Chapter 179
Violet's face instantly turned extremely twisted. “You don’t have to do this.”
“Then will you come to the Alumni Gathering?” Freddie’s tone was still as gentle and calm as ever.
Violet closed her eyes helplessly. “Alright, I'll come!”
He did not force Violet. He only forced everyone to accommodate her time. However, Violet was much more unacceptable about this and could only agree to participate in the Alumni Gathering.
Freddie knew her well enough to know that she would not be willing to affect everyone because of her.
Freddie’s voice finally carried a hint of a smile. “I knew you wouldn’t reject me. Viola, | really want to see you!”
Violet did not know how to respond to his words. She said stiffly, “Freddie, I’m going to sleep. Let's see at the Alumni Gathering!” Freddie hung up reluctantly.
Seeing that Violet hung up the phone, Patrick looked up at her with a calm expression. “Who is it?” It was hard to tell if he was happy or angry.
Violet sat opposite him obediently and answered truthfully, “A senior at my college.”
Patrick’s eyes darkened. “Why is he calling?”
Violet suddenly could not stand his tone as if he was interrogating a criminal. She frowned and said, “He asked me if I'd participate in the Alumni Gathering!”
Patrick’s face was cold as a flash of light came across his eyes. He sensed Violet’s displeasure and did not continue asking. At this moment, he suddenly could not explain how he felt, nor did he
have the mood to explain to Violet what was going on between him and Rose.

He could tell that Violet didn’t want to know.
In the past, all his warnings and neglect toward Violet were because he didn’t like her.
And now, all his anxiety and uneasiness with Violet was because he liked
her.
Violet glanced at Patrick and could clearly feel his displeasure.
She did not know why Patrick suddenly lost his temper.
However, when she thought of how Patrick had rushed over to block the attack for her, her heart softened. She took the initiative to give in and said, “Mr. Hersey, did you want to tell me something before?”
Patrick looked up at her. “I forgot!”
Violet looked a little helpless and embarrassed.
She thought about it and took a deep breath. Pursing her lips, she said, “Mr. Hersey, no matter what, | owe you a sincere thank you. You saved me twice in a day. I’m really...”
Patrick’s face immediately turned cold. “Violet, can’t you think of anything else to say other than thanking me?”
Violet looked up at him in confusion. “Huh?”
Patrick could clearly see that Violet’s good attitude toward him was entirely because he had saved her.
However, he didn’t just want this!
He was unprecedentedly frustrated and said, “Nothing. | just wanted to tell you that | saved you because | didn’t want to see a woman being humiliated and injured in front of me. Don’t think too much about it. This is the least sense of justice and guts a man has. You don’t have to keep thanking me. There’s really no need!”
After saying this, Patrick stood up and walked toward the master bedroom.
Violet frowned and felt a little depressed. She could not understand why Patrick suddenly lost his temper.
The next morning, Violet woke up to find Patrick already gone.
She arrived at the banquet at 9:30 a.m. with Megan.
She accompanied Megan to the washroom.
But as soon as Megan entered the cubicle, an uninvited guest entered the
washroom.
“Ms. Webb, how’s your health? | heard that you had a serious allergic reaction that day!” Ellie looked at Violet hypocritically and pretended to care about her.
Violet said calmly, “As you see, I’m fine now.”
Ellie could tell that Violet did not like her. She laughed awkwardly but did not leave. Instead, she continued, “Ms. Webb, | heard that your best friend is also in Azure City.”
Violet looked at her coldly. “Ms. Steele, what are you trying to say?”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Ellie was with Skyler when he went to pick up Megan, but she was now playing dumb in front of Violet. Violet did not know what evil tricks Ellie had up her sleeve.
Ellie smiled unnaturally. “Ms. Webb, don’t be so aggressive. I’m just afraid. that you'll be tricked!”
At this point, she lowered her voice and said, “You might not know, but Megan takes a fancy to Skyler!”
After saying that, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Violet teasingly.
Previously, whenever she talked to Skyler, Violet would be angry.
She naturally thought that Violet liked Skyler, which was why Violet. treated her like that.
That day at the airport, Skyler chased after Megan. Ellie was so

embarrassed and felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, she could tell that the person Megan liked was also Skyler.
Ellie imagined things and thought these two best friends both fell in love with Skyler. She had planned to tell Violet about Megan's feelings for
Skyler today. Unexpectedly, they bumped into each other in the washroom.
She could not wait to sow discord and watch the two fight!
The two best friends fell in love with the same man and then turned against each other. Just thinking about it was exciting! Violet looked at Ellie and said coldly, “So what?”
Ellie’s eyes were filled with excitement. She thought, “As expected, she was indeed angry. Even her tone turned cold!”
