want to be responsible for you. Or, you''re responsible for me!" Violet: "......" Did she run into a scoundrel? Violet''s red lips pursed slightly, "Who are you anyway? Are you the male publicist of Imperial Club?" Male PR? She imagined herself as a male publicist? Louis hooked his lips and continued typing, "Don''t worry, I''m not that dirty, just an ordinary man." "Then how did you end up with me ......st night," Violet asked, her brow knitted. "Because you drank too much and treated me like a male publicist." Violet: "......" So, she got too excited watching the show yesterday and got carried away? Then why don''t Josie and the others pull themselves together a bit? Violet stroked her forehead, thought about it, and transferred a sum of money over. "Sorry, I drank too muchst night. Take this money as your hard-earned money, and don''t contact me again." Louis looked at Violet''s turned 2888 and the curvature of his mouth increased. It''s not a bad feeling to be hit by a woman with money for the first time! However, no contact is impossible! Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Mr. Johnson, it''s time to get ready for the meeting." Harry knocked on the door and saw Louis staring at a cell phone and smiling, thinking he had looked away. What is the situation? Has the days of low pressure suddenly unsealed? Who rescued him! It must be Violet! Louis did not receive the transfer, but resumed his usual coolness and threw the phone into the drawer. Violet waited left and right, did not wait for Louis''s reply, some annoyed and threw the phone aside. Drinking is a mistake! From now on, she will never drink again! Violet slumped on the couch, half-heartedly, and picked up her cell phone to call Josie. Where did Josie gost night? Why did you leave her alone? It doesn''t make sense! The phone rang twice and was answered. "Violet, where are you?" Josie''s giggling voice came over the current. "I''m at home." "Huh? Why are you at home? Didn''t something happen between you and Mr. Johnsonst night?" Josie asked in surprise. Violet looked up at the sky, "Josie, where did you gost night? Why did you leave me alone?" "Last night Austin and I saw that you and Mr. Johnson were still drinking, and I was afraid Erin was going to sleep, so Austin and I took Erin away first ah." Josie paused and probed, "Violet, did you and Mr. Johnson really not have any follow-upst night?" There is a follow-up. But not with Louis. Violet bellyached and smiled dryly, "What are you thinking about, where''s Erin? Did you send her to kindergarten?" "Yeah, Austin just drove Erin off to kindergarten." "Oh, you slept at Mr. Evison''sst night?" Violet digressed and teased. Chapter 318 Chapter 318 "Ahem, and Erin''s okay?" Josie shot back ufortably. Violetughed lightly, "Well, I''m going to be busy, I''ll be back tonight." "Good." Hanging up the phone, Violet let out a long breath and scratched her brow. What happenedst night, she didn''t want Josie to know. It''s so humiliating. On the other end of the phone, Austin drove on, looked at Josie on the passenger side and asked, "What, Helena wasn''t with Louisst night?" "No! Looks like that brother of yours is quite the decent guy!" Josie shot back. Austin raised an eyebrow and didn''t make a sound. The brother of the family can still sit in the same situation yesterday? Why is he so unbelieving? Later he must be properly interrogated. The Johnson Group. Conference room. After the departments did their usual debriefing, they listened to Louis'' final instructions. Louis in the main seat swept his eyes across the circle, and his low, maic voice rang out. "The Johnson Group Medical has been developing moderately, and the next phase of our mission is to win the cooperation project with Infinity Tech Company. We hope that all departments will focus on making a detailed business n as soon as possible. Any questions?" Hearing this, an executiveughed and said, "Mr. Johnson, I heard that the head of Infinity Tech Company, Dominic, is your cousin, really young and talented! I think, with this rtionship in ce, we should have a better chance than otherpanies to take the cooperation." "Yes, yes, I think so too. With The Johnson Group''s reputation and your rtionship with Infinity Tech Company, we''ll be able to secure a partnership." Several executives chimed in. Louis swept around expressionlessly and was about to speak when Jasmine snorted lightly. "Is it just a small technologypany? Is it worthy of you to be so subservient? What a joke!" Isn''t it thepany owned by Louis'' grandfather''s family? These dog minions, do you want to kiss Louis'' ass like that? "A small technologypany? Do you know how much revenue this little techpany generates in a year? Miss Johnson, if you''re too idle, put more effort into your work so you don''t make a fool of yourself and bring thepany into disrepute." Louis'' cold, sharp eyes swept over to Jasmine and reprimanded her nonchntly. "You!" Jasmine knew Louis was talking about what happened at thest auction. She looked at the strange looks several executives were giving her, and her face alternated between green and white as she stared at Louis, unable to speak. "Is there anything else? If not, the meeting is adjourned." Louis spoke in a cold voice and got up to leave. Jasmine''s chest rose and fell, and she hatefully pushed back her chair and left on her high heels. Walking around the corner, she pulled out her cell phone to call Marcus. The phone beeps and Marcus, as usual, does not answer her calls. Jasmine was so angry that she wanted to drop her phone. Since thest auction, Marcus has ignored her. What should she do! Louis returned to the president''s office and had just sat down when Austin''s phone call came in. "Louis, did you have a good timest night?" Listening to his old friend''s teasing voice on the phone, Louis'' long, slender fingers tapped the desk. "Something to say." "Yo, such a serious book, huh?" Austin said, "Did you see the news? Alisha got bailed out of the police station. miller was so mad he spit blood and piled on the word that he was going to divorce her." Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly, "Alisha got out so quickly?" "Yes! I asked, and it was your stepmother who used her contacts to get the charges dropped." Rosalie used connections? It seems that this incident with Violet has nothing to do with this good stepmother of his. Louis sneered, "It seems that because of Jasmine''s scandal at the auction, Rosalie med it on the Violet sisters, and that''s why she and Alisha are working together to give the Violet sisters a good look." "I think so. louis, should we go to the police station and put pressure on Alisha to be put back in?" C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Austin asked. "No. If we go deeper into this matter, we can''t guarantee that we will find out that Violet paid off these male publicists." Louis'' body slowly leaned back in his chair and smiled yfully, "Didn''t Miller wear a cuckold? How about giving him a chance to get back at him!" Chapter 319 Chapter 319 Hearing Louis'' words, Austinughed. "Good idea Louis, you''re still secretly helping your ex-wife out! Sost night, you two ......" "Last night, Dominic and Summer came back home and I spent the night talking to them." Louis'' eyes moved slightly and his thin lips spat out a sentence. Austin can''t be told the truth or Josie will know. Most of all, he didn''t want to beughed at. Because he took Austin''s words to heart. It was he who reminded himself to approach Violet with a different identity. "What? Louis, do you have to be such a decent guy? No wonder when Josie asked where Violet was this morning, Violet said she was home." Austin was pleasantly surprised. Louis'' dark eyes narrowed, "Is that what she said?" "Yes! Isn''t she home?" "If she says so, so be it." Louis went with the flow. "Well, why do I get the feeling that you two have something fishy going on?" "Go get a woman." "Huh?" "The Miller thing." Louis hung up the phone after he finished. The woman who has schemed against him always has to pay the price. As for his stepmother, he will settle some scores with her slowly! Louis''s dark, deep eyes had the slightest hint of a cold ghost. A few momentster, he thought of something, pulled open the drawer and took out the phone. Tap on Violet''s WeChat, the transfer is still lying quietly inside. She didn''t send another message over. Won''t you ask him why he doesn''t charge for it? You really don''t want to contact yourself anymore? Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Louis hooked the corners of his mouth and flipped out a few photos. It''s a shot he took of her in the hotel suite as she slept. A bit of a sleeping beauty look. Louis'' long, slender fingers rubbed gently, his eyebrows soft. A knock on the door sounded and someone pushed in. "Louis." It''s Grace. The smile between Louis'' eyebrows converged and he put the phone into the drawer without moving. "Something?" Grace handed a document to his desk. "Manager Jacob is a little busy, so I''m going to turn in this month''s report for him." She''s got to show up at the group more often. Otherwise, it is easy to have no presence. Louis took the file and flipped through it and put it aside. "Anything else?" Grace looked at Louis'' cold face and her eyes shed slightly. "Louis, I looked at the calendar and found that there is an auspicious day for marriage next week for the two of us ......" Not since thest time he took her to the Johnson Manor. Is he going to marry himself back or not? Louis'' hands moved and raised his eyes to look at Grace. "Grace, as I said, you are Luka''s real mother, and I will give you thepensation you deserve and raise Luka together with you. But other than that, I won''t give you any promises." Hearing this, the smile on Grace''s face froze. "Louis, obviously you took me to the Johnson Manor that day, didn''t you want to get married to?" "I''m sorry, I have no such thoughts." Admittedly, he did have thoughts of marrying Grace and just living out his life after his self-esteem was bruised. But when he faced Violet again, he knew exactly who it was he wanted to marry. Thenter, something happened to Violet and he understood his heart better. He couldn''t force himself to live with a woman he didn''t love. I can only say sorry to Grace. "Louis, why? Did I do something wrong?" Grace forcefully forced out two tears and said in aggravation. Chapter 320 Chapter 320 Louis lowered his eyes and continued to work, "You''re very nice, but I''m not attracted to you. Is there anything else? If not, get out." "Louis ......" "Get out and close the door behind you." Louis'' voice sank, Grace moved her lips, and a cold aura shed in her eyes. The good thing is that she has found a way to help Marcus. It doesn''t matter if I marry Louis or not! Louis refused to marry her, but it must be because of Violet again. This Violet, really good tactics. The day she is there, she poses a danger to herself. Sooner orter, I will get rid of her! ...... RW Styling Studio. Violet is ready to go to Sky Shopping Mall to sign the contract. When I ran into Natalie head-on, I saw her staring at herself with a sultry look on her face. A sultry look? Violet winked and greeted her with a smile. "Natalie, did you y toote yesterday? Why do you look so listless?" Natalie stared at Violet, "Miss Helena,st night, I saw everything, you and ......" "Natalie." Violet, startled, nced around and hastily pulled Natalie to a deserted corner. "Natalie,st night, did you see me leave the Imperial Club with a man and go to the Pce Hotel?" Did Natalie see the man she was withst night? Who is he? What does it look like? Natalie froze and looked at Violet and nodded. Violet hurriedly asked, "So did you get a good look at him? Was it an acquaintance I know?" Natalie''s eyes shed and she asked tentatively, "Miss Helena, don''t you know who you went to the Pce Hotel with?" Doesn''t she know that Louis took her away? "I was so drunkst night, I can''t remember at all." Violet said with some chagrin. Natalie''s eyes twitched, "Miss Helena, it was too far away and I didn''t get a good look at the guy, it seemed a little ugly and old, I thought it was someone you knew." A little ugly? Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Maybe it''s still an old man! Violet was speechless and stroked her forehead. She pulled Natalie and smiled sarcastically, "Natalie, can you keep what happenedst night a secret for me? Don''t tell anyone, okay?" It''s so humiliating. She just wanted to hurry up and turn the page. "Okay, Miss Helena, I''ll keep your secret, it''s between us. Here, pull the hook." Natalie''s eyes lit up and she stuck out her pinky. Violetughed dryly and matched Natalie''s hooking gesture. "Then I''ll go and get busy, you get busy too." "Okay, Miss Helena, you drive a little slower on the road." "Good." Violet turned to go downstairs, and Natalie touched her little finger with a sh of fascination in her eyes. They both have the first secret now! She will guard it with her heart! Mall. "Sorry Miss Elliott, the empty counter you wanted has just been rented out, if you still want to rent a counter at Sky Shopping Mall, you''ll have to wait for the ST counter contract to expire." Manager Hamilton of the mall said with a regretful face. Violet was stunned, "Manager Hamilton, didn''t we have a deal? Howe the empty counter is rented to someone else so soon?" "Miss Elliott ah, we only agreed verbally, the mall is open for one day, I can''t wait for you all the time right?" Manager Hamiltonughed and said, "If you ask me, Miss Elliott, you should think about renting the ST counter. If you want to rent, then you''d better sign with me right away. Otherwise, you may not even have this counter soon." Mr. Johnson is really good to this ex-wife. Turning the corner to get her the best lot. Violet looked at Manager Hamilton''s meaningful grin and burst out, "Manager Hamilton, did Mr. Johnson put you up to this?" She''s no fool, and Manager Hamilton is so close to delivering the ST counter contract to her by talking like this. He couldn''t have done this if no one had given the word. Chapter 321 Chapter 321 "This, I didn''t say, you guessed it yourself." Manager Hamilton snorted and asked again, "Miss Elliott, that ST counter, do you want to rent it or not? If not, I''ll have to go through the renewal process with ST." Violet pursed her lips, "Manager Hamilton, you let me make a call first." She had to find Louis and ask him why he was doing this. Violet walked to the corner, took a deep breath, and dialed Louis. The phone was answered after two rings. The male voiceing from the current is the usual low and maic. "Hello?" "Mr. Johnson, you authorized Manager Hamilton of the mall to rent the ST counter to me, didn''t you?" Violet asked. On the other end of the phone, Louis stopped what he was doing and raised an eyebrow, "Yes." "Why?" "Because ...... wants to gag you." Violet: "......" She was all ready to try tomunicate with him again without hurting his pride. She didn''t want to take his favor. She can''t pay it back! But people are saying that they want to gag her? "Gag me, Mr. Johnson, what do you mean?" Violet''s eyes moved slightly, and her mind suddenly shed back to a scene she saw in the hotel this morning. At once, it dawned on her. "Oh, I see, you want me to keep your morning secret for you, right?" Louis: "......" This woman, on the contrary, can associate. His intention was just to feel that she was already his woman, so anything, she deserved the best. I didn''t think she would think of anything else. Since she wants to think that way, let her be. The corners of Louis'' mouth ticked lightly, "Did anything happen this morning?" "Mr. Johnson, don''t worry, I don''t like to meddle in other people''s personal affairs. No matter how scummy you are, I won''t ruin your image in Luka''s mind." Violet understands that Louis is taking the counter as a bribe and epts it openly. "I g?" Louis couldn''t help but snort lightly. Are you still not scum? With Grace, and also with other women screwing seven or eight. Violet sighed aloud in her heart, but said with her mouth, "Mr. Johnson, the benevolent is the wise. Then you get busy, I''ll talk to Manager Hamilton about the contract." After saying that, she hung up the phone and walked towards Manager Hamilton. On the other end of the phone, Louis looked at the phone screen and his brow sank slightly. In order to get close to her, he actually branded himself as a scum image? Is it worth it? The phone rings again. Louis returned to his senses, looked at the caller ID, and picked up the phone. "Summer." "Louis, Dominic has eaten something and is throwing up and having diarrhea, and I''m taking him to the hospital." "What? I''ll be right there." Louis'' eyebrows knitted together and he got up in a hurry, grabbed his jacket and left in stride. Mall. Violet signed the lease with Manager Hamilton and breathed a long sigh of relief. What a stroke of luck for her. I can''t believe I was able to get Louis to bribe himself. She couldn''t tell what she felt, but she shook off those troubling thoughts and drove to the hospital. Her and David''s gic match report should be out today. Right away she will know if her real father is the Bergen. Coming to the hospital''s testing department, she picked up the report. With excitement, she busily opened the report. A sh of disappointment crossed her eyes when she saw what was on it. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. She was overthinking it! She is not rted to David by blood! Chapter 322 Chapter 322 She''s not the Bergen! Violet fixedly looked at the report sheet in her hand for a long time, and slowly put the sheet away. Look at her, she''s so suspicious all day, she doesn''t know what she''s doing! Previously suspected that his daughter was Louis'' daughter. Now it is spected that he and David are brother and sister. Don''t be so boring! Violet shook her head and took the report card out of the hospital. When I came to the lobby on the first floor, I met a person head-on. "Helena." "Brooklyn." Violet saw that it was Brooklyn and perked up. "Helena, are you okay? I called and messaged you yesterday and you never answered." Brooklyn looked at Violet and said. Violet froze, picked up her phone and flipped through it, but didn''t see Brooklyn''s phone number or message. Did the strange man delete Brooklyn''s calls and messages? What right does he have to do that? It is really annoying to the extreme. Violet cursed twice in her heart, gathered her thoughts and looked at Brooklyn. "Sorry, I was drunk yesterday, so I didn''t see it. The what, you''re at the hospital, is Auntie Blossom okay?" Violet changed the subject and Brooklyn said, "It''s nothing serious, my mom has an old illness and her blood pressure only shot up yesterday when she was deliberately provoked by a gang of punks." At that, Violet couldn''t help but ask, "How did some jerk go and pick on Auntie Blossom?" "I checked, those punks were henchmen raised by a contractor named Buddy, and for some reason they ran off to harass my mom." Brooklyn''s face was a little cold. Once Violet heard it was one of Buddy''s people, her mind was made up. "Brooklyn, I''m sorry, it''s probably because of me, something happened a little bit yesterday ......" Violet told Brooklyn about what happened yesterday. It seems that Alisha asked Buddy to find someone to harass Brooklyn''s mother in order to get rid of her. This Alisha, what a meanie. Brooklyn''s face got a little colder as he listened to Violet''s exnation. "So that''s how it is. I saw the news today, Helena, and you kind of disguised it for my mother." "I still have to say I''m sorry to you guys for bringing Auntie Blossom down." Violet looked apologetic. Brooklyn hooked her lips, "Helena, don''t say sorry, why don''t youe up with me to see my mom. She''s been asking to talk to you." Hearing this, Violet readily agreed. "Okay, you let me go ahead and do some shopping." "No, my mom doesn''tck anything." Brooklyn pulled Violet and got on the elevator. In the other elevator, Louis apanied Summer and Dominic out of it and caught a glimpse of the Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. two. Both have smiling eyebrows and look extraordinarily affectionate. Louis''s ck eyes narrowed and the aura around him was cold. "Brother, what are you looking at? That seems to be your ex-wife, right? Looking very intimate with the man next to her? Could that be her new boyfriend? Butst night, you were not with her ......" Dominic covered his still slightly ufortable stomach and looked curiously in Violet''s direction with a gossipy face. Others don''t know, he does. Last night his brother and his ex-wife were together. "What you shouldn''t know, you don''t need to know. Exercise more, don''t move and go to the hospital because of the water andnd." Louis spoke with a cold vocal line. Dominic nced at Summer and touched his nose, knowing that his brother was not in a very pretty mood. I don''t know if it was because he was in the hospital or because he saw his ex-wife with another man. "Louis, we don''t have to do any more bidding when we go back to China, right? Wouldn''t it be better to work directly with your The Johnson Group?" Summerughs and interrupts. Louis took a big step forward and said in a light voice: "No, it''s thepetition that makes the conversation and allows thepany to open up faster in the country." "But what if it''s the Scott Group that steals this partnership?" Dominic followed up with a question. Louis gave a sideways nce, his handsome face full of cold arrogance. "Do you think there is a better team in the country than The Johnson Group?" Dominic: "......" Cousin is still so self-absorbed! Chapter 323 Chapter 323 Ward. "Mom, look who''s here?" Brooklyn led Violet into the hospital room, smiling. "Hello Auntie Blossom, I''m sorry foring to see you empty-handed." Violet said with some embarrassment. "What kind of talk is that? Have a seat. brooklyn, go cut some fruit for helena." Blossom sat up from the bed with a grin on her face. "Okay." Brooklyn answered and went to wash the fruit. "Brooklyn, there''s no need." Violet was a little formal and looked to Blossom and said, "I''m sorry Auntie Blossom, you will be hospitalized because of me ......" Violet gave a brief ount of what happened. Blossom listened quietly and shook her head. "I knew Alisha when we were young and knew she was a very scheming woman. I remember she had a boyfriend when she wasn''t with Miller, and then broke up with him after she hooked up with him. I heard that the man even killed himself for her, which is ridiculous." Hearing this, Violet was speechless for a moment. The feelings between men and women are just so iprehensible, right? "But I have nothing to say to others, because everyone who lives has their own goals." Blossom sighed, "Back then, I didn''t listen to your mother either in pursuit of love, knowing full well that Brooklyn''s father had a fianc¨¦e, and imagining that one day he would break off the engagement and be with himself. In the end, I harmed Brooklyn, making him the bastard son of the Su family and being criticized to this day." Blossom looked despondent and apologetic. Violet looked over at Brooklyn who handed her the fruit, smiled at him, and thanked him. This is someone else''s family matter, and she doesn''t want toment on it much. It just sounds like her own mother was a very sensible woman who didn''t care to meddle in other people''s rtionships. But then why did she get pregnant unmarried and carry herself? Is the reason why she doesn''t say who the man who made her pregnant is because she can''t say it out loud? Who exactly is her father? C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. "Helena, I heard about you from Brooklyn." Blossom changed the subject, "Now you are single, right? My son doesn''t have a girlfriend either, so if it''s meant to be, I''d really like to fulfill your mother''s wish." Violet: "......" Is this an attempt to match her with Brooklyn? Violet was a little embarrassed and said silently, "Auntie Blossom, I have a daughter who is four years old, and I have no intention of getting married again in this life." She doesn''t want to attract any more peach blossoms. It''s good to be clear first. "You had a child? The father of that child is ......" Blossom looked surprised. "He passed away." Violet smiled, feeling herself getting better at telling this lie. "Ahem, Helena, what brings you to the hospital?" Brooklyn was also a little embarrassed and quickly digressed. "I''vee to confirm one thing, but I seem to have gotten it wrong." Violet looked at the time, smiled and got up, "Auntie Blossom, I have some business to attend to, I have to go now. You get some rest and I''ll see you some other time." "Okay, Brooklyn, you see Helena off for Mom." "Good." Brooklyn sends Violet out. "Helena, my mom has been worried about my life for the past few years, so she makes matchmaking when she catches a girl, so don''t think too much about it." Violet smiled, "I understand." "Then we are still friends, and you can contact me for anything you need." Brooklyn looked at Violet''s pretty face and regret shed in her eyes. I could tell that she had no idea about herself. She has a daughter? And does Louis know? "Thank you, Brooklyn, I''ll leave you to it then." Violet and Brooklyn said goodbye. The Johnson Group. Louis sat in the executive chair, thinking of the scene he saw in the hospital, he narrowed his eyes, his slender fingers tapping the desktop habitually. A few momentster, he took his phone out of the drawer and tapped on Violet''s avatar. "You like Brooklyn a lot?" At that end, Violet was just getting into her car and preparing to start it. When she heard a messagee in on her phone, she picked it up and took a look at it, and then her eyebrows knitted. It''s that strange man named Hendrix! Didn''t you tell him not to contact himself anymore? Boring as hell. Violet didn''t bother to pay attention to him, tossed her phone to the side and started the car. Louis waited for half a day, did not hear Violet''s reply, thin lips lightly pursed. Chapter 324 Chapter 324 "You''re my woman now, and I don''t like women with a few feet in the water, so I hope you''ll keep your distance from him." Not to talk to him? That''s not good! She is his woman now, and he has to remind her all the time to keep her peace. Louis waited a few more moments, but there was still no response on the phone. This woman, is she talking to Brooklyn right now? That''s why they don''t take care of themselves. Louis'' eyebrows sank slightly, and after thinking about it, he found two photos of Violet''s sleeping face and sent them over. On the other end, Violet listened to the constant sound of messages and unconsciously picked up her phone to take a look. When she saw the photo on her phone, she hastily hit the steering wheel and pulled the car over to the side of the road. This man, actually stole a picture of himself! What does he want? "Who are you? What exactly do you want? Are you trying to ckmail me?" At this moment, she just wants to p herself to death. How is it that you can lose your virtue after drinking? Tic. The man sent a transfer red packet over. "I don''t want to break thew, just remind you that you are my woman now and I hope you stay away from other men." Violet counted the six eights that the man turned and almostughed in exasperation. "This gentleman, are you nning to bag me?" The two slept overnight, he did not receive the two thousand eight hundred she gave, backhandedly transferred her eighty-eight thousand eight hundred. So generous! "Whatever you think, or, alternatively, you can be the one to wrap me up?" Louis hooked his lips and typed with interest. Life is too tight and it''s fun to tease someone in this way. "Sorry, I''m not a rich woman." Violet gritted her teeth and snapped back. "It''s okay, you can hold on to my golden thigh." "I''m sorry, I don''t have the idea of being a mistress." "I don''t have a family, and I don''t have a girlfriend." Looking at the man''s submissive reply on the phone, Violet bit her lip and her almond eyes shed. "You want me to be your girlfriend?" "Is that okay?" "But I''m a face person! You know my ex-husband Louis, right? Unless you don''t look anything like him, then I''ll think about it." Natalie said the man was old and ugly. After she made such a request, the old man must be embarrassed to pester himself anymore, right? Louis stared at the words on his phone, a small smile shing in his eyes. "You think your ex-husband is good looking?" His ex-wife actually uses him as a standard? I don''t know why I feel so good! "Or what?" "Isn''t he ice faced and scary?" Hmm? I think I''ve heard that somewhere before? Violet stared at the message on her phone and blinked. "That''s the majestic aura he has developed from years of fighting in the mall, do you understand?" The curve of Louis'' mouth got bigger. "It sounds as if you still worship your ex-husband?" The little woman with a heart of gold. Why did he love to see her defend herself in front of others so much? "You''re so nosy! All right, I''m driving! Remember, if you don''t look as good as Louis, don''t bother me! You have to know yourself, understand?" Violet didn''t want to bullshit with the stranger any further, and after sending a message over, she tossed her phone to the side. Louis on the other end looked at the message on his phone andughed silently. He raised his hand and touched his face, thought about it, and dialed out. "Dominic, do something for me ......" On the other end of the line, Violet restarted the car. Just not long after driving out, the phone beeped again. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. This man, there is no end to it! Violet was exasperated and was thinking about whether to just ckball him. But when she picked up her phone, she couldn''t help but blush slightly when she saw a message disyed on it! Chapter 325 Chapter 325 The message was not from Hendrix, but someone anonymously sent a picture of her daughter. In the photo, the daughter is wearing her school uniform and is looking toward the camera. The background of the photo is a park. She remembered that the teacher had said in the parent group that she would take the children outdoors for a pick-me-up today. Who is it? Why did you send a picture of your daughter? Violet hurriedly pulled over to the side of the road and prepared to call her teacher. At that moment, the phone rang. Violet stared at the string of numbers, her red lips pursed. The call was from the person who sent her the photo. "Hello?" "If you don''t want anything to happen to your daughter, behave yourself." The man''s conspiratorial voice came over the current. Violet''s grip on the phone tightened and she questioned, "Who the hell are you? What do you want?" "See an alley across the street? Get out of the car and walk across." The man gave the order. Violet looked out the window and saw a narrow alley across the road, where, a ck car was parked. "Who the hell are you? I''m warning, don''t hurt my daughter! Otherwise, I won''t let you go!" "Stop nagging and hurry up! If you slow down any more, I can''t guarantee that I''ll hurt your daughter." The man spoke impatiently. Violet''s heart pounded, not daring to disobey orders, sheplied and got out of the car and went to the alley across the road. "Get in the car." The man gave another order, and Violet hastily pulled open the car door, looking for her daughter. But there was no Erin in the car, except for a driver, and a man. "Where is my daughter?" "I told you, I won''t hurt your daughter as long as you behave. Otherwise ......" The man in the back seat hung up the phone and looked at her with a fierce face. He wore a duck-tongued hat and a ck outfit with ck pants. The face of a Chinese character, more than forty years old, with a long scar on the brow bone. One look is not to be messed with. Violet then realized that it was this man who was just talking to himself on the phone. Who the hell is he? Violet was tempted to call the police, but when she thought of her daughter, she stiffened up and got in the car. The man reached over and yanked her bag and phone. Violet bit her lip and looked at the stranger, "I don''t know you, who the hell are you and where did you take my daughter?" He actually knew Erin was her daughter? Then it must be someone who knows her well. But she doesn''t know him, so this guy should be instructed! The car started slowly and drove forward. The man looked her up and down, and a hint of evil shed in his eyes. "Someone paid me to do something, don''t worry, as long as you do as you''re told, your daughter will be absolutely fine." The man''s gaze was unrestrained and lewd. Violet bit her lip, her heart beating. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Surely someone is directing them. Who the hell is it? What do you want to do? The car sped along, driving further and further off. Until it stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse. "Get out of the car." Chapter 326 Chapter 326 The man got out of the car and ordered. Violet pursed her lips, got out of the car without saying a word, and was pushed into the warehouse. There were a few straggling men sitting inside, and when they saw them enter, they got up. "Greyson, this is the girl, huh? She''s pretty!" "Hmm." The man who brought Violet in hmmm''d and swaggered into a chair brought by his men. Violet looked around and saw that someone was pointing a camera at her in this dpidated warehouse. The few people next to her looked at her with evil eyes. Is this meant to be a video for her? Violet''s heart jumped and she looked at the man in the chair, "I''vee here with you, so you can tell me where my daughter is, right?" "Don''t worry, your daughter is fine and should be heading back to school with her teacher ssmates right now." Greyson lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and returned it. He used his daughter to lure her over on purpose! Why? "Haha, Greyson, are we ready to start?" "This chick is so pretty, the brothers are blessed today." Several young men with dyed hair and a flow of young people have gathered around towards Violet. Violet''s heart jumped and her nerves instantly tightened. "What do you want?" "Violet, if you don''t want anything to happen to your daughter, be a good girl and undress yourself." Greyson dusted off his cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring. Violet looked at him, "I have no grudge against you, what do you want?" "Can''t you see that yet? Someone paid me a fortune to take pictures of you fooling around with men, and you had to do it willingly. So hello ......" Hearing this, Violet suddenly understood. Someone wants to ruin himself and presumes to keep himself dumb and afraid to speak up. These people look like they''re from the road, and they''re using their daughter''s safety to lure her over C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. so that they have to give in. Who has such a big hatred with himself? Alisha shed in my mind. The only people she''s offendedtely are the Alisha family. Alisha was dumbfounded by her own calctions, so could it be her revenge? "Take it off! Beautiful girl, don''t be afraid, brother I will be very gentle." "Hey, hey, look at this little face tender, I did not expect to have a daughter? If you don''t know, you think it''s an eighteen-year-old college student." "......" Several youngstersughed wickedly. Violet fiercely pulled out a dagger from her pocket, "Don''te any closer, or I''ll die with you!" Just now when she got the call, she put the folding knife in her pocket, just in case. Several men were on their feet and all looked at the man in the chair. Greyson took a deep drag on his cigarette, dropped the butt on the floor, and got up to walk slowly towards Violet. "Still quite tough? What, are you scaring me? If you don''t cooperate, I don''t mind taking your life directly after I''ve made my brothers happy today!" The man had a fierce look on his face, his scars twitching as the muscles in his face tugged. Violet gripped the hilt of her knife tightly, trying desperately to keep herself calm. "This big brother, before you arrested me, didn''t you investigate my background? I am Louis'' woman, if anything happens to me, do you think he will let you guys go?" "Is that bastard son of The Johnson Family a big deal? He almost died in my hands a year ago? I tell you, if I want to, I can take his life tomorrow!" With a cocky look on his face, Greyson moved closer to Violet and suddenly reached for Violet''s knife. Violet was still reying what he said when the knife was knocked to the ground with a sudden pain in her wrist. Violet''s heart was beating violently, and looking at the few people who had gathered around again, she called out in a hurry, "Wait, big brother, I want to talk to you about a business deal." Greyson looked at her with a yful expression, "You want to talk business with me? Talk about what kind of business?" Violet swallowed and tried to calm her heart. "I guess big brother you are carrying a human life, you must be watched by the relevant departments, right? Do you want to go out with a straight face?" Chapter 327 Chapter 327 Hearing Violet''s words, Greyson narrowed his eyes, full of danger, "What do you mean?" "What I mean is, I''m a makeup artist, and I can teach you makeup to make sure you can''t even recognize your loved ones when you walk down the streetter." Violet stared at Greyson and said slowly. She had to find a way to keep her innocence, and all she could think of right now was her make-up skills. I hope I can persuade this man to let her go. Greyson stared at Violet quietly, "Are you trying to use makeup to make us disguise our true appearance as a condition for me to let you go today?" "Yes." Violet kept herposure, "Brother, my make-up isparable to disguise, if you don''t believe me, you can look up the modeling contest held not long ago on the inte. One of the contestants who could have won the championship, just because she offended me, I used my makeup art to make her only get the third ce. So, I must be very useful to you." Hearing this, Greyson looked her up and down, pondering. Violet stood quietly, only to feel a heart like to jump out of the chest. After a long time, Greyson seems to have figured it out, "This deal sounds interesting, okay, I can let you go, now, youe with me." He was talked into it. Violet exhaled silently with joy in her heart. The good thing is that she is in the service industry and understands some customer psychology. This person has a human life on his hands, must be long years in the knife''s mouth licking blood. Those who live in darkness must long for sunlight. That''s what made her think of using her make-up to convince him. "Greyson, is this the end? What about the buyer?" One of the men called out. "Wouldn''t it be better to find a woman with a simr body shape to her instead? Stupid." Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Greyson waved his hand impatiently and led Violet out of the warehouse. Violet looked around, and when no one was looking, she hurriedly threw a bright colored hair band to the ground. This is my daughter''s hair ring, I hope someone will find it. "Brother, where are you taking me?" Violet inquired as she got into the car. "We''ll see when we go." Greyson closed the car door and signaled the driver to drive. Violet pursed her lips and something shed through her mind as she thought about what this man had said. She must not have misheard the man who said that Louis almost died at his hands a year ago. So, Louis'' car ident was man-made? So who does this Greyson work for? Is the person who instructed him to hurt himself today the same person who instructed him to do it to Louis a year ago? ...... The Johnson Group. Louis finished a meeting, rubbed his brow, and prepared to go to the next drinking party. Harry has been following him around. At that moment, a message came in on his phone. He took it out and took a look at it, and his face changed abruptly when he saw what was on it. "Harry, has Mr. Robinson arrived yet?" Louis asked as he nced at his watch. Harry stood still, staring nkly at his phone. Louis didn''t hear a reply and stopped to look back at him. "Harry?" Harry returned to his senses and hurriedly put his phone in his pocket. "Mr. Johnson, what did you just say?" Louis'' brow furrowed slightly, "What''s wrong with you? Something wrong?" "I ......" Harry opened his mouth and turned his words around, "Mr. Johnson, can I take a leave of absence? There''s something I have to take care of." Chapter 328 Chapter 328 Louis looked at him steadily for two seconds, "What is it? Do you need help?" "No, I can handle it myself." Harry lowered his eyes slightly and returned the question. "Go ahead." Louis didn''t ask any more questions and turned to stride away. Harry watched his back and curled his fingers. He couldn''t tell Louis what had happened for the moment because the man''s reputation was at stake! Harry hurried out of the group, got in his car, and dialed out a phone call. "Who are you and what do you want?" The person who just sent him the message was an unknown number. Above is a picture of Nina in a room, swallowing fog with several men. Beside her, there were also syringes, and a small packet of white pills. Nina she actually ...... "Is that Assistant Harry? My boss would like a word with you." A man''s voice came over the current, followed by someone picking up the phone. " Assistant Harry, how are you, I''m Marcus." It''s Marcus? Harry gripped the phone tightly, "Mr. Su, what do you mean?" " Assistant Harry, I admire you so much that I want to work with you." Marcus said slowly. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Harry''s face was sullen and cold, "You want to cooperate with me? Mr. Su''s sincerity really begs to differ! Please exin to me first, what is the meaning of the photo you sent?" "Well, I didn''t expect Miss Evison to be a sexual person who likes to y exciting things. So, I''ll provide him with a little excitement." Marcusughed. Harry''s eyes erupted with intense anger. "Marcus, how dare you do this to her? She is Austin''s sister, aren''t you afraid that Austin won''t let you go if he finds out?" "Haha, so I''ll let you know first." Marcus chuckled, " Assistant Harry, I know you like Nina, if you don''t want her to lose her reputation and for all of Crotosi City to know that she is a drug addict, then behave yourself. Don''t worry, if you do what I say, I promise to keep this to yourself." Hearing this, Harry suppressed the anger inside and asked, "What do you want me to do?" "Infinity Tech Company is already out to bid, and you at The Johnson Group should be ready to bid as well, right? I want you to get Louis'' final ns for me, simple as that." Marcus exins the intent. Harry tightened his grip on the phone and said angrily, "Marcus, just because of a coborative project, you victimized a woman? You are so despicable." " Assistant Harry, actually you should thank me for that. You and Nina have different status, if no ident happened, how could you have married her? But now, she has the handle in your hand, so do you still worry about marrying your beloved?" Marcus said. Harry chuckled lightly, "Marcus, not everyone is as bottomless as you are. Cut the crap and tell me, where is she now?" "So you''re agreeing to work with me? Assistant Harry, I have a lot of eye-catching photos in my hands!" "You!" Harry''s forehead veins jutted out, and he barely managed to suppress the rage inside him and calm down. "I promise you just that." "Cool. You go see her at the Azure Club in the western suburbs." Marcus smiled, " Assistant Harry, good cooperation! As long as you help me get this done, I won''t treat you badly." Harry pressed his anger without speaking, hung up the phone and then drove to the western suburbs. The other side. Violet is led into a room by Greyson, masked. When the ck cloth was removed from her face, she raised her hand to shade her head from the light and let her eyes adjust to the brightness. Looking around, it looks like a club room. All the furnishings are decorated with great care. "Violet, let me see what you''ve got." Greyson sat on the couch and had one of his men bring in a man to model. Violet pursed her lips, "A clever woman can''t cook without rice, I need professional makeup tools." Chapter 329 Chapter 329 "What kind of makeup tools do I need?" Greyson asked. "You won''t understand if you say so. Better send someone to my studio to get my make-up bag." Violet''s eyes flickered slightly and she spoke in a light voice. Greyson stared at her, slowly got up and walked over to her, suddenly reaching out and grabbing her by the neck. "Violet, do you really think I''m that easy to fool? Write down what tools you need! Otherwise, I will break your neck directly!" Violet''s breath hitched, feeling the forceing from her neck, and squeezed out the words, "I can only write when you let go." This is a desperate man, she really can not take him as a three-year-old child deception. Greyson let go of his hand, his eyes grim. Violet covered her neck with two light coughs and wrote down a few tools. "Okay." Greyson took the paper and nced at it, then told his men to get it fast. The handlers answered, stuffed the paper into their pockets, and then pulled open the door of the private room. "Nina,e to your senses! I''ll take you back." A man''s voice drifted faintly outside. Violet inadvertently nced at the man''s figure that shed by the doorway, and could not help but feel a jump in her heart. The man who just passed by, why did she think it looked like Harry? He passed by the booth with a woman in his arms, calling her name softly over and over again. " Assistant Harry!" Violet rushed to the door against all odds. But the bouncer at the door had long since closed the door, shutting out her cries. "Open the door, open the door!" Violet couldn''t resist pping up the door panel. There was a pain in her shoulder, and someone yanked her to the ground in one fell swoop. Greyson looked at her condescendingly, his eyes full of cold light. "Violet, you don''t want to be punished, you really think I''m easy to talk to? Do you need me to give you some color?" Violet''s newly boiling blood cooled abruptly. She swallowed and got up from the ground. "Sorry, I just want to know where is this ce? When are you going to let me go?" She could not provoke this man. The only way to get out of here is to stall for time and then find a way to get out of here. "Less nagging, wait obediently, as long as your make-up really satisfies me, I won''t hurt you." Greyson sat down on the couch again and said coldly. Violet pursed her lips, looked at the door again and did not make a sound. Was the person she saw just now Harry or not? If so, why is he here? And where is this ce? ...... Brooklyn spent some time with her mother at the hospital and then had to leave. He drove out not long after, without ncing, saw the car parked at the roadside. Isn''t that Violet''s car? A sh of suspicion in Brooklyn''s eyes, hit the steering wheel and pulled the car to the side of the road. Getting out of the car, he went to Violet''s car, but saw no one inside. Strange. Why is her car parked on the side of the road, but the person is not there? Brooklyn pulled out her cell phone and dialed Violet. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. However, the phone is off. Brooklyn thoughtfully looked at the car for a few seconds, turned back to his car, and then drove to Violet''s store. Just after getting out of the car, I met Austin holding Erin, and Josie getting out of the car. "Mr. Brooklyn, you''re here?" Austin saw Brooklyn and asked with a raised eyebrow. "Mr. Evison, I''vee to see if Helena has returned." Brooklyn knew that Austin and Violet were on good terms with a few people and didn''t hold back, telling the story of how Violet went to visit his mother in the hospital today and now only saw the car but no one else. Austin listened, exchanged nces with Josie, and gestured for her to go upstairs and take a look. Chapter 330 Chapter 330 Josie hmms and walks quickly upstairs. A few momentster, she came downstairs anxiously, "The staff said Violet went out and never came back." Hearing this, both Austin and Brooklyn''s faces froze up. "Josie mommy, is mommy missing? Could she have gone to Uncle Louis?" Erin, who was being held by Austin, cocked her head and burst out. Josie blinked, took Erin from Austin, and said, "What are you waiting for? Why don''t you call Mr. Johnson and ask him about it?" Austin was sent on a mission, and without any nonsense, dialed Louis'' number directly. "Austin, something wrong?" "Louis, have you seen Helena?" On the other end of the phone, Louis is in a private room dealing with a client. Hearing this, he frowned slightly with his sword, spoke to a few customers and walked outside the private room. "Seen it, what''s wrong? She hasn''te back yet?" Are you still seeing Brooklyn? Didn''t listen to him at all? "She hasn''te back yet, was she just with you?" Austin asked in a rush. "No, she''s with Brooklyn." Louis said with a cold vocal line. Austin opened his mouth and nced at Brooklyn, "Louis, something may have happened to Helena ......" Private room. Greyson''s men brought in makeup tools. "Violet, the stuff is brought for you, if you dare to fool me, then wait for the end of being adulterated first and then killed." Greyson made a vicious threat. Violet pursed her lips, "Big brother, if my make-up skills can satisfy you, I hope you can let me go. Don''t Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. worry, I will keep my mouth shut about today''s incident and never reveal half a word." "Stop nagging and hurry up!" Greyson spoke impatiently. Violet gestured to the man acting as a model to sit down, then pressed his apprehension and began to apply makeup for the man. She can''t just sit there and wait for death, she must save herself! It didn''t take long for the makeup to finish on the man''s face. Violet looked to Greyson, "Brother, will this be okay if you take a look?" Greyson walked up to the man and looked at the face in front of him with a sh of surprise in his eyes. It is a face that lookspletely different from the man himself. If you just walk out like this, no one will recognize you for sure. Violet''s makeup is really something. Greyson nodded in satisfaction, "Go out and walk around and see if anyone knows you?" "Brother, I''m a fugitive from justice, I can''t see anyone." The man acting as a model was startled and said with some hesitation. "Told you to go out for a walk! Don''t worry, will I still screw you?" Greyson tossed a mirror in front of him. The man looked embarrassed and slowly picked up the mirror and looked at it. At the sight of his own face, he could not help but stare in disbelief. "This, this is not my face!" "So let''s get you out and about and go for a walk, go ahead." Greyson kicked the man in the ass. The manughed heatedly, put the mirror down and strutted out. "Brother, let me put on another makeup for you." Violet suppressed the fluctuations in her heart and looked at Greyson and said calmly. Greyson nced at her and, in a rare moment of non-objection, sat back in his chair. Violet picked up her makeup tools and dryly applied a makeup for him. "Okay." Violet put down her makeup tools, looked at her masterpiece and pursed her lips. "Pfft, big brother, you ......" The henchmen standing on one side looked at Greyson''s face and couldn''t help butugh out loud. Chapter 331 Chapter 331 "What''s tough about?" Greyson''s eyes narrowed as he picked up the mirror and looked in it. A delicate woman''s face appears in the mirror. Greyson blushed and red angrily at Violet. "Violet, what the hell did you put on me?" "Big brother, the greater the contrast, the less likely others will associate you. If you don''t believe me, try going out for a walk?" Violet smiled lightly, and a hint of cunning shed in her eyes. Greyson red at her, looking at himself in the mirror, but didn''t retort. Violet looked at his face and added, "It would be perfect if you changed into women''s clothes again. Why don''t you have your men go and get some women''s clothes to try?" "Yes, yes, big brother, why don''t I go find some women''s clothes to try on for you?" The handlers hastened to echo the words. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. "Roll." Greyson red at him and scolded him unkindly. "Brother, just try it, it won''t do anything." The handlers were not afraid of him, and ran to get their clothes. Greyson''s eyebrows knitted and he looked at a calm Violet, "Violet, you do have a couple of tricks up your sleeve. I''ll have someonee over and learn from youter, when she learns, when I''ll let you go back." "Good." Violet nodded, with a calm face. Her make-up skills are not that easy to learn. She only hoped that when her family, who had dyed waiting for her not to return, came out to look for her, someone would follow the traces she had given and find her! "Brother,e on, go and change." Greyson''s men brought over a women''s dress. "I''m not wearing it." Greyson looked disgusted. "Just try it." Two henchmen, one on each side, pulled Greyson to the corner and grinned gangly as they stripped him of his clothes. Violet turned her back in a hurry. After a rustling sound, Greyson''s men called out, "Wow, where is this beautiful woman from? Brother, I''ll go get a wig, and then go get two buns to put on your chest, a proper big star ah!" "Fuck you." "......" Listening to the flirtatious voicesing from behind her, the corners of Violet''s mouth ticked up. She slowly turned around and looked across the room at Greyson. At this time, the man was wearing arge red dress and delicate makeup on his face. At first nce, it does look like a big star. But others do not know, but she knows that at this time the man''s appearance like a person. Sasha. A starlet who is in jail! And the makeup she put on the first man also looks like one ...... After receiving Austin''s call, Louis put off his social engagements and flew to meet up with Austin. They looked for acquaintances in the relevant departments, retrieved surveince and found the end. Violet parked her car on the side of the road and got into a ck car herself, then left. The car is a set of cars, and the person in the cab is so experienced that it is impossible to get a good look at him. And the car drove further and further away, and finally disappeared in the unsupervised suburbs. "Louis, Helena looks like she''s following of her own free will." Austin''s eyebrows knitted together and he looked at Louis, whose face was sullen. "Not necessarily! There were two people in this car, and it was clear that neither was a normal Louis'' voice was deep as he looked to Austin and said, "You continue to check for clues here, and then send someone to the suburbs to look in that area as soon as possible." "Good." Austin answered and immediately dialed the phone. "Mr. Johnson, that suburban area is extensive, so I''ll contribute to it." Brooklyn asked Louis for his opinion. Louis gave him a look, nodded, and turned to stride away. Getting into the car, he sped off in the direction of the suburbs. The mind kept thinking, who took Violet and where would they take her? It was getting dark. At this time, the suburbs are very empty, except for a few abandoned warehouses, not a single person can be seen. Louis pulled over to the side of the road, got out of the car, and looked around. His eyes twitched when he saw a bright colored hair band on the side of the road. This hair band, how did he remember it was worn on Erin''s head? Violet must have been here. Chapter 332 Chapter 332 Louis ck eyes slightly narrowed, vision far away, looking at the destend, the heart is full of anxiety. Violet, where the hell are you? Don''t ever have an ident. "Mr. Johnson, there''s no one here." The men came over to report. "Keep expanding your search." Louis put the hair band away, got into the car and continued on his search. After passing the isted section, people and buildings could be seen from a distance. Louis slowed down his car and his eyes fell on a leisure club not far away. It''s a nocturnal city called Azure Club. It is said that many rich gentry anddies like toe to this ce for excitement. And the boss of thiswork is very hard, ck and white eat. Louis pulled the car to the side, pulled out the cigarette case, feel a cigarette, want to light a cigarette to refresh. The light of the fire lit up his face, he took a deep breath of smoke and slowly exhaled a smoke ring. Sight towards the void in front of him, inadvertently nced, at the sight of a person in front of him, he C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. jerked to a halt. Jaden ck? Why does that guy look so much like Jaden? Not true! Jaden is obviously lying in the hospital, howe he is here? Louis'' eyebrows sank, put out the cigarette butt, pulled open the door and got out of the car. "Brother, wait a minute." Louis strides up to the man and pats him on the shoulder. The man jumped away with a start and looked at Louis with a wary face. "You, what do you want?" The man''s eyes flickered, restless with ferocity. The look is like a criminal who has done something bad. Louis eyes heart moved slightly, smiled: "Sorry, did not bring a fire, can borrow a fire?" Hearing this, the man looked at Louis steadily for two seconds and sighed in relief. "Oh, to borrow a fire, here." "Thanks." Louis took the lighter, relit a cigarette for himself, and handed another to the other man. "You work here, right?" "Hmm." The man exhaled a smoke ring and looked Louis up and down, "I see you''re a rich man, are you here to y?" "I heard there was something fun going on here, so I came to check it out." Louis made a casual, perfunctory remark. "Yes, we have a lot of fun here. Little brother, do you know me?" The man came closer to Louis and asked the thief. "Don''t know." Louis returned without moving a muscle. "Haha, it''s good not to know!" The manughed and swaggered towards the clubhouse. Louis looked steadily at the man''s back, put out the cigarette butt, quickly got into the car and called Austin. "Austin, are you still in the traffic department? Call Team Liu and tell him there''s a fugitive at Azure Club and tell him to send someone over quickly." The man''s face just now looked like Jaden''s at first nce. And his strange behavior makes people suspicious. If he was right, the man''s face was covered with makeup. And the person who applied the makeup for him was Violet! Violet must be inside this clubhouse! She deliberately drew the man''s face as Jaden''s so that the people who came to her could see the difference! The clubhouse. Greyson called in a woman that was following Violet''s makeup lessons. Violet taught step by step, the woman was bitter with a face that had a bitterness. She usually only serves men in that matter, this kind of fine work for men''s makeup, she does not know ah! "Well, I''m done teaching, so find a model and try it out." Violet put down her tools and spoke. "Will it be?" Greyson asked, smoking a cigarette and wearing delicate female makeup on her face. The woman moved her lips, wanting to say something. At this time, the door was pushed open, and the person who came panicked and said, "Brother, there is a police raid, Abel is being held!" Chapter 333 Chapter 333 Abel is the man Violet just finished putting on his makeup for him and went out for a walk. Greyson''s eyes shed with fierceness. "Violet, what did you do?" Violet''s heart jumped and her face was innocent, "I didn''t do anything!" Is someone looking for it? Did you find your way here because you saw a man who looked like Jaden? "Come with me! I''ll get you when we get out!" Greyson, with a fierce look on his face, ripped Violet off and left. Violet secretly hid a brow knife in her hand and was dragged away by Greyson. Once outside, she realized that this was indeed a clubhouse. Quite a lot of noise came from not far away from the closed door. I think the police must be over there questioning something. Violet was yanked tight by Greyson''s arm and ran in the opposite direction. Then he pressed a button on the wall, and the originally closed wall suddenly parted. There are secret passages! Violet''s heart beat faster, and as Greyson was about to drag her into the dark secret passage, she took out her de and shed him violently on the back of his hand. Greyson ate the pain and let go of Violet. Violet took the opportunity to turn around and run. "Bitch, stop!" Greyson cursed twice and came sprinting after him. Violet bit her lip and ran desperately. Almost there! Two more steps and she could have pulled the door open and asked for help! But just as her hand hit the doorknob, her scalp hurt and Greyson caught up with her. "Bitch, how dare you hurt me? Don''t you want to live?" Greyson pulled her hair and pushed her heavily against the wall, his clenched fist raised high, the fierce light in his eyes. Violet sucked in her breath backwards and subconsciously closed her eyes. The imagined pain did note and the man''s stern voice rang out. "Stop, let her go!" This sound ...... Violet''s eyes snapped open and she saw Louis descend like a god, rushing towards Greyson with a swift and furious punch. Greyson was so shocked that he couldn''t grab Violet and fought with Louis.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Violet stared closely at the two men, her heart racing. At that moment, a police officer rushed over and joined the struggle. Greyson saw that the situation was not good, looking for an opening to kick away the officers, pulling his legs and running. Several officers rushed after them. She''s saved! It was Louis who saved her again at the critical moment. Violet''s legs went a little weak and she leaned against the wall and gulped. Her eyes fell on Louis, and she was about to say something when a man''s voice came from not far away. "Helena, is everything okay?" Violet turned her head and saw Brooklyn hurrying in. "Brooklyn, I''m fine." Violet didn''t expect Brooklyn to be here, so she stood up straight and smiled gratefully. "I''m d it''s okay, it''s killing me." "Fortunately, you arrived just in time." Louis finished finishing his clothes and watched the two kiss and talk, with a slight sinking of breath around him. Who is her savior? Someone should not thank him first ah! "Louis, Helena." Austin also arrived in a hurry and called out to the two men. "Mr. Evison, you''re here, too." Violet heart Natalie''s, did not expect toe so many people. "We all rushed over here when we got the call from Louis, are you okay?" Austin asked. "It''s okay. Thanks guys." Violet nced at Louis and felt a slight ripple in her heart. Louis was the first to notice the clues and called the police, right? "Yours?" Louis takes a hairband out of his pocket and hands it to Violet. Chapter 334 Chapter 334 "Yes, thank you." Violet took the hair band and thanked her sincerely again. "Who kidnapped you? Why did they kidnap you?" Louis asked in a deep voice. "That''s the guy just now, his men call him Greyson." Violet nced in the direction of Greyson''s escape, "He kidnapped me because someone paid him off to take pictures of me voluntarily fooling around with men." Hearing this, Louis'' dark eyes narrowed, "You mean, the man''s name is Greyson?" "Yes, that''s what his men call him." Violet nodded, thought of something, looked at Louis and said, "I also heard him say that a year ago, you almost died in his hands." Sure enough, it''s him! This Greyson, in his forties, with a scar across his brow bone, is the man he''s looking for! Louis'' eyebrows are deeply fixed, and the aura around him is as cold as ice. "What? Louis, it seems that your car ident a year ago was really man-made!" Austin said coldly, "Then we need to check out this Greyson, and this Azure Club. Find out what the rtionship between this Greyson and the owner of this ce really is!" Yes! It''s time to check it out! Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Louis'' thin lips were pursed, thinking of his car ident a year ago, because the brake system failed. But he clearly remembered that the car ident shortly before, just sent to a special 4S store to do maintenance. Afterwards, he had someone check and learned that the mechanic who serviced his car that day had a sudden ident while working and injured his internal organs. The boss gave him a sum of money and asked his rtives to take him back to his hometown. He thought it was too much of a coincidence and sent people to continue the trail. Only that person has been unconscious until not long ago. Finally, under his repeated questions, the man told him that it was Greyson who checked the car for him after he had serviced it. Obviously, this Greyson is suspicious. The repairman did not have a picture of Greyson, nor did he know what Greyson''s real name was, except that the man was in his forties, had a scar at his brow bone, and was familiar with his boss. And the owner of the 4S store, named Zakaria Wright. Zakaria''s father worked as a housekeeper for The Johnson Family. The Johnson Family is a family of people who have been led back and forth. Perhaps someone from The Johnson Family, through Zakaria, instructed Greyson to do the dirty work on himself. There is only one person that The Johnson Family wants to kill, and that is his stepmother. Associated with his mother''s sudden ident twenty years ago, also because of a car ident. Could there be a connection between the two? So he''s been pressing on, in search of this Greyson. I didn''t expect to meet him in this clubhouse. And the owner behind this club is Zakaria''s cousin. Looks like he''s going to have to look into the rtionship between his wonderful stepmother and this Zakaria! "Mr. Johnson, Mr. Gu, Mr. Brooklyn, thank you for your help in catching a few fugitives. But the leader, whose nickname is Greyson, got away." Liu team strides over, and Louis a few people to say thank you. Violet blinked, "Fugitives? You caught the fugitive?" "Yes, the man nicknamed Abel is one of the fugitives, and thanks to Miss Elliott you, too." Team Liu spoke up. "Helena, I didn''t expect you to be so smart as to think of using makeup to confuse the enemy and make him reveal himself." Austin did not mince words inplimenting Violet. Violet gave Louis a look, "The only bad guy I''ve mettely is Jaden, and luckily Mr. Johnson figured it out." This man''s observation is really keen. Maybe if someone else met it, they might have missed it. Luckily he was there! The woman looked at herself with a little reverence and gratitude, Louis mood cleared up a little. He suppressed the corner of his mouth that was about to curl up and looked at Team Liu, "Team Liu, please also interrogate the owner of this club properly to see how he can keep so many fugitives!" "Yes, Team Liu, and that Greyson, he''s a repeat offender, make sure you find him as soon as possible." Austin said. "Definitely definitely." Team Liu nodded hastily and looked to Violet, "Miss Elliott, today''s incident also please go back to the police station with me and make a statement." "Good." Violet nodded and followed. "And I wonder who''s going to hurt your ex-wife this time, Louis, could it be your stepmother?" Austin asked Louis as he followed, rubbing his chin. It''s impossible to say! But it could have been someone else. Louis thin lips lightly pursed, did not make a premature decision. Wait until he checks out the rtionship between Rosalie and Zakaria. Chapter 335 Chapter 335 The Johnson Manor. Rosalie received a phone call and her face changed and changed. "Rubbish! He''s been fine for so many years, and this time he actually fell into Violet''s hands? How stupid is he?" She introduced Greyson to Alisha and told him to run Violet, which she thought was a sure thing. Little did I know that Greyson would not only fail to get things done, but bring Violet to the Azure Club. And finally brought in the police! Now he''s on the run and Azure Club has been seized! It''s because of Violet again! This little bitch, how can she be so powerful! "MY SWEET, you take it easy, I scolded him too, let him go out and hide for a while." The other side said in a hurry. Rosalie took a deep breath and tried her best to calm the depression in her heart. "Zakaria, your cousin''s clubhouse was closed down, it won''t be on you, will it?" She had always known that Zakaria and the others were in the business, and that much of it was hidden from view. I just hope this one doesn''t involve her in anything. "Don''t worry, my cousin is a human being, some of the exciting things in the clubhouse are well hidden. The police didn''t find anything major, just some minor problems." "It''s all been seized and it''s still a minor problem? Your cousin is harboring a fugitive." Rosalie lowered her voice and said uneasily. "The cunning rabbit three caves, there seized, change the ce is. As for harboring fugitives, do they have evidence? It''s the fugitives who are too good at hiding, and my cousin doesn''t know who the fugitives are." Zakaria said smugly. Rosalie heard him say this, his heart slightly settled, "You take care of yourself, the main thing is Greyson, let him hide well, do not let anyone find." Hearing this, Zakariaughed, "my sweet, so worried about me? So let''s meet at the usual ce this week?" Rosalie wrinkled her eyebrows, "We''d better see less of each other in this storm." "Ok, all yours. my sweet, you and your daughter be well, don''t rush it, The Johnson Family will be ours sooner orter! Love you, my sweet!" The man''s meaty voice came over the current. Rosalie''s eyebrows shed with a pouting smile, like a young girl''s nostalgia. "You''re less poor, I''m hanging up." After hanging up the phone, Rosalie touched her face and a trance shed in her eyes. For more than twenty years, only Zakaria has brought her endless joy. It gave her great satisfaction, both mentally and physically. Unlike Leon, marrying her was a business union. And almost returned her for a woman! Now it''s even letting an illegitimate son climb to his head and make a fool of himself. How can she swallow this anger! Rosalie closes her eyes, thinking about the day, she opens them and calls Alisha. the Williams Manor. Alisha was enjoying a video sent to her by Greyson''s men. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Violet the little bitch, this is going to be a good one for her." Alisha was so pleased with herself that she was going to send the video anonymously to all the major websitester so that everyone could see Violet''s slutty appearance. At that moment, Rosalie''s call came in. Alisha looks at it, smiles, and connects. "Mrs. Johnson, I was just about to report back to you! The people you introduced are really good at what they do. Violet, the little bitch, is now in our hands. I''ll send the film to the mediater." Hearing this, Rosalie asked, "What piece, Mrs. Williams, are you sure it''s done?" "Yeah! It''s the video that Greyson''s man sent me! You are not seeing how slutty that little bitch Violet is." Alisha had a smug look on her face. Rosalie sneered, "Mrs. Williams, I''m afraid that video was a fake. violet was very good at coaxing Greyson into letting her off the hook. And finally used makeup to lure in the police and get Greyson almost caught." "What! Fake!" Alisha, startled and wide-eyed, stumbled and asked, "So, so what''s the situation now, Greyson he he got away did he? I we should be okay, right?" Chapter 336 Chapter 336 She doesn''t want to go into the police station again. It''s so humiliating! "Greyson has escaped, so you''d better be quiet and unobtrusive in the meantime. As for Violet, you''ll always find a chance to get herter." Rosalie hung up the phone after she finished. Alisha stared nkly at her phone and tapped on the video again. In the video, the woman''s face shed by from time to time, and it was not really visible. I don''t know without saying it, but now look closely, this woman is indeed not Violet. Greyson is fooling her! "Violet the little bitch, howe she can''t be fixed!" Alisha threw the phone onto the couch with an indignant look. "Mom, what are you talking to yourself alone at thiste hour?" Nancy came down from upstairs, saw Alisha''s angry face, yawned and asked. "Daughter, our n has failed again! Violet the little bitch, I really underestimated her." Alisha gasped. Nancy sat down on the couch and picked up Alisha''s phone to look at it. Restricted images were ying on her phone and she tossed it aside with a disgusted look, "Is it not Violet in here?" "No, the person Rosalie introduced me to was fooling me." Alisha put Rosalie''s words in rough terms. Nancy sneered, "Mom, Violet this thing toe long, there is no hurry. For now, you''d better coax Dad to get better and not really divorce him. Where is he? Still not back?" At that, Alisha looked at the time, "I asked him, he said he had a social function today and would be backter." This old man, now temper is seen to grow. Last night she coaxed half a day and it didn''t work. What a pain. Just then, the doorbell rang. The servant ran to open the door and saw Miller walk in drunkenly. "Your father is back." Alisha hurriedly got up to meet her. "Miller, why are you drinking so much? Quickly, you help him to sit on the sofa for a while first. You, go and cook a bowl of sober soup for Master." Miller, with drunken eyes open, shook his body free of Alisha''s hand and stumbled upstairs. "Go away and get out of my sight, it''s an eyesore." Alisha watched Miller''s back, her breasts heaving for a moment. She smells a woman''s perfume now. The old man still has a hickey on his neck! Did he take the opportunity of socializing to fool around with women! C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. "Mom, Dad is drunk, go upstairs and serve him!" Nancy saw Alisha standing dumbfounded and went over and nudged her. "Serving what serving? Your father probably has a woman by his side!" What? Nancy frowned, with some impatience in her heart. "Mom, calm down, don''t be impulsive. If there really is a woman around Dad, you have to get the evidence first, know which coquette is pestering Dad, and then show your hand, otherwise you will make a mess. Okay, I''m sleepy, I''m going upstairs to sleep." Why are these parents of hers so unconscious? I really don''t want to care about their crap! Watching Nancy go upstairs, Alisha took her words in. Now she was the one who was in the wrong, and her daughter was right, she couldn''t go question Miller right away. We have to get hold of the evidence. Maybe it was a misunderstanding? Thinking, Alisha took her phone and sent a message out. "Check Miller''s movements in thest two days for me." Chapter 337 Chapter 337 Violet returned home, ate the meal Josie had cooked for her, and leaned back on the couch to rest. When she thinks about today''s events, she still has palpitations. I don''t know who ordered Greyson to try to ruin her. Fortunately, Brooklyn had the presence of mind to know to look for her in the store. And Louis, well, he was quick-witted enough to see the breakthrough. Is she a little unlucky this year? How to always be counted? "What a false rm... Good thing you''re lucky." Josie put Erin to bed and came out of the children''s room to sit next to Violet. