My Wife Is An All-Around Expert

Chapter 271

Abel decided to brush off this troublemaking woman, especially since her injuries didn’t appear too severe.

He handed his business card to the taxi driver and said, “Driver, her injuries don’t seem too serious, and | have some pressing matters to attend to. Please help with the damage to her car and cover the medical expenses for her sprain. I'll settle the bill later.”

With that, Abel turned to leave.

Majoric, despite the pain, grabbed his arm firmly and exclaimed, “Just because you Say it’s not serious doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. I’m in agony here. | need to call an ambulance!”

Abel could tell that this woman was merely looking for a confrontation, and he saw no reason to waste his time here.

Wearing a stern expression, he calmly extricated himself from Majorie’s grasp and responded icily, “Feel free to call for help if you wish.

After Abel spoke, he turned and strode away without hesitation.

Majorie’s waist and ankles throbbed with pain, making it impossible for her to catch up with Abel. Frustration etched across her face as she shot an irritated look in his.

The taxi driver approached, trying to engage in a negotiation with Majorie. Infuriated. and still seething from her encounter with Abel, she snapped, “I need to call for an ambulance. Can't you get that?”

Violet received a call from Majoric, learning about her car accident and the ambulance. call. Assuming the injuries were severe, she rushed down the stairs.

Exiting the design department, she spotted Robert and Sophia deep in conversation in the hallway.

Violet was in a hurry and glanced at them, not paying much attention.

Upon reaching the ground floor and stepping out of the elevator, she unexpectedly collided with Rose, who had just entered the company.

Violet's expression subtly shifted as she wondered why Rose had returned to the

company.

Patrick had repeatedly asserted that he had no personal involvement with Rose and that her proximity was purely a ploy to gain access to valuable resources. He had made,

it abundantly clear that he wouldn’t entertain Rose’s advances.

However, despite his firm stance, Rose had managed to get close to Patrick on multiple occasions successfully.

Violet's heart sank heavily as she recalled the chilly encounter with Patrick the day. before. In her mind, doubts started to creep in about the connection between Rose and

Patrick.

When Rose spotted Violet, she raised her chin and confidently approached the front desk, speaking loudly, I’m here to see Mr. Hersey. We had an appointment. Can you please check for me?”

Violet made her way toward the company’s entrance, and upon hearing Rose’s words, her heart sank even further, and she instinctively clenched her fists.

Did Patrick indeed have an appointment with Rose?

Just because they argued yesterday, did he have to rush to seek solace from his confidante to ease his discomfort?

It seemed that she shouldn’t have been so presumptuous or held too many expectations!

Violet walked out of the company with a stiff demeanor, her mind in turmoil and her heartache beyond control.

She tried her best to regain her composure, reminding herself that Majoric had been in a car accident, and she couldn't afford to dwell on matters of unrequited love.

Suppressing the whirlwind of emotions, she hurried to the location Majoric had mentioned.

Rose watched Violet’s departure with an expressionless face, recalling the scene from yesterday when Violet had entered Patrick’s car. She couldn’t help but let out a disdainful snort.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Wasn't she just like her, trying to climb the corporate ladder through Patrick, pretending to be virtuous and innocent?

The receptionist, noticing Rose’s appointment, spoke with a cheerful smile. “Rose, Mr. Hersey is waiting for you. Please head upstairs!”

Rose raised her chin arrogantly and swayed her hips as she walked toward the elevator.

Once exited the elevator, she swiftly transitioned into a gentle and vulnerable demeanor, heading toward Patrick's office.

Nelson had no idea why Patrick had suddenly decided to meet with Rosc. He was increasingly puzzled by Patrick’s actions. Seeing Rose approaching, he chose to remain silent.

Rose had successfully entered Patrick’s office once again..

She gazed at Patrick behind his desk, adopting a demeanor of vulnerability and softness as she said, “Mr. Hersey.”

Patrick lifted his eyes to look at her, his tone cold and distant. “Speak up. What do want to discuss?”

If it hadn’t been for Rose mentioning that she had something related to Violet to discuss, he wouldn’t have agreed to meet with her.

Upon hearing Patrick’s words, Rose lowered her head, a flicker of jealousy passing through her eyes.

Both were vying for Patrick’s attention, so why did he treat Violet so differently?

However, now wasn’t the time to dwell on such matters.

Rose raised her head again, concealing her jealousy, and spoke softly, “Well, you see, during the shoot yesterday, there was an incident involving Ms. Webb on the set. Did Ms. Webb not inform you about it?”

Patrick’s brows furrowed deeply. Violet had an incident yesterday?

She hadn't mentioned a word to him!

However, he also understood why Violet hadn’t spoken up after yesterday’s argument. Given her personality, it would have been surprising if she had!

He gazed at Rose and demanded in a firm tone, “What happened? Tell me!”

Patrick was undeniably upset. He couldn’t help but be concerned not only about Violet’s cold demeanor toward him but also about her apparent attraction to Skyler.

No matter how often he tried to convince himself that he shouldn't care, the discomfort and unease in his heart persisted. Nevertheless, he absolutely couldn’t allow anyone to mistreat Violet in any way!

Rose cautiously observed Patrick, and her intuition had proved correct. Violet, with her air of self-righteousness, hadn't disclosed yesterday’s incident to Patrick.

She explained, “Here’s what happened. During lunch yesterday, someone intentionally

spilled water on Ms. Webb’s design draft, ruining it. However, Ms. Webb didn’t mention it because of the recording schedule. In the afternoon, she endured the humiliation and quickly created a new design draft under tight time constraints.”

Rose paused and stole a glance at Patrick’s expression. It was highly sinister.

She clenched her hand, and it was clear that Patrick held a vital concern for Violet's grievances.

She continued, “Even though Ms. Webb kept silent about the design draft incident for the sake of the show, she suffered greatly and was left unaware of who was sabotaging

‘Im concerned that in the future, someone might target Ms. Webb again. | understand that, given Ms. Webb’s personality, she probably wouldn’t want to inform you. But we’re a team, and | don’t want to witness her being pushed into such a difficult situation. | also want our team to remain competitive!”

Patrick narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing at Rose with a stoic expression. “I’m aware of this situation. Now, tell me, what do you want?”

Rose hastily shook her head. “I don’t

Patrick’s expression darkened. “Alright, you may leave. I'll have Nelson assign you a new

resource.”

Rose stood in place, biting her lip, her expression genuinely reflecting her lack of desire for additional resources.

Patrick’s tone turned icy. “Still not leaving? Do you find one resource insufficient?”

Rose quickly shook her head, clarifying, “No, it’s not like that, Mr. Hersey!”

Patrick looked indifferently at Rose and furrowed his brow as if contemplating something. He spoke, “If there are any matters concerning Violet in the future, don’t hesitate to inform me. I'll make it worth your while.”

Rose pressed her lips together, concealing her hidden intentions quite effectively. Ultimately, she dared not probe further and test Patrick’s boundaries. She responded, “Thank you, Mr. Hersey.”
