Violet was caught off guard and immediately fought back.

However, a group of people rushed toward her, overwhelming her. She couldn’t defend herself against so many people.

Countless hands and feet charged toward her.

Violet could clearly hear the middle-aged woman who was hitting her shouting, “You murderer! I’ll kill you! Why don’t you die? Give me back my daughter!”

The security guards outside shouted, “There’s a fight! We need more people to come and stop this!”

Violet was trapped in the circle of attackers. She tried her best to shield her head and avoid the blows raining down on her.

It took quite some time for the security guards to control the enraged crowd and rescue. Violet.

Her hair was in disarray, her clothes torn, and her face and arms marked with bruises. She looked extremely disheveled.

Violet watched as the security guards kept the people who had hit her outside. She held. her bag and felt a sharp pain all over her b*dy. At this moment, she just wanted to find a secluded place to hide. She had a rough idea of who these people might be.

However, she needed to understand the situation better.

But just as she was about to turn away, a car screeched to a halt in front of the company building. The driver’s seat opened, and Patrick rushed out.

Violet’s expression changed, and she instinctively used her bag to cover her face, intending to make a dash for the company.

When Patrick saw Violet clearly, his pupils constricted sharply. He strode over in large strides and grabbed her arm firmly. “Violet!”

Violet was being held back by Patrick, and she knew that it was futile to escape from

him now.

Patrick looked at the bruises on Violet’s face, and his breathing tightened slightly. The pain in his eyes was about to overflow.

He unconsciously applied a bit more force to Violet’s arm and said in a deeply serious tone, “I’m sorry, I’m late.”

On the way, he received a message informing him that Violet had been attacked. Hence, he quickly sped up and drove over.

Although he tried his best to come over as soon as possible, he was still too late to prevent Violet from being hurt.

Violet bit her l*p and decided to remove her handbag to uncover her face. With bruises on her face, she looked up at Patrick. She said, “You don’t need to apologize. This has nothing to do with you, and I’m not seriously injured. Besides, I’ve figured out who those people are. They must be Rebecca’s family. Their daughter died in my room, so it’s understandable that they’re upset.”

Patrick’s handsome face tensed up severely. “Even if they’re upset, they shouldn’t have attacked you. This has nothing to do with you.”

Violet pursed her l*ps. “It’s true that it has nothing to do with me. But since Rebecca, died in my room, her family sees it differently.”

Patrick wanted to say something but hesitated. His mouth moved, but in the end, he did not say anything.

Violet glanced at his injured hand and said in a gentle voice, “Okay, it’s just some superficial wounds. Nothing serious. But can you drive with your hand like that? Why did you come here by yourself?”

Patrick looked at the bruises on Violet’s b*dy, and he felt a sharp pang of pain. His eyes were red with anger. “Who told you to come to work alone? If I don’t drive myself, how. can I get to the company?”

Violet understood that Patrick was worried about her. She said nicely, “I did lose my temper at you for no reason last night, so I felt a bit awkward. I didn’t want to face you, so I left early.”

With that, she lowered her head and looked at Patrick’s hand. “You should let go of me first. The gauze is bleeding again. Let me take a look at your hand.

Patrick seemed instantly affected. His voice filled with annoyance as he said, “Is that all you care about, Violet? If this wound wasn’t because of you, would you still be concerned about me?”

Violet looked at Patrick, slightly confused. “Of course, I would. I’m just showing concern for you.”

Upon hearing this, Patrick was completely stunned.

He stared at Violet for a moment, then suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace.

Violet quickly pushed him away. “Let go of me. This is the entrance of the company!”

However, Patrick’s embrace only tightened.

Violet was a bit afraid of being seen, so she nervously spoke up, “I’m a bit sore. Can you please let go for now?”

Upon hearing this, Patrick immediately released his grip, looking somewhat flustered as he gazed at Violet. He said with great concern, “Where does it hurt? I’ll take you to the hospital right away!”

Violet looked around. She was relieved that there were no employees at the entrance. just now.

She looked at Patrick helplessly and said, “I don’t need to go to the hospital. It’s just some bruises on my b*dy. It’s not that serious.”

Upon hearing this, Patrick’s face darkened significantly.

He stared at Violet and said firmly, “Don’t worry. I will deal with this matter. And also, about what happened last night, you don’t need to feel guilty. I understand that you were scared. After all, someone died, and they were after you. It’s natural for you to feel upset and flustered. But rest assured, I will protect you.”

Violet’s eyes flickered, and she felt a warm surge in her heart. “Patrick, thank you.”

Patrick looked at Violet, his expression softening slightly. He reached out and gently. ruffled her hair.

At this moment, Rebecca’s mother, who had been blocked by the security guards, was growing impatient.

She was like a shrew, jumping and shouting like a madwoman. She pointed at the company’s entrance and berated loudly, “This company is despicable! Instead of working properly, they have to go out for team building. Now, they’ve killed my daughter. If you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll throw myself in front of a car right. here. I’ll make sure the police come and arrest all of you!”

Violet furrowed her brows. She had never imagined that the proud Rebecca had come from such a family.

The Lexington family had brought many people with them. Violet saw that some were holding wreaths and standing on the outskirts, while others held banners that read “Return my daughter’s life.”

Violet couldn’t help but frown. She was about to say something when she heard. Patrick’s low voice saying, “Wait, I’ll handle this.”

Patrick turned to face Claudia Lexington, Rebecca’s mother. His expression turned particularly grim. “You must be Rebecca’s mother. Yesterday, I tried to contact you, but unfortunately, you missed us. Today, I’ll make things clear. We can offer compensation.”

He continued, “However, just because you’ve lost your daughter doesn’t give you the right to harm others or seek revenge on society. I’m telling you, I won’t let this assault go unpunished. Wait for my lawyer’s letter.”

Violet stared at Patrick’s retreating figure, feeling an indescribable emotion.

She knew that Patrick wasn’t normally so assertive. It was only because she had been attacked that he had reacted this way.

At this moment, she seemed to feel the depth of Patrick’s affection for her.

Although Patrick was often gruff, every time she got into trouble, he would charge in without complaint, seeking justice for her.

How could there not be feelings between them?

Violet looked at Patrick, her gaze unwavering. Her hidden affection seemed to burn even more intensely.

Upon hearing Patrick’s words, Claudia’s eyes widened in anger. “What? You want to sue me? You heartless people, all of you are in cahoots together. My daughter is dead, and you think you can harm others and get away with it? Don’t think I don’t know. My daughter died in the room of this woman named Violet Webb. Her death is definitely related to her! I will get justice for my daughter today!”

Upon hearing this, Patrick looked at her with an angry expression.

He immediately dialed the ambulance. “Hello, I want to report an incident. We’re at the entrance of Foreverie Jewelry. Someone here has physically attacked my employee and engaged in severe defamation. Please send officers right away!”
