Melinda couldn’t believe that at this point, he was still defending Violette!
She felt a pang of heartache and injustice. Her tears were uncontrollably falling.
Joey quickly walked in and took Violette away from the couch.
“I didn’t know Melinda was going to show up,” Joey explained seriously. “I’ll take you downstairs.”
“No need.” She pushed Joey’s hand away and strode towards the elevator.
She had mixed feelings inside her heart right now.
She had indeed come to see Elijah because of Odette, b
ut she hadn’t thought that she would lay a hand on him.
He had provoked her, but hitting was still not right.
He had a bad temper and often quarreled with her, but he had never hit her.
After getting out of the elevator, she walked quickly towards the parking lot.
Once in the car, she drove it towards the office.
On the way, she received a call from Odette.
“Violette, I heard you hit Elijah for me... I told you not to go see him, didn’t I?” Odette was shocked. Even her bruised face didn’t hurt anymore. “You’re so brave. Aren’t you afraid he’ll hit you back?”
In Odette’s eyes, a man who dared to hit a woman or a child was without boundaries.
Violette lied, “I came to see him for business.”
“What business do you two have together? Now you’ve hit him. How are you going to face each other in the future?” Odette felt suffocated just by thinking about it.
“I don’t have to face him.” Violette spoke calmly, “You take good care of yourself. Watch your diet. Don’t eat spicy food...”
Mike said, “Joey guessed that his boss might not come looking for you anymore. Because his boss has never been so humiliated! So you’ll have to raise your child by yourself.”
Violette lifted her heavy eyelids. “I told you to get out!”
Mike replied, “Oh... I’m leaving... But why would you break the contract. We don’t have to fight over money. It’s a big deal worth millions!”
Violette had a severe headache. After taking a deep breath, she muttered, “Get out!”
Afraid that she might get upset, Mike immediately left the office.
Once the office was quiet, she examined her own right hand.
Her hand was still slightly red and numb.
It was evident how hard she had slapped him.
