Chapter 40
“Please leave. Ms. Naomi George said. He had already made a mistake by letting Naomi slip among
the ranks of people in charge of bringing the starving dogs over.
Naomi gave Violet a longing look, but did not say anything else and just left while filled with worry.
When Violet saw her gaze, she felt touched again.
“Let me send her off.”
Lucius did not say no and let Violet do as she wished.
The bikini lady stomped her feet in frustration. She had thought that Violet would be done for after
pulling her needle out, but Naomi just had to show up!
“Darling, they don’t respect you at all” she said.
Lucius nodded and gestured at her with his chin. “You should get ready.”
“For?” The bikini lady’s eyes lit up. Her first thought was that Lucius was finally going to acknowledge
her and chase Violet away so that he could marry her.
“Give her to the dogs, Mr. George.”
“What?”
Before the bikini lady could figure out what he meant. George ordered her to be dragged away. He
shook his head in resignation as he listened to her screams. Only stupid people like her would use
such dirty tricks to stay beside Lucius.
Didn’t she know that Lucius hated such women the most?
“Send her away with the dogs before sunset,” Lucius instructed impatiently and strode to the helicopter.
It rose to the air quickly, and he looked down to see the increasingly smaller figures on the ground. The
thinner one was Violet.
He knew from the start that Violet was not the one who pulled the needle out, but pretended not to just
to punish her further. Of course, he also wanted her to give up on seeking death, so that he could
continue punishing her.
Naomi touched Violet’s face and sighed. “Why did you change your face? Your original one was just
fine. You still look pretty, but it feels like you’re no longer my daughter.”
Violet said nothing and just looked down.
Naomi hugged her again. “Why are you so stupid, Agatha? Master Lucius might be busy, but he has
never neglected you. He gave you everything you wanted, so why did you betray him?” She sighed. “I
suppose it’s my fault for always letting you do what you wanted.”
While lecturing Violet, she also reflected on her own actions. This had to be how a good mother should
be.
When she cheated on Patrick, Violet was still a baby. Then, her parents divorced. Patrick took her into
his custody, so Violet did not even remember what her mother looked like.
“Don’t worry. Master Lucius isn’t as heartless as he appears to be. If you show him that you’re really
sorry. he’ll forgive you.” Naomi smoothed out Violet’s hair like she was her own daughter.
But Violet did not hear a single thing of what she said. She just soaked in Naomi’s warmth like a
starving man
while recalling how Naomi had swung the stick to protect her against the dogs.
Violet hummed and nuzzled against Naomi’s palm.
Then, she waved Naomi goodbye and returned to Imperial Palace. The doctor inserted the IV drip in
her again and cleaned up her wounds. After that. Violet went back to Lucius’s bedroom, cleaned
herself up, and laid
down in her bed.
When midnight arrived, the door creaked open, and Violet woke up with a start. She shot up from the
bed.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
