Chapter 181 A Two-Hour Kneeling Penalty From Bobby
Jerry was stunned and then became solemn. “I’ve been busy dealing with matters in the Secret Bureau of Investigation during the day. That’s why I didn’t ask about the case last night and don’t
know what happened. But…”
He paused for a moment and stared at Viola apologetically.
“I’m sorry, Viola. I didn’t stop Brian from taking you away last night due to my anger and thus caused you to suffer like that in the police station all night. But you have to believe in me. I haven’t changed. I will always be who I was to you and keep standing by your side.”
Halfway through his sentences, he reached out to hold Viola’s hand in his excitement.
“Of course, I believe in you.”
Viola smiled as she retracted her hand calmly, with which she then elegantly brushed away her hair. “By the way, the Haworth Group has been holding my money for quite a long time now. I need to take it back. Or it will just keep bothering me. It would be great if you could help me with that afterward.”
Jerry sounded righteous. “No problem. I will do whatever you need me to do.”
Viola smiled crookedly, looking soft and lovable.
The two then continued to chat away.
And they didn’t finish the meal until it was eight o’clock in the evening.
Jerry wanted to drive Viola home, but Viola turned him down. Then, with Tyler and Nell, she headed back to the Bay Villa.
The moment she stepped into the back seat of the car, the gentle smile on her face froze. The next minute, she looked cold already.
As they drove, tension built up in the car.
Noticing that she was in a bad mood, Tyler and Nell remained silent in case they provoked her.
When they arrived at the Bay Villa, Viola was surprised to find that the lights in the living room were on. After asking Toby, she found out that it was Russell who was there.
Then Viola opened the door, only to see that Russell was sitting on the sofa with a weird expression
on his face.
“Russell, what’s the matter?”
Russell blinked and pointed at the phone in his hand. “It’s Bobby. He called you but you didn’t
answer the phone. That’s why I am here.”
Viola held her breath upon hearing that. Her heart was pounding.
She had never been afraid of anything, her father included. But Bobby was an exception.
Looking at Russell’s expression, which wasn’t pleasant at all, Viola knew it was something bad.
Viola’s legs felt weak in an instant as she said, feeling wronged, “Russell, don’t call him yet. I need some time to prepare myself a bit.”
“Viola McGraw.”
At that moment, a dignified and stern voice came from Russell’s phone.
Viola thought, fuck!
What the hell!
Bobby had been on the line all the while. And the speaker is on!
And Bobby was calling me by my full name! It seems that he is really pissed off.
Unable to get away, Viola was resigned to taking the phone, her hand shaking. Then she said in a soft voice, “Bobby, I was wrong. Don’t be angry…”
“What have you done wrong?”
Over the phone, Bobby’s voice was cold and emotionless.
Meanwhile, Russell held his breath, not daring to say a word.
Viola thought for quite a while.
But she couldn’t think of what she had done wrong. “If you say I am wrong, then I am, regardless of what it is.”
“Viola!”
Bobby gnashed his teeth in anger.
Viola knelt on the ground right away despite being over the phone.
“Bobby, I am truly sorry. I’m already kneeling, alright?”
Bobby was silent for seconds before he said, suppressing his anger, “How many times have you been at the police station? Let’s leave aside the previous ones and talk about last night alone. It seems like you’re really badass, hitting someone in front of so many staff in the bar. What if that person was triggered and decided to fight to death and hurt you?”
Viola pouted, wanting to retort. But Russell was signaling to her like crazy, asking her not to fan the flames of it.
Therefore, Viola softened her tone. “I did it wrong. I wouldn’t do it again.”
