"Violet? Violet!" Victor kept calling Violet and looking for her in every corner of the apartment, but she wasn't anywhere and wasn't answering his calls."She left?" Victor asked, then hurriedly grabbed his cell phone and sighed as he remembered that he didn't have Violet's cell phone number. "Shit! Where did she go? Did she go back to her house? Or did she go back to Malcom?"Victor furrowed his brow, like someone in a panic. "If I remember what she said, it looks like she went back to Malcom. Is she out of her mind? That man could have ruined her life!"Victor left again, heading for Violet's apartment. Even though he had a feeling that Violet wouldn't be there, he went anyway to make sure, then sighed in disappointment when the apartment was the same as the last time they'd left it-and Violet wasn't there."Damn, this is getting troublesome!" Victor punched the old couch and sat down to calm himself. If it weren't for his system's commands, Victor probably wouldn't want to put him
"You better not do this if you don't want to regret it."Violet opened her eyes and immediately moved away when she heard the voice."Victor?""Wow, you remember my voice?" Victor took off his mask and startled Violet even more."What are you doing here? Do you want to die?""I should be the one asking you that. Do you want to die? Why did you go back to that madman?" Violet said nothing. "I went to the trouble of saving you only to see you return so easily to the trouble himself?""I never asked to be saved."Victor sighed and rolled his eyes. "That's how you always answer. I don't know what makes you this stupid." Victor glanced at Violet, who looked anxious. "I want to make sure of one thing; are you working in a place like this because you have no money at all?"Violet stared at Victor, confirming his assumption."You're Antonio Leighton's daughter, lack of money is a very unlikely thing to happen to you, isn't it? Unless you're an unconsidered and uncared-for child like me. But y
Victor was silent with a tense face. He didn't move at all, afraid that the slightest movement would make Malcom let loose a shot to his head."You're still? Unlike you a few minutes ago who punched me in the face and ruined my party," Malcom said, mockingly. Then he pulled Victor's hair. "Is this your natural hair color or did you dye your blonde hair just to disguise yourself?" asked Malcom.Victor was in pain and clutching his head, but Malcom kicked him so hard that he fell to the ground."You went to all this trouble just to take Violet away. Are you that fond of your sister, Victor?" Malcom asked, moving closer to Violet."Don't touch Violet-"BANG!Victor stopped dead in his tracks as Malcom fired a single shot into the ground in front of him, proving that he wasn't joking." Do you think I can't shoot you, brat? I won't even hesitate to kill you right here if you want.""Don't kill him, Malcom," Violet said, pleading fearfully.Malcom gave her a cold stare and crouched down ne
"How can it be like this?" Victor mumbled and didn't understand. So the system gave him the task of saving Violet, because Violet was the best assistant the system had chosen for him?"Are you forgetting who you are?" Violet asked from the couch where she was casually sitting and drinking. "Your face looks tense and confused.""Oh... so, you are here...?""If I had gone to Malcom's place, you would have acted crazy and faced Malcom like a mad dog again.""That time I think I hit him ....""Malcom is still alive.""Fyuh... ah, why am I grateful?""Be thankful that he's not dead, or you'd be arrested in this place," Violet said."You're right."As Victor got out of bed, he looked in the mirror and checked his condition. The wound on his face had been treated and the swelling wasn't as bad as he thought."Are you treating me?" Victor asked."I don't know how to treat people. I called a doctor here.""That's very kind of you. This time, you care about me.""The bill is on the table. I fig
Another grand party was held at Leighton mansion. The party that was attended by extraordinary people was Verlaine and Maria's party.Yes, today was their wedding day.After taking the wedding vows, Verlaine and Maria officially became husband and wife. They looked jubilant, everyone in attendance was also happy to see them.But there was one person who looked calm and cold, there was no smile that showed happiness or interest in celebrating the happiness of the bride and groom in front of there."That sucks," Victor said, taking a glass of the finest wine from the waiter's tray. He looked straight and hard at Verlaine, but his gaze became soft and blue when he saw Maria's happy face. "It's very annoying, because you still look so fine in my eyes after what you did, Maria...."Victor again felt annoyed, disappointed, and sad when he saw Maria. He was reminded of the betrayal of his beloved lady.But Victor hadn't come to cry over Maria's marriage. Victor glanced at his watch and asked
Violet was stunned, confused by the question her father had asked. As she thought about it, she realized that the look on Antonio's face showed no enthusiasm or longing. Unlike her mother, Sahara, who immediately called Violet's name loudly."Violet! My daughter~" Violet turned her head to see her mother hurrying over and seemingly cutting through the line of people, only to approach Violet and hug her tightly."Oh my, my daughter is finally home. I can finally see you again."Sahara looked very happy and tearful at Violet's presence. She stroked Violet's hair and her embrace felt very tight and warm. Violet could feel the overwhelming longing in that embrace, and her mother's voice was trembling slightly.But right now Violet couldn't even express her longing for her mother, because she still felt confused and wondered about what kind of reaction her father had given her earlier? It was far from what Violet expected, because she thought Antonio would do the same thing Sahara was doin
Violet was in a group conversation. After her arrival was welcomed by her family, she joined the party as it was supposed to occur.Violet wasn't like Veneza, Vivian or her other sisters who were famous in socialite circles and had many connections. But just like a Leighton, Violet was either quite famous or people approached her on purpose because she was a Leighton."They're just sweet-talking people trying to get my attention," Violet thought, smiling faintly at her table mates. "I don't even know any of them, why do they keep holding me up with idle chatter?"Violet had been wanting to leave for a while, especially when she was feeling pressured by her own thoughts. She kept glancing over to where Victor was, for some reason. But when she turned around for the umpteenth time, she saw Antonio standing near Victor.Violet's eyes narrowed for a moment, not expecting to see such a sight since she knew how cold Victor and their father's relationship was. They seemed to be talking, not
Everyone was stunned and amazed by the fantastic gift Victor had given to Maria, especially since they knew who Victor was and how poor he was.They wondered; how could a man who was known to be poor and had no influence over anything, be able to give such a fantastic gift to his ex-girlfriend? Did he suddenly get rich overnight?Moreover, people were also curious about Maria's reaction. She was silent and dumbfounded, with the jewelry and diamonds falling to cover the bottom of her wedding dress. She certainly didn't expect to receive such a fantastic gift, even from the man she left a few months ago."What the hell is this? Does he want to intentionally offend me?" asked Maria, holding back her annoyance. Even so, she couldn't lie that the jewelry and diamonds in front of her looked very beautiful and sparkling.But would she accept the things Victor gave her? How would people respond? Maria thought that the people here were still the same people who had witnessed her dumping Victor
