Chapter 272
She was sitting on the bed with joy written all over her face.
Five years ago, her stepmother Alexa's brother Peter Rodriguez took off with nearly half a billion dollars
from the Dennis Group.
After blowing most of the money, Peter got greedy and thought he could get more from the Dennis
Group.
But this time, instead of getting another half a billion, he was in for some serious legal trouble!
Just now, the cop in charge of the case called her and told her that Peter was already on a flight back
home. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
The police had set up an ambush at the airport.
As soon as Peter's flight landed, they'd arrest him.
She'd been waiting for this moment for years!
After hanging up, she couldn't calm her excitement.
She wanted to share the good news with her friends, but it was 3 a.m., and she couldn't bother them
now.
She got out of bed, left her bedroom, and headed to the kitchen.
Opening the fridge, she saw a few cans of beer.
She grabbed a beer and sat down in the living room.
4 a.m.
The Bourne family.
Elijah's phone rang.
He awoke from his sleep.
Frowning, he grabbed his phone.
He thought he was seeing things when he saw Violette's name.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at the screen again.
He wasn't mistaken. It was Violette calling.
He sat up, not thinking, and answered the call.
She must have something serious going on if she was calling at this hour.
They usually didn't even talk when they saw each other. There's no way she'd call unless something
was wrong.
"Hello... Elijah? Happy birthday!" Violette's tipsy voice came through, Elijah relaxed and then tensed up
again.
She was drunk!
She wasn't in trouble!
But why was she drunk at this hour?
Wasn't she at home?
If she were at home, she wouldn't be this drunk.
"Violette, why'd you drink so much?" He frowned.
"I'm wishing you a happy birthday, why are you mad at me?" Violette crushed the beer can as she
spoke.
"My birthday's over." Elijah reminded her, then asked, "Why'd you drink? What happened? Where are
you? Tell me the address!"
He got out of bed.
He walked to the closet and grabbed a change of clothes.
"Haha! I'm at home! Guess why I'm so happy?" Violette lost her reason, letting her joy pour out
unrestrained.
Hearing her delightful laughter, he sat back down on the bed.
He could tell she was genuinely happy.
But he couldn't guess why.
"Violette, I haven't heard you laugh in a long time." His voice was low and sexy.
Her smile froze, and she felt as if they were still madly in love.
Her head suddenly throbbed with pain.
She threw all the beer cans into the trash and got up from the sofa, heading to her bedroom.
"Elijah... I called you... to wish you a happy birthday."
"You already said that."
"Oh... then I wish for you to have a baby soon."
Elijah just listened to her ramblings without getting mad. "No need."
"Don't want kids? Then I'll wish for you to make a lot of money!" Violette stumbled her way back to the
bedroom and collapsed on the bed.
Her breathing and body were heavy.
Listening to her breathing, Elijah suddenly had an idea.
He had a question for her.
"Violette, the child you were pregnant with back then, our child, did you really have an abortion?" He
asked softly.
Ian looked a bit like him and had the same personality flaws as Makayla.
He always thought of Ian.
If their child wasn't aborted back then, their child's age would match Ian's.
