Chapter 276
"Elijah took him away." Mike pointed in a direction for her.
Violette saw Elijah and Adrian sitting alone at a table.
There were bodyguards nearby.
There was a bottle of wine on their table; were they planning to drink?
Violette frowned.
Adrian didn't drink often, so he must get drunk easily.
Mike teased, "Let's see who gets wasted first."
She almost forgot that Elijah also rarely drank.
"Violette, this is a battle between men, let them drink!" Mike patted her on the shoulder.
She pushed him aside, "It's all your fault!"
"I'll never listen to Joey's nonsense again!" Mike swore.
"There won't be a next time!" Violette walked over to Odette nearby.
Odette gave Mike the middle finger.
Violette hadn't been in contact with Elijah or seen him for a long time. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
It's all Mike's fault for making them meet again tonight.
"Violette, congrats on your skyrocketing worth." Odette handed her a glass of juice. "Whether you can
get the money back or not, at least it put your dad at ease."
Violette nodded, "Yes, I plan to visit my dad's grave tomorrow."
"Sure! You can take the two kids with you. If your dad were still alive, he would be so happy."
Violette thought for two seconds and nodded.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and walked away to answer the call.
After the call, she returned to Odette, "I need to step out for a bit. I'll be back soon."
The call was from Alexa.
She had returned to the country.
After learning about the possible legal consequences Peter might face from the lawyer, she panicked.
So she called Violette, hoping to meet her and talk things through.
The two met at a coffee shop near the hotel.
Alexa looked Violette up and down carefully.
Violette still looked the same as five years ago, but her temperament had changed.
Her eyes were cold and distant.
"Violette, I had nothing to do with my brother’s embezzlement." Alexa took the initiative to break the
silence. "I've been with your dad for so many years, how could I bear to see the Dennis family fall?"
"My dad's already dead, what's the point of talking about this?" Violette tore off her hypocritical mask in
one sentence. "I don't have much time to chat, get to the point."
"Let's settle this privately!" Alexa frowned, stating her intention. "I'll find a way to gather all the money
he took! If he hadn't taken the money, the 500 million dollars would have been for me and Rina! Now
it's all yours, are you satisfied?!"
Alexa's attitude seemed like she was doing Violette a huge favor!
Violette laughed, "Alexa, is your brother worth only 500 million dollars in your eyes? Your companies
abroad make quite a lot, right? It should be at least 1 billion dollars for a possible private settlement."
One billion dollars!
Alexa gasped!
Such a huge sum of money, wasn't that like asking for her life?
Her face twisted, and her hands clenched into fists.
"Violette! Don't be too greedy!"
"Settlement failed, let's go the legal route!" Violette slowly said, standing up from her chair.
Seeing Violette about to leave, a burning flame rose in Alexa's heart.
"Wait! One billion dollars is not a small sum! Let me think about it!" Alexa stood up and negotiated
through gritted teeth.
