Chapter 274

Patrick’s b*dy stiffened slightly. He almost instantly thought of the argument that night. He had said that he really thought highly of himself!

Those words were said by him out of anger. He did not expect Violet to remember it until today. It was just like when he asked her not to have any thoughts about him. Violet remembered it especially well. Every time they had a breakthrough in the distance, it was as if Violet would use that sentence to shut him up.

Patrick’s eyes flickered with gloominess. “Are you really not getting into the car?”

Violet took a step back and shook her head. She said firmly, “I don’t have the guts to get

in!”

At this moment, a sports car suddenly stopped beside Patrick’s car.

Riley got out of the car in a long dress and a coat.

When she saw Patrick and Violet, her eyes flashed with displeasure. She hid her annoyance and walked over with a smile. “Mr. Hersey, your company’s workers have all boarded the tour bus to Mount Summerwood. Are you going to organize a company group tour?”

Patrick originally wanted to ignore Riley.

However, as soon as Riley appeared, Violet froze and seemed to be emitting a warning signal.

He suddenly chuckled and spoke coldly, “It’s not a vacation. It’s the company’s team- building activity!”

Riley widened her eyes in surprise. “It’s the company’s team-building activity?”

Patrick glanced at Violet, who was frozen in place and nodded slowly. His posture was arrogant and noble.

Riley had acted in countless romance dramas. It was apparent that Patrick and Violet had quarreled.

She walked over casually. “Mr. Hersey, I also planned to go to Mount Summerwood to soak in the hot spring. In the end, there was a problem with the car at the last minute. The driver was about to drive to repair it. Can you give me a ride along the way?”

A trace of mockery flashed across Violet’s eyes as she thought, ‘She had to bring a driver to drive a sports car? What kind of sports car was she driving?”

Of course, Violet didn’t say it directly. She just stood there stubbornly, wanting to hear Patrick’s answer.

When Patrick heard Riley’s words, he looked at Violet from the corner of his eye. He thought Violet would retaliate against Riley’s actions because she stood there.

Unexpectedly, Violet just stood at the side and did not say anything.

Patrick’s gaze turned gloomy. He deliberately provoked Violet and said faintly, “Alright, since it’s on the way, I’ll give you a ride!”

Violet raised her head. She looked at Patrick in shock and disbelief.

She suddenly remembered that when Riley was filming the jewelry endorsement,

Patrick had fired Riley, the spokesperson the company’s studio to protect her.

Violet thought that Patrick still did not like Riley. She did not expect that the relationship between Patrick and Riley was completely different from what she had. imagined.

First, it was a blind date arranged by his family. Now, he had agreed to give her a ride to the hot spring in Mount Summerwood.

It seemed that she had overestimated herself and thought that Patrick cared about her.

It was laughable that she was especially touched at that time. Now, it seemed that it was just something Patrick did out of kindness. Only she took it seriously.

She laughed self-deprecatingly and stared deeply into Patrick’s eyes. Then, she turned around, carried her bag, and strode toward the bus.

As soon as Violet left, Riley put on an innocent look. “Why did Ms. Webb leave? Isn’t she taking your car? Mr. Hersey, did I say anything wrong?”

Patrick’s tone was terrifyingly cold. “Are you getting in or not?”

Riley was startled and quickly nodded. “Of course I am!”

She opened the car door and got into Patrick’s car.

Violet stepped onto the bus. When she saw Patrick’s car from the corner of her eye, disappointment crawled in her.

Almost as soon as she got on the bus, she saw Patrick leave.

At that moment, Violet couldn’t explain how she felt. The bitterness in her heart had faded off, leaving only a tint of sadness.

Chapter 274

Fortunately, she hid it well and would not let others easily see her weakness.

On the bus, Violet fell asleep.

The bus was bumpy, and Violet had a dream.

In her dream, Patrick and Riley were getting married. Riley pointed at her nose and said, “I hope she knows what’s good for her and leaves Patrick.”

In her dream, Violet’s heart ached. She subconsciously looked at Patrick’s expression beside Riley.

In the end, Patrick’s face was incredibly blurry. It was impossible to tell what his expression was.

Violet did not give up and stared at the blurry face, wanting to see what expression was on it.

However, at this moment, the car suddenly jolted, and Violet woke up from her dream.

She knocked her head on the seat in front of her. The movement was too loud. Sophia, who was sitting beside her, turned to look at her. “Violet, what’s wrong?”

Violet shook her head gloomily. “Nothing!”

Sophia pursed her l*ps. She wanted to say something but hesitated. “Did you have a nightmare?”

Violet’s voice was calm. “Why do you ask?”

Sophia stared at her face and pointed at her eyes. “Are you crying?”

Violet was stunned. She reached out and wiped her face. Sure enough, tears had

drenched it.

Violet looked a little embarrassed. She turned her head and looked out of the car

window.

She did not expect that a dream would make her cry.

She was really useless!

Sophia was comforting her. “Don’t be embarrassed. Sometimes, I have nightmares, and I cry unconsciously in my dreams…”

Violet leaned her forehead against the car window and did not say anything.

When they arrived at Mount Summerwood Resort & Spa, everyone got out of the car

in order.

Violet feared that if she cried in her dream, her eyes would be seen through. She waited until everyone got out of the bus before getting off.

In the end, she was assigned to the last room. Everyone else lived in two rooms, but she had a single room.

Violet didn’t think much of it. She took her room card, carried her bag, and walked toward the elevator to get to her room.

However, just as she took a few steps, she heard a familiar voice calling out her nickname in surprise, “Vivi!”

Violet suddenly turned her head and was stunned to see Gabriel striding over with a

smile.

Violet froze on the spot. She only reacted when Gabriel approached. “You… Why are you here?”

What a coincidence!

Gabriel smiled and said, “I’ve been on the mountain for some time. Previously, I was physically weak because of my addiction to drugs. Fortunately, I’m almost done with it now. I came here to recuperate fsome timeime! I didn’t expect to see you here! I was outside just now and looked at you from afar. I wasn’t sure if it was you. When I got closer, I saw that it was you!”

Gabriel smiled maliciously. The purple diamond on his car looked even more demonic.

Standing there, he unconsciously attracted everyone’s attention, making them stare at

him.

However, Violet was not used to being the center of attention on such an occasion.

Moreover, she felt that this was not a good place to talk.

She said, ‘I’ll come and replace you later. The mountain is lush, and the air is fresh. Let’s walk together later!”

Gabriel smiled and nodded. “Sure. Do you want to have a rest first?”

Violet was stunned and shook her head. “No need. I’m not very tired. Let’s rest at noon!”

Gabriel smirked and nodded. “Alright, go upstairs and put your things first. I’ll wait for you downstairs!”

Violet nodded and went upstairs to her room with her bag.

Gabriel looked at Violet’s back and was in an exceptionally good mood!
