When Violet learned the truth, her heart became immensely complex.

“Is Seth a bad person?” she pondered. “Over the years, he not only showed filial devotion to his parents but also refrained from any wrongdoing.”

“On the other hand,” she continued, “he knowingly entered the world of contract killing, which muddies the waters.”

The reason he engaged in such a line of work was heart-wrenching. He was essentially trading another's life for his father’s medical expenses. The situation was truly distressing.

The distinction between circumstances forcing his hand and malevolence was blurry, with no clear-cut standards.

In this world, many things blurred the lines between good and evil!

The police inquired if Violet had any enemies, and she recounted the bathroom. incident involving Ellie as Patrick had advised. Nathan’s demeanor grew tense, and he promptly dispatched an investigation team to look into Ellie.

After the questioning, Nathan sent Violet and Patrick out of the police station.

Since Patrick couldn't drive, Violet took the wheel.

Nathan watched as Patrick moved to the front passenger seat.

Eventually, he couldn’t restrain himself and said, “Mr. Hersey, in the end, today’s events. were set in motion due to the ambiguity in your relationship with your subordinate. Yet, paradoxically, this ambiguous relationship may have saved her life. | can’t pass judgment on right or wrong here.”

“But,” he continued, “someone died in the end, much like the butterfly effect. A small action by Rebecca altered the course of events. Perhaps that was her fate. However, | must say, if you genuinely care for Miss Webb's well-being, it would be wise to avoid ambiguous relationships that invite speculation.” He glanced at Violet in the car as he spoke.

During this conversation, Violet remained unaware as the car window stayed closed.

However, Patrick remained calm as he listened to Nathan Sampson's words. He spoke expressionlessly, “She’s not my subordinate!”

Nathan was momentarily dumbfounded. “Huh? | don’t understand what you mean!” he said.

With narrowed eyes, Patrick enunciated, “Violet is my wife!”

Nathan was taken aback, and after a moment, he responded hesitantly, “You mean your girlfriend!”

Patrick gazed co olly at him and said, “You're mistaken, legally. So, | hope you'll expedite the investigation.”

Having said this, he opened the car door and got in, leaving Nathan bewildered.

On the way back, neither Patrick nor Violet spoke.

However, at every red light, Violet would sneak glances at Patrick’s hand.

Upon finally arriving back at Hersey Court, Patrick couldn’t take it any longer. As she changed her shoes and sneaked another look at his hand, he gruffly exclaimed, “Stop looking at my hand. It won't be cr ippled!”

Caught in the act, Violet appeared somewhat embarrassed. Nevertheless, her eyes were still reddened, giving her a rabbit-eyed appearance that suggested she had been mistreated and was on the verge of tears.

Patrick immediately waved the white flag in his heart, attempting to sound kind and reassuring. “You really don’t need to worry; I'm perfectly fine!” he said.

Violet gazed at the white bandage wrapped around Patrick’s hand, her expression filled with sadness. Her voice trembled as she spoke, “How can you be alright? You caugh

that blade barchanded; do you think you're invincible? | know it must hurt terribly.”

Patrick had saved Violet tonight. He could tell that although he had hurt her feelings, she was willing to open her heart and care for him.

With a sparkle in his eyes, Patrick breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Actually, as long as you promise me one thing, the pain will disappear.”

Violet understood his intention. She was aware that the notion of the pain vanishing upon making a promise was absurd. “What's that one thing?” she asked.

With a seriousness that couldn’t be overlooked, Patrick explained, “Keep your distance from Gabriel.”

Violet's expression changed slightly as she frowned at Patrick.

This revelation left Violet perplexed, as it raised a significant dilemma. Patrick and Gabriel Williamson were both her saviors. 2/4

The difference lay in the fact that one was poisoned to save her, one was injured to save her, one was a friend, and one was someone she liked.

Violet found herself at a loss.

Patrick gazed at her in silence, forcing Violet to confront her feelings. “Patrick, Gabriel saved my life!” she said.

Patrick was consumed by jealousy today and had momentarily forgotten about this.

His brows furrowed deeply, and his tone took on a somewhat defiant edge. “Fine, you do what you want,” he said.

After saying that, he walked over and turned on the television to watch the financial. channel.

On

any other day, Violet would have ignored him with this attitude and gone upstairs to sleep.

But today was different. Patrick had risked his life to save her. Not many people could do such a thing.

Violet was not heartless, especially since she had a hidden affection for Patrick.

Patrick had been injured for her, which moved her deeply and made her feel guilty and sorry. These emotions were something others couldn’t truly understand.

She walked over, seated herself beside Patrick, and, with an earnest and apologetic demeanor, said, “Patrick, please don’t be angry.”

Patrick scoffed and asked, “Why don’t you call me Mr. Hersey anymore?”

Violet replied, “You're my savior, and we live under the same roof. It feels distant to call you Mr. Hersey!”

Patrick looked at her co olly and said, “I thought your previous attitude toward me was distant enough.”

Violet was momentarily at a loss for words. After a while, she explained helplessly, “My previous cold and distant behavior... was somewhat deliberate. But it was because | learned that you had gone on a blind date with Riley behind my back. Even though we may not have any emotional attachment, | am still your contractual wife. | have the right to be unhappy.”

Patrick chuckled when he heard her tell the truth. He had been about to explain the date situation with Riley earlier when he received a call from Nelson.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

This was a good opportunity to have a talk with her.

He fixed his gaze on Violet and raised an eyebrow, asking, “So, do you not trust me at alla

Violet pouted, lowered her head, and fiddled with her fingers. “It’s not a matter of whether | trust you or not. The key is that... the date arranged by your family is not something you can easily refuse. Even though I’m unhappy, | understand that you have. your own difficulties,” she said.

Seeing Violet's understanding attitude, Patrick couldn't help but let out a light sigh. However, he was somewhat upset with her response.

He looked at Violet with an unpleased expression. “So, if the date with Riley went well, are you planning to make way for her?” he asked.

Hearing his question and thinking about his interaction with Riley earlier in the day, Violet’s response was laden with a bitter tone. “If your date with Riley went well, | won’t occupy Mrs. Mo’s position!”

Patrick was exasperated. He wished he could use both hands to rub Violet's face to vent his frustration, but his injured hand prevented him from doing so.

Violet heard his gloomy tone and replied, “You’re lucky. The date didn’t work out, and | even told my parents | had a girlfriend. They asked me to bring her home when | had. the chance. When are you planning to visit with me?”

Violet's widened eyes indicated her surprise. “How is that possible? If you didn’t succeed, how could you be with Riley?”
