Chapter 414
In front of a villa in the forest.
Mike parked the car and headed straight for the front door. He was stopped by Elijah's bodyguard.
"I'm here to pick up Violette," Mike said, "Your boss is dead. Ever thought about who's gonna sign your
paychecks now?"
The bodyguard was left speechless.
Over by the stairs, the nanny was helping Violette downstairs.
She wanted out of this place. Elijah was dead, and she wanted to see him one last time.
Seeing Violette, Mike immediately brushed past the bodyguard and stormed in.
"Violette, I'm taking you home." Mike took Violette's hand from the nanny and guided her carefully.
He helped her into the car and glanced at her legs. She was wearing baggy pajama pants, so he
couldn't see her injuries.
"You were limping earlier. I think you're not fully recovered yet," Mike frowned and started the car.
"We're heading to the hospital first."
Violette clutched the seat belt in front of her chest, feeling empty inside.
"Violette, will his lawyer... give you a hard time?" Mike asked as they drove away.
Mike didn't really like Elijah, because he was awful to Violette and their two kids.
Now that he was dead, and while it was a bit of a shame, Mike didn't want his death to bring any
trouble to Violette.
"I don't know," Violette's voice was low.
Whether the lawyer would come after her was the least of her concerns right now.
"What... happened between you two?" Mike's voice dropped.
This was a heavy topic.
"I don't know." Her head felt heavy. Every time she thought about anything related to him, she felt
suffocated. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
"Did you not sleep at all last night?" Mike noticed her red and swollen eyes, "You should rest for a bit.
You still have two kids to look after. I'll hire the best lawyer. You don't have to worry about anything
else."
Violette closed her eyes, and the image of Elijah's painful and hateful eyes on his deathbed appeared
in her mind.
He said he wouldn't bother her anymore. He hurt her, and she hurt him. He chose to end his life,
maybe because he would have rather died than see her again.

Silverleaf Kindergarten.
During nap time, Ian walked out of the classroom with Rita.
"That bad guy is dead," Ian told his sister about the news he saw.
"Which bad guy? Kaleb... or... Elijah?" Rita asked in shock.
"Elijah," Ian said the name he despised so much.
How could he just suddenly die?
"Ian, is he really dead? Don't lie to me," Rita's eyes welled up with tears.
Ian nodded.
Ian said, "If you feel sad, then let yourself be sad." Reаd at Draмanоvels.com
"Are you sad?" Rita wiped her tears and looked at her brother with bright eyes.
The bruise on Ian's neck hadn't faded yet. Even if he felt sad, he would never show it.
"I'm not sad."