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Violet held the pillow and curled her lips. "Violet, that Brooklyn seems to be very close to you! His mother and your mother are still old friends, so you two ......" Josie leaned closer and smiled meaningfully. "Josie, don''t guess, he and I are just ordinary friends." Violet lost her smile, and the stranger''s warning to herself suddenly shed through her mind. There was a headache. This year, she not only fate of the year, but also attracted bad peach blossom. I would love to turn the page quickly. Violet let out a mental sigh, "Josie, I have to go to bed." "Well, hurry up and go to bed, good night." "Good night." Violet washed up briefly andy down under the covers. Probably because today was scared, obviously very sleepy, but the head is still turning. At that moment, her cell phone rang. Violet opened her eyes and reached up to pick her phone up off the nightstand to look at it. "Are you asleep? Is there anything you want to say to me?" It''s that Hendrix message! Violet wrinkled her brow, rolled over, and sent a message. "I don''t know you very well." "It''s okay, just talk and get acquainted." He was cheeky. Violet snorted lightly and typed again, "Don''t you harass me or I''ll ck you out." "Pulling the plug on me? You''re going to regret it. What if I look better than Pan Pan?" This man, bragging without a draft! Violetughed again with a light mockery, and her onion-white fingers typed a quick line, "Stop bragging." On the other end of the phone, Louis is in his office. He stared at the message on his phone and the corners of his mouth curved up silently. She herself touted his good looks, he didn''t brag about it, okay? "It''s a nice night tonight, go to bed early. Good night!" Looking at this line, Violet just felt that this Hendrix was inexplicable. You don''t sleep at night, just chatting with yourself and saying good night? However, there seems to be a sleepy feelinging on. Violet yawned, put her phone aside, closed her eyes, found afortable position, and settled down to sleep. On the other end of the phone, Louis stared at his phone screen, didn''t see Violet return the message, curved his lips and put the phone away, continuing the work left on his hands. She was in shock today, and he was afraid she wouldn''t be able to sleep, so he wanted to have a little chat with her. Hopefully, it will help her sleep. The following day. "Miss Helena, were you okay yesterday? I was scared to death." Natalie looked Violet up and down, then hugged her tightly. She hugged her a little tighter, and Violet patted her spine andughed, "I''m fine." This Natalie, it seems, really admires herself. Special care for yourself every time. Too enthusiastic. "Natalie, your Miss Helena is not only fine, but she used her make-up to catch the fugitive for the police." Josie walked up to Violet andughed, "She''s good, isn''t she? So you guys need to learn the ropes from her." "Well, I''ll definitely learn the ropes from Miss Helena." Natalie nodded her head vigorously, and her eyes felt like they were glued to Violet. Chapter 338 Chapter 338 "Violet, congrattions on gaining another fan." Josie snickered and Violetughed, touching Natalie''s eyes and just feeling something strange. At that moment, her cell phone rang. Violet''s thoughts were not interrupted and she pulled out her cell phone to answer the call. "Hello, who is it?" "Is this Miss Helena? I''m with the Gambiered Silk Association." "Hello, can I help you?" "It''s like this, Gambiered Silk Association will hold a costume designpetition in the middle of next month, and would like to invite Miss Helena to be the makeup director of thepetition, I wonder if you have a schedule?" Hearing this, Violet brightened up, "The middle of next month is it? It''s possible." "Then we''ll meet tomorrow to talk more about it." "Good." When she hung up the phone, Violet had a smile on her face. "Josie, I was asked by the Gambiered Silk Association to be the Makeup Director." Her poprity has been opened up because of thest modeling contest. The business we undertake is all high and mighty. "I know about that costume design contest, and the registration process is now open online." Josie took Violet''s arm and smiled flirtatiously, "Violet, when the timees, you have to join forces with me and give my models the best makeup, then the winner will definitely be mine!" "Yes, as ordered." Violet was amused. "That''s good." Josie smiled cheekily and ruffled her hair around her ears, "Okay, I''m off to the store, gotta get ready for thepetition! After all, my best friend''s career is rising step by step, and I can''t fall behind!" "Mmmmmm, you''re right about everything. Go for it!" Violet smiled and made a cheering gesture. Watching the interaction between the two, a hint of jealousy shed in Natalie''s eyes. "Miss Helena, can you take me to the world?" "You want to go?" Violet asked. "Think!" "Sure, then you''ll be my little assistant when the timees." "Really? Great, thanks Miss Helena," Natalie nodded her head repeatedly. Violet smiled and gave her a look, suppressing the odd feeling in her heart. Natalie just worships herself too much, so she looks at herself a little eagerly, I guess. "Is Helena there? I want her to do my look herself." The woman''s arrogant voice came from the stairway entrance. Violet turned around and saw a petite woman walking in in style. Looking young, wearing thetest Chanel suit, dressed in a very foreign style. "This youngdy, if you do not have an appointment, Miss Helena is not receiving guests." Natalie came forward and said. "I don''t have an appointment, but I have money." The woman ignored Natalie, her eyes fell on Violet''s face and said, "You''re Helena, right? I''ve seen your makeup video, aren''t you free now? Just help me do a look." "I told you, we at Miss Helena are too busy right now to receive guests personally." Natalie said with a stern face. "What kind of attitude is that? Do you know how to do business? Is this a rhythm to drive customers away?" "I didn''t, I ......" "Natalie, you go ahead and get busy." Violet saw that the two were about to argue, and quickly stopped Natalie. Natalie nced at the woman with a cold glint in her eyes, then turned away. "Miss, please sit down, what is your name?" Violet gestured to the woman to take her seat and cut her hair. In the service industry, if it is not a matter of principle, she still obeys the principle of customer is God. What''s more, now that she''s really empty, it''s not a big deal to put on makeup for someone by the way. Most of all, she was afraid that this purposeful customer would be difficult to deal with. "Sia Marsh." Sia flipped through a fashion magazine without looking up and returned the question. "What kind of makeup do you want me to put on you?" "I''m going to a business receptionter, you look after it, I believe in your vision." Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Sia put the magazine down and smiled. Violet gave her a look and a slight smile. She thought she would run into a difficult master, but so far, it seems she was overthinking it. Violet asked her the color of the dress she was going to wearter and started styling it for her. At that moment, Sia''s cell phone rang. Violet subconsciously nced at it, and gave a start when she saw the name of the person on it. Chapter 339 Chapter 339 Miller? Is the Miller shown on this girl''s phone the Miller she knows? As she was thinking, Sia gestured for her to wait for a moment and then picked up the phone. "Miller." "Sia, where have you been?" "I''m getting styled at RW Styling Studio! I have to get all dressed up for the reception with you, so pick me upter." Sia whines and pampers with her vocal line. "What? RW Styling Studio? What are you doing there?" "Miller, this is recognized as the best styling studio in Crotosi City, and their owner is your niece, so of course this is the ce to go when I want to get my look done. Now your niece is doing my makeup herself!" Sia ys with a strand of hair around her ear and smiles towards Violet. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. It took Violet a good deal of effort to suppress the surprise in her eyes. Isn''t she Miller''s niece? So the man Miss Marsh is talking to now is really her aunt Miller, whom she has cut off? Violet looks at Sia carefully, mentally specting about her rtionship with Miller. The two of them are not in that kind of rtionship, right? This girl looks about the same age as Nancy, so it would be funny if she really had that kind of rtionship. Does Alisha know of the existence of such a person? "Well, I have to do the styling, hang up first ah." Sia and Miller spoke for a few moments, then hung up and signaled that Violet was ready to apply her makeup. Violet returned to her senses, asked no more questions and continued with the task at hand. "Helena, Miller is your aunt, right? Aren''t you even going to ask something?" When Sia saw that Violet didn''t ask anything, she couldn''t help but ask out loud. Violet''s hands moved and curved her lips, "I''ll listen if you want to talk, but I''ve cut ties with Miller, he''s not my aunt." Hearing this, a trace of surprise shed in Sia''s eyes. "Why? Whose idea was it? It must be his shameless yellow face''s idea, right?" Violet gave her a look and smiled without saying anything. She called Alisha shameless. But if she''s a mistress, it doesn''t seem to be any better, right? But she has no conflict of interest with herself, so she can just listen to the gossip. "Helena, you know about that yellow-faced scandal of Miller''s, right? What augh! If it were me, I''d be so old to be photographed like that, I might as well buy a piece of tofu and crash to death." Sia mocks Alisha as Violet maintains a polite smile and continues to help her apply her makeup. "Helena, I already have Miller''s baby, and when he marries me in the future, I''ll be sure to persuade him to continue his rtionship with you." Sia touched her belly with a smile on her face. This girl is really Miller''s mistress! The two of them even have a child! Something shed in Violet''s eyes. She wouldn''t have anything to do with someone like Miller. She just thought it was funny. Alisha was the mistress, now she''s getting hereuppance! the Williams Manor. Alisha looked at the photos and messages on her phone, her chest heaving with anger. Miller did appear with coquette by his side. Her name is Sia, she graduated from a college and works as a clerk at Miller. This coquette, young and uneducated, actually seduced the old man who can be her father! "Alisha, Sia has now gone to RW Styling Studio to be styled and is supposed to apany Miller to the evening business reception." A message came on the phone and Alisha, furious and blue, scuffled to her feet. Chapter 340 Chapter 340 Bravo! This shameless coquette, she has to go to meet her! "Mom, where are you going?" Nancy came down from upstairs and saw Alisha furiously preparing to go out and inquired. "Daughter, your father is really stuck with a coquette, I''m going to meet her." Alisha grabbed her bag and left. "Mom, I''ll go with you." Nancy hurriedly followed. RW Styling Studio. Violet finished the look for Sia and asked, "Miss Marsh, the look is finished, take a look, what is not satisfied?" Sia surveyed herself in the mirror and hooked her lips in satisfaction. "Your craft really lives up to its name, nice oh." "Thank you for thepliment." Violet curled her lips and saw that she was in no hurry to leave, knowing that she was waiting for Miller to pick her up. Although she hates Miller and she hates the mistress, this Sia is not so offensive to her. Maybe it''s because she''s diaphragmatic about Alisha. "Miss Marsh, if you''re not in a hurry to go, you can go to the rest area and have a ss of water." "Good." Sia ruffled her well-done hair and got up to head to the lounge area. At that moment, a footstep came from the stairway. Immediately afterwards, Alisha and Nancy appeared. Violet was packing up her makeup tools, and when she looked up and saw the two of them appear, she subconsciously nced at Sia. The way Alisha''s mother and daughter were so aggressive, it was obvious that they knew about Sia''s existence! Looks like there''s a good show to watch! "Wee, do you two have an appointment?" The front desk girl was politely asking Alisha and Nancy. Alisha ignored her, looked around with a cold face, and when she saw Sia, who was walking towards the rest area, she walked over quickly. "So you''re Sia?" Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Sia saw Alisha early on when she appeared. She lifted her chin high and nodded, "It''s me." "Coquette, shame on you! You don''t learn at a young age, how dare you seduce my husband?" Alisha looked at the radiant Sia after her makeup and said angrily. Sia didn''t disobey her, lifted the big wavy curls around her ears and sneered: "I''m shameless? The most important thing is that you are not the only one who is not ashamed. I''m just following the same path as you did before, unlike you, not only is she a mistress, but at an old age she still has no shame, ying with fresh meat in the club!" "You ......" "Mrs. Williams, I''m pregnant with Miller''s baby, and Miller says you''re shameless, and he''s going to divorce you and marry me!" Sia rubbed her not-so-pregnant belly and interrupted Alisha''s words with a smug look on her face. "What do you mean, you you''re pregnant!" Alisha''s face was hard to see, staring at Sia''s stomach like a hole was burning through it. Nancy on the side locked her eyes on Sia and burst out half-heartedly, "Is it really you, Sia?" This girl is her elementary school ssmate. Growing up without a father, the family was poor. She is the same age as herself, and now she wants to be her stepmother! "Nancy, it''s been a long time! You still remember me!" Sia and Nancy say hello with a smug look on their faces. Nancy''s face changed for a moment and she said angrily, "Sia, howcking in love are you? My dad is old enough to be your father, don''t you feel disgusted to be with him?" "Nancy, it''s not like you don''t know that I grew up without a father, I have an Oedipusplex! I can''t love Miller enough, how can I feel disgusted?" Sia said carelessly as she yed with her hair, which was gathered to one side. Chapter 341 Chapter 341 Snap! Alisha didn''t hold back and raised her hand and pped Sia directly. "Shameless little bitch! How dare you seduce my husband and still be so arrogant? Who gave you the guts? Let''s see how I''ll deal with you today!" With a scowl on her face, Alisha smoothed her sleeves up and reached for Sia''s hair. Sia stumbled from the blow and covered her face to re at her. Seeing Alishae to grab her hair, she shot back defiantly. In a moment, the two wrestled together. The surrounding people are looking at the scene and talking, some people have long taken out their Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. cell phones to shoot. Nancy just felt so humiliated. With her status, she certainly didn''t want to go writhing around with people like a shrew. One can only scream from the sidelines to stop fighting. At that moment, Natalie suddenly rushed forward. "Stop fighting, you guys stop, this is a public ce, you pay attention to a little impact ah." Natalie said as she advised the fight. Only this persuasion has to add double quotation marks. Because she appeared to be persuading the fight, she actually pulled Sia tight so that Alisha could punch and kick her. Nancy''s eyes shed, looked at Natalie twice, and also pretended to go up to persuade the fight, taking the opportunity to pinch Sia hard twice. "Ah! My stomach, it hurts!" Sia screams out in pain as Alisha hits her with a pair of shots to the stomach. At that moment, Miller came to pick up Sia. When she saw Sia being beaten by Alisha by pulling her hair, she shouted angrily, "Alisha, what are you doing?" Hearing his voice, several people stopped moving. Sia, more like she saw the backbone, cried, "Miller, help our son, my stomach hurts." Miller, shocked and angry, strides over to Alisha, rips her away, and takes Sia into his arms. "Don''t be afraid, don''t be afraid, I''ll take you to the hospital right away." "Oooh, Miller, you''re finally here. If you don''te, me and our son are going to die at the hands of this poisonous woman!" Sia pointed at Alisha in a hateful voice. Miller''s face was horribly gloomy, he looked at Alisha, his voice was harsh, "Alisha, you better pray that Sia and her son are okay. If anything happens to my son, I will kill you!" His son! Sia, this little bitch''s belly is not yet pregnant, and he already knows it''s a son? For a coquette, he''s going to get her killed! Alisha watches Miller leave with Sia in his arms, her eyelids roll and she almost passes out from anger. "Mom!" Nancy hurriedly held her, sat down in the rest area and rubbed her heart for her. Violet stood by and watched the drama quietly, the corners of her mouth hooked. Alisha is a mistress to the top, calcting half a lifetime, now the situation, is considered to be backfired? "Mom, are you feeling better?" Nancy saw Alisha slowing down and asked a question. Alisha waved her hand and strained to get up. Seeing all the people looking at her in whispers, her face was ugly. Especially when she touched the look of mockery in Violet''s eyes, her face alternated between green and white. I was just looking for Sia, that little bitch, and now I realize that she is in Violet''s store. What a coincidence! Would Siae to Violet''s store? They are of the same age. Did Violet urge Sia to seduce Miller behind her back and ruin her marriage? Chapter 342 Chapter 342 "Violet, tell me, did you do this? Did you secretly instruct that little bitch, Sia, to seduce Miller?" Hearing Alisha''s questioning, Violet only felt amused. "Mrs. Williams, although what you just said is purely nderous, but the flies do not look at the seamless eggs, even if I really ordered this matter, then your husband can still be hooked! After all, it''s your husband who can''t change his ways, isn''t it?" "You!" Alisha choked and gasped as her body swayed lightly again. Nancy hurriedly held her up and looked at Violet with a cold look in her eyes. Violet ignored her eyes and just looked at Alisha and said, "Mrs. Williams, there is an old saying that good has its reward, evil has its reward, not unrewarded but the time has not yete. What happened to you today, don''t you think you deserved it?" "Back when you hooked up with Miller, did you ever think about my sister-inw''s pain? My sister-in- carrot with another woman, then divorce the scum!" A statement that caused Alisha''s face to change a thousand times again. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. She mumbled her lips, unable to say a word out of dislike. Nancy was surrounded by the surrounding watching eyes, only to feel like being pped hard on the face a few times, hot and painful. She bit her lip with a look of shame, "Mom, let''s go." Alisha gave Violet a hateful look, and was helped by Nancy to leave in disarray. A farce came to an end, and Natalie came up to Violet with a look of admiration: "Miss Helena, you''re so good at disliking people!" Violet looked at her with a slightly deeper meaning and said, "Natalie, did you juste out to pull the plug?" She can see clearly that Natalie seems to be pulling the strings, but in fact she favors Alisha, giving her the opportunity to hit Sia hard. The smile on Natalie''s face gave way to a twinkle in her eyes, "Miss Helena, you can see that? I just hate third parties." Is that really the reason? Or was it because Sia had offended her when she arrived? Violet looked deeply and curled her lips, "Well, go about your business." She and Natalie not much contact, so far it seems that this girl''s temperament, seems a little small? At that moment, her phone rang. Violet walked over to the side and pulled out her phone to look at it. I can''t believe it''s Harry''s call? Violet, somewhat surprised, picked up the phone. " Assistant Harry?" "Miss Elliott, are you avable now?" "Avable." "Then take a trip to The Johnson Group." Hmm? Want her to go to The Johnson Group? Violet asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?" "It''s Mr. Johnson looking for you for something." Louis has something for her? Violet blinked and hmmed. How did Louis get Harry to call himself? Could it be a work thing? Violet went to The Johnson Group with questions. Harry introduced her to the president''s office. "Miss Elliott, Mr. Johnson is still in a meeting, please wait for a moment." Violet nodded and couldn''t help but ask, " Assistant Harry, what exactly did he want with me?" Harry''s eyes flickered for a moment, said: "Miss Elliott, let youe here, in fact, is my own initiative. Because Mr. Johnson and you have a disagreement, let us all under the control of low pressure ah. So please Miss Elliott, a little bit more attentive to Mr. Johnson. After all, he really takes good care of you. As long as you guys make up, we''ll be relieved." Hearing this, Violet simply cried andughed. Assistant Harry is exaggerating, how can she have so much influence? However, he helped her once again yesterday, she should thank him. Chapter 343 Chapter 343 " Assistant Harry, how long before the meeting ends?" Violet inquired. "About half an hour to go." Harry looked at the time and returned. Half an hour to go! Violet thought about it and said, " Assistant Harry, then I''ll go pick up Erin first ande back when I do." "Miss Elliott, why don''t I go get Erin for you. mr. Johnson might be out soon." Harry said in a rush. "So? That''s fine." Violet looked at Harry''s somewhat anxious look and finally nodded. He seems to be afraid that he will not return once he is gone? "Miss Elliott, I''m going to go now then." Harry spoke as if relieved. "Good." Violet answered, watched Harry turn to leave, thought of yesterday''s incident, and hastily asked, "By the way Assistant Harry, yesterday, did you go to Azure Club?" Hearing these words, Harry''s footsteps lurched and his fingers unconsciously tugged tight. He steadied himself and looked back with a calm face, "No. What''s wrong?" "Oh, it''s okay, I probably misread it." Violet looked at his calm face and spat out. She didn''t really see it, so she was probably really overthinking it. "I''ll go first, then." Harry said, then turned and struck off. The woman''s figure shed in his mind, he forced down the anger in his eyes, reced by a trace of guilt. People will sometimes experience dilemmas. I can only say sorry to one party. In the office, Violet thought about it, went to make a cup of coffee and washed a little fruit. Even if she wanted to thank Louis, she couldn''t seem to do much about it. Not long after, Louis came back from the meeting. He visibly froze when he saw Violet. Violet is fiddling with the potted nts in her office. The corners of her mouth curved up into a smile arc, a strand of hair hanging mischievously in her ears, the sun shining through the ss on her body, looking extraordinarily quiet and breezy. Let people have a kind of years of quiet immediate sense. The corners of Louis'' mouth involuntarily curled up. Violet heard the movement and she straightened up in a hurry. "Mr. Johnson." Louis collected his eyes and strutted over to his desk, his demeanor returning to bemusement. "Something?" "Nothing major, just came to thank you for your help yesterday, and by the way, did you find that Greyson yet?" Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Violet could not say she was swindled by Harry and found a proper reason. "Haven''t found the guy yet." Louis sat down in the executive chair, gave Violet a deep look and returned. She''s here to thank him? The sun really came out of the west. "I''ve made you a cup of coffee, try it." Violet pursed her lips and brought Louis a cup of coffee. Louis'' eyes twitched as he took a sip of his coffee. "Does it taste okay?" Violet tried. "It''s a little bitter." Louis put his coffee cup down and pressed a smile to the corner of his mouth. She made him coffee herself? And really came to thank him? "Sorry, so why don''t I go make you a new cup?" "It''s not necessary, just have an orange." The coffee wasn''t bitter, but since she hade to thank him, he had to find a reason to let her serve herself. Louis opened the file and began to approve it. Chapter 344 Chapter 344 Violet hastily peeled a few oranges and put them on a te. "Mr. Johnson, you eat the oranges." Louis didn''t look up, and the movement of his hands didn''t stop. Just a burst of thin lips, "Got eyesight? Can''t you see I''m busy?" Violet froze, not responding for a moment. Louis saw that she did not understand his meaning, the movement of his hands slightly paused. "What, you''re just standing around?" So, he meant that she should feed him? It seems a bit intimate! Violet looked at his thin lips, then at the oranges, and after a moment, picked up two cloves of oranges and brought them into his mouth. He is her savior, she just don''t think nonsense. The man''s thin lips ate the orange she handed over, the sexy knot of his throat sliding up and down from swallowing. Sexy and manly. Violet stared at his lips, and some juvenile images suddenly shed through her mind. She swallowed unconsciously, and her face burned uncontrobly. "Greedy?" Louis'' maic voice suddenly sounded, sweeping over with a hint of deep meaning in his gaze. "Huh? I don''t have ......" Violet was startled, her big pretty eyes twinkled for a moment, with a sense of embarrassment at having her secret spied on. The corners of Louis'' mouth are hooked in a usible smile, and his deep eyes are full of meaning. "Ahem, eat the orange." Violet hurriedly shoved another orange clove into his mouth. Louis chewed slowly, his eyes fixed on Violet for a moment, admiring the growing blush on her pretty face. At that moment, there was a knock on the door and Harry walked in with Erin and Luka. Violet let out a long breath and just felt like she had finallye to life. "Mommy, Uncle Louis!" Erin, with a look of excitement on her face, came running happily towards the two. Luka''s eyes also shone brightly as she ran after Erin to the two men. Luka''s eyes also shone brightly as she ran after Erin to the two men. Suddenly ran in a few light bulbs, Louis heart although a little regret, but still smiled and hugged Erin. "Erin, school''s out?" "Yeah, yeah." Erin smiled cheekily and hugged Louis with a bang. Louis'' eyebrows softened as he reached out and rubbed her little head, listening to her gibberish. "Auntie Violet." Luka walks to Violet''s feet and looks up to call her. Violet squatted down and rubbed his little head, smiling, "Luka, it''s been a long time, you''ve grown taller than Erin already! You must not be a picky eater, right?" Hearing these words, Luka slightly straightened her small body with a proud face. Erin, who was being held by Louis, tilted her little head and hurriedly said, "Mommy, Erin usually isn''t a picky eater, she didn''t give Luka the chicken leg that she couldn''t eat!" Violet: "......" Why did she give birth to such a silly little girl? "Well, Mommy, hehehe!" The little one realized that he had said the wrong thing when he finished speaking, and then he was crooked in the nook of Louis'' neck, covering his mouth andughing. Louis couldn''t help but smile softly, his eyebrows filled with softness. Harry looked at this scene of unity and joy, slightly lowering his eyes to hide the feeling of guilt in his eyes. At that moment, his phone beeped and a message came in. He picked it up and nced at it, his fingers clenching. "Mr. Johnson, is there anything else? If there''s nothing else, I''d like to leave work first." Louis nced at him with a glint of surprise in his eyes. Harry, his special assistant, is notoriously dedicated to his work and never leaves work on time, but is always on call. But these two days always go early. Is he in love? "It''s okay, you''re off duty." Louis, who has no penchant for prying into the private affairs of others, signaled him off. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Harry moved his lips, finally said nothing, and Violet a slight nod, then turned and stride away. Chapter 345 Chapter 345 "Erin, are you hungry?" Louis waited for Harry to leave and inquired. "Well, is Uncle Louis buying dinner for dinner?" Erin cocked her head and her big eyes shed. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Yes." Louis raised an eyebrow and looked over at Violet. Violet hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mr. Johnson, it''s better for me to be the host today." Although I don''t really want to stay with Louis, I said I wanted to thank him, so this meal is on her. "Let''s go." Louis is nomittal and carries Erin outside. Erin hugged his neck and said in a milky voice, "Uncle Louis, it''s hard for Mommy to raise Erin, so you should treat her to dinner." Louis: "......" What a sweet little cotton coat, how good it would be if he had a daughter like that. "Well, Daddy, you''re a man, and a man can''t let a woman treat him." Luka took Violet''s hand and chimed in with a serious smile. Louis: "......" So what''s the point of raising a son? Do your best to turn your elbows out. Violet''s heart was warmed and touched by the sound of the two children''s milk voices, and the corners of her mouth turned up. "Violet, don''t hold it in so hard,ugh out loud when you''re pleased." Louis stepped into the elevator and burst out with a cool swish. Louis is jealous! Violet took Luka and followed her inside and said to the little one, "Luka, do you feel that someone is jealous of me?" Jealous? Luka''s eyes shed with a hint of doubt. Not really! Violet stifled augh and pushed him toward Louis, "Look at the look on your dad''s face." Luka''s dark eyes blinked, and it took a long time to respond. He grinned at once. "Was it fun?" Louis'' eyes cast a cool nce at the two men. Luka and Violet nodded their heads at the same time. The two smiling people are indescribably simr. The mother and son are instantly recognizable. Louis eyes heart moved, heart softened a few points. Just thinking about Violet''s rejection of himself, he hugged Erin and didn''t say another word. He waited until Violet was impressed by her other identity, and then he would let her be the mother of his son! "Mommy, Uncle Louis smells just as good as you do." Erin was being held by Louis and her little nose was arching and arching on Louis'' body. Violet couldn''t help butugh softly. She nced at Louis''s handsome face and said, "Yes, Uncle Louis smells good." His body smells good? Louis nced at the woman with a smiling brow and hooked his lips, "Violet, so I smell good?" Violet: "......" She just said it in passing, how to his mouth, there is another meaning? It''s like, she''s obsessed with his body. The four men arrived at a high-end restaurant. Once inside, with the waiter''s guidance, the four of them prepared to go to the private room. Passing around the corner, Violet inadvertently nced at the two people not far away, could not help but step. It''s Isaac and a girl. The two were about to enter the private room when the girl pulled Isaac and stood on tiptoe to re-tie his tie for him. A girl tying a tie for a boy? Is this behavior too intimate? Chapter 346 Chapter 346 Violet''s eyebrows unconsciously wrinkled. Too far away, she could not see the woman''s face, but always felt that the girl looked at Isaac with a light in her eyes. She trusts Isaac''s character and is not a man who eats from the bowl and looks at the pot. But he is undoubtedly excellent, there is no guarantee that there are other women who are thinking about him. "Auntie Violet, it''s time for us to go inside." Luka saw Violet standing still in the doorway of the booth and pulled her hand. Violet returned to her senses, smiled in response, and went into the booth with the little one. When she gets back to the store, she''ll ask Evie about Isaac. ...... An upscale neighborhood in the eastern suburbs. Harry pulled out his keys and opened the door, and the sound of utensils falling to the floor could be heard from the duplex. Harry''s heart clenched and he ran in stride towards the stairs. "Nina, don''t be afraid, I''ming." Harry pushed open the bedroom door and grabbed Nina, who was wrestling with the utensils, in his arms. The woman''s body was trembling lightly and her hair was covered in sweat stains. "Harry, I''m ufortable, I can''t stand it!" Nina''s hand deadpanned Harry''s hand, then fiercely put it to her lips and bit into it. Harry closed his eyes and let Nina bite him without saying a word. The smell of blood seemed toe from the tip of her nose, and Harry, heartbroken and in pain, kept reassuring her. "It''s okay, Nina, you''re great, you''ll get through it with me by your side." Nina''s tears zed down, and she slowly let go of Harry''s hand, her face as pale as paper. "Harry, am I ruined? Oooh, I''m hard." Harry knew her addiction had passed, and he couldn''t be bothered to check the injuries on his hands as he settled her on the couch. "Nina, don''t be afraid, just bear with it a little longer and it will all go away." Nina''s lips were so dry that they buckled, and her haggard appearance was not the same as that of a delicate youngdy. She met Harry''s gentle gaze and her eyes slowly fell to his hands. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. The man''s tiger mouth has long been drenched in blood, which shows just how deep her bite was. Nina''s tears flowed even harder. "Harry, I was wrong, I shouldn''t have been wilful and presumptuous, I was exploited and became addicted to drugs. When I get better, I will definitely not think about Louis anymore, will you dislike me?" Harry''s heart seemed to be flowing with something that made his heart flutter. He pressed all his emotions, held her tightly with one hand and wiped away her tears with the other. "Nina, how could I possibly dislike you? As long as you are well, you will always be the woman I want to put on the tip of my heart and spoil." She finally relented and was finally able to let go of her obsession with Louis and be with herself. Is this a blessing in disguise for him? "Harry." Nina choked up and threw herself into Harry''s arms. Harry embraced her with a slight sigh in his heart and closed his eyes. It was a hijacking for her. The good thing is that her symptoms are mild and as long as she can get through them, then she will be fine. After this incident, he may no longer be able to be the Assistant Harry of The Johnson Group. Because he betrayed Louis. Harry sighed in his heart. At that moment, his cell phone rang. Harry patted Nina''s spine and helped her into bed to get some rest. He then exited his bedroom door and pulled out his phone to look at it. It was a call from Marcus. Harry grimaced, walked to the window and picked up the phone. "Hello?" " Assistant Harry, have you done what you were told to do?" Marcus''szy voice came over the current. Harry tightened his grip on the phone, "Where''s Nina''s picture?" "Don''t rush, you always have to show me sincerity before I can give you all the photos, right?" Marcus Harry had a taut face and a cold voice, "I''ll email you what you want right away, and please keep your promise to delete all of Nina''s photos. Otherwise, I will definitely kill you!" Chapter 347 Chapter 347 Harry hung up the phone after he finished. He then clicked on a document and hesitated, but sent it to Marcus. Mr. Johnson, Miss Elliott, sorry about that! Harry had a sh of apology in his eyes. Marcus threatens him with Nina''s reputation, and he has no choice but to give Marcus the plot to work with Infinity Tech Company. At the same time, he is going to put the me on Violet again at the request of Marcus. That''s why he made the excuse to keep Violet in the president''s office. When the incident urred, the most suspicious person remained Violet. He just didn''t expect that Violet would also be at Azure Club yesterday. Perhaps after the east window, with Louis and Violet''s intelligence, they will soon find out the truth. When the timees, they will surelye up with a countermeasure. Harry let out a sigh, put the phone away and turned into the bedroom. Upscale restaurant. Louis and Violet sneezed at the same time. The two men looked at each other and both averted their eyes at the same time. "Mommy, Uncle Louis, did you two say you were going to sneeze?" Erin asked with a big smile on her face when she had almost finished eating. "Sister, it''s called having a heart." Luka chimed in with a serious voice. Violet was a little ufortable and hurriedly gave the two kids some food, "You two eat." Louis just happened to be holding the same dish, and the two pairs of chopsticks clinked together. "Hee hee, brother, Mommy and Uncle Louis are so in tune with each other." Erin''s small hands covered her mouth and her big eyes kept darting over the two. Luka hmmed and nodded like a small adult. Violet''s old face reddened and she busily withdrew her chopsticks. "Have you two eaten? Let''s go when you''re done eating." These two little naughty boys, who taught them to sing in unison? Don''t know how to spell the word embarrassed? "Mommy, I''m not full yet, I want to eat again." Candy blinked her big eyes and burped just as she finished the sentence. She was so embarrassed that she quickly covered her mouth with her hand. Violet looked at her and said with amusement, "You''re still not full? You''ve already eaten until you''re full and burped!" "Well, Mommy, I just want to spend more time with Uncle Louis." Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Erin''s white and tender little hand dropped and milked the words. Violet choked and stared at her a little breathlessly. This child, actually this mind? She''s a little jealous, okay? Louis'' heart was about to melt. He touched the little milk bag and looked at Violet again with a sh of displeasure in his eyes. Some people, what an ipetent pro-mother. Knowing my daughter''s preference, I continued to do what I did. Too much! He waited for her to throw herself at himter! "Erin, you can''t hold on when you''re full. If you want to see Uncle Louis in the future, just call Uncle Louis, whose phone is always avable for you." Louis held the little one on hisp and whispered softly. "Uh-huh, Uncle Louis, I''ll remember that." The little one nodded vigorously, his big ck grape-like eyes full of light. Violet silently took a sip of tea and put her left ear in and right ear out of what she just said. The daughter likes Louis again, she will not be able to cross paths with him in her life. Because they not only identity status does not match, and Louis''s emotional world, too impure. A scene from the hotel suddenly shed in my mind. She was curious to know who Louis'' new love was now. "Auntie Violet, if I want to see you, can I call you?" Not to be outdone, Luka looked to Violet and asked. Violet returned to her senses and her heart suddenly softened. "Sure." She can reject Louis with desperation, but she can''t bear to reject the request of the little milk bag at all. Luka pursed her lips and gave Louis a look, her spine straightening slightly. Louis touched his dark eyes and inexplicably felt his son''s smugness. Chapter 348 Chapter 348 It''s like saying, "Look, Auntie Violet likes him better. Bears! A meal was finally finished. Louis and his son watched Violet leave with his daughter in the car. "Dad, you like Auntie Violet, right?" Coldly, Luka suddenly burst out a sentence. Louis lowered his eyes to his and raised an eyebrow nomittally. "I can see that you''re only happy with Auntie Violet." Luka moved her little mouth, "Then you can marry her." It was the first time his son had ever said such a thing to him. Louis was a bit surprised and expected. Because the son has always liked Violet, the rtionship with Grace is rather weak. Maybe it was meant to be. Louis hooked his lips, picked him up and shoved him into the car. "Dad, why don''t you say something?" "Say what?" "Say you''ll marry Auntie Violet!" "There''s no rush." "Dad, tell me quickly, will you marry Auntie Violet?" "Hmm? Why are you in more of a hurry than I am?" "Dad!" "......" Violet drove Erin back to the store. She left her daughter to her own devices while she went into the cake room to find Evie. Evie is checking the ingredients. A sweet smile spreads across a clear little face. Violet thought of the scene she saw in the restaurant, her red lips pursed. "Evie." "Sis, something''s wrong." Evie asked with a smile as she straightened up. "Nothing major, just wanted to ask you if you had a date with Isaac in the past two days." Violet smoothed her hair around her ears and asked, pretending to be casual. "Sis, Isaac''s store just opened and he''s busy taking business, so how can he have time to date?" Evie smiled shyly. "So, have you discussed when you will get married? I''m still waiting to drink your wedding wine!" Violet asked with a smile. Isaac''s constructionpany just opened, could the girl he was just with be one of his employees? I hope she is too sensitive. "Sister, what are you doing? I''m not marrying anyone!" Evie pouted ufortably. Violet curled her lips and pulled her overalls off. "Okay, don''t be busy today, hurry up and call your boyfriend and ask him to pick you up for a date." Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. "Sis!" "Are you going to fight? If you don''t call I''ll call Isaac." Violet pulls out her cell phone and makes a move to call Isaac. "Fine, can''t I fight it myself?" Evie smiled delicately and pulled out her cell phone to call Isaac. The phone rang for a long time and was finally picked up. Evie was about to speak, but a delicate female voice came from inside. "Hello?" The smile on Evie''s face narrowed slightly, "Who are you and where''s Isaac?" "Isaac, he''s drunk, I''ll have him call you backter." The woman returned the question. Evie''s eyebrows furrowed and her smile disappearedpletely. "Isaac where is he now?" "He''s at home." Isaac at home? And brought a woman home? Chapter 349 Chapter 349 Evie gripped her phone tightly, a sh of disbelief in her eyes. She hung up the phone and looked over at Violet. "Sister, I''ll go first." She does trust Isaac''s character. What was going on with this woman, she had to figure out for herself. "Miss Helena, what are you looking at?" Natalie came down from the stairs with her bag on her back. Violet''s eyes withdrew from Evie''s body and curled her lips. "Nothing, you''re getting off work?" "Well nah. But Miss Helena, if you want me to stay and workte, it''s not impossible." Natalie smiled cheekily. "No, just go back." Violet curled her lips and turned to go upstairs. Natalie watched her back with fascination and turned her head to look out the window. On the side of the road, Evie called a car and just got in. Natalie''s almond eyes shed as she pulled out her phone and sent out a message. "Sister, where are you?" "......" Single apartment. Evie stood in front of the door and rang the doorbell. It didn''t take long for the door to be opened. Standing in front of her was a girl. A head of wet hair draped over the shoulders. The body is wearing a white shirt, which can cover the girl''s buttocks, revealing two long, thin legs. Isaac''s apartment actually has a woman in it! And had showered and was wearing his white shirt. Evie''s grip on the bag strap suddenly tightened and her gaze went cold. Without a word, she straightened her spine and walked straight past the woman, striding in. "Isaac?" The woman behind her eyes flickered slightly, raising her hand to lift the hair around her ear, smiling meaningfully. "You''re Miss Williams, right? Isaac, he''s drunk and sleeping in his room, so keep your voice down and don''t wake him up." The woman raised her chin slightly and spoke as if she were the mistress of the ce. Evie turned around abruptly, her pretty face tense, "So, who the hell are you? Why are you dressed like this?" "My name is Dolly Stewart, I went to high school with Isaac and am now also his personal secretary." Dolly smiled slightly, "We just went to a drinking party and he got drunk and puked all over my clothes, so I borrowed his bathroom to take a shower." It turned out to be Isaac''s secretary. Isaac, so affectionate! Evie pursed her red lips and said, "So it''s Isaac''s employee?Miss Stewart, since you know who I am, then you should know that Isaac and I will be getting married soon." Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "I want to remind you that an employee should be like an employee, I hope you know your own identity, abide by your own duties and don''t think of yourself as the mistress here. Now, please change your clothes and leave this ce. Don''t let me see such things happen again in the future." She''s not stupid either, this woman must be coveting Isaac. I just don''t know what Isaac''s attitude is again. Dolly looked at Evie for two seconds and smiled abruptly. "Miss Williams, just now Isaac called out Violet when he was asleep. is that, is that your nickname?" Violet! Isaac is calling his sister''s name while he''s asleep! Evie''s fingers tugged tight and her breasts rose and fell slightly. Dollyughed mockingly, turned into the bathroom, and changed out of her shirt. When she left, Evie was still standing in the same ce. Only after a long time, she slowly unscrewed the bedroom door and walked in. Chapter 350 Chapter 350 The man on the bed was sleeping soundly, and his eyebrows were still as warm as jade. Evie sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to gently stroke his face, a hint of sadness shing in her eyes. Isaac, when are you going to love me as much as you love your sister? ...... The following day. There is a news story circting on the Inte. Someone posted the footage of Alisha and Sia mingling in the styling studio yesterday. For a while, the topic of the original spouse and the mistress has been hotly debated again. "This Alisha I remember, isn''t she the rich wife who was looking for a male prostitute at the club two days ago?" "No wonder she went to a male prostitute, because her husband cheated on her and lusted for it ah." "It seems she''s a poor person, too." "Alisha is a poor person? Are the people upstairs the sailors Alisha hired? How can a mistress have the face to win sympathy?" "Isn''t it? Junior should have expected such a situation when he was able to rise to the top." "......" The general public is buzzing about it. Josie''s apartment, Josie shows the news to Violet who is making breakfast. "Violet, check out the news, Alisha is back on the Hot 100." Violet served the fried eggs out of the pan, nced sideways and gently curled her lips. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "I think Alisha must be furious now, it''s called the evil one." When she stole her aunt''s man, did she ever think that some yearster, she would experience someone else''s pain once? Serves you right! "Violet, you probably don''t know that there''s a little more to it than that." Josie helped Violet bring breakfast to the table. "What tidbit?" Violet asked curiously. "It was Austin who told me that Louis learned that Alisha was out on bail and decided to teach her a little more for you. So he instructed Austin to help Miller find a woman to make a mess of the Williams family. violet, Louis is really into your business." Josie tells Violet what she knows. Violet simply ignored thest sentence and asked with some surprise, "So, that Sia was the one Austin found for Miller?" "That''s not true." Josie ruffled the big waves around her ears, "Austin said he received an order from someone and nned to follow it. It was only after he checked Miller''s connections that he found out that Miller wasn''t at all easy to deal with, and that he''d already been in secret with that Sia. It saved him a little trouble." So that''s it! It is true that men, ah, once unfaithful, a hundred times not allowed. Violet shook her head, and Louis'' figure shed suddenly in her mind. She unconsciously murmured, "Josie, do you think men can''t control their lower bodies?" Hearing this, Josie skimmed her lips, "Who says it''s not? In our side, I see that except Isaac is a good man, the rest of the nine out of ten are not good things. So, it''s better not to give too much of your heart to men, lest you end up hurting yourself." Josie was probably thinking about her marriage when she said such a thing. Violet pursed her lips, some regret that she shouldn''t have sent out her feelings indiscriminately, causing her best friend to resonate with her fear of marriage. There are still good men out there. She still looks good at Austin. "Well, I''ll go get Erin up, so you can eat your breakfast." Violet digressed. "Well, it''s better to have my Violet!" Josie sat down and took a sip of milk, "Violet, let''s make a deal, no one will get married and live like this for the rest of our lives." "Ch, I don''t know who it was, but the other day they kept giving me hints to marry someone." "Who is it? So annoying? Tell me and I''ll go beat her up." "Some woman who is acting crazy." "......" Violet returned to the store after dropping off her daughter and saw Evie sampling the baked pastries. Her face was a little haggard and she didn''t look happy. Chapter 351 Chapter 351 "Evie, what''s wrong with you? Didn''t sleep wellst night? Look so bad?" Violet walked up to Evie and asked with concern. "Sis, I''m fine." Evie gave her a look and forced a smile. How does this look like nothing is wrong? Violet said, "Talk to me, what''s going on?" Evie put all the bread that should be out of the sample, silently said: "Yesterday I went to Isaac, and met a woman in his house ......" Violet listened quietly, her brow furrowed slightly. The scene that I saw in the restaurant shed in my mind. I think the woman she saw was the Dolly Evie was talking about. That woman was wearing an Isaac shirt? It seems that she is not a saving grace. "Evie, where is Isaac now? What''s his attitude towards Dolly?" When Evie finished, Violet inquired. "When I woke up this morning, Isaac had already gone to the office and I didn''t get to talk to him." Evie nced at Violet and lowered her eyes slightly. She didn''t say what Dolly said about Isaac calling Violet''s name when he was asleep. Fear of Violet''s embarrassment. Isaac likes Violet, and she''s always known it. So she''s not jealous of Violet, she just has a little bit of a hard time with it. "Evie, are you and Isaac together already?" Violet asked tentatively. Evie blushed and shook her head, "No, I would have stayed in his apartment yesterday because he was drunk and I was afraid he would wake up in the middle of the night ufortable, that''s why I didn''t leave." Violet smiled and took her small hand in hers. "Evie, Isaac is recognized as a good man, he is not a double-minded person. It''s just that he has opened apany, so he can''t avoid socializing in the future, and he''s a good person, so he''s bound to have a lot of girls around him. You have to grasp the degree, when the reminder to remind, the release when the release. Of course, trust is the most important thing." Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Emotional matters, the next person can not make the decision for the person concerned. So she can only stand on the sidelines and analyze it objectively. Hopefully, this won''t drive a wedge between her and Isaac. "Sister, I know." Evie listened in, smiled, and nodded. Her greatest wish in life was to be Isaac''s bride. Now that he has said he wants to marry her, she is already happy. As long as one does not expect too much, one will not be disappointed. So, she can''t let her mind fall apart because of a Dolly''s words. "Then you go ahead and get busy, I''m going to get busy too." Violet was slightly relieved to see that Evie looked much more relieved. Just thinking about that Dolly, she thought, when she had the chance someday, she must bark a few words at Isaac. ...... the Williams Manor. Miller stayed out all night, taking care of Sia in the hospital. Alisha was so angry that she smashed again. She also saw the video circting online. As the victim of this incident, the onlinements are not many sympathetic to her, but all are calling her deserving. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood! Chapter 352 Chapter 352 No, she couldn''t just leave it at that. She''s going to Miller to set the record straight! Alisha changed her outfit and got out of her bedroom door and was ready to go out. I ran into Nancy head-on. Seeing Alisha''s angry look, Nancy asked, "Mom, where are you going early in the morning?" "I''m going to the hospital to find your dad and the coquette." Alisha walked down the stairs and asked, "Daughter, are youing with me?" Nancy just felt upset, "Mom, with things like this, we''ve all be theughing stock of Crotosi City, can you and Dad just stop?" "Daughter, is it me who refuses to stop? It''s your father who wants to repudiate me now!" Alisha said in exasperation, "All right, if you''re not going to go with me, you''re not going to go with me, I''ll go ande back." Watching Alisha leave in a huff, Nancy Wu looked annoyed. With a family like hers, would she still be able to marry David? She has to make a career to be worthy of him! Therefore, she must win the Gambiered Silk Design Contest next month and stand out from the rest. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. ...... Hospital. Alisha found the senior ward where Sia was staying. Watching Miller serve tea and water to Sia, shushing and warming her, serving Siafortably, she was so angry that her chest hurt. The old thing, like a grandfather at home, it was she who served him. When you get to the bitch, you are ying the grandson! Alisha pinged the door and pushed in, ring angrily at the two men. "Yikes, Miller, that scared the hell out of me." Sia saw Alisha, rolled her eyes, pretended to be startled and shrank into Miller''s arms. Miller hurriedly wrapped his arms around her, softly and soothingly, and scowled at Alisha. "Alisha, get the hell out of here! A fierce look, who do you want to be fierce to?" Hearing this, Alisha gasped, "Miller, tell me, have you and this woman been having an affair for a long time? Are you ashamed of me? I was framed by Violet, how can you still curse?" "What''s wrong with me scolding you? For the ugly things you did, it''s light for me to scold you. If you were put in ancient times, you would have been dipped in a pig cage!" Miller said in a cold voice: "Besides, you don''t pretend. I''m not sure if you''re a woman of honor, but Sia was a virgin when she was with me, but you? You''re not an innocent woman anymore?" She only had one boyfriend when she was young! Alisha''s face alternated between blue and white, "Miller, be a man of conscience. What do you really want now? Do you really want to divorce me?" "Do I look like I''m joking with you?" Miller''s face was grim. "You''re going to divorce me just for this bitch of hers?" Alisha pointed at Sia, "Miller, even if you don''t think about me, you have to think about your daughter. My daughter has been the pride of our family since she was a little girl, and you divorced me to make my daughter be pointed at all day long and not be able to hold her head up when she walks out?" Hearing this, Miller frowned, momentarily speechless. He doesn''t have much affection for Alisha anymore, but his daughter is the one he grew up holding in his heart. He certainly did not want her to be aggrieved. Seeing that Miller hesitated, Sia''s eyes rolled and she covered her belly and said, "Miller, my stomach is a little upset." Hearing this, Miller returned to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Why are you ufortable again? I''ll call the doctor to take a look." "It''s fine, probably because I was just scared." Sia has a soft face and her eyes flicker to Alisha from time to time. Alisha couldn''t see her acting like a pretender, and immediately said angrily, "Little bitch, don''t act like a pretender, or I''ll tear you up." When she heard this, Sia pretended to be aggrieved: "Alisha, please be kind to us. Miller doesn''t have a son, so if you hurt my baby, you want Miller to have no son to inherit the family business?" Chapter 353 Chapter 353 "You ......" "Yes, Alisha, don''t you dare try to spill your guts here?" Miller interrupted Alisha, "The fortune teller said that I have a son in my destiny, and Sia is definitely carrying a son this time. You should get out of my sight. A daughter is a loser. I''ll just have a son to take care of me in the future." Hearing this, Alisha was so angry that she almost gritted her fine teeth. When she met Sia''s provocative and smug eyes, she wanted to tear her apart. Miller himself is patriarchal and has always looked forward to having a son in his heart. Sia, the little bitch, must have known what he was thinking and that''s why she used some fortune teller to fool him. Pissed off! "Miller, you''re going to regret this." Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Alisha took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and burst out, then turned to leave. Little bitch wants to have Miller''s son? Let her becent for a while. She has ways to keep her from seeing the sun tomorrow! Alisha exited the ward door, mming it with a ping. She took the elevator to the first floor and without a nce, she saw Rosalie apanying Jasmine out of another elevator. She took a step to meet them. "Mrs. Johnson." "Mrs. Williams." Rosalie also saw Alisha and stood in front of her. "Why did Mrs. Johnsone to the hospital? Is Miss Johnson not feeling well?" Alisha surveyed Rosalie''s mother and daughter and, seeing Jasmine looking a bit wan, asked. "Yeah, she''s a little sick, so I brought her to the hospital to check it out." Rosalie''s eyes flickered slightly, unwilling to talk more about this topic, and changed the subject. "What about you? What brought you to the hospital? Oh, I see, is that mistress in the hospital?" Hearing this, Alisha''s face was a little ugly. Rosalie looked at her and said, "Mrs. Williams, I''ve seen all the news, there are really a lot of shameless women out there in this world today." She paused and said, "It was just a small thing, and I used some connections to help you keep the news down. But I think there is a force that has been pushing the news to the top. At these words, Alisha''s eyes were filled with surprise and anger. "Mrs. Johnson, did you really press the news for me?" "Of course, do you still not believe me?" Rosalie sighed, "You and I share the same fate, both have offended Violet, both have not fallen in favor. All right, think about it yourself, I''ll go back with my daughter." She certainly could not press the news for a mob. But it''s just a passingment to make her hold a grudge against Violet even more. It''s best if Alisha gets Violet killed in a fit of anger, then she can use the knife to kill someone. Rosalie, with a sneer in her heart, helped the ever-sickly Jasmine into The Johnson Family''s car. Closing the car door, she looked to Jasmine, "Jasmine, you''re pregnant, this baby count the months, is it Marcus''?" Jasmine has been dry heaving for the past two days. So she apanied her to the hospital for a checkup. I didn''t expect Jasmine to be pregnant. Now all that needs to be determined is whether the child is Marcus'' or not. If so, that''s fine. "Mom, this baby is definitely Marcus''. I''m going to tell him about it and ask him to marry me." Jasmine suppressed the nausea in her heart, and although she looked sickly, she could not hide her excitement. During this time, Marcus has been ignoring her. She was worried about how to get him to stop being angry. I didn''t realize she was pregnant. This was the result she had always wanted. As long as she is pregnant with Marcus''s child, then she can marry into the Su family. Chapter 354 Chapter 354 Rosalie moved her lips and hesitantly said, "Jasmine, are you sure the baby is Marcus''? In case it''s not ......" Jasmine is just over a month pregnant. This month is a bit awkward. Because not only did she have sex with Marcus, she also had sex with Oscar during this time. It is still something that is known to all. "Mom, this baby is definitely Marcus'', it can''t be anyone else''s, I''m calling Marcus right now." Jasmine got anxious and pulled out her cell phone and dialed Marcus'' number. Rosalie opened her mouth, but ultimately did not speak. After a few rings, the phone was finally answered. "Hello?" "Marcus, it''s me, I''m pregnant, and the baby is yours." Jasmine spoke sharply. On the other end of the phone, Marcus is celebrating with Grace in his luxury suite at the Soho Hotel Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. because he is overjoyed with the partnership proposal Harry sent him regarding Infinity Tech Company. Hearing this, he sat up straight and stayed and stayed. He snickered, "My baby? Jasmine, are you sure the baby in your belly is mine? Everyone knows that you had a night with Oscar." On one side, Grace''s eyebrows were raised and her long, slender fingers were stroking Marcus''s breasts. Hearing Marcus''s words, the movement of her hands jerked to a halt with a look of disbelief. Jasmine is pregnant! It''s Marcus''! If this is true, then wouldn''t the position of mistress of the Su family be Jasmine''s? "Marcus, I counted the minutes and this baby is definitely yours! Don''t you believe me." Jasmine said hurriedly. Marcus pulls away from Grace''s hand and picks up a cigarette, gesturing for Grace to light it for him. He then got up and walked to the window, took a deep puff and exhaled a greenish-white smoke ring. "If you say it''s mine, it''s mine? This can''t be told. How about this, wait for three months, you do an amniocentesis, if this child is mine, then I will admit it." Hearing this, Jasmine lit up, "Marcus, the baby must be yours, so do you want to marry me?" Marcus took a deep puff on his cigarette and the corners of his mouth curled up in mockery, but his mouth said, "If the child is mine and you are the mother, of course I will be responsible for you." "Marcus, the baby must be yours, I can remember that, you are responsible for me." Jasmine said in a delicate voice. "Good, then we''ll wait for the results together." Marcus hung up the phone after he finished. Grace listened to a general overview and her face changed and changed. "Marcus, are you really going to marry Jasmine?" If he married Jasmine, what would she do? "Grace, take it easy, I''m just stabilizing her first." Marcus'' eyes shed and he wrapped his arms around her. "Think about it, with that broken shoe of hers, how could I possibly marry her? I just thought having her as a bargaining chip would give me a better chance of annexing The Johnson Group." Hearing this, Grace''s heart wasn''t solid. "But what if what Jasmine is carrying in her belly is really your baby?" So will Jasmine be a mother and a son? "If she is really carrying my seed in her belly, then I will marry her first and let her give birth to the child before I find an opportunity to repudiate her." Marcus''s eyes were full of calction, "By then, not only will I have a queen, but maybe The Johnson Group will also be in my pocket." He still wants to marry her! How can this be! Once Marcus marries Jasmine, it''s impossible to say what will happen after that! Grace didn''t say anything, just tugged her fingers unconsciously. There''s no way she''s going to let Marcus marry Jasmine. If the baby Jasmine is carrying is really Marcus''s, she must find a way to get rid of him! Chapter 355 Chapter 355 Jasmine hung up the phone, a little excited. "Mom, did you hear that? Marcus said he wanted to marry me." Rosalie frowned, "I heard that, but he said to wait three months." "Just wait three months, I''m sure anyway, the baby is his." Jasmine said delicately, rubbing her non-pregnant belly. Rosalie nced at the small of her back, "That said, what is it to make you wait three months? It''s a humiliation for you. No, let mom think about it, she must make him marry you as soon as possible." Hearing these words, Jasmine bit her lip, her eyes full of hate. "me it on Violet''s gang! If it weren''t for them, I wouldn''t have made a scandal. Marcus would have married me without saying a word if I was pregnant. Mom, I can''t wait to get Violet killed." But isn''t it! I wish Alisha would get her killed. Rosalie agreed in her heart and reassured Jasmine with her mouth. "Well, don''t think so much about it now, just get well." "Well, Mom, what do you think should be done to get Marcus to marry me sooner?" "You let Mom think about it." "......" RW Styling Studio. Several newly recruited employees are modeling for each other and practicing applying makeup to people. Violet is pointing it out herself. "Natalie, you''re not doing this right, look at my hand, it needs to be like this ......" Violet walked up to Natalie, saw that she was not very skilled, took the makeup tools from her hand and then started to apply makeup to the model. Natalie looked at her side face with fascination and couldn''t help but murmur, "Miss Helena, you''re so beautiful." Violet''s hands moved a little, and her eyebrows wrinkled unnoticeably. When he looked up, he met Natalie''s eager almond eyes. This look ...... "Ah, Miss Helena, I mean, women who are serious about their careers are the most beautiful. That, let me do it again, do you see if I''m doing it right?" Natalie''s almond eyes shed and her expression instantly returned to normal. Violet curled her lips, suppressing the strange feeling inside, and watched Natalie apply her makeup. "She has a slightly protruding brow bone, and when you draw eyeliner, you can trace the eyeliner from Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. the root of the upper and lowershes and then slowly smudge it outward ......" Violet saw that her posture was not right and simply held her hand to demonstrate. Natalie''s eyes were full ofughter. That''s when Brooklyn arrived. "Helena." Hearing the shout, Violet let go of Natalie and looked toward Brooklyn. "Brooklyn, what brings you here?" Brooklyn shook his hand carrying a thermos, "My mother heard that you were a little frightened, specially boiled some soup, I had to bring you to drink, said that you pressed the shock." "Yikes, Auntie Blossom is really nice." Violet was somewhat moved. Brooklynughed lightly and without a nce, saw Natalie casting a slightly cold gaze at him. But then she averted her eyes. Brooklyn froze, somewhat confused. "Helena, am I disturbing you?" "No! But I''ve got to go pick up my daughter first." Violet looked at the time and said somewhat apologetically. "Then I''ll go with you." Brooklyn said. Violet hesitated for a moment and nodded. Last time, thanks to Brooklyn''s vignce, she was able to escape from Greyson''s hands in time. She hadn''t thanked him individually. The two headed for the stairway. Brooklyn subconsciously turned around and met Natalie''s hostile gaze again. This look ...... Brooklyn''s eyes twitched slightly and nced at Violet. Violet''s skin is fair and her temperament is clear, she is a beauty. So, not only men like it, but also women like it? The two drove to the entrance of the kindergarten. Chapter 356 Chapter 356 Erin and Luka just happened toe out of the kindergarten. "Mommy." Erin saw Violet and ran towards her happily. Luka''s eyes also shone brightly as she followed. Violet caught Erin and sent her customary two fragrant kisses. Erin smiled cheekily and kissed back. Luka watched the interaction between the two with an envious look on his face, and was rewarded with Violet''s gentle rubbing of his soft hair. "Erin, good afternoon." Brooklyn knew this was Violet''s daughter and greeted her with a smile. Erin blinked her big eyes and smiled, "Hello uncle, I recognize you, you came to mommy''s storest time." "Erin''s got a good memory, uncle hug." Brooklyn softened his voice and picked her up. Erin wrapped her arms around his neck and tilted her little head. "Hee hee, uncle, howe you came with my mommy to pick me up? Are you courting my mommy? Although you are not as good-looking as Uncle Louis, but you are still handsome." Violet: "......" Her silly girl, bullshitting again! "Erin, don''t talk nonsense, Uncle and Mommy are just good friends." Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Erin smiled cheekily, still sizing up Brooklyn. "Erin, how about Uncle taking you to eat something delicious?" Brooklyn just thought the little guy was so soft and cute and funny. "Good, uncle what are you going to take me to eat pinch?" "What do you want to eat, we''ll go eat?" "Then can we go to the old grandfather''s store to eat?" "What is the old grandfather''s store?" "......" Violet knew that her daughter was talking about KFC and was a little speechless. She said hello to Luka and then followed the two to the car. Luka''s little mouth pursed, looking at the three people about to get on the car, hurriedly from the small school bag took out his small cell phone to take a picture, and then sent it to Louis. "Dad, are you going to marry Auntie Violet or not? If you don''t hurry, she''s going to be chased away!" The Johnson Group. Louis is on the phone with Dominic. "Brother, has your nning project been leaked this time? Because the core points of the nning proposal sent by the Scott Group are almost the same as yours. And, they have made adjustments on the basis of the nning you have done, and for now, their nning is more advantageous." Hearing this, Louis'' brow sank. The n has been leaked again? How did this happen? Could it be that the mole that was not uncoveredst time hacked into theputer again and stole the nning n? "Brother, what do we say now?" Dominic didn''t hear Louis speak and inquired. "Let me think about it for a minute, hang up." Hang up the phone, Louis thin lips tightly pursed, in thinking about the whole thing. At that moment, a message from Luka came to him on his phone. He clicked on it to take a look and his dark eyes instantly narrowed. Brooklyn holds Erin! Violet has Brooklyn with her again. Does she really have a crush on Brooklyn? Associated with the sudden theft of this nning, Louis''s surrounding breath sank. There was a knock on the door and Harry walked in. "Mr. Johnson, these documents need to be signed." Louis did not speak, took the file and flipped it over, his eyebrows full of chill. Harry obviously sensed that Louis was in a bad mood. As he was handing out the documents, he saw the photo on Louis'' phone and his eyes shed. "Mr. Johnson, is something wrong?" Louis was silent and did not hide him. "The plot for Infinity Tech Company has been leaked again." Chapter 357 Chapter 357 At Louis'' words, Harry''s fingers curled up. "Mr. Johnson, the person who handled the nning case during this period of time is except you is me, would you suspect that it is me ......" "It won''t be you." Louis interrupted him tly, "There must have been a mistake in some way." The man''s face is cold, but there is no half-hearted hesitation in his tone. He believes in himself so much. Harry''s slightly downcast eyes shed with a strong apology. "Mr. Johnson,bined with thest nning case leak, I think there is someone suspicious." But no matter how apologetic, he still can only go one way to the ck. "Who?" Louis raised his eyes and looked at Harry. "Violet." "No way." Louis frowned, "She was the one who helped me get a chance to make amends when thest nning case was leaked. If she was the one who started it, she didn''t have to do more than that." "Mr. Johnson, there are no absolutes in everything." Harry said, "Last time was just a small case, what''s more, she was still the subject of suspicion. In Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. order to gain your trust, of course she will find a way to make up for it to get the next chance." Hearing these words, Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly and something shed in his eyes. Harry did not dare to look directly at him, lowered his eyes and said, "Of course, I only specte, the truth is that we will not know until after the investigation." Louis looked at him for a few seconds, then averted his eyes. "You go down first." "Good." The door was closed, Louis''s long fingers tapped the desktop unconsciously, his handsome face was the usual profound and inscrutable, making it impossible to see the end. Halfway through the day, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed Dominic. "Dominic, I remember the Scott Group was recently raising money, backed by Eleaviel''s Fund tycoonMark, right?" "Yes. Louis, you are thinking ......" "Then we''ll take the bull by the horns and choose to work with the Scott Group." Marcus has repeatedly yed dirty tricks, and this time, he''s going to make him eat his own words! Louis'' face was sullen and cold, his eyes fell on his phone as he once again flipped open the message from his son. A few momentster, he picked up his jacket, which was resting on the back of his chair, and struck out of the office. Harry says Violet is a major suspect. He also wanted to ask what Violet was doing. Has she been interacting with Brooklyn a little more this time? Did she really choose to be antagonistic to herself because of Brooklyn? KFC restaurant. "Sorry, Brooklyn, for bringing you to a ce like this that kids like when I said I''d buy you dinner." Violet looked at Brooklyn with an apologetic look on her face. Brooklyn smiled, "Helena, do I look like a foodie to you? It doesn''t matter what you eat, what matters is having fun together. I think the atmosphere here is nice and lively." "Hee hee, Mommy, I want a big chicken leg and a big burger." Erin looked at the food at the neighboring table and gulped. "Mumma, Mumma will order right away." Violet dotingly pinched her little cheeks. "I''ll order it." Brooklyn pulled out her phone and ordered. "No, no, no, it''s on me." "Helena, don''t be polite to me, I''ll buy Erin something this time, and next time you''ll buy me a big dinner." "......" At that moment, Luka approached. "Auntie Violet, Erin." "Luka, you''re here too!" Erin called out crisply in delight. Surprised, Violet looked behind him, "Luka, you came alone?" "The driver uncle sent me here, can I sit with you?" Luka replied back. So, the little one is following them? Violet blinked and carried him to a side chair. "Sure, what do you want to eat, Auntie Violet will get it." "I haven''t eaten here." Chapter 358 Chapter 358 Luka licked her little mouth unconsciously and looked at the big chicken leg on top of the neighboring table, only to find the aroma tempting. "Then I''ll order you the same kids'' package as Erin." Brooklyn nced at Luka and smiled. Luka pursed her small mouth and looked at him with unfriendly eyes. He followed him here to keep an eye on Auntie Violet and this strange man. Gotta watch Auntie Violet for Dad. Why isn''t Dad here yet? "Helena, this little friend is ......" Brooklyn was no fool and clearly sensed Luka''s hostility towards him. "My name is Luka, and my dad is Louis." Luka said stiffly without waiting for Violet to say anything. So it''s Louis'' son! No wonder he looked at himself so unfriendly. It dawned on Brooklyn, and it was funny. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. It seems like the kid should really like Violet. Afraid someone will steal Violet away from his father! But he remembered that the child had a biological mother, right? So, this Violet not only like men, women like, but also like children ah! What an angel to behold. "Hee hee, Luka, why did youe along? Are you afraid my mommy will be snatched by Uncle Brooklyn?" Erin moved closer to Luka and nibbled on his ear. Luka nced at Violet, pursed her lips and nodded slightly. Auntie Violet is too much of a steal, how could Dad be so ineffective! "Hee hee, Mommy said that she and Uncle Brooklyn are just good friends." "Well, I hear you. erin, you like my dad better, right?" "Well nah. I like Uncle Louis better." "I like Auntie Violet, too." "......" The two children''s little heads were tittering together. Violet looked at the two and the corners of her mouth curved. At that moment, the ordered meal was delivered. "You two stop muttering and hurry up and eat." Violet divided the food between the two. "Auntie Violet, you eat." Luka was good enough to pick up a chicken leg and give it to Violet. "Thanks Luka, just leave me alone and eat." Violet took the chicken leg with a soft heart. Watching the two children eat with their mouths full of oil, she tenderly wiped the oil stains off the corners of their mouths, her eyebrows full of smiles. Brooklyn took a sip of coffee and looked at the three in the same frame with a slight twinkle in her eye. Together, these three are really like mother and son! "Mommy, I''m full, I''m going over there to y mess." Erin had almost finished eating and looked at the children''s y area with some impatience. "Okay, be safe." Violet nodded and looked to Luka, "Luka, do you want to go y for a while?" Luka looked at Erin and then at Violet with some hesitation. He wants to go y, but he doesn''t want Auntie Violet to be alone with Brooklyn. So torn. Why hasn''t Dade yet? "Luka, hurry up and go y." Erin doesn''t care about that and pulls Luka out of her chair. Luka moved his little mouth, and at the sight of the figure appearing outside the window, his eyes lit up and he readily agreed. Slow as a snail, herees Dad! His mission isplete! At the door, Louis pushed open the door and listened to theughter in the restaurant, his brow furrowed. Brooklyn is quite good at pleasing children. Knowing that the food here is junk food, in order to chase women, but will throw in the good! Chapter 359 Chapter 359 Violet watched the two kids y and chatted casually with Brooklyn, only to feel a burning gaze on her. She subconsciously looked up and saw Louis'' handsome face sunken as he walked towards her. Why is he here? Violet faintly froze, thinking that Luka was here. I think he came to pick up his son. "Helena ......" Brooklyn was about to say something to Violet when she followed her gaze and saw Louis. The nerves were a tense. "Mr. Johnson, you''re here." Brooklyn hurriedly got up and gestured for Louis to sit. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. The man is tall and has long legs, and the aura around him ispelling. Everywhere you go draws countless sideways nces. He gave Brooklyn a cold nce and sat down. "Mr. Brooklyn is so elegant, did you pick such an interesting ce for a date?" The man''s voice was faint, but the words that came out made Brooklyn''s heart thump. "Mr. Johnson, you misunderstood, Helena and I are not dating, just a normal good friends gathering." "Oh? Is it just a regr party?" Louis nced at Violet across the table, the corners of his mouth curled up in a cold arc, "I thought Mr. Brooklyn had a little heart, borrowing someone to spy on my confidential information." When that came out, Brooklyn''s gut feeling wasn''t right. Also feeling out of ce is Violet. "Mr. Johnson, Brooklyn helped me just as much as you did, so I''m just buying him a meal." Violet spoke up. "Brooklyn? That''s a very affectionate name." Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was unknowingly sour. Violet was a little speechless, looking at him for a moment without words. Brooklyn knew that someone''s jealousy tank was tipped over, he touched his nose and said, "Mr. Su, I treat Helena as my sister, there is no intention to use her to pry into The Johnson Group''s secrets." Does he look like Violet''s sister? Louis raised an eyebrow, the cold color between his eyebrows dispersed slightly. Violet looked at him and asked, "Mr. Johnson, is something wrong?" Louis'' words just now were clearly insinuating. She doesn''t like to be targeted. Louis''s long, slender fingers tapped the desk habitually. He gave Violet a slightly thoughtful look and his eyes fell back on Brooklyn. "Mr. Brooklyn, I just got word that your bid proposal for Infinity Tech Company this time is again simr to the one we gave at The Johnson Group. Do you think that''s strange?" The two programs are simr again! Brooklyn froze, incredulity shing in her eyes. He knew, of course, that Marcus had also used improper means in hisst case with the Rex''s Group. But it ended in failure. So this time, Marcus is up to his old tricks again? No wonder Louis just talked like that. Is he suspecting him of using Violet? This is a great injustice. "Mr. Johnson, I can swear to God that I had no knowledge of this matter. Because my big brother was in charge of this cooperation case, I wasn''t involved in it." Brooklyn hastened to exin. Louis did not speak, but looked at Violet. Violet was looking at him in the same way, and after the initial shock, disappointment shed in her eyes. So, Louis is suspecting her again likest time? As expected, the hearts of businessmen are made of iron. She also thought that after thest time, she was different in his heart. Yourself every time you make a fool of yourself. "Mr. Johnson, do you suspect me again?" Violet asked. "Will you incriminate yourself again?" Louis'' dark eyes were fixed. "No." Violet''s expression faded and came off. This is angry! Chapter 360 Chapter 360 Louis'' thin lips pursed and said, "Violet, I didn''t doubt you, I was expecting more of a surprise from you." The man''s eyes are deep, prating the darkness of insight. Violet and he stared at each other for two seconds and unconsciously averted her eyes. He said he didn''t suspect her. It seems that when she heard his words, the depression in her heart dispersed a little. He says he expects her to surprise him. Is this a disguisedpliment on her intelligence? Inexplicably, there is a little leap of faith in the heart. It''s the excitement of being recognized. Gee, why does she feel so unproductive? "Ahem, Mr. Johnson, I have things to do, so I''ll leave you guys alone, I''ll go first." Brooklyn is not a no-eye world, so he meekly withdrew. Louis and Violet were the only ones left at the table. Violet''s eyes fell on the two children in the yground, listening to the asional sound of her daughter''sughter, and something shed through her head. "Mr. Johnson, is it because I spent time in your office yesterday that I am now the most suspicious?" Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly and he didn''t say anything. "Go on." Violet looked at him and hesitated for a moment, "I would havee to your office yesterday because Assistant Harry asked me to." What did Harry have her doing in the office for nothing? Louis'' dark eyes were fixed, "You mean, Harry is a suspect?" Harry''s behavior over the past two days has been very counterintuitive. But how could he have betrayed himself? He has been with himself for so many years, if even he would betray himself, who else could he trust? "I''m not sure, I''m just stating the facts." Violet pursed her lips, thought of one thing and said, "There''s something else I haven''t told you." "What is it?" "I saw him vaguely that day at the Azure Club." What! Louis'' eyes narrowed again, "Violet, tell me clearly, are you saying that you saw Harry at the Azure Club?" "Yes. Although he denies it, the more I think about it, the more I think it''s him." Violet paused, "He was also holding a girl, I didn''t get a good look at the girl, but I heard him call out to Nina." She doesn''t know if the two events are rted, but if Harry is the one trying to set herself up, then she needs to tell Louis about his antics. Louis'' thin lips were pursed, and his slightly taut jaw indicated that he was in a very unattractive mood at the moment. How did Harry end up at Azure Club? And who is the girl he is holding? Nina? Which girl next to him is named Nina? Something shed in his mind, and Louis nced over his shoulder. He knew that Harry had always had a crush on Nina. So the Nina he was talking about, was it Nina Evison? Louis took out his cell phone and dialed out to Austin. "Austin, you better find out what your sister has been up to and call me back when you''re done." On the other end of the phone, Austin looked puzzled. Howe old friends suddenly care about their own sister? Isn''t he the one who avoids his own sister? But since the old friend has spoken, something big must have happened. Thinking about it, Austin looked straight and called Nina in a hurry. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off." The phone is still off! Austin was surprised, thought about it, grabbed his jacket and got up and left in a big way. Nina doesn''t like living with her parents and now lives in her apartment all the time. He went to the apartment to find her! In the KFC restaurant. Violet took a sip of her drink and was speechless for a moment. Louis was thinking about something on his mind, his handsome face was a bit sunken, and his body exuded an aura of being unapproachable. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. The two children yed for half a day, and when they returned, they found that the atmosphere between the two was not harmonious. Chapter 361 Chapter 361 "Uncle Louis, there you are!" Erin shed her big eyes and tried to jump into Louis'' arms, but was scared back by his icy breath. Louis returned to his senses, the breath around him slightly converged, and reached out to take the little one into his arms. "Had a good time?" "Well nah." Erin saw Louis'' expression soften, and immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and nibbled on his ear. "Uncle Louis, did you see Uncle Brooklyn there and get into a fight with Mommy? Mommy said that she and Uncle Brooklyn are just good friends." The little one''s milk voice is soft and cuddly. Louis was surrounded by her creamy scent and the corners of his mouth curled around his lips. "Uncle didn''t fight with your mommy." "But you didn''t look happy just now!" "That''s because uncle was thinking about something and now he''s happy to see you." Louis coaxed the little one, coaxed the little one to a froth, holding Louis'' face is a bark. "Uncle Louis, I still like you the best." Louis raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked at Violet. Violet was wiping Luka''s sweat and rolled her eyes darkly when she heard her daughter''s rainbow fart. Feeling Louis'' gaze, she raised her eyes slightly and touched on her smug look. Inexplicably, I think Louis is sometimes quite childish. "Auntie Violet, I like you best too." Luka said in a serious manner. Violet smiled and lifted her chin slightly towards Louis. See, her daughter likes him and his son likes her. It''s even! Superior Apartments. Nina sat on the sofa clutching her chest, a face still haggard and ufortable. She yawned and just felt as if the bugs were biting again in the blood around her body. Her addiction ising back! Unbearable! At that moment, the doorbell rang. Nina had a jolt and rushed to open the door. "Harry ......" Nina blurted out, but when she saw that the person standing at the door was Austin, the smile on her face froze and she shut the door with a ping. Austin''s nose almost hit the door and he took a step backwards with a dazed look on his face. Reacting, he rapped on the door with a wrinkled brow, "Nina, what are you doing? Have you seen a ghost? Open the door!" Inside the door, Nina leaned against the door panel, wrapped her arms around herself, and began to tremble lightly. Unbearable! It''s so hard! How could the person who came be a brother? Why isn''t Harrying? She can''t take it anymore! She can''t let her brother see the ghost of her attack! "Nina, if you don''t open the door, I''m going to kick it in!" Austin had a sullen face and clearly sensed that something was wrong. Is that person still his fresh sister just now? That face was as white as a dead face. What did she call him? Harry? Harry? Did she think it was Harry? What the hell is going on here? Austin was about to call Harry, when Harry came out of the elevator. His face changed slightly when he saw Austin at the door. "Mr. Gu." Austin just pulled out his cell phone and saw Harrying, and was about to speak when he heard a noiseing from inside the house. "Nina." Harry couldn''t care less about anything else and hurriedly opened the door with the key. Austin frowned and gave Harry a deep, puzzled look. Even he doesn''t have a key to Nina''s house, but Harry does. What does this mean? Did her sister get together with Harry? But didn''t my sister say she would never marry Louis? Inside the house, Nina is rummaging through boxes. "Nina, don''t be afraid, I''ming." Harry took a big step forward and pulled her up by the hand. "Harry, oooh, I''m hard, I want sugar pills." Nina yawned and snot and tears came out of her nose. Harry wrapped his arms around her and, despite her struggles, led her upstairs. "Nina, hang in there a little longer, just make it through two more days and you''ll be back on your feet." "......" Watching the two go upstairs, Lu Austin was dumbfounded. He is not a rash young man who is new to society, and he quickly thought of something about his Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. sister''s current symptoms. Sugar pills? So, his Austin sister got into something she shouldn''t have gotten into! Who got her hooked! Austin''s forehead veins popped at the corners and he took a big step upstairs and pushed open Nina''s bedroom door. In the bedroom, Harry is just settling in with Nina. She took the medicine and was sedated and slowly passed out. Harry wiped the sweat from the corner of his forehead and tucked in the corner of Nina''s quilt, his eyebrows full of pain. Austin at the door had a handsome face and said in a cold voice, "Harry,e out here." Harry hurriedly got up and followed him out, and gently closed the door behind him. Austin stood at the window, looked at Harry and asked in a cold voice, "Tell me, what the hell is going on here and how did Nina get like this!" Harry lowered his eyes slightly and clenched his fingers into fists. "It was all Marcus'' doing. He had Nina lured to the Azure Club and got her hooked on something she shouldn''t have been." Marcus! He actually dared to backstab his own sister. Austin''s breath sank and sank, and his eyes were covered with frost. He grabbed Harry''s cor, his voice like a demon from hell. "Harry, Marcus did this to my sister, and you secretly hid it for him? Does it mean that you are a mole sent by Marcus? You want to control my sister with that kind of stuff so that she will do whatever you say?" Hearing this, Harry hastened to deny it. "Mr. Gu, how could I be a mole sent by Marcus? I hate to get him killed for good. The only reason I didn''t make a sound is because I was thinking about Nina''s reputation. I just want Nina to return to normal and pretend that nothing has happened." The man''s face is sincere, Austin coldly examined him, half a long time, a hand to let go of him. "Harry, when something happened to Nina, you were the only one who was notified? When did she be so close to you?" Harry straightened his cor with a start. "Mr. Gu, at this point, I have one more thing to confess to you and Mr. Johnson." "What is it?" Austin narrowed his eyes. "It wasn''t her who told me about Nina''s ident, it was Marcus who told me. He threatened me with Nina''s reputation to steal one of Mr. Johnson''s plots." Austin: "......" What the hell, his sister turned out like this, but also with old friends? No wonder Louis asked him to check on his sister''s recent status! Austin''s face sank and he dialed Louis. "Louis, meet me, there''s something I need to talk to you about." Chapter 362 Chapter 362 Imperial Club. Harry knelt straight in front of Louis. Louis looked at him and spoke in a deep voice, "Get up and talk." He never thought that the leakage of this nning case was really rted to Harry. "Mr. Johnson, I''m sorry." Harry didn''t get up, his eyes slightly downcast, not daring to look at Louis. Louis stared at him, his handsome face sullen, "You were threatened by Marcus, why didn''t you talk to me?" Harry''s eyes fell on the ground and said truthfully, "I''m sorry, it happened so suddenly that I couldn''t disregard Miss Evison''s reputation. Moreover, I also believe that even if I don''t say anything, with your wisdom, you will soon find out the truth and be able toe up with a countermeasure." This is not, only after a day, they did not find out the truth? "I find out the truth, and you tell me is the same nature?Harry, in vain I trust you so much, you so disappoint me." Louis'' tone was full of disappointment. Harry''s head drops even lower. "I''m sorry, Mr. Johnson, I''ll resign." He was the one who mishandled it because he was too distraught about Nina. Now that he has quieted his mind, he is also chagrined. Why didn''t you tell Louis the truth yourself? He should have trusted Louis to take care of things. Louis looked at Harry steadily for two seconds and burst out, "Leak and still want to get off easily?" Harry breathed a sigh of relief and slowly looked up at Louis. "Mr. Johnson ......" So, what will he do to him? Send it to the relevant department formercial espionage? Austin on the side has not spoken, heard Louis speak, could not help but say: "Louis, this matter can not be med on Harry, he is also a momentary emergency, which is ......" Louis'' eyes gave Austin a cool look, making thetter half of Austin''s sentence stuck in his throat. Although, right, things happen for a reason, but Harry did betray Louis. What will old friends do with Harry? "Be the inside man, and when I make Marcus pay, you''ll leave." Louis suppressed his emotions and spoke up. So that''s what he meant. Harry clenched his fist, thinking of the near future, he can no longer follow this business wizard, and he went through the storm together, eyes suddenly red. "Mr. Johnson, again, I''m sorry." After so many years, he has long been used to listening to his instructions and learning business from him. However, in the end, he betrayed him with a thought. "Don''t say you''re sorry, it''s your choice." Louis looked ahead and said in a light voice, "I''m just disappointed that I treat you like a brother and Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. you only treat me like a superior. Maybe I wasn''t strong enough to make you choose to trust me and tell me everything." If he knew the truth, he would have a way to deal with Marcus, wouldn''t he? It''s just a pity that ...... With the phrase "treat him as a brother," Harry''s eyes reddened once again. He stammered his thin lips, and finally lowered his eyes, unable to say half a word. With his intelligence, he is not worthy to be Louis'' brother. "Ahem, Louis, since you already know the truth, what do we do now? Do we really let Marcus get his way and enter into a partnership with Infinity Tech Company?" Austin coughed lightly and opened his mouth to ask. "Well, let Marcus have his way for now." Louis'' eyes are dark and dark, sinking like the deep sea. "And let him have his way for a while? Why, Louis, I''d hate to get him right now." Austin''s eyes shed with a hint of ruthlessness. "How can we make him pay if we don''t let him have his way?" Louis gave him a look, "I know you have anger in your heart, but don''t move him for now, don''t spoil my n." Austin snorted coldly, "No, Marcus dares to touch my sister, you let me do nothing, I definitely can''t swallow this anger. Don''t worry, I won''t make any big moves, but I can still make some small moves." Louis didn''t say anything and didn''t express disagreement. Chapter 363 Chapter 363 After all, Austin is in a mood he can understand. They are the kind of nature, who touched their own people, they will find each other to fight for their lives. "Mr. Johnson, there''s something I need to report to you." Harry thought of something and opened his mouth. "Get up and talk." Louis said in a light voice. Harry paused and got up as he was told. "You asked me to look into Rosalie and Zakaria''s rtionship the other day, and I found out some old stories." Harry paused, "I found out that Rosalie and Zakaria were lovers, and that Jasmine was not old Mr. Johnson''s daughter, she was Zakaria''s biological daughter." When these words came out, Louis'' dark eyes narrowed and a hint of surprise shed in his eyes. Jasmine is not his half-sister? So, his father was cuckolded by Rosalie for twenty years? "Also, Rosalie just went to the hospital with Jasmine, and Jasmine is pregnant." Harry again reported what he had found out. Louis raised an eyebrow, interest shing in his eyes. That''s interesting. Jasmine is pregnant, so whose baby is it really? "Holy crap, Louis, your family''s rtionship is pretty doggone messy! That good stepmother of yours actually cuckolded your father for over twenty years, and if you were to get this out, wouldn''t she be thrown out immediately?" Austin, after a brief moment of surprise, opened his mouth and called out. Louis yed with the lighter in his hand, the corners of his mouth curved in a cold arc. "We can''t stir this up just yet, I''ll settle the score with Greyson when I find her." If it had gotten out so quickly, Rosalie might have gone away with her adulterer. Then the cause of his mother''s death will forever remain a mystery. "Also, there is no rush in this matter." Austin nodded, thought of something and raised an eyebrow, "Let''s not talk about your stepmother, let''s talk about Jasmine. she''s pregnant, if she says the baby is Marcus'', with Marcus'' ambition, do you think he will marry Jasmine? After all, no one knows Jasmine is a fake millennial right now." "If he marries her back, he thinks he''s married a golden phoenix back. But once we blow the secret out, it will be interesting." Hearing this, Louis hooked his lips in a smile. "Exactly, so all we have to do for now is to stay put. I''lly a trap and invite the king into the jar." "Louis, don''t sell out, tell me, what are you going to do?" "You don''t need to care about this matter, you should think about your sister''s matter. She''s not too young, isn''t it time for her to get married?" "That''s true, who would you say is more suitable to be the Gu family''s son-inw?" "It''s far away and close to home." "......" The next day, Violet paid special attention to the financial news. We found out that Infinity Tech Company really did have a partnership with the Scott Group. Violet watched the news in awe, a little worried about Louis. Who betrayed Louis this time? Is it really Harry? If even Harry betrayed him, wouldn''t he have no one to use? Inexplicable heartache for him. Violet pursed her lips and wanted to call Louis, but finally gave up her mind. She had read Infinity Tech Company''swork and heard that Dominic, the man in charge, was Louis'' cousin. With such nepotism, how could Infinity Tech Company choose to work with the Scott Group? Is it true that there is only profit in the mall? This time, she couldn''t help him.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. And she is still under suspicion, it is better not to get together. Violet sighed, put away her phone and went downstairs, ready to go out. "Miss, you''ve got the wrong cake, it''s not the cake I ordered!" "Sorry sorry sorry, I''ll change it for you right away." Tasty Interlude Bakery, Evie was all apologetic and rushed to help customers change their cakes. Chapter 364 Chapter 364 Violet looks at Evie''s distracted look and ponders. When the customers had gone, she walked over to them. "Evie, what''s wrong with you?" She must have something to do with Isaac again. Evie barely managed to squeeze out a smile, "Sis, I''m fine." "And you say it''s okay? It just about says I''m sad and I want to cry on my little face." Violet pulls Evie aside, "Say, is it something to do with Isaac?" Evie hung her head slightly and said silently, "Isaac drank too much against night, and there was a lipstick mark on his cor, and the same secretary who brought him back. Sister, I don''t know what to do." Hearing this, Violet frowned, "So, you still haven''t mentioned anything to Isaac?" "Well, I''m afraid Isaac will me me for making a big deal out of a small mention. After all, you''ve said that he''s not the type of man to be a womanizer, he just has social engagements." "Having said that, the reminder that should be given still has to be given. After all, isn''t it too much to even have lipstick marks?" Violet disapproved. Evie doesn''t say a word, her fingers twisting helplessly. She also knew that Dolly must have had her heart set on Isaac. But she is afraid, afraid that she does not have that weight in Isaac''s heart. So what if I did? Isaac might instead me her for making a big deal out of it? "Evie, I told you to know your ce, but not without a word, and the reminders that should be given should still be given. If you won''t talk, then I''ll talk to Isaac." Violet shook Evie''s shoulder and said. "No, sis, I''ll take care of it myself." Evie said in a rush. Her refusal was so quick that Violet looked at her steadily and slowly let go of her hand. "Okay, Evie, remember, I promised my sister-inw that I would take care of you for the rest of your life, so if you are ever wronged, you must talk to me. I still have things to do, I''ll go out first." A woman''s natural sensitivity makes her feel that Evie probably has thoughts about herself in the matter of Isaac. It''s because Isaac used to like himself, right? There is some helplessness. Looking at Violet''s back, Evie opened her mouth and a trace of chagrin shed in her eyes. She has always said that she is not jealous of her sister, but in fact, she is still a little bit jealous of her, right? Who made her so good? "Evie, did you have a falling out with Miss Helena?" Natalie asked as she came down the stairs and stared at Evie. Evie gave her a look and covered up, "No." "Evie, don''t lie to me, you''re too innocent to put everything on your face." Natalie walked up to her, "I heard it all, you were talking to Miss Helena about Isaac. I told you a long time ago that Isaac doesn''t really like you, he only sees you as a backup, otherwise, he wouldn''t get too close to the female employees." Hearing these words, Evie clenched her fist, and a trace of hurt shed in her eyes. Natalie took it in stride, "Evie, look at me, I''m being blunt again, just pretend I didn''t say that, I''m going to get busy." Evie''s eyes slowly reddened as she watched Natalie go upstairs. Does Isaac really think of himself only as a backup? She knew it all along, didn''t she? The Johnson Grouprge conference room. A group of directors is holding Louis ountable for the Infinity Tech Company partnership. "Mr. Johnson, aren''t you and Dominic of Infinity Tech Company cousins? Howe he chose to work with The Johnson Group''s arch rival?" "Isn''t it true, Mr. Johnson, that if you lose such a big business, you won''t be able to finish your annual sales this year?" "Mr. Johnson, is it because your business ability has declined or is there some other reason? How did the project that was clearly a must-win end up in the hands of apetitor?" "......" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Several directors spoke up, and Louis looked pale, letting them vent their frustrations. Chapter 365 Chapter 365 Jasmine snorted, "So, don''t tter yourself so much before, you really think some people can do anything? Now that you''ve lost your business, you might as well think about getting a piece of the Scott Group''s pie." Hearing this, several directors exchanged words. Louis nced at Jasmine with a glint of interest in his eyes. "Miss Johnson, you sound like you have a way to get a piece of the Scott Group?" He was idle and would have loved to watch how the clown bounced around. "Yes, I will marry Marcus soon, and as long as I marry into the Su family, our two families will be turned into one, and we still can''t have a share of the pie?" Jasmine lifted her chin slightly with a smug look on her face. "What? Miss Johnson, you''re not kidding?" One of the directors had a surprised face. Jasmine snorted coldly and looked askance at Louis, her hand unconsciously touching the small of her back, "Do I look like I''m joking?" The directors whispered again. Louis'' long, slender fingers tapped on the desktop, the corners of his mouth hooked in a smirk. "OK, then we''ll wait for Miss Johnson''s wedding reception." He was quite looking forward to seeing these two stinkers together. Louis got up and left when he finished. Jasmine watched his tall back disappear into the doorway, a hint of doubt shing in her eyes. I''m surprised he didn''t publicly express his opposition? It''s not like him to do that! It must be because the contract was lost, the heart is anxious, it wants to rely on her to save the situation. Dream on! When she marries Marcus, she''ll be too busy curing him to help him get back on his feet? Jasmine grunted coldly and walked out of the conference room with the file. After thinking about it, she pulled out her cell phone and called Marcus. The phone rang for a long time and was finally picked up. "Hello?" The man''s breathless voice came over the current. "Marcus, where are you? Why does the voice sound weird?" "I''m in the hospital." Jasmine: "......" President''s Office. Louis sat down in his executive chair when his phone beeped and a message came in. It was Austin who sent a few messages to his phone. Louis clicked on it to take a look, and his good-looking eyebrows were raised. Austin posted a few pictures. In the picture, Marcus is being taken to the hospital after being beaten up and bruised. It looks like this is Austin''s little punishment for Marcus. It''s quite a relief. Louis hooked his lips and was about to put his phone away and start working when Dominic also sent over a document. "Brother, take a look at this document, is it a big hole for Marcus to dig?" The document is a contract between Infinity Tech Company and the Scott Group to enter into a partnership. Louis clicked on it and skimmed through it, and the smile on the corner of his mouth grew even bigger. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. The contract book added the betting agreement in advance as he had instructed. If the Scott Group is unable to fund the project, Infinity Tech Company has the right to terminate the partnership and require the Scott Group to pay arge amount of liquidated damages. Marcus was so confident in himself that he signed the contract without hesitation. So, he waited for Marcus to eat his own words and jump into this big hole! Chapter 366 Chapter 366 Hospital. "Marcus, how did you get hurt? You can''t be okay, our baby can''t be without a father." Jasmine sat on the bed, looking at Marcus, who was tied up tightly with straps, and cried. "What are you crying for? I''m not dead yet!" Marcus looked impatient, involving the muscles in his face, and bared his teeth in pain for a while. It''s really bad luck. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. I don''t know why he got beaten up, it almost killed him! "Marcus, did you find out who did it?" Jasmine asked. "Who else could it be? I think it''s probably Louis who''s up to something because I stole his contract." Marcus gritted his teeth. "It''s that bastard again!" Jasmine took Marcus'' hand, her almond eyes shing slightly, "Marcus, don''t wait another three months, you marry me right now. Marry me and we''ll join forces to pull him down." She also fears that the night will be too long and it is better that Marcus marry her immediately. Marcus nced at her, his eyes slowly moving down to the small of her back. "Jasmine, I don''t want to save face? In case the child in your belly is not mine, then wouldn''t I lose a lot of money?" At that, Jasmine got anxious, "Marcus, why don''t you believe me? I still don''t know whose child it is? It''s definitely yours." Is it definitely his? This woman is so slutty, the hell knows whose child it really is. Marcus snorted in his heart, and his face did not show. His eyes twitched and he said seductively, "Jasmine, if you can convince your parents to let me join the board of The Johnson Group after I marry you, even if the baby isn''t mine, I''ll admit it." He''s going on the board of The Johnson Group? That means he wants to take control of The Johnson Group. Jasmine knows it very well, "Marcus, I am the daughter of The Johnson Group, as long as you marry me, there are still worries that Sulu will not be in our hands in the future?" In other words, if he marries her, she will help him take control of The Johnson Group. Marcus heard the satisfaction andughed. "Okay, there''s no rush, I have things to do right now. When I''m done with the Infinity Tech Company partnership, we''ll put the marriage on the agenda." "Marcus, you have to keep your word!" "Of course, I''m sure I''ll marry you." "......" At the door of the ward, Grace''s face twisted for a moment as she listened to the conversation between the two men. Is it true that Marcus is marrying Jasmine? No, Marcus cannot be allowed to marry her! If Jasmine hadn''t had the baby, Marcus certainly wouldn''t have married her. Grace''s eyes shed with a grim gleam as she turned and walked quickly away. Twenty minutester, Jasmine emerged from the hospital room. She ruffled her big wavy curls and took the elevator down to the underground parking lot with her high heels. He was walking towards his car when a car sped up and honked towards her. Jasmine was startled and kept backing up, falling to the ground as soon as her heels turned. The car came to a stop just a few centimeters from her. Jasmine has long been scared to death, looking at the stopped car speechless. The car door opened and Grace got out of the cab with an apologetic look on her face. "Sorry Miss Johnson, I seem to have a problem with the brakes on my car, are you okay?" Jasmine stared at Grace for a long time before she came back to her senses. "Grace, are you trying tomit murder! I ...... hiss, my stomach hurts!" Is it finally a stomach ache? Is the baby going to be aborted after such a sudden shock? The corners of Grace''s mouth fluttered unseen with a sneer, but her face showed panic. "Huh? Tummy ache? Let me help you up and walk you to the doctor." "Grace, if anything happens to the baby in my belly, I''m not done with you!" Jasmine was helped to her feet and shouted curses. "I''m sorry sorry Miss Johnson, I didn''t mean to do that." "Stupid, you loser, no wonder you can''t get Louis'' favor, why are you so bad luck!" Jasmine cursed under her breath, and Grace''s face twisted for a moment. Go ahead and curse! What does she need to get Louis'' favor for? Chapter 367 Chapter 367 When she marries Marcus, she''ll smack her in the face so hard! ...... Violet watches workers work at Sky Shopping Mall. This construction team was called in by Isaac. It didn''t take long for Isaac to arrive. "Violet, sorry, I''ve been a bit busytely and couldn''t supervise the work myself. Is there any problem with the counter decoration over here?" Isaac has a string of apologies. "Isaac, I''ve seen it, the counter is pretty well decorated, nothing wrong with it." Violet looked at him with a faint smile and said after a pause, "You''ve been really busytely, haven''t you? You''ve lost weight." Isaac touched his face andughed: "Just opened, all kinds of problems have to be done personally, indeed a little busy. It turns out that the boss is not that easy to be." Violet smiled as she listened to his exmation. Thinking of something, she moved her lips, wanting to say something. But in the end, she swallowed the question she was going to ask. Evie says she''ll take care of the female secretary herself. So at this time, it is better for her not to mention it. However, this matter can not be mentioned, other than one thing can be mentioned. "Isaac, when are you and Evie nning to have your wedding?" As Evie''s cousin and Isaac''s best friend, it''s only right that she take an interest in their life events. "I''m pretty busy these days, odds are I''ll get a license with Evie first, and then have a wedding when thepany stabilizes a bit." Isaac pondered for a moment and spoke up. Violet nodded, "Isaac, Evie is a good girl, you need to treat her right." "Don''t worry, I will." Isaac gave her a look and a slight smile. The two made small talk for a few more minutes when a call came in on Violet''s cell phone. Violet nced over and it was Brooklyn''s phone. "Brooklyn." "Helena, have you been asked to be a date to a business reception we''re hosting at the Scott Group this weekend?" Brooklyn asked. Violet blinked, "No." "So can I ask you to be my date?" Violet was stunned, "Why is the Scott Group hosting a business reception?" "To celebrate the sess of signing with Infinity Tech Company. When the timees, many high profile people will be there, and I think it will always help you to expand your business." Brooklyn is really looking out for herself. Violet had Natalie''s in mind, "Okay, I''ll go." She was not trying to expand her business, but simply did not want to put him down. "Violet, are you going to the business reception hosted by the Scott Group tomorrow as well?" Isaac heard her call and inquired. "Yes." Violet nodded. "I should be there as well. infinity Tech Company is settling in the country and I''m going to pick up their Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ...... The night of the banquet. Brooklyn came to pick up Violet. Violet wore a starry blue gown and simple makeup, but she looked like a goddess who had fallen to earth. Brooklyn brightened up, smiled andplimented her, and gently pulled open the car door for her. Violet looked at Evie, who was still busy, and the smile at the corner of her mouth faded. Didn''t Isaac say he''d be there for the reception too? Howe Evie wasn''t asked to be his date? At Tasty Interlude Bakery, Evie finished her work and went into the break room to get a drink of water. "Hey Evie, are you still here?" Natalie probes in with a suspicious look on her face. "Where should I go?" Evie, unsure, asked with a smile. "Going to a reception hosted by the Scott Group! Isn''t Isaac going to be there too? Hasn''t hee to pick you up yet?" Hearing this, Evie''s face froze. She didn''t even know Isaac was going to be at the reception! Who will he bring to the reception! Chapter 368 Chapter 368 Emerald Hotel, owned by Su. The banquet hall on the first floor was extraordinarily lively. Many guests gathered together andughed Jasmine between drinks and drinks. Violet followed Brooklyn into the banquet hall and was already familiar with such a lively scene. Today''s reception was hosted by the Su family, and Brooklyn was quickly called away because she is a Su family member. Violet nodded politely and detachedly to a few familiar guests, then strode along in confidence. Josie didn''te today. Because Austin didn''te to the party because of familymitments, she, the real girlfriend, didn''t Violet was feeling bored when she saw Isaac chilling with guests from afar. Beside him also stood a woman in a red dress, looking at Isaac from time to time with a smile. Violet immediately recognized the woman as the one she had seen in the restaurant earlier. I think she is Isaac''s secretary Dolly! So, Isaac is bringing Dolly to the reception today? Violet''s eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and was about to go up to meet Dolly, when the woman''s cold, arrogant voice came from behind her. "Yo, if it isn''t Helena, the makeup artist!" This is Jasmine''s voice. Violet gave a sideways nce at her as she took a step. Jasmine, wearing a floor-length champagne-colored dress, walked slowly toward her. Violet stood there speechless for a moment. "Violet, you are quite capable, being repudiated by Louis, so soon to hook up with the world''s son? It''s a pity that Brooklyn is also an illegitimate son who is not on the stage. But an illegitimate son of a powerful family, for you, amoner, you are still high up!" Jasmine saw Violet and Brooklyne in together and of course came over to be sarcastic. Violet looked at her and hooked her lips, "I am self-aware, unlike some people who bounce around cheerfully like a jumping clown and are not ashamed of themselves." Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. If she were Jasmine, how could she have the face to appear in such an asion? "You!" Jasmine''s face shifted and she stared at Violet like a hole was burning through her. "Miss Johnson, Mr. Su has specially instructed that you can''t get angry. Go, I''ll take you over to sit for a while." A waiter hurried in and carefully held Jasmine. Jasmine ced her hand on the small of her back and touched it, looking over at Violet with a smug look on her face. "Violet, do you think I''m ashamed of myself because you let me have a scandal? I''m the daughter of The Johnson Group, so even if there''s a scandal, I''m still a step above you! We''ll see about that!" After saying that, Jasmine snorted coldly and walked towards the inside with the help of the waiter. Violet blinked and watched Jasmine''s back, pondering. Look at Jasmine''s posture, why does she look pregnant? No way! Jasmine is pregnant? The child is Marcus''? "Violet." Isaac''s voice came from behind him. Violet looked back toward him. Isaac walks toward her with a ss of wine. Dolly is still following next to her. Violet''s eyes moved slightly and she looked at Dolly steadily. This woman is slim and petite, face because of the makeup, look quite beautiful looks. It''s just that her cheekbones are high and she looks a little less than pleasant. "Isaac, are you here early? And this is?" Violet asked. "Let me introduce you, this is my secretary Dolly, Nuanxin, and this is Violet, the famous make-up artist." Isaac introduced the two. Dolly gave a slight nod towards Violet, "Miss Helena, I''ve heard a lot about you." Violet hooked her lips distantly, "So you''re the secretary who always apanies Isaac to the drinking parties? I''ve heard Evie tell me about you, it''s really hard work for you." Dolly''s smile faltered, clearly sensing the cold arrogance in Violet''s tone. With a twinkle in her eye, she smiled, "Miss Helena is too kind, not only am I Isaac''s secretary, but we also went to high school together. Now that his career is just starting, I''ll help him out in both public and private." Chapter 369 Chapter 369 This is said as if she is his sage helper. This woman is not a soft touch. Violet had an evaluation of Dolly in her mind. At that moment, there was amotion at the door and some guests came in. "Louis and Dominic are here." Isaac spoke up and then headed for the door. Violet subconsciously looked over and saw the Su family greeting several guests who hade. One of them was none other than Louis. He was dressed in a dark suit, with the usual reserved and cold end. At this time, the arm was held by Grace, the two stood together, like a pair of Bey-like existence. And on the other side ...... Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Violet''s almond eyes sparkled as she saw the woman on the other side of Louis. That woman, wasn''t it the woman she saw that day in the Pce Hotel who spent the night with Louis? Louis should not be so tant? One on the left, one on the right, and he''s not afraid of being torn apart! So scummy! Violet''s eyebrows knitted, her heart inexplicably bubbling with acid. She tried to avert her eyes, but they wouldn''t listen. At the door, in addition to Louis and Grace, there were David and Summer''s siblings. They were greeted by the Marcus brothers, as well as Jasmine, who came over hard. "Mr. Wen, we are just waiting for your arrival." Marcus, his face still slightly bruised, greeted Dominic with a smile. Dominic smiled lightly and deliberately asked, "Mr. Su, what happened to your face?" The smile on Marcus'' face gave a beat, his eyes unconsciously swept over Louis and averted again. "Oh, it''s not that I''m too happy to work with yourpany? So I drank a few more sses of wine and identally fell down." Damn Louis, he must have done this to himself. But so what? This time, he finally raised his eyebrows and won him a time! "Mr. Su should pay attention next time, don''t get carried away!" Louis said meaningfully. "Thank you Mr. Johnson for the heads up." Marcus held his chin up high and snorted, "I also kindly advise Mr. Johnson, lost a project is nothing, should vent when venting, be careful of suffocating the body ah." Louis raised an eyebrow in disbelief. Who is the real winner? The soon wille from will be revealed. "Marcus, since your guests have arrived, let them in, don''t just stand at the door and exchange pleasantries." Jasmine took Marcus''s arm and poised herself like a master woman. Across the table, Grace''s hand hanging to one side involuntarily tugged tight. Jasmine was in shock that day and just saw red, but the sinful seed in her belly was still there! Jasmine alsoined to Marcus, causing her to be severely warned by Marcus. Why is she so angry! Not far away, Violet looked at a few people, her eyes inadvertently nced, touched Grace''s gaze, could not help but blink. Who is Grace looking at? The person standing across from her is Jasmine. This gaze was not new to her. Why did she feel that Grace was looking at Jasmine like she was looking at a love interest? Is Grace looking at the wrong person? Shouldn''t she be looking in the direction of Louis'' right side? "Helena, you''re here too." David sees Violet and strides towards her. Chapter 370 Chapter 370 "David." Violet smiled and called out to David. "How have you been?" "It''s okay, how about you?" "I''m a little busy." "......" The two exchanged pleasantries, not far away Louis was surrounded by several business partners, his eyes fell on Violet, his eyes narrowed slightly. How could Violete to the business reception held by Su? Dressed so nicely, you should not be here to work. Louis'' cold, sharp gaze moved instantly to Brooklyn. Is Violet here as Brooklyn''s date? Brooklyn was greeting a few guests who came in. Inadvertently touched Louis''s burning gaze, the smile on his face slightly stiffened. Such hostile eyes, the same as in the KFC restaurant at that time! Probably because of Violet again? Brooklyn felt the need to exin himself and hurriedly stepped forward, "Mr. Johnson ......" "Dominic, what did you just have to say to me?" Louis did not pay attention to Brooklyn, his eyes fell on Dominic, faintly inquired. "Huh? Did I just talk to you?" Dominic is climbing in Isaac with a puzzled look on his face. Louis nced at him with a glint of disgust in his eyes. The end is a rash, no eyesight at all! "Dominic, didn''t you just want to ask Louis for advice about the renovation of our branch?" It was Summer who saw the light and took Louis'' arm, relieving Dominic of the situation. Dominic looked here and there and nodded his head in a daze, "Oh, yes oh. I''m not familiar with the domestic decorating market, I''m the one to ask Louis." "Mr. Wen, I used to be an architect for The Johnson Group, and if I can, I will submit a renovation n tomorrow." Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Isaac spoke up at the right time. "Oh, you''re an architect at The Johnson Group? So how did you get out and go solo?" "Because I want to look up to Mr. Johnson." "......" Listening to the conversation between the two, Louis nced at Isaac and his eyes moved slightly. A side of Brooklyn to see Louis dead or alive not to pay attention to their own, can not help but touch the nose. He really didn''t mean to provoke Mr. Johnson! But it was simply a desire to expose Violet to more upper-ss circles. Not far away, Violet watched Summer''s hand on Louis'' arm, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled. That woman is too bold, isn''t she? You don''t want to behave in public? Where''s Grace? Where did she go? Violet subconsciously searched for Grace''s figure, and instead of finding her person, she met a pair of hostile eyes. Nancy? She''s here too! At this moment she was standing with Ciara, with a ss of wine in her hand, looking at herself from time to time. Probably because of David, so look at their own eyes particrly unfriendly. "Helena, what are you looking for?" David saw that Violet was distracted and asked curiously. "Huh? I just wonder who is the woman standing with Mr. Johnson now? Doesn''t she know about Mr. Johnson''s rtionship with Grace? It''s not good for her to be so intimate with Mr. Johnson." Violet returned to her senses and unconsciously asked the question on her mind. As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she regretted them. Why should she care about it? Making it sound like she especially cares about Louis being with other women. "You mean Summer?She and Louis are actually ......" David paused and gave Violet a look that couldn''t help but tease, "Helena, don''t tell me you think Summer is Louis'' rumored girlfriend?" "Isn''t it?" Chapter 371 Chapter 371 She had seen the two spend the night in the hotel with her own eyes. Violet is convinced that Summer and Louis are having an affair. David looked at her and then at Summer and couldn''t help but hold in hisughter. "You really think so? No, I''ll have to tell them about it." Someone''s ex-wife misunderstood! He had to get this information to someone quickly. "Hey, David." Violet watched David walk in Louis'' direction with even more chagrin in her eyes. Is she blowing too much air conditioning today? The head is muddy. She is not Louis'' who, why ask about that woman''s rtionship with Louis? Violet just wanted to disappear, but before she could leave, Louis came striding towards her. He must havee tough at her nosiness. Violet''s heart fluttered and she took a sip from her ss to hide her nervousness. "What brings you here?" Louis stood in front of Violet, his eyes skimming over her bare white skin, his eyes dark. Violet yed it cool, "I was invited by Brooklyn toe over." "So you''re Brooklyn''s date today?" Louis'' suspicions were confirmed and his eyes deepened. "Yes." Violet looked up at him and touched his dark, sea-like eyes, and something shed through her mind. "Mr. Johnson, are you still doubting me?" His face was obviously unhappy, was he still doubting her because the nning was giarized by Su? Louis'' eyes set and burst out, "I was suspecting something ......" He really does still suspect her! Violet''s grip on her ss tightened and her face changed. However, the next second, she heard what Louis said and almost swayed. "Violet, did you think I had a new love, so you broke it and pulled Brooklyn out to piss me off?" Louis came slightly closer to Violet, his thin lips curled up in a smile. A familiar masculine scent hits you with a hint of mint. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Violet''s ears were slightly hot, and she barely managed to steady her mind. "Mr. Johnson, you know me too little, am I that frivolous? But I still have to advise you to be more restrained in public, for no other reason than for the sake of your son." "So, you''re still thinking about my son?" Louis stared at Violet, the curve of his mouth unchanged. "Yeah." Violet doesn''t deny it. "Since your starting point for giving me advice is based on my son, I''d like to ask you if it''s time to fulfill his wishes? Let him grow up happy?" "Sure." "But if his wish is for me to be with you, Violet, do you want to grant it?" Violet: "......" This man, she can''t keep up with his rhythm in her head! The man''s gaze was like a torch, making her heart miss a beat. Violet straightened her hair around her ears and pretended to be calm, "That, I''ll go to the bathroom first." She can''t talk him out of it, so she''s better off hiding. Looking at Violet''s hastily leaving back, Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly. Dominic''s voice came from behind him. "Louis, have you exined to your sister-inw yet? How could she misunderstand you and your sister?" Louis nced at him, "Where''s what I want?" Dominic froze, reacting to the fact that Louis was asking for a human skin mask. "The stuff is just done, it''s in my car, I was trying to find a chance to give it to you." "Go get it." "Louis, you want it now? What do you want?" "Cut the crap." Some people repeatedly y deaf to his hints, then his Hendrix identity, shoulde on! Chapter 372 Chapter 372 Violet patted her burning cheeks and walked in the direction of the bathroom. The words of Louis still shed in my mind. She shook her head and shook off all her thoughts. Louis this man is too deep, in the future she still less contact with him for good. Violet took a deep breath, and with an unobtrusive nce of her eyes, she saw Nancy gesturing a waiter and her toward the corner. What is Nancy talking to a waiter for nothing? Nothing is too early, with his knowledge of Nancy, this woman must be ying something wrong again. Thinking about the way Nancy looked at herself just now, Violet thought to herself, "Nancy is not staring at herself again, is she? After all, Nancy likes David. And just now David is close to himself again. Nancy hates herself in her heart, so she thinks of crooked ideas to fix herself and make a fool of herself. Well, next, she must not drink any drinks. Lest you fall into Nancy''s path. Violet mentally builds herself up and goes into the bathroom. I bumped into Dolly who had juste out of the bathroom. Dolly was cutting her hair, and when she saw Violet, the corner of her mouth ticked. "Miss Helena." Violet''s footsteps, then turned on the water cage and washed her hands. Looking at Dolly, who was also washing her hands, her eyes twitched slightly. "Miss Stewart, you really like Isaac, don''t you?" Dolly washed her hands and then turned off the water cage. "Miss Helena, Isaac is a wonderful man, and there''s nothing wrong with me liking him, is there?" Is this an admission? Violet looked at her, "So you know he''s getting married soon Miss Stewart, the person he''s marrying is Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. my cousin, I hope you''ll settle down and not ruin it for the two of them." Hearing this, Dolly faced Violet and ruffled her hair in disbelief. "Miss Helena, a fairdy is a martyr. Not to mention that Isaac is not married yet, even if he is, so what? Is it wrong for me to like him?" "It''s true that you like him, but you know that he''s getting married soon, but you still don''t know how to curb your feelings." Violet''s face went cold, "Dolly, if Isaac liked you today, naturally I wouldn''t say anything, but I can see that he only sees you as a secretary doesn''t he?" "Miss Helena, he is only treating me as a secretary now, but how do you know he will not fall in love with meter?" Dolly lifted her chin slightly, "Just because Evie is your cousin, you''re going to force her on Isaac? Since neither of us is his favorite woman, what difference does it make who marries him?" The words left Violet speechless. It seems that Dolly has done her homework. Does she know that once Isaac liked himself? Is she determined to destroy the rtionship between Isaac and Evie? Did you really force Evie on Isaac yourself? Does Isaac really have no feelings for Evie at all? She doesn''t believe it! Watching Dolly turn to leave, Violet looked down at the phone in her hand. She just turned on the recording function. She could no longer listen to Evie and leave the matter alone. She wants Isaac to see Dolly for who she really is. If he really doesn''t care about Evie''s feelings, then she doesn''t approve of him and Evie being together. Violet went into the bathroom and came out a few momentster, intending to go to Isaac. Passing by a corner of the banquet hall, she only heard a cry of rm and raised her eyes to see that there was a woman wearing a floor-length dress with the hem of her skirt stepped on by a waiter, followed by arge area of skin inadvertently exposed on her chest. Chapter 373 Chapter 373 A few of the surrounding guests who were watching the fun pulled out their cell phones and took pictures of each other making a fool of themselves with a look of excitement. The woman covered her chest with her hand, with a face of embarrassment and shame. The waiter was apologizing incessantly. Violet originally did not care, but when she saw the side of the waiter''s face, her footsteps stopped. Isn''t this the waiter who was just talking to Nancy? How could it be so coincidental that it stepped on a guest''s floor-length dress? Could it be that Nancy ordered her to do so? Violet looked into the crowd of people watching and saw Nancy among them. At this moment she is holding a ss of wine, her face is full of smiles of triumph. Violet''s eyes flickered and she looked again at the woman who had made a fool of herself and realized that it was Summer! How is it her? At this point, Summer bit her lip and pulled her long skirt upward with force, covering her chest with her hand. Seeing that many people were taking pictures, she was annoyed and said, "You guys, delete the pictures." What a depression, how could this happen? Just showed the wrong ce! The waitress didn''t mean it, so she couldn''t do anything with her. Only let these onlookers delete the photos they just took. "Why do you want us to delete the photos? Which family''s daughter are you? If you feel ashamed, why don''t you just be my woman?" "Haha, Mr. Ball, you got your eye on her? Saying that she just showed a little bit, her body is still good oh." "That ce looks a little small, doesn''t it?" "......" Several gentry gathered together, ogling Summer with impunity and uttering uncouth, dirty words. Summer''s face swelled to red and wanted to go up and delete the photos from their phones, but she was afraid her gown would fall down, so she bit her lip and didn''t know what to do. Just then, her shoulders warmed and someone draped a garment over her. Summer turned around and met Violet''s clear, bright eyes. Her eyes are beautiful and unexinably intimate. Summer wrapped her clothes tighter and smiled gratefully toward her, "Thank you." The key moment, or sister-inw give strength ah. But her sister-inw seems to have misunderstood her rtionship with Louis. Wait, she must clear up this misunderstanding. "You''re wee." Violet smiled reassuringly toward Summer, then looked over at a few people and shook the phone in her hand. "You guys, delete all the photos you just took. I have recorded everyone who was there, and if this youngdy''s photos are uploaded on the, I will definitelye out and testify so that she can sue you for viting her portrait rights." She didn''te to help Summer on purpose. But I am not used to Nancy''s secretly making bad things happen. A statement that made the faces of several gentry present look ugly. Someone recognized her. "Yo, isn''t this LouisMr. Johnson''s ex-wife? What a great authority!" "Isn''t it? It''s just a woman from the next house, isn''t it? You want us to delete it?" "We won''t delete it, we won''t upload it to the Inte, we''ll just enjoy it in private, what can you do with us?" "......" Looking at several gentry unconvinced, Violet smiled faintly. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "It''s true that I can''t do anything to you guys, but I just think you''re blind. Do you know who she is? Did you not see that she came with Louis when you came here? If you guys want to die, just forget what I just said." Chapter 374 Chapter 374 And Louis came together, which means that Summer and Louis have a very close rtionship. The people in the room, of course, did not dare to offend Louis, and immediately looked at Summer''s eyes have changed. "Violet, are you saying that she''s Mr. Johnson''s new love interest? Don''t be ridiculous, you don''t know that Mr. Johnson has a mother with him, and he divorced you for the sake of the mother." Nancy is waiting to see what Summer has in store for her, but she doesn''t expect Violet toe out of nowhere and bait everyone on purpose. What is Summer''s rtionship with Louis? She just saw David''s extra intimate attitude towards Summer just now, so she wanted to teach Summer a lesson! "It''s true that Louis has a Grace with him, but so what? Isn''t it normal for a man like Louis to have a few women?" Violet saw Nancy jump out and faded back. Nancy moved her lips and tried to refute something, but the people taking pictures around her had already started deleting them. "She''s right, forget it, I don''t want to make an enemy of Mr. Johnson." "That''s right, my dad just got involved with The Johnson Group, so I can''t afford to make a mistake because I''m taking a chance, or I''ll be killed by my dad." "Deleted deleted." "......" All the people who took the photos deleted them. And not forgetting to give Violet and Summer a look over. And at that moment, Summer watched Violet stand up for her, really crying andughing. She pulled Violet to a deserted corner andughed, "Miss Elliott, I think you misunderstood my rtionship with Louis, who is actually my cousin." Violet: "......" Louis is her cousin? What''s her name again? Summer! Oh yes, Louis'' maternal grandparents'' family name is Wen. She didn''t think of this rtionship for a while! Violet''s eyes widened with a look of surprise and embarrassment. "No, that day at the Pce Hotel, I clearly saw you and him ......" "That to my brother and I had just returned home and Louis booked a room for us to discuss some work-rted issues with us. There was not only me in the room, but my brother Dominic was there too." Summer exins with a smile. This is a big misunderstanding! But howe Louis didn''t exin to her clearly? Why is she specting there? Violet was so embarrassed that she just wanted to disappear. Something shed suddenly in his mind. Louis was also at the Pce Hotel that day, so could the stranger who entered her room and spent the night with her have been ...... "Helena, may I call you that?" Summer saw Violet standing dumbfounded and just thought she was funny as hell. Violet returned to her senses and nodded hastily, "Yes, Miss Wen ......" "And don''t call me Miss Wen, we''re about the same age, just call me by my first name." Summer said. "Okay, Summer." Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Fortunately, she did not show her contempt for Summer, otherwise, when the truthes out, how should she step down? It''s all Louis, how can he not exin it? Violet bellyached. When she saw Summer gathering her clothes, she thought of something and her almond eyes shed slightly. "Summer, what is your rtionship with David? Does he like you?" "Hmm? David and I do know each other, but how could he possibly like me?" Summer faintly stared and smiled as she smoothed her hair around her ears. "If he didn''t like you, you wouldn''t have just made a fool of yourself." Violet looked at the flicker of light in Summer''s eyes and smiled meaningfully. She thinks these two are definitely in y! "Helena, what do you mean? Wasn''t it the waiter''s carelessness that caused me to make a fool of myself just now? What does it have to do with David?" Summer asked in disbelief. "Think of it as having something to do with David! Because the waiter was bought, and the person who bought him likes David." The smile on Violet''s face was slightly restrained, and her eyes went towards Nancy, who was not far away. Chapter 375 Chapter 375 A trace of surprise shed in Summer''s eyes, and he hastily asked, "Who''s behind this?" "It''s the girl who just made thest noise, her name is Nancy, she''s a heartthrob." Violet looked back in Nancy''s direction. Summer followed her line of sight and the look on her face went cold. "I didn''t expect to encounter this kind of thing as soon as I returned home. helena, what do you think is the best way to deal with scheming women?" "What?" "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Summer and Violet exchanged phone numbers and then let Violet y on her own while she went off to find someone. Violet curved her lips, just feel and this Summer inexplicable affinity. If Summer and David could be a couple, she would be happy to hear about it. The party started and the patriarch of the Scott family came out and said a few words of ceremony before handing the stage over to Marcus. Marcus''s face was still bruised, but it didn''t stop him from being spirited at the moment. He spoke eloquently, raising his ss and gesturing with Dominic to wish the twopanies a happy partnership. Violet sips her wine and her eyes fall on Louis. The man stood in the crowd, even if surrounded by people, but still like a shining star, so that people saw him at once. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. This time, he lost to Marcus, howe he didn''t react at all? I think it should be reluctant, just did not show it. Violet''s heart was inexplicably a bit ufortable. Because she was involved again. Although Louis said that he believes in himself, but she is ufortable in her heart. Just want to know a truth. On that day, why did Harry call himself to the president''s office on purpose? She had told Louis about Harry''s perversity, so why did Louis not move at all? Why is Harry still well enough to stay with Louis as a special assistant? Moreover, Infinity Tech Company is apany owned by Louis'' cousins, and the three of them met to discuss business matters after returning to China, but in the end, why did the partnership case go to the Scott Group? There seems to be a thread that is pulling something. Violet looked at Louis steadily, and something shed through her mind. Louis has always had a deep heart, making it impossible for people to see through him. Is he really willing to admit defeat? Or is he nning something? "Well, for the rest of the night, everyone eat, y and enjoy the night to the fullest." Marcus smiled and said the closing words, everyone apuded and the party officially began. Violet''s thoughts wandered and she withdrew her eyes. "Violet, when the party is over, I''m going to pick up Evie, so you cane with me." Isaac walked over to Violet with his ss and spoke softly. Violet nced at him, not noticing Dolly following. "Isaac, youe out here with me, I want to talk to you." "Good." Without a second thought, Isaac followed her out of the banquet hall. Not far away, Louis nced gently, his dark eyes narrowed. Someone has a lot of escorts around him. Being his man, did he have to warn her? The back garden of the banquet hall. "Violet, what do you want to talk to me about?" Isaac took off his jacket and draped it over her. Violet didn''t beat around the bush. "Isaac, Evie is your girlfriend, howe you came here tonight and didn''t let Evie be your date, but let Dolly be your date?" Isaac froze, "Violet, I didn''t think about it that much, Nuanxin is my secretary, mypany just opened and I''m used to bringing her to such asions." "Getting used to having Dolly around? So you know she''s got it in for you?" Violet asked. Isaac froze again andughed, "Violet, Nuanxin and I are just up and down, and she told me she has a crush on someone." Chapter 376 Chapter 376 Dolly has a crush on someone? Maybe that''s how smart she is. Afraid Isaac noticed something, so deliberately found an excuse to stay with him. When the day is ripe, pry off Evie''s wall. Violet pursed her lips, pulled out her phone and yed the recording of her and Dolly. "Miss Stewart, you really like Isaac, don''t you?" "Miss Helena, Isaac is a wonderful man, and there''s nothing wrong with me liking him, is there?" "So you know he''s getting married soon Miss Stewart, the person he''s marrying is my cousin, I hope you settle down and don''t ruin it for the two of them." "Miss Helena, a fairdy is a martyr. Not to mention that Isaac is not married yet, even if he is, so what? Is it wrong for me to like him?" "......" Listening to the conversation on the recording, the smile on Isaac''s face narrowed a little. When Violet put the phone away, he was silent for a moment and said, "I''m sorry, it was an oversight on my part." Hispany had just opened and his energy was limited and he spent most of his time at work. Of course, he was no dummy, and sensed that Dolly was overly enthusiastic about herself. That''s why he asked if she had a favorite. And she was generous enough to say that she had someone she liked. He was relieved to have her with him and attended various drinking parties. Because there is no denying that Dolly has great social skills. In the early days of hispany, he needed a woman like Dolly to maneuver around the mall for him. "Isaac, I know you are a good and responsible man, and I also know that there must be many girls who would like a man like you." Violet looked at Isaac, "I just want to ask you, what exactly is your attitude towards Evie? When you say you''re going to marry her, is it for something perfunctory, or do you really intend to have a good life with her?" Hearing this, Isaac hurriedly said, "Violet, what kind of person I am, don''t you know it well? I said I would marry Evie, of course I intend to live a good life with her." What can he perfume? Although Evie really wasn''t the one he wanted to marry the most. But he made hismitment with a lot of thought. "Okay, in that case, what are you going to do now?" Violet naturally trusts Isaac''s character. So what will he do with Dolly? Isaac was silent. He understood that Violet was asking him to make a decision. If he was to marry Evie, then Dolly could no longer stay with him. But his career was just getting started, and he needed someone like Dolly. Violet felt a little cruel. She knows Isaac is in a difficult position. But the long pain is better than the short pain. If he insists on keeping Dolly around, then with Dolly''s mind, countless things will definitely be born in the future. "Isaac, Dolly is not a peaceful woman. I''ve heard Evie say that she waltzed into your house several times while you were drunk and wore your shirt under the guise of taking care of you, and she left lipstick marks on your white shirt! It was a tant provocation!" Violet paused, looked at Isaac''s eyes shed in shock, said, "Think about it yourself, whether you want to keep such a woman around." If he insists on keeping Dolly around, it proves that Evie doesn''t carry much weight in his heart. Then she would advise Evie to die of marrying Isaac. