Chapter 151
Violet smiled and shook her head, sincerely saying, “I know you're looking out for me, but | have my principles when it comes to handling things. I'll be more careful in the future. Thank you again for saving me tonight. | won’t forget this debt of gratitude.” Gabriel let out a haughty huff.
Violet smiled and opened the car door
Violet headed back to Hersey Court. Patrick wasn’t home yet, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit upset when she thought about what happened. tonight.
However, after calming down, she realized that it was her impulsiveness that led to this situation.
She decided that she would discuss canceling Gerald’s contract with Skyler tomorrow. She didn’t want to get involved in this mess any further.
She would not be so lucky again to be saved a second time.
At the same time, at Timeless Bar.
Patrick was drinking in silence, and Robert raised an eyebrow at him, grinning mischievously. “I have to ask, Patrick, everybody is talking about. what happened to the Willis family. Was it really your doing?”
Patrick gave him a cold glance. “What do you think?”
Robert stared at him without blinking. He said in a probing tone, “Seriously, some people even say you hit three birds with one stone, targeting Benedict, Veronica, and Ab bie. Is that true?”
Patrick remained expressionless, not saying a word.
Robert was taken aback. “Could it really be true? Back then, you intentionally had me take Benedict out just to make Veronica the laughingstock and provoke her? Is that right?”
Patrick let out a disdainful snort and didn’t bother to respond.
Robert wasn’t angry either. He looked genuinely shocked. “Is it because of Violet?”
Patrick responded with a nonchalant “hmm,” leaving RobertTêxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
dumbfounded. “I never realized it. So, do you... have feelings for her?”
Patrick gave him a sidelong glance. “Is there anything else on your mind. besides that?”
Robert said in an amused tone, ‘If it’s not because you're interested in her, why go through all the trouble to help her? You had me really scared with those elaborate schemes!”
Patrick took a sip of his drink, his tone indifferent. “It’s just that | didn’t. like those people, so | dealt with them. It has nothing to do with Violet.”
Robert glanced at Patrick but didn’t say anything. He wasn’t entirely convinced by Patrick’s explanation.
Patrick's recent behavior had been somewhat unusual.
When Patrick returned home, there was no one downstairs except for Viola, who was obediently curled up on the couch. Patrick couldn’t help but snort when he thought of Violet saying she owed. him a favor. In his mind, a somewhat childish thought crossed. She said she owed him, but she was already sleeping while he was not even home
yet!
Perhaps it was the alcohol, but a thought crossed his mind.
Could Violet repay her debt by letting him sleep beside her every night?
She might actually cure his insomnia better than any medication!
However, he snapped out of his daydream when Viola let out a meow What was he even thinking?
He irritably popped a mint into his mouth to clear his head. He then headed upstairs, wanting to freshen up and go to bed.
But as soon as he reached the top of the stairs, he was surprised to find
Violet standing there.
Violet looked at Patrick and said, “Mr. Hersey, you're back.”
As Patrick took a few steps forward, Violet noticed the distinct smell of alcohol and furrowed her brows. “Have you been drinking?”
Thinking about Violet’s distant and cold attitude toward him, Patrick felt annoyed and sounded somewhat irritated. “Do | need to report to you when | drink?”
Violet pursed her lips. “No, it was just a casual question.”
Having drunk alcohol and facing Violet's cold demeanor, Patrick’s frustration seemed to amplify, and his emotions escalated. He furrowed his brows deeply. “Do you need anything else?”
Patrick immediately regretted his words.
That wasn’t what he wanted to say at all!
Violet heard the door open. She came out of her room and wanted to talk to Patrick about Gerald.
She had initially planned to discuss it with Skyler tomorrow, but upon hearing the door, she suddenly wanted to talk to Patrick about what happened tonight.
After all, the main reason Gerald caused her trouble was because of
Patrick.
However, Patrick’s impatient attitude immediately reminded Violet of what he had said during the day, asking her not to bother him with such matters in the future.
Her expression was somewhat embarrassed. She suppressed all her emotions and said in an icy tone, “It’s nothing. | heard a noise and came to see if you had returned!”
After Violet finished speaking, she turned to leave.
However, Patrick suddenly grabbed her arm, pulling her back and

pressing her against the wall.
Violet was completely caught off guard, her breath hitched, and her heart started to race.
Patrick’s breath carried a faint scent of alcohol as it brushed against her face. “Violet, do you think I'm a monkey here to be gawked by you?”
Feeling a bit uncomfortable, Violet turned her head and reached out to gently push Patrick. She said, “Mr. Hersey, you’ve drank too much. Please calm down. I’m just expressing concern for a fellow housemate.”
Patrick pressed down on Violet with a force that was too strong for her to push him away.
She frowned in resignation, not wanting to argue with a drunkard.
Upon hearing her words, Patrick suddenly chuckled. His tone carried a hint of sarcasm. “Fellow housemate, huh... That’s quite an interesting way to put it!”
Violet frowned and was about to speak.
However, Patrick suddenly bent over as if he couldn't stand steady. He rested his head against her neck, and his soft lips pressed against her collarbone. He held her in a tight embrace without saying a word.
