Rose’s P.O.V.

“Who are you, and how did you enter here?” the person in charge of the servers asked the woman in a suspicious tone while looking at her from head to toe. She was the one who tripped near Violet earlier and tried to stop her when she was about to leave the place with Noah and David. She was continuously insisting that Violet should go with her so that she could help her clean herself. It was our luck that another server suddenly asked about her identity, and she tried to escape from there. David, and Axel immediately captured her, and the other server called for the security team.

“M..m… my sister was about to attend this function tonight… bu… but she felt sick, and… and… I came here at her place,” she stuttered hard while looking at us frantically. I narrowed my eyes at her in anger because she was lying. Even though she had applied a thick layer of makeup on her face, I could say that she had taken good care of her skin which is not possible for a low-income household. “What’s the name of your sister?” the person in charge asked her in a cold tone. “Call the police,” I whispered to Dustin who was standing beside me. He nodded and immediately walked out of the room.

“H…her name..is.. is… Ch…. Christine… Christine Jacob,” she stuttered hard again and I was now sure that she was lying. “Let me check the name first,” the person said and walked away. The security guards secured her on the chair and kept standing beside her on either side. I slowly took a few steps towards her while keeping my eyes on her face. She gulped hard and looked in the other direction. I stopped near her, and leaned down a little towards her. “There is no girl named Christine Jacob on our list. She is lying,” the person in charge came back at the same time, and told us in a calm tone.

“Listen woman…. And listen to me very carefully. I know that you are lying,” I said in a calm tone after listening to him, and she immediately snapped her head towards me while widening her eyes in shock. I smirked and tilted my head a little. “How hired you to approach Violet tonight?” I asked her in the same tone, but the gaze was now cold. “N… no one… no one hired me. Th.. that was just an accident,” she stuttered again while answering me. I could see beads of sweat on her forehead now. Her lips were trembling, and she was trying hard to mask her expressions, but she was failing miserably.

“Mom,” I immediately looked behind when I heard Violet calling me. I walked towards her when she entered the room. We were in the security room right now. “Why did you come here?” I asked her in a worried tone, while taking her hand. I then noticed that she was holding a bunch of papers. “We found these papers in the girl’s restroom, Mrs. Parker,” Noah told me in a cold tone while glaring at someone behind me. “What are they?” Nat asked them, and Violet gave those papers to hers. “Mr. Carter sent her here,” Violet said in a cold tone, tilting her head to look behind me.

My grip on her hand immediately tightened and I g*****d in anger. Surely he was brave enough to send someone here to approach Violet. “What the,” I heard Nat yelling in anger. I looked at her in confusion but found her marching towards that woman. Before we could understand, she slapped her hard. “You dare lie to us,” she screamed at her. We immediately ran to her, and I pulled her into my embrace by wrapping my hands around her waist from behind. “Nat… calm down,” I asked her in a calm tone. She was now fuming in anger. “Mrs. Knight,” someone called her, and we looked in his direction.

“You were right. He indeed came here and was hidden on the other side of the restroom all the time,” he informed us, and my heart skipped a beat in fear. I was now glad that the boys didn’t leave her alone, even for a second. “Where is he now?” I asked the security officer in a calm tone. “Unfortunately… he managed to escape when we captured her,” he said and I sighed aloud. “No.. he… he can’t run away,” the woman suddenly screamed in a fearful tone. We all looked in her direction and now fear was written all over her face. “He escaped, woman,” the security officer told her in a bitter tone.

“Do you really believe that he will stay with you, and go to the police station with you……Mrs. Carter?” Violet asked her in a taunt, but my eyes widened in shock when I heard what she addressed to her. “Mrs. Carter?” I whispered and looked back at the woman in shock. She gulped hard while looking at Violet with a fearful gaze. Violet walked towards her and stopped in front of her. She crossed her hands in front of her chest. I immediately released Nat from my embrace and went near Violet.

“He was always like this… coward and an opportunist,” Violet continued in the same taunting tone. I wrapped my hand around her shoulder, indicating to the person sitting in front of us that she dared keep her hands to herself when I saw a bit of movement in her body as if she wanted to stand up. She immediately straightened her back but didn’t move again. “Sh… she is your stepmother?” Noah suddenly yelled in shock, and Violet scoffed bitterly. “Is she really your relative, Ms. Parker?” the security officer asked her in a surprised tone.

“I have no relationship with her. She is no one to me,” Violet spat, and a nasty smile occurred on my lips when I saw Mrs. Carter’s eyes widen in shock. “What were you planning to do? How were you going to get her signature on these papers?” Nat asked her in a cold tone. She gulped hard while looking at Violet with hatred but didn’t answer her. “Don’t waste your breath on her, Nat. The police will take care of this matter,” I said to Nat after some time when Mrs. Carter didn’t answer her.

“P… p… police?” she stuttered so hard in a fearful tone that I burst into laughter. Violet moved her shoulders up and down too. I just kept holding her in my side embrace. “It doesn’t matter what she was planning to do, mom,” Violet said in a calm tone, and then looked at the officer standing on the other side of the guard. “Tell the police that she approached me with some ulterior motives, and she wanted to harm me after taking me inside the restroom in order to help me clean myself,” Violet instructed the officer in a calm tone.