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Because it''s not worth it. Even if the two are married, sooner orter, Evie will regret marrying him. "What you just said about the situation, was that all Evie told you?" Isaac spoke up and asked. "Yes." "That silly girl, why didn''t you tell me earlier? She must be very upset, right?" Isaac shook his head helplessly and looked at Violet and asked. Chapter 377 Chapter 377 Violet curled her lips, "She''s been doing things out of her mind thest few days." "I got it, I''ll take care of this." Isaac took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. Violet gave him a look, knowing that he had a decision in mind. I think it should not disappoint her. "Isaac, Evie treats her feelings purely, treat her well." Isaac gave her a look and nodded, "It''s windy out, go inside." "You go in first, it''s a little stuffy in there, I want to get some air before I go in." Violet gathered his suit and strode forward with confidence. Isaac watched her back and turned to advance into the ballroom. At this time, the flowers in the back garden are fragrant. Violet sniffed the flowers lightly and walked slowly, admiring the night scene outside. "Grace, it''s you again! What are you up to? You almost hit me with your carst time, and now you almost hit me again! Did you do it on purpose? I''m warning you, if anything happens to the baby in my belly, I''ll make you look good!" Not far away came the shrill cry of a woman. This is Jasmine''s voice. She''s really pregnant! Violet''s eyes twitched and she walked towards the sound. Under aurel tree, Jasmine stood face to face with Grace, holding her stomach. Jasmine is screaming and cursing, while Grace''s look is unknown. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. "Useless thing, if I could not let you diaphragm Violet, I really want to break you! Why don''t you hurry up and go back to Louis!" Jasmine screamed and cursed again. Violet''s footsteps, body hidden behind a tree, fixedly watching the two. What did she just hear? What did Jasmine''s words mean? What is she going to break down Grace? What secrets does Grace have on her that can diabolize her? Violet''s heart was like a cat''s w scratching, it was too hard. As she watched Grace leave with a cold face, she flipped back and forth to Jasmine''s words and suddenly her eyes lit up. When she thought about it, Grace looked at Jasmine with hostile eyes. This is the look of a love rival. Jasmine is now Marcus'' real girlfriend and she is pregnant with Marcus'' child. And just now Jasmine also said that Grace almost hit her with her carst time and now she almost hit her again. This is an attempt to shock Jasmine and make her miscarry the baby in her belly! Does it mean that the person Grace likes is Marcus? It is! She hadn''t forgotten before that when she met Marcus in the hotel, Grace looked at herself with hostile eyes as well. At that time she felt strange, and thenbined with now ...... Violet felt she had discovered a great secret. Grace is hanging on to Louis while she likes Marcus? So maybe Grace was the one who leaked thest n and tried to nt it on her head! Violet''s heart was pounding, and she just wanted to tell Louis about the discovery quickly. She hastily pulled out her phone, but hesitated. This is Louis''s family business, and she does not have any evidence in hand, only a guess, Louis will believe? He didn''t think she had something in mind for him to deliberately nder Grace! Tick, a messagees in on the phone. "Is the view from the back garden nice?" Chapter 378 Chapter 378 It''s Hendrix''s message! He actually knew he was in the back garden now? Is he here too? Violet looked at the screen and typed a line, "You followed me?" How could it be such a coincidence? Who the hell is this Hendrix? Violet looked around, mentally guessing who this person really was. There is not much around, not far apart from a few couples, did not see the old and ugly man appeared. No! There is a janitor, at this moment, is cleaning up the garbage in the garden! Could Hendrix be him! Violet''s heart jumped and her eyes went straight to the man. The man, probably sensing that she was looking at him, straightened up and grinned towards her. Violet drew a backward breath and turned her back in a hurry. The heart is chagrined. Although she has little concept of rank, isn''t it a bit too speechless to be pestered by an old and ugly janitor? Tick, another message came on the phone. "Why do you always think of people in a bad light? Now that you''ve met them, aren''t you going to meet them?" Another message from Hendrix. He wants to meet with himself! Violet stared at the message and turned her head abruptly. The janitor was stillboring at this time, and did not have a cell phone in his hand. So this Hendrix is not a janitor? Who would that be? Violet''s mind suddenly shed back to Louis'' figure. Although she was drunk that day, she always felt that the person she was with was Louis. I thought Louis and Summer had spent the night together, but now it turns out that wasn''t the case. So this Hendrix, could it be that Louis is ying a trick? But if it is really Louis, the moment he meets with himself, won''t the lie be uncovered? Or, did he find it pointless to tease her anymore, so he nned to confess to her? While thinking, Hendrix sent another message. "Just keep walking towards your left and you''ll see me." Violet gripped her phone tightly, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the left. Who the hell is this Hendrix? She needs to find out! To the left is a small forest. Violet slowly walked forward, and saw a man standing in front of her. Tall and upright figure, standing in the night, looks extraordinarily grand. Violet''s footsteps stopped and she looked steadily at the man''s back, her heart pounding. This back, how so like Louis? Is it him? Is the man who calls himself Hendrix Louis? At that moment, the man heard the movement and slowly turned his head. The man is handsome, with starry eyes containing a smile, and is looking straight at Violet. Not Louis! Violet''s breath hitched and she looked at the man in front of her, unable to say whether she was more disappointed or relieved. She was overthinking it! This man is not Louis at all, but the body shape and looks are a little simr to Louis. So she was in a drunken state and thought the person she was having sex with was Louis. "Violet." The man sees Violet standing still and slowly walks towards her. Violet looked back and asked, "You''re Hendrix?" Louis stood in front of her, looked into her clear eyes and hooked his lips. "It''s me." The man''s voice was a little deep and Violet pursed her lips, "What are you seeing me for? I should have made it clear to you, right?" She had said that the night was an ident and that we could just forget about each other.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Chapter 379 Chapter 379 "You are making it very clear that my looks, then, are still satisfactory to you?" Louis raised his eyebrows slightly in interest. Violet frowned slightly, "What does it matter to me what you look like? Since you remember what I said to you, then don''t bother me in the future." She just wanted to clear her mind with this strange man and had long forgotten what she had said to him. Louisughed lightly, "Violet, didn''t you say that you would consider being my girlfriend as long as I didn''t look like your ex-husband? So, I look like this, do you think I can bepared to your ex- husband?" Violet: "......" This man, the reason why he met with himself today, is to let himself see his real face, can he be To be honest, the handsomeness of this face is on par with Louis. But how can her joking words be taken seriously? Didn''t Natalie say that the men she met were old and ugly? Only then did he make up a few words himself, trying to scare off this strange man. Who would have thought that he was so handsome? Violet''s eyes dodged for a moment, "In my heart, no one can match my ex-husband''s face value. I''m Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. still saying that the night is over, so don''t bother me again." Slipping away! She doesn''t want to have anything to do with a strange man. The woman fell away, Louis mouth hooked in a smile, slowly raised his hand to touch his face. This human skin mask was made by Dominic with the most advanced technology and made in the shape of his face. The handsomeness is nothing less than your own real face. He just couldn''t believe that Violet would find this face unattractive. Still, her words soothed his heart. So in her heart, his face is unmatched? Up ahead, Violet let out a long breath and nced back into the grove. There is no one there anymore. That Hendrix, appearing inexplicably, can not really haunt themselves. She doesn''t want a bad rtionship. Violet pursed her lips and pushed open the door to the ballroom to enter. The person inside just happened toe out and the two bumped into each other. "I''m sorry." Violet hurriedly stood firm and was the first to say sorry. The other person stumbled and almost fell, the hand covering the chest was removed and the clothes just fell off. She shrieked, pulled up her clothes with a panicked look, red at Violet in shame and annoyance, and left in disarray. It''s Nancy! Her dress is somehow torn and has just been fully exposed! Violet blinked when she heard Summer''s shout from behind her. "Helena." Violet turned around and saw Summer walking up to her with a ss of wine and a smile. "Where have you been? I didn''t even see a good show just now." So, it was Summer''s doing that Nancy would be like this? "Forget it, don''t look at it, I''m afraid of spicy eyes." "Hey, with that body of hers, there''s really nothing to see." "But I love to hear gossip, Summer tell me, how do you return the favor in the same way as the others?" "Isn''t it just a matter of finding that waitress again and making her pay it back twice as much?" "......" Violet and Summer joked around for a while, and Summer looked at her with a look of pity. "Helena, I didn''t know much about you before, but now, I quite like you. You and Louis are quite Violet: "......" To say that they arepatible, Summer and David are quitepatible. Both love to be matchmakers! "Summer, your rtionship with Mr. Johnson should be very good, right? So why did you choose to cooperate with Su this time? Is Mr. Johnson nning something?" Violet''s eyes shed and she changed the subject. Summer''s eyes rolled and she put her arm around her, "Helena, if you remarry Louis and be his, I''ll tell you anything you want to know." Violet: "......" No need to tempt her! She said that, Louis is definitely nning something! Chapter 380 Chapter 380 Violet stayed at the party for a while longer and was ready to go back with Isaac. As she walked away, she saw Dolly''s eyes were red and she stood a short distance away watching her and Isaac. Looks like Isaac has cleared it with her? That''s fine. Violet curled her lips, called a chauffeur for Isaac, and returned to the store in Isaac''s car. Tasty Interlude Bakery, Evie is organizing the store. Her heart clenched when she saw Violet returning with Isaac. Isaac went to the reception without himself because his sister was there, right? Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. If he took her along, he wouldn''t be able to keep an eye on his sister as usual, would he? "Evie, Isaac''s here to pick you up, so stop your busy schedule and go on your date." Violetughs and pushes Evie towards Isaac. Evie lowered her eyes slightly, bit her lip, and silently took off the apron she was wearing. "Violet, we''ll go first then." Isaac swept Evie away and said goodbye to Violet. "See youter, sister." Evie whispered, hanging her head slightly without looking at Violet, and left with Isaac. Violet clearly felt Evie''s mood was a bit low. She sighed and watched the two leave, ready to close the store and head upstairs. At that moment, a message came in on the phone. She took a look at it and her eyebrows knitted. is a Hendrix message. It reads, "Home?" This man, did he not understand her words? Didn''t we say no more contact? "Mr. Hendrix, I''ll tell you again solemnly, I''ll never get married in my life, so I won''t have a boyfriend either, please stop pestering me." Violet typed down a quick line. Soon, the other party returned a message over. "So a woman can talk without talking? Obviously you''re happy with my looks, aren''t you? Or are you saying that you can''t get over your ex-husband?" Violet: "......" The man is not finished. Violet didn''t bother to talk to him and tried to put her phone away. Tick, another messagees in. Violet took one look at it and almost gasped. It reads, "It''s a virtue to be exclusive with your feelings, so here''s the deal, I''ll allow you to think about your ex-husband, but the other men, you better keep your distance from them, otherwise, I don''t mind making public what happened between us that night." This man''s brain circuit is not the same as others ah! "What the hell do you want? I told you, I''m not getting married and I''m not ying around with anyone. You won''t get anything out of me!" "Take it easy, I don''t n on getting anything on you either. In the future, you''ll see how good I am." The man sent another message over. Is she determined to pester her? Violet breathlessly stroked her forehead, put the phone back in her pocket, closed the door and stopped paying attention to him. In a luxury car on the side of the road, Louis looked at the store with its lights out and hooked his lips in a smile. After a moment of silence, he instructed the driver to drive. Tick, a message from Dominices on the phone. "Brother, where have you been? Did you go after your ex-wife? Is the human skin mask working well?" Works well, works very well. Starting tomorrow, hees into her life with a whole new identity. ...... The driver drove Isaac and Evie back to Isaac''s ce. Along the way, Isaac watched Evie look out the window in silence and reached out to take her hand in his. "Unhappy?" The man''s voice was gentle. Evie''s nasal cavity was inexplicably sore. She dropped her head slightly and whispered, "No." "And you say no? Evie, we grew up together, it''s written on your face what''s on your mind." Isaac wrenched her head around so she was facing him. Evie bites her lip, her eyes red and silent. Isaac gave a dark sigh and rubbed her soft hair, "Evie, let''s go get our license tomorrow, okay?" A word that caused Evie to look up sharply, a light shing in her big, wet eyes. Chapter 381 Chapter 381 But the thought of what, the light in her eyes slowly darkened again. "Isaac, also ...... or not!" The person he loves is not her, he suddenly wants to get a license with her, must not be willingly. She doesn''t want him to regret it in the future. "Evie, you won''t marry me?" Isaac asked, looking at Evie. Evie shook her head in a hurry. "No, I ......" Of course she would like to marry him. But what about him? Did he really marry her willingly? "Evie, I heard it all from Violet." Isaac took her by the shoulders and looked straight at her, "silly girl, why didn''t you tell me about Dolly? All alone with your silly ramblings, you don''t trust me that much?" The man''s tone is as gentle as water as ever. Evie''s white fingers twisted and her head hung even lower. So, he suddenly said he wanted to get a license with himself because his sister said something to him, right? He listens to his sister on everything. He doesn''t really like himself, does he? Evie''s nostrils red a bit, and she slowly looked up and gathered her courage to say, "Isaac, I want to ask you a question." "What''s the problem?" "I want to know if you want to marry me because you like me and want to marry me, or because you want to put your sister at ease?" A statement that silenced Isaac for a moment. Evie''s heart began to panic in the silence. "Forget it, Isaac, you don''t have to answer, I know all about it. I''m not in a good mood today, so just pretend I didn''t ask the question just now. Can you send me back first? I want to be alone for a while." What''s wrong with her? To ask such silly questions? Isaac''s heart likes who is, she does not already know? Is asking this to embarrass all three of them? "Evie, since you asked today, I''ll be frank with you too." Isaac straightened up and said to the driver, "Master, please pull over the car." "Huh? We haven''t reached our destination yet." "It''s okay, this is it." Isaac paid for the car, then looked at Evie, who was biting her lip and looking apprehensive. "Evie, we grew up together, you should know that the person I have always loved in my heart is your sister. I admit that my love for you is not yet to the extent of deep love." Here ites! He spoke his heart out! So, he''s going to break up with himself soon? What a way to ask for it! How could she be jealous of her sister? This is good, she has cut her marriage off. Evie''s head hung slightly, tears zing down. A sigh of relief, the man''s warm fingers wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. "Don''t cry, silly girl, although my love for you is not to the extent of deep love, but I want to marry you with all my heart. You''ve been following me around since I was a kid, Isaac long Isaac short, I''m not heartless, I just forced myself to ignore you." "Now I look back and I see you at first nce. evie, will you give me a chance to love you deeply, to be my partner, to run my life with me in the future?" The man''s tone was gentle and sincere. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Evie froze and looked at Isaac, not believing her ears for a moment. Was he just confessing his love for himself? He wants her to give him a chance to love her deeply! She ...... is willing! "Isaac!" Evie jumped into his arms at once, grabbed the hem of his shirt and whimpered. Isaacughed lightly and stroked her hair, "silly girl, don''t cry, I''ll take you to blow the wind!" "Oooh, Isaac, you''re a silly girl at every turn, am I really stupid?" "Yes, how cute is a silly girl? I want you to be my silly girl for life!" "......" The following day. Violet and Josie went downstairs together to get ready to take Erin to school. In a luxury car on the roadside, the door opened and someone stepped out of it. Chapter 382 Chapter 382 The visitor had a long figure and a slight smile on his handsome face. Hendrix? Why is he here? Is it not over? Violet watched as Louis, in the guise of Hendrix, walked towards her, her eyebrows knitted together. "What brings you here?" Louis deliberately changed into a casual dress today, looking more youthful than his original self. He stood in front of Violet and curled his lips into a smile, "to let you get to know me better." With that, he shifted his eyes to Erin, who was being held by Violet. "Hello, little princess, I''m Uncle Hendrix, your mommy''s new friend." Erin shed her big eyes and tilted her little head. "Uncle Hendrix, are you courting my mommy?" "Yes, Uncle Hendrix hold." Louis picked Erin up from Violet and smiled, "Come on, Uncle Hendrix will take you to school." The man''s arms were strong and Erin''s small arms wrapped around his neck, a sh of novelty in her big bright eyes. This Uncle Hendrix, smells like Uncle Louis! She likes it quite a bit. Cosmo ...... "Uncle Hendrix, although you are also quite handsome, but I prefer Uncle Louis." Mommy has a new suitor! Uncle Louis has a love interest! What should I do? "Is that so? That''s okay, I don''t mind if you like your Uncle Louis." "Kossel, Uncle Louis is also courting my mommy yeah." "It''s okay, fair y." "......" Behind her, Violet watched the scene and didn''t react for a moment. Josie, on the other hand, was even more dumbfounded. "Violet, what, what''s going on here? Who is he? Since when do you have a new suitor?" Violet was speechless and watched as Louis carried Erin into his car and hurriedly said, "Josie, let''s talk about this when I get back, I''ll take Erin to school first." This Hendrix, what does he want? Violet walked over to the car and red at Louis, "Mr. Hendrix, what the hell do you want?" "Wooing you." Louis hooked his lips and smiled. "I said I''m not getting married in this life! Don''t you understand?" Violet wrinkled her brow. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Gotcha, I''m not asking you to marry me right now." Louis pulled open the driver''s side door, "Aren''t you getting in? If you''re busy, you don''t have to. I''ll just take Erin to kindergarten." This man, who even knows her daughter''s nickname. Who the hell is he? Did you investigate her? Violet''s eyebrows knitted tighter. When she saw Louis get on the driver''s side, she hurriedly got on the passenger side and looked at him with a wary face. The man idly fastened his seat belt. Those bony hands are long and slender like an artist''s hands. Also like ...... The figure of Louis suddenly shed in my mind. Howe the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this man looked like Louis in particr, except for that face? "Violet, I know I''m good looking, but I get distracted when you keep staring at me." Louis started the car and teased with a light smile. Violet choked and reacted to the fact that she had been staring at people, and subconsciously sat up straight to look ahead. After thinking about it, she asked, "What exactly are you? What do you do?" "Violet, you finally want to get to know me?" Louis raised an eyebrow and spoke up. Violet wrinkled her eyebrows and red at him in disgust, "You don''t say what you like." "I''m just a regr guy, currently single, and a regr skilled worker at ...... The Johnson Group by profession." Chapter 383 Chapter 383 Louis ndly babbled. Violet pursed her lips and looked out the window without speaking again. Afraid to give someone the suspicion of wanting to get to know him better. Erin in the back seat wiggling her little legs, looking here and there, her little head tilted and tilted. Mommy has a new suitor. Should we tell Uncle Louis? The car soon arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten. Louis parked the car, carried Erin out of the car and walked towards the kindergarten entrance. Erin nuzzled Louis''s neck and sniffed again with her little nose. Louis noticed her little movement and raised an eyebrow and asked, "Erin, what are you sniffing?" "Smelling you!" "Oh? Do I smell like something?" "Well, you smell as good as Uncle Louis." Erin would not lie and said truthfully. Louis walked up to the door and set her down, "So how do you like it?" Erin blinked her big eyes and tilted her head a bit tangled. "I still only like Uncle Louis." What a little cutie! Louis'' heart was a soft mess and he reached out to rub her little head. Violet was a step behind, unable to hear the two, but could see that Louis'' fondness for Erin was not feigned. The heart suddenly surged with a hint of anomaly. At that moment, the clear voice of the little boy came from behind. "Auntie Violet, Erin." It''s Lukaing. Violet turned her head and saw Luka walking to the kindergarten entrance with a driver escort. "Luka!" Erin saw Lukaing and burst intoughter. Luka walked over and took her hand, ncing at Violet and then back to Louis, a hint of caution shing in her dark eyes. Who is this person? With his back to him before, he thought it was his father! But it turned out to be a stranger! How did he get to send Erin to kindergarten with Auntie Violet? Louis touched his own son''s not-so-friendly gaze and a smile shed in his eyes. The little guy was right to be wary of himself! "Okay, Luka, Erin, you guys get in there." Violet arranged the clothes for the two children and said softly. "Bye mommy, bye Uncle Hendrix." Erin waved a small hand with the two. "Bye Auntie Violet." Luka said goodbye to Violet, looked at Louis again, and then led Erin into the nursery. "Erin, who is that man?" Once inside, Luka asked Erin about it. "Luka, I tell you oh, that''s Uncle Hendrix, Mommy''s new suitor." Erin milked back. Auntie Violet has a new suitor? Then we have to tell dad quickly! Outside. Louis pulled the car door open for Violet, "Where are we going now?" "Thanks, I''ll go back to the store." Violet, with little expression on her face, got in the car and fastened her seat belt. The beeping on her phone kept ringing as someone kept sending her messages. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Violet took out her phone and looked at it, several messages were from Josie. "Violet, I can''t wait, tell me, what''s going on?" "Violet, who is that man? When did you meet him? Why do I feel he looks a bit like Louis?" "Violet, did you beg and plead for a recement for Louis!" "......" Chapter 384 Chapter 384 Watching Josieunch a rant against her, Violet stroked her forehead and sent a message back. "Josie, I''ve got some not so good news for you, I''ve been taken advantage of by strangers again!" Violet told Josie roughly what had happened. On the other end of the phone, Josie was sitting in Austin''s car, staring at the phone screen with a stunned look on her face. Girlfriend taken advantage of by strangers again? It''s the man who came today! Although the man is still quite good-looking, this is too absurd. It''s all her fault! She should not have listened to Austin that night and left Violet alone in the clubhouse. It caused her to fall into the hands of strangers. Thinking, Josie jerked her eyes up to look at Austin, "Austin, stop the car!" Austin froze and just thought something big had happened, hastily put the steering wheel on and stopped at the side of the road. "What''s wrong? What''s wrong?" "Austin, it''s all your fault! You bastard!" Josie mmed her bag at Austin and then opened the car door in a huff. Austin was stoned. Reacting, he got out of the car and pulled Josie who was leaving. "How am I an asshole? Tell me clearly!" "It''s all because of you, causing Violet to be taken advantage of by a strange man, say you''re not a bastard!" Josie cursed again. Austin was confused, and in questioning he learned that it was thest time he was in the clubhouse. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. "You let go and don''te back to me in the future." Josie shrugged off Austin and hailed a taxi on the side of the road and got in. The car sped away, and Austin stood frozen in ce, his head still confused. No way! Violet spent a night with a strange man that night? So what is Louis doing? He saw Louis with Violet that night! Even if our own brother doesn''t have something going on with Violet, he wouldn''t leave Violet in the clubhouse and let her be taken advantage of by another man, would he? Something must have gone wrong! No, he had to ask the right questions to get it right. Otherwise, his girlfriend will run away! Violet returned to the store in Louis'' car. "Thank you for taking Erin to kindergarten today, but I still hope, just this once, that you won''te back to me in the future." Violet felt the need to reiterate her decision and finished preparing to get out of the car. The car door was locked. Violet did not pull open the car door, the moment the brow wrinkled. "You ......" The man bullied his way over, and his tall figure instantly circled her in it. Violet looked at the man''s face close at hand, half a sentence choked in the throat. Louis'' eyebrows contained a smile, "Do you hate me that much?" The man''s voice was low and slow, and Violet smelled the seemingly masculine scent and swallowed ufortably. "What are you doing? Can''t you sit up straight and talk properly?" "Yes, but I don''t want to." Violet: "......" This man, do you want to answer so justifiably? Violet put her hands against her chest and red at Louis, "I can''t say I hate you, but I definitely don''t like you either. You''re an irrelevant being to me, and I don''t feel the need to waste each other''s time." That''s really cold and detached tight. Louisughed lightly, "I am an insignificant existence to you, but you are not to me. violet, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of being attracted to me?" "Nonsense!" Chapter 385 Chapter 385 Violet wrinkled her brow and returned the question. "Since you are not afraid of moving on to me, just let nature take its course. Think about your daughter, she is growing up day by day, don''t you really want to give her aplete family?" Louis'' dark eyes were deep, poking directly at her softness. He knew that Violet cared most about her daughter. For the sake of her daughter, shouldn''t she also give herself a chance? After all, his status is now single na. Ba-da-da. The car lock was opened. Louis slowly sat up straight. Violet stared at him nkly, her mind still recalling hisst words. It was only after a long time that she came back to her senses at his usible smile. Is this man a psychology student? It is also too good at figuring out people''s hearts. Violet hurriedly pulled open the car door and got out, hiding the ufortable look in her eyes. The window rolled down, Louis hooked his lips and smiled, "I''ll pick Erin up from school with you tonight." Violet: "......" He''s here for real! Really get involved in her life with her daughter? Violet stared at the speeding away car, her red lips pursed. After a long time, she let out a deep breath and walked somewhat distractedly towards the store. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Tasty Interlude Bakery. In the back kitchen, Natalie looked at Evie, who was humming softly and looked in a good mood, and her eyes shed slightly. "Evie, did you ask Isaacst night? Who did he bring to the reception?" Hearing these words, the smile on Evie''s face was slightly curbed. She stopped what she was doing and turned her head to look at Natalie. "Natalie, do you like Isaac too?" Natalie was stunned, "Huh? I didn''t!" "No? Then why do you keep picking on me and Isaac?" Evie looked directly at Natalie and questioned. "I didn''t! Evie, you misunderstood, I treated you as a friend before I kindly reminded you." "Is that so? You keep saying that Isaac only sees me as a backup, and deliberately telling me that Isaac won''t take me to the reception is actually a deliberate attempt to irritate me isn''t it?" Evie''s small face was slightly tense, "I can''t think of any reason why you would do that, there''s only one reason, and that''s that you have a crush on Isaac too." "No, how can I like Isaac?I obviously ......" Natalie snorted lightly, the words almosting out of her mouth. Only eventually, her sanity returned and she did not utter thetter half of the sentence. She was about to say something else when, in her afterglow, she saw a slim figure standing in the doorway, looking at her with a serious face. Natalie blushed and stammered, "Miss Helena." Violet didn''t expect to hear Evie''s questioning of Natalie. She stared at Natalie, "Natalie, so you came here to learn makeup from me, just an excuse? Is the real purpose to provoke Evie and Isaac''s rtionship?" "No, Miss Helena, you listen to me ......" Natalie''s eyes instantly glowed red with anxiety. Violet didn''t want to hear her arguments. "Natalie, you can go now." "Miss Helena, are you firing me?" Natalie grabbed Violet''s hand and tears poured down her face, "Miss Helena, I really don''t covet Isaac, I really do think of you guys as friends." Violet''s face was cool and she shook off Natalie''s hand. Evie, who was watching Natalie''s aggressive crying, was a little upset. "Natalie, you go up first, I need to talk to Sis alone for a few minutes." Natalie looked at her, then at Violet, and wiped her tears as she slowly made her way upstairs. When people left, Evie took Violet''s hand, "Sis, why don''t we just forget about it, I was just saying that Natalie might not have bad intentions." Chapter 386 Chapter 386 Hearing Evie''s words, Violet smiled faintly, "Is the mood any better?" Evie hung her head in shame, "Isaac and I will go ahead and get our license tomorrow, we made everything clear yesterday." It seems that there is progress between the two. Violet was slightly relieved and reached out to help her fix her hair around her ears. "That''s good." Evie raised her eyes, her eyes were slightly warm, "Sis, I''m sorry, I''ve been a bit out of shape for the past two days. And, I, I was jealous of you, will you me me?" Violet froze, then lost her smile, "Silly girl, we grew up together, I still don''t know what''s in your mind? No matter what you do I won''t me you, you''ll always be my most beloved sister." That''s the way it is between good sisters, no matter what misunderstandings there are, they will eventually open up. "Sister, you are so good to me." "I only have one sister, so if I don''t treat you well, who will?" "......" After the two of them had a little bit of fun, Violet went upstairs. Natalie was standing in the lounge area and was looking at her with red eyes. Violet''s eyebrows knitted slightly and she called the store manager into her office and asked her to bring out Natalie''s resume. She didn''t notice it before, but just now she vaguely thought of something. Natalie, Dolly, these two names are quite close to each other. Could it matter? Violet looked at Natalie''s resume and saw something in the family members section. Dolly is Natalie''s sister! At that moment, the office door was pushed open and Natalie made a cup of tea for Violet and came in. When she came to her desk and saw her resume, her almond eyes shed slightly. "Miss Helena, I''m sorry, I have a confession to make to you." Violet closed her resume and looked up at her, "Go ahead." "Actually, the secretary next to Isaac is my sister, and she likes Isaac, so she asked me to put some eye candy on Evie from time to time while I''m here studying with you so she can have a chance with Isaac." Dolly''s tears fell as soon as she said, she sucked her nose and pleaded, "Miss Helena, it was my moment of confusion, because it was my sister, I couldn''t bear to see her suffer, so I did the wrong thing, can you forgive me for once?" Hearing this, Violet looked at her steadily for two seconds and finally said, "All right, let''s end this matter here. I don''t like employees who chew the cud, if there is another time, I will never keep you." For the sake of her work is still serious and responsible, she let her stay. Let''s see what she doester. "Thank you Miss Helena." Natalie wiped away her tears and breathed a huge sigh of relief. So close, so close to being driven away. The good thing is that she knows that Violet eats soft but not hard, as long as she acts soft, she will definitely be soft. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. She is the one she adores. How wonderful it would be if she could spoil herself as much as Evie! ...... the Williams Manor. Nancy looked at the photo Ciara sent her and was so angry that she cut the fabric on the table with a pair of scissors. The photo is of myself making a fool of myself at the partyst night. The same waitress, the same her body showed a little, but the end was different. Summer, with Violet''s help, had all those revealing photos deleted, but her photos were all over the ce in her circle. Ahhhhh! How did this happen! How did that stupid, unbelievable waitere to screw her? She was about to die of anger! "Miller, you really want to divorce me? Fine! I want half of the Williams family''s assets!" Chapter 387 Chapter 387 "Alisha, you''re an old woman who doesn''t do anything, and you want to share half of my property? You''re dreaming!" "Why am I dreaming? Joint property of husband and wife, it should be equally divided in divorce, shouldn''t it?" "You''ve shamelessly gone to a male publicist, and you still want to share the property with me equally?" "Then aren''t you also having a mistress? We are both at fault!" "......" The sound of a quarrel came from downstairs, and Nancy was in a more irritable mood. How did shee to be born into such a family? If her parents had divorced, wouldn''t the Bergen family have looked down on her even more? What a bore! Nancy stood up with a scuffle and opened the door to go downstairs. Downstairs, Miller and Alisha argue. "Miller, don''t be so stupid. Do you think that woman really loves you? All she loves is your money." "Alisha, don''t denigrate Sia! She''s not as snobbish as you are." "Really? Then you''re clean! If you were penniless, do you think she would still stay with you?" "I''m out of the house? Leave all the money to you and your little white boy?" Alisha, you''ve got a good n! "......" The two of you and I are about to poke each other''s fingers in the face. Nancy took a deep breath and called out, "That''s enough, you two, are you done?" When she saw Nancying down, Alisha walked towards her with red eyes at once. Miller loosened the button on his cor and gave Alisha a stern look. Nancy looked at Miller and said, "Dad, you should be clear about how Mom has treated you all these years. You should think it over, for an outsider, you really want to divorce her?" Hearing this, Miller''s brows knitted, "Sia is pregnant and I have to give her an answer." "It''s not easy to give up, just give her a sum of money to get rid of it?" Nancy said in a light voice. "That won''t do, I can''t leave my son without a name." Miller stood with his hands in the air and his chin held high and said. "A son? Dad, are you sure the baby she''s carrying is a son? What if it''s not? Don''t you think it''s a loss?" Nancy said, "Dad, I know you dislike me for being a daughter, but you raised me so well, and soon I''ll be able to negotiate a marriage, are you sure you want to ruin everything at this point?" Hearing this, Miller nced at Nancy, a hint of hesitation shing across his face. Yes. The daughter will soon be able to negotiate a marriage, and they are targeting the Bergen family. The Bergen family is a big family, if their daughter really married into it, then the Williams family''s value will go up! "Miller, your daughter has been smart and clever since she was a child, don''t you want to see her well? She is your only daughter, she is good for you too." Alisha wiped her tears and spoke up at the right time, "I know that you''ve been holding a grudge that I didn''t give you a son. If Sia can really give you a son, I promise to step aside. But the premise is that you and I must now y the loving couple, not let the Bergen look down on our daughter, so that she can sessfully marry into the Bergen family." A generous statement. Miller couldn''t help but look at her skeptically. "Alisha, are you really willing to step aside?" "Of course I don''t like it! But who let me not give you a son? All these years, I''ve been feeling guilty." Alisha pretended to wipe her tears. "Mom, don''t cry, you still have me." Nancy cooperated by hugging Alisha, her eyes red. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. "O daughter, from now on we will be two dependent on each other." "Mom." Looking at the mother and daughter hugging and crying, Miller''s heart softened and he wanted to say something. At that moment, his cell phone rang. Chapter 388 Chapter 388 Miller took out his phone and looked at it, his eyes shing slightly. He coughed lightly, "Come on, stop crying, I didn''t say I was getting a divorce right away. sia is not feeling well right now, I have to go stay with her, I''ll go home once I get him settled." Miller finished and left. As soon as the door closed, Alisha wiped away her tears and bawled. "Old thing, what an egoist. Daughter, you are still smart enough to know to take your own affair." Miller is full of benefits. As soon as he heard that his daughter could bring benefits to himself, he did know what was more important. Nancy gave Alisha a look, "Mom, in case that bitch does have a son, will you really make them whole?" "Snort, daughter, am I that kind-hearted, your mother? I have my reasons for saying this, naturally. If she really gave birth to a son, then I would thank her for leaving offspring for the Williams familyt. But she wants to take this opportunity to rise to the top, that also depends on whether she has the life to survive!" Alisha''s eyes shed with a hint of severity, and Nancy looked at her without speaking. She agrees with her mother about her love interest. Never let anyone ruin your happiness. "Daughter, speaking of the Bergen family, have you seen Davidtely? Gotta cultivate more of a rtionship with him." Alisha spoke up as she thought about her daughter''s marriage. Nancy thought of David''s coldness toward her and said unhappily, "Mom, David doesn''t seem to feel much for me." "Gee, my daughter is so cute, how can a man not have feelings for you?" Alisha said soothingly, "Daughter, you don''t know how much David loved you as a child. Now that he''s grown up, and he''s a big star, it''s only natural that he''s tempered his emotions. As long as you marry him and let him taste you, still worry that he will not like you?" Hearing this, Nancy was in a better mood. "Okay Mom, I''ll find a chance to develop a rtionship with David, then I''ll go upstairs and get busy." "Daughter, are you preparing for that Gambiered Silk Design Contest?" "Yes. I''ve been selected as a semi-finalist." Nancy had a smug look on her face. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "My daughter is just great." Alishaplimented, "David''s mother is the chairperson of Gambiered Silk Association and one of the judges of thispetition. With her admiration for you, you''ll be the winner of this designpetition!" Hearing this, the smile on Nancy''s face intensified. She will definitely stand out in thepetition and let David see her talent and be attracted to herself! ...... Late afternoon. Kindergarten entrance. Violet looked at the man who had arrived as promised and couldn''t help but stroke her forehead. He didn''t just say that, he really came to pick Erin up from school. "Mr. Hendrix, it''s not supposed to be closing time yet, don''t you have to work?" Violet asked, looking at the tall, leggy man. Louis took off his sunsses and smiled towards Violet. "To work, but the leader heard that I came to chase my girlfriend, I was given special permission to leave early. After all, a stable family is a good thing for thepany, and a man with a family has responsibilities and will not easily jump ship." Violet was speechless when she said this. She turned her head away and didn''t bother to talk to him. At that moment, the school door opened and the children ran to their families like birds returning to their nests. "Mommy!" Erin sees Violet and runs towards her happily. Violet smiled and squatted down, giving her two mugs as usual. Erin giggled and shed her big eyes at Louis. "Uncle Hendrix, you''re here with my mommy to pick me up." Louis hooked his lips in a smile and picked her up in a hug, "Yes, happy?" "Well, a little happy, but I''d be happier if I reced you with Uncle Louis." This little lovely ah. Just like yourself that much? Louis'' eyebrows were filled withughter as he reached out and rubbed her soft hair. Luka, who followed, watched Erin being held by ''Hendrix'', and suddenly her little brow knitted. Chapter 389 Chapter 389 He had sent a message to his dad, why didn''t he react at all? Don''t you have time to meet this Uncle Hendrix? "Erin, tomorrow is the weekend, no school, now where do you want to go to y? Uncle will take you there." Louis asked Erin with a smile as if he hadn''t seen the unfriendly nces his son was casting. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Erin shed her big eyes and immediately said, "I want to go to the yground. Last time we went with Uncle Louis, there are still a lot of things we haven''t yed!" "Okay, uncle will take you to the yground to y." Louis raised his eyebrows and his mind shed back to thest time a few people went to the yground together. At once, his eyes subconsciously looked at his son at his feet. Should he go along today? Of course Luka heard what the two said, he pursed his little mouth and looked at Auntie Violet and said, "Auntie Violet, I don''t want to go back so early, can I go to the yground with you guys?" He has to help his dad watch Auntie Violet! We can''t let this Uncle Hendrix take advantage of it! Violet is ring at Louis. How can this man talk to himself? Did she say she allowed him to take her daughter to y? But his words have been said, and then look at the two children''s eyes expectantly, she can only put away the face of displeasure. "I have no problem with that, but do you want to check in with your dad and mommy?" These days, it seems that every time shees to pick up her daughter, she only sees The Johnson Family''s driver picking up Luka. Louis is probably busy at work, so he''s not avable to pick up the little one. But what about Grace? Is she that busy with her work? No, she was probably too busy dating other men to care about her son? Thinking of this, Violet suddenly looked at Luka''s eyes full ofpassion. It seems her suspicionsst night were right. Grace''s favorite person is Marcus. So, she started not to care about Luka. After all, now that Luka has imed his ancestors, she knows she won''t be able to take him away in the future, so she simply leaves him out in the cold! Grace can be a real snob. The little one is really unlucky to have such a mother. "It''s okay, I''ll just have Uncle Driver talk to Grandma Tai." Luka immediately spoke to the driver aside, and then took Violet''s hand. The little one''s little hands were soft and soft, and Violet held him tight, smiling towards the driver, then looking at Louis. "Then let''s go." "Okay, take my car?" "No, take my car." "OK." The four got into Violet''s car, with Louis acting as driver, and headed to the yground. On the way, only Erin was chattering and telling Violet interesting stories about school. Luka stared at the back of Louis'' head without saying a word. A hint of doubt shed in the dark eyes. Why did he think the back of this uncle''s head was so much like the back of his father''s head? No, not only the back of his head is simr, but his walking posture is also simr! How did Auntie Violet get to know someone like that? She''s not going to marry him, is she? The Luka kids are sitting on their hands a bit. He pulled his cell phone out of his small school bag and prepared to call Louis. Erin, sitting next to him, nced at him and chirped, "Luka, who are you calling?" "My dad." Chapter 390 Chapter 390 Louis on the driver''s side only felt the phone in his pocket vibrate, and his eyebrows jumped. This kid, almost demolished his identity! Fortunately, he kept an eye out and deliberately turned his phone on silent beforeing! The little guy in the back row waited for half a day, and when Louis didn''t answer the phone, he sent a message instead. "Dad, are you still busy? Come pick me up from the yground when you''re done. Don''t you want to know what Auntie Violet''s new suitor looks like?" Luka finished editing the message and tapped the send button. Louis'' phone vibrated again, and he nced in the rearview mirror and continued driving without moving. Find a chance, does he have to tell the kid his identity, lest he be bad! The car sped along and finally arrived at its destination. Erin simply wanted to y and dragged Luka happily into the yground. "You two run a little slower." Violet followed behind, smiling and admonishing the two. Louis walked slowly with his hands in his pockets, looking at therge and two small in front of him. The sunset afterglow, sprinkling a series ofughter, extraordinarily beautiful. "Auntie Violet, is it okay if I want to buy a water gun?" Passing a stall, Luka stopped and nced at the two behind her, her dark eyes moving. "That''s fine." Violet took out her phone and clicked on the payment code to pay. Louis subconsciously tried to pay for her. But the phone was halfway out and pressed back in. How did he forget that he is now Hendrix, not Louis. Almost habitually pulling out his phone. "Mommy, I want it too." Erin called out milky-voiced. "Good. Will you two see what else you want?" Violet paid the money and asked again. "And marshmallows." Erin looked aside at the marshmallows, her big eyes shining brightly. "Good." Violet didn''t have second thoughts and bought another marshmallow for the two. "Thank you Auntie Violet." Luka children with a water gun in one hand and a marshmallow in the other, looked at Louis who was standing aside and moved his little mouth. "Uncle Hendrix is so cheap, he can''t even spend money on a night out with us. They say on TV that a man who doesn''t spend money on a woman is not a good man. If my dad were here, he wouldn''t let Auntie Violet spend money." Louis: "......" Sure enough, it''s a real son, strength pit! "Well, yes! Uncle Hendrix, so you''re the stingy one? Then in the future Mommy can''t marry you because you won''t help Mommy raise me." Erin took a bite of the marshmallow and cocked her little head. Luka''s eyes shed cunningly and he nodded vigorously. Louis was simply speechless. He coughed lightly and picked Erin up in a hug. "No matter, uncle has plenty of money in his card, and if your mommy marries me in the future, I can give her all my money for safekeeping." "Really? Then why didn''t you just pay the money for us?" "Because your mommy is moving too fast. Go, uncle will take you to buy tickets." He was just one step slow and was crowned as a stingy ghost by his own son! How nice! No way! He had to hurry to find an opportunity to tell him his identity. Lest we get screwed by him again! Behind her, Luka''s small mouth pursed as she nced at Violet. "Auntie Violet, will you marry Uncle Hendrix?" Violet only found it funny. She also knew that Luka had said that on purpose. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Trying to make myself hate this Hendrix. "Luka, Auntie Violet shouldn''t be married to anyone for a while." She just wants to raise her daughter in peace and quiet. Luka blinked and didn''t say anything more. The eyes fell on the man who was ruling out buying tickets, and the little guy thought to himself that he must make a fool of himself and make Auntie Violet dislike him. "Auntie Violet, I''m thirsty." Chapter 391 Chapter 391 Luka licked her little mouth and spoke up. "Thirsty? I''ll go get some water, you stay with Uncle Hendrix and Erin." Violet nced at the kiosk not far away and softly admonished. Luka nodded, a hint of cunning shing in her big eyes. When Violet was far away, he looked over to Louis who was in line for tickets. At that moment, Louis had just bought his ticket and was walking towards him with Erin in his hand. "Well, the tickets are bought, which project do you two want to y first." "Well, I''m going to take the wooden horse first, then the carriage carriage ......" Erin pointed to this and that, all wanting to y. "Okay, first go on the wooden horse." Louis picked her up and walked to the carousel and put her on it. He then turned his head to look at Luka. At this time, Violet and Erin are not present, which is a good time to exin his identity. "Luka......" Cold, his body suddenly a cold. Louis choked on half a sentence in his throat when he saw the water gun in the little guy''s hand spraying at himself. This kid! Louis'' brow knitted and subconsciously reached out to take the water gun out of his hand. But unexpectedly, the little one suddenly sat down on the ground! "Uncle Hendrix, you hit a child! You''re violent!" Louis: "......" When did he hit him? This child, how dare he nder him? "What''s wrong what''s wrong Luka, why are you sitting on the floor?" Violet bought a few bottles of water and came over to see Luka sitting on the floor and Louis ring at him. "Auntie Violet, I identally shot at Uncle Hendrix ying with a water gun and he got mad and pushed me." Luka pretended to be aggrieved andined to Violet. Violet suddenly blushed coldly and hurriedly picked Luka up and patted the dust off his body for him. "Mr. Hendrix, the child is heartless, how can you push him?" Louis: "......" Great! I never thought his first stumbling block on the way to chase his wife would be his own son! Louis was so angry and funny, looking at Luka''s smug little expression, his long arms fished him into his arms. "Violet, you watch Erin while I take Luka to the bathroom to wash her hands." "Hey, no, you can''t do it to the child again know? Otherwise I can''t spare you." Violet wanted to go after her, but Erin was still sitting on the wooden horse, so she had to stop and give a couple of warnings. Luka''s little face in front of her was tense and she twisted her little body to get down. "Uncle Hendrix, you put me down, and I warn you, if you touch me, Auntie Violet will dislike you even more." Louis raised his eyebrows and looked at the little one''s resistant look and hooked his lips in a smile. "Are you that happy that Auntie Violet doesn''t like me?" He resumed his usual tone of voice, Luka''s struggling little body gave a beat and looked steadily at Louis, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. This voice is not what Uncle Hendrix just sounded like. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Instead, it sounds like Dad''s voice? "Brat, if you mess up again, I promise you''ll regret not marrying Auntie Violet." Louis added. Now Luka heard that it was his own father''s voice. But why does he look like this? "Are you a dad?" "It''s not quite stupid." Louis raised an eyebrow. "Are you really my father? I don''t believe you, do you have anything to prove it?" Luka''s little brow was knitted tightly with a wary face. "It''s quite vignt." Louisughed lightly and pulled out his cell phone from his pocket. "My phone, can you trust me now?" Luka took Louis''s phone and made sure it was her father''s phone. He raised his eyes to Louis and touched his face with his small hand. "Daddy, why do you look like this?" Chapter 392 Chapter 392 "It was Dad''s idea to go after Auntie Violet." Louis put the little guy on the ground and rubbed his little head, "So be good and don''t make any more noise and embarrass your dad." Luka looked up at him with a small frown, "Daddy, you''re cheating, is this really the way to go after Auntie Violet?" Louis was arranging his clothes in the mirror when he heard this, and his hands moved with a start. "It''s a lie in good faith, and what''s more, I''m not doing it for you?" He just wanted to make her fall in love with himself in another way. Is this cheating? Luka looked at Louis, his little mouth moved, and finally said nothing. Dad is an adult, he said this will get Auntie Violet, so it must be possible. Well, it''s good that he cooperated. "Let''s go." Louis briefly wiped the water stains on his clothes and then extended his hand towards Luka. Luka obediently took his hand and followed him back. By the merry-go-round, Violet is holding her daughter, who has just finished riding the carousel, and is wondering whether to go to Luka. At this time, a small andrge two hand in hand back. Violet hurriedly put her daughter down and greeted her. "Luka, don''t be afraid, tell Auntie Violet, did he hit you?" Luka nced at Louis and touched his deep eyes, and her big dark eyes shed for a moment. "Auntie Violet, I''m sorry, I just framed him, Uncle Hendrix is nice, he doesn''t hit kids." For the sake of his dad''s life, he had to confess to Auntie Violet. I hope Auntie Violet doesn''t get the wrong idea about her dad. Violet froze and gave Louis a somewhat suspicious look, then pulled Luka aside. "Luka, did you sneak up on Auntie Violet and tell her that he threatened you?" Howe the little guy''s attitude changed after a trip to the bathroom? It''s not quite right. "No, Auntie Violet, Uncle Hendrix is really nice, he likes Auntie Violet and he likes his sister, and I''m the one who shouldn''t nder him." Luka shook her head with a serious look on her face. Violet looked at him and just felt something odd somewhere. Louis on the side watched the two exchange words, the corners of his mouth hooked. He picked Erin up in his arms, "You guys take your time and talk, I''ll go y with Erin." Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. The son of his own son will always stop tearing himself apart like this. "Auntie Violet, let''s go y too." Luka took Violet''s hand and followed Louis'' lead. Violet looked at the tall, leggy man in front of her, and her almond eyes blinked. This man is really tactful, only a few minutes, let a child to speak well for him! What the hell did he say to Luka! So curious! "Mommy, Luka,e on, let''s ride in the carriage together." Erin was carried by Louis and stood in front of a project with an excited look on her face as she waved at Violet. Luka gave a hoot, a smile lifted on her little face, and pulled Violet close and ran over. This is simr to the roller coaster project. But not as exciting as the roller coaster. So a smaller child can also y. Louis nced at Violet, "Violet, sit?" Violet wanted to say she wasn''t interested, but when she met two pairs of big ck grape eyes, she swallowed her words. "Sit." Since we are here, we will fulfill the wishes of the two children and not let them go home in defeat. Louis hooked his lips and gave the four tickets to the ticket inspector. "Auntie Violet, I''ll sit with my sister, and you sit with Uncle Hendrix." Once inside, Luka burst out and then pulled Erin into a seat for two. Violet opened her mouth, not responding. By the time she reacted, she had already been pulled into the seat by Louis. Violet: "......" Chapter 393 Chapter 393 She came to y with her children. Not to apany this man to y well? "No, I''m still ......" Before the words were finished, the man beside him suddenly bullied his way over. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Violet froze and ducked her body to the side, "You, what are you doing?" The man raised an eyebrow and leaned slightly closer to her. Only a thering sound was heard and her body tightened. So he was buckling up for himself! "Violet, I was just trying to help you buckle up, what did you think I wanted to do? Kiss you?" The man''s voice was extraordinarily low, with a hint of pleasant teasing. The nice smell of a man''s breath surrounded her and made her face get hotter inch by inch. She pushed him away with a little force and ufortably smoothed her hair around her ears. "I''m not three years old, can''t I put on my own seat belt? Want you to meddle?" Louis looked sideways and watched as a blush tinged her clear cheeks and a light smile spilled out of the corners of his mouth. "Violet, I just want to spoil you into a three-year-old." Violet: "......" This man, can really say sweet things. With this handsome face, he must have coaxed many girls to fall for him, right? Ahem, what does she care about that? She doesn''t want to be his three-year-old child! Violet rambled on, when the roller coaster slowly started. The speed of the car goes from slow to fast, and the breeze blows on the face, allowing people to experience the speed and passion. The sound of children''s silveryughter rang in her ears, and Violet looked at the two children in front of her with an inexplicably happy mood. His eyes fell on the man beside him, and just as it happened, he also looked sideways at her. The man''s eyes were gentle with a smile. Violet''s heart unconsciously missed a general beat and hurriedly averted her eyes. These eyes, why did they remind her of Louis? And her heart actually missed a beat uncontrobly? Howe she didn''t realize that she was still a scum who loved one another? No, no, everyone likes nice things. He has impable looks, so of course he can win people''s favor. Violet secretly did a mental build-up, and finally the car slowed down. The seats areing down one by one. "Heehee, Mommy, are you dizzy?" Erin turned back and asked with a smile. Violet had just gotten out of her seat and heard this and before she could say anything, she heard Luka say, "Uncle Hendrix, Auntie Violet must be dizzy, won''t you hold her up a little?" Violet: "......" Why does she have the feeling that Luka''s children are ying matchmaker for her? "I''m not dizzy, what about you two? Is there anything wrong?" Violet suppressed the strange feeling inside her, moved away from Louis and went to carry Erin down. Louis raised an eyebrow, then carried Luka off the seat and cast an appreciative look. This kid, worthy of his son, can carry a clear. After leaving this ce, the two children went to y other projects. Violet and Louis kept following the two and watched them having a good time. As night falls a little, the yground is lit up with street lights. Louis only felt the phone in his pocket keep vibrating. He looked at Violet, whose attention was on the two children, and took out his cell phone from his pocket. There were several missed calls and a few messages on the phone. It was all Austin who was harassing him. Louis clicked on the message and took a look. "Louis, you''re killing me! Hurry up ande to Imperial Club, I have something to ask you." Did he harm Austin? Louis raised an eyebrow and asked, "What have I done to you?" Chapter 394 Chapter 394 Not long after the message was sent, Austin''s phone call came through. It''s still a real rush. Not even willing to return messages. Louis raised his eyebrows and was about to answer the phone when he vaguely felt someone throwing a nce at him. He looked up and saw Violet staring at his phone. Louis'' eyes moved slightly, pressed the phone and put the phone in his pocket without moving. Violet just thought the man''s phone looked a little familiar. It seems to be the same brand as Louis'' phone. Because it is not an ordinary brand, she remembers it well. This man is just an ordinary skilled worker, but he seems to be quite generous. She remembered that he also transferred a huge amount of money to himself, only she didn''t receive it. It seems that this man is more than just an ordinary skilled worker. "You''re looking at me? Do you think I''m pretty?" Louis saw Violet thoughtful look, deliberately came closer to ask. Violet returned to her senses and moved to the side in a hurry. "Mr. Hendrix, I still say, don''t waste your time on me, I''m a non-maritalist." Whatever this man''s identity was, she felt the need to reiterate it again. "Violet, if you think this is the life you want, I''ll make it happen for you." Louis looked at her and slowly spat out a sentence. Violet was stunned and just assumed that he had figured it out and wouldn''t pester her anymore. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. I don''t know what to think when I hear the man''s voice again in my ear. "I''ll stay with you as an unmarried person." Violet: "......" What does this man see in her? Isn''t it just a night of sleeping? Is she really that attractive? Violet looked at him with a suspicious expression. "Mr. Hendrix, what do you see in me? I have kids, I''m an unwed mother, there are plenty of girls out there better than me, you don''t have to pester a woman who has absolutely no interest in you, do you?" No interest in him at all? Lu hooked his lips and raised his eyebrows, looking fixedly at Violet''s clear face, abruptly a smile. "Violet, men have a desire to conquer, and the more they can''t get something, the more they want it. It''s probably because you''re not interested in me that I want you more. Then how about, you obey me and have a good rtionship with me, maybe I will feel no more fun." The man smiled demonically, with a few teases in his tone. As soon as I heard it, I knew he was joking. Violet looked at his handsome face and just felt speechless. "Mr. Hendrix, I still say, don''t ......" "Don''t waste time on you, right?" Louis picked up. "It''s good to know." Violet nced at him, saw the two childrening, did not pay attention to him again, and walked towards the two children. "Violet, are you still not over your ex-husband? If that''s the case, then I''m out." A man''s voice came from behind her, and Violet stumbled and almost fell over. She turned around and red at him in disgust, straightened her hair that had fallen, and didn''t pay any attention to him. Is this a shock by his words? So, is she unable to forget herself? The smile on Louis''s lips got even bigger. ...... Imperial Club. Austin poured wine into his mouth and looked at his phone from time to time for a while. "Austin, howe one is already drinking?" Dominic pushed the door in and was a little surprised to see Austin alone, drinking a mulled wine. "Austin, did you have a fight with Josie?" David took his sunsses off and asked with a raised good-looking eyebrow. Austin gave the two men a look and let out a long breath. Chapter 395 Chapter 395 "Why isn''t Louising yet? I''m getting screwed by him this time." Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. "Oh, Louis is hurting you... Austin, tell me, what''s going on?" Dominic asked with a surprised look on his face as he sat down next to him. David, also with a look of interest, sat down and poured himself a ss of wine. "He ......" Austin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. "Forget it, let''s wait until hees." Austin poured a sip of wine, depressed. "Austin, don''t say half of what you''re saying, what''s going on?" Dominic scratched his head, his heart curious. Austin didn''t say anything and nced at the door, "Howe you''re the only one here? Where''s your sister?" "She said we''re all men and we''re not going to do anything good together, so she stoppeding." Dominic hemmed and hawed. "How are we not doing good things?" David raised an eyebrow, "That''s a smear on her part!" "Hey, it''s actually her stomach that hurts and she doesn''t want toe." Dominic exined it for Summer. David''s upturned peach blossom eyes shed, moved to the corner, and began messaging Summer. At that moment, the door was pushed open and Louis walked in. The human skin mask had been removed from his face and returned to its original form. "Louis, you''re here." Dominic saw Louis arrive and brightened up. Louis hmmed, his eyes sweeping around and settling on Austin on one side. "So sultry? Broke up with Josie?" Austin: "......" What kind of brother did he make? Not only did he get screwed, but he also cursed him! "Almost there! Are you happy?" Louis raised his sword eyebrows and sat down on the sofa. "I''m not in a rtionship with you, so what am I happy about you breaking up with Josie?" Austin: "......" Don''t want to talk to toxic men. "Austin, you tell me, how did Louis get you into trouble." Dominic didn''t hold back and hurriedly urged. Austin took a sip of wine and looked at Louis and said, "Louis you honestly tell me, that day Violet in the club to punish Alisha,ter I deliberately put everyone away, so that you and Violet to develop feelings, you did not leave her alone?" Sure enough, it''s this thing. Beforeing he had already guessed a seven or eight points. Louis poured himself a ss of wine and took a slow sip, "What''s wrong?" "What''s wrong? Did you really leave someone alone in the clubhouse? Do you know that she ......" Austin stared at Louis with a pained look on his face. Dominic looked here and there, and something shed through his mind. Could it be that the day Austin was talking about was the day he and his sister returned home? "What happened to her? Slept with a strange man?" Louis yed with his wine ss, the corners of his mouth curled in a usible smile. Austin stared at him, his eyebrows knitted, "Louis, as a rule you shouldn''t be the irresponsible type. You said, the one who had sex with Violet, was it you?" Louis didn''t squeal, just took a sip of his wine. Dominic, who was on the sidelines, touched his nose, and his mind was clear. "What are you talking about Louis, you''re having sex with Helena again? Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and remarry someone." David and Summer finished their message and heard Austin''sst words and rushed over. "Oh, and remarried! He ate people dry and left quietly, causing me to be scolded by Josie, and now he won''t even talk to me." Austin gulped and grumbled. He then looked to Louis, "No, youe with me right now and exin it to Josie." "Exin what? The person who had sex with Violet was Hendrix, a regr tech worker at The Johnson Group." Chapter 396 Chapter 396 "Hendrix?Amon skilled worker at The Johnson Group?Louis, do you swear that it wasn''t you that night?" Austin looked at Louis, his brow knitted in a frown. Louis took a sip of his wine and breezed through it. Austin stared at him for a long time and said in a daze, "I see, Hendrix is you, you are Hendrix?" Louis yed with his ss and remained silent. "Not saying anything means you''re acquiescing?" Austinughed in exasperation, "Louis, why did you lie to people? And dragged me into being called a jerk by Josie?" "Weren''t you the one who told me to approach people with a different identity?" Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Louis replied back. Austin: "......" So his girlfriend doesn''t care about him, or he caused it himself? Austin had a pained look on his face, "So how long are you going to keep this from her?" "Wait for her to fall in love with me." To wait for Violet to fall in love with him? How long will that take? Austin was speechless, "Louis, is it true that we have to pretend we don''t know until Violet falls in love with you?" "Yes." "What about when my girlfriend gets angry?" "Figure it out for yourself." Austin: "......" The culprit is obviously him. What a mistake in making friends! Dominic looked at Austin''s rare sultry expression and stifled augh to change the subject. "So what, Louis, enough fish has been served, what''s next?" When he says fish, he means Marcus. The Scott Group and Infinity Tech Company signed a smooth contract, not really for Marcus to make money. "I will meet with Mark personally and ask him to divest from the Scott Group." When ites to business, the expression on Louis''s face was cold and solemn for a few moments. Austin gave him a look, but was unconcerned with business. "So, you''re leaving Crotosi City for a while? Then during this time, won''t you be unable to approach Violet with your new identity? And try to make her fall in love with you? I don''t think so." Louis nced at him lightly, "A small farewell is better than a new marriage, distance produces beauty, understand?" Austin: "......" He just wanted to lol. "You two, hurry up and help me figure out how to coax someone. If I wait for your Louis to be loved, my girlfriend will have run away long ago!" Austin looks to Dominic and David with a sultry look on his face. "Austin, why do I get the feeling you''re cursing me and won''t be loved by Violet?" "How dare I? I''m just stating a fact." "The truth is, she''ll soon be hooked on me." "Oh, it''s dark, it''s time to dream." "......" Listening to the two of them dislike each other, Dominic and David looked at each other and both held theirughter. "Austin, I remember Josie was a semi-finalist in the Gambiered Silk Design Contest in a few days, right? You''re not too young, why don''t you use this opportunity to propose to her on the spot?" David thought about it and came up with an idea. Austin was not in a good mood and burst out when he heard this, "How did you know that Josie was a semi-finalist? Have you been secretly following my girlfriend?" David: "......" Lost love is not all men will lose their minds ah! "Brother, my mom is a judge for the Gambiered Silk Design Contest and I''m going to help sing, so I happened to see the shortlist, okay?" David exined. Austin coughed lightly, "Sorry David, I''m not in a good mood." "It''s okay." "Heh, some people, probably, are going through menopause." Louis was mercilessly sarcastic. Austin: "......" Who really caused this? "Okay, okay, so what, Dominic, you and your sister must be there that day to cheer for Austin." David hastened to round up. Dominic was watching the drama with great interest when he heard this, his eyes twitched. Chapter 397 Chapter 397 "David, why do I get the impression that you came up with this idea, drunk?" David: "......" He went around in a big circle and actually wanted to invite Summer to see him perform. Be seen. From N?velDrama.Org. ...... For several days in a row, Violet did not see ''Hendrix'' appear. Couldn''t help but take a long breath. He told her he was on a business trip. Come back to her when the trip is over. She really wanted to ask him not toe back to her. But it seems that his daughter likes him a lot. Keep asking her when Uncle Hendrix ising back to take her to the yground. This little girl, didn''t she say she liked Louis? You''ve moved on so quickly? Soon it was time for the Gambiered Silk Design Contest. This is a famous designpetition in China. Very popr with the designmunity. In addition to receiving a substantial prize, the winner is mainly honored to be recognized by the design Violet left her daughter in the care of Evie and Isaac and came to Dewgrove City with Josie to participate in the race. Apanied by Natalie. When they arrived at the official hotel, Violet and Josie went to their own rooms because the contestants'' and makeup directors'' rooms were not together. "Miss Helena, I''ll walk you to your room." Natalie diligently helped Violet with her luggage. "No, I''ll do it myself, you go to your room too." Violet looked light, and after sending Josie away, she pressed her floor. Natalie is the assistant, and the room the crew booked for her is not with Violet''s. Looking at Violet''s wide-eyed look, Natalie''s eyes reddened a little. "Miss Helena, are you still ming me?" During this time, she always felt that Violet had a cold attitude towards herself. Still ming her, right? Violet gave her a look and said in a light voice: "Don''t think nonsense, public is public, private is private, I said, as long as you set your mind right and put your heart on your work, I won''t mention the previous matters again." Evie and Isaac are licensed. Dolly also left Isaac''spany. That''s all it takes. As for Natalie, she just treats her as an ordinary employee. There is no need to invest too much emotion. Natalie bit her lip and looked at Violet''s cold face with aggravation. What can she do to impress Violet? "Violet, what a coincidence." A woman''s voice came from not far away. Violet heard Nancy''s voice and looked slightly sideways to see Nancy and Ciara walking this way with their suitcases. They both made it to the semi-finals as well. Violet was indifferent to the two, and gave them a slight nod as a greeting. "Violet is the makeup director this time, right? This is your assistant?" Nancy stood in front of her, her eyes falling on Natalie, whose eyes were red, with a slight twinkle. She remembers Natalie, who came out and shaded Sia when her mother and Sia were arguing. Why are your eyes red now? Was it scolded by Violet? "Yes." Violet responded faintly. At this point, the elevator went down to the first floor. Violet went straight into the elevator, and Natalie rushed to follow. "Damn, howe Violet is the makeup director again this time?" Ciara watched the elevator doors close with a look of indignation. "Isn''t it? She and Josie are so close, it might be another scene from that modeling contest." Nancy sighed and looked over at Ciara, "Ciara, it looks like we''re all going to be reduced to Josie''s chaperones." She heard Ciara tell her about thest modeling contest, Violet used makeup to make the model who could have won the title into the third ce, which almost made Jasmine mad. "Nancy, don''t get discouraged. I am not expecting to win, but you are different. You have a high level of design, and the judge is also David''s mother, you can definitely win over Josie." Chapter 398 Chapter 398 Hearing this, Nancy was pleased in her heart, but her face pretended to be worried. "That''s not necessarily true. What if Violet does something to the model again?" "Nancy, take it easy, Josie she shamelessly stole my man, no matter what, I won''t let her be the champion." Ciara cates Nancy with a resentful look on her face. Nancy was snickering in her heart, but kept her usual softness on her face. "Okay, Ciara, let''s just let it go. The elevator''s here, let''s go." That''s the result she wants. I hope that when there are obstacles, Ciara will be her own knife. Violet went into the room arranged by the program team, put her things away, saw that it was almost time, and went to meet the staff. Because of the previous experience, she is quite frank andfortable this time. When we came to arge conference room, the columnist was already there. Violet smiled and greeted the director and crew one by one. "Miss Helena has arrived, just missing Ms. Arie." said a staff member who took the roll call. "And David, I don''t know if he''ll be here today." "Ms. Arie is David''s mother, and David is a filial son who puts aside his work every year to be with Ms. Arie. What''s more, this year he is the guest performer." "......" Listening to the chatter of the staff, a hint of surprise shed in Violet''s eyes. All she knows is that Arie Wright is the chairperson of the Gambiered Silk Association and one of the judges on the panel. Rather, I didn''t expect that she and David were still in a mother-son rtionship. As I was thinking about it, someone walked in. "Wow, Ms. Arie and Mr. Bergen are here." "Mr. Bergen is so handsome." "Ms. Arie is also very young, walking with Mr. Bergen, like a sister and brother." "......" The staff each became starry-eyed. Violet looked towards the door and saw that David was supporting a noblewoman and greeting the director and others who greeted him. Your wife''s hair was in a bun, her skin was fair, her features were beautiful, and she looked very gentle. But there is little blood on the face, a look is the body is sick and weak look. "David." Violet walked towards the two men and said hello to David. "Helena, you''re here already?" David saw an old acquaintance and winked toward Helena. "I just arrived, too." Violet smiled back. "Let me introduce you, this is my mom, Arie. mom, and this is Violet." David was introducing himself to his mother and Violet. "Hello Ms. Arie." Violet politely talks to Arie on the phone. Arie nced at Violet and gave a faint hmmm. She seems a bit cold and distant to herself? Violet pursed her lips, wondering if Arie had this kind of attitude towards strangers, or if she was the only one who treated her this way. "Okay, people are here, so let''s have a short meeting." The director''s voice was loud and clear as he spoke. The people have taken their seats. "Cough cough." Arie sneezes and coughs twice more. "Mom, are you catching a cold?" David stroked her spine and asked. "A little." From N?velDrama.Org. Arie coughed twice more. "You''ll cough when you catch a cold. When it''s over, Dad will nag me for half a day again, saying I didn''t take care of you." Chapter 399 Chapter 399 David had a helpless look on his face. Arie smiled and did not make a sound. A staff member to the sideplimented, "Mr. Bergen has unintentionally spilled the beans again." "That is, Ms. Arie and old Mr. Bergen are known in the circle as a loving couple, and today I have eaten another mouthful of dog food." "Yes, old Mr. Bergen is a veteran actor, but always clean, so many years of debut, never rumored with anyone, really everyone''s model." "That''s right, the family is good people." "......" old Mr. Bergen, they are referring to David''s father. A group of people spared no effort inplimenting the family of three. Violet swept her eyes at Arie, but saw a self-deprecating smile emerge from the corner of her mouth, but it was fleeting. Does she disagree with everyone? Is it possible that she and David''s father are only superficially in love? Violet was thinking, and when she saw Arie''s brow knitted and coughing again, she got up and poured her a ss of warm water. "Ms. Arie, drink more hot water if you catch a cold, not cold water." The staff poured everyone a ss of water, but at this moment the water in the ss was cold. Violet took Arie''s cold water away and reced it with warm water for her. Arie looked at Violet''s slim back and something shed in her eyes. Is she Amalia''s daughter Violet? As good-looking as her mother. "Mom, Helena is considerate, isn''t she?" Seeing Arie sizing up Violet, Davides over and whispers to her. Arie gave him a look, "I have nothing to do with whether she''s considerate or not, David, you''re old enough to have a family. Nancy ising to thispetition, so let''s have dinner with herter." "Mom, you know this is apetition. You''re a judge, she''s a contestant, so be careful to avoid suspicion." David was not happy and hastily found an excuse to push back. "You kids ......" "Shh, Mom, listen well to the director about the rules." David hastily sat up straight and put on a straight face. Arie looked at him with a helpless look on her face. When my son was young, he yed with Nancy quite well, didn''t he? How did the two grow up instead of growing apart? Although she is a little bit disdainful of Nancy''s family background, Nancy is still very much to her liking. She was a good girl, and at a young age she would chatter patiently with her while she was sick and Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. resting in bed. It is a good candidate for a daughter-inw. In the other room. All the contestants were gathered together and the same supervisors were ready to meet with them. Josie entered and scanned the room, spotting several familiar faces. The most familiar one is Ciara. At this moment, Ciara looked at herself like a sharp de, wanting to cut off a piece of her flesh. Josie ignored her gaze, and after greeting a few familiar faces politely, sat quietly in the corner. "Josie?" A surprised female voice came to my ears. Josie turned her head sideways and her face went a few degrees colder when she saw the visitor. The visitor, Matilda Servello, is one of the many underprivileged students her father supports. "Josie, it''s been a long time, how are you?" Matilda, with a smile on her face, sat down next to Josie. "Don''t bite your sister, my mother only had me as a daughter." Josie spoke in a cold voice. Matilda choked, and her face duly showed resignation and tenderness. "Josie, I know you hate me and my mom, but Daddy misses you so much, he talks about you every day at dinner. You must go back to see him when you have time." Ament that made Josie''s chest heave. "Matilda, don''t be a poseur here. Chanting about me every day at dinner? Are you reminding me that my house is now upied by you and that shameless mother of yours?" Chapter 400 Chapter 400 Josie knew she really hadn''t been back to see her father for a long time because she had a bad rtionship with him. Her father is a workaholic and travels twice a day. As a child, she often did not see his face and spent her days in the cold house with her mother for each other''spany. The mother is a painter, very delicate mind, because no husband''spany, the days are a bit depressed. Once, when she was seven years old, her mother had a serious car ident when she was driving her out for a walk. She was saved, while her mother died. Since then, she has hated her father. If he had spent a little more time with his mother, she would not have gotten depressed. And will not see a man simr to his father on the road, driving a car with a woman, suddenly turned to go after a car ident and find out. In her heart, she always felt that her father was responsible for her mother''s death. So as soon as she became an adult, she moved out and lived with Violet. The eye is not seeing. And now, Father has an additional woman by his side, Matilda''s mother. This is a master who wille to the rescue. She kept moving closer to her father under the pretense that her daughter was being sponsored. As time went on, her father acquiesced to her and allowed her to live in the house and wait on him. On the surface is a servant-like existence, but in reality, the two have long lived together. If Matilda''s mother had been a good woman, she wouldn''t have had a clue. But she had seen the middle-aged woman, and she was not an honest farming woman. She blew a whisper in her father''s ear and got him to pay for her divorce from her own husband and has been living in the grand vi ever since. She bets that if her father hadn''t felt guilty about her mother and himself and vowed not to remarry when her mother died, he would have married her under the whisper of Shen Yun Yun''s mother. "Josie, don''t be mean to me, if you don''t like me and my mom, youe back and we''ll just move out." Matilda had a soft face and lowered her posture. "I told you not to call me sister, it''s annoying." Josie didn''t bother with this pretentious person, got up and sat on the other side. People really need to see eye contact with people. She disliked Matilda from the first moment she saw her. Sympathetic and small-minded. Violet is also a poor student sponsored by her father, but how can she be so attractive? Matilda bit her lip and stood helplessly with a look of resignation. "This Josie is really arrogant." Ciara said with a light snort. Nancy nced at Matilda, her eyes moving slightly. Josie is arrogant, but this Matilda is not a good fighter either. This trick of pretending to be a little white lotus, and their own a fight it! "The contestants are all here, right?" The program supervisor came in. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. "All are here." The staff reported in a hurry. "Okay, next, I''ll exin the rules of thepetition." The supervisor scanned the circle and began to exin the rules of thepetition. The designpetition was divided into preliminaries, semi-finals and finals. In the preliminaries, the contestants will upload their designs to a designated email address and the judges will select the finalists. Next up is the semifinals. "Tomorrow we will give each contestant here a piece of Gambiered Silk and ask you to make a finished product of the design presented in the preliminaries on the spot, and the judges will select the top ten contestants to enter the final." Chapter 401 Chapter 401 A paragraph that caused the twenty yers in the audience to burst into conversation. "Oh my God, making a finished product on the spot with Gambiered Silk? Is this a test of our proficiency in making clothes? This is too difficult." "Isn''t it? I can only draw designs, so it looks like I''m going to be eliminated." "Gambiered Silk Design Contest has different questions every year, and today''s is so hard." "" Josie was also surprised that the program team woulde up with such a question. After all, they are designers and focus on design inspiration rather than practical work. Some designers only talk about empty words, so in order to make it to the finals, they will draw a draft in a different way and addplicated processes to the drawing, so it is not easy to make a garment. The good thing is that she is not troubled by this, and the semi-final questions are not difficult for her. "Any more questions? If you don''t have any questions, go back and get ready." The producer listened to the chatter, spoke some more about the rules of thepetition, and announced with a smile. Josie ignored the contestants who flocked to pander to the executive producer, grabbed her belongings and left. Ciara stared at her back and said to Nancy, "Look at her, she looks like she''s got it all figured out." Nancy took her by the arm and walked out, sighing deliberately, "Isn''t her good friend Violet the makeup director? Probably people knew that the semifinal was this topic a long time ago, so they weren''t surprised." "Hmph, I will never let her be the champion." Ciara snorted coldly. Then you should do something! Nancy bbored in her heart. Outside, Josie ruffled her hair around her ears, intending to message Violet and ask if she was finished. At that moment, a nice male voice came, "Josie." Josie looked up and saw Austin holding arge bouquet of red roses in his hand and striding towards her. The man has a long body, wearing a ck casual trench coat, walking with the wind, the end of the handsome and beautiful. "Wow, so handsome, who is this guy?" "I know, I know, this is Crotosi City''s famous Diamond bachelor, Austin." "Is he here to see Josie?" "Is he Josie''s boyfriend?" Behind them came the murmur of several women, their tone full of amazement and praise. Josie hadn''t spoken to Austin for several days, but she didn''t expect him to show up at this time. Touching his smiling eyebrows, she brushed aside her eyes. "What brings you here?" "Come and see you y." Austin handed over the red roses in his hand, and his smiling eyebrows showed more nobility in the light. Josie was still angry and did not want to ept his gesture of affection. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. "Didn''t I tell you not toe back to me in the future? You go away." Austin came closer andughed lightly, "Josie, there are so many people watching back there, are you sure you want to put me down in public?" The man''s familiar scent with the fragrance of roses lingered at the end of her nose, a little nice and a littlepelling. Josie''s ears heated up slightly and she unconsciously stepped back a little. Just as I was about to speak, a woman''s dainty voice came from behind me. "Josie, is this your boyfriend?" This is Matilda''s voice. Josie turned around and saw Matilda looking at Austin with a shy look and a lot of heat in her eyes. Josie''s face went a few shades colder, and before she could say anything, another female voice came on. "Miss Servello, wouldn''t you know it, this is the boyfriend Josie went to great lengths to snatch up." Ciara walked up to Matilda and looked at Josie with an arrogant face, "I say Josie, you''ve got the man in your hand and you''re starting to take Joe." Chapter 402 Chapter 402 Hearing this, Josie snorted lightly, "Whose boyfriend did I steal? Yours?" "Isn''t it?" Ciara asked rhetorically. Josie found it even more amusing. "Ciara , are you asking me to tell everyone that you and your sister have done something shameful?" "What did I do? I see that everything before was a set-up by you and Violet." Ciara justified it by saying that there was no evidence. "Ciara , I''ve seen shameless people, but I''ve never seen you so shameless." "You steal someone''s boyfriend, who is shameless?" "" The two quarreled and people around them gathered around. Matilda, who was looking at Austin''s ck face, deliberately yed peacemaker and went up to persuade him. "Josie, you guys need to stop." "That''s right, they''re all good sisters, don''t hurt the peace." Nancy is right behind Matilda. Her almond eyes shed as she echoed a phrase while deliberately squeezing Matilda so that she fell in Austin''s direction. "Yikes." Matilda jumped into Austin''s arms at once. Matilda blushed as the man''s nice scent came to the end of her nose. Josie saw this scene, immediately pulled Matilda away, a pretty face condensed. "Matilda, what are you doing?" Matilda stumbled as she was tugged. The eyes shed and fell to the ground in one smooth motion. "Josie, I didn''t mean to do that." The woman''s face is delicate and her eyes are red in a loving way. Mother said that women show weakness in order to provoke men''s desire to protect. She''s so weak, doesn''t that better entuate Josie''s toughness? Austin must be disgusted with Josie and sympathetic to himself. As soon as he begins to sympathize with himself, then she is the beginning of a ride to him. As did the mother who hitched a ride with Tobias. She daintily nced at Austin, but Austin was dusting off his non-existent body and didn''t even give himself a nce. "Miss Scott, why are you pushing people?" Nancy stepped forward and pulled Matilda to her feet, looking at Josie with a disapproving look on her face. "That''s right, Josie, why are you so rude and unreasonable? She didn''t mean to do it, why did you push her?" Ciara took the opportunity to say. "I didn''t expect Josie to be so uncultivated, how could Mr. Evison like this kind of woman?" "Isn''t it true that Mr. Evison has a bad eye for women?" "" The surrounding yers are talking about it. Josie was so angry that her chest rose and fell, and was about to speak when a force was applied to her waist and she was embraced by Austin. "Ciara , it was me who broke up with you because I hate vicious women. And Josie, she''s innocent and kind, and it was me who took the initiative to pursue her. I remind you, and all of you, to stop denigrating her, or don''t me me for being rude." Austin warned Ciara in a cold voice, and swept his sharp eyes over the crowd, then took Josie by the waist and left. The onlookers received a warning and all left with resentful faces. "I''m evil, Josie is pure and good, Austin, I think you are blind." Ciara said in a hateful voice. "Well, Ciara , a lover''s eye is a lover''s eye, don''t be angry." Nancy on the other side of the room said soothingly, pretending to be gentle. Ciara straightened her hair around her ear and snorted, "Josie is so shameless, now that she''s hooked up with Austin, she''s getting more and more arrogant." "Isn''t it? She has the capital to be arrogant." Nancy said, "Austin and David are good friends, and the judge of thispetition, Ms. Arie, is David''s mother, plus a makeup director, Violet, is Josie''s best friend, I think this time the winner is definitely Josie." Hearing this, Matilda, who was staring at the direction Austin and Josie had left, snapped back to attention and looked at Nancy. "Two sisters, thepetition is based on the ability of the contestants, and it will certainly not be determined internally." Nancy gave her a look and a gentle smile, "Miss Servello, you and Josie know each other, huh? Let''s go, let''s talk while we walk." "Good." Matilda nods and walks forward with Nancy and Ciara. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. She doesn''t just know Josie, she knows Austin! Outside. Josie broke away from Austin''s hand, and her face did not look good. Chapter 403 Chapter 403 Austin took her hand andughed, "Still angry? So grumpy." At that, Josie red at him, "Yes, I''m just grumpy, so go find those with good tempers." "But I just love a grumpy girlfriend." Austin ignored her struggle and forcefully took her into his arms. "Austin, you let go." Josie watched the flow of peopleing and going, all casting a nce at them, and her eyebrows knitted. "What, are you shy? If you make a tantrum again, do you believe it or not, I will kiss you to your face?" Austin confined her tightly, tailing his voice slightly upward with a hint of menace. "Austin, don''t you dare! Well." Before the rest of the words could be spoken, Austin''s kiss fell. Josie pounded his chest, her ears burning. After a long time, Austin released her and looked at the spring in her brow, the knot of his throat rolled slightly. "Still making noise?" Josie bit her lip, red at Austin with a pout, and turned her head away with a huff. "Austin, I''m telling you, don''t think I''m going to forgive you just because you bring a bouquet of flowers." "Yes, yes, I''m wrong, you can beat me and scold me, just don''t get angry and break your body, okay? It''s all because he was careless in making friends! So that they now have to be low and girlfriend with not. Austin cursed Louis in his heart and apologized repeatedly. Josie lifted the big wavy curls around her ears, picked up the bouquet of roses and smelled them. For the sake of such beautiful roses, she spared someone for the time being. "Come on, I''ll walk you to dinner." When Josie took the flowers, Austin let out a long breath. It''s not easy to coax a woman! "No, I''ll wait for Violet to join us for dinner." Austin: "" Other women are more important than friends, but to their own here on the contrary. He, the Diamond bachelor who is sought after by millions, is treated really badly by his girlfriend. The other side. The brief meeting was also almost over. Violet packed up her things and got ready to leave. "Violet, let''s eat togetherter." David called out to Violet and suggested with a smile. Violet twitched her lips and was about to say yes when she heard Arie cough. Arie nced faintly at Violet with a hint of displeasure on her face. Violet swallowed the good word andughed, "No, you stay with Ms. Arie." She could see that Arie really didn''t like herself. Then she won''t move up, I guess. "By the way, Ms. Arie has a cold, you can make some ginger tea for her to drink. I don''t take medicine for every cold, just drink ginger tea, it works." Violet smiled and David suggested, then with a slight nod to Arie, turned to leave. "Helena is just gentle and considerate ah, really can go up to the hall down to the kitchen." Such a person can indeed be the hostess of Johnson family. I hope Louis can chase her down quickly. Davidplimented from the bottom of his heart. "You like people?" Arie gave David a look of displeasure. David helped her out, "I do have a crush on her, but unfortunately I don''t dare to chase people." He wouldn''t dare to grab a woman with the boss. "If you dare to chase Violet, unless you want to gas me to death!" Arie covered her mouth and coughed twice, giving David a stern look. She doesn''t want her son to take the daughter of her husband''s first love ande back as an eyesore. David gave his own mother a thoughtful look. My mother''s attitude toward anyone and everything was light. But why did he feel she was inexplicably hostile to Violet?From N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 404 Chapter 404 Violet came out and met up with Josie, and instead of going to the dinner arranged by the show, she went to the penthouse of the hotel for dinner under Austin''s arrangement. On the top floor is the open revolving restaurant, sitting by the window overlooking the Pce Hotel at night. The three of them found a window seat and Josie was telling Violet about what had just happened. Violet listened quietly, and from time to time, she said a few words offort. It didn''t take long for David and Arie to arrive as well. "Austin." David brightened up when he saw Austin and greeted him with a smile. Austin got up in a hurry, called out to Auntie Arie, and then invited them to join him. Arie nced at Violet and frowned lightly. Just as he was about to refuse, David had already smiled and pulled out the chair for her. Arie had no choice but to sit down because of her status as an elder. "Hello Ms. Arie, I''ve heard a lot about you, and when I see you today, you are really as gentle as water, as rumored, I so admire you." Josie met her idol with a starry-eyed look on her face. Arie was delighted by her rainbow farts. She nodded to Josie with a light smile and looked to Austin, "Austin, this is?" "Auntie Arie, her name is Josie, she''s my girlfriend and a contestant in thispetition, I hope you''ll give her a lot of mention." Austin took Josie''s shoulder and introduced her. Josie wrenched his hand away, "Austin, do you know how to make introductions? Make it sound like I''m going through the back door." "I didn''t mean that." Austin had an innocent look on his face. Josie ignored him and looked at Arie, "Ms. Arie, you must be strict and strict again with me, and criticize and point out my shorings severely." Hearing this, Arie smiled lightly and said, "Don''t worry, I treat all yers the same." "Uh-huh, Ms. Arie, you drink some water first." "Thanks, where is Miss Scott from?" "Ie fromCrotosi City, as does Austin." "Austin is just fine, found a girlfriend, which is like my David, still single." "Mom, why are you bringing me up again?" "" Violet silently sipped her water and listened to the chatter of several people. She could feel Arie''s disregard for herself. But the good thing is that with Josie around, the atmosphere is not too cold. She was just curious, she and Arie were meeting for the first time, so why didn''t she like herself? Not far away, Nancy and Ciara, and Matilda also came up. The trio''s eyes looked away, in search of a seat, and caught a glimpse of Violet and others sitting at a table. "Well, if it isn''t David and Ms. Arie, Josie is jumping around and eating at the same table as the judges." Ciara said without shame. Nancy''s eyes shed and shemented, "No way, who let people have good resources?" "Nancy, you and Ms. Arie have a good rtionship too,e on, let''s go over and say hello to her." Ciara encouraged. Nancy had just that in mind, and the three of them made their way to Violet''s table. "Auntie Arie, David, you''re eating too?" "Hello Ms. Arie." "Hello Ms. Arie." Arie saw Nancy, smiled lightly and spoke, "It''s Nancy, you''re here for dinner too? Do you want to join us?" Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Nancy begged, and her eyes fell on David''s face, only to see him frowning. It does not appear that he is willing to take his seat. I was about to say something when Austin said, "This table is small, I''m afraid it can''t seat so many people, so please open another table." Some little woman is twisting his thigh muscles. It''s asking him to be the outlier. Girlfriend Max. Hearing Austin''s words, Josie was satisfied and diligently gave him a dish to eat. Chapter 405 Chapter 405 Austin wrapped his arm around her waist and gave her a doting smile. Behind her, Matilda took in the interaction between the two and slowly curled her fingers. "Auntie Arie, you''re a judge today and I''m a contestant, it''s time to avoid suspicion. Then we''ll leave you to your meal and we''ll go over and reopen a table." Nancy pretended to be gentle and deliberately mentioned their status. Before leaving, she nced at Josie as if to suggest that she should use the back door. Josie just pretended not to hear and ate her bowl of food by herself. From N?velDrama.Org. When the people left, Arie looked at David and said, "Look at Nancy, she''s so generous and decent, she''s a real ss act." How can her own son not like her? David coughed lightly and hurriedly gave her a dish. "Mom, eat quickly, the food won''t taste good if it gets cold." "You''re pretending to be deaf and dumb again, aren''t you?" "Mom, I''ll serve you another bowl of soup." "" Listening to the conversation between mother and son, Violet''s heart sighed slightly. So Arie likes Nancy? If she really helped David marry Nancy, she would probably regret it. At the neighboring table, Nancy looked at the united table and sighed deliberately. "Look guys, I still say, this time the winner is Josie." Matilda, are you convinced?" Matilda, holding her ss of water and drinking it, nced at Austin''s back and gave a hmmm. "No contest." "That''s right, we must not let Josie get the title this time, it''s better to stop at the semi-finals." Ciara said in a hateful voice. "But she has all the connections, so how could she stop at the semi-finals?" Nancy pretended to be distressed. "That''s not so simple, just do some tinkering." Ciara''s almond eyes twinkled and she had an idea. "How do you do the tampering?" Nancy asked, pretending to be hesitant. "Didn''t the semifinalists say they would give each person a piece of Gambiered Silk? If her Gambiered Silk is bad, do you think, she can still make the finished product?" Ciara lowered her voice. Nancy''s eyes shed, "Ciara , you''re going to get someone to tamper with Gambiered Silk? No, it wouldn''t be good if they found out." "If I find out, I''ll withdraw from thepetition! I don''t care to win any championship anyway." Ciara doesn''t think so, "It''s just that time is short and I don''t have anyone reliable over here who can unknowingly ess the Gambiered Silk that the crew has prepared." Isn''t that a waste of words? Nancy cursed Ciara in her heart for wasting money. When I nced at her, I saw Matilda holding her cup of tea and thinking. This woman is not a good fighter. She has more heart than Ciara. And, if she''s right, this woman likes Austin. Nancy''s almond eyes shed slightly, "Well Ciara, don''t say these nonsense, let nature take its course, we can no longerpete with Josie, we can only wait to eat dog food." "Oops, I''m not happy about that." "It''s useless even if you''re not willing, who makes us less well-connected than Josie?" "" Nancy deliberately persuaded Ciara, Matilda aside suddenly took out her cell phone and secretly took a few pictures. Nancy gave her a look and asked, "Matilda, what are you doing taking pictures?" "Ah! I especially admire Ms. Arie and wanted to leave a memento of my rare meeting today." Matilda smiles, puts her phone aside and picks up a ss of water to drink. The corner of Nancy''s mouth ticked up and she didn''t say anything else. The maic phase of people does not match each other and can be felt upon contact. She bets Matilda will clear the way for her. Chapter 406 Chapter 406 After dinner, Josie had to go back to her room to do pre-game preparation, and Austin went to meet his partner. David, meanwhile, apanied Arie to her room to rest. Violet didn''t rush back, but nned to go out and take a stroll to cool off. The evening breeze blew up with a hint of coolness, and the night scene under neon lights was written with prosperity. Violet walked faithfully, holding her cell phone to take some pictures of the scenery from time to time, intending to go back and show her daughter. Without a nce, she saw a man and a woman across the road in the camera. The man has a long body and well-defined features. He had his arm around a stylishly dressed young woman and was looking at her with a doting smile on his face. Hendrix! She actually saw the Hendrix who told her that he was going to pursue her! Violet, fearing that she was mistaken, hurriedly put down her phone and looked toward the two men. At this point, the man still building the woman, towards a restaurant. She was right, it really was Hendrix! Didn''t he say he was on a business trip? How did ite to be here? And with a woman in such an intimate embrace? Violet heart can not say what emotion is more. It just feels a little bit ridiculous. She had hesitated to give him a chance because he had said that he was thinking of his daughter. But I didn''t expect that they were simply ying with her! Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Sure enough, the man''s mouth deceives the ghost. If she believes in men''s words again, she doesn''t believe in Fang! Violet red lips tightly pursed, no longer in a shopping mood, turned to leave. Tick, a message came on the phone. "What are you doing? Did you eat?" This is a message from Hendrix. Violet stared at this message for a long time, and directly pulled Hendrix''s micro signal into the cklist. Scum! Do you think she''s a divorced woman who is easy to fool? Too much! At the same time, far away in a foreign country, Louis looked at the cell phone interface on the table did not move, dark eyes slightly stared. Why didn''t you answer his message? Is it still busy? At that moment, the screen suddenly lit up and a video call request came in. Louis raised his sword eyebrows, vaguely expecting it to be Violet calling. But it turns out that it was Dominic who sent the video call request. Louis face ck, cold a face and clicked the dial button. "Something?" "Louis, do you want toe back? Are things not done yet?" Dominic saw Louis'' face not look so good and asked cautiously. "Mark has been convinced to divest from the Scott Group and will sign a partnership agreement with me tomorrow." Louis replied back. "Ohhhh, so did that old fox Mark take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of you a lot? Why else do you look so bad?" Heh! His poorplexion is not due to being taken advantage of by that old fox Mark. Louis nced at the camera and asked with little expression, "Is there anything else? If not, I''ll hang up." Didn''t know he was waiting for a message from someone? No eyesight brat. "Hey hey, one more thing, Louis, won''t you be toote to go to the Pce Hotel for David''s show this way?" Dominic asked in a rush before he was hung up. Louis gave a faint hmm. Dominicughed:, "I got it Louis, take it easy, I''ll go see Violet on the show for you with my sister." Hearing this, the expression on Louis'' face eased for a few moments. "Okay, hang up if you''re okay." On thest day, if he makes it in time, maybe he can go surprise someone. Violet had things on her mind and was distracted all the way back to her room. When I got out of the elevator and walked forward, I turned a corner and realized that I had taken the wrong elevator. Chapter 407 Chapter 407 Violet was speechless and somewhat chagrined as she prepared to return. At that moment, a room not far away opened and someone came out of it. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Violet nced at it, a flicker of suspicion in her eyes. The person who came out she recognized was Matilda, whom Josie hated. This floor should not be the floor where the yer lives, right? Are you here to find someone? Violet didn''t take it seriously. There was an elevator stop, so she got in and went to her room. The following day. Today is the first day of the designpetition. The wake-up call service for the program team rang early. Violet got up from the bed, went to the sink, looked at her not-so-good face, and sshed a handful of cold water. After washing up, she put on an borate makeup to make herself look better. At that moment, the doorbell rang. Violet ran over to the door and saw Natalie standing in the doorway. With a fragrant breakfast in hand. "Good morning Miss Helena, I got you breakfast." Natalie smiles and says hello. Violet curled her lips, "Thank you,e in and sit for a while, I''ll be ready in a minute." "There''s no rush, Miss Helena, take your time to prepare." Natalie said in a hurry. Violet didn''t say a word and waited for Natalie to enter before picking out the clothes she would wear today and going into the bathroom to change. Natalie put her breakfast on the table, looked at the stockings Violet had casually thrown on the bed, slowly walked over and took them in her hands, gently fondling them. These are the stockings Miss Helena is wearing. Violet came out of the bathroom and caught a glimpse of Natalie with her stockings in her hand and a swooning look on her face. The heart inexplicably shed a trace of odd. "Natalie, you" Natalie was shocked and said quickly, "Miss Helena, the quality of these stockings looks quite good, I would like to ask where did you buy them?" "Oh, I bought it at a boutique, and I can send you the address if you want to buy it." Violet took the stockings Natalie handed over, suppressing the unspoken oddity inside. "Yeah." Natalie answered and let out a soft breath. The two had breakfast and then made their way to the waiting room at the tournament site. Twenty models are already in ce. Violet applied makeup to the models in turn, with Natalie standing by as an assistant. Meanwhile, thepetition site. Twenty yers havee together. There were twenty makeshift cubicles on the ying field. One yer per cubicle. Inside, there are needles and thread and other utensils for thepetition. There is also a yer in the venue for real time yback. The moderator came to the scene and introduced the contestants and the judges separately. The rules of thepetition were also introduced. Immediately afterwards, the staff began to distribute the fabric. Josie stood calmly in her ce and took the material handed to her by the staff. The material on the hand is of exquisite texture, a look at the good Gambiered Silk. Josie curled her lips and spread the fabric out on the table, ready to make the finished product. She is confident that the finished product will not be able to overwhelm the crowd, but it will definitely make it to the final. However, when she opened the fabric and saw what a small piece of fabric in the middle looked like at that moment, the smile on her face lurched. How did this happen? The fabric in the middle of this Gambiered Silk is sparsely stitched and poorly plucked with just a gentle hand to make a hole. It can be used as a fishing! Is this tampered with? Or was it a piece of fabric that the program team gave her on purpose to test the contestant''s resilience? Josie bit her lip and curled her fingers slightly. The rules of thepetition, once you enter thepetition venue, you cannot make any loud noise, let alone go outside. So, she can''t ask the show what''s going on with this fabric. The only way is to go hard. But how easy is it to make a finished product exactly like your own design with such a piece of fabric with defects? Chapter 408 Chapter 408 Josie stared fixedly at the fabric and did not move for a moment. Backstage, since it was broadcast in real time, Violet was able to watch the game after she finished doing the makeup for the models. She watched the other yers have already started to do it, but Josie is just fixed to watch the fabric does not start, can not help but sweat for her. The camera is far and close, making it difficult to see the problems on the fabric. One can only see the gloomy look on Josie''s face. Way to go, Josie. Violet was mentally cheering for Josie. On the ying field, Josie broke out in a cold sweat. But soon, she calmed down. Taking a deep breath, she began to operate. Time passed by. The host was interacting with the audience from time to time. The yers on the stage were concentrating on the task at hand. After forty minutes, the moderator announced that time was up. All the yers stopped what they were doing. At this point, some yers had a bitter face and a helpless face. It seems that they must not have yed well and thought they would not make the final. Others were glowing and thought they were ying well. Josie looked at the finished product in front of her and was apprehensive. I also do not know, their own this finished product, can be sessfully passed. "Now, we ask the staff to change these ready-to-wear clothes to the models respectively, and after ten minutes, we ask the judges to start toment and score them one by one." The host opened his mouth and immediately afterwards, the staff took the ready-to-wear clothes made by each contestant backstage and gave them to the models to change into. Ten minutester, the models began to walk the show. The judges'' eyes were locked on each model, recording their evaluations and scores in their own notebooks. Twenty yers then stood on the side, quietly and nervously watching their masterpieces. "Nancy, have you seen Josie''s designs? Why do I feel that the clothes she made don''t match the design?" Ciara stares at the model wearing the ready-to-wear clothes made by Josie and whispers in Nancy''s From N?velDrama.Org. ear. Nancy''s almond eyes shed slightly and hooked her lips, "Yes, I also feel that the garment she made does not match the design presented." "Ha! Looks like Josie''s getting kicked out." The finished product doesn''t match your own design, so you''re definitely not in the final. Ciara had a gloating look on her face. Nancy''s mouth was also a bit pressed into a smile. The eyes subconsciously swept aside to Matilda and saw her looking fixedly at Josie''s model. Josie''s finished garment didn''t match the original design, so why did she think Matilda was behind it? Becausest night, she saw Matilda sneak off to another floor yet. And on that floor, lived the staff of the program! Thepetition is still in full swing. Twenty models finished the show and started waiting for the judges to score andment. The moderator began to ask the judges from number one. Josie''s heart was pounding as she listened to the judges'' sharpments. Soon, it was time for her models. The three judges looked at the models on the field and began to exchange words. Immediately afterwards, Arie took the microphone and started asking questions "Josie, the quality of this finished product you produced is ok, but there are slight differences from the submitted design. Could you please tell us why you added a jasmine flower to this finished product?" Hearing this, Josie said, without being condescending, "Teachers, the reason why I want to add a jasmine flower to the finished product is because I am a designer. Designers are supposed to be spontaneous and spontaneous, and when inspirationes, they want to change the original idea." "Gambiered Silk is ethereal and noble, and when I first designed the garment, I only thought of that, but ignored our state-owned culture. Now, I embroider a jasmine flower with various silk threads, which just reflects our traditional culture, and even if I go to the international stage, it is still an atmospheric beauty." A statement that sounds a little arrogant, and a kind of deliberate sensationalism in it. She rises to the level of internationalization and national heritage, making it impossible to pick a fault. The three judges exchanged a few more words. Halfway through the day, Arie nodded. "Josie, although there is a gap between the garment you presented and the design, there is no denying that this garment of yours is stunning and impressed us. Congrattions on advancing to the finals." She has advanced! Josie''s heart burst with joy and she bowed to the apuse of the entire audience. Nancy''s fingers tugged tight, her eyes fell on Josie''s delicate face, and a cold aura shed in her eyes. She actually made it to the finals! Are these three judges deliberately letting the water out? Backstage, Violet heard the result and let out a long breath, her eyes tinged withughter. Josie''s strength is known to her and will definitely advance to the final. Only, why did she suddenly make a ready-made dress that differed from the design? There must be some special reason. Thepetition is still going on, with Nancy and Ciara and Matilda all making it to the finals. After the tenth finalist was decided, the host announced the end of the semi-finals. Twenty contestants havee to the backstage. After Violet and Natalie helped the model remove her makeup, they went to Josie. "Josie, congrattions, you made it to the finals." Violet smiled and gave Josie a big hug. Josie breathed out, "Violet, you have no idea, I was almost scared to death." Violet let go of her, "What''s going on? I saw you freeze for a few minutes during the game, did something happen?" "Yeah, my fabric is actually a problem fabric." Josie said. "What? The fabric is actually faulty?" Violet had a surprised look on her face. "Isn''t it? I don''t know if it''s artificially damaged, or if the show is deliberately testing the contestants and giving this piece of fabric." Josie ruffled her hair around her ears, chin slightly raised, "Good thing I was smart enough to quickly think of a remedy, and that''s how I advanced." Hearing this, Violet nodded, thoughtful. If the program team makes arrangements in advance, the staff, including them, the directors and so on, cannot be ignorant. And, she didn''t hear the other yers say they had problems with the fabric. If this is a gimmick by the show, Josie can''t be the only one with a problem with the fabric, right? So, she guessed, Josie''s fabric was faulty and it should be man-made! Who could be behind this? "Well, Violet, I was so nervous this morning I didn''t even eat breakfast, and now I''m so hungry, let''s go, let''s go, let''s eat." Josie, having sessfully advanced, worked up an appetite and pulled Violet towards the outside. Ciara was furious as she watched the two leave,ughing and talking. "What''s wrong? Her dress didn''t match the design and she made it to thepetition? The judges must have let her down! If it was anyone else, they would have been eliminated." Hearing this, Nancy''s almond eyes shed slightly, "Well Ciara, don''t be indignant. Who made her backstage? Come on, Matilda, let''s go eat." Matilda was looking steadily at the direction Josie was leaving, and after a long time, she forced a smile, answered, and followed the two of them. Can''t have Josie in the final! She hates her! Chapter 409 Chapter 409 Violet and Josie walked out of the tournament and saw Austin standing outside waiting for Josie. "Josie, congrattions, on making it to the semifinals." "Thanks." Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Josie lifted her chin slightly, with some small pride. "Come on, let''s buy you guys dinner." Austin put his arm around Josie''s shoulders and smiled. "Don''t pull and tug in public." "We''re boyfriend and girlfriend, isn''t it normal for me to put my arm around you?" "I don''t want it." "When a woman says no, she means yes." "" Listening to the two flirting, Violet curled her lips. Her smile fades slightly at the thought of thepetition. Josie made it to the semi-finals without any problems, and I wonder if the person behind it will not be happy and continue to y tricks behind the scenes. By mid-afternoon, a news story started going viral on the Inte. The news is about the falsification of the Gambiered Silk Design Contest by the program team. A set of photos of Josie having dinner with Arie and othersst night was published online. At the same time, the rtionship between Josie and Austin''s characters was also released. Netizens are questioning the fairness of the show. "This kind of show is supposed to be a gimmick, do you really think the contestants have real talent?" "The gold owner behind Josie is Austin, and Austin and David are good brothers. With such connections, why wouldn''t the judges'' teachers rush to release the water?" "That''s right, Josie and Violet are still good friends, you''ll understand if you pick up the information of thest Sunlite Model Contest." "It''s better not to watch this kind of unfairpetition." "" Netizens havemented at the bottom of the post. For a while, the designpetition was full of negative news about the event. And at this time, Josie and Violet are using their free time to shop. The two soon received a call from the director asking them toe back to the hotel. That''s when they found out about the news. "Who posted that? I, Josie, entered the final with my real skills, howe I am the one who was let down?" Josie watched the news with a look of exasperation. Violet''s eyebrows wrinkled slightly, "Josie, it''s clear that the faulty fabric you had in the semi-finals was sabotaged. The person behind the curtain missed one blow and had another n." Seeing that a faulty piece of fabric didn''t bother Josie, the man behind the scenes began to smear her, relying on her connections to get to the final. Under the pressure of public opinion, it is very likely that the show will stop Josie from the semi-finals. Then the man behind the curtain has gotten his way. "Who is actually ying dirty behind the scenes?" Josie had an indignant look on her face. Violet thought about it, "Josie, Mr. Evison has a lot of contacts, can you ask him to help you find out who contacted the media and sent out this news?" Maybe the person who contacted the media is the person behind the curtain. Josie answered and gave Austin a call. And at that moment, Austin was meeting with a client. Hearing Josie''s words, he hurriedly used his connections to find out the truth. Soon there was a reply from his side. "Josie, someone anonymously sent the photo to a media outlet. I checked and the person is supposed to be Matilda." Matilda? It''s actually her! Josie had an angry look on her face, "I knew it, this woman is pretentious and not a good person." Violet pondered, thinking of the scene she sawst night when she went to the wrong floor, she hurriedly pulled out a relevant document about the program from her phone to check. Chapter 410 Chapter 410 She needed to know what kind of people lived on that floorst night. "Josie, it does appear that Matilda is behind this." Violet saw the name of the person and said, "She should have paid off the staff to break a good piece of Gambiered Silk before the game and then give it to you." A staff member of the program who lived on that floor. And only this staff has ess to the Gambiered Silk for thepetition. "This evil-minded white lotus, I''m going to expose her right away." Josie, with a look of exasperation on her face, walked back quickly. "Josie, this is just a guess on our part, no proof yet." Violet quickly followed up with a reminder. Josie''s pace slowed down, "Yeah oh, what about that?" "Get your Mr. Johnson! Get him to help find the evidence." "Looking for him again?" "Well na, what''s wrong? Afraid of owing someone a favor, huh?" Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. "OK bah, big deal, sleep with him twice more at night." "" In the hotel''s makeshift conference room. Arie was angry. "Some journalists just make something out of nothing, catching wind of things." How dare you imply that she received a favor to open the back door for the contestants? This is a nder against her. "Ms. Arie, take it easy for a moment." The director himself poured a ss of water for Arie. "Director, the news has been fermenting and I see that theizens are so emotional that they are saying that if Josie still makes it to the finals, they won''t watch this game." The chief executive producer wrinkled his brow. "Yes, director, look at the matter now, why don''t we let Josie withdraw from thepetition first." The assistant director made a suggestion. "I also think Josie should be taken out of the game first." "Yes, after all, we do the show, it would be bad if all the harvest is bad reviews." "" Several staff members chimed in. The director was still thinking as he listened to the chatter of the crowd. At that moment, Josie and Violet came in. "I didn''t do anything wrong, why should I withdraw from thepetition?" Josie''s spine straightened and she spoke. "Yes, director, if Josie withdraws from thepetition just like that, won''t that be a solid confirmation that there is something fishy about our program?" Violet looked at the director and said without being condescending. "They have a point, director, we can''t let Josie withdraw from thepetition because of what the Arie spoke up, "We three judges score on the principle of fairness and impartiality, if Josie just withdrew from thepetition, wouldn''t that be a direct p in the face of our judges?" Hearing this, the director smiled and said soothingly, "Ms. Arie, please don''t be angry, I don''t think Josie should be withdrawn from thepetition either. Here''s the deal,ter on you guys will see how you judge whether a contestant can advance or not." "In the meantime, Ms. Arie you can contact again Ms Ra. She is the founder of Gambiered Silk Design Contest and she will speak more convincingly." The director came up with a solution, Arie nodded and started a discussion with a few of the judges. Josie and Violet looked at each other and both sighed with relief. At this time, several yers heard the news and also rushed over. Among them were several of Matilda''s people. She didn''t hear the director''s solution, and her eyes flickered slightly when she saw Josie standing quietly, like she was waiting for a result. "Josie, we all saw the news, don''t be angry, we do believe in your ability, never rely on connections to get into the final." Hearing this fake words, Josie ruffled the hair around her ear and snorted lightly. "Matilda, don''t act, you made the whole thing happen, didn''t you? You had someone break my Gambiered Silk so that I couldn''t turn in thepetition and create rumors so that the crew could brush me off, right?" Matilda, why are you so devious? Chapter 411 Chapter 411 Hearing Josie''s questioning, Matilda''s face changed slightly. From N?velDrama.Org. "Josie, I know you don''t like me, but you can''t nder me like that, can you?" How did Josie guess that she did it? Did she know anything? No, she did it very carefully, Josie must have guessed blindly! Matilda forced two tears out of her eyes to make herself look pitiful. Josie hated her white lotus look and was disgusted all of a sudden. "Matilda, you''re still pretending? I''m not my father and I only feel disgusted by your tears!" "Josie, it''s really not me." Matilda''s eyes snapped down in a timid manner. "I say Josie, don''t bully Matilda just because you have someone to back you up." Ciara said with a twinkle in her eye, taking advantage of the opportunity. "Yeah, Miss Scott, we''re all designers, you can''t smear Matilda if you don''t have proof." Nancy took the opportunity to chime in. "I think she''s doing it on purpose, just because Matilda identally ran into Austin''s arms earlier, and she''s taking the opportunity to get back at him." "Isn''t it? This Josie is really arrogant! Is it really like whatizens say, she has a golden master behind her, and that''s why she made it to the final?" "I think this Josie should be disqualified from thepetition, otherwise is there any fairness left?" "That''s right, if the show doesn''t give us a statement today, we''ll withdraw from thepetition." "" Several yers took a stand, all on Matilda''s side. The crew went to appease the contestants, but it was clear that the attitudes were somewhat biased in their favor. Josie''s chest rose and fell in anger, but Violet held her hand tightly to keep her from going up to the people in agitation. They have asked Austin to find out the truth. Now we''ll just have to wait for Austin toe up with evidence to hit us in the face! Finally, Austin came. "Mr. Evison, what brings you in here? Something wrong?" The director knew Austin and saw hime straight in and rushed to wee him. Austin gave Josie a look and hooked his lips in a smile, "Someone is ndering my fianc¨¦e for going through the back door, and I can sit back and do nothing about it?" The man is already good-looking, a smile is even more handsome and extraordinary. Several female yers instantly had stars in their eyes. Matilda looked at him steadily, and there was even a sh of affection in her eyes. "The evidence was found?" Josie came up beside Austin and asked in a low voice. "What do you think? I''m going to treat your business with 10,000 percent of my heart anyhow." Austin smiled at her dotingly. "Then why don''t you get it out quickly?" A blush shed across Josie''s face and her heart was sweet. Austin hooked his lips and looked at the director with the smile on his face already restrained. "Director, here''s a sh drive that you can put out for everyone to see." The director was unsure, but had it released anyway. The u-drive shows a surveince video of a floor. The video clearly captures Matilda walking out of a room. "Mr. Evison, what does this mean?" After watching the video, the director couldn''t help but ask. Austin did not answer his question, but looked at Matilda. "That''s for Miss Servello to ask, what were you doing running into Ro Day''s roomst night?" Matilda''s face had gone white when she saw the surveince video. Chapter 412 Chapter 412 She forced herself to y it cool and whispered, "I know Uncle Ro, so I went to say hello to himst night." "Oh? Is it as simple as just saying hello? Didn''t you ask him to do you a favor and break Josie''s Gambiered Silk for thepetition?" Austin asked with a smile, but there was no half smile under his eyes. "I didn''t, Mr. Evison, don''t you use me wrongly." Matilda hastily denied it. Austinughed softly and called out towards the door, "Ro, aren''t youing in yet?" The middle-aged man at the door walked in in a cold sweat, trembling. "Mr. Evison, the director." Austin looked at him askance, "Say, did Matilda ask you to do her a favorst night or not and break Josie''s Gambiered Silk for thepetition?" Ro''s head hung low with a chagrined look on his face, "Matilda''s mother and I are old acquaintances, and it was my moment of confusion that I listened to Matilda and did the wrong thing." Matilda''s face went white, "Uncle Ro, I just went to say hello to youst night, why are you ndering me?" Is this person stupid? There was no third person present for the two of them to talk to. He denied it and that''s it? Ro raised his eyes and red at her, "Matilda, don''t be sophomoric, it''s all your fault, now I''m even Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. going to lose my job." Who is Austin? He said it was useless even if he was sophomoric, he had the video of him breaking Gambiered Silk in his hand. If he admits it painfully, he can not send him to the police. Otherwise, he must have put himself in jail for a few more years. He is a civilian, losing his job is a small matter, but in any case can not be in jail ah! Of course, how could he not have imagined that Austin was just swindling him? After all, time was short, and no one saw him break Gambiered Silk when he did, and Austin didn''t even have video of him breaking Gambiered Silk. "The evidence is all there, Matilda, and it is useless for you to argue." Austin looked at Matilda coldly, "And the news just now, you think it''s okay to release it anonymously? I also had someone find out that it was you who sent those photos to the media, and it was also you who used a small number to bring the rhythm on the inte. matilda, people like you who have bad character must be removed from the design world." A remark that caused Matilda''s body to tremble lightly with a look of trepidation. The director wrinkled his brow and questioned, "Matilda, did you really do it?" "Director, I" Matilda''s eyes are red, bean-sized teardrops seem to be falling down without money, and make people pity. "I, I was wrong, I was just mad at Josie for scolding me, that''s why I got carried away for a while, I won''t dare to do it again." Hearing this, the director shook his head, disappointment shing in his eyes. He walked up to Arie, discussed with a few people, and finally said, "Matilda, you are of bad character, you don''t have to be on this show anymore." She was removed from the list. Matilda was in tears, watching through blurred vision as Austin swept Josie away, her heart full of resentment. Why is Josie so lucky? Without Austin, she should be out of the game! Austin, she''s going to get him back! Yeah, just use that and get him back! "Okay, everyone go back and prepare for tomorrow''s finals without any more mischief." The director said to several yers. Nancy watched Matilda''s back as she left, regretfully. Matilda did not disappoint her and actually made a move in the semi-finals. It''s just a shame that it failed like that! Does it mean that Josie is really going to get the title this time? "I really didn''t expect Matilda to do something like this without a word? It''s just a shame that it didn''t have an impact on Josie." Ciara grimaced, feeling the same regret. Nancy gave her a look and deliberately sighed, "There''s no way, Josie has a valuable person to help her, we''ll just be reduced to running with her." "That''s impossible to say, it''s not the final yet." Chapter 413 Chapter 413 The show had Arie give the basis for her critique, and with Matilda''s withdrawal from thepetition, things quickly took a turn for the worse. For a while, Josie''s poprity was extremely high. "I told you this sister relies on strength." "I remember thest time she helped Miss Helena out." "How could such a bright sister need to go through the back door?" Theizens have turned their words around and praised Josie. Someizens have also picked up on the fact that Josie helped Violet punish Jessie before. Josie saw thements of theizens, hooked her lips and dragged Violet and Natalie to the famous bar of Pce Hotel to rx in the evening. We were joined by Austin and David, as well as Summer and her siblings, who had just arrived at the Pce Hotel. No one is happier about the appearance of Summer and her siblings than David. A pair of beautiful eyes are almost always glued to Summer. Summer was so ufortable by her look that she said hello to Violet and Josie and then went to the bathroom. David took a sip of wine and got up to follow. "Summer, you walk a little slower, Pce Hotel bar your first time here, don''t get lost, I''ll go with you." David followed Summer and looked at Summer with a smile in his eyes. "So, youe here often? Also, how many big stars are there who don''t go clubbing?" Summer pinned a strand of hair that had fallen out of her ear behind her ear. As he was about to move on, the man pushed her against the wall in one fell swoop, propped one hand on the wall, and encircled her in his arms. "Summer, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me?" Summer was taken aback by him, looking at his good-looking handsome face close at hand, her ears slightly hot. "What are you doing? Stand up first and talk properly." Summer is the chief secretary, usually has been moderate, talking and acting especially like an old cadre, a board. And now, her almond eyes are shing, like a scared little rabbit. David looked at her rare expression of small daughterly demeanor and pressed a little closer. "Summer, I have a few words to say to you." He had known her for years, and he thought it was time to make his feelings known. "What do you want to say?" Summer just felt her face burning, she pushed her hands against David''s firm chest, trying to push him away, but David pushed her hands against the wall. David looked steadily at her beautiful face and rolled the knot in his throat, "Summer, I..." "David, is that you?" A surprised woman''s voice came from the right side. David''s second half of the sentence was interrupted and his sword eyebrows twisted. Summer hurriedly broke away from his hand and straightened her hair around her ear, barely calming her heartbeat. David looked sideways towards the sound of the voice and saw Nancy and Ciaraing in his All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. direction. Nancy! How did you meet her at this time? David was so upset that he looked at her indifferently. Nancy''s heart ebbed and flowed, her eyes fell on Summer''s face, her fingernails almost pinching into her flesh. What did she just see? Is David getting ready to kiss Summer? Thest time she was at the Scott family''s reception, she felt that David and Summer had an unusual rtionship. Are the two of them really having an affair? "David, you''re here to y too, huh? Are you and this sister in a rtionship?" Nancy squeezed out a fake smile and tried. David nced at her and his eyes moved slightly. The next second, he reached out and swept Summer into his arms. "Yes, I''m dating Summer." If he has a girlfriend, I think the elders of his family will not put him and Nancy together all day long. The expression on Summer''s face stiffened, and she gave him a sideways re, trying to break away from his hand. But David''s hands were like iron mps around her waist, keeping her immobile. The deep eyes looked at her with a smile and a doting face. Chapter 414 Chapter 414 Nancy looked at the scene and her face changed for a moment. "No, David, why did I hear Sister Fang say that this sister has a great rtionship with Louis,Mr. Johnson?" How can David have a rtionship with another woman? What should she do then? "Yeah, I heard thatst time at the Scott family''s reception. A lot of people in the circle were talking about it." Ciara''s almond eyes twinkled as she chimed in. David frowned and looked at the two men with displeasure. "What are you all babbling about?Summer and Louis are cousins, and when Helena says they''re close, she means close to rtives." These people, really have nothing better to do than to chew the cud. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. I also me Louis, the culprit, for not exining the misunderstanding to Helena earlier. Helena was at the Scott family reception and deliberately said that Summer and Louis had a great rtionship in order to save Summer''s life. It makes people think. "But this Sister Summer isn''t really the Riley is she?" Nancy gave Summer a look, "She''s just the Riley family''s adopted daughter, and a man of Mr. Johnson''s caliber would be very desirable." Every woman around David, she will investigate the background of each other''s life. This is how they find out that Summer is not the Riley family''s golden girl. She is just an orphan adopted by the Riley family. Hearing Nancy''s words, David''s face had sunken. As he was about to speak, Summer pulled his hand away and smiled at Nancy. "Miss Williams really has nothing better to do than to investigate me?" She had a smile on her face, ridiculous not to reach the bottom of her eyes. Nancy also put on a fake smile, "No, because Miss Riley is too dazzling, I was curious about the Baidu, everything is on the Dounian." Summer hooked her lips, "I''m not as dazzling as Miss Williams. At the Scott family''s reception that day, many noblemen were drooling over your beautiful body." "You" Nancy blushed, thinking of the embarrassing events of that day, and was immediately ashamed and annoyed. Summer ignored her blush, ruffled her hair around her ear and said, "Miss Williams , know you like David, but please don''t think of me as an imaginary enemy. I don''t like guys who are too pretty, and I don''t want to have a sibling rtionship." She had a sense of proportion and didn''t want to have anything to do with David. For one thing, David is a dazzling big star, and the environment of the entertainment industry makes it too easy for good people to be bad people. Find such a man as a boyfriend, too insecure. Secondly,she knows that she is not worthy of David in her own right. Even if she had a crush on David, she wouldn''t show it. Summer finished and was ready to leave. David took her by the arm, and his face did not look too good. "Summer, what''s that you''re saying? Don''t like pretty men? You think I''m too pretty? Then why don''t I put a cut on my face?" What else do you say that you don''t like brother-sister rtionships? She and he are the same age, okay? Can this be her choice of spouse? "David, if you put a cut on your face, do I have to prepare to get acid thrown on me by your fans?" Summer lightly hooked the corners of her lips and plucked away David''s hand that was pulling her a little. Looking at the woman''s back as she left decisively, David''s face was as ck as a pot. It''s all excuses. After all, she just doesn''t feel anything for herself! David grimaced and prepared to leave. "David." Nancy wanted to go after him and talk to him. David nced at her coldly, "I''m in a bad mood, you''d better stay away from me." Nancy''s pace slowed down. Looking at his tall, upright back, his fingers tugged tight. Why does he just refuse to set his eyes on her? What''s wrong with her! Chapter 415 Chapter 415 "Nancy, don''t be angry, this Summer is not as pretty as you, and her family is not good, but she is quite self-aware." Ciara persuaded, pulling Nancy towards the reserved card table. Nancy''s heart was full of depression, but she still managed to pull out a faint smile. "David didn''t treat me so coldly before, and it was only after I returned to China this time that he suddenly became distant from me. I don''t know if I did something wrong." Hearing this, Ciara thought for a moment. "All this time, David has been close to Violet and the others, I think it''s probably because someone told him something. violet, Josie, both of these women are bitches." Nancy did not say anything, and her heart hated Violet. It seems that nothing has gone well since I met Violet this time back. "Ciara ?" Not far away, a man walks up, slightly surprised, and calls Ciara by her nickname. Ciara looked at the visitor and smiled, "So it''s Jensen, what a coincidence." From N?velDrama.Org. Jensen Fisher stood in front of Ciara, "Ciara is getting so beautiful, I didn''t recognize her." "Jensen you are good at talking." "I''m telling the truth." They exchanged pleasantries and Jensen asked, "Ciara , I''ve just returned to China, I haven''t seen your sister for a long time, how is she?" "My sister, she, hasn''t been having a good timetely." Ciara spoke up. The smile on Jensen''s face was slightly restrained, "Ciara , since we met, wouldn''t you mind sitting down together for a chat." Ciara nced at Nancy and questioned with her eyes. Nancy smiled indifferently. "Sure." Ciara nodded her head and agreed. "You guys go over and sit down while I go get some stuff." Jensen smiles and heads to the drinks section. "Ciara , who is he? Looks pretty rich." Nancy asked as she sat down on the card table and looked at Jensen''s figure. "His name is Jensen, a suitor of my sister, two years younger than my sister, who once failed to confess his love for my sister and left the country." Ciara took a sip of the drink the waiter brought over, looked at Jensen who was walking this way, and suddenly thought of something and a sh of excitement came to her eyes. "Nancy, I have a way to keep Josie from getting the title!" Nancy was looking around and when she heard her words, her almond eyes shed slightly. "Ciara , what do you have in mind?" This woman has finallye up with a solution? I just don''t know if it works or not. "You don''t know that Jensen''s brother is the assistant director of this show." Ciara spoke up. "And then what?" Nancy asked. Ciara lowered her voice and came closer to Nancy, "No one knows the content of the final, so tomorrow it will depend on the critical y. But if we get the final questions in advance and prepare well in advance, do you think the champion will still fall to Josie?" Hearing this, Nancy''s eyes lit up. She understood what Ciara was saying. "You mean, you want that Jensen to help us get the final title?" "Well, don''t you see? Just now when I mentioned my sister, he looked very focused, so I think he still has my sister in mind. As long as I tell him that it was Josie who did my sister in, he will definitely do us a favor." Ciara''s eyes rolled up and she spoke. Nancy raised an eyebrow, a pang of excitement in her heart. That''s a valid approach. If she can really know the content of the finals in advance, with her skills, she can still notpete with Josie? "He''sing." Nancy saw Jensen approaching and whispered a reminder to Ciara . Ciara put a smile on her face and called out to Jensen petntly. The three of them sat on the card table, chatting with each other. It''s all about Jessie. The private room. Violet obviously noticed that David''s mood was not quite right. He sipped his mulled wine and nced at Summer from time to time, his eyes full of sorrow. Summer, on the other hand, looked as if nothing had happened, joking andughing with Dominic and Austin. It is obvious that the boy has love and the concubine has no intention of seeing ah. Chapter 416 Chapter 416 "I''m going to go to the bathroom." Violet didn''t want to be nosy, and after speaking to Josie, she exited the booth. "I''m going too." Natalie stood up in a hurry and went out of the booth with Violet. At that moment, a video call came in on Violet''s cell phone. She picked it up and looked at it. It was her daughter calling. So she let Natalie go first, while she went to a quiet corner to talk to the little one. Natalie didn''t really want to go to the bathroom, but just wanted to be alone with Violet for a while. Instead of leaving on her own, she stood in the hallway andwaited for Violet. Not far away is the card table. Natalie looked around in boredom, and without realizing it, she saw Ciara sitting with the three of them, wondering what they were talking about. She knew those two and Violet were not on the same page and skimmed at the sight of them. "Natalie, why are you still here?" When Violet finished her call and came out, she was a little surprised to see Natalie still waiting for her. "Well, I''ll wait for you to join me." Natalie put a good-natured smile on her face and went to the bathroom with Violet. Across the ocean. Louis and Mark finished talking about the details of the partnership and returned to the hotel. Slender fingers pulled away to rip the tie off, and he sat down on the sofa somewhat wearily. After a moment of silence, he took the cell phone he used to contact Violet out of his bag and looked at it for two seconds. Another day passed, and Violet still didn''t return his messages. Is she that busy? Or do you not want to talk to yourself? Louis raised an eyebrow and dialed Violet''s number. She does not want to take care of herself, he wants to harass her. The phone is always blind. She''s on the phone? Louis set his phone aside and went to wash up first. When he was done washing, he picked up his phone and looked at it, and it was empty. Violet didn''t call him back. Louis'' eyes deepened and he dialed another number. Still in blind tone. Who is she talking to on the phone? How could it take so long? Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly, thought about it, and called Austin. "Where are you?" "I''m hanging out with Dominic and the guys at the Pce Hotel bar! Are youing back?" Austin is watching as Josie pulls Violet onto the dance floor to dance. "Violet''s there?" Louis heard the noise in the bar. "Yeah! She''s dancing with Josie on the dance floor." She was dancing on the dance floor? Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Then why did he just call her and show that she was on a call with someone? Louis'' dark eyes stared deeply as a possibility urred to him. Has Violet cked him out? "Hello? Louis, are you still there?" Austin saw Louis stopped talking and fed several times. Louis'' face sank and he simply pressed off the phone. Halfway through the day, he called Harry. "Harry, book a ticket to the Pce Hotel for me." He would like to ask someone why they cked him out? Chapter 417 Chapter 417 Nightes. Silence in the back garden of the hotel. "Ciara , this is the final question, my brother refused to give it to me, but I found an opportunity to Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. secretly find the program flow sheet from hisputer, and there is the final question in it." Jensen handed a document to Ciara . Ciara took it with a delighted face, "Thank you so much, Jensen." "You''re wee, I was just trying to take the heat off your sister too." Jensen smiled, "Then I''ll go first and wait for your good news." "Good." Ciara sends Jensen away and looks at Nancy, who is standing by. "Nancy, I say go ahead, Jensen will definitely help us out." Nancy''s heart is full of excitement at this moment. But the face does not show it. "Ciara , is it really okay for us to do this? I always feel a little weak." "You''ve already got the title and you''re saying things like that?" Ciara gave Nancy an unpleasant re, then drew out the paper from the file folder. Nancy suppressed her inner excitement and hurriedly padded over. "So the final is embroidery within a set time limit! This one is a bit hard for me yet." Ciara bristled and handed the document to Nancy, "Nancy, you are stronger than me, whether you can overpower Josie depends on you." Nancy took the paper, her eyes fell on the embroidery title marked on the paper for her entry, and pretended to be shy Hao. "Luckily I have been studying embroidery with my tutor during my college years and this topic is not that difficult." It''s impossible not to count it as hard! If she had been given such a question on the day of the final, she would not necessarily have been able to turn in a satisfactory answer in the time allotted. "Let''s go, let''s hurry back and prepare properly." Ciara pulls Nancy and prepares to go back. Just as the two men took their first steps, someone stepped out from behind a tree. With a cell phone in his hand, he was shooting at the two. "Good, you two actually cheated!" Looking at the sudden appearance of Natalie, Ciara and Nancy''s faces changed dramatically. "You, what are you talking about? What cheating?" Ciara stares at Natalie and denies it. Natalie looked at her and gave a light hum, "Don''t deny it, I recorded your meeting with that man just now. Whether it''s cheating or not, you guys know it by heart." "You delete the stuff on your phone!" Ciara stepped forward and tried to grab Natalie''s phone. Natalie took a step back with a wary look on her face, "What do you want?" "What for? If you don''t delete it, I''ll make you look good!" Ciara''s face was furious, and Nancy pulled her back in a hurry. "Ciara , don''t do that." This stupid woman, why is she still talking so fiercely when it''s already thiste? This is the time to find ways to pull people together. "I recognize you, you''re Violet''s assistant Natalie, right?" Natalie looked at the fake smile on Nancy''s face and a glint of contempt shed in her eyes. "Don''t call it that affectionate, I don''t know you well." The smile on Nancy''s face paused slightly, but soon it was smiling again. "Once you get acquainted, many friends don''te from birth, right?" Nancy paused, "Natalie, many friends make many roads, can you help us keep it a secret and pretend you didn''t see anything?" Hearing this, Natalie''s almond eyes turned and looked Nancy up and down, "If I keep your secret, what''s in it for me?" That means there is room for negotiation? Nancy heart a happy, quickly said: "Let''s do this, we pay 10,000, buy your just video okay?" "Out of 10,000? You send beggars!" Natalie snorted lightly. "So how much do you want?" Nancy saw that there was a y and suppressed her inner joy. Natalie''s eyes rolled up and she held out five fingers. Chapter 418 Chapter 418 "Fifty thousand? That''s OK." Nancy was relieved and readily agreed. "Fifty thousand? You guys as Nobledies, do you want to be so stingy? Let''s add a zero at the end." Natalie said with a grimace. She actually asked for half a million! This woman is a real lion! Nancy cursed Natalie in her heart. Ciara on the other side can''t stand it anymore, "Hey, giving you 50,000 is a favor to you, don''t be so stubborn!" "So it''s not a deal? All right, I''m going to go find the director and give him this video." Natalie puts her phone away and pretends to walk away. Nancy hastily called out to her, "Okay, half a million on half a million. We will immediately pay you the money, you delete the video, okay?" Natalie''s footsteps were halted and a glint of triumph shed in her eyes. "OK, just do as you say." Nancy looked to Ciara and gestured for her to call the money. "I call the money?" Ciara was somewhat displeased. Nancy said, "If she doesn''t call the money, can''t she call the money herself? She didn''t want to lose half a million for nothing. "Ciara , if you don''t pay her, we''re done for the day. That''s the information Jensen stole for you." Nancy deliberately aggravated the name Jensen. Ciara bit her lip, thinking that the idea was her own, suddenly a face of suffocation. She gave Natalie a hard stare and finally gave her a painful transfer of half a million. "Here you go, hurry up and delete the video for me." "OK, I''ll delete it right away." The money arrived and Natalie deleted the video in front of her. "Natalie, there''s no backup, is there?" Nancy asked uneasily. "Not sure, huh? Then you can check it yourself." Natalie shook her phone and Nancy nonchntly took it over to examine it. Watching her and Ciara both check their phones, Natalie''s hand squeezed her coat pocket and a smug smile curled the corners of her mouth. She was just standing in the window of her room looking at the view and didn''t expect to see these two people sneaking towards the back garden. Going to the back garden sote at night, intuitively they have a problem. She kept an eye out, grabbed her cell phone, and a recorder that she carried with her to follow her. Sure enough, she spied a secret. The video on the phone can be deleted, but her recorder has aplete record of several people''s conversations. Violet''s attitude towards her has been nonchnt since thest incident. Now she can take credit for this secret! She will definitely be impressed with herself. After Nancy checked Natalie''s phone and saw that there was really no backup, she gave it back to her. "Natalie, what happened tonight, I hope you will never bring it up. If not, we can sue you for ckmail too can''t we?" Nancy''s face went cold with a warning. Natalie took the phone and nced at her, grunted coldly and turned to leave. Does she still want to sue herself? From N?velDrama.Org. She won''t get that chance. "Damn bitch, how did she see it!" Ciara was furious. Knocked half a million na! Even if she wins thepetition, the first prize is only 100,000. Nancy is also upset inside. "Forget it, let''s just spend the money to eliminate the disaster." She wouldn''t stoop so low as to please amoner if she didn''t want to be on the receiving end of the limelight! "Nancy, you must win in the final! Otherwise, it''s hard to relieve my hatred." Ciara said in a hateful voice. "Okay, I''ll do my best, okay?" Chapter 419 Chapter 419 Violet''s eyes were filled with surprise as she listened to the voiceing out of the recorder Natalie pulled out of her room. She really didn''t think that some people would do anything to win a contest. "Natalie, it''s a good thing you''re resourceful, you did a good job." Violetplimented her. Natalie''s eyes lit up and her heart glowed. "Miss Helena, so are we going to give this to the program right away?" "No, it''s too cheap to give it to the show right now. I want more people to see their ugly faces." Violet''s pretty face was slightly frozen, and her red lips spat out a sentence. Natalie looked at Violet steadily, her eyes full of adoration. "It''s gettingte, Natalie, so go to your room early and get some rest." Violet touched Natalie''s eyes and inexplicably got goose bumps on her body. It had been several times, and how had she found Natalie looking at herself with such a burning gaze? Did she worship herself too much? "Okay Miss Helena, you get an early night too." Natalie looked back to her normal self, said hello and left. From N?velDrama.Org. Violet watched her back as she left, her eyebrows knitted slightly. But she quickly put her thoughts to the matter at hand. She still has a few things to do away with for Josie! The following day. "Josie, go for it." Backstage between breaks, Violet personally put a makeup on Josie, smiling and cheering her on. She didn''t tell Josie what Natalie had told her yesterday. One is afraid of Josie''s distraction. Secondly, she believes in Josie''s strength. She wants Josie to tread lightly. "Okay, for this beautifully painted face, I will also cheer." Josie took a deep breath and made a cheering gesture. Violetughed lightly as the two chatted casually. Ciara, not far away, watched coldly, giving Josie a hateful look. She walked over to Nancy, "Nancy, are you ready?" She spent half a million dors to get the final title, Nancy has topete and must be ahead of Josie. "Don''t worry, it''s all ready to go." Nancy acts gentle and smiles reassuringly toward Ciara. Soon, the staff started getting them ready to go on. The ten finalists then took to the ying field. The smile on Violet''s face faded, and she took out her phone and sent a message to Austin. "Mr. Evison, is everything ready?" Austin is well-connected, so she contacted himst night, told him about it, and asked him to keep it a secret from Josie. At this moment, he is sitting in front of the monitor, ready to do something about itter. On the ying field, each yer was given a piece of Gambiered Silk. After some opening remarks by the moderator, the contest content and rules were read out. The topic of the final was for the contestants to make a finished product for the model using embroidery. The scoring criteria is based on speed and quality. The yers on the stage were basically stone-faced, thinking desperately with the Gambiered Silk in their hands. Only Nancy was calm and collected, pretending to think for a moment, and then began to cut. Ciara also pretended for a while and started to do the same. Josie stared at the Gambiered Silk in her hand, then at the model beside her, and after much deliberation, finally started to do the same. The camera swings over her body from time to time, and you can clearly see how skillful she is when she does it. The final was much longer than the semi-finals. David was brought in to keep viewers who like this kind ofpetition from getting bored. The host then interviewed him in another studio. "I think there must be a lot of people who like David, so the viewers in front of the TV must also be wondering what David likes. can David talk to us about it?" The host was able to grasp the audience''s psychology and after asking a few scene-stealing questions, he asked about his personal matters. David, with a smile on his face in keeping with his usual persona, sold a story. "You guys really want to know? Fine, it will be as soon as you want it." The host''s eyes lit up when he heard that. Chapter 420 Chapter 420 "David, what time is this immediately?" "When the game is over." David said. "At the end of thepetition, I remember that David you were going to sing a song, right? Did you want to use the song to confess your love to the woman you like?" The host just thought the news was a bit powerful. David smiled lightly and looked at the time, "It''s gettingte, I''m going to go get ready." There is no admission or denial. The host could only round up and keep everyone focused on the event. This wave of operation has whetted everyone''s appetite. Over time, the show''s buzz soared again. On thepetition field, the contestants were still working carefully on the design at hand. The most prominent one is Nancy. She moved quickly and was almost finished. They are followed closely by Josie and Ciara. Ciara practicedst night too, so she''s pretty fast too. Only the quality is a little worse. The ying field was filled with spectators. Summer and Dominic were also dragged by Austin to watch the game. "Where''s Austin? He dragged us in to help out his girlfriend and where did he go by himself?" Dominic looked at the empty spot beside him and asked in a small voice. Summer was swiping her phone, taking care of some harmless official business, when she heard his words, she casually said, "He''s probably going to give him Josie as a surprise." "Oh, is it possible to propose to Josie when she wins the championship? But what if Josie doesn''t get the title?" Dominic spected. Summer lifted her eyes and looked at the ying field, her eyebrows knitted. Although she does not know much about costume design, but so far, the fastest person is not Josie ah. "You don''t have to crow about it, watch out for Austin beating you up." "Uh, I''ll shut up." Time passed by. Soon, Nancy was the first to finish the work in hand. She rang the indicator bell in her hand, a sh of excitement in her eyes. She was the first to finish! All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. She must be the winner today! "Okay, number 12 Nancy is the first to finish her work!" Josie''s heart trembled slightly when she heard the host''s shout. Is Nancy actually done so quickly? So will she be the winner today? No, this race is not just about speed, but quality as well. Until thest minute, no one knows who the winner will be! Josie steadied her mind and put thest stitch on the finished dress, then pressed the instruction bell. "Okay, number 18 Josie has also finished her work. Wow, the time difference between the two is just one minute, thepetition is fierce!" The host''s voice stirred. Josie kept a light smile on her face as her eyes swept over to Nancy. Nancy''s gaze just happened to sweep over as well. Looking at each other, Josie could see the smugness and provocation in her eyes. It was as if to say that she was the winner this time. The contestants finished their works one after another. Until thest contestant rang the instruction bell, all the contestants presented their works. Next it was time for the judges to score. The moderator gave another impassioned speech and the judges scored each contestant''s work. Nancy''s work and Josie''s work, however, had the same score. The top three rankings were quickly settled. But there can only be one winner, so the judges had a hard time deciding between Nancy''s work and Josie''s work, and who''s better. In the end, the judges decided to award Nancy the title of the designpetition because she was faster. "Okay, then I announce that the winner of this Gambiered Silk Design Contest is" Ping! The lights suddenly dimmed. Immediately afterwards, amidst the shouts of the crowd, a voice suddenly came out from the big electronic screen on the ying field. Chapter 421 Chapter 421 "Ciara , this is the final question, my brother refused to give it to me, but I found an opportunity to secretly find the program flow sheet from hisputer, and there is the final question in it." "Thank you so much, Jensen." "You''re wee, I was just trying to take the heat off your sister too." "Nancy, I say go ahead, Jensen will definitely help us out." "Good, you two actually cheated!" "Natalie, many friends make many roads, can you help us keep it a secret and pretend you didn''t see anything?" All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. The sounding from the huge electronic screen made Nancy and Ciara''s faces turn white instantly. This is the conversation they had with Natalie in the grove. Didn''t Natalie say she deleted it? She''s lying to them! "What''s going on here? Did a contestant get the title in advance?" "Oh my God, this is so shameless!" "Who is so shameless, Nancy? Is it Nancy?" "" The crowd at the game was buzzing. Austin has returned to his position, just in time to watch the scene in its entirety. Dominic beside him had his mouth wide open in a daze. Looking back, he came closer to Austin and said, "Austin, tell me honestly, did you just go and make this y?" Austin raised an eyebrow, did not make a sound, just nodded as acquiescence. He''s waiting for his girlfriend to get the title and propose to her! How can it be spoiled! On the stage, the host was confused by the sudden situation. With an awkward look on her face, she looked to the director on stage for advice. At this point, Violet pulled Natalie up to the director and whispered something to him. And at the judges'' table, Arie''s face sank after a brief moment of surprise. She heard the voice of a woman inside. It''s Nancy. She actually cheated! "Nancy, is that your voice in this recording?" Arie took the microphone and looked at Nancy with a disappointed face. Nancy''s forehead oozed with fine sweat and her eyes were filled with panic. "Ms. Arie, I" What to do? Things are falling apart, everything is ruined! What to do! "That''s right, the people in the recording, one is Nancy, and the other is Ciara . They got someone to get the final questions in advance, and after I identally found out, they tried to buy me, and here is the record of our transaction." Natalie got on stage and got straight to the point. Nancy and Ciara looked at her at the same time, their eyes full of resentment. This untrustworthy viin! How could they not expect that this woman was actually lying to them? 500,000 didn''t even stop her from talking! "Okay, ourpetition is based on fairness and impartiality, and we reject all falsification." The host received instructions from the director and, after thanking Natalie, gestured for her to leave the stage. She then continued, "I now announce that Nancy and Ciara are disqualified from thepetition. The winner of this Gambiered Silk Design Contest is Josie! Let''s congratte her!" The change came so quickly that Josie was momentarily stunned. She didn''t respond until the host came up to her and asked her to say a few words about winning the award. The audience at the bottom of the stage apuded. Signs with Josie''s name bobbed in the crowd. The light is brilliantly illuminated. Her eyes fell on the man holding the sign, and although she was too far away to really see it, Josie recognized it as Austin. The nasal cavity is suddenly sour, some moved, and inexplicably want to cry. is excited. She took a deep breath and took the microphone to say her eptance speech. "Thank you, thank you to all the staff of the show, thank you to the judges, thank you to my friends and family who love my designs, I will keep working hard." The apuse kepting. Chapter 422 Chapter 422 At the bottom of the stage, Austin was all smiles, holding up the sign in his hand and waving it even harder. From N?velDrama.Org. A proper Josie fan. All is not the world''s eyes of the cold and arrogant image of the world has a son. Dominic poked him in the arm, "Austin, you look so silly now. Didn''t you say you were going to propose? Isn''t it an immediate move?" Austin automatically skipped the first half of his sentence and returned, "A proposal like that, of course it has to be serious, I''m not in a hurry." He was afraid Josie would be embarrassed. No, it''s that he''s a little timid. With so many cameras recording the video and the whole inte watching the game, how humiliating would it be for him if Josie rejected him or hesitated? Might as well wait for thepetition show and then settle down to give her a surprise. Behind the stage, Violet smiled at Natalie, "Natalie, tough job." "It''s not hard." Natalie looked at Violet with a smile on her face, and could clearly feel Violet''s attitude towards herself had changed for the better. At that moment, David came over. "Helena, I didn''t expect this your little assistant is quite powerful when ites to the key, let us watch a good show." Violet smiled and didn''t say anything. "Seeing how hypocritical Nancy is, my mom should stop chanting for me to go out with her, right?" David raised an eyebrow, his mood inexplicably pleasant. "If that''s the case, then you have our Natalie to thank for that." Violet said. Our family Natalie! When Natalie heard this, her heart burst into mes and she looked at Natalie with an even more burning gaze. "I must, I''ll buy you dinnerter." David said cheerfully. Natalie returned to her senses and returned good-naturedly, "Mr. Bergen you''re wee, it''s all Miss Helena''s good teaching." "Yo, a proper fan girl." Davidughed. Natalie smiles and looks at Violet with an eager gaze again. Violet coughed lightly and turned slightly sideways to avoid Natalie''s gaze. At that moment, Arie and a few judges came over, and her face did not look too good. David greeted him and called out to Mom. Arie hmmed and took a sip of the water he handed over, not saying anything. "I can''t believe that Nancy and Ciara would do something like this?" "Isn''t it? Thanks to me I still think highly of Nancy." "Who says it''s not? Obviously a talented woman who has to go off the rails with her sword and make her own death." Several judges were sighing. At this point, the contestants went backstage. Nancy''s face was covered with tears, and Ciara felt the scornful looks from the crowd. Her eyes fell on David, who was not far away, and she was even more mortified. After making a big fool of herself in front of her beloved, David is now looking down on her! And Arie, who would have been very much like herself, and now Nancy''s tears flowed even harder. She walked quickly to Arie and cried, "Ms. Arie, I was wrong, please forgive me for once." Arie''s face did not look good. "Nancy, how can you do something like stealing a title? It''s really too disappointing to me." "Ms. Arie, I... I just wanted your affirmation so badly that I got confused for a moment and got goaded ah. I''m sorry, I was really wrong." Nancy cried pearly tears, and her words implied that it was not her idea to steal the title. "You were egged on? Who encouraged you? Was it her?" Arie looked at Ciara with a cold face . Ciara choked and looked at Nancy with some dissatisfaction. "Nancy, are you ming me for this?" The idea was hers, yes. But she just wasn''t happy with Nancy''s attitude. And when something goes wrong, you put the me on her? "Ciara , I told you a long time ago that this was not good, but you insisted that Josie had hurt your sister and you had to take it out for your sister and never let her get the title. Oooh, I regret it so much." Nancy cried miserably, trying hard to squeeze out tears to gain sympathy. She had to put all the me on Ciara''s head. Otherwise, how else can we mix in the design world? Chapter 423 Chapter 423 Looking at Nancy crying miserably, Ciara''s face changed in anger. "Yes, I instigated you, you were forced, you were the victim. nancy, you are so hypocritical!" In a circle like theirs, there would have been many stic sisters. Suddenly I felt like I was being used as a gun. Ciara left in anger. Nancy hid her face and sobbed like she was chagrined. Violet watched the scene with cold eyes, knowing that Nancy was indeed hypocritical. The truth was revealed, and even if Nancy pretended to put the me on Ciara, it would not change the fact that she stole the title. "Josie, congrattions." Violet walks up to Josie, smiles and congrattes her. "Thanks." Josie gave Violet a hug, her eyes full of joy. She thought the championship would be lost to her this time, but she didn''t expect things to be reversed. Thanks to the little helper beside the girlfriends ah. Josie gave Natalie another hug. The three of them whispered andughed, and David walked over to congratte Josie. Nancy sees it in her eyes and hates it in her heart. At that moment, someone came to call David to perform on the stage. David nodded, his eyes inadvertently met Nancy''s, and he moved away indifferently. This makes David feel even less about himself! Nancy was so flustered that her eyes got really red. Arie nced at Nancy from the side and sighed darkly. Originally, I thought this Nancy was a good one and wanted her to be my daughter-inw. Now it seems that one has misjudged the person. It''s understandable that her son doesn''t like her. On stage. The host''s stirring voice rang out, weing David to the stage. The atmosphere was unprecedented. David''s fans shouted David''s name and waved signs with David''s name written all over them. David was smiling as sunny as ever, microphone in hand. Summer''s ears in her seat were filled with the deafening sound of fans calling out. She covered her ears to look at the man on stage and skimmed lightly. This man is used to confusing little girls with that pretty face. And those girls, how are they all outward-looking! However, David''s face is really pleasing to the eye. The scene of the man gazing deeply at himself shed in her mind, and Summer''s ears heated up slightly as she hastily beat her mind to it. By this time, David had already started singing. What he brought was a song, an episode of a TV series that his former team had helped him customize. The name of the song is Whispers. In that mellow voice, the man hummed the song. The ethereal apaniment seems to hit the heart. David sang the climactic part and began to walk off the stage as he sang. The audience in their seats instantly got excited and got up to shake hands with David. David smiled lightly and sang softly, his slender hands touching one audience member after another, walking towards Summer''s direction. The man''s eyes burned into her, smiling and singing love you, as if he was confessing his love for her. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Summer''s heart pounded uncontrobly and her pretty almond eyes flickered for a moment, only to get up and leave. Can this man stop looking at her and smiling? It''s embarrassing, okay? "Sis, don''t hide, look, David is confessing his love to you!" Dominic, who was on the side, saw Summer covering her face with her hair and looking like she was hiding, and came over and teased. "Don''t talk nonsense." Summer red at him. "I''m not making this up, look, David is here." Chapter 424 Chapter 424 Dominic squeezed his eyes and gestured for Summer to look ahead. Summer unconsciously looked over and saw David standing in front of her and was bending slightly, extending his hand towards her. What does he want? Summer bit her lip and red at him. David''s smile intensified, and while the chorus didn''t need to be sung, he reached out and took Summer''s hand, trying to pull her onto the stage without saying a word. "Hey, David, you''re crazy, let go of me." Summer looked surprised and tried to break away from him, but David held his hand tightly. Dominic, who was on the other side of the room, pushed her upwards so that David could pull her onto the stage. This filler! Summer grinded her teeth and wanted to turn around and punch him in the face. But in full view of everyone, she still has to take care of her image and can only put away her little fist. David sang again. He gripped Summer''s hand tightly, his dark eyes looked deeply into hers, and said love you one sentence after another. "What''s going on here, did David get a girlfriend?" "Oooh, what a heartfelt confession! Who is she, so envious of her." "No, my boy god, how can you have a girlfriend?" "I see she just had a reluctant expression, if not, rece me on ah." "" Below the stage, people began to talk. David''s fans, in particr, were screaming with excitement. Summer only felt those eyes like fire to burn her. It''s over, she feels like she''s about to be-stormed by David''s fans! She doesn''t want to be a target! David, the asshole, hadn''t she made it clear to him? Now what the hell is he doing! The lounge behind the stage. Violet and Josie are watching the live stream. "So the person David likes is Summer, huh?" Josie watched the scene with interest. Violet nodded, "The two of them are quitepatible." She could already tell that David had a crush on Summer. "Haha, David confessed his love to Summer by singing, it''s quite romantic." Josie gave a chuckle and augh. But isn''t it? Violet feels the same way. The line of sight unconsciously looked to the side and saw Nancy''s face twist for a moment. And Arie, sitting in her chair, frowned, as if she hadn''t expected her son toe up with this. Violet withdrew her eyes and continued to look at the screen, and saw that David had finished the song and was looking at Summer with a smile. Summer had one hand held tightly by David and the other covering her face in avoidance of the camera. The camera swept over the side of her face and could clearly see her cheeks were scarlet. From N?velDrama.Org. This is being forced to the mountain ah. Violetughed lightly, with a look of interest. On stage, Summer whispered through gritted teeth, "David, if you dare to talk nonsense in front of everyone, I will cut you off." By talking nonsense, she meant that David should not say anything like marry me. Then don''t me her for making him look bad. David obviously heard what she was trying to say, and a hint of helplessness shed across his eyes. How could she be indifferent to such a romantic asion? "Wow, that''s really nice. david, don''t you want to introduce everyone? Who is this youngdy? What is your rtionship with her?" The host pped a few times andughed to liven up the atmosphere. David nced at Summer and finally said, "She is the goddess of my heart, I hope everyone will leave her alone." The heart of the goddess, that in the end is not a girlfriend? Faced with David''s vague words, the host asked again, "David, can I take it that she is the one you are pursuing?" Chapter 425 Chapter 425 Davidughed lightly and before he could say anything, Summer was the first to say, "No, we''re just good friends." After saying that, she smiled slightly, then jumped off the stage and left the stage with quick steps. Just good friendships. David sighed inwardly, faced with the host''s burning gaze, smiled lightly and said thank you, then waved hello to everyone and exited the stage. The people at the bottom of the stage were still talking about it. There was spection about David and Summer''s rtionship. At the back of the stage, Violet and Josie looked at the screen with some regret in their hearts. "I was expecting to see David''s proposal scene, but I didn''t expect this." Josie ruffled her hair around her ear and spoke. "Yeah, it looks like David has a long way to go to catch the goddess." Violet smiled. "Yes, what a pity." Josie breathed out, "Well, the game is over, so it''s time for us to go back and get organized and hit the road home." The trip ended sessfully, full of harvest, happy! The two said hello to Arie and the program staff and exited the hotel. "Josie." Austin is waiting outside the hotel. He was dressed in a stiff dark suit, his hair meticulouslybed, holding arge bouquet of red roses. is looking at Josie with a long smile. So handsome, so spiritual. Josie''s eyes lit up and she felt as if Austin had been well-dressed at the moment. This man, what a stinker! All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. But did he deliberately go back to the makeup because he won the championship? The heart is sweet. "Congrattions on the championship." Austin walked up to Josie, a hint of nervousness shing in his smiling eyes. "Thanks." Josie said thank you and reached out to take the flowers from his hand. At that moment, there was a sudden sound of music and two people in doll clothes suddenly ran out and danced their hands at her. Josie looked a little frozen at the sudden scene and did not react for a moment. Violet, who was with Josie, raised her eyebrows slightly and hurriedly took out her cell phone to record the current scene. There is no doubt that Austin is preparing to propose to Josie! I really didn''t expect to see two simr scenes in one day. Just now David''s confession failed, so now what? Will my own BFF ept Austin''s proposal? The music came to a close and the whine sounded overhead again. In the darkness of the night, countless drones flew in the air. Sometimes a heart is formed, sometimes a line is written down. "Look, what''s that? Is that a drone?" "Yeah, it''s a drone! What does it say on it?" "Josie, I love you." "Oh my God, it''s so romantic!" The crowd of onlookers all let out a burst of gasps. Austin took a deep breath, got down on one knee and pulled out a red velvet box. "Josie, I love you, marry me." The man''s good-looking peach blossom eyes contained a smile, mixed with a hint of nervousness. Josie froze as she watched everything that suddenly happened and just felt her head go nk. Is Austin proposing to her? How could he propose to her like this without a word of greeting? She was not prepared at all! She was gambling with him two days ago and decided to break up with him! Chapter 426 Chapter 426 But now "Marry her, marry her, marry her." The ears are filled with the rhythmic shouting of the onlookers. Austin looked at Josie''s overwhelmed look and a hint of anxiety shed in his eyes. His eyes twitched and he said, "Josie, let me see your hand, is it swollen?" Josie froze and subconsciously lifted her hand. Austin took the opportunity to hold her hand and slip the ring from the velvet box onto her ring finger. "Josie, you promised." Josie: "" Did she promise him? Does someone have to talk to himself so much? Josie cried andughed as the crowd pped and cheered, not retorting back. He was a high nobleman, and she didn''t want to embarrass him in front of everyone. What''s more, she was not repulsed by him. Instead, because of him, she began to open up a little bit of that long-closed heart. Not far away. Matilda''s hand tugged tighter into a fist, staring dead at the scene, a sh of hate in her eyes. Also a woman, Josie how can love and career double sess? And she has to wag her tail at someone else? She''s not happy about it! Matilda''s eyes shed with a ghostly light, turned around and slowly pulled out her phone. After a moment of hesitation, she finally sent a message out. At the entrance of the hotel, Violet saw Austin''s sessful proposal and congratted them with a smile. "Congrattions, Mr. Evison, you''ve won a beautiful woman. Then I''ll leave you guys alone, I''ll go back first." Austin was good, and she wished her bestie eternal happiness this time. Josie was holding the flowers in her hands, and a rare trace of shyness passed over her pretty face. "Why are you so bad? Did I promise to marry you?" I''m not sure if I''m going to be able to do that. He also wants to save face, okay? Why don''t you take advantage of her hesitation totch on to her first? Josie red at him petntly and was about to speak when a message came in on Austin''s phone. Austinughed as he pulled out his phone, "Let''s go, I''ll treat you to a big meal." "Where are we going to eat? Why don''t we call Violet up." "Josie, it''s a good day, are you sure you want someone to be a lightning rod?" Austin smiled meaningfully, and then his eyes nced at the phone. His feet jerked to a halt when he saw a message on his phone. "Mr. Evison, do you remember Angle from thirteen years ago? If you want to see her,e to the west long street in front." Thirteen years ago Angle! Of course he remembers! And he''s been looking for her! "What''s wrong with you? Who sent that message?" Josie was smelling the flowers and, seeing Austin''s nervous and excited look, asked curiously. Austin''s throat rolled slightly and he turned his head to look at Josie, "Josie, I''m sorry, I have to meet someone right now, go back to your room and wait for me." He needs to find out if the person who sent him the message is Angle! Austin finished and took a big step forward. A look of anxiety. Josie opened her mouth and frowned slightly. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Why are you in such a hurry? Who is he going to see? Josie looked down and saw that it was a ck man''s wallet. It''s Austin''s wallet. This guy, he didn''t even know he dropped his wallet? Josie picked up her purse and patted the dust on it, looked at the man walking further and further away, thought about it, and followed him. She was really curious about who Austin was going to meet. Chapter 427 Chapter 427 There is a small park on this side of West Long Street. Three or two pedestrians strolled through it, revealing a touch of leisure. Austin came by the park and looked around. Which one is Angle? Pulling out his phone, he sent a message out, "Where is the person?" Tick, a message came in. "Look over towards the right, five hundred meters ahead of you on your right." Austin subconsciously looked towards the right front. There was a leafyurel tree, and underneath it, stood a girl with long, flowing hair. She stood slightly sideways, the warm yellow light spilling over her body, but making it hard to see her face. Is it her? The one he''s been looking for to save his life, Angle? Austin is suddenly a bit close to home. He approached step by step, trying to recall what he saw Angle look like back then. Unfortunately, time is too far away, he only vaguely remembers the little Angle back then with two pigtails, hair is malnourished yellow, a pair of big eyes dark and bright. Austin''s heart beat a little faster, closer, he saw the girl slowly turn sideways How is it her? Wrong person, right? Austin frowned and nced around, not seeing anyone else there. Pulling out his phone, he sent another message. "Where the hell are you?" Tic. The message sound came from the woman''s phone in front of her. Austin slowly raised his eyes and wrinkled his brow more tightly. "It''s you?" What a coincidence! The woman he''s looking for is actually Matilda? "Mr. Evison, it''s me, I''m Angle." Matilda looked at the handsome man in front of her and her heart jumped. I don''t know if it''s excitement or because of apprehension. Austin looked at her steadily, "Are you really Angle? Then tell me, what happened back then?" He asked Matilda to tell the story of the year herself. I hope she''s not impersonating someone! "Back then you were kidnapped to the mountains, that winter was very cold and it snowed heavily for days and nights. You escaped, but identally fell into a trap dug by hunters for hunting, and it was me who saved you." Matilda took a deep breath and continued, "After you were found by your family, you gave me a locking C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. piece made of gold and said you would definitelye back for me. Onlyter, you never showed up." The words once again took Austin''s mind back to that winter. She''s right. So, is she really the little girl who saved her life? Back then, his father, as apany director, sent a corrupt and bribe-takingpany executive to the police. Thepany executive had two sons, and because he could not ept such a fact, he was emboldened to find someone to kidnap him who was in junior high school, trying to use this to force his father to withdraw hisint. He managed to escape when the guards were ck, but because he was not familiar with the local terrain, he escaped into a wooded area and managed to step on a mine and fall into a trap used by hunters to round up the hunt. He spent two days and two nights in the trap, deeply wounded and dying. It was a little girl who found him and rescued him. He was so badly injured that he could not walk. The little girl then made a stretcher out of a wooden board and put him on it, ready to drag him back to the vige to the adults. Hey on that wooden stretcher and just felt her little body full of wisdom. It''s a good thing he didn''t wait to go to the vige before his family came looking for him. As his family was about to take him away, he hastily gave her the lock piece in his neck in order to thank the little girl for saving his life. He asked her what her name was. She said everyone calls her Angle. Chapter 428 Chapter 428 He told her that he woulde back for her and asked her to wait for him. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. However, when he returned, he became very ill because of an infected wound. The body burned to forty degrees and the fever would not go away. His parents sent him out of the country for treatment, which saved him from the ghost. The fever caused him to lose part of his memory. It also includes being kidnapped. It wasn''t until he was an adult, when he apanied Louis on a rock climbing trip and nearly had an ident, that he was probably stimted to recall that sealed memory. He remembered that he had made a promise to the girl named Angle. He said he would go to her. So he sent someone to find out what happened to Angle. But he didn''t know what Angle''s real name was, or where her family lived. Just like that, Angle was dyed. But I never thought I would meet her today! Austin looked at the woman in front of him with aplicated expression. "Do you still have the locking piece I sent you?" Why does Angle prefer her? Matilda, Josie seems to dislike her. "Sorry, the locking piece got lost." Matilda lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the weakness under her eyes. "Actually, I recognized it was you as soon as you appeared. I didn''t want to bother you, but I just saw that you proposed to Josie and I wanted to congratte you in person, that''s why I wanted to meet you and say congrattions to you in person." Hearing this, Austin was speechless for a moment. The person he has been trying to find is really found, but this person, but he does not know how to get along with her. Because Josie doesn''t like her. Does he have to stay away from her then? But she was his savior, and if it wasn''t for her, he probably would have died that year! He cannot be an ungrateful person. "Austin, what do you mean? Are you here to see her?" A female voice suddenly sounded behind her, with a hint of anger in her voice. Austin jerked back and saw Josie walking toward him. "Josie, what brings you here?" Austin''s eyes flickered, inexplicably not wanting Josie and Matilda to run into each other. "Do you want to keep hiding it from me if I don''te?" Josie looked at Austin with a sh of anger and disappointment at having been fooled. How could hee to see this Matilda without saying a word? Doesn''t he know that she hates Matilda? Why did you sneak in to see her? "Josie, listen to me exin, she is my life saver, we haven''t seen each other for years, that''s why we met here." Austin exined. Josie looked at Matilda and then at Austin, "She''s your rescuer?" "Yes, I only just recognized her too." Austin nodded. Josie''s red lips pursed as she looked steadily at Austin. "So what, are you going to meet with her a lot in the future? If she asks you for help with something, are you sure you won''t refuse?" She didn''t want to care if this Matilda was Austin''s savior, she just knew that she hated Matilda. She didn''t want her man to secretly meet Matilda behind her backter, like he did today! Austin looked at Josie''s delicate face and did not speak for a moment. Anyway, Matilda is his savior, if she really needs his help, he should not refuse. "Josie, you don''t have to do this, me and Austin." "You shut up, I don''t want to hear you talk." Josie coldly interrupted Matilda''s words. Matilda opened her mouth and gave Austin a somewhat resigned look, lowering her eyes slightly with a look of helplessness. Chapter 429 Chapter 429 Austin''s brow furrowed slightly, "Josie, have a word." Is this to me for her being too mean to Matilda? See, she hasn''t even done anything yet, and he''s already favoring Matilda. If she identally shes with his savior in the future, will he help Matilda clean up after herself? Josie''s chest rose and fell slightly as she lifted her chin slightly, erecting the spikes that protected her shell like a hedgehog. "Austin, if I say you''re not allowed to see her again, can you do that?" He''s not allowed to see Matilda again? Austin frowns, looks fixedly at Josie, and remains silent. "Not talking? That means you can''t do it, right?" Josie gave a light mockingugh and looked at Austin with a hint of mockery in her eyes. Austin''s brow knitted tighter. "Josie, if I can''t do this, what are you going to do?" He didn''t like the way she talked. High and mighty. Not trying to respect him at all, not putting him in his sights. "If you can''t do that, then let''s break up." Josie looked at Austin and calmly uttered the phrase. Austin''s breath hitched and a sh of irritation passed through his eyes. "Josie, think carefully before you say anything! You''re breaking up with me because of this little thing?" He had just proposed to her, and she turned around and broke up with him. The other day over Violet, she and he had a cold war and a big breakup. He can pretend she''s having a meltdown. But now, they just made up, and once again she broke up. The word "break up" is so easily said, does she love him? "Austin, what seems like a small thing to you is a big thing to me." Josie looked at Austin, "I think very clearly, I have little patience, like is like, do not like is not like. The people and things I don''t like, I want my significant other to dislike them with me. If you can''t do that, then don''t be together." She doesn''t like to drag things out. Just as she did in her first marriage. Once found unsuitable, then it will be quick and never dy. Looking at Josie''s calm, pretty face and listening to her undting tone, Austin felt nothing but disappointment. "Josie, breaking up at every turn, you actually don''t love me at all, right?" If you love one, how can you easily say the word break up? It''s also true that they haven''t known each other for much time, and he''s still stalking her. The first to tease the bitch! Josie''s heart suddenly felt like it had been pierced by pins and needles, a fine, dense pain. Does she love him? She doesn''t know. All she knew was that she didn''t want to be hurt by a man again, like she was the first time. She was afraid of the suffocating feeling of returning from a midnight dream and crying on a wet pillowcase. She can''t y with those white lotuses. "Yes, I don''t love you. austin, this ring is returned to you." Josie pushed down the sourness in her nose, took off the ring she had just put on and threw it at Austin. Ding. The ring fell to the ground, slowly rolled to the side, and finally hit a few turns and stopped turning. Josie''s vision blurred a bit as she bit her lip and quickly turned away, not looking at Austin''s expression at that moment. I guess his face must be very dark. Austin''s face was indeed ugly. He clenched his fist, suppressing the urge to go up and pull her down, the veins at the corners of his forehead jumping out. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Suddenly the proposal just felt like a big joke. Laugh at yourself like a jumping clown, jumping around on your own there. Chapter 430 Chapter 430 "Austin, I''m sorry, it''s my fault, I shouldn''t have asked you to meet me. You leave me alone, you go after Josie." Matilda had a look of remorse and her eyes were full of guilt. Austin took a deep breath and gave her a look, "It''s not your problem, don''t take it to heart. Well, I still have some things to do, I want to go first, I will contact youter." Even without Matilda, he and Josie wouldn''t have made it very far. Because she doesn''t love him at all, does she? From N?velDrama.Org. Looking at Austin''s striding away, Matilda''s mouth curled up in a winning smile. She originally thought that the rtionship between Josie and Austin would be unbreakable. I really didn''t expect the two to break up like this! So does that give her a chance to get close to Austin? The title of lifesaver really works! Violet finished watching the scene where Austin proposed to Josie and went to her room. When she exited the elevator door, she still had a smile on her face. Only when she saw the man standing in front of her room, the smile on her face slowly faded. Hendrix? Is he here to see himself? "What are you doing here?" Violet took out her room card and opened the door with a light expression. Louis'' dark eyes narrowed, clearly sensing Violet''s detachment from him. "Exin why you''re cking out my phone number?" Violet had already opened the door to the room and when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Louis. "Mr. Hendrix, do you think a divorced woman is particrly good at fooling? Give a little sunshine and it will shine? Don''t you have any idea why you were ckballed? Please don''t show up in front of me again, that''s all." Violet was angry and reached out to m the door shut. Louis held the door down with a quick eye and a deep frown. "Are you saying I''m lying to you? What exactly have I done? You tell me clearly." Had his identity been discovered by her? Impossible! There was no foreshadowing at all. Violetughed lightly when he didn''t leave, "Mr. Hendrix, you''re a good actor, you want me to make it clear? Well, look, what is this?" Violet opened her phone and tapped on the video she had inadvertently captured earlier, facing Louis. Louis looked at the phone screen suspiciously, and his eyes shed with surprise when he saw the man in the phone. That man looks exactly the same as himself now! If he did not know clearly that he had been on a business trip for the past few days, and the human skin mask had not been lost, he would have to suspect that the man in the video was himself! But the truth is that the man in the video is someone else. Or a man who looks exactly like his own human skin mask. This damn Dominic, let him make a human skin mask, how can he make such a mess? "Violet, listen to me, this is a misunderstanding, this man" Without waiting for him to finish, Violet had already quickly grabbed the phone from his hand and shut the door directly with a ping. Louis'' nose was almost touched and he unconsciously took a step back, looking at the door panel in front of him with good humor and amusement. For the first time in his life, he actually ate a closed door! It''s all the fault of unreliable idiots. Louis touched his face, pulled out his phone and turned to leave. "Where are you?" He''s going to settle a score with some dumbass. "Louis, I''m in my room!" "Room number." "Uh, Louis, did youe over to the Pce Hotel? What''s going on? What''s with the murderous tone of voice?" "Wash your neck out." "Louis, my neck is a little cold." "" Chapter 431 Chapter 431 Violet was in her room packing her bags. A little hungry, she rummaged through the snack pile and pulled out milk and bread. This was forced on her by Natalie, saying she was afraid she would be hungry in the middle of the night. Violet curled her lips and poured the milk into a ss, ready to just make do with it for dinner. When she thought of the innocent look on the man''s face just now, her heart was still a bit indignant. How can there be such a hypocritical man? Is it that most men in the world are of this virtue? Tick, the phone rings. Violet nced over and it was Josie''s call. The connection was made and Josie''s voice came over the current. "Violet, I have to go back right now, are you leaving?" Josie has to go back right away? Why so suddenly? "Josie, why are you leaving all of a sudden?" Didn''t Austin just propose to her? She thought the two of them were going to be romantic all night long! "I broke up with Austin." Violet: "" No, right? Austin just proposed sessfully, and the two broke up in the blink of an eye? "What''s going on?" Violet asked in a rush. "You know who he just went to see behind my back? He went to see Matilda and said she was his savior." Josie didn''t hold back and told Violet what had just happened. Violet''s eyebrows wrinkled slightly, only to feel that this is a bit of dogma. "What''s the coincidence that Matilda is Austin''s rescuer? When did she save him?" "I didn''t ask, and I didn''t want to ask, all I know is that Matilda is a white lotus flower and will definitely haunt Austin in the future." Josieughed to herself, "I''m sick of dealing with this kind of white woman, so I''ll just do it and break up. It seems I''m destined to be a celibate." Hearing this, Violet was a little dumbfounded. She understood what Josie was thinking. The first marriage, because of Jessie''s meddling, made Josie feel extremely uncertain about the love between men and women. Today Matilda is like a replica of Jessie, and she is afraid that one day she will get hurt again if she "Well, Violet are you leaving or not? If not, then I''ll go first." Josie asked. "Of course I''ll walk with you, wait for me to call Natalie." "Good." After hanging up the phone, Violet stayed for two seconds and sighed slightly. After calling and talking to Natalie, Natalie said she wanted to go with them. But it would have to wait for her to pack her bags. Violet hmmmed and nced at the milk on the table, ready to fill up her stomach first. She picked up the cow and took a sip. I don''t know if it''s because of her mood, but she feels a bit of acid reflux in her stomach. Violet frowned, suppressed the feeling of wanting to vomit, and put the milk aside.

I can''t marry into the Bergen family for sure!" Alisha has seen the live broadcast and has been informed of what happened. She took Nancy into her arms and quicklyforted her, "Don''t worry, Mom will find a way to get you into the Bergen family." "Oooh, I made such a big fool of myself, Mom you are not seeing how cold David is to me. His mother was also disappointed and much colder to me, how can I have any chance to marry into THE Bergen family?" Her greatest wish is to marry into the Bergen family. Originally she was confident, but now "Opportunities are created by themselves." Alisha soothed Nancy, a hint of calction shed in her eyes, "Daughter, it will be Arie''s birthday soon, don''t worry, mom will find a way to get David to marry you." Nancy straightened up and wiped away her tears to look at Alisha. Chapter 432 Chapter 432 "Mom, have youe up with anything?" Alisha hooked her lips and whispered a couple of words in her ear. Violet and Josie returned to Crotosi City. The days are quiet again. Austin did note to Josie, seemingly acquiescing to the fact that the two had broken up. Josie was quite silent and put her heart and soul into her work. Violet looked at it and sighed in her heart. Women, or engage in business toe more fragrant, otherwise it will add a lot of trouble! At the same time. In the upscale clubhouse, Marcus is hitting it off with a small Inte sensation. Because he got a partnership with Infinity Tech Company, his status in thepany instantly rose. So this time, he was in an excellent mood. As he was enjoying the woman''s feeding, his phone rang. "Mr. Scott, it''s for you." Netflix daintily handed the phone over. "Well, get it for me." Marcus ate the grapes that Netflix had fed him and spokezily. Netflix smiled delicately and connected the phone for him, cing it in his ear. "Which one is it?" "Mr. Scott, where are you? It''s bad, something big has happened." It was the assistant who called. "What''s worth all the fuss?" Marcus askedzily as he spit out the grape seeds. "Something happened to that fundpany overseas, the other party sent an email that will suspend cooperation with us and no longer provide funds." What! Marcus was startled and pushed the littleizen in his arms away, fetching his phone and sitting up straight. "When did the emaile in?" "Just now, I''ve sent the email to your phone." The assistant said in a hurry. Marcus hung up the phone and hastily clicked on his phone to check it, and he saw the email from the fundpany. The email said that the fundpany had been suppressed by several other fundpanies, and now it was unable to take care of itself and had to suspend its cooperation with the Scott Group. Suspension of cooperation! Then the funds he wants will break. Then their partnership between the Scott Group and Infinity Tech Company won''t work either! Marcus''s face alternated between blue and white, and he hastily dialed Mark''s number. "Mark, what the hell is going on here? Why is yourpany suddenly under siege by several other fundpanies when it''s fine?" "I''m sorry Mr. Scott, I didn''t want to do this either." Mark said: "My father was ill years ago, I don''t know who leaked the news that he was dying. As you know, my father is still in charge of thepany, so this news has caused a huge uproar, several rival really can''t afford to support you anymore." Hearing this, Marcus only felt a cool air running through his body. "Mark, you are also an old fundpany, you can surely survive this storm. You hurry to think of a way, C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. if you stop working with ourpany, the breach of contract you have to pay is also a considerable amount of money." It is written in the contract that if one party stops working together, then it will pay 100 million in liquidated damages. "At this point, I really can''t do anything about it. One hundred million for breach of contract is one hundred million for breach of contract, it''s better than me having to invest tens of billions to continue working with you the Scott Group. Well, I have things to do, so let''s leave it at that." Mark hung up the phone after he finished. Marcus'' face was ugly, and when he called back, he found that Mark''s phone was off. It''s over. Without Mark''s funding, how would the partnership he just won with Infinity Tech Company have gone forward? The phone rings again. Marcus rushed to pick it up and read it, still imagining it was Mark calling. Only it shows a call from an assistant. Marcus grimaced and picked up the phone. "What''s wrong again?" "Mr. Scott, it''s not good, I don''t know where the news came from that ourpany''s capital chain is broken and it''s about to go bankrupt. Now the stockholders are selling off a lot of shares of our "What!" Chapter 433 Chapter 433 Imperial Club. Louis yed with his ss of wine and watched the financial news ying on the TV, the corners of his mouth hooked. The good show that you have arranged by yourself has been staged. Marcus'' capital chain is broken, and it''s up to him to close the deal next. Little by little he will make Marcus go from full of expectations to ultimate despair! Louis poured down a mouthful of red wine, his cold face emitting a mysterious and unpredictable glow in the soft light. "Louis, still your tactics are brilliant, now you''ve fooled Marcus, worthy of being my idol of worship." Dominic moved over to Louis and smiled fawningly. Cousin is still mad at him about the human skin mask! He has to clench his tail to please the ah. Louis eyes nced at him coolly, "Less useless talk, let you check the person has a clue?" Who is the man who caused the misunderstanding between him and Violet? He had to get hold of the other party''s identity information before he had a showdown with Violet. "Can I not try my best to do what you have ordered me to do? I just found out, and I haven''t had a chance to report back to you." Dominic hurriedly took his briefcase and pulled a document out of it with a slightly odd look in his eyes. "But brother, you must not be angry when you read it. That person, and you are still a bit rted." A rtionship with him? Louis raised an eyebrow and his long fingers picked open the briefcase. When he read the contents clearly, his expression slightly stared. How can there be so much dogma in the world? That man, actually, is "I asked you guys toe and drink with me, can you stop talking about business?" Austin sat on a sofa not far away and snapped his ss on the coffee table, his handsome face flushed. Obviously too much to drink. "Austin, are you in a bad mood?" Summer was swiping her phone and saw that Austin had been drinking booze and asked a question. "That''s right, Austin, you just seeded in your proposal, shouldn''t you be springing for it?" Dominic asked curiously. "Heh, a sessful proposal? You guys don''t know, that night, we broke up." Austin huped and continued to pour himself a drink. "Huh? What''s going on here?" Dominic nced at Louis and Summer and asked what was on the minds of the three men. "Just because of a life saver, she''s breaking up with me. After all is said and done, she never loved me at all." Austin mmed a gulp of wine, and his eyes were scarlet from the stimtion of alcohol. Louis frowned, got up and walked over to Austin, who was still pouring his drink, and took the bottle away. "Stop drinking and make it clear, what life saver?" Austin slumped on the couch and vaguely rted Matilda''s story. Another dogfight. Louis'' eyes fell on the file bag on the couch, and a sneer shed in his eyes. "Louis, give me the bottle. dominic,e here, drink with me." Austin snatched the bottle out of Louis'' hand and yelled at Dominic. "Austin, you should drink less, you''re going to get drunk if you keep drinking." "How can I be drunk? I am not drunk in a thousand sses, okay?" "" Looking at Austin''s drunken appearance, Summer was silent, took out her phone and recorded a small video, then sent it to Violet. "Helena, are you and your friend together, Austin is drunk, does she want toe and see?" In the apartment. Violet is discussing with Josie about the store opening tomorrow. Her counter at Sky Shopping Mall has been renovated and is ready for trial opening tomorrow. And Josie''s Haute Couture Studio is ready to go. So they decided to merge two families into one and do the promotion together tomorrow. Hearing a messageing from her phone, Violet picked it up and nced at it, her almond eyes blinking. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. She looked aside at Josie, handed her phone over, and tapped on the video. Chapter 434 Chapter 434 "Josie, Austin is drinking too much at the clubhouse." The sound of Austin''s drunken yelling came over the phone, and Josie unconsciously nced at the phone screen. In the dim light, the man ignored the bystanders and picked up the bottle and blew into his mouth. In her eyes, Austin has always been a calm and restrained nobleman. And now, total drunks. Josie''s fingers curled slightly as she got up and headed for the bedroom. "Violet, I''m tired and want to go to bed first, you should go to bed early too, you have a busy day tomorrow." She has broken up with him. What he has be now is none of her business. The bedroom door pinged shut, and Violet shook her head with a slight mental sigh. It seems that Josie is determined not to get back together with Austin? Inexplicably feel a little pity ah. Violet picks up her phone and sends a message back to Summer. "Sorry Summer, Josie she''s asleep." All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Already sleeping? Is it true that you are sleeping, or do you not want toe? Summer put the phone down and looked at the drunken Austin with some sympathy. "Austin, you do want to stay drunk today?" Louis saw Austin still pouring wine into his mouth and asked in a light voice. Austin''s eyes are misty and he exhales a mouth full of alcohol. Louis got up and looked at him condescendingly, "The people below reported to me that Violet will hold a joint event with Josie tomorrow, it seems that you don''t want to go to the show?" Hearing this, Austin looked at Louis for two seconds in awe. Seeing that he was leaving, he got up shakily in a hurry. "She doesn''t even care, so why should I go?" "Oh, go ahead and drink, then." "I don''t! I''m a man, who am I to be at her mercy?" The following day. Sky Shopping Mall. The makeup counter on the first floor is very busy. Eight makeup artists in ck uniforms were enthusiastically handing out brochures to people passing by. There are three or four other makeup artists in the counter, who are applying makeup for customers. Violet and Josie were standing on the sidelines, chatting with a few of the mall''s executives about the model walk in a few minutes. The models, both male and female, will be dressed in Josie''s custom-made outfits and will be made up by Violet''s make-up artist for the show. This promoted not only Josie''s studio, but also Violet''s makeup counter. Two things in one. With twenty minutes to go before the show starts, Violet and Josie''s faces are both a bit expectant. At that moment, there was amotion not far away. A group of people came towards the makeup counter. "Yah, it''s Mr. Johnson here." A few supervisors who were chatting with Violet were startled and rushed to meet them. Violet froze and looked towards a line of people not far away, and saw several managers from the mall, apanied by Louis, walking this way. Louis was apanied by Austin. Both men were wearing dark suits, and the look of the trees attracted the sideways nces of passers- by. How did these two big Buddhase to the mall? Don''t tell her that they are here to support the show, right? Violet subconsciously nced at Josie. Josie also saw Louis and Austin, and the smile on her face was slightly curtailed for a few moments, and her expression was calm. "Both of you, congrattions on the grand opening." Louis stood in front of Violet with a deep frown. To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Hendrix''s identity cannot be moved now. Only his own father can appear. Chapter 435 Chapter 435 "Thanks." Violet smiled slightly towards the two, polite and detached. "Josie, congrattions." Austin kept looking at Josie, and seeing that she was oblivious to her, coughed lightly and said congrattions. "Thanks." Josie ruffled her hair around her ears and, without looking at him, said to Violet, "I''ll go see if the models are ready." With that, Josie turned around and left. Austin watched her back steadily, his thin lips pursed. Violet sighed darkly and greeted the two, "That, the event will start soon, you guys make yourselves "Hmm." Louis returned an umph in a light voice. Violet nodded with him and was about to leave when there was a sudden tightness in her chest. The acid in my stomach seemed to be churning upwards uncontrobly. Violet blushed slightly, walked quickly to the side, took a few deep breaths to suppress the feeling of wanting to vomit. "What''s wrong with you? You look so bad?" Louis saw a different look on Violet''s face and asked. She also wondered what was wrong with her. It seems that she has been having nausea and regurgitation all this time. Did she miss any information? Something shed through Violet''s mind and her heart suddenly stuttered. She should not "Miss Helena, a model seems to be sick and needs to be taken to the hospital immediately." Natalie hurries in and whispers in Violet''s ear. "How did this happen? Go, go take a look." Violet returned to her senses and temporarily put her physical condition aside. "Good." Natalie leads Violet towards the backstage. Behind him, Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly, signaling that the people in the mall no longer needed to apany him, and he himself followed him to the backstage. Austin was a close second. Backstage, when Violet arrived, she saw a male model with a pale face, resting against a chair with a frown on his face. "What''s going on here?" Josie also just arrived and hurriedly asked. "Sorry Miss Scott, just now Montgomery vomited and diarrhea, I''m afraid he can no longer walk the show, we have to take him to the hospital immediately." The agent of the model team was apologetic. "Then why don''t you take him to the hospital quickly?" Josie''s brow furrowed as she spoke. "Good." The agent hurriedly asked two models to help take Montgomery out. "Josie, what happens now that there''s one less model?" Violet inquired as she watched Montgomery being helped out. "Then we''ll just have to show one less set." Josie was a little helpless. "But Miss Scott, the outfit that Montgomery showed was your favorite and the one that was made with the most care and attention to the finished product, and with one missing, the whole show was out of rhythm." Josie''s assistant Ai had a worried look on her face. Josie also knew that Ai was right, but there was nothing she could do with one less model. