COMMENT
Chapter 299
Robert had seen that Patrick sat on the sofa like a statue all night. Therefore, he finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Violet’s call. “Thank Go d, Ms. Webb, have you finally seen my post on Instagram?”
Violet’s voice was filled with apology. “I’m sorry, I only just found out today is Patrick’s birthday.”
“You have to hurry up, Come over quickly. Patrick really hates it when people stand him up.
If you don’t come, he might end up infuriating himself.” Robert leaned against. the window, speaking to Violet on the phone while sneakily glancing at Patrick.
Violet nodded. “I’m truly sorry. I’ll be on my way. I’ll try to get there before midnight.”
Robert nodded. “Alright, I’ll send you the address to your phone.
Robert hung up the phone and walked over to Patrick. But just as he reached Patrick, Patrick looked up at him. “Who were you on the phone with?”
Robert laughed nervously and said, ‘No one, just a client.”
Patrick looked at him with a deep gaze. “Is Violet your client?”
Robert looked at Patrick in shock. “How did you know it was Violet?”
Patrick snorted and replied coldly. “A guilty conscience betrays itself.”
He was that Robert’s expression was off as he kept glancing at him guilty. Hence, Patrick had his suspicions.
Unexpectedly, it really was Violet.
Robert patted his head in resignation, worrying about his own intelligence.
He reflected on himself for two seconds, then quickly spoke up for Violet. “Ms. Webb doesn’t know it’s your birthday today, so she only went to have dinner with Gabriel tonight. I told her that you were mad and refused to call her. Just now, Ms. Webb kept apologizing to me on the phone. It made me want to forgive her on your behalf!”
Patrick gave Robert a cold look, and Robert immediately shut up.
Robert thought to himself that Violet really wasn’t at fault!
Of course, he didn’t dare say this in front of Patrick. Otherwise, Patrick’s icy aura would freeze him to death.
Patrick stared at the yoid and was lost in thought.

Robert stood up, intending to take a walk, but Patrick spoke up. “Bring Riley over.”
Robert was a bit puzzled. “What! Why do you want me to bring her?”
Patrick said calmly, “Have her sit next to me and wait for Violet to arrive.”
Robert was stunned for a second. He suddenly understood Patrick’s intention.

He was a bit exasperated. “Are you trying to make Ms. Webb jealous? I’m telling you, you’re playing with fire. Don’t you realize?”
Patrick looked at Robert coldly. “You talk too much.”
Robert was so angry that he almost stomped his feet. “Fine, I’ll go call her for you. Just you wait. If you really make Violet leave in a huff, how are you going to explain yourself later!”
As Robert spoke, he walked over to Riley.
Riley had come specifically to apologize to Patrick tonight. She had heard about Patrick’s birthday party happening here, so she mustered the courage to come over.
After her previous conflict with Patrick at the charity dinner, not only had she embarrassed herself, but she had also offended the Stanton family.
Riley had been severely scolded by her family and was ordered to humble herself and apologize to Patrick as soon as possible.
So, she took advantage of today being Patrick’s birthday and came over.
After all, today was Patrick’s birthday. He wouldn’t possibly make things too awkward at his own birthday party, right?
And with Wendy by his side, Patrick shouldn’t go too far.
Wendy was the daughter of Gloria’s uncle. She was Gloria’s elder cousin.
Riley and Gloria were best friends, so Riley had known Wendy for a long time. While they weren’t extremely close, their relationship was still amicable.
As expected, Wendy spoke a few words on Riley’s behalf, and Riley quietly apologized while no one was paying attention. Patrick didn’t make things difficult for her either.
Upon hearing Robert’s request for her to go over to Patrick, especially since it was at Patrick’s suggestion, Riley felt a burst of satisfaction. She was overjoyed.
However, when she went over and sat beside Patrick, he didn’t even spare her a glance.

Riley’s heated mind finally calmed down a bit, and she sat quietly beside Patrick.
Time ticked away.
Thinking that Violet was on her way, Patrick had initially wanted to introduce her to Freddie today.
However, before Violet arrived, both Freddie and Wendy approached him.
Freddie said, “Patrick, we’ve already had cake, and it’s getting late. You have work tomorrow. Wendy and I will head out first.”
Patrick checked the time. It was already past eleven.
Thinking about how Violet hadn’t arrived yet, his handsome face darkened, and his tone grew a bit unfriendly. “You can go ahead then.”
He didn’t want to tell Freddie that the woman he liked only found out it was his birthday and rushed over this late.
Freddie sensed something was off with his younger brother. He could not help but raise his eyebrows. “What? You’re not happy on your birthday?”
Patrick’s voice was cold and indifferent, without a trace of emotion. “Birthdays come every year. Is there a need to be so cheerful-about it?”
Freddie knew Patrick’s aloof personality. He shook his head helplessly and said, “If there’s really something bothering you, remember to tell your big brother!”
With that, he patted Patrick’s shoulder and left.
Freddie’s car had just driven out of the View Road complex.
At the same time, another car passed by her, heading toward the villa.
When Violet entered, everyone in the villa subconsciously looked at her.
After all, it was already past eleven, and the birthday party was scheduled to end at twelve. Who would arrive at this hour?
However, when they saw Violet, their gazes varied.
Especially when they saw the plastic bag she was carrying from the convenience store, some couldn’t help but make snide remarks.
“Oh my, is this woman here for Mr. Hersey’s birthday party?”
“It seems so. She doesn’t look like she’s at the wrong place!”

“But she’s really embarrassing. She came over with lasagna noodles and meat sauce. Could it be that she wants to celebrate Mr. Hersey’s birthday with this?”
This remark prompted several others to laugh along.
Those who were closer to the entrance couldn’t help but hear their comments. Violet lowered her head and looked at the bag in her hand.
She had just passed by a convenience store and thought that there might be a kitchen there. She wanted to make lasagna for Patrick herself as a gesture of goodwill.
She hadn’t expected that bringing this in would seem so out of place.
Robert snapped back to reality and saw that Violet seemed a bit uncomfortable. He quickly strode over. “Miss Webb, you’ve finally arrived. Come in first!”
As he spoke, he reached out to take the plastic bag from Violet’s hand.
However, Violet evaded him and looked at Robert. “It’s alright, I don’t feel embarrassed.”
She was just feeling a bit out of place in this setting.
Seeing her like this, Robert could only bring her toward Patrick.
The sofa Patrick was sitting on could not be seen from the door.
When Violet saw Patrick, she immediately saw Riley sitting beside him.
Although Violet knew Patrick’s attitude toward Riley, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she saw this scene.
She frowned slightly.
Riley and Patrick also saw Violet.
Although Riley didn’t initially understand why Patrick insisted on her sitting here, when she saw Violet, everything suddenly became clear. It seemed like Patrick wanted to use her to make Violet jealous.
If that was the case, then she couldn’t disappoint Patrick.
As she watched Violet approach the sofa, Riley’s eyes flickered, and she directly moved closer to Patrick.
