Chapter 193

Freddie smiled and said calmly, “For some reason, I don’t want to go.”

“Oh, come on… So now you can control yourself, huh?”

“Well, well, well… Don’t tell me you can control yourself just because of a beauty!”

The crowd couldn’t help but tease him.

Freddie just smiled and did not say anything.

Jules knew very well that Freddie just wanted to go out and look for Violet. The smile he gave Freddie was extremely ambiguous.

Everyone joked and chatted for a while. Just as Jules suggested they play truth or dare, Freddie’s phone rang.

“You’re so busy, man!” they called out to Freddie.

Once Freddie left, Jules wanted to bring it up again. However, the moment. he opened his mouth, Violet’s phone rang.

Jules teased with a wry smile, “Violet, you and Freddie are here to cause trouble for me, aren’t you?”

Violet saw Patrick’s caller ID and smiled helplessly. “Of course not. My boyfriend is here to pick me up!”

The smile on Jules’s face changed slightly. “Oh, sure. It’s okay!”

The person beside him said, “Her boyfriend is a handsome guy. Hurry up and ask him to come up!”

Violet answered the call. “Hello!”

Patrick went straight to the point. “Where are you?”

Violet said, “The banquet hall on the 15th floor. I’ll come down now!”

“No need. I’ll come up and pick you up!” Patrick said and hung up.

He had been in the business world for so long, how could he not understand what was going on?

Most of the time, Violet would ignore him. Even if something happened, she would not say anything unless he took the initiative to help her.

Today, however, she sounded hesitant when she called him. It was obvious. that she had been put in a difficult position.

Judging from the nature of this gathering, Patrick already had a plan in

mind.

After Violet hung up, everyone looked at her eagerly. “Your boyfriend is coming?”

Violet nodded unnaturally.

Jules panicked. “I’m going out for a while!”

He had to find Freddie as soon as possible. It turned out that Violet indeed. had a boyfriend! And her boyfriend was on the way to the banquet hall! “Where did that guy go?” Jules asked inwardly.

Not long after Jules left, Violet saw Patrick appear at the entrance of the banquet hall.

The moment Patrick entered, he attracted countless people’s attention.

Patrick always kept a low profile. Many people knew him, but they might not be able to associate him with the jewelry emperor Patrick Hersey on

the Internet.

He looked around and immediately saw Violet. He walked straight over.

The alumni around Violet looked amazed and whispered, “This is your boyfriend? He’s so hot!”

“Oh my go d, he’s exactly the male lead I imagined in the novel!”

“Tsk, tsk, from head to toe, everything he’s wearing is handmade. I’ve finally seen the legendary magnate in real life!”

“Dam n! That Patek Phil*ppe stainless steel watch costs nearly 16 million. dollars. It can be seen as a collection. This is unbelievable! I really don’t understand the life of the rich!”

“Oh my g od…”

At the moment, Violet seemed to hear the sound of someone swallowing.

She had been used to being with Patrick, so she did not notice these facts

at all.

Moreover, Patrick had so many watches and cars, some of which were beyond her knowledge, so she didn’t take them to heart.

When Patrick walked up to Violet, everyone was still staring at him.

Patrick’s voice was clear as he said, “Sorry, I’m late. There’s a traffic jam on the way!”

Violet smiled. “It’s fine. I’m not in a hurry!”

Everyone looked at Patrick in astonishment as if they were worshipping a go d.

Patrick sat beside Violet, his posture noble and distant. “Hello, everyone. I’m Violet’s boyfriend!”

He had no intention of telling the crowd his name. These people were smart enough and did not ask further.

Someone suggested drinking. Before Patrick could say anything, Violet. rejected it on his behalf. “His back is injured. He can’t drink recently!”

Someone teased, “No way, Violet. Wasn’t your boyfriend still at the bar when you called?”

“Well, well, well, you’re so protective of your boyfriend!”

Patrick’s eyes narrowed. He had already guessed that Violet might have. been forced to put him on speaker earlier.

His expression was indecipherable as he placed his hand on the sofa

behind Violet. It looked like he was half-hugging her.

Violet felt a little helpless. She could not help but frown. “I’m telling the

truth!”

“Even if it’s true, it won’t work. How can your boyfriend not drink when you are meeting your alumni?” A boy jeered.

Patrick leaned against the sofa and lazily looked up at him. The boy immediately fell silent and lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Patrick’s gaze always made people feel inexplicably pressured.

There seemed to be an invisible chasm between him and these people.

Violet had no intention of staying any longer. She said that she still had to work the next day, so she pulled Megan and left with Patrick.

As soon as she left, the banquet hall erupted.

“See? This is what I call a perfect match! Look at her boyfriend. I can tell at a glance that he’s not an ordinary person!”

“That man looks a little familiar. Has anyone seen him before? I keep feeling like I’ve seen him somewhere before!

“Stop bragging. This kind of person is way out of our league. He’s just like those big shots on television. Even if he walks up to you, you might not

know him!”

Everyone discussed animatedly.

When Jules returned, he found that Violet had already left. Unfortunately, he had yet to find Freddie.

At the same time, in a certain room in the Sunny May Hotel.

Freddie frowned and looked at Wendy. “Didn’t we agree before we

returned that you wouldn’t appear in front of Violet?”

Wendy glanced at Freddie. “Freddie, I’m just respecting you. Furthermore, our agreement is that if Violet agrees to be with you, I will annul the

engagement. Don’t try to alter the facts!”

Freddie frowned. “In any case, don’t appear in front of her again. I don’t want her to be agitated like back then!
