My Wife Is An All-Around Expert by Elton Joe novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293
Violet pursed her lips, her expression unusually serious. “It’s not that I’m afraid of people finding out about our relationship, but rather, we agreed from the beginning to keep our marriage a secret. Since it was agreed upon beforehand, we should honor the spirit of the contract. Besides, we’re getting divorced in a year anyway. If people find out that
you had a previous marriage, especially with me, it wouldn’t be good for your reputation. You’ve been so good to me, and I can’t be ungrateful!”
Patrick looked at her with a smirk, but his eyes were devoid of any amusement. “In that case, I should be thanking you for repaying my kindness?”
Violet quickly waved her hand. “You don’t need to thank me. Honestly, considering how many times you’ve helped me, I should be the one thanking you!”
Patrick felt quite aggrieved. He let out a cold snort. “How terrible do you think you are? How could you believe that it would tarnish my reputation if people knew I had been married to you? Shouldn’t this kind of thing have a greater impact on you as a woman?”
Violet was taken aback. She hadn’t considered that Patrick would say something like this.
After all, they had agreed to keep their marriage a secret from the beginning.
She fell silent for a moment. “Since we’re getting divorced anyway, it’s not beneficial for either of us to talk about it. It’s better to keep a low profile, continue with our secret marriage, and not let too many people know. It will be better for both of us in the end!”
Patrick couldn’t hold back and let out a bitter laugh. “Your plans are quite far-sighted”
It had been several days since Violet had a confrontational conversation with Patrick like this. His current attitude left her unsure of how to respond.
She twisted her fingers and looked at Patrick with a puzzled expression. She hesitated before speaking. “Patrick, is it because hearing this from me makes you feel like your absolute control is being challenged, and that’s why you’re in a bad mood?”
Upon hearing this, Patrick was infuriated and let out a mocking laugh. “Absolute control? Why don’t you just say I’m arrogant and can’t stand being challenged? Violet, you really have a way with words. Is this how you want our marriage to end?”
Violet was taken aback by his words. She looked at Patrick in surprise. “What!”
Her face changed slightly, and she muttered to herself, “You make it sound like we are actually having a proper marriage!”
If it weren’t for the fact that their marriage was based on an agreement, she might have.

already developed feelings for Patrick. She didn’t want this marriage to end.
But the reality was it was just an agreement, and it would come to an end when the time
came.
Violet’s expression turned somewhat disappointed.
Patrick was also momentarily stunned. The space in the car was limited. Although Violet’s voice was soft, he still heard it.
He thought about the agreements they had made with each other at the beginning of their marriage and cursed himself for not having foreseen this.
He didn’t want to continue this confrontation with Violct. He said in a low voice, “Go ahead to work.”
Violet nodded and reached for the car door to get out.
However, Patrick seemed to think of something and suddenly said hesitantly, “Wait, Violet!”
Violet turned to look at him. “What’s wrong? Do you have something else to discuss?”
Patrick pondered in his heart for a while before looking up at Violet. “Are you available. this Friday?”
Violet was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Patrick to ask her like this.
She replied with a question of her own, “Do you have plans for Friday?”
Patrick’s face turned somewhat unnatural, and he avoided looking at Violet. He replied, “No, nothing in particular. I was just asking casually.”
Violet frowned. She was in a hurry to clock in, so she didn’t notice Patrick’s unease. She hurriedly said, “I’m not sure, we’ll see. If I’m not available, I’ll let you know!”
Patrick nodded. “Alright, got it!”
Upon hearing this, Violet quickly closed the car door and headed toward the elevator.
Patrick watched Violet’s retreating figure, letting out a small sigh. He sat in the car for a while before finally getting out.
Once Violet arrived at the design department and sat down, she saw Sophia approaching quietly.
Sophia asked, “Violet, I heard you were injured earlier. Are you feeling better?”

Violet thought Sophia was genuinely concerned about her injury and smiled. She shook her head and replied, “Look, I’m perfectly fine. But thanks for worrying about me.”
Sophia smiled awkwardly and blinked, stealing a glance at Violet. She seemed a bit. nervous. “Violet, I heard Megan from the Information Technology Department resigned.”
While tidying her desk, Violet nodded without paying much attention to Sophia’s words. “Yes, she resigned a while ago.”
Sophia bit her lip, hesitant to speak. “Before Megan resigned, Mr. Foster seemed to visit
her often.”
Upon hearing this, Violet finally sensed that something was amiss. She turned to Sophia, her expression growing colder. “What exactly are you trying to say?”
Suddenly, Violet recalled the incident when Majorie Queen’s car was bumped on the road, and she had decided to go down and check on her. While she was heading. downstairs, she glimpsed Sophia in the corridor, speaking with Robert.
At the thought of this, her expression became even more serious.
Sophia felt uneasy under Violet’s scrutinizing gaze. She quickly laughed nervously. “I was just asking casually, Violet. Why are you taking it so seriously?”
Violet’s face remained stern. “Are you really just asking casually?”
Sophia felt like she’d been seen through. She felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Violet, you know who I am, right? I’m just curious, that’s all!”
Violet looked at her deeply and continued to tidy up her things. “I don’t want to know what’s on your mind. But I do know that you’re an honest and introverted girl. I hope. you won’t be blinded by temporary feelings and do something foolish. Also, Megan is my best friend, and I won’t allow anyone to harm her. Do you understand?”
Sophia’s eyes welled up with tears upon hearing Violet’s words. She suddenly felt very emotional.
She had been scheming to see Robert for a while now but couldn’t find any information. She was disappointed, and that was why she wanted to ask Violet.
She never expected Violet to be so sensitive and figure it out.
She lowered her head in embarrassment and did not say a word.
Violet let out a sigh, her expression complex as she looked at Sophia. “Sophia, you… don’t have to be like this. I might have been a bit harsh, but it’s all for your own good. I won’t beat around the bush anymore. Robert may be a reliable person, but he’s terrible

when it comes to relationships. If you don’t want to get hurt, it’s better to keep your distance from him. As for his attachment to Megan, it has nothing to do with Megan. I hope that no matter what you decide to do, you’ll see things clearly before acting. Don’t hurt innocent people!”
Sophia looked up at Violet, her eyes red and teary. Her voice was filled with a hint of grievance. “Violet, please don’t misunderstand. I didn’t have any malicious intentions! Mr. Foster helped me before, and I just…. couldn’t forget it. I couldn’t control my emotions, which is why I asked you. I didn’t have any intention of competing with Megan for Mr. Foster. I just wanted to know more about him from a distance!”
