Melinda
spent the whole morning mentally preparing herself not to get mad at Elijah because of Violette, but now, her psychological defense completely collapsed!
She held back her pain, got up, and left.
Not far away, Derek watched his sister hit a wall with Elijah again, even in their own home, feeling both heartache and embarrassed .
Melinda wasted the ten years of youth and feelings on Elijah, and he had to pay back tonight!
After lunch, Elijah went to the guest room to rest.
He didn’t expect Violette to not have arrived yet.
Didn’t she say she was comfortable with Derek?
Was she lying to him?
After arriving at the guest room, he didn’t lie down to rest.
He wasn’t very tired; coming to the guest room was just to avoid socializing.
He sent a message to his bodyguard: Call me when Violette arrives.
After sending the message, he put his phone on the table and picked up a book from the shelf next to him.
Around 4 p.m., there were voices outside the door.
"Do you know Violette?"
"Of course, she’s the woman Derek likes!"
"Right, just now young master asked me to prepare some stuff for a woman and bring it to his room. It seems Violette will be staying overnight."
"When it comes to chasing women, he never fails! Do you know why he’s always successful?"
"Why?"
"Our young master has a way to make women obey! The method is..."
The voices outside the door suddenly became softer.
Then, the footsteps gradually faded away.
Elijah frowned and strode towards the door.
Derek nodded: "He is still not getting any better despite he has seen many doctors . Only when he is in a completely quiet environment, will he feel better."
Violette: "Since he likes quiet, why does he still hold a birthday party?"
Derek laughed: "He doesn’t like it, but his condition is more importent. Before he got sick, he liked lively events."
Violette nodded, indicating that she understood.
"Why does your father want to see me alone? I’m a little nervous." Violette said uneasily.
Derek: "Don’t be nervous. He just wants to chat with you."
Banquet.
Derek and Violette didn’t show up.
Elijah called Violette several times without any response.
He then called Derek, with the same result.
Feeling as if his heart was being cut out, he left the banquet hall and strode towards the south.