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. "Josie, there''s less than twenty minutes left, so why don''t we find a new model to rece Montgomery." Violet thought about it and suggested. It doesn''t matter if she has one more or one less model, but it''s important to Josie. Got to make today''s opening show a sess. Josie''s eyes lit up, but she quickly frowned, "How can you just say you''re looking for a model?" "When ites down to it, you can''t count too much, just find a roadie who is about the same height as Montgomery to y." Violet intends to go looking for someone and nces back to see Louis and Austin. These two people are the clothes rack, but "Looking for a model? How about letting me try." Austin witnessed what was going on and was ready to step up to the te. If it was usual, of course he would not do such a drop in price. But he and Josie are having a breakup, so if he does her a favor today, will shee around? Chapter 436 Chapter 436 "Mr. Evison are you really willing to model?" All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Violet begged to differ and confirmed again. Austin nodded and was about to speak, but Josie said, "Mr. Evison has a distinguished status, my temple is small, I''m afraid I can''t afford to invite. violet, I''ll go outside and see if there is a suitable passerby." Her face was calm, without any semnce of gambling in it. Austin''s face was a little hard to read. Twice he bowed his head and begged for peace, but it was a hot face on a cold ass. Seeing Josie about to leave, he yanked her by the arm and pulled her hard toward the safety channel. "Austin, you let go." Josie called out. Austin didn''t say anything, and the force in his hands didn''t decrease by half. Violet watched the two leave, somewhat anxiously. It''s getting close to the time of the walk. Who exactly do you look for as a model? Violet looked around to see who met the criteria. On the side, Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly and he stood up slightly straight. He should be in good shape, right? Does someone want to ask for his help? "Violet" "Ah? Mr. Johnson, wait a minute, I have something to do now." Without waiting for Louis to finish, Violet rushed in one direction. Louis'' face sank. Because he saw Violet standing in front of a man and was gesturing something with the man. Is this woman trying to get that man to be her model? Scenes of Violet helping herself to fix her makeup several times shed in her mind. Wait, is she going to get close to the male model and help him with his makeup too? Not cool! In the front, Violet asked the man for help with a sincere face. The man looked in good shape and was obviously quite interested in Violet''s offer. He thought about it and nodded, "Yes, but I''m not trained as a model, so I don''t know if I''m up to it." "It''s okay it''s okay, when you get on stageter, you just walk like you normally do." Violet said in a rush. Just now she watched, this man walking frame is quite tasteful. As long as he''s not nervous, just walk the stage the way he usually walks. "All right then." The man smiles and prepares to go with Violet to get ready. At that moment, Louis'' voice rang out, "Violet, there''s no need to bother anyone else, there''s already a model." Violet froze and looked back at him with a sh of surprise in her eyes. "Found the model? Where is it?" "It''s far away and close to home." In sight? Violet subconsciously nced from side to side, then fixed her eyes on his face. "Mr. Johnson, when you say model, you don''t mean yourself, do you?" "I''m not qualified?" Louis raised his sword eyebrows and asked a rhetorical question. Good enough, too good enough! President Louis came on to model for her makeup studio in person, which was a great honor for her. Just "Well, Mr. Johnson, our store is small." "Violet, it''s almost time for the show, are you sure you want to continue the conversation?" Louis''s dark eyes narrowed and a hint of displeasure shed in his eyes. This woman, dare to follow Josie''s example and try to hit him in the face in public? "Ah! Mr. Johnson, our store is small, I''m afraid the appearance fee given will not be too high, but my hand is good, I will definitely make you into the absolute first ever beautiful man." Violet finished in one breath, and regardless of whether Louis agreed or disagreed, she pulled him and pressed him into the makeup chair. Louis lost his smile. This woman, is quite good at sticking it to her face! Chapter 437 Chapter 437 In the safe passage. Josie shook off Austin''s hand and rubbed her sore wrist, saying angrily, "Austin, what the hell do you want?" Austin watched her blow up and pushed her against the wall with one hand. "That should be my question to you! Josie, have you made enough of this? Just for a Matilda, you All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. really want to break up with me?" The man braced himself against the wall with one hand, held her shoulders with the other, and circled her in his arms. Josie pushed back against his chest and red at him, "Austin, I didn''t make a scene. I made it very clear to you that you were the one who chose your rescuer and you were the one who pushed me away!" She asked him to choose between saving his life and her. It was he who chose the former, wasn''t it? "Josie, can you be reasonable, Matilda is my savior, if she is in trouble, I will definitely help, because one cannot be ungrateful, right? Or do you expect me to be a cold-blooded person?" Austin looks at Josie and tries to reason with her. Josie looked away, "Yes, I''m a brutal person. I can put up with anyone, but not Matilda. I just don''t want my man to have any dealings with Matilda. If you can''t do that, then there''s nothing to say." The woman''s face is stubborn and there is nopromise in it. Austin only felt the depression in his heart. Thanks to his low voice to her, but people simply indifferent. She really does not love herself. If you love him, how can you notpromise? Austin''s grip on her shoulder slowly loosened. Josie took the opportunity to push him out of the way and sprinted quickly out of the security channel. The throat is like blocked by cotton, sore and swollen. Josie bit her lip and raised her eyes to take a deep breath to keep her tears from falling. She doesn''t want to be in a rtionship anymore. Just let him think she''s a brutal person. In the makeup chair, Violet finished fixing Louis'' eyebrows and wondered if she should put some powder on him. But someone''s face and skin tone are so good that they really don''t need much grooming. "Okay?" Louis looked at Violet''s pensive look and asked in a low voice. "Wait a little longer, let me put some lip color on your lips." His lips were bloodshot but still a little lighter if he was on stage. The rest of the body can be left unmade up, just work on his lip color. Violet stopped in front of a row of lipsticks and then picked up a lipstick. "Are you sure you want to put lipstick on me?" Louis looked at the lipstick on her hand, then at her red lips, and spoke. "What''s wrong?" Violet unscrewed her lipstick and asked. "Put it on your lips first so I can see the effect." Louis said absently. And you want to see the results? But this Buddha is rare to make a request. He should be satisfied. Violet lost her smile and colored in her lips. "How''s that? This is a good color, right?" Violet pursed her red lips and asked with a smile. "Yes." Louis raised his sword eyebrows slightly, signaling that she was ready to color. Violet curved the corners of her lips and colored his. The woman''s unique scent once again lingers in the nose, Louis feels the gentle movement of his lips, his eyebrows deep. "Violet, you really don''t seem to treat me like an outsider when you put on my makeup with your own lipstick." Louis watched Violet put away her lipstick and burst out slowly. Violet: "" Someone should not horseback ah? Why didn''t you say so just now? No, why did she think he was doing it on purpose? Deliberately let her try on makeup first and then apply it for him? The lipstick was freshly opened and only the two of them had used it. It''s the same as a man and a woman drinking a ss of water at the same time. Indirect kissing? Someone, don''t be so childish! Violet''s ears got a little hot and was about to say something when her chest got tight again. Chapter 438 Chapter 438 Her face changed slightly, and she swallowed quickly to swallow the feeling of wanting to vomit. Not right. It''s so wrong. When the event is over, she must go to the hospital to have it checked out. "Violet, you got Mr. Johnson to model?" Josie walked over and saw Louis sitting in the make-up chair with a sh of surprise in her eyes. Violet barely suppressed the unpleasant feeling in her stomach and smiled towards her. "Well, Josie, I''ve finished fixing Mr. Johnson''s grooming, so you can take him to change his clothes." "Oh, good." Josie responded and looked to Louis, "Mr. Johnson, thank you so much really, please follow me." Louis looked at Violet and saw that she didn''t look too good and asked with concern, "Are you okay? Why do you look so bad?" "It''s okay, it''s probably theck of air cirction here, it''ll be fine in a minute." Violet acted as if nothing had happened. Louis gave her another look and then went to change with Josie. The smile on Violet''s face faded. She reached up and covered her chest, her eyebrows knitted together. Too careless, her aunt hadn''te for like two months. She was too busy during this time, and her period had not been very urate after giving birth, so she was not concerned about the absence of her period. If it''s really pregnant, wouldn''t the baby be that Hendrix''s? How did this oops happen? Violet was distracted. Her stomach churned again, and she hugged the trash can with a dry heave. "Miss Helena, what''s wrong with you?" Nataliees over to Violet and sees her suddenly hugging a trash can and dry heaving with a worried look on her face. "It''s okay, I''ll go out to get some air before Ie back in." Violet didn''t throw up anything, she forced a smile and headed outside. Natalie watched her back, pondering. What''s going on with Miss Helena? Ever since she came back from the costume designpetition, her appetite has not been good. Is dry heaving and pangs of nausea an upset stomach? Or... Natalie thought of something and blushed slightly. Outside, Violet took a few breaths of fresh air before she felt a little morefortable inside. At that moment, the voice of the host came from the makeshift stage of the mall. The catwalk is about to open. Violet swallowed, took a few deep breaths again, and went back to the mall. After some introductory remarks by the host, the walk began. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. One by one, the models came out from the backstage wearing the clothes made by Josie herself. With the sound of music, it gives people a bright feeling. Violet watched quietly and lit up at the sight of thest male model to appear. The man wore a silver half mask, a white casual suit, and a ck dress on his head. Much like the noble princes of ancient Silesia. That walking look is more like walking hormones. Sexy and mysterious. This person is Violet looked at him steadily, saw his thin, bare, sensual lips, and recognized him as Louis. He actually wore a silver mask! Is it to highlight the red lips she painted for him? Violet curled her fingers and saw him look slightly sideways, like he was looking for something. His eyes met hers, he hooked his lips slightly and suddenly tossed his bowler hat in her direction. "Wow, what a handsome male model! He''s looking at me, the hat is mine!" "Bollocks! He''s obviously looking at me! My hat!" "Mine, it''s mine!" The crowd was in an uproar, and there was a lot of astonishment and praise. A few girls gathered around screamed loudly, fighting over the hat Louis threw at them. Violet watched the scene with dismay and a bit ofughter. This man, if the future does not do the president, can develop a second career ah! Chapter 439 Chapter 439 A show is instantlypleted. Backstage, Josie excitedly thanked Louis. "Mr. Johnson, you are really too charming. Because of your mysterious appearance, the orders are beyond my budget." Louis raised his eyebrows and looked at Violet with a rather smug look. As the president, he personally relieved her, he should be very touched! "Mr. Johnson, once again, I say thank you." Violet smiled slightly, then looked at Josie, "Josie, I have something to do, I have to go first, I''ll leave All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. the closing work to you." Her heart was hanging there, and she had to go to the hospital right away. "Violet, where are you going?" Josie asked with some surprise. "I''ll talk to you when I get back." Violet is in a hurry. Louis'' dark eyes narrowed as he watched Violet''s back with some displeasure. He hase down to solve a big problem for her, and she just lightly thanked him? It''s so insincere! What the hell is she up to? Violet drove to the hospital. After a quick examination, she heard the news she least expected to hear. She''s really pregnant! How can she be pregnant? Violet''s face nched a little, chagrined by her own casualness and carelessness. How can she just sleep with a man? What''s more, after going to bed, how can you forget to take your medication? How nervous she is! Violet returned to the store disoriented and unmotivated to work. A long, white hand brushed the small of her back as she thought of the man named Hendrix. That man is a scumbag. But she is pregnant with the child of the scum! If the man was an honest and pure man, for the sake of the child in her belly, perhaps she would have chosen to marry him and give the child a sound family. But he is a scum! Violet had a headache and was indecisive. Is she going to be an unwed mother again? The phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. Violet took her phone and nced at it; it was Josie calling. "Josie." "Violet, I''ve all wrapped up this side of the mall, where are you now?" "I''m going back to the store." Violet leaned back in her chair and sighed. Josie heard the annoyance in Violet''s tone and asked, "Violet, where were you just now? Did something happen?" Hearing this, Violet was silent and did not hide. "Josie, I have some sad news for you, I''m pregnant again." There was two seconds of silence in the current, followed by Josie''s shock, "What, you''re pregnant again? Is that baby that Hendrix''s?" "Yes." Violet pinched her inmed temples. "So what are you going to do now? Going to stay with that Hendrix?" "No way, he''s a scumbag." Violet cut to the chase. "Huh? No way!" Josie was shocked again. Although Violet didn''t say the specifics, she knew in her heart that that Hendrix must have done something to make Violet say that about him. "In that case, Violet, why don''t you do what you did four years ago and have the baby and raise it alone? But I''m just afraid that that Hendrix wille and mess with you when he learns that the baby is his." Hearing Josie''s suggestion, Violet let out another sigh. She actually thought about getting rid of the baby because she had one daughter and that was enough. But the walls of her uterus are thin, and she is not willing to give up the little life in her belly. It''s not a bad thing to have a brother or sister out to keep your daughterpany. But like Josie said, what if the man learns that the baby is his, will hee and steal it from her? "Josie, just let me think about it again." Chapter 440 Chapter 440 Violet''s mind was a bit scrambled, and she hung up after saying so. At the other end of the phone, Josie looked at the cked out screen, her good-looking eyebrows knitted together. mentally cursed Austin again with a face of indignation. It''s all because of damn Austin that my bestie got pregnant! All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Men are really big pigs'' feet. She should not have been fooled by Austin''s appearance and agreed to be his girlfriend in the first ce! "Josie, are you on the phone with Miss Helena?" Natalie''s voice suddenly came from behind her. Josie was cursing Austin and was startled to hear her speak in a hushed voice. "It''s Natalie, you scared the hell out of me." Josie pped her chest and took a long breath. Natalie squeezed out a smile, "Josie, the event hasn''t ended yet, and Miss Helena suddenly left, did something happen?" Josie gave her a look, eyes shing slightly: "It''s okay, don''t worry about it, go to work." Violet''s pregnancy has to be kept a secret for now. Josie walked away quickly, not seeing a sh of anger in Natalie''s eyes. She heard it all! Miss Helena is pregnant! And the baby is the man''s! How could she be pregnant with another man''s child? The man in question is Louis! Once Louis knows that Miss Helena is pregnant with his child, will the two of them get remarried right away! No way! the Scott Group. Marcus is already busy to the point of being burnt out. Mark''s overseas fundpany withdrew its capital and he had to look for other investors again. But the capital he needed was huge, and he looked for several in vain. If a new investor is not found, then his partnership with Infinity Tech Company will have to be discontinued. If the partnership is discontinued, the Scott Group will lose a lot of money because of the broken capital chain! Deacon scolded him and ordered him to think of something quickly. If he doesn''t solve the problem, then his father will expel him from the board. Once he was expelled from the board, the future head of the Scott family would, of course, be Brooklyn. How could he have seen this happen? Marcus was distracted, barely able to steady his mind and think of a way out. The way to go today is to find a strong investor. And right now, the group that can help him solve the crisis the most should be The Johnson Group! Thinking of something, Marcus brightened up. This time he was really too anxious how to neglect a person. Isn''t Jasmine pregnant? Didn''t she say she wanted to marry him? As long as he is married to her, will The Johnson Group not help him get through this difficult time? Marcus suddenlyughed at the thought. He was really far-sighted and prepared early on to keep that stupid bitch Jasmine firmly in his grasp. Marcus hooked his lips and pulled out his cell phone to call Jasmine. "Jasmine, didn''t you say you''d marry me? As soon as you can convince your father to invest in my project, we''ll get married right away." On the other end of the phone, Jasmine is bored with fruit and brushing up on the news. She, of course, knew that something was wrong with the Scott Group''s new project. She was about to offer her condolences to Marcus. I didn''t expect Marcus to throw himself at him first. "Really?" "Of course it''s true, our two families are married, and the project can make money together." "Okay, I''ll talk to my dad about it tonight, Marcus, just wait for my good news." Jasmine was so happy that she hung up the phone and went to find Rosalie. By the time the evening came, Louis was called back to the Johnson Manor for dinner. Chapter 441 Chapter 441 "Dad, calling me back in a hurry for something?" Louis entered the Johnson Manor, said hello to Maria, touched Luka''s head, and asked in a soft voice. He didn''t see Rosalie or Jasmine, but he probably knew what his father had called him back for. It''s just that Marcus was desperate and remembered to use Jasmine. "You''reing with me to the study." Leon''s face was unpleasant and he took the lead and went to his study. Louis went upstairs as he was told. Once inside, Leon said coldly, "Your sister is pregnant, she says the baby is Marcus'' and wants the Scott family and the Johnson family to join together." What do you think? He was thest to know about Jasmine''s pregnancy. Previously Jasmine had said she wanted to marry Marcus, but he vetoed it. But now that his daughter is pregnant with Marcus''s child, he has no reason to object. But now that his son is in charge of The Johnson Group, of course he has to listen to his son''s advice. "Then let''s join the marriage." Louis was no nonsense and spoke directly. Leon nced at him with a sh of surprise in his eyes. "You agree?" Knowing that the Scott family and the Johnson family have never been on the same page, he thought his son would be against it to the end. "Dad, Jasmine is not my daughter, she can marry whoever she likes, I have no right to interfere." Louis raised an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth hooked in a smirk. Leon looked at him and only felt that he was more and more impervious to this son. Too dark, too deep, more than he ever had in his youth. "Jasmine said that Marcus had a problem with a new project, and Marcus meant that the marriage would be apanied by an injection of capital from us, THE Johnson family, and that the two would work together with Infinity Tech Company in the future." Leon continues to talk about business. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Louis hooked his lips, "That''s a good thing, but only if we dominate this project." He could have taken the opportunity to make the Scott Group pay a bigger price. But he didn''t want to do that. Killing people to death, the Scott Group and The Johnson Group for now, only Marcus has been working against himself. What he wants is for Marcus to get his own way. Didn''t Marcus always want the session and wanted to annex The Johnson Group? He thought he could achieve this by using Jasmine? He will pay the price for his childish behavior. "Okay, then it''s decided." Leon nodded, "Let''s meet tomorrow between our two families." "Good." Louis readily responded, "That''s fine I''ll go first." The first thing you need to do is to take care of your personal business, Louis. Hearing this, Louis''s feet pause slightly, but did not turn around. "I''m in charge of myself." The detachment is as it always has been. Leon watched as the door was closed and sighed. The rtionship between himself and his son is less like father and son and more like a king and subject. He knew that his son had been ming him. me him for negatively affecting his own mother. But in the gentry, sometimes it''s really out of your hands. Outside. Louis went down to the first floor where Maria was sitting with Luka on the couch ying. Seeing Louise down, Maria nced at him in a bad light. Louis was amused by the fact that his grandmother had been ignoring him since thest time he brought Grace back to the Johnson Manor. It''s been more than two months, and the olddy''s heart is still angry. "Grandma, it''s gettingte, why don''t I help you go back inside and rest?" Maria grunted coldly and rose to her own feet, not bothering him. Louis was helpless and took her in his arms and said softly, "Okay, Grandma, don''t be angry with me anymore, okay? I promise you, I will help you get your previous grandson-inw back again!" Hearing this, Maria paused in her steps and looked at him with some suspicion. "Are you serious? Not coaxing me?" "Really, it''s more real than real gold." Louisughed. Chapter 442 Chapter 442 Maria snorted coldly, "You''re finally getting the hang of it. I''m telling you, if you don''t get Violet back to me, don''t expect me to give you a good look in the future." "Yes yes, can we get some rest now?" "Hmph, so tell me, when are you going to get Violet back?" "This, Grandma, you know, Violet she is stubborn, allow me to take more time." "Hmph, you''re such a big guy, howe you''re so useless?" "" Is he useless? Obviously he should not be too well-fed outside. It''s someone who is too unattractive. Louis bellyached, listened to Maria''s count, and helped her into the room to settle in. Out of the room, another small one ran by the foot. Louis looked into his son''s big dark eyes and reached out to pick him up. "Why aren''t you sleeping? Do you want to count your father like your great-grandmother?" What a creation, the big ones and the small ones don''t take him seriously. Luka''s little brow furrowed, "Dad, did your alter ego work on Auntie Violet?" Louis stroked his little head and carried him towards the children''s room. "Be at ease and trust your father''s charm." Although someone has misunderstood him now, he will soon clear up the misunderstanding with her. He would make her chagrined and angry with him. "Is Daddy charming? If it was charming, Auntie Violet wouldn''t not want you." Luka skimmed her lips and struck someone mercilessly. Louis tucked him under the covers and scratched his little nose. "Little thing, you are still young and don''t understand what happens between adults. A smooth rtionship is not easy to cherish, and you will see the rainbow only after the storm. Understand?" Luka looked at her dad with a sense of understanding. He thought, "He doesn''t want to understand all that philosophy, he just wants to see Auntie Violet every day. It would be nice to eat Auntie Violet''s delicious cooking every day. The following day. Violet hadn''t slept through the night because of her pregnancy. After washing up my daughter with two panda eyes, I got ready to send her to school. Come downstairs, far away, you can see a ck car parked on the side of the road. The man''s long figure leaned in front of the car, a pair of ck ultra covered half of his handsome face. The morning sunlight sprinkled on his body, giving him a soft glow all over. Why is he here? This scum. Violet''s face stinks a little and she averts her eyes with a cold face. Louis, who was wearing a human skin mask at this point, saw Violet and her daughtering downstairs and took off his sses. "Huh, it''s Uncle Hendrix!" Erin fixed her eyes on Louis and immediately recognized him, and immediately called out to him cheerfully, "Uncle Hendrix." The girl doll''s voice is thin and soft, and it''s extrafortable to listen to. Louis hooked his lips and took a big step forward, picking Erin up in his arms. "Erin, long time no see, ever miss Uncle Hendrix?" "Well, think about it." Erin, being a good and honest boy, nodded her head. "So good, uncle brought you a present." Louis stroked the little guy''s head and walked towards the car. "What kind of gift is it?" "It''s a Barbie doll." "Wow, I like Barbie the best." "" Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Watching the man coax his daughter away in three tries, Violet was furious. She was tempted to pull a face and scold the man in front of her straight away. But in front of her children, she can''t lose her temper and make her daughter think she is a mother with poor self-control. Taking a deep breath, she said nothing, but got into his car. She thought she would have a good talk with him when she finished dropping off her daughter. Chapter 443 Chapter 443 The car drove slowly, Louis acted as the driver and did not mind. After all, it''s good enough that Violet didn''t blow him away in the first ce. Along the way, he listened to the little one rattling off a call, the atmosphere in the car was not dull. Soon we were in front of the school. Louis pulls over and tries to hug Erin. Violet had already carried her daughter out of the car and headed for the kindergarten door. It seems she is nearing the end of her patience. Louisughed lightly and didn''t mind, following her slowly. "Auntie Violet." Luka also arrived, and saw Violet and lit up. Violet put her daughter down, smiled and chatted with Luka for a few minutes. The little guy didn''t even give himself a look the whole time, only Violet in his eyes. Sure enough, they are pro-life. Louis raised his eyebrows and looked at his own son''s heart and ndered a sentence. "Okay, you guys, get in there." Violet stroked Luka''s little head and gestured for him and Erin to go inside. "Bye Auntie Violet." Luka said hello to Violet, looked at Louis again, and his big dark eyes shed, then took Erin''s hand and went into the nursery. The heart secretly adds up for the old father of the family. When the two children finally entered the nursery, Violet looked over at Louis and the smile on her face narrowed. "Mr. Hendrix, I thought I made it very clear to you. We are all adults, don''t stalk if it''s not appropriate. I hope you won''t show up again, or I won''t give you face like I did today." Violet''s tone was a little cold, and she was ready to stop the car and leave after she finished. Louis took her by the arm andughed softly, "Still angry?" The man looked unimpressed. Violet shrugged him off, her eyebrows knitted together, "Mr. Hendrix, please behave yourself, I am not a casual woman, you make me feel sick." What does he take her for? Is it because she thinks she is divorced and therefore has little self-respect to speak of? For his scum behavior will turn a blind eye to ah? Other divorced women she does not know, she only knows that she can not be a love brain! Louis heard the word disgusting, and the smile on his face faded a few points. "Violet, what if I said it was just a misunderstanding?" No matter what, she is not so disgusted with him, right? This woman, speaks so chokingly. "Misunderstand what?" Violetughed lightly in mockery, "Mr. Hendrix, you don''t have to be sophomoric, my eyes are not blind." Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. She has the video in hand, and now he is still attempting to defend himself? "Well, not only are your eyes not blind, they''re bright, but it''s just a rare asion when you look away. Probably because anger has made you lose your mind. Enough to see that you do care about me right." Louis'' mouth is hooked in a usible smile and a joke. Violet was speechless, and when she saw a taxi arrive, she waved and didn''t bother with him. "That man is not me at all." Louis spoke up before Violet was about to get in the car, "He''s Louis'' half-brother." Violet paused in her movement to get into the car and jerked her head back to look at him. "You''re kidding, right?" That guy is Louis'' half-brother? Why is she so unbelieving? "I''m not kidding." Louis looked at Violet with a natural look, "To clear my name, I purposely had a private investigator look into it." Yes, the man in the video that Violet captured is indeed his half-brother. His good father, who hid his mistress and children from everyone for more than 20 years, was really tight. Violet stared at Louis nkly, not responding for a moment. The taxi driver, impatient, poked his head out and asked, "Are you still getting on?" Chapter 444 Chapter 444 "I''m sorry." Louis pulled Violet away as soon as he could and mmed the car door shut. The taxi driver had a displeased look on his face as the car swooshed out of the way. Louis pulls Violet towards his car. Violet snapped back to her senses, her eyebrows knitted, "You didn''t lie to me?" "No." Louis pulled open the door and pushed Violet into the passengerpartment. "Okay, you said you got a private detective, so please show me the information you got from your investigation." Is there such a coincidence? That man is actually Louis'' half-brother, and he looks exactly like this Hendrix? Louis gave her a look, bullying his way over to fasten her seat belt for her. Then sat up straight and started the car. The car drove out and Violet''s brow knitted tighter when she saw that the route she was driving was not the route back to her store. "You''re lying to me, right? Where are you taking me? Stop the car, you let me out." "The information is in the car pocket, get it yourself." Louis spoke up, "Don''t you believe it? I''ll let you see the truth with your own eyes." Hearing this, Violet faintly froze and gave him a somewhat skeptical look. She then opened the car pocket anyway and saw that there was indeed a file folder lying inside. Violet hesitated for a moment and held out the paper bag. Inside is a man''s profile. It clearly records his details from birth to the present day. Violet''s red lips were pursed as she looked at the man in the photo, who indeed had a face identical to Hendrix''s. It was the man she saw that day. How could such a coincidence happen? Violet slowly looked down. Man named Zack, 24 years old, in graduate school, grew up living with his mother, biological father is unknown This information also included a photo of Zack''s mother. The look is very dignified, can be seen, when young must be a beauty embryo. Today she runs an upscale cafe at the Pce Hotel and is doing well. Violet slowly looked through the information, which was apanied by several photos. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. It is the scene where Leon goes to the cafe to meet with Zack''s mother and son. Everything proves that ''Hendrix'' is not lying. There really is a man in the world who looks exactly like him. She was the one who misjudged him. He''s not a scumbag. Violet pursed her lips and looked at the road shape in front of her and realized that this was the way to the Pce Hotel. So, he was afraid she wouldn''t believe him yet, so he took her to the Pce Hotel so she could witness Zack''s presence? Violet was a little sarcastic and gave him a sideways nce without speaking. She also did not expect such a coincidence in the world. How do these two faces look so much alike? So Zack is the Johnson family''s illegitimate son, what about this Mr. Hendrix? Could it be the same! Ahem, see what she''s thinking about? There are many simr-looking people in the world. She was the one who made too much of a fuss. Of course, she still didn''t think she had been tricked by some dark man. Someone''s face now is not his real face! "Believe me yet?" Louis raised an eyebrow and gave Violet a sideways nce. Violet licked her somewhat dry lips and dropped her eyes slightly to the small of her back. If this man is not a scum bag, then is she going to tell him about her pregnancy? Chapter 445 Chapter 445 After driving for over an hour, wefinally arrived at the Pce Hotel. Violet looked at the church not far away and was a bit puzzled. "What did you bring me here for?" This is the junction of the Pce Hotel and Crotosi City, with a church known far and wide. There is a steady stream of congregants every day. "I thought I said I was going to bring you to see the truth." Louis parked his car and got out. The truth? Is that Zack here? Violet, with a suspicious look on her face, followed and got out of the car. With a slight sideways nce, I saw that ''Hendrix'' was wearing a silver mask on his face. How does this mask look so familiar? The scene from yesterday when Louis was walking in the show shed in my mind. It seems that Louis is wearing the same mask that Hendrix is wearing now? Violet''s almond eyes shed and she unconsciously nced again at the man beside her. The man is tall and leggy, a total clothes rack. He walks with the samestance and aura as Louis. If he didn''t say he was Hendrix, she would almost think that he was Louis! "Spying on me? Now do you think I''m handsome? You can just look at it openly, I don''t mind." Louis noticed Violet''s peeking and teased. Violet''s face heated up slightly and she hurriedly averted her eyes. Already had a fiasco, she can no longer be imaginative, suspicious of this and that. This is Hendrix. What is she doing with Louis? "When did I spy on you? I''m just wondering why you''re wearing a mask?" Violet haphazardly found a topic to cover up her embarrassment. "I don''t want people to see my face for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings. After all, I look a lot like Zack, don''t I?" Louis raised an eyebrow, looked at the steps up the hill, and extended his hand towards Violet, "Come on, go over and see for yourself." Violet took one look at his bony hand and again had the illusion that it was Louis'' hand. She hurriedly shook off the thought, "I can walk by myself." Still won''t let yourself hold hands? Louis slowly withdrew his hand and calmly followed her. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Sooner orter, he will be allowed to hold hands. The two walked towards the church, one after the other. Violet looked at the lush green trees on both sides and was inexplicably relieved. It was as if a piece of heartache was removed and the world became a better ce. So she still cares about this Hendrix. Of course, no one wants the child''s father to be a scumbag. Child. Violet nced down at the small of her back, her red lips pursed. Wait a little longer. She didn''t know much about this Hendrix. Wait a while to see, if this Hendrix is really still good, then she will confess with him. "Zack''s mother is a devout churchgoer andes here every week to pray and stay around the church for two days, volunteering at the church. zack will also apany his mother. We''ll see themter." Louis'' low voice came from behind him. Zack, mother and son, are here now. Violet looked back at Louis and said, "You checked it out pretty well." Louisughed lightly, "No way, in order to catch up with his girlfriend, only the full force of the investigation." Recovering his girlfriend, Violet thought of his momentary anger, directly pulling the person, could not help but snapped a smile. Louis'' voice came from behind him, "Violet, are you still angry now? If it''s over, can you release my number from the cklist now?" Violet straightened her hair around her ears and pressed a smile to the corners of her mouth. "There''s no rush." "You are not in a hurry, I am in a hurry!" Louis took two steps forward and one step back, walking side by side with Violet. Chapter 446 Chapter 446 "Where''s the phone? Bring it!" Violet gave him a look and pulled out her phone anyway. Louis took the phone, asked for her boot code, then opened it and put his number out of the cklist. "Okay." Satisfied, Louis hands the phone back to Violet. Violet put the phone away and continued on. Once again, the man''s low voice came from behind him. "Violet, trust me for once! A rtionship that is not predicated on marriage is a hooliganism. Don''t worry, I''m a decent guy and will never be a hooligan in a proper way." In a few words, but one can hear a sincerity. Violet footsteps, looking at the church in front of her, the heart of that defense is slowly disintegrating. Is she going to trust him for once? Even if it is for the sake of the child in the belly. When autumn arrives, you can see the mountains not far away filled with fiery red maple leaves. Clusters and clusters of red like fire, very enthusiastic. Well, examine him for a while longer. When the timees, she''ll talk to him! "Where''s Zack and his mother? I need to see them with my own eyes to believe what you''re saying." Violet pinned her wind-blown short hair behind her ear and changed the subject. Louis raised an eyebrow and looked at the look on her face, the corner of his mouth hooked. I can see that someone is slowly letting go of their preconceptions about themselves, right? This is not considered a big step forward. "Go, they should be inside." Louis reached out and took Violet''s hand without saying a word. The wide, warm palm wrapped her small hand in it, and it was warm. Violet faintly froze, her eyes slowly fell on the two hands sped together, the corners of her mouth curved slightly. Still, he held his hand. Are some people not going to stop until they get what they want? The church was full of visitors, congregations, and went through the chapel to the garden at the back. There are several huts located there. Violet felt the breeze on her face, smelling the faint aroma of grass and trees, and just felt rxed and happy. "The mother and son should be resting in a bamboo hut." Louis hadn''t let go of her hand, and he leaned slightly closer to her ear and whispered. Violet just felt her ear lint being blown up and tickled to the core. As soon as she broke away from his hand, she moved two steps to the side and reached out to touch her ear. "Mr. Hendrix, even if I see a real person, it doesn''t mean anything, I''m not a casual woman." C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Men, can you not always write your desire on your face? She had just gotten a little bit of a crush on him, so could she not ruin his impression in her heart? Didn''t want to pick up on him. Anyway, she almost believed what he said in her heart, and it didn''t matter if she could see Zack''s mother and son. It is better to go back early. She was walking too fast and coldly bumped into someone walking on her way. The woman let out an ouch and was knocked to the ground. Violet looked apologetic and hurriedly leaned over to pull her. "I''m sorry, are you okay." The visitor, a middle-aged woman, looked up at Violet with wrinkled brows and said angrily, "You walk." The words were only the beginning, and the middle-aged woman looked at Violet steadily, with a sh of horror in her eyes. Chapter 447 Chapter 447 At this time, the sun in the sky gradually hidden into the clouds. The cold wind with wetness blew and messed up whose long hair. Dark clouds overwhelmed, the storm wasing, and the surrounding darkness was terrible. "Ghost, ghost! Stay away, I beg you to stop haunting me! Your death is none of my business! I''ve been taken advantage of too! You see I''ve been confessing to God, I''ve been atoning for my sins, don''t you The middle-aged woman had a frightened look on her face and kept waving Violet''s hand, as if she had seen something terrible. Her hair was messy, her eyelids were bruised underneath, and she looked like she hadn''t slept well in years. Violet''s hand was swatted away and she almost fell over. Louis, who was standing by, hurriedly held her up, his eyes slightly sunken as he looked at the middle- aged woman. The middle-aged woman, her mouth gibbering incessantly, scrambled up from the ground, turned and stumbled forward. Violet''s chest rose and fell, and looking at the middle-aged woman''s figure as she ran and turned back, she suddenly called out, "Stop! Tell me clearly! I, Amalia, have no enmity with you, why are you trying to harm me!" This middle-aged woman was clearly not mentally sound. She''s mistaken for someone else! Could she have been mistaken for her mother? She''s going to swindle her! The middle-aged woman''s body stiffened, then kept bowing to Violet. "It''s not my business, it''s really not my business! It''s them, they''re the ones who want to hurt you! Please don''te looking for me." The middle-aged woman finished speaking and stumbled away once again. She is no stranger to the name Amalia! Did this middle-aged woman really mistake her for her own mother? Violet was in a hurry and hurriedly raised her steps to chase after her, "Stop right there." Who the hell is she? Why is it that someone used her to get her own mother killed? Her biological mother died in childbirth. Does it mean that there is something fishy here? Violet was so distraught that she just wanted to stop the person and ask for rification. However a jerking pain in her stomach made her hiss and jerk to a halt. Louis, who was behind her, held her up and asked with concern, "What''s wrong with you?" "I" Violet opened her mouth, looked at Louis, and finally spat out two words, "It''s okay." She probably walked too fast and the baby in her belly was protesting. Louis frowned and gave her a somewhat suspicious look. By now, Violet had stretched her neck to look forward. Just a moment of dazedness, the middle-aged woman had disappeared. It''s as if the scene just now was just an illusion. Her red lips were pursed and her eyebrows were full of questions. "Mr. Hendrix, you saw that middle-aged woman just now, didn''t you?" Louis looked ahead and there were steps that he could not see. He hmmed, thoughtfully. "That middle-aged woman probably did something wrong, so she came over to repent. Looking at her face, she wasn''t in good spirits." Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. His face was haggard, and at first nce, he was overwhelmed with worries and had been mentally tortured for years. "I just said my name is Amalia, that''s my mom''s name, do you think she had something to do with my mom''s death?" Violet just felt some tightness in her chest and just wanted to talk to someone. And the man next to him is obviously a good listener. Louis eyes heart moved slightly, reached out and took her hand, "I''m not sure, if you want to investigate your mother''s death, marry me and I''ll help you look into it." Violet: "" She was asking a very serious question and he cornered her on marriage! Looks like she''s got the wrong person to talk to! Violet is speechless, a break away from his hand, slowly walking down the road. "No need, I can get a private investigator to look into it." If he helps her check things out, it''s just a matter of finding a private detective. As long as the money is paid, she can also find a private detective. Louis raised his eyebrows, followed by his hands in his pockets, "The business level of private detectives also have high and low, believe me, I find the level of private detectives, no one in the industry can match." Isn''t he a bit of a danger to others? Chapter 448 Chapter 448 No, it''s called reviewing the situation. If she wanted to know the truth, she should have agreed to his request and married him. Violet did not bother to pay attention to him, buried his head and walked forward. Louis looked at her slim back and sighed slightly. Trying to get someone to give in voluntarily doesn''t seem very realistic. Too stubborn! Louis stepped forward and took her by the arm, "Violet, are you a woman? If you have something to ask someone for help, won''t you pout and give in?" Ever since he met her, she has given him the impression of being very independent. All things like to resist themselves. Isn''t she tired? Obviously so beautiful, if you pampered towards him, he did notply with everything she? Violet faintly froze, looking sideways at Louis, her red lips lightly pursed. "Since I was a child, I have been fatherless, and since I understood, I have been admonishing myself in my heart: to be independent, to be self-reliant, and to rely only on myself in everything. So I can''t learn to be pampered, and I don''t want to give in to others." She grew up with her sister-inw and Evie. There is no strong person in her world, no one she can rely on. So, she learned to take on everything herself because she had to take care of her sister. The woman''s eyes are clear and bright, ck and white eyes like the brightest stars in the sky, can illuminate the darkest side of the human heart. A touch of pity crossed Louis'' heart. He reached out and took her into his arms, gently stroking her dark hair. "Violet, I''mte, from now on, you can have my shoulder to lean on." She is a good, kind girl with a tough character. He missed those years of her strong pretence of strength, and in the future, he wanted to protect her under his wings and shield her from the wind and rain. The man''s body emits a faint mint scent, and that gentle voice makes people''s hearts go soft when they hear it. The nasal passages are inexplicably sour. Suddenly a little touched! Violet did not know why this man suddenly incited, she pursed her lips, smelling his manly scent, some hesitation. "That, actually" Should she tell him about her pregnancy? Intuition, this man''s character is not bad. He kinda likes his daughter, and his own daughter likes him. From N?velDrama.Org. So when they get marriedter, he''ll be a good father, right? "Excuse me." A line of people came down behind them, saw Louis and Violet upying thene and reminded them with a smile. Louis let go of her and moved to the side with her by the shoulders. A line of people passed by one after another. Louis'' eyes fell on the side of Violet''s face and asked, "What did you just have to tell me?" Violet has swallowed the words that came to her mouth. It is true that what you want to do when you are impulsive, you will regret afterwards. "It''s nothing, let''s go back." Violet pinned the broken hair behind her ear and didn''t say the half-word out loud. It is better to examine him for a while longer. "Just going back? No more seeing Zack, mother and son?" Louis raised an eyebrow andughed lightly. Violet nced at him and pulled his hand away to walk down the hall. "Don''t you just want me to say that I believe you now? OK, I believe you now." "Oh, thanks." "You''re wee." "" Watching Violet''s footsteps briskly, Louis hooked his lips. The phone rang and he took it out and looked at it. It was Leon''s call. Is he here to rush him to sign a contract with Marcus? Chapter 449 Chapter 449 Back in Crotosi City, Louis drove off after dropping Violet off at the store. After changing into his attire, he arrived at The Johnson Group. From a distance, he could see a number of reporters crouching outside the gates of The Johnson Group. Obviously here to squat on Jasmine and Marcus. Early in the morning, the two have been eager to announce the wedding. Just now, the two have also received a license. It''s really impatient. Louis drove the car to the basement, the corners of his mouth curled up in mockery. He''d love to see how furious Marcus will look when he learns Jasmine''s true identity! "Mr. Johnson, you never came, the old Johnson got tired of waiting and left first. Only Marcus and Miss Johnson were in the parlor." Harry saw Louis arrive and greeted him with a whisper. Louis unbuttoned his suit by one, hmmed, and walked with wide strides toward the parlor. He just made Marcus wait on purpose. Marcus had something to ask The Johnson Group. Marcus is in a hurry, he''s not in a hurry! In the parlor, Jasmine is flirting with Marcus with a shy face. Marcus seems to be coaxing her, but if you look closely at his expression, you can see that he is not only distracted, but also impatient. We''ve been waiting for almost two hours, and Louis is so big, he''s just leaving him hanging! But he now has to beg Louis, can only bear it. The door was pushed open and Louis''s tall figure appeared at the front door. A dark suit, set off his jade tree. The handsome face is the usual unsmiling, surrounded by a powerful aura inherent in the body. He looked at the two who were mushy together, took off his jacket and hitched it to the side. "Brother, you''re finally here, so you can sign the contract, right?" Jasmine saw Louising, sat up straight and asked nonchntly. Louis was nomittal, ncing at the papers and two red books on his desk. "Should I say congrattions to you all?" Louis'' mouth curved in a mocking manner as he picked up the file and flipped through it. "Well, thank you Brother inw for the congrattions." Marcus straightened his back slightly and spoke proudly. Louisughed lightly, "I can''t afford to be called Brother inw, after all, Jasmine never treated me as a brother, and vice versa." If it was a half-sister, being called Brother inw would be fine. But in fact, this brutal and capricious woman, and his own blood has no rtionship yet! "Hmph, cut the crap, hurry up and sign the contract." Jasmine saw Louis say something like that and grunted coldly, not wanting to make a fool of herself. Anyway, she has married into the Scott family, and with Marcus backing her up in the future, she can definitely pull this bastard off the stage! Louis flipped through the contract, tossed it on the table, and leaned backzily with his upright body. "Mr. Scott, is there a mistake in this contract? I remember talking to my father clearly, in the cooperation case with Infinity Tech Company, we, The Johnson Group, want to be absolutely dominant. Moreover, the profit is also 30/70. You three, I seven. Are you doing it backwards?" Hearing this, Marcus'' eyes shed and said, "No, right? Father-inw has already read this contract, and he is in agreement." The contract was certainly reced by him. Damn Louis, this is taking advantage of someone! It turns out they the Scott family can eat the meat, if they follow his contract, they the Scott family can only drink the soup! "That''s right, my dad has agreed to it, you just have to sign." Jasmine was helping out. Louis'' eyes swept over the two of them, full ofzy arrogance, "I remember that I am still in charge of The Johnson Group, right? Since Mr. Scott is so insincere, then, our contract is over. After the Scott Group and Infinity Tech Company terminate their cooperation, I will discuss with Dominic to see how The Johnson Group can cooperate with Infinity Tech Company." Using his father as a shield? Do they have a clear understanding of the situation! Who is in charge of the Johnson family now? From N?velDrama.Org. Louis got up after that, grabbed his jacket and prepared to leave. Chapter 450 Chapter 450 "You! Louis, don''t go too far." Jasmine said in exasperation. Louis side head, scoffed, "Even if I go too far, so what? You have forgotten that you are now begging me, and if I am willing to be kind, I will reward you with a mouthful of food. Otherwise, I''ll let you starve to death!" The man''s tone was full of unbeatable bravado. Marcus'' face was hard to see. He pulled Jasmine, who still wanted to speak, and barely suppressed the feeling of humiliation inside him. "Louis, let''s redraft the contract just the way you want it." At this point in time, he can only bow his head for the time being. We''ll see! Louis raised an eyebrow, turned to admire Marcus''s constipated face, and slowly sat down. "It''s good to know when to think, Mr. Scott, and just figure it out." "Heck, Louis, you''re going to regret this." Jasmine gave Louis a hard stare. Louis didn''t give her a second thought. He is not likely to regret it, the person who regrets it should be her husband. The night came as expected. Colorful lights illuminate the sky, signaling that another day has passed. President''s Office. Louis is still on official business. A man who is serious about his work is so charming. There was a knock on the door and Harry knocked in. "Mr. Johnson, we have a message from Greyson." Hearing this, Louis''s hand movements jerked to a halt. "Found it? Where is he now?" "It''s been escorted by our men to the basement of the Imperial Club." "Okay, let''s go." Louis grabbed his jacket and got up to stride away with Harry. The car sped along and soon arrived at the Imperial Club. In the basement,he saw Greyson, bound in knots. The man had a grim face, and a scar still touched the eyes. "Boss." Several of his men greeted Louis respectfully. Louis nodded and told several people to stand down. He looked at the grim-faced Greyson and slowly squatted down. "You did the car ident I had a year ago?" The man''s voice is faint, not a trace of emotion can be heard. Greyson didn''t look at him and said coldly, "I don''t know what you''re talking about." Louis was not annoyed, but asked again, "Twenty years, my mother had a car ident, also rted to you, right?" Hearing this, Greyson visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but it passed in a sh. "Louis, do you have any evidence? If you have evidence, then hand it over to the police, if not, then you are making false usations!" The mouth is quite tough. Louis hooked his lips and slowly straightened up, pulling out his phone and tinkering with it. "What do you want? Don''t hurt us, mother and son, we don''t know the people you''re looking for, huh?" "Oooh, Daddy,e back, I''m scared." The panicked voices of the woman and child were especially prominent in the silent, cold basement. Greyson, who had little expression, snapped to Louis. "Louis, what are you doing!" All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. That was the voice of his wife and son. How did Louis find them! Chapter 451 Chapter 451 "I just want to know the truth. Even if you don''t tell me, I''ll find out, sooner orter." Louis'' voice is faint, but with a shocking force that cannot be ignored. Greyson''s eyes crossed with a violent struggle, and a fine sweat seeped from his forehead. He was making ast ditch effort. It is a choice to betray the boss or to preserve the family. Louis'' lips lightly hooked, giving another shock, "Greyson, I know that people like you who spend years licking blood on the knife''s edge care most about the life and death of your family. If you say so, I will let them go. If you don''t, I will make them taste the pain that my mother and I have suffered!" The man''s voice suddenly sank, full of warning. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Greyson''s body shuddered and he looked up at Louis and met his cold, deep eyes. This man does what he says he''s going to do. He is not an ordinary man, even his wife and children that he hid so deeply have been found out! He couldn''t hide it any longer. "I''ll say." Greyson lowered his head and slowly spat out two words. Louis'' demeanor regained its calmness and looked at Greyson condescendingly, opened the recorder in his hand, and waited for his confession. "I was in the road when I was young, your mother''s death, my boss made me do it" Greyson admitted that the reason Louis'' mother was in the ident was at the behest of his boss. And his boss, no one else, is none other than Zakaria''s cousin. Louis'' dark eyes were deep and he gripped the recorder in his hand. Zakaria''s cousin had no grudge against his mother, so why did he kill her? The reason for this is that Rosalie hates his mother. It was Rosalie who was behind it. But he has no substantial evidence. Likewise, Zakaria''s cousin ordered Greyson to do his car ident a year ago. Again, he had no evidence for Rosalie to plead guilty. Louis closed his eyes, listened to Greyson''s statement, and said to Harry, "Take him to the police." He didn''t want to get his hands dirty, sohe let the police check out Rosalie. Let''s see if Zakaria''s cousin will take the me for Rosalie! "Good." Harry told the bodyguard to take Greyson away. Greyson looked to Louis before he left, "Mr. Johnson, I''m sorry, and thank you." Thank him for being a decent man and not touching his family because of a personal vendetta. He knows that he is guilty, but his wife and children are innocent. They were not aware of the evil he was doing outside. Louis didn''t say anything, was was looking at the recorder and put it away. He just wants to find the truth. I want my mother to be able to rest in peace under the nine springs. Mother. Louis thought of something and looked to Harry and said, "Harry, find out more about Violet''s mother for me. Focus on how the ident happened when she had the baby." In order to chase a woman, he had to throw in the towel anyhow. If he helps her find out the truth, perhaps she will marry him once she is happy. Harry looked at the handsome man in front of him, moved his lips and said with some difficulty, "Mr. Johnson, after this is done, should I resign?" He had betrayed him, and they had agreed that as soon as Marcus was in the pit, then it was time for him to leave. Can you still stay and work for him? Hearing Harry''s words, Louis lifted his leg and paused slightly. He told Harry to do the job for him so much that he almost forgot about it. Louis turned back and looked at Harry quietly for two seconds, then smiled abruptly. "Harry, you''re supposed to be getting married to Nina soon, right? You''ll have your own business in the future, and I''m afraid I''ll have to call you Mr. Tran." Harry has been recognized as Harry''s son-inw by the Evison family for saving Nina''s life. A good thing is near for both of them. He should be congratted. Chapter 452 Chapter 452 Harry''s eyes were a little red. He looked at Louis and said firmly, "No, Mr. Johnson, no matter what my status is, I will always be your follower. In the future, as long as you have something to say, I, Harry, will certainly be the best." Louis felt his strong emotions, reached out and patted his shoulder twice, said nothing, and left in stride. Everyone has an encounter with everyone. As long as enough effort, the heavens will certainly silently for you to open the channel to the higher levels. Bless him. And he, now it''s time to go back and shuffle the Johnson family around. Pce Hotel, Grace saw the news about Marcus and Jasmine. Heart, instantly cooled half. They actually got a license! Marcus actually married Jasmine! She worked for Marcus and in the end it was a bargain for someone else! Marcus didn''t even say hello to her! Does he have her in his heart! Grace''s face twisted for a moment as she hurriedly left the hotel and headed for Marcus'' ce. She had to ask him face to face how he was going to settle her down. Night is falling. Marcus came back drunk. As soon as he turned on the wallmp, his original alcoholic feeling dissipated mostly when he saw Grace sitting on the sofa. "Why did youe here without saying hello? How bad would it be if people saw you?" The man''s tone was full of impatience, and Grace only felt a breath of depressed air that she was about to suffocate. "It''s not good to be seen by who, Jasmine? What, if you marry her, are you going to cut off your rtionship with me in the future?" Hearing this, Marcus gave her a look and pulled back his tie to sit down on the couch. "You''re jealous again? Didn''t I tell you? The person I love most is you, and marrying her is just to ease my recent predicament." The person you love the most is her? But why did she feel more and more that he was fooling her? She was fooled into working for him. When her use value is gone, then will she have to be kicked out directly by him? "Marcus, I''ve been with you for five years now, what the hell are you thinking? When will I be allowed to stand squarely in front of everyone and tell them that I''m the one who is your girlfriend?" Grace looked condescendingly at Marcus and asked. Marcus was not in a good mood, he looked at Grace with a sullen face, "Didn''t I tell you? As long as you help me annex The Johnson Group, then you are the future Mrs. Scott." To help him gobble up The Johnson Group? But Louis is not a paper tiger! He''s a real tiger! So far, their tricks haven''t had any effect on Louis at all. In the market, The Johnson Group has a head start on the Scott Group. Can they really take down Louis and swallow up The Johnson Group? At this moment, Grace had her first self-doubt. A woman''s youth is not long, she is almost twenty-five, really want to continue to waste? From N?velDrama.Org. Seeing Grace''s cold face and silence, Marcus was annoyed. But thinking that it was still a useful pawn, he could only get up patiently and take Grace into his arms. "Well, don''t get your head in the clouds. Hurry up and give me a hand and make some progress with Louis. He''s so shady, I always feel like I''ve been shaded by him again this time. You want to think of ways to marry him, as long as you marry him, after we respond to the outside, The Johnson Group will definitely let us in the hands." The man''s breath with the smell of alcohol lingers in his nose and is consistently tititing. It was obviously so familiar, yet it was impossible for her to be unfamiliar. Suddenly I felt that the man next to me was a bit fake. He is full of only his interests. Louis, on the other hand, is not surrounded by any warblers. He hasn''t given up his pursuit of Violet even now. Who is the man worthy of a lifetimemitment? Chapter 453 Chapter 453 the Johnson Manor. Louis stroked Luka''s head and said hello to Maria. Maria gave him a look, "Why did youe back today? Did you make progress with Violet and came back to report to me on purpose?" Hearing this, Louis raised an eyebrow and did not deny it, "Well." He disguised himself as Hendrix and exined the misunderstanding with Violet, so there was progress of sorts. "Oh? She''s agreed to marry you?" Maria brightened up and inquired. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. "That''s not true." It''s not that fast. Maria''s smile was withdrawn and she looked away from her. Louis lost his smile, "Grandma, are you watching too much Sichuan opera, face changing kung fu has risen." "Heck, don''t expect me to give you a good look until you get Violet back." Maria, with an old face, got up and waved at Luka, "Luka,e on, leave your useless father alone." Luka is a smart kid and knows who to hug. He nced at Louis and turned toward Maria. The father of the family is of little use and should be hung out to dry. Louis: "" Well, how can he, the big president who is admired by millions of people, be disliked by his family to such an extent? "Louis, what do you want from me?" Leon was called back by Louis and asked somewhat curiously. They barelymunicate with each other as a father and son, except for a family dinner once a month. Even if there are official matters, they aremunicated on the phone. These two days seems tomunicate a bit diligently ah. "Dad, let''s go talk in the study." The expression on Louis'' face converged and he took the papers in his hand and lifted his steps towards the stairs. The two men entered the study one after the other. Leon nced at the file in Louis'' hand and sat down on the couch. "What exactly is it?" Louis opened the briefcase in his hand and pulled out a stack of papers and handed them to Leon. "Dad, Jasmine isn''t your real daughter, you know?" Hearing this, Leon''s face changed and he looked at him with some disbelief. "Louis, are you kidding me?" The daughter he has raised for over twenty years, how could she not be his own flesh and blood? Louis didn''t say anything either, but stood quietly to the side and let Leon finish reading the information. Leon nced at ten lines, and when he saw the two gicparison results in his hand, he fiercely squeezed the paper in his hand, and his face turned blue. Jasmine is not rted to him by blood. She is the daughter of Zakaria and Rosalie! His good wife had actually cuckolded him for twenty years! "Good, very good! I can''t believe I was wrong about her!" Leon''s chest rose and fell violently with irritation. Louis'' expression was calm as he pulled out his recorder. "Dad, listen to this again." He put out Greyson''s deposition. Leon listened quietly, with even more dismay in his eyes. Louis said, "The man''s name is Greyson, and his boss is Zakaria''s cousin. That man and my mom don''t know each other, so why would he instruct Greyson to harm my mom? The person who has a stake in my mom is Rosalie." In other words, it was Rosalie who bought and killed the murderer. One year he had a car ident, also by Rosalie''s hand. Only unfortunately, she didn''t get her way this time. He lived a great life and survived. "This watery, poisonous woman, I only thought she was usually a bit arrogant and domineering, I really didn''t expect her to be so vicious!" Leon pped his face on the table with a painful look. Louis hooked his lips and asked, "Now that you know the truth, what do you n to do?" "Divorce! Find the evidence to send this poisonous woman to jail and avenge your mother!" Chapter 454 Chapter 454 Leon cut to the chase. He had little affection for Rosalie when he was younger. It was only for the family''s benefit that he married her. If he had not found out that she had given himself such a big cuckold, perhaps he could have turned a blind eye. And now, no divorce to stay for the New Year? "Dad, I don''t really want to interfere with your personal affairs, including the fact that you''ve kept a house of lovers outside and that your son is twenty-four years old." Louis said in a light voice: "I only hope that you will consider your personal matters after you have properly settled the matter of my mother." Once he and Rosalie divorce, he will inevitably pick up the woman outside. His half-brother was picked up along with him. He doesn''t care if there will be an addition to the family, he just wants his father to get justice for his mother himself. After all, the mother will die and the father is the culprit. After Louis finished, he turned around and walked away. Leon stared nkly at his back, reacted and hurriedly said, "You, you know everything?" This son of his really has too much heart. He couldn''t see through him at all! "Yes, it''s all known. She now lives with your son at the Pce Hotel and runs a caf¨¦. The person looks a little like my mother." Perhaps it is the mother who is the vermilion mole of the father''s heart. Even the women he foundter looked like his mother. But so what? He is destined to turn his mother into an outcast when power is paramount. It caused her to die at an early age. It caused him to grow up without a mother''s love. He despises his own father! C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Without further ado, Louis pulled open the door to his room and left in stride. Leon in the study sat dumbfounded, a sh of hurt crossing his eyes. Yes! The person he loves most is her. So unknowingly, she found a woman who looked simr to her and wrapped it up. She is the one he owes the most in this life! Leon let out a dark sigh and raised his eyes to the ceiling, pressing down the sourness under his eyes. Getting up, he pulled open the door to his room and left at a brisk pace. He''s going back and having a showdown with that bitch Rosalie! Meanwhile, in another independent vi. Rosalie just got a call from Zakaria. "What do you mean, Greyson''s been captured?" Rosalie jolted to her feet with a start. "Yes, I just received the news too. louis'' men found him and have now twisted him to the police station." Hearing this, Rosalie looked flustered. "How did Louis find him? Didn''t I tell him to hide and stay put? What now? He''s bound to give up your cousin." Once Greyson is caught, won''t all the things she''s done be known? Louis will never let her go! "What''s the panic, Rosalie, Greyson is my cousin''s man, what''s that got to do with us?" Zakaria soothed. "But what if he confesses that you told him to do it?" Rosalie was not reassured. "Don''t worry, I''ll shut him up." Zakaria''s tone was eerie. Rosalie was about to say something else, when the vi door was mmed shut with a ping. Rosalie was startled and hurriedly hung up the phone first. She took a deep breath, barely calmed her panic, pulled open the door and walked out. "Is it Leon who''s back? What''s with all the fire?" Leon stood in the living room, watching Rosalie''s heart burn with anger as she walked up to him Thinking about his twenty years as an old turtle, he raised his hand and gave Rosalie a hard p. Chapter 455 Chapter 455 Unexpectedly hit, Rosalie fell to the ground at once. She covered her fiery face with a look of dismay. "Leon, you hit me?" "Yes, I just beat you up!" Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Leon''s face was gloomy and he grabbed Rosalie''s hair, "Have I been raising a poisonous snake all these years?Did you send Isabelle to be killed? Huh?" When he thought of the woman he had loved so much, who had died under the wheel because of this poisonous woman, Leon grabbed Rosalie''s hair and punched and kicked her. "Ah! Help! Killing people!" Rosalie did not react at all, she dodged left and right, except for screaming, there was no room for thinking. Her screams soon drew Jasmine down. Jasmine was shocked to see Leon punching and kicking Rosalie like a raging beast. "Dad, you''re crazy, stop it." Leon''s face was grim as he looked at Rosalie, who was beaten to death, before dropping her. "Mom, Mom how are you!" Jasmine rushed over to hold Rosalie with an anxious look on her face. Rosalie slowly opened her eyes and looked at Leon and pointed at him shakily, "Leon, you''re really crazy! I want to divorce you!" Divorce! She still has the face to mention divorce! Leon smiled coldly, "Divorce is it? As it happens, that''s exactly what I want. Now, please take your bastard son and get out of the Johnson family! I''ll have mywyer draw up a document tomorrow and I want you out of the house!" A few words made Rosalie''s face change again and again. With an effort, she stared at Leon, a sh of panic in her eyes. Leon seems to know everything! Not only do they know that she hired someone to kill Isabelle over twenty years ago, but they also know that Jasmine is not his daughter! That''s why he''s so angry! "Dad, what did you say? What wild seed?" Jasmine helped Rosalie, who had been beaten up and bruised, to her feet with a look of disbelief. "Don''t call me dad, you''re not worthy to be my daughter." Leon nced at Jasmine with a look of disgust. No wonder this daughter has been restless since she was a child, so she is not her own seed! He really can hold back! "You, what are you talking about? Mom, you and Dad." Jasmine, of course, sensed that something was wrong and looked at Rosalie with a puzzled expression. Rosalie swallowed her saliva, "It seems you know everything? Since you know all about it, I don''t have to be false to you anymore. I''ll take Jasmine away, but you don''t expect me to get out of the house! Even if I''m at fault, legally, marital property ismon property, and I have the right to take the share that belongs to me." Since the face is torn, she has nothing to say. Just go. It''s not like she doesn''t have a man anyway! "Rosalie, for so many years I have been respectful to you and you have been polite to me, so it seems you really think I am easy to bully, don''t you?" Leon''s tone was eerie, "At least I used to be the king who reigned in the mall, you can try and see if you have the life to live to enjoy my the Johnson family''s property!" A sudden chill ran down Rosalie''s spine, and a shiver ran down her spine as she thought of Leon''s iron grip on the mall when she was younger. I don''t know if it''s the fear or the cold. Looks like Leon is going to settle the score with her! Would he let her die? No, now is a legal society, he can still use some illegal means to get her dead. Rosalie''s mind wandered and she took Jasmine''s hand tightly, "Jasmine, let''s go." For now, it is better to get out of here and talk to Zakaria afterwards. Jasmine was dumbfounded the whole time. Chapter 456 Chapter 456 She looked at Leon and then at Rosalie and asked in disbelief, "Mom, what do you mean? Aren''t I his daughter?" She had been the youngdy of the Johnson family for over twenty years, how could she change all of a sudden? "Let''s go out and talk about it, now walk Mom up to get her stuff first." Rosalie said. "All the things here belong to the Johnson family, you are not allowed to take any of them, get out of here right now!" Leon chortled coldly. "Leon, don''t go too far." Rosalie called out. "Housekeeper, get this shameless mother and daughter out of my house right now, I don''t want to see them again!" Leonmanded with a grim face, then turned around and went upstairs. He still has work to do, and he wants justice for the woman he loves. Won''t let Rosalie, the poisonous woman, get away with it! The housekeeper was shocked, but said nothing and began to have the servants drive away Rosalie''s mother and daughter. "Don''t push me, we''ll walk on our own." Rosalie, with a look of exasperation on her face, looked at Leon again, a sh of hatred in her eyes. People say one day husband and wife, but Leon has never been a bit of a husband and wife to himself. If he didn''t have himself in his eyes, why would she have bought the murder, and why would she have given him a cuckold? She is a woman, just want to find a little presence in front of him ah! The two went out the door and Rosalie called Zakaria toe pick her up. The evening breeze blew a gust of cold wind, making both of them hug their arms. Jasmine looked at Rosalie with a white face, fixedly, "Mom, who are you talking to on the phone? Can you tell me what''s going on here?" Rosalie gave her a look and said, "Jasmine, your own father wille and pick us upter. leon never This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. loved me, I''m a woman and a rich girl, why should I be unloved for the rest of my life? So." "So you cheated?" Jasmine asked with a scowl on her face. Rosalie frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with her daughter''s remark, but refuted nothing. "So which powerful family was my father born into?" Jasmine took a deep breath and asked. She didn''t care if her mother cheated on her. But she cares about her birthright. She doesn''t want to be amoner by birth! "Your father, he wasn''t born into a wealthy family." Rosalie nced at Jasmine, a glint of weakness in her eyes. After all, she is mother and daughter, and she understands Jasmine''s intention in asking this question. She didn''t want a civilian origin. But she is amoner by birth. "Not from a powerful family? Then what is it? Amoner?" Jasmine''s voice rose, "Mom, you can y with excitement, but why do you have to y with fire? I''m from a civilian background, how do you expect me to make it in high society?" She had just gotten married to Marcus and was happily waiting for him to marry her. If Marcus knew that she was not the youngdy of the Johnson family, but amoner, would he still marry himself? "Jasmine, Mom knows it''s hard for you to ept this fact for a while, but it is what it is. But don''t worry, your own father loves you very much, he" Rosalie tries tofort Jasmine, but Jasmine shrugs her off. "I don''t need the affection of a civilian father. What can he give me? Can he make me the proud daughter of heaven as I am now? Mom, why did you give birth to me?" Jasmine was so angry that she yelled at Rosalie. Rosalie had a headache. At that moment, a car was speeding by. The car pulled up in front of the two and Zakaria stepped out of it. Chapter 457 Chapter 457 "Rosalie, Jasmine." Zakaria walked up to the two men and called out to them. Seeing Rosalie in a mess, her face suddenly changed. "What''s wrong with you? Did Leon hit you?" Rosalie leaned into Zakaria''s arms, her eyes red, "Yes." "Leon the old thing, he actually hits women!" Zakaria had an angry look on her face. Rosalie wiped her tears and looked over at Jasmine, "Jasmine, this is your real dad." Jasmine was looking at Zakaria, her breasts heaving, "You''re my real father? You''re a son of a butler and you''re worthy of being my father?" She recognizes Zakaria. Sometimes Rosalie takes her out and meets Zakaria. Rosalie had introduced to her that this was the housekeeper''s son. She kept calling him Uncle Zakaria. Zakaria looked at himself with a particrly loving look, and it turned out to be because he knew that she was his daughter! "Jasmine, I know you may have a hard time epting this for a while,e on, let''s go back and talk about it." Zakaria''s face was a little ugly when she heard Jasmine''s words. He tries to pull Jasmine, only to have her shrug him off. "Get your filthy hands off me! This is not true, you must be lying to me, how can I be the son of a servant?" Jasmine shouted, not wanting to ept this at all. Rosalie''s face was also ugly as hell. "Jasmine, even if you can''t ept the fact, that''s the way it is. Are youing with us now or not?" Jasmine bit the corner of her lip, staring hatefully at the two men in front of her with a look of resignation and anger. Is her own mother sick? The cheating is also looking for a man with a little status, okay? Why do you need a housekeeper''s son! "Jasmine, don''t worry, although I''m not high up, I promise to make you live a better life than you are now. Let everyone submit at your feet and live on your nostrils." Zakaria is patient and draws a big pie with Jasmine. Jasmine red at him with a mocking look on her face, "With your status, you can still make a better life for me than the one I have now? Well, the night is here and you are allowed to dream." Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Hearing this, Zakaria was not annoyed, but asked, "Jasmine, have you ever heard of the Mara family?" the Mara family, a financial family known worldwide. This family business covers almost all of Huswain''s industries. The Mara family is not just rich in Huswain, his influence has even overriddenw and politics. Jasmine has heard of the family, having been involved in high society. She looked askance at Zakaria with an impatient face, "I''ve heard of it, why?" "I''m working for the people in charge of the Mara family right now, in a one-man, one-woman kind of position." Zakaria slightly straightened her back with a smug look. "the Mara family is looking for a permanent partner in Crotosi City, and all the businesses here have to suck up to me. Do you think I have what it takes to make your life the best it can be?" Hearing this, Jasmine was slightly stunned, looking him up and down, her initial resistance slowly calmed down. "Hmph, any more, you''re just a part-timer, can you make me as respected as before?" Although her mouthined so much, her tone was not so angry anymore. Zakaria knew that she was throwing a big missy tantrum and smiled as she went over to pull her, "Yes, yes, it''s Dad''s fault,e on, let''s go home and talk." "Don''t you touch me, I''ll go on my own." With an arrogant look on her face, Jasmine pulled open the car door and sat up. Rosalie nced at Zakaria and looked back at the Johnson Manor again with a sh of hate in her eyes. "Zakaria, Leon already knows that Isabelle''s death, as well as Louis'' car ident, had something to do with me. He now wants me to clean up my act and maybe get me killed." Chapter 458 Chapter 458 Hearing this, Zakaria''s eyes shed with a hint of coldness. He helped Rosalie towards the car, "Rosalie, I''ll take care of things here, if you''re scared, I''ll arrange for you to leave the country." "But Greyson was caught, your cousin certainly can not escape, if he bites me out, I''m afraid I can not escape." Rosalie had a worried look on her face. "Don''t worry, I have his family in my hands, I won''t make it easy for him to talk." Zakaria''s eyes filled with a cold awning as she pulled open the passenger side door. The car sped along and the three of them returned to the vi where Zakaria was staying. Jasmine entered the door and looked at therge vi, which was no worse than the Johnson Manor, and the anger in her heart lifted a little. "I''m going to Marcus''s now, and you''ll have someone take me there." Her identity has changed, tomorrow stop may be full of news. Gotta showdown with Marcus before it''s toote. Prepare him mentally. "Okay, I''ll have someone send you there." Zakaria is responsive to Jasmine''s needs and has a servant send her to Marcus. At this time, Marcus is in his apartment getting bored with Grace. Grace is unhappy, in order to make her willing to work for himself, he must appease her anyhow. Therefore, he put a lot of effort into the bed and served herfortably. Watching the woman drift off like a peach blossom, Marcus hooked his lips, "Still mad, baby?" Grace, of course, still has something in her heart. But at this point she was too tired to think or move at all. She rolled over and ignored him, and just tried to sleep through it. At that moment, Marcus''s cell phone rang. Marcus nced over and saw that it was cell security calling. "What''s wrong?" "Mr. Scott, your wife ising in." His wife? Jasmine! From N?velDrama.Org. Marcus blushed, said he knew, and hung up. He often ys with women and is afraid that if two women meet together, it will cause unnecessary tearing, so he specially instructs the neighborhood security staff to notify him in advance if someone Otherwise, he willin. I didn''t expect Jasmine toe at thiste hour. Marcus hurried over to the bed and nudged Grace, "Grace, wake up, you need to get out of here right now, Jasmine is here." Grace was drifting off to sleep when she heard Marcus''s words and she came to her senses. "Why is Jasmine here at this time?" "Who knows?" Marcus had an impatient face, "Get dressed and don''te back without my order in the future to avoid trouble." He and Jasmine are licensed and are actually married in name only. The reason why they didn''t live together is that he suggested it. Since Jasmine is pregnant now, she will be better taken care of at her mother''s house. So he proposed that after the wedding, they live together again. Of course he is selfish, after all, he does not love Jasmine. Who wants to serve a pregnant woman every day. Jasmine didn''t say she disagreed either, just that she would check in often. Probably today is to check the post. Chapter 459 Chapter 459 Hearing Marcus'' words, and then seeing his impatient face, Grace slightly lowered her eyes, her eyes full of humiliation. Her body is still covered with the marks of a man''s nourishment. But she suddenly felt like a whore who was beckoned toe and go. There is no point of dignity. "Why isn''t she moving? Hurry, she should be here soon." When Marcus saw that Grace did not move, he hurriedly put on her clothes for her and pushed her towards the door with a shout. Grace''s face changed for a moment as she swatted Marcus'' hand away, silently buttoned herself up, grabbed her phone and bag, and walked away quickly. She should really think about where she should go next. Are you going to be a poor wretch with no dignity like this all the time! Out the door, she heard the elevator ding and someone came out on this floor. Grace pursed her lips, a sh into a safe passage aside. The sound of a woman''s high heels ttered straight ahead, followed by Jasmine''s voice. "Marcus, open the door." Sure enough, it was Jasmine who came. Grace smiled coldly and listened to the door being opened and Marcus'' voice of mock surprise, "Bao''er, what brings you here?" "Oooh, Marcus, I''m hard." "Ouch, why are you still crying? Come in and talk." The door snapped shut again and the hallway became empty and silent once again. It turns out that he calls anyone a po-boy. It turns out that he is so gentle with those who have use for him. Grace tightened her grip on the bag strap in her hand and closed her eyes, as if she had made up her mind. From N?velDrama.Org. She''s still Luka''s real mother, and she''s going to use it to secure the hostess of the Johnson family''s throne! In the apartment. Marcus coaxed Jasmine to sit on the couch and waited for her to stop crying before asking curiously, "Baby, what''s going on?" Jasmine sniffled and took Marcus''s hand, "Ali, I need to tell you something, I just found out that I" Marcus saw Jasmine''s desire to speak andughed, "You what? Don''t tell me you''re not pregnant." "It''s not that, it''s that I''m not THE Johnson." Jasmine spoke up, watching Marcus''s expression. The smile on Marcus'' face lurched and he frowned as he asked, "Not THE Johnson, what does that mean?" "That is, I''m not Leon''s daughter." She''s not Leon''s daughter, she''s not the Johnson! Marcus'' face changed a thousand times and he stood up with a scuffle. "What do you mean? You''re not Leon''s daughter? You''re kidding me!" How could she not be Leon''s daughter? If it wasn''t Leon''s daughter, would he have had to join her in marriage? Did he have anything to gain by joining with her? "I''m not kidding, just now Leon and my mom got into a fight and kicked me out with my mom. marcus, I''m so sad, you hug me." Jasmine gets up and tries to lean into Marcus''s arms. Marcus pushed her away with a quick sh of disgust in his eyes. "Jasmine, tell me first, if you are not the youngdy of the Johnson family, then what is your true identity? If your father is not Leon, then who is he?" Don''t tell him that he married a civilian! "His name is Zakaria and he is the son of the Johnson family''s former steward. But Marcus." "What did you say? Your father is the son of a steward of the Johnson family? You are the daughter of a servant!" Marcus almostughed, "Very well, Jasmine, are you trying to trick me? If you''re not the youngdy of the Johnson family, why would I want to be married to you? Divorce, we''ll get a divorce tomorrow!" What the hell! He married a fake daughter, not to mention the annexation of The Johnson Group, as he is now, he will beughed to death by everyone! Chapter 460 Chapter 460 "Marcus, why are you acting like this? Did you marry me because of my status as THE youngdy of the Johnson family?" Jasmine''s eyes glowed red with anger as she asked. "It''s not because of that, do you really think I like you?" Marcus snorted, "You are not a child of three years old, like us rich family, who do not want to find a wife with the right family? Get out of here, get out of here right now, and we''ll get the paperwork done tomorrow!" The man waved his hand straight towards her with a cold-blooded and heartless look. Jasmine was cold-hearted and angry. "Marcus, hear me out! Have you heard of the Mara family? My own father is now a close friend of the people in charge of the Mara family!" She can''t divorce Marcus. She has lost the title of the youngdy of Johnson family, and can no longer afford to lose the title of Mrs. Scott. How can she still have one foot still in the gentry family ah. Hearing Jasmine''s words, Marcus'' face changed slightly again. "You mean the Mara family of Huswain?" That family he certainly knows. Previously, for some political reasons, the Mara family only developed in their home country. There seems to be a global movement towards development today. If the Scott Group could get together with the Mara family, it would be no ordinary coboration. It''s a cross-century coboration. "It''s that the Mara family from Huswain." Jasmine saw Marcus'' demeanor change and huffed, "Marcus, my father said that he was the kind of Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. person who was under one person and above all others, and that he had the final say on which business to work with. Now you want to divorce me?" Marcus'' eyes shed and he walked over to her and grabbed her. "Jasmine, just now I was just angry and confused, that''s why my mouth was covered. How could I possibly divorce you? You''re still pregnant with our baby!" He had to hold her steady. You have to get in touch with the Mara family. "Hmph, you men are all mouth-breathers, you married me because you saw the value of using me, right?" Jasmine grimaced and twisted her body to break away from Marcus. Marcus hastily coaxed, "I told you, I just got confused. It was so shocking that I just blurted out." "Then tell me, did you marry me because you love me or not?" "Because I love you, of course? My treasure." "Heck, Marcus, I don''t trust you one bit." "Paulie, I will make you believe that I love you." "" Marcus racked his brain with words of love and carried Jasmine to bed The following day. A news sensation hit the city. Leon announced the end of his twenty-year marriage to Rosalie. In the announcement, he used Rosalie of marital infidelity and told the public that Jasmine was not the youngdy of the Johnson family. This announcement caused an uproar in Crotosi City''s upwardly mobilemunity. No one expected that Jasmine, who has been arrogant in the upper ss circle for more than twenty years, would turn out to be a fake daughter of a thousand. And now this fake girl is lucky to climb Marcus, and be a young grandmother of the rich family again. For a while, everyone was waiting to see what Marcus''s attitude was. In the apartment, Marcus looked at the online buzz and threw his phone away in anger. Shame on you, what a shame. Jasmine''s style is not good in upper ss circles and now everyone thinks he picked up a broken shoe. And this broken shoe is still a broken shoe of little value. Why so suffocating! He would have divorced Jasmine immediately if he hadn''t wanted to get involved with the Mara family. Chapter 461 Chapter 461 "Jasmine, when will you arrange for me to meet with your father?" Marcus said with a stinky face to Jasmine, who had juste out of the bathroom. Jasmine was cutting her hair, and when she saw his strained face, she said, "Marcus, why are you putting on a stinky face?" Marcus pressed his inner depression, "Now the inte is full of news about the Johnson family and you, and I''m in a bad mood." "Putting on a face for me just because you''re in the mood? I didn''t cause this either." Jasmine had a look of aggravation on her face. "Well, be a good boy and let me hook up with your dad and wait for me to put down THE Johnson family and take it out for you." Marcus was impatient, but he had to act gentle on his face and got up to wrap his arms around the unhappy Jasmine. Jasmine also knows that these are extraordinary times and cannot really be bothered with Marcus. "Got it, I''ll contact my mom in a few minutes." Hearing this, Marcus was satisfied, "I''m going to the bathroom." Jasmine sits on the couch and pulls out her cell phone, ready to call Rosalie. At that moment, there was a beep and a message came in on Marcus'' phone that was sitting on the C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. table. Jasmine inadvertently nced at it and couldn''t help but blush slightly when she saw the message on it. It''s a message from Grace! Which Grace? Don''t tell her that it''s Grace, who is pretending to be Luka''s real mother. "Marcus, did you see the news? You married a fake daughter! So are you going to divorce her" She couldn''t see the back of it. Look at the familiarity of this speaking ent. Obviously, these two know each other! Jasmine''s face changed for a moment, and she took out her own cell phone directly and dialed a number for Grace to call. The call was quickly answered and Jasmine called out into the phone, "Grace, are you Marcus'' lover?" Grace on the other end of the phone didn''t expect Jasmine to pop up with this, "I don''t know what you''re talking about." "Say what? Do you not understand what I say in humannguage?" Jasmine had a sarcastic look on her face, "I see, Grace, so you''re Marcus'' pawn to keep around Louis, right?" She is not stupid, the whole thing strung together and figured it out. Marcus must have been using Grace to get close to Louis in an attempt to annex The Johnson Group. So Grace was Marcus''s woman early on? The thought of Marcus and Grace getting together at an early age made Jasmine furious. At that moment, Marcus came out of the bathroom and heard Jasmine''s words. With a start, he rushed over to Jasmine''s voice, "Jasmine, who are you talking to?" Jasmine hung up the phone and looked at him, "Marcus, tell me honestly, is that Grace your secret lover?" Marcus frowned, picked up his own phone and nced at it, finding a message from Grace. At once, he cursed, "Stupid." Idiots who can''t do enough! His rtionship with her was just discovered by Grace! "Jasmine, I''m just using her." Marcus put his arm around Jasmine and smiled reassuringly. "You used her to get close to Louis? So did you keep a rtionship with her while you were having sex with me, too?" Jasmine questioned. "Jasmine, I''m a man," Marcus coaxed her. "I don''t care, Marcus, I want you to break it off with Grace right now!" What is Grace? How dare amoner share a man with himself? She did not know even if, now that she knows, certainly can not turn a blind eye. "Jasmine, don''t you want to get back at the Johnson family? This Grace is a great pawn, and I''m waiting for her to make a big impact." Marcus certainly couldn''t give up Grace. "She''s a pawn, and you don''t have to maintain that rtionship with her, do you?" Jasmine paused, suspicion shed in her eyes, "Marcus, she willingly became your pawn, did you you promised her that when you annexed The Johnson Group, you would let her be Mrs. Scott ah?" When he heard this, Marcus cursed Grace again in his heart. "No matter, Jasmine, isn''t Mrs. Scott now you?" "It''s me now, and when she''s done helping you with the big job, you can kick my ass too can''t you?" The more Jasmine thought about it, the more she felt this was the case. Chapter 462 Chapter 462 Marcus is so good at using women. He''s just using himself too, isn''t he? "Ouch, Jasmine, you''re so full of shit, I really was just using her as a pawn." Marcus softly coaxed, "Well, Mrs. Scott, the most important thing right now is to take down Louis, so why don''t you help me find a way to get Grace to marry Louis as soon as possible and then get her to work for us to bring down the Johnson family?" Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Mrs. Scott! Let Grace help us! I have to say, Marcus has a way of coaxing women. Jasmine''s heart felt much morefortable after hearing his words. However, Grace is still a formidable opponent for her. She had to find a way to ruin her! What''s the best way to get Grace to marry Louis and ruin Grace at the same time? Jasmine''s eyes rolled and a wicked thought shed through her mind. "Marcus, I do have an idea." "What''s the idea?" Sky Shopping Mall. Violet has been thinking about her mother since she returned from the Pce Hotel. What exactly did the mother die of? It must not have been a simple death in childbirth. She wanted to look into the matter. But suffering from the age, there is no familiar with the people around, even if you find a private detective, but also two eyes, no way to start. Do you just watch your mother die unjustly, but do nothing about it? Violet wants to ask Austin for help, but Josie has already broken up with Austin and she feels she should no longer have contact with him. Go to Louis? Again, she didn''t want to owe the other side any more favors. Because it cannot be repaid. Hendrix''s face shed in my mind. He said he could help her investigate her mother''s death. But then he made a request for her to promise to marry him. It really will take advantage of the situation. Violet exhaled, a little discouraged. "Miss Helena, it''s time to eat." Natalie, carrying food in her hand, gestures for Violet to go to the lounge to eat. Violet was not really hungry, but when she thought of the baby she was carrying in her stomach, she went in as instructed. "Ribs and mushroom soup? Natalie, did you order this? You''re giving me a little treat again!" Violet smelled the food and asked with a smile. "Yes, Miss Helena, you''ve lost weight again recently, you need to take care of it." Natalie gave Violet a bowl of soup, and her slightly downcast eyes glowed with the slightest hint of ghostly light. "Thanks." Violet took the soup bowl and blew on the soup noodles. Natalie watched Violet''s movements, her fingers tugging slightly. "Miss Helena, drink it while it''s hot." "Good." Violet smiled and was about to drink her soup when Josie came running in with a breeze. "Violet, have you seen the news? Something big is happening with the Johnson family!" Violet froze and asked with a smile, "What is it, look at you yelling." She was so busy at the mall that she hadn''t had a chance to check her phone. "Louis'' father Leon and his wife divorced!" Josie sat down beside Violet and opened her phone to show Violet. With a surprised look on her face, Violet put the bowl down in her hand and picked up the phone to look at it. "It''s amazing that Jasmine is not the youngdy of Johnson family! Leon has actually been wearing a cuckold for more than twenty years." Josie spluttered a bunch, got a little thirsty, and then just grabbed Violet''s soup and drank it. "Mmm, this soup is so good!" Chapter 463 Chapter 463 Natalie watched Josie drink the soup and opened her mouth with a slight twist of her brow. She handed another bowl of soup to Violet, "Miss Helena, drink it while it''s hot." Violet has been surprised by the news of the Johnson family. She hmmed and took the soup bowl Natalie handed her while saying, "Why is this news breaking all of a sudden, there was no warning before." It''s kind of a scandal for the Johnson family. I never thought Rosalie would have the nerve to use the Johnson family''snd to raise a child with someone else. I don''t know who uncovered her old self. "Isn''t it? Do you think Louis could have found out?" Josie finished the bowl of soup and sighed tersely infort. "Maybe." Violet took a sip of her soup and pondered. Luxury families, it can be a real mess. Leon has an illegitimate son out there. I''m sure Rosalie doesn''t know that. Otherwise it would not be so passive. Be d that she is now detached from the gentry. It''s too much trouble. Watching Violet take several sips of soup, the corner of Natalie''s mouth hooked and a dark light shed in her eyes. Miss Helena, don''t me her! As long as there is no child, she will not be involved with that person. Don''t want to see her remarry because of the baby! "Well, vomit." Violet suddenly felt a revulsion in her stomach. She hurriedly hugged the garbage can and threw up in a frenzy. "Gee, Violet, why are you throwing up so much?" Josie froze, knowing that Violet was throwing up, and rushed behind Violet to rub her back. Natalie watched as Violet threw up and passed out, her brow furrowed. The soup you just drank was just vomited up? No way! From N?velDrama.Org. You have to drink this soup today to get it! Natalie served another bowl of soup, "Miss Helena, you spit out the soup, have another bowl." Violet felt much better without anything in her stomach. She wiped the corner of her mouth and waved a hand toward Natalie. "No, I don''t want a drink right now." Let her slow down and talk. "But." "Hiss, Violet, my stomach hurts." Not waiting for Natalie to finish, Josie suddenly blushed, covering the small of her back and wrinkling her brow in pain. Violet was stunned and held her up, "Why do you suddenly have a stomachache? Did you eat something bad?" "It''s not the pain of bad food, it''s the pain in my belly, Violet, I''m in pain!" Josie''s face went pale and her body bowed. "Josie, don''t be afraid, I''ll take you to the hospital right away." Violet looked anxious and hurriedly helped Josie to go outside. "Violet, I''m in pain!" Josie kept screaming in pain as Natalie stared nkly at the two men''s backs, her eyes falling on a blood-red drop on the ground, her fingers tugging hard. How did this happen! Josie she''s pregnant too! She''s going to have a miscarriage! Violet helped Josie into the car, and when helping her put on her seat belt, that''s when she noticed something different. "Josie, you" Is Josie pregnant? Josie this is a sign of miscarriage! Violet, with a white face, couldn''t think much about it and drove Josie to a nearby hospital. When Josie was wheeled into the emergency room, she gripped her phone tightly, her red lips pursed. Josie is pregnant, and that baby should be Austin''s. At this time, she should have informed Austin. With that in mind, Violet called Austin in a hurry. "Mr. Evison, something has happened to Josie, can youe to the hospital now?" Austin on the other end of the phone had just arrived at a dinner party, and when he heard that Josie was in the hospital, he got up and grabbed his coat and hurried to the hospital. At the hospital, Violet is pacing the long corridor in a distracted manner. Today''s events are too unbelievable. Why did Josie suddenly get a stomach ache! If she was really pregnant, did she eat something that pregnant women can''t eat that caused her to miscarry. Chapter 464 Chapter 464 God willing, I hope the baby in her belly is still there. Violet prayed silently. Twenty minutester, Austin arrived in a hurry. That three steps into the stance of two steps, through the hint of anxiety. "Violet, what the hell happened to Josie?" Violet didn''t say much on the phone, so Austin doesn''t know exactly why Josie was taken to the This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. hospital. Violet twitched her lips, "Mr. Johnson, Josie she''s pregnant!" Josie is pregnant! Austin was surprised after a brief moment of consternation. "Josie''s pregnant! She''s pregnant with my baby?" Great, he''s going to be a father! Just why did Josie suddenlye to the hospital? The smile on Austin''s face faded and his eyes shed with tension, "What the hell happened to Josie and why did shee to the hospital?" "Josie her." She was about to say that Josie had sudden stomach pains and that the baby''s condition was now unknown when the door to the emergency room opened. Both men looked toward the doctor in unison and both ran over to him. "Doctor, my girlfriend, how is she doing?" Austin took the lead in asking. "There is nothing serious wrong with the patient, except that the baby in her belly was not preserved." The baby was not saved. Violet only felt her heart gradually sinking. Austin on the side even moved his body, like a headbutt. "How did this happen? Why wasn''t her baby saved? You quack doctors, what are you all doing!" Austin, in a burst of excitement, grabbed the doctor by the cor. Violet hurriedly advised, "Mr. Evison, calm down and let go." Austin''s face was blue, and as he let go of the doctor''s cor, a sh of scarlet shed in his eyes. He tugged his fist tight and suddenly gave himself a p, "It''s all my fault." He mes himself. Why did you have to break up with Josie? If he and she were still well, maybe the baby wouldn''t have been lost! Looking at Austin''s back as he strides forward, Violet clenches her fists and feels unusually sad. She wondered how Josie could suddenly have a miscarriage. I didn''t bump or touch it, so howe my stomach hurts for no reason? Her mind shed back to the bowl of soup she''d had, and she hastily pulled out her cell phone and called Natalie. She''s going to take that bowl of soup and have it tested to see if there''s anything in it that''s not good for pregnant women to eat? The phone was answered after two rings. "Miss Helena, how''s Josie doing?" Natalie''s inquiry came over the current. "She was pregnant, but the baby was gone." Violet didn''t hold back, "Natalie, do you have any more of that soup from noon? I want you to bring it to the hospital right away forb work." "Miss Helena, I''m sorry, that soup has been consumed by a few of us." Natalie was all apologetic. Violet wrinkled her eyebrows and just thought there was something coincidental about it. "Where''s the trash? I remember I threw up a little in the trash can, is that trash still there?" "The garbage was just taken out by me." Not even garbage anymore. Violet tightened her grip on the phone, "Natalie, you''ve had your soup too, right?" "Yes." "How do you feel now after your soup?" "Everything is fine. miss Helena, is there something wrong with the soup?" They were fine with the soup, but Josie had a miscarriage. Is the problem not in the soup? Or is it that this soup is fine for ordinary people to drink, but only for pregnant women to drink? "No, I''ll just ask around, for now." Things are too coincidental. Coincidentally, she couldn''t help but wonder if this was a calcted injury or not. And the harm was done to her? Violet thought back on the day''s events in detail. That soup was originally for her to drink. If there was really something wrong with the soup, and if she hadn''t had sudden pregnancy vomiting, then the baby in her belly might have been miscarried. Did someone know she was pregnant and didn''t want her to have the baby? But no one knew about her pregnancy except Josie! Violet, puzzled, walked quickly towards the ward. Chapter 465 Chapter 465 In the senior ward, Austin asked for connections to put Josie in the room. Looking at the pale woman on the hospital bed, he walked to the bedside and reached out to hold her hand. "I''m sorry, Josie, I shouldn''t have gotten annoyed with you." If he hadn''t wanted that damn pride and just stayed by her side, maybe the baby wouldn''t have happened. He can be a father right away! Remorse! Really remorseful. When Violet pushed the door in, she saw Austin sitting quietly on the edge of the bed waiting for Josie to wake up. "Mr. Evison." Violet called out softly. Austin made a shushing motion, then put Josie''s hand under the covers and gently got up, gesturing for Violet to go out and talk. "Tell me more about the situation and how Josie suddenly had a miscarriage." Austin''s face was sullen, with a hint of sternness. Violet pursed her lips and said truthfully, "I didn''t know she was pregnant. Today at noon, she came over in a hurry to tell me about the Johnson family news. I was getting ready for lunch, and she saw a bowl of soup and drank it, and after that she said her stomach hurt." Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. "Only a bowl of soup? Nothing else? No one pushed her and she didn''t bump and trip?" Austin seized the point and asked in a cold voice. "No." Violet said back. Austin''s breath around him sank, "So that means there''s something wrong with the soup? Who made the soup?" "The soup was ordered by Natalie for me at a private restaurant for take-out." "Which private restaurant?" "Yes." Violet gave a name and Austin''s face sank even deeper. This is a private restaurant he just invested in this year. If it''s true that the soup here killed his own flesh and blood, he won''t forgive himself! Austin pulled out his cell phone with a grim face and called the manager of the private restaurant, asking him toe to the hospital at once. Hanging up the phone, he inquired, "Is there any soup left? Bring it in forb work." "I just called, and the soup has been consumed." Violet replied back. "They''re all fine with drinking?" Austin narrowed his eyes and asked. "Yes, it''s all fine." Violet stated the guess in her mind, "Either the soup is fine, or, there may be something in this soup that is not good for pregnant women." Specifically, the only way to know is throughboratory tests, but the bias soup is gone. "Violet, you have dirt on you, did Josie throw up on you when she had an upset stomach?" Austin caught a glimpse of Violet''s jacket stained with a little dirt. Violet looked down and saw the bottom of her jacket stained with something. It should have been identally sshed when he vomited. "Mr. Evison, do you know a doctor? Can you take it to theb right away?" Violet hurriedly took off her jacket and inquired. "Yes." Austin took the jacket and started calling doctors he knew well. It wasn''t long before a doctor came striding in, talked to Austin, and then took his coat and left. Violet pursed her lips and looked towards the ward, she saw Josie moving her body, she should be waking up. "Josie''s awake." Violet spoke up and pushed the door inside in a hurry. Austin followed it in. On the hospital bed, Josie slowly opened her eyes with a hint of confusion. "Josie, you''re awake." Violet called out softly. Josie gave her a look and curled her lips, "Violet, what''s wrong with me?" She remembered that she had been taken to the hospital with stomach pains. Why did you suddenly get a stomach ache? That pain is worse than menstrual cramps, it''s horrible. "Josie, you had a miscarriage." Not wanting to lie to her, Violet bit her lip and said. The smile on Josie''s face froze as she stared nkly at Violet, her eyes slowly shifting to Austin. She''s pregnant! Needless to say, the baby is Austin''s. Chapter 466 Chapter 466 She and Austin are having a baby! But the baby was lost without her knowledge! Josie''s eyes turned red inch by inch and her hand covered the small of her back, suddenly tugging tightly. She was so close to bing a mother! But "Josie, I''m sorry." Austin looked at Josie''s reddened eyes, holding back the tears, and his eyes couldn''t help but be scarlet. Violet got up silently as if her throat was blocked and gave way. Austin sat down smoothly and reached out to take Josie''s hand in his. "Josie, it''s my fault, I shouldn''t have sulked with you, I shouldn''t have left you alone, it''s all my fault!" Josie''s tears slipped uncontrobly down her face. A drop, wetting thepel. Austin was heartbroken, softly coaxing, reaching out to wipe away her tears. Josie cries for a moment, takes a deep breath, pulls her hand out of Austin''s and sits up. Austin rushed to help her up and put a pillow behind her as a cushion. "Violet, I remember I only had a bowl of soup and didn''t bump into it, so how did I miscarry?" Her voice was still dark and hoarse from crying. Violet suppressed the sourness inside her and asked, "Josie, are you sure you''ve only had one bowl of soup since this morning?" "Yes, I''m sure." Josie nodded, "I woke up this morning and went to the store without even eating breakfast because I was in a hurry to make my clothes. At noon I just wanted toe and have lunch with you, and when I saw that you had soup there, I was so hungry that I had a bowl of soup first." This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. So it''s really the bowl of soup that''s the problem? Violet''s red lips were pursed and her face was a little ugly. Her previous guess was correct. Someone should be targeting the baby in her belly. Someone didn''t want her to have the baby in her belly. Who could it be? "So it''s this bowl of soup that''s the problem!" Austin''s face got even colder as he pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number and yelled, "Are you dead on the road? Why haven''t you arrived yet?" "I''ve arrived, Mr. Evison." The person on the other end of the phone private restaurant manager, at this time just to the door of the ward, hurriedly sweating and pushed the door in. He was followed by a cook. Austin hung up the phone and looked at the visitor, "Who prepared the ingredients for today''s pork rib and mushroom soup?" "Mr. Evison, I prepared the soup." The chef returned. "What''s in it? Are there ingredients put in that are not good for pregnant women?" Austin asked again. "This" The chef thought about it and said truthfully, "Mr. Evison, pork ribs and mushroom soup is our signature dish, the ingredients are the same every day, and pregnant women are allowed to eat it." "It''s edible? Then why did she lose her baby after drinking this pork rib soup! Your boss''s wife had a miscarriage!" Austin roared. The manager and the chef were frightened, and a fine sweat broke out on their foreheads. "Mr. Evison, there must be a misunderstanding here, our ingredients are carefully selected, there can''t be any problem ah." "Yes, Mr. Evison, I swear, there is absolutely nothing wrong with our ingredients." The two men hastened to exin. Austin''s face was blue and he looked at the two men like they wanted to eat someone. Josie coughed lightly, "Are you a tyrant? So fierce, aren''t things still not clear? What''s the use of being mean to them?" Hearing this, Austin''s face eased for a few moments. The manager''s cooks on the sidelines all looked at Josie gratefully. It''s the boss''s wife who knows what she''s doing. From now on they have to hold on to the boss''s thighs! "Get back in there and find out for me if something went wrong." Austin didn''t yell again, but his tone was still cold. "Yes yes." The manager and the cook nodded their heads and couldn''t wait to leave the ward. "Violet, you''ve been drinking too, are you okay?" Josie had calmed down by now, and remembering Violet''s pregnancy, she asked in a rush. "I''m fine." Violet''s hand subconsciously brushed the small of her back and shook her head toward her. Josie would understand, knowing that with Austin around, she didn''t want anyone to know about her pregnancy. "Austin, we''ve broken up, go away, it''s good to have Violet here." Chapter 467 Chapter 467 Hearing Josie''s words, Austin''s sword brows knitted. "Josie, I am not going to leave, I am going to stay and take care of you." She had just lost her child, and as the child''s father, he had a duty and obligation to take care of her. "Austin, I repeat, we are broken up and I don''t need your care." Josie''s fingers curled up and she looked away from him. He and she are probably just meant to be together. Even two people can''t keep their children. "Josie, the breakup was unterally brought up by you, I didn''t agree to it. So, now you are still my girlfriend." Austin took hold of her shoulders and forced her to look at herself. Josie choked, "Austin, don''t you have any self-respect? I dumped you and you have to pester me like a licking dog?" She doesn''t need a creature like a boyfriend! She doesn''t want to be hurt again! Austin, can you please stay away from her! "Josie, do you hate me that much? Do you have to dislike me with such mean words?" Austin tightened his grip on her shoulders and looked straight at her. Josie''s fingers tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, clenching her jaw. The atmosphere was stagnant, Violet sighed slightly in her heart, and was about to say a few words of advice when Austin''s phone rang. Austin let go of Josie and pulled out his phone and looked at it. It was the doctor from theboratory department who called. "Mr. Evison, theb results are back, and the residue has a significant amount of saffron in it." Saffron ingredients? Austin wrinkled his eyebrows, "Couldn''t this ingredient cause adverse reactions to pregnant women?" "Yes, if an ordinary person takes it does not cause serious harm, but if a pregnant woman takes it, it can cause a miscarriage." The doctor''s words made Austin''s face cloudy. He hung up the phone and saw Josie and Violet both looking at him with burning eyes. "Theb doctor called. The soup you drank had saffron in it, and this ingredient can cause a pregnant woman to miscarry." Who put this stuff in the soup! Why do you want to do this! Violet and Josie looked at each other with surprise shing in their eyes. "How could there be something like this in the soup? If it wasn''t put there by someone in the hotel, who could have put it there?" Josie murmured. Something shed through Violet''s mind and her fingers suddenly tugged tight. The soup was ordered for her by Natalie. It was also Natalie who served it to her. If no one in the hotel is a problem, then only Natalie is suspicious! But she has no grudge against her, why would she want to hurt the child in her belly! "I''m hungry, go get me something to eat." Josie rubbed her belly and differed Austin. She had something to say to Violet alone, so she had to get Austin out of the way. "Okay, I''ll go get food." Austin gave her a look, his dark eyes moved slightly, and without asking any more questions, he turned and left the ward. As soon as the door closed, Josie looked over at Violet, "Violet, why do I get the feeling that someone is trying to get you to miscarry?" Hearing this, Violet looked apologetic, "Josie, I''m sorry, the whole thing does seem to have been directed at me. I didn''t think it would hurt you." If she hadn''t thrown up after the soup, I think the baby in her belly would have been gone by now. "Who the hell is trying to hurt you?" Josie was overwhelmed by the thought of her lost child. Just because she doesn''t want to get married, doesn''t mean she doesn''t want children. Violet looked over at her and asked, "Josie, I told only you about my pregnancy. What about you? Did you tell anyone else?" This matter should be well investigated, to put it mildly. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. The person who put something in the soup didn''t seem to want to harm her. Just trying to get her to miscarry. The purpose is so clear that she should know she is pregnant. So, by finding out the person who knew she was pregnant, we would know who put saffron in the soup. "I''m not a loudmouth, and I didn''t tell anyone about your pregnancy." Josie''s eyebrows knitted together as she thought back in detail. Chapter 468 Chapter 468 "Really no? Could it have been an idental slip of the tongue?" Violet hesitantly cautioned. "No!" Josie thought and thought about it, and something suddenly shed through her mind. "Come to think of it, Natalie was right behind me when I got your call, I don''t know if she heard it." Natalie! It should be her! Violet''s face was a little hard to read. "If the employees in the hotel are not suspect, then this is Natalie''s doing." The whole thing is connected, she is most suspicious. "Natalie? Why did she do that? Why did she make you miscarry?" This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Josie''s eyes widened in disbelief, "Is it because of her sister Dolly? Did her sister Dolly put her up to this? Just because you got Isaac to fire her earlier?" Hearing these words, Violet''s red lips tightened. "I don''t know, Josie, it''s just spection on our part, there''s no evidence at this point that this has anything to do with Natalie." Doorway. Austin did not leave, but listened to the conversation between the two men in his ears. He was a little shocked by Josie''s remark that someone was going to cause you to miscarry. Violet is also pregnant? Then whose child is she carrying? Austin left the room and pulled out his cell phone to call Louis. Violet is not a watery woman. He guessed that the baby in her belly should be Louis''. Gotta tell him about this! Really, a mistake into a thousand bones hate. It''s all because he talked too much and let Louis get close to Violet in a different capacity. Because of this decision, not only did it cause him and his girlfriend to disagree, but now it has caused his girlfriend to miscarry. He so wanted to smack himself in the mouth. Austin ground his teeth and yelled as Louis picked up the phone, "Louis, give my son back his life!" Louis is at The Johnson Group on the other end of the line. Hearing the roar of this crazy batch, he frowned and moved the phone a little further away from his ear. "What for? Are you possessed?" Return his son''s life? Does Austin have a son? "I''m not evil, I''m crazy! Louis, you''ve screwed me over! How did I make such a bad friend of yours?" Austin had a chagrined look on his face. "If you don''t talk properly, I''m hanging up." Louis didn''t have a good warning. "And you''re threatening me? I''m telling you, if you hang up on me, I guarantee you''ll regret it for the rest of your life." Toot The phone was hung up after the tone. Austin got into his car and grimaced breathlessly. Then sent a message over, "Violet is in the hospital right now." Three, two, one! The phone rang. Don''t call here and ask if you can. Austin deliberately hung someone out to dry and waited for the phone to ring for a while before slowly picking up the phone. "Hello?" "How did Violet end up in the hospital?" "Huh? What did you say? I can''t hear you." Austin started the car and yed crazy. Louis does not squeak, even if you can not see the person, you can feel the coldness flowing in the current. Austin was angry enough and did not dare to mess with him again. He squared his shoulders, "Louis, Violet may be pregnant. Someone tried to get rid of the baby in her belly and ended up killing my baby by mistake." Louis: "" Chapter 469 Chapter 469 Violet went back to Sky Shopping Mall without waiting for Austin to return to the hospital room. She wanted to find Natalie to ask if she put the saffron in the soup. If so, why would she do that? At this time, because the studio had just opened, her makeup counter was busy. Some of the employees were introducing products and some were applying makeup for customers. Violet stood quietly a short distance away, watching Natalie, who was busy in her work clothes. She looked no different than usual. Treating customers with enthusiasm and good business skills. Is it really her? At that moment, a male customer came in the counter. He and Natalie gestured to something and Natalie took a lipstick out of the counter and gave it to him. The man identally touched her hand when he took it. Natalie''s eyebrows instantly wrinkled, then drew aside a wet wipe, unable to wipe her just touched by the man''s ce. The disgust on her face was clearly written. Violet narrowed her eyes, pondering. Thinking back to the previous point, something shed through Violet''s mind. Natalie is disgusted by the approach of men. On top of that, she often looks at herself with a hint of burning affection. It is admiration and adoration Does it mean that Natalie likes women! And unfortunately, she''s the one Natalie likes! Violet''s eyes widened, taken aback by this guess of her own. Will this be the case? If that''s true, then the reason she had to abort herself was that she didn''t want to be tied to any man? So, when she happened to hear the news of her pregnancy from Josie''s mouth, she was furious. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. So they put saffron in her soup. When she thought of the scene at noon when Natalie had served herself soup several times and seemed eager to get herself to drink it, she was more and more sure of her suspicions. Natalie this is a freak love ah. Why is she obsessed with herself? Violet just felt goose bumps all around her body and couldn''t help but take a step backwards. There was a puddle of water behind him, Violet didn''t care, her foot slipped and she stumbled backwards. "Watch out." The man held her in one hand. Violet, stunned, looked sideways and touched Louis'' burning gaze. Deep and rolling, with an unreadable eagerness. "Mr. Johnson." Violet stood up straight and straightened her dress. Louis looked at her steadily for a long time, and then pulled her out. Violet froze and asked, "Mr. Johnson, let go of me, where are you taking me?" "Go to the hospital." Going to the hospital? "Mr. Johnson, I didn''t fall down, I don''t need to go to the hospital." Violet looked suspicious and said in a hurry. Louis did not say anything, but forcefully took her to the car. Violet was confused and watched as the man started the car and headed straight for the hospital. "Mr. Johnson, what exactly are you taking me to the hospital for? To see a patient? Who is sick? Is it Grandma who is sick?" That was the only possibility she could think of. Louis remained silent, but the hand holding the steering wheel tugged slightly tighter, seemingly through a hint of tension. Violet looked and looked,pletely unable to figure out what he meant. Does this man have to be so deep? Forget it, we should know what he''s up toter. Violet stopped talking and her eyes fell outside. Louis nced at her, something shining in his deep eyes. Is she really pregnant? The baby must be his! Because during this time, he was the only one who had close contact with her under the alias Hendrix. He wanted to make sure she was pregnant or not. If it is true that she is pregnant, then he will immediately remarry her! Chapter 470 Chapter 470 Inexplicably, the heart crossed with excitement and nervousness. It''s more stressful than talking to someone about a big order of hundreds of millions of dors. The car stopped in the hospital parking lot. Getting out of the car, Louis took Violet to the elevator. Violet watched the elevator stop on the fourth floor, and the suspicion in her eyes increased. On the fourth floor is the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Why did he bring her here? What surprised her even more was that a long line of medical staff greeted Louis when she saw him appear. "Mr. Johnson, you''re here." "Well, take her in for a checkup." Louis sent Violet toward the pile of medical staff who, with respectful faces, nked her and headed for the department. Violet was dumbfounded the whole time. "No, I''m not sick, I don''t need to be checked!" What is Louis doing? Why did you bring her to the OB/GYN? And it was made so grand. It''s like she''s going to have a baby! Half an hourter, the chief obstetrician and gynecologist came out from inside. "Mr. Johnson, Miss Elliott is pregnant. Other than that, everything is physically normal." She''s really pregnant! It''s true! Louis looked at Violeting out of the section with a deeper, darker glow in his eyes. Violet''s face is very red, and I don''t know if it''s shy or annoyed. These doctors did a series of tests despite her objections. Finally came up with a result she already knew. She is pregnant. She''s pregnant, she''s pregnant, but why are these people reporting to Louis? Did Louis bring her here for a test to make sure she was pregnant or not? What does it matter to him if she is pregnant or not? What is he so excited about? Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. No, where did he know about his pregnancy? Violet was lost in thought when she caught Louis'' burning gaze, she steadied herself and said, "Mr. Johnson, you brought me here for a test, do you know I''m pregnant?" Whatever his purpose, that''s the truth anyway. I think he should be even more disappointed in himself and want to distance himself. "You''re pregnant with this baby." Louis hesitated slightly, wondering if he should tell Violet the truth. "Yes, I''m pregnant, Mr. Johnson, and I''ll be marrying the father of my child soon." Violet looked at Louis'' deep eyes, thought of the thoughts she had about herself before, and said this with a ruthless heart. If she had married another man, he would have beenpletely dead to her, right? Louis'' breath hitched slightly and he stared at Violet with burning eyes, "What did you say? Say that again?" "I said, I will marry the father of my child soon." Violet''s brushed up against the small of her back and repeated it again. "Have you really decided to marry the father of your child? Do you swear that you will never regret it?" Louis steps up to the te. "Yes, Mr. Johnson, may I go now?" I don''t know why, but Violet feels a little weird about Louis now. She was a little scared. Afraid he''d escort her to an abortion. "Violet, actually, I am Hendrix, Hendrix is me." Louis put a deeper tone, a pull to go Violet, suddenly burst out a sentence. Violet''s footsteps were halted and her head snapped sideways to look at him, her eyes full of disbelief. "What did you say? You''re Hendrix?" "Yes, I am Hendrix." Louis pulled out his other phone and tapped his chat interface with her. Violet looked fixedly at the phone interface, only to feel ridiculous to the extreme. Louis is Hendrix? Hendrix is Louis? Some people, do they find this particrly fun? Chapter 471 Chapter 471 Violet couldn''t tell what she was feeling. Louis approached her in a different capacity, knowing full well that she had been trying to distance herself from him. Isn''t it especially fun to watch her get yed? "What do you take me for? You rich people are so vicious." Violet was furious and left as soon as she flung him away. "Violet, you just said that you would marry the child''s real father, do you want to back out?" Louis pulled her back and asked in a deep voice. "I didn''t think the father of the child was a false character, so what I just said doesn''t count." Violet looked indignant and broke away from him with great force. Louis pulled her in again and dialed out at the same time. "Grandma, Violet is pregnant and the baby is mine." Violet: "" This man, can not have a face! If you can''t get it right, do you ask your parents? Is his name three years old? Louis'' mouth curled into a smile as he handed her the phone, "Grandma wants to talk to you." "Louis!" Howe she never found such a cheeky side to this man? Isn''t it the high and mighty president? Shouldn''t she have left high and dry after being rejected? Violet took a deep breath, pressed down the breath inside her and picked up the phone. "Grandma." She could say no to Louis, but she couldn''t say no to Maria. "Violet, you''re really pregnant?" Maria''s tone was full of surprise. "Grandma, I" "Great, I''ll have my aunt clean up the room, and you and Erin will go back to the Johnson Manor tonight." What! Maria should not be in such a hurry. "Grandma, I" "Well, that''s it for now, we''ll see you in a bit." Maria hung up the phone straight away without a word. Violet bit her lip, speechless for a moment. She''s pregnant with Louis'' baby, so she''ll have to check into the Johnson Manor again? What about the promised celibacy? On the side, Louis took the phone away and smiled with his eyebrows, "Come on, let''s go pick up Luka and Erin." There was a touch of pleasure in his tone, but it made Violet even more angry. "Mr. Johnson, could you please show me some respect? I don''t really want anything to do with you, and you''ve always known that." "So what? Now that you''re pregnant with my child, are you going to abort him or what?" This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Louis asked calmly, looking as if he had a winning hand. Violet choked and wanted to say that she was born and raised on her own, without his care. But she also knew that the words were just a bet. She is carrying the Johnson family''s seed, how could the Johnson family leave him alone? Violet was exasperated and annoyed with the feeling of being led by the nose. If Louis was really Hendrix, a normal person, maybe she wouldn''t be so upset. Marriage is marriage, the two slowly develop feelings, and then together to raise children. But Hendrix is Louis! His family is strong, his situation isplicated, and most importantly, he has a Grace by his side. That''s Luka''s real mother, how is he going to handle his rtionship with her? No matter how it was handled, she was too annoyed. She just wants to live a simple life! "Violet, believe me, this time, I will run our married life properly." Louis looked at Violet''s tense, pretty face and held her hand tightly. The man''s eyes are deep and charming, like a deep pool, which seems to be able to make people fall deep in the next second. Chapter 472 Chapter 472 His tone was gentle with a hint of determination that made people want to believe. Violet''s fingers curled up, suppressing the little stirring inside, and don''t say a word as she looked away. The unproductive her seemed to be easily convinced by him. Is he nning to remarry her? Extraordinarily mixed emotions! Ever since Marcus and Jasmine got their license, Grace has made up her mind and ns to fake it and throw herself into Louis'' arms. After all, she is the child''s biological mother. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. Louis has divorced Violet, and with a little more effort, she''ll be able to take the throne of the hostess of Johnson family. So, she ns to start over and continue her route of being a good wife and mother, starting with the children. As long as the child listens to her, I believe Louis will get in the way of the child''s existence and marry her. With that in mind, Grace was ready to pick up Luka at the end of kindergarten. From the Pce Hotel, she went to the underground parking lot. Vaguely, she felt as if someone was following her behind her. Grace took a step and looked back. But there was no one behind them. Probably she is too sensitive. As Grace walked, she took her car keys out of her bag and headed for her car. There was a reflection of the bodywork across the street and she clearly saw behind her a man in ck approaching her at a fast pace. It''s not her illusion. It''s true that someone is following her! Grace''s heart jumped, and just as she turned around, her mouth and nose were covered. The exciting smell came to Grace''s head and she slowly fell into darkness. Violet was forced to get into Louis'' car and then the two of them went to pick up their children from kindergarten together. Looking at the approaching kindergarten, Violet was inexplicably a little nervous thinking about Luka''s little friend. The boy has always been fond of himself, but he has a real mother. If she does remarry Louis, then she will be his stepmother. An aunt and a stepmother are not the same. He may not feel how when he is young, but he will grow up one day. If he had a sound mind, would he feel that she broke up his parents'' marriage? Will they hate their presence? Will it stop being close to her? It''s a headache to think about. Violet sighed, a little annoyed and restless. A warmth on the hand, the man''s warm touch instantly wrapped over. Violet had anger in her heart and broke away from him with force. The car slowly stopped at the side of the road, Louis bullying over, hands on either side, to circle her in it. "Still angry?" The man''s voice was the usual maic one. Violet didn''t want to pay attention to him and reached out to push against his chest. "You sit up straight and talk properly." Louis hooked his lips and reached out to cut her hands behind her back, bringing her even closer into himself. "Violet, I don''t really like to lie to people because it''s not necessary. And you, you''re the first person I''ve ever tried to fool through a lie to get to my side." The man''s eyes are as deep as ink, and the hot air he exhaled spurts on her face, stirring up a crispy itch that spreads to all the limbs. Violet''s heart was pounding without a hitch. She suppressed the heaving heartbeat and said with a strained neck, "Oh, I''ve never seen lying and cheating described so refreshingly. Shouldn''t I be ttered?" What he means is that he went to a lot of trouble to get her back to him, and she has to be grateful to him! "I don''t need you to be ttered, I just want you to take it to heart." Louis reached out a hand and cupped her tiny chin, "Violet, you really can''t feel my love for you?" The man''s scent lingered at the end of her nose. The upturned tail note is as intoxicating as a good wine brew. Violet''s throat tightened a little. Watch the man''s thin lips slowly approach Chapter 473 Chapter 473 p, p, p, someone is knocking on the car door. Violet was startled, suddenly snapped back to her senses, and hastily pushed away the man who was close at hand. The heat on your face spreads to the back of your ears. She took a deep breath and reached up to fix the hair around her ear. This man, there is always the capital of confusion. Watching her blush, Louis hooked his lips in a good mood. Pulling the car door open, he found his own son standing outside. He was followed by Erin. The two children''s big, dark eyes looked at themselves, shining like stars in a dark night. "Dad." Luka called out to her father. He spotted his own dad''s car right in front of the school. Waiting for half a day did not see him get out of the car to pick himself up, can only walk over themselves. "Uncle Louis." Erin was delighted to see Louis and called out sweetly to Uncle Louis. Louis hmmed and curled his lips to pick her up. "Erin, Luka ." Violet also got down from the passenger side and called out to the two kids, a little awkwardly. They must have wondered why she was in the car. "It''s mommy!" Erin''s eyes widened with surprise, "Mommy, why are you in Uncle Louis'' car? Did youe together?" Luka, who also had a glint in her eye, waited for Violet''s answer. Violet smiled dryly, somewhat pardonably. Louis took the lead, "Well, from today on, you and your mommy are staying with Luka." At those words, Erin''s wide eyes widened. "Mommy, is it true what Uncle Louis said? Are we going to live in Uncle Louis'' house?" The smile on Violet''s face narrowed slightly as she looked at Louis and said, "Mr. Johnson, I did not agree to this." "This is Grandma''s request, can you bear to refuse?" Louis raised an eyebrow and threw out the killer. Violet''s fingers curled up, thinking of Maria''s loving, smiling face, and was a little deted. "Dad, are you going to marry Auntie Violet?" Luka asked with a gleam in her eye. "Hmm." Louis carried Erin into the back seat of the car, the corners of his mouth staying hooked. Luka looked at Violet and wanted to ask his dad if Auntie Violet already knew his other identity. "Mommy''s marrying Uncle Louis, huh? Hee hee, it''s still Uncle Louis who''s good enough to beat Uncle Hendrix." Erin pped her little hands with a look of excitement. Violet had just gotten into the passenger seat when she heard this and gave Louis a mocking look. Louis coughed lightly, "Erin, actually, I''m Uncle Hendrix." Although he fooled the little guy, his intentions were good. The result was also sessful. "Huh? What did you say, Uncle Louis? You''re Uncle Hendrix, but your faces don''t look alike?" Erin''s eyes widened in disbelief. "Erin, there is something called a human skin mask, which is made of a special material that is applied to a person''s face as if they were a different person." Luka exined for Louis in an aside. It seems that Auntie Violet already knows the truth. "There is still such a thing of bleh? You know a lot, brother." Erin looked amazed. Luka, who wasplimented, sat up straight with a proud face. His body stiffened just as he touched the gaze Violet was casting at him. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. The way Auntie Violet looked at him was kind of meaningful. Probably ming him for lying to her in conjunction with her dad. "Auntie Violet, I''m sorry." Luka meekly apologizes. Violet looked back at him again, "Luka , did you already know that?" "No, it was that time Dad pretended to be Uncle Hendrix to take us to the yground that I found out." Luka replied truthfully. Violet nodded, thinking of the little one''s subsequent reaction, and was heartened. Chapter 474 Chapter 474 No wonder since that time, the little one is talking about setting the two of them up together. It turned out that he knew that Louis was Hendrix. It''s only her fault for being too slow. "Auntie Violet, will you forgive me?" Luka asked cautiously. Violet looked back and smiled gently, "I don''t me you." She would only me some immoral man. Luka is relieved. Looks like he''s going to have a new mom! Happy! The other side. Grace moved her body and slowly opened her eyes. Into the eyes of the unfamiliar beams, surrounded by a small space, only a modest window, prating a few rays of light. Where here? What''s wrong with her? Kidnapped? Grace''s eyes widened and the scene before thea shed through her mind. Someone followed her and brought her here. "Uh-huh." Her mouth was gagged and her hands and feet were tied. Who kidnapped her? Why? Who did she offend! "Awake?" The door was pushed open and someone walked in from outside. The visitor is not tall, twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. There were five or six men who came in with them. Each of them is flowing, a look is not a serious person. Grace''s eyes were filled with panic and her body unconsciously shrank back. The man at the head of the group slowly walked up to her and squatted down, tearing the tape off her mouth. Grace endured the pain and asked, "Who are you people? Why do you want to arrest me?" C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org. The man smiled coldly and cupped her chin, "You''re Louis'' woman?" Louis'' woman? Why did he ask that? Seeing the fierce lighting out of his eyes when he mentioned Louis, could he be Louis'' enemy? "Who the hell are you?" Grace''s jaw ate the pain and asked again. "What am I, you ask? I am the man who hase to take revenge on your man!" The man''s eyes were ruthless, and he grabbed her long hair. "Louis caused my dad to jump to his death, my grandfather died of a heart attack because of my dad''s death. Louis, I''m going to make him regret it today!" There was a burst of pain in her scalp, and Grace was frightened and scared. "It''s none of my business! If you want to find it, you should go to Louis for revenge, so let me go." Is he really Louis'' enemy? But why did she have to be approached! She and Louis don''t have a rtionship, okay? "Let you go? Ha ha! You are the hostess of Johnson family. if I move you, give Louis Dai one he will not be angry!" The man''s eyes shed with a touch of madness and he unceremoniously grabbed at her breast. Grace was in pain and fear, "No, what do you want? I''m telling you the truth, Louis doesn''t love me, and I didn''t give birth to his son. The person he loves is named Violet, and his son is also born to her. Why is that! She is just a stand-in for an impostor, she has not yet enjoyed the blessings, but she is going to be retributed? "Yo, you are smart, afraid that we will move you, lies open mouth ah!" The man patted Grace''s face with a sneer, "You think we don''t know that Louis divorced that Violet for you! If he loved Violet, how could he have divorced her?" "Really, what I said is true, you have to believe me!" Grace had an anxious look on her face. The man snorted coldly and ripped her clothes off with one hand, "Cut the crap. Woman, don''t me me, if you want to me, me you for being Louis'' woman! Brothers, serve her well." "No, let go of me, help." Chapter 475 Chapter 475 the Johnson Manor. Maria burst intoughter. "Violet, you''re still my the Johnson after all. i''ll have someone find an auspicious day tomorrow to get Louis and you remarried." Hearing this, Violet wanted to say something but did not. "Grandma, I" "What, you still won''t remarry? You''re having Louis'' baby." Maria took Violet''s hand, "Violet, are you afraid that we, the Johnson family, will treat Erin badly when you marry in? Don''t worry, we will all treat Erin as the Johnson family''s little princess." Maria had a loving face, and Violet sighed inwardly. "It''s not because of that." She knew, of course, that Maria loved Erin. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. If she does marry Louis, the Johnson family should not treat their daughter badly. That''s not what she''s worried about, but because she''s not ready to marry Louis again. It was just too sudden. "It''s not because of that, then what is it? Is it because you''re worried about Luka?" Maria is a thorough person and seems to be dispelling her doubts one by one. "Violet, Luka has always been fond of you, and I believe that you will treat him as your own in the future. As for his mother''s ce, you need not worry even more, as I said before, Louis'' daughter-in- A statement that softened Violet''s heart. She moved her lips, not knowing what to say. Maria looked at her low brows and obedient appearance, old eyes shed, sighed and said, "Hey, Violet, ah, my health is getting worse every year, and I don''t know if I can see the birth of my great- grandson." Violet froze and said in a rush, "Grandma, you will live a long life." "If you can agree to remarry Louis, I''m sure I''ll live a few more years once I''m in a happy mood." Violet: "" Maria is ying the emotion card again. "Grandma, I''ll go to the kitchen and help get something to eat." Violet was a bit teary-eyed and could only change the subject. "You are heavy, so you won''t have to do this kind of rough work in the future." "Grandma, it''s only been two months, I don''t feel it yet." "The first three months are the most important." "" Listen to the two have a conversation, did not speak the whole time Louis quietly stood aside as the invisible man. He knew that Violet still had a knot in her heart, and it was good to have her grandmother there. Even if she is reluctant to remarry him, she will not refute her grandmother''s face. This time, he won''t let go of her hand easily! The phone rings. It''s your own phone ringing. He nced at the caller ID and walked outside to answer the phone. "Harry." "Mr. Johnson, Marcus did not divorce Jasmine as we predicted, and he met with Zakaria on Jasmine''s introduction." Harry spoke up and reported. Louis'' dark eyes narrowed slightly, "Marcus is a profit-oriented person, Jasmine is a civilian, there''s no way he won''t divorce her, it seems Zakaria has something Marcus wants there?" "It should be." Harry said, "I checked out Zakaria again and found out that he recently hitched a ride with the Mara family in charge. I think the reason Marcus didn''t divorce Jasmine had something to do with it." Hearing this, a hint of surprise shed in Louis'' eyes. He is no stranger to the Mara family and has heard that they will be looking for partners across the country in the near future. He was surprised to see how someone like Zakaria could climb into such a powerful family. "Did you find out how he got on board the Mara family boat?" "Check it out." Harry returned, "I heard that one of his nieces became the new favorite of the Mara family in power." So that''s it. Louis was thoughtful, "Well, I get it." "Mr. Johnson, it doesn''t look like Marcus is going to fall so soon, and my mission doesn''t seem to be
