Ice and Fire novel Chapter 650

'Did she prepare breakfast for Greg?' Sharon couldn't help but wonder.

Violet felt uneasy facing Sharon. She didn't know how to greet her, keeping in mind their past. It would be impolite of Violet to pretend that she didn't know her. After all, she was Greg's step-mother. "Good morning, Aunt Sharon," she said, eventually.

"What are you doing here?" Sharon asked her suspiciously, ignoring her greeting.

"Oh." Violet's head was blank for a moment. She didn't know how to reply to her. "I am here because..."

Before she could finish her words, the elevator door opened again. Both of them rushed out.

Sharon needed to know what this witch was doing here. She cornered Violet at the staircase. "You know Greg is back, don't you? Are you here to make up to him?" she asked Violet furiously.

"No," Violet said firmly. She was no longer scared of Sharon. Violet knew her from long ago. Sharon wasn't a pleasant woman.

"No?" Sharon repeated. "Violet, don't forget what you promised me five years ago. Now that Greg is back, you want to get back into his good graces again, don't you?"

Violet did not cower at Sharon's contemptuous smile and vicious words. She thought about what Aunt Selina had told her. Violet was Jackson and Cherry's daughter. She was a rich and young heiress by her own right and was not inferior by any means.

Violet lifted her head and looked into Sharon's eyes, feeling fearless. "What if I say yes? You should know better than anyone how deeply Greg loves me and how much I love him back," Violet said in an unwavering voice.

"Violet Chu, stop daydreaming! You don't deserve Greg. He is an outstanding and successful young talent. He must marry a beautiful girl from a rich and influential family who is worthy of him! Don't ever have designs on him!" Her bitter words reached Violet's ears like knives stabbing into her heart. But Sharon wasn't done yet. She looked her up and down disdainfully. "Look at yourself in the mirror! Do you think you deserve him?"

Violet's confident fire was doused by Sharon's cold sneer. The last thing she'd like to do was to look in the mirror. It pained her too much to look at her scars.

Violet pretended to be strong. "I am not here for Greg, I'm here because -" she tried to explain.

But before she could finish, Sharon slapped her. It was so unexpected that Violet staggered back several steps.

"You shameless girl! Why don't you admit to the dirty things you have done? I am warning you, Greg will marry Gu family's daughter soon. Don't even try to approach him! Also..." Glancing around to make sure no one heard them, Sharon went on. "Five years ago, you received my 100 million dollars in exchange for leaving Greg. What if I told Greg about this? Do you think he would still love such a shameless woman?"

Tears flowed down Violet's cheeks. She shook her head in helplessness and looked back at Sharon. "I didn't sell my love for wealth. I wasn't after your money, it was you who..."
