He refused to believe Patrick’s explanation.
After that, Gabriel’s feelings toward Gloria became very complicated. He also caused Patrick trouble everywhere.

She wanted too much, so he naturally couldn’t give it to her!
Patrick also knew that Gabriel told him to stay away from Violet because he was worried Violet would become the next Gloria. However, how could that be? Violet and Gloria were completely different.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Violet and Megan appeared at Sunny May Hotel’s door. The two of them got out of the car one after another. The doorman took the car key and went to park.
Violet was wearing a white business suit and Megan was wearing a retro black gown. The two of them walked toward the hotel lobby.
Megan looked at Violet worriedly. “What if Wendy is here too?”
Acold glint flashed across Violet’s eyes. “Ignore her. Back then, | got Russell to be my boyfriend to draw a line between me and them. Now, I’ve already registered my marriage. Why should | still be afraid that she'll say that I’m haunting Freddie?

Megan looked at her helplessly. “Violet, the more | talk, the more nervous. you become and the more you say, right?”

The other party was wearing an off-shoulder light green gown, looking pure and charming.
Megan lifted her chin slightly. “Violet, that’s Rebecca Lexington from your major!”
Violet turned a blind eye. “Ignore her!”
When she was in school with Rebecca, they were already at odds with each other. If she went to talk to her now, she would only ask for a snub.
However, though she did not want to embarrass herself, some people liked to make things difficult for others.
Rebecca twisted her slim waist and quickly walked to Violet, directly blocking her. “Hey, isn’t this Violet? We graduated two years ago, and she never even came to attend the party of our major. Why is she here for the Alumni Gathering today? Don’t tell me she heard Freddie is back and wants to cozy up to him. Unfortunately, he’s already engaged!”
There was a hotel receptionist at the side, but Rebecca did not care at all. and insulted Violet as if there was no one else around. Violet was on good terms with Freddie and was later warned by his fiancée.
Not many people knew about this, but Rebecca was one of them.
Violet's expression was dark. “Rebecca, move aside. | don’t want to talk nonsense with you!”
Rebecca snickered. “Why? You failed to become his girlfriend two years. ago. Now, do you want to give it a try again?

After Rebecca finished speaking, she saw Violet lower her eyes and remain silent.
She covered her mouth and laughed sarcastically. “Listen, Violet, you're so ridiculous. Don’t tell me you do have such thoughts! You're so ridiculous!”
Megan took a step forward, full of hostility, wanting to tear Rebecca’s stu pid mouth apart.
At this moment, a clear and cold voice sounded. “What are you doing?”
