Chapter 71~*~*

Violet suddenly turned around and saw Patrick protecting her in front and looking at Gabriel with a cold and indifferent expression.

Gabriel didn’t let go of Violet’s arm.

Seeing Patrick, Gabriel was stunned for a moment before sneering. He said, “Patrick, you have nothing else to do, right? You’re being too nosy. Does the distance between Vivi and me have anything to do with you?”

Patrick looked at Gabriel’s hand, which was holding Violet, in disgust. “Let go of her!”

The smile on Gabriel’s face faded. “What if I don’t let go?”

Patrick pulled Violet’s other arm. “Then don’t blame me for being rude!”

Gabriel looked at him indifferently. “Is that so? Then I want to see how you’re going to be rude!”

Patrick’s oppressive aura increased exponentially. He reached out and grabbed Gabriel’s hand, which was holding Violet, and was about to use

force.

Seeing that the two of them were at daggers drawn, there were already reporters looking over.

Violet frowned and said, “You two are hurting my arm!”

The strengths in her arms were reduced at the same time.

Violet quickly pulled her arms back. Her expression was a little dark. “If you two want to quarrel, please go on. Leave me out of this. I don’t want to be treated like a monkey who was playing a show!”

After she said that, Violet took a few steps back.

Patrick’s eyes darkened. He didn’t say anything and shook off Gabriel’s hand. He took a handkerchief and carefully wiped his hand as if Gabriel was something d*rty.

The corners of Gabriel’s mouth twitched twice as he snorted coldly.

He turned around and looked at Violet. His eyes flashed as he thought of yesterday evening when they were on the hospital roof. Violet also left directly as she did now.

He looked at Violet playfully, and his eyes were full of interest. “Vivi, since you don’t want to celebrate with me, I won’t force you. But, seriously, why don’t you consider our Bright Jewelry? I’m much easier to talk to than Patrick. Firstly, I don’t restrict the employees’ freedom to make friends, and secondly, I don’t force the employees to take sides. I’m a boss with a

conscience.”

Patrick’s expression instantly darkened.

Violet looked indifferent as she said, “Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t intend to change companies now!”

Violet walked to the car door and looked at Patrick, who had a gloomy look on his face. “Mr. Hersey, please make way. I’m leaving!”

Patrick looked at her deeply and turned to walk to his car.

Violet got into the car and drove away.

Patrick’s car also drove away.

Gabriel smiled, but his smile did not reach his eyes. He muttered, “It’s a pity to leave such a talent with Patrick!”

Violet’s car had just arrived at the Foreverie Jewelry parking lot when Patrick’s car stopped at the side.

Violet thought about what happened in the court just now and felt that she had to explain.

As soon as Patrick got out of the car, he saw Violet walking over calmly. She said with a solemn expression, “Mr. Hersey, at the court just now, Gabriel and I were not what you saw. Before the court session, he took the initiative to help me out. After the lawsuit, I ignored him. He was the one who insisted on chasing after me and asked me to celebrate…”

Before she could finish, Patrick interrupted her indifferently. “I know!”

Violet opened her mouth and looked at Patrick in a daze, not quite understanding his reaction.

Didn’t he say last night that he wanted her to keep a distance from

Gabriel?

In the end, when Gabriel was hot on her heels today, she thought Patrick would be unhappy and wanted to explain, but she didn’t expect Patrick to have such a reaction.

Patrick’s expression darkened. He glanced at Violet. “Nelson had already told me!”

After saying that, he walked toward the elevator.

Violet immediately reacted. Did he mean that he knew what had happened?

Could it be that he was the one who took the initiative to help her just

now?

When facing Patrick, Violet had never dared to flatter herself. Just as this thought appeared, she quickly shook her head and denied it.

Violet walked toward the elevator. At that moment, she heard someone calling her.

She turned around and saw Sophia chasing after her. “Violet, I hear you won the lawsuit, right?”

Violet nodded. “Yes!”

Sophia was as happy as if she had won a lawsuit. “My cousin…”

She had just said two words when she saw Patrick in the CEO’s exclusive elevator. She quickly changed her words. “Dr. Fuller is here. He’s in the design department now. He said he wants to see the process of jewelry

customization!”

In the elevator, Patrick clearly heard this sentence. He suddenly looked up

with a heavy expression.

For some reason, Violet also subconsciously looked at him.

The elevator slowly closed under their gazes.

Seeing that Violet didn’t respond, Sophia couldn’t help but touch her arm. “Violet, why aren’t you saying anything?”

Violet came back to her senses. “Oh, I heard that. Let’s go. Since Dr. Fuller is here, let’s not keep him waiting!”

When they entered the design department, Violet saw Abel sitting in the reception room from afar.

He sat there quietly, like a jade sculpture, exquisitely crafted.

Violet had just walked to the reception room door and was about to push the door open when her phone rang.
