With that, Riley left in her high heels.

She could not let this matter rest just like that!

She had to get to the bottom of it. She must ask the Hersey family and Gloria. Otherwise, she would not be able to take this lying down.

Rose looked at Riley’s back and smiled sarcastically. She did not want to be used as a tool to deal with someone else. Well… Could Riley swallow this anger?

Speaking of which, Riley indeed couldn’t take this lying down. She left Moonlight Pavilion, got into the car, and called Gloria directly.

As soon as the call went through, she went straight to the point and asked, ” Gloria, do you know that Violet and Patrick had registered their marriage?”

Gloria was stunned. She sounded a little surprised. “You know it?”

Riley was so angry that she almost cursed. “So, you know it, but you refuse to tell me. Are you playing with me like a monkey?”

Gloria quickly apologized. “Riley, it’s not like that. You’re overthinking it. I’m just… I’ll tell you the truth. I’m very unwilling to break up with Patrick, especially after knowing that he married Violet. I can’t take this lying down. I’m overseas now and haven’t dealt with the matters at hand. It’s not convenient for me to return to the country!

“Riley, I’m not lying to you. I knew you were interested in Patrick in the past, but if I told you he’s already married, you probably wouldn’t do anything because of your status in the entertainment industry. That’s why I hid it from you. To tell the truth, Riley, I’d rather Patrick be with you than that girl of the Webb family. Do you understand? Besides, he can still get a divorce even if he’s married. With Patrick’s status, isn’t it better to be with him than marrying another man?”

After listening to her, Riley sneered. “I’m afraid it’s inconvenient for you to return to the country, so you asked me to deal with Violet. When you return to the country, you can kick me away and reap the benefits. Gloria, you’re thinking too well. To think that I’ve always been worried about you. I like Patrick, but I kept a distance from him in the past. I’ve finally seen through you today. Let’s end our friendship here!”

With that, Riley hung up.

She did have her own thoughts, but she did not hide it only after Gloria and Patrick broke up.

She could not accept that Gloria was using her as a tool.

Riley hung up the phone, blacklisted Gloria, and drove home.

As for the Stanton family hiding Patrick’s marriage and asking her to go on a blind date with him, she had to get her family to demand an explanation.

“No matter how much power the Stanton family has, they can’t disregard the Anne family, right?” Riley thought.

Speaking of which, Violet and Patrick had just returned to Hersey Court.

Patrick had just wrapped her in his arms when his phone rang.

Patrick let go of Violet with a dark expression and answered the call.

Nelson’s anxious voice came through the phone. “Mr. Hersey, the typhoon ‘Sea Rabbit‘ came ashore today and swept through Oceanfront City. The situation of the largest coastal jewelry processing factory of our company is still unknown. Due to the typhoon, many people have lost contact. What do you think we should do next?”

Patrick’s face instantly darkened. His expression was solemn. “Book me the earliest. plane ticket. I’ll go over overnight!”

Most jewelry processing factories in Oceanfront City used pearls as the raw materials. Because the coastal area produced more top–notch pearls, the processing factory was opened there.

There hadn’t been much of a problem in the past few years, but he didn’t expect the typhoon this year to be so severe.

When Nelson heard Patrick’s words, he sounded worried. “Mr. Hersey, the typhoon over there is strong. It’s said that there are especially many casualties now. Why don’t you…

Of course, Patrick understood what Nelson meant. However, such an incident had happened to the company’s factory. If someone died, he could not absolve himself from the blame. The earlier he went, the earlier he could settle the workers.

He said in a deep voice, “You don’t have to persuade me. I have to go over personally to oversee this matter. Book a plane ticket!”

Nelson sighed. “Alright, I’ll go with you!”

Patrick hung up the phone and saw Violet looking worried. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

Patrick told Violet about the situation in Oceanfront City.

Violet’s expression turned grave.

Chapter 337

She naturally knew the seriousness of this matter. After the typhoon, if there were casualties, especially in the factory, the standards of the factory’s buildings would be measured.

Natural disasters were unavoidable, but if factories collapsed and casualties were caused because of unqualified buildings, the company would be responsible.

If Patrick did not go afraid and fool him.

over now and the situation was severe, the people below might be

Given the seriousness of the matter, Patrick should indeed go and take a look.

However, when she thought about the current situation, Violet was still worried. You can go over, but you must be careful!”

When Patrick heard Violet’s words, he nodded seriously. “I will pay attention! Don’t worry, I will return safely!”

Violet did not expect that after they confirmed their relationship, Patrick would go on a business trip in less than a day.

As the flight was scheduled for ten o’clock, Patrick was about to set off for the airport.

After packing up, Patrick did not mess around. He just hugged Violet quietly for a while. before letting go.

Nelson drove to pick him up. He was already at the door.

Patrick rubbed Violet’s hair and said gently, “Be good and wait for me to come back!”

Violet nodded obediently. “Be careful too. Safety first!”

Patrick looked at Violet reluctantly. With a deep gaze, he opened the door and left.

After Patrick left, Violet looked at the empty villa and felt lost.

At the same time, the Anne family villa was brightly lit.

Mary looked at her daughter with a dark expression. “What did you say? Patrick is already married?”

Riley suppressed her temper and nodded. “Yes, he’s been married for three months. After I went to investigate, I found it was true. That’s why I told you!”

Mary was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. “Then what’s the Stanton family up to when they ask me to bring you to a blind date? What do they think my daughter is? What do they think the Anne family is? Don’t tell me they want our Riley to be a mistress! The Stanton family is too much of a bully. The Anne family is considered.

famous in Summerwood City. They’re simply bullying us!”

Looking at her mother’s angry expression, Riley knew that her mother was still suppressing the anger in her heart because she was humiliated when she went to the Stanton family for dinner that day!

She lowered her head. Then, she said in a muffled voice, “That’s right. We do not dare to offend the Stanton family, but they went too far this time!”

When Mary heard her daughter’s words, she turned to look at her husband, Thompson. Anne. “Say something. Thompson, others have already bullied your daughter like this. Can you still tolerate it?”

Thompson’s eyes flashed, and his expression did not look good.

He looked at Riley. “Do you know anything about the woman’s background?”

Riley pouted. “She’s just a girl from a small family. There’s nothing to be afraid of!”