I tilted my head to look at her face in surprise. This was ruthless. “How can you say this? This was not my intention,” Mrs. Carter yelled angrily at Violet. The corner of Violet’s lips twitched, but she didn’t answer her. “You rest assured, Ms. Parker. You can leave this matter to us,” the security officer said to Violet. She nodded and then looked at me. “I am tired, Mom,” she said in a tired tone and leaned on my shoulder. “Let’s go home,” I said, looking at Nat, who also had a concerned look. “Let me take photographs of these documents before we give this to the police,” she said and I nodded.

Noah and David came forward and we moved towards the door. “Violet…. Come back… don’t leave me here,” Mrs. Carter screamed behind us but we didn’t stop. “Violet….. I said come back,” She screamed again but we didn’t pay any attention to her. “Hey you,” suddenly someone yelled behind us in panic. I looked behind and panicked about seeing Mrs. Carter running towards us. “You b***h…. I will kill you,” she screamed, and was about to reach us when I pulled Violet into my embrace, shielding her from Mrs. Carter. “Aaahhhh,” Mrs. Carter screamed in pain while flying away when suddenly Both Noah and David kicked her hard in the stomach.

Violet trembled hard in my embrace, and all the boys immediately covered us with some security guards. “Take her away, Mrs. Parker. We will take care,” Noah said to me and I immediately nodded. “My father is already here,” Rein said in a cold tone. “Dustin… Matthew… take them home,” Nat instructed them immediately while trying to suppress her anger. “Let go, Violet,” Dustin whispered to her. I nodded and then almost dragged Violet out of the room holding her tightly in my embrace. “You B***h…. I will kill you…. You will die soon,” I heard Mrs. Carter screaming behind us like a mad woman.

“Don’t pay attention to her,” Dustin immediately comforted Violet. She was still holding me tightly and refused to let me go. Other boys were also walking out with us. They have made a circle around us as if they were anticipating another attack on us. “She dared attack you. She will pay for this,” I said coldly, and kept on walking out of the place. The bodyguards that Alex hired for Violet were also now walking with boys. I stopped outside the exit and looked for our car. I dragged Violet with me when our driver brought the car in front of us. “We are coming in our cars,” Dustin said to me and I nodded.

The bodyguard opened the back door for us. “William with you in the car, Mrs. Parker,” he informed me when I was about to enter the car behind Violet. I nodded, and entered the car. He closed the door behind me. I immediately scooted near her as she was still trembling hard. I pulled her into my embrace when I saw that she was about to cry. At the same time, her phone started ringing inside the clutch. She sniffed and opened the clutch.

She took her phone out, and the driver drove away. She immediately picked up the call and put the phone to her ear on the other side.

“No… no.. I.. I am not okay,” she said in a cracked tone, and I tightened my grip on her shoulder. It was Kyle who called her. “Yeah…. Yeah… I… I am okay…Noah and David saved me from her attack,” she told him truthfully. I was also grateful that they immediately took action and saved Violet. It was when I remembered that I saw a knife in her hand before shielding Violet in my embrace. My heart trembled hard. Now I understood why Violet was so scared.

“Come soon,” she whispered in a choked voice. “Hey,” I immediately put her head on my shoulder and stroked her head to comfort her, to make her feel safe. She sobbed aloud after hanging up. “You are safe, honey… you are safe,” I whispered to her while stroking her head gently. To be honest, I was still processing that someone tried to attack Violet in the presence of so many people. I was sure that Noah must have called Kyle. Her phone rang again, making me sigh helplessly. I looked at the screen and smiled because it was Ethan this time.

“Ethan,” she cried this time, making me tighten my grip around her shoulder again. I couldn’t hear what he said to her but I knew that he must be comforting her. “No… sh… she didn’t reach me. Noah and David kicked her before she reached me,” she answered her while crying softly. “Okay… Okay,” she said and cut off the call. I couldn’t let this matter slide. “Mom,” suddenly she called me while crying. I looked down at her, and she lifted her head up. I kissed her forehead and passed a weak smile to her. Tears were still rolling down her cheeks. I wiped them with my hand.

“Please arrange a meeting with Mr. Carter,” she requested, making me raise my brows in surprise. “Huh?” I said it in surprise. She stopped crying and sniffed harder. “I have to resolve this matter as soon as possible. I …. I can’t go like this forever. I… I want to spend my life peacefully, not in fear,” she continued, and I took a deep breath. “Okay…. Let me talk to your dad, and we will arrange a meeting with Mr. Carter once Mr. Westfield comes here,” I replied to her in a gentle tone. She smiled weakly and put her head on my shoulder again. I also wanted the same thing for her. She was right. She couldn’t live her life in fear. It had to end, and it would be better if it ended sooner. At the same time, my phone started ringing inside my clutch. I knew who was calling me now, and it put me on ease.
