Chapter 108~

Violet’s b*dy stiffened, and she sat down with gritted teeth.

Yvonne suddenly looked at Violet and crawled towards her directly. “Violet, I’m sorry, it was my fault. I instructed Laurie to switch your design drawings. I knew her father was sick and needed money urgently. It was me who bribed people around Gabriel to transfer money to Laurie using his account!

“It was my naivety that led me to believe that even if you found something on Gabriel, you would not do anything to him. I had the company’s surveillance footage manipulated, and every mistake was all on me. I should not have been jealous of you and targeted you. I truly realize my mistake. Can you please ask Patrick to spare me?”

Violet’s face looked unpleasant, and she sat there stiffly without saying a word.

Yvonne clung to Violet’s trouser leg desperately, her voice filled with despair, on the verge of breaking down. “Violet, you’re a designer, you know how important hands are for a designer. If a designer loses a hand, can they still create any artwork? I’m begging you. Please, on account of our shared profession, forgive me.”

Gabriel and Patrick remained silent, and it seemed that everyone in the private suite was waiting for Violet’s response.

Violet’s heart felt heavy, and she looked at Patrick, saying, “Can I talk to

her?”

Patrick’s attitude was cold. “It’s up to you.”

Violet sighed softly and looked at Yvonne. After a long pause, she said, “You joined Foreverie Jewelry just to target me?”

Yvonne wiped away tears in embarrassment and replied, “Yes.”

Violet’s eyes flashed as she continued to ask, “Does this matter have

anything to do with Joanna Skeldon?”

Stunned, Yvonne shook her head. “It’s not related!”

To be precise, Joanna was aware of everything. Although she had suspicions of instigating some of it, even provided some information for The Dawn Jewelry Design Competition. However, at the end of the day, it was all done by Yvonne alone, which could be easily proven.

Violet was a little surprised, finding it different from what she had expected.

“Did you switch my design drafts because I confronted you at Moonlight Pavilion before?” Violet really could not understand. It was just a verbal dispute, yet Gabriel came to her specifically to stand up for Yvonne. She had thought the matter was resolved.

Even though Yvonne had not completely let go of her resentment, Violet would not have been too upset even if Yvonne had asked someone to confront her physically. But by altering her design behind her back, this was something Violet could not accept

If it were not for Patrick discovering it in advance, her winning the Century Jewelry Competition and then achieving nothing at The Dawn Jewelry Design Competition would have likely made everyone suspect that her previous award was questionable.

Yvonne raised her head and looked at Violet, her eyes red with tears. “Do you really have no idea why I have been targeting you?”

Violet appeared confused. “Should I know?”

Yvonne’s voice choked, and she glanced at Patrick, her voice full of aggrieved and vulnerability. “I like Patrick, can’t you see that? When you hit me that day, even though I sought Gabriel’s help to vent my frustration, I never had any intention of confronting you head-on! After Gabriel lost to you in billiards, he held you in high regard!

“But why does Patrick stand on your side too? Why? I have liked him for so

many years, and he would not even spare me a glance. You’ve only known him for a short time, and he’s so biased in your favor! Can you tell me. why? I’ve liked him so much, and now because of you, he wants to take my hand away. Violet, do you find it satisfying to see me in this state? Are you delighted?”

Yvonne’s voice became increasingly hysterical, and she let go of Violet’s trouser leg. no longer pleading. She sat on the floor without dignity.

Violet’s expression became incredibly complex. She had not expected that the root cause was Patrick all along. Her voice was somewhat helpless, replying. “Yvonne, your feelings for Patrick have nothing to do with me. You shouldn’t bring your personal emotions into work. It not only harms. me but also affects Foreverie Jewelry. If you genuinely like Patrick, you shouldn’t behave like this. Furthermore, Patrick isn’t favoring me. He’s just upholding fairness and justice!”

Suddenly, Yvonne burst into mocking laughter as if she had gone crazy. Her voice was dripping with sarcasm. Fairness and justice, haha, Violet, you’re so naive. Are you saying that Patrick is standing up for fairness and justice? This is ridiculous!”

Everyone in Summerwood City knew that Patrick was partial and biased. Could Yvonne not be aware of this? Patrick clearly treated Violet as one of his own, and it was ridiculous that Violet was here, trying to boost Yvonne’s confidence.

Yvonne looked at Violet and spoke directly, “Violet, you really make me sick!”

Gabriel’s expression darkened. “Yvonne, that’s enough!”

As if she had nothing to lose, Yvonne’s voice was filled with bitterness “What about it, Gabriel? Are you going to stand up for fairness and jus

too?”

Gabriel’s face turned grim. “Do you really not care about your life?”

Yvonne laughed more bitterly than crying. “I give up. If I surrender, will Patrick stop standing up for Violet? If I admit my mistakes, will he spare me?”

Gabriel fell silent.

Violet, exhausted, glanced at Patrick. “Patrick, hand her over to the police. I hope she faces legal consequences, not your judgment.”

Patrick raised his gaze, his voice chilling. “Are you sure?”

Violet’s face tightened, and she said firmly, “I’m sure.”

Patrick’s gaze turned heavy. “Violet, didn’t you say you would not play the saint when dealing with the real mastermind? If you want the law to punish her, then I have to tell you that with the power of the Williamson family, she might be in and out of jail in no time. Such matters can be easily settled with some money.”

Violet spoke earnestly, I’m not trying to be a saint. When normal people face such situations, shouldn’t they seek legal protection? Besides, I don’t want you to resort to such cruel methods just because of me!”

Patrick taunted Violet with a cold look. “Is this too cruel for you? Then you really need to broaden your h orizons!”
