Chapter 163
Yvonne extended her index finger and gestured for silence. “Dad, keep
down!”
She picked up Gabriel's phone and noticed it was still lit, displaying the chat with Violet.
After a glance, she memorized the vital information, a fierce.
determination gleaming in her eyes.
Just then, she heard footsteps approaching from upstairs. She swiftly returned Gabriel's phone to its original position, turned around, and sat back, acting as if nothing had happened.
Gabriel came downstairs with a cold expression and said, “Uncle Enzo, if you want to eat together, | can have the ser vants prepare some food. As for the collaboration, | can only say that | can’t help.”
He could not collaborate with Enzo’s family anymore; it was time for
Yvonne to learn a lesson!
Enzo’s lips trembled slightly, but in the end, he remained silent.
On that Friday, Violet took the midnight flight, and she arrived at the airport a little after ten in the morning. When she arrived, Ellie and Skyler were already there.
Skyler and Ellie were having a cheerful conversation in the lounge. When they saw Violet approaching, Ellie, thinking about Violet's unfounded. hostility, purposely raised his voice and engaged in an affectionate conversation with Skyler.
Violet kept her eyes closed and ignored her.
Seeing Skyler, she could not help but inexplicably think of the incident.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
when Patrick seemed to have gone to Azure City to accompany her for the competition.
However, it had been three days since she had seen Patrick since that night.

Thinking about the recent rumors involving Patrick and Rose, Violet self- mockingly tugged at her lips, her expression tinged with irony.
Patrick was probably enjoying himself in the land of plenty right now!
After a while, her phone suddenly rang. Violet took it out and checked the notification. It was a news update from Summerwood City. She glanced at it and suddenly froze.
The headline read, “The Stanton family’s Young Master Freddie has
returned with his fiancée. Are wedding bells ringing, or is he about to take over the power of the family?”
The news push also included a picture of Freddie and Wendy standing side by side.
Looking at the time, it should have been taken at the airport today.
Only then did Violet remember that Skyler had said that on the day that she was going to Azure City, Freddie was to return to Summerwood City. So, Freddie could be at the airport now?
In the past two years, when she saw the name Freddie Stanton, she almost subconsciously felt uncomfortable.
Thinking that the person might be less than two kilometers away from her in a straight line, she pursed her lips tightly and subconsciously tightened her grip on the phone, her knuckles turning white.
Skyler, sensitive to Violet’s discomfort, happened to see the news about Freddie returning to the country.
She thought of Violet's distress and could not help but ask, “Violet, are you alright?”
Violet shook her head. “I’m fine!”
Skyler’s lips moved, and she was about to ask a few more questions when she saw Violet stand up. “I’m going to the bathroom!” With.that, Violet left quickly.

Chapter 16:1
Once in the bathroom, she entered a stall, tu cold water on her face, feeling her head clu
She dried her face and turned around, intendu.
In the end, she heard a woman coming out of a cubicle, talking on.. phone with a smile. “Those reporters are fast. | just saw them. They’ve already posted our photos!”
The person on the other end of the call must have said something, and the woman’s laughter faded. “Freddie, didn’t we already agree before we returned to the country? | don’t want to quarrel over these things again, okay?”
When Violet heard this name, her back instantly stiffened. Even without turning around, she could guess who the woman on the phone was. It was Freddie’s fiancée, Wendy!
She quickly removed her hand from under the dryer and walked out of the bathroom in a panic. Her back view appeared somewhat chaotic.
Violet stepped out of the bathroom and could not resist pulling at her lips self-deprecatingly. She had not anticipated that, two years later, she would flee from Wendy without ever meeting her face to face. It was quite a comical situation!
Speaking of it, she had known Freddie for seven years, including the two years they had not met. However, it was not until the fifth year that she discovered his fiancée.
She had met Freddie when she was thirteen. At that time, her mother Martha had passed on for several years, and she was still in high school while Freddie had already entered university. He had pursued continuous education through undergraduate and postgraduate studies and had become a master’s student.
At that time, Henry treated her especially badly. She only felt aggrieved, but she never knew the reason.
During her school days, she often faced bullying and harassment from troublemakers on her way home. It was on one of these occasions when

Freddie stepped in to help her. He confronted the troublemakers and told her that if she did not want to be bullied, she needed to learn to defend
herself.
After that incident, she encountered Freddie several times on that same road. Gradually, they became more familiar with each other. Freddie taught her how to defend herself and to play pool, and he enjoyed spending time with her.
At the age of 13, she was in the midst of her first crush, and at that time, Violet had already regarded Freddie as the hero who had rescued her from danger. She fell in love with him without hesitation.
However, he was like the distant moon beyond her reach. Violet carefully concealed her feelings.
Ayear later, she got into Summerwood University’s Jewelry Design program, where Freddie studied, and their relationship grew stronger.
It was not till she was about to graduate from college that Freddie’s fiancée, Wendy, returned to the country. Her presence disrupted all the tranquility.
Wendy’s sharp and sarcastic remarks bluntly exposed the secret crush that Violet had been carefully hiding.
At that time, Violet was only 18 years old. The moment her crush was exposed under broad daylight, she felt utterly embarrassed!
She had fallen for a guy who already had a fiancée. What was the difference between that and being a third party?
Martha had been driven to her death by Elaine, a third party. Violet never imagined that one day she would bear the same label. She made a quick decision and, without hesitation, pretended to be in a relationship with Russell to completely distance herself from Freddie!
After that, Freddie left the country with Wendy.
The memories came to a sudden halt, and Violet laughed at herself. It was
& M/T
all in the past, with nothing worth clinging to!
With this in mind, she walked toward the lounge. However, she had only taken two steps when she saw someone approaching her. When she saw the face clearly, Violet's mind went blank in an instant, and she wast completely taken aback.
