Chapter 294
Violet sighed when she heard Sophia’s reply and said, “Alright, if I have any news about
Robert, I’ll give you a heads up. Just don’t talk about trying to compete with Megan for
him. Megan was never together with Robert. It was just wishful thinking on his part!”
Violet was very straightforward in her words. Sophia was a bit surprised and looked a bit
confused as she said, “How could it be… Mr. Foster… he’s so good, why wouldn’t Megan
like him?”
Violet furrowed her brow. Thinking that no matter what happened, Sophia would always be
the first to stand up for her. She said with emphasis, “Sophia, just because you think he’s
good doesn’t mean everyone else does. Different strokes for different folks, do
you
understand?”
Sophia seemed a bit confused. She nodded in a daze and said, “I think I understand.”
Violet nodded and replied, “Alright, now go back to work and stop overthinking things!”
Sophia looked a bit downcast. Then, she turned around and went back to work.
Violet promised to inform Sophia if there were any updates about Robert.
Sophia didn’t expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
At noon, Patrick sent a message.
Patrick asked, [Violet, would you accompany me to a charity dinner tonight?]
Violet was momentarily stunned. Patrick had gone to great lengths and even got injured.
for her sake. This small request was nothing in comparison. He even took the initiative to
ask for her opinion first. It made Violet feel that he respected her a lot.
Violet replied, [Of course!]
After sending the message, she stayed silent for a couple of seconds and then suddenly
wanted to ask a question.
Violet asked, [Is Robert going tonight?]
Patrick asked in return, [Yes, he’s going too. But why do you want to ask about him?]
Violet replied, [Nothing, I’m just curious!]
Patrick said, [After work, I’ll pick you up to do your styling and choose a dress!]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtViolet replied, [Alright!

Chapter 291
After work, Patrick took Violet to the styling studio they had been to before for the jewelry
gala.
Even though Patrick knew that Violet was shockingly beautiful with just a little
embellishment, when she came out after her styling, he was still stunned for a few
seconds.
When Violet arrived at the charity dinner, she saw Sophia obediently following Abel, and
her gaze kept drifting toward the entrance of the banquet hall.
Violet knew that Robert would also be coming, so she reminded Sophia in the afternoon.
However, she didn’t expect Sophia to come along with her cousin.
Violet looked at Sophia with a complicated expression. Matters of the heart were only
known best to the one involved, and it was probably impossible to explain Sophia’s
feelings in just a few words.
Megan currently had no interest in Robert. Since Sophia had a crush on Robert, Violet
didn’t want to interfere too much in what would ultimately happen.
The first half of the charity banquet was dedicated to networking and exchanging business
information as attendees sought potential collaborations.
The second half was a charity auction. All the proceeds from the auction would be donated
to the children in the remote mountain areas.
Not long after Violet arrived, Robert also arrived.
However, when she saw him coming in with Megan, Violet was still taken aback.
She instinctively looked at Sophia. The melancholy and bitterness in Sophia’s eyes were
evident.
Violet let out a slight sigh.
Then, she saw Megan let go of Robert and walk toward her.
Patrick saw Megan approaching, and he said in a low voice, “You two go talk. I’ll go
somewhere else.”
Violet nodded.
As soon as Patrick left, Violet couldn’t help but ask Megan, “Why are you here? I thought
you were avoiding Robert and wouldn’t come with him!”
Megan’s cold face showed a trace of irritation when she heard this. “If someone pesters
you all day, you’d probably agree too. Besides, he told me you would be coming, so I
came to see you. I want to check if your injuries are better.”
Chapter 294
Previously, Patrick had been keeping a close eye on Violet, and Violet didn’t want Megan
to see her in her injured state. So, she declined Megan’s offer to come and see her.
She hadn’t expected Megan to worry about her for so long, and she felt a bit guilty.
Thinking about Sophia’s situation, she tentatively asked, “Megan, it’s obvious that Robert
is pursuing you. Do you have any other thoughts about it?”
Megan glanced at Violet and said, “He and I are just friends. Don’t let your imagination run
wild!”
Seeing Megan’s attitude, Violet realized Megan had no interest in Robert at all. She
couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, before she could catch her breath, she heard a mocking voice say, “Violet, I
can’t believe you’d dare to come to a place like this!”
Violet furrowed her brow and turned to look at Riley, who was wearing a mocking
expression. Violet retorted, “A place like this? What do you mean? Why can you come, but
I can’t?”
Megan’s cold little face tensed up as if she was about to fly into a rage. Violet pulled her
hand back, urging her not to act impulsively.
Riley didn’t expect Violet to respond in this manner.
Although she could tell Patrick might have feelings for Violet, it was nothing. With the
Webb family’s status, trying to break into the upper echelons of Summerwood City was
simply wishful thinking.
Furthermore, the Stanton family was a major player in the business world, and Patrick was
the heir to the Hersey family in Leken City. How could he possibly marry a lowly woman
like Violet?
With these thoughts in mind, Riley’s sarcasm and disdain grew stronger. “Ridiculous, you
dare to question me. This is a charity dinner, and people without a certain family
background or net worth in the millions shouldn’t even think about entering here!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmViolet looked at Riley with a deep gaze and did not say a word. She didn’t even know what
kind of people would receive the invitations for this charity dinner.
When Riley saw Violet remain silent, she thought she had intimidated Violet. Then, Shet
raised her chin even higher. She said arrogantly, “People like you simply don’t belong in
this circle. Don’t force your way in. You’ll end up utterly embarrassed yourself. Don’t
blame me for not warning you!”
Chapter 294
Violet’s eyes flickered. She retorted, “Well, I must thank you for the reminder. It’s just at
pity that I don’t know what circle you’re referring to! Please forgive my ignorance.”
Riley’s expression stiffened. After saying so much, it seemed like she was talking to a brick
wall.
However, when she looked at Violet’s half-smiling face, she suddenly realized.
It wasn’t that Violet didn’t understand, but that she was deliberately toying with her.
Violet’s attitude infuriated Riley. Her face turned displeased. “Violet, how dare mock me!”
you
Violet put on an innocent expression and said, “You’re the one who insists on allowing me
to
mock you. If I don’t tease you a little, it would be a waste of opportunity!”
Riley was so angry that she was trembling she reached out and wanted to slap Violet. She
said furiously, “You have a sharp tongue, bi tch!”
However, as soon as she raised her hand, Violet grabbed her wrist.
In a cold voice, Violet said, “Ms. Anne, you’re a celebrity, a public figure. Please mind your
image. Don’t go around like a shrew, throwing a fit and hitting people, okay?”
Riley was extremely angry. Her face contorted in rage. She reached for a glass of red wine
from the nearby table with her other hand and poured it all over Violet.
Violet was wearing a white evening gown. If it got stained with red wine, let’s see how she
could still act so proud!
At the moment the wine was being poured, suddenly, a figure in a white suit flashed over,
shielding Violet in his arms. The red wine splashed all over his back.
