Chapter 267

As soon as Violet finished speaking, she regretted it!

Why did she have to lie? She made it seem like she had a guilty conscience.

But if she told the truth… Patrick would probably really be angry.

After all, Patrick already minded her having dinner with someone else today. If she said it was the same person, who knew what he would think!

When Patrick heard what Violet had said, his tone softened, but it was still filled with doubt. “Really?”

Violet thought of Patrick having a blind date with someone else. How dared he even ask her who she had eaten with?

Her tone sounded cold and angry. “Mr. Hersey, if you don’t believe me, you can go and have a check. You’re so resourceful. I don’t think such a small matter can stump you!”

Violet was furious. Although the anger was not obvious, Patrick still sensed it and was. stunned a bit. “I’m just asking. Why do you become so angry?”

Violet’s l*ps twitched sarcastically. “Then let me ask you. Mr. Hersey, the dinner tasted good tonight?”

Hearing Violet’s sarcastic words, Patrick frowned. “What do you mean by saying that?”

Violet snorted. “Nothing much. That’s it. I’m hanging up!”

With that, she hung up. Even if paper figurines had tempers too!

Patrick minded her having dinner with others, but he went on a blind date himself. Who did he think he was?

Violet knew very well that if she had not fallen in love with him, she might not have cared so much.

Patrick frowned as he looked at the phone that was hung up.

At this moment, Robert called.

“Patrick, what are you doing now? Come and let’s have a drink with me. Robert sounded listless as if he had been provoked.

Patrick’s tone was dry. “Why? Didn’t you drink enough yesterday?”

Robert responded listlessly, “I’m in a bad mood now!”

As Robert was a self-disciplined man, it was rare to see him like that.

Patrick’s eyes flashed. “Who provoked you?”

Robert sighed and could not help upsetting. “Megan has started to hide from me. I don’t even know what I did wrong. When I went to your company today, she hid from me. I called her but she didn’t answer and she didn’t text back. So I went to her house to meet her. But she didn’t come home even at a time like this!”

Patrick held the phone with one hand and rubbed his eyebrows with the other. “Where are you now? I’m coming over now!”

Robert finally seemed to sound a bit vigorous. “Come to Timeless Bar!”

Patrick hung up, started the car, and headed to the bar.

When he had just arrived at the entrance of the bar Robert called again.

“Patrick, why are you so slow today? Haven’t you come yet?” Robert sounded like he had drunk a lot.

Patrick responded in a calm tone, “I’ll be there soon!”

He was making a phone call as he walked in.

But he bumped into someone.

Before he could recognize who was it, the person hurriedly apologized, “Mr. Hersey,

I’m sorry,

I didn’t look where I was going just now!”

Only then did he recognize that the person was actually Violet’s ex-boyfriend, Russell.

He put on an unpleasant expression and said coldly, “Watch where you’re going!”

With that, he was about to enter the bar.

However, Russell suddenly stopped him. ‘Mr. Hersey, you haven’t divorced Violet, right?”

Patrick’s gaze suddenly turned cold.

He turned around and looked at Russell. “What do you mean by that?”

Russell felt a little indignant at the thought of Freddie’s punch.

His eyes flashed, and with his drunkenness, he suddenly said, “Do you know who I saw Violet having dinner with tonight?”

Patrick turned around completely and looked at him at the entrance of the bar where

Even if Patrick had quarreled with Violet, he would not allow anyone to say anything bad about her!

Russell immediately felt choked in his throat. He swallowed and looked straight at Patrick. “Mr. Hersey, I’m not trying to sow discord. I just want to tell the truth. Violet doesn’t like you!”

Patrick’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “Oh, from what you’re saying, you think she likes. you?”

Russell laughed bitterly. “How is that possible? I’ve spent so many years but I still can’t make her like me!”

As he spoke, he changed the topic. “But the person she likes is very outstanding. It’s

Patrick told himself rationally not to listen to Russell’s nonsense.

But he was controlled by his emotions. He stood stiffly there and heard himself mutter, “Outstanding…”

Russell also echoed, “Yes, outstanding. The person she likes is very outstanding!”

Patrick looked at Russell with a terrifying gaze, which made him shrink his shoulders. and take a step back. “Mr. Hersey, I’m just telling the truth. I’m not slandering her! Besides, I saw them eating together with my own eyes tonight!”

Patrick looked at Russell sinisterly. “The person you’re talking about is Skyler?”

Russell nodded. “Yes, it’s the Skyler from our university days!”

Patrick’s face was in the dark, but he did not change his expression. Then he asked, “How outstanding is that person?”

Russell hesitated for two seconds before telling the truth. “His family background and his ability are not inferior to you Mr. Hersey at all!”

Patrick retorted, “Then why did Violet get together with you back then if he is so outstanding?”

A trace of embarrassment and unwillingness flashed across Russell’s face. “Because

Skyler had a fiancée and had been hiding it from Violet. She couldn’t accept it for the time being when she found out the truth. So she asked me to pretend that we were in a relationship. But fortunately, the two of them weren’t together. It was me who kept pursuing her at the time. Later on, she was moved by my sincerity, so we got together and I became her boyfriend!”

A cold sneer appeared on Patrick’s face. He sneered. “Sincerity? If you were sincere, then why would you still be with Veronica back then?”

Russell looked embarrassed and regretful. “I have already regretted this. Of course, there’s another reason why Violet was with me back then!”

Patrick looked up lazily. “What was it?”

Russell hesitated. Panic flashed in his eyes. “I… I saved her life in the past. Violet. couldn’t swim at the time. She almost drowned once. I passed by and saved her!”

When Patrick learned that Violet had almost drowned, Patrick’s heart sk ipped a beat.

He subconsciously clenched his fists and his expression changed slightly. “Violet

couldn’t swim?”
