My Wife Is An All-Around Expert

Chapter 154

Patrick’s handsome face contorted slightly. His voice was rigid. “I was just asking casually. You don’t need to overthink it.” Violet's voice was neither warm nor cold. “Alright, | didn’t overthink it. Mr. Hersey, is there anything else?”

Patrick was furious. He had never felt so upset before. Why did he feel like he was desperate to talk to Violet?

He spoke in a harsh tone, appearing completely indifferent. “I have nothing else. Robert wants to have a gathering tonight. He hopes I'll invite you. Whether you want to go or not, it’s up to you.”

Violet furrowed her brows. “Another drinking session?”

Patrick looked displeased. “What do you mean by another drinking session?”

Violet's tone carried a touch of helplessness. “Mr. Hersey, you were quite drunk last night. You haven't forgotten, have you?” Patrick immediately thought of last night’s events. His voice became somewhat uneasy. “I drank too much last night. Some parts are a blur.” Violet felt even more exasperated. She knew Patrick had definitely forgotten. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be speaking to her so casually today.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

She said, “Mr. Hersey, you had drunk too much last night. Are you planning to attend another drinking session tonight? | had made plans to have dinner with my friends, so | really don’t have time tonight. If you’re going, please try to drink less.”

Patrick’s expression stiffened. “What friends? Do | know them?”

Patrick asked this question again. Violet could not deceive him, so she could only tell the truth. “I’m having dinner with Mr. Brown and Megan.”

It was then that Patrick remembered these three were all graduates of Summerwood University.

His eyes flickered. “Alright, | understand.”.”

After saying this, Patrick hung up the phone without any more words. Violet furrowed her brows but didn’t dwell on

Just as Skyler returned to the office, Violet we?

to find him.

“Mr. Brown, can we terminate Gerald’s contract?” Violet didn’t mention last night's incident. She just briefly explained Gerald’s attitude to Skyler.

Skyler frowned and said, “Terminating this contract would result in significant losses for us unless they choose to terminate it voluntarily.”

Violet felt helpless and hesitated before speaking. “He never intended to order custom jewelry! He...”

Seeing Violet's expression, Skyler furrowed his brow and asked, “Violet, is there something you haven't told me?”

Violet looked at Skyler’s concerned expression. If she didn’t tell the truth, Skyler might not understand just how atrocious Gerald's behavior was.

She pressed her lips together. Then, she said, “Last night, Gerald tricked me into going to a bar. He told me that the jewelry customization was just an excuse. He only wanted to get back at Mr. Hersey by using me. And... if it wasn’t for a friend saving me last night, something might have happened to me. So, | don’t want to continue with the contract.”

Violet explained briefly what had happened last night, but Skyler’s expression darkened. He asked with a hint of anger, “He harassed you last night?”

As aman, Skyler could imagine many things based on Violet’s brief explanation.

He knew what method Gerald would use to harass Violet. If it weren’t for Violet’s good luck, she might not be sitting here safely today.

‘Violet was a highly sought-after designer at Foreverie Jewelry. However,

Gerald wanted to harm Violet in order to take revenge on Patrick.

It was really despicable to the extreme!

Skyler’s face darkened with anger.

Violet said with some helplessness, “Mr. Brown, | know you’re worried about me. I’m fine. Please don’t be angry. I'll be more cautious with contracts like this in the future.”

Skyler nodded. After some thought, he said, “Last night, you were just caught off guard by his scheme. Actually, this contract has a lot of restrictive clauses for our side. Gerald isn’t that foolish. He knows the same excuse won’t work on you again. Unless he really intends to continue ordering custom jewelry, he’ll probably terminate the contract on his own. Don’t worry. This matter isn’t difficult to resolve.”

Violet nodded and pressed her lips together. “I thought of that too. It’s just. that | want to handle this matter quickly, and... | don’t want Mr. Hersey to know about it.”

Skyler’s eyes flickered. “Since that’s the case, we shouldn’t delay. Let’s go find Gerald and resolve this matter.”

Violet breathed a sigh of relief. After she calmed down, she also analyzed the pros and cons of the situation.

Her analysis was the same as Skyler’s. She was confident she could convince Gerald to terminate the contract. It was just that last night’s incident had left a shadow on her. She didn’t want to face Gerald alone.

Today, fifty percent of Summerwood City’s population knew that Gerald had been beaten up and hung on the Summerwood City Bridge. He was discovered by sanitation workers early in the morning and was taken to Summerfield General Hospital.

Skyler and Violet hurried to the hospital.

Meanwhile, in Gerald's ward. Gerald saw Eleanor standing as far from him as possible, almost against the wall.

He chuckled and took out his phone to play a recording.

T away

The conversation between Eleanor and Gerald played clearly from the phone.

“You know that Patrick is a heartless person. He doesn’t care about anyone! | want to take him down, but there’s nothing that can dent his arrogance!”

“Mr. Olson, you're mistaken. Patrick might not be interested in me, but there’s a jewelry designer at Foreverie Jewelry who is his precious gem!”
