Chapter 29
Love Addiction: Doting On My Love
After a long time passed, Violet finally remembered that she could go home. No matter what, her father would not ignore her. Since she did not want to meet Emily, she decided to call her father.
âViolet?â The person who picked up the phone was her stepmother, Belle. The moment she heard Violet, her voice went shrill. âHow could you call us? Look at what you did to Emily! Her voice is ruined, and she canât sing anymore! Do you hear me?!â
Belle shouted so loudly that the phone vibrated, and Violet felt like she was about to go deaf. She moved the phone away from her ear, but she could still hear Belleâs enraged screeches. In the background, Emily was weeping⦠Oliverâs clear and magnetic voice was comforting her.
âDonât be sad, Emily. You still have me.â
Even if Emily lost everything in the world, she would still have Oliver to protect her. Violet could imagine him. hugging and patting her back right now.
She could hear him saying that it was fine even if she could no longer join singing auditions and how she could get other jobs. At that moment, Violet thought that she had to be a character in a tragedy.
She did not have the energy to care about Belle yelling at her. She just wanted to talk to her father. âI want to talk to Dad.â
âYou ruined Emilyâs life. Do you actually think he wants to see you? Your father has told me that youâre no longer his daughter. You have nothing to do with him and us anymore!â
âHe would never say that!â
This was the second shock of the day for Violet, and she refused to accept it. No matter what, she was a true daughter of the Wickham family. How could her father chase her out without even looking into the event properly?
âWhy do you think I have your fatherâs phone, then? Itâs because he doesnât want to hear your voice and see you, you demon! He has already thrown your things out! Pick them up yourself! If someone else throws it away thinking itâs trash, it wonât be our fault!â
Belle hung up as if hearing another word from Violet would kill her.
Violet still did not believe that her father would do something so heartless. She went over to the Wickham familyâs mansion.
Her things were packed up and thrown out. They were strewn all over the ground. A servant, Mrs.
Zimmer, stood guard at the door. She shook her head and sighed when she saw Violet, then quickly went back into the mansion as if she had seen a ghost. She shut the door behind her.
Violet saw Oliverâs car, along with her fatherâs. So, Belle was not lying to her. Her father had really abandoned her, just like how he abandoned her mother!
Her heart sank. She no longer knew what to do. She did not take anything and just walked away mechanically Why did no one believe her?
At that moment, in the Wickham familyâs mansion, Emily was crying in Oliverâs arms. The doctor had just announced that her voice would never heal. Because of it, she was never going to join the Rondon Choir, which was her dream.
This was practically a death sentence to Emily.
When Belle saw Emily bawling, her heart ached, and her fury raged even hotter. âDamn you, Violet!
How could you do this to my daughter?!â
She started crying midway through her shout.
Meanwhile, Patrick Wickham, Violetâs father, sat on the sofa with a tense expression. He said nothing.
âShe just doesnât want Emily to have a good life. Even if you disowned her, you wouldnât be doing anything wrong.â
Belleâs eyes shone with ruthlessness. Violetâs existence was like a thorn in her side that constantly reminded her of her shameful past as a mistress. She had wanted Violet gone for a very long time, but had never dared to do anything because she was wary of Patrick.
