Chapter 650

'Did she prepare breakfast for Greg?' Sharon couldn't help but wonder.

Violet felt uneasy facing Sharon. She didn't know how to greet her, keeping in mind their past. It would be impolite of Violet to pretend that she didn't know her. After all, she was Greg's step-mother. "Good morning, Aunt Sharon," she said, eventually.

"What are you doing here?" Sharon asked her suspiciously, ignoring her greeting.

"Oh." Violet's head was blank for a moment. She didn't know how to reply to her. "I am here because..."

Before she could finish her words, the elevator door opened again. Both of them rushed out.

Sharon needed to know what this witch was doing here. She cornered Violet at the staircase. "You know Greg is back, don't you? Are you here to make up to him?" she asked Violet furiously.

"No," Violet said firmly. She was no longer scared of Sharon. Violet knew her from long ago. Sharon wasn't a pleasant woman.

"No?" Sharon repeated. "Violet, don't forget what you promised me five years ago. Now that Greg is back, you want to get back into his good graces again, don't you?"

Violet did not cower at Sharon's contemptuous smile and vicious words. She thought about what Aunt Selina had told her. Violet was Jackson and Cherry's daughter. She was a rich and young heiress by her own right and was not inferior by any means.

Violet lifted her head and looked into Sharon's eyes, feeling fearless. "What if I say yes? You should know better than anyone how deeply Greg loves me and how much I love him back," Violet said in an unwavering voice.

"Violet Chu, stop daydreaming! You don't deserve Greg. He is an outstanding and successful young talent. He must marry a beautiful girl from a rich and influential family who is worthy of him! Don't ever have designs on him!" Her bitter words reached Violet's ears like knives stabbing into her heart.

But Sharon wasn't done yet. She looked her up and down disdainfully. "Look at yourself in the mirror! Do you think you deserve him?"

Violet's confident fire was doused by Sharon's cold sneer. The last thing she'd like to do was to look in the mirror. It pained her too much to look at her scars.

Violet pretended to be strong. "I am not here for Greg, I'm here because -" she tried to explain.

But before she could finish, Sharon slapped her. It was so unexpected that Violet staggered back several steps.

"You shameless girl! Why don't you admit to the dirty things you have done? I am warning you, Greg will marry Gu family's daughter soon. Don't even try to approach him! Also..." Glancing around to make sure no one heard them, Sharon went on. "Five years ago, you received my 100 million dollars in exchange for leaving Greg. What if I told Greg about this? Do you think he would still love such a shameless woman?"

Tears flowed down Violet's cheeks. She shook her head in helplessness and looked back at Sharon. "I didn't sell my love for wealth. I wasn't after your money, it was you who..."

"Violet Chu!" Sharon whispered harshly. "Don't play around with me. What happened was that I gave you a hundred million dollars to leave Greg!

Don't forget the deal between us. If you dare to cross the line again, you should know that the person you hurt will be Greg, not you or me,"

Violet lowered her head and didn't say a word. Holding the lunch box tightly, she kept weeping.

When Sharon saw that Violet didn't mean to resist her any longer, she smoothed her clothes. "No matter how deep your affection for Greg is, you would never be with him, even if he still loves you. His wife should be the daughter of the Gu family. Not you!" she declared.

She ran her eyes over Violet one last time and left with her head held high.

Violet's knees buckled and she slid down against the wall. Not caring how she looked to anyone who passed by, she wept inconsolably.

After some time, Violet wiped away her tears and convinced herself to get up. She had to look after Roger. She left the stairway and headed to his ward.

Standing in front of the French windows, Greg held a cup of water in his hand as he looked at the tall buildings outside. Wasn't such a stable and pleasant working environment what he desired? He had a successful career, so why did he still feel so unsatisfied?

Greg knew what was missing. It was Violet. She was the only one meant for him. She was the other piece of his soul and he only felt whole when she was next to him. Greg's heart felt like it was being squeezed. He desperately wanted her back. He would give up everything for her, as long as she was willing to come back to him. Without her by his side, his success meant nothing.

Tina stood at Greg's office door and looked inside. She saw that Greg stood by the window. Wearing his white coat, he looked handsome and charming. The black suit pants complemented his tall and shapely figure.

Tina knocked at the door enthusiastically.

Hearing the knock, Greg came back to himself. He turned his head to look at the doorway in anticipation, wondering if it was Violet. He was disappointed to see Tina's face instead.

However, Tina was very pleased. She pushed the door open and walked into the office as if she owned it.

"Good morning, Greg!" She put a lunch box on the office table and walked over to Greg, grabbing his arm intimately.

"Didn't you go to see your brother? Why did you come here?" Greg took one look at the lunch box and knew that she hadn't gone to see Roger.

"I came to see you first. We'll go and see my brother together," Tina told him eagerly. She watched Greg's face ardently, realizing she would never get bored of looking at him in this lifetime.

"I have to attend a consultation in a moment. I don't have time to see your brother," Greg remarked, his voice indifferent and aloof. He pulled away from Tina and walked to his office table. Putting down the cup in his hand, he turned his back to Tina and sat on his chair.
