Chapter 294

Violet sighed when she heard Sophia’s reply and said, “Alright, if I have any news about Robert, I’ll give you a heads up. Just don’t talk about trying to compete with Megan for him. Megan was never together with Robert. It was just wishful thinking on his part!”

Violet was very straightforward in her words. Sophia was a bit surprised and looked a bit confused as she said, “How could it be… Mr. Foster… he’s so good, why wouldn’t Megan like him?”

Violet furrowed her brow. Thinking that no matter what happened, Sophia would always be the first to stand up for her. She said with emphasis, “Sophia, just because you think he’s good doesn’t mean everyone else does. Different strokes for different folks, do

you

understand?”

Sophia seemed a bit confused. She nodded in a daze and said, “I think I understand.”

Violet nodded and replied, “Alright, now go back to work and stop overthinking things!”

Sophia looked a bit downcast. Then, she turned around and went back to work.

Violet promised to inform Sophia if there were any updates about Robert.

Sophia didn’t expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

At noon, Patrick sent a message.

Patrick asked, [Violet, would you accompany me to a charity dinner tonight?]

Violet was momentarily stunned. Patrick had gone to great lengths and even got injured. for her sake. This small request was nothing in comparison. He even took the initiative to ask for her opinion first. It made Violet feel that he respected her a lot.

Violet replied, [Of course!]

After sending the message, she stayed silent for a couple of seconds and then suddenly wanted to ask a question.

Violet asked, [Is Robert going tonight?]

Patrick asked in return, [Yes, he’s going too. But why do you want to ask about him?]

Violet replied, [Nothing, I’m just curious!]

Patrick said, [After work, I’ll pick you up to do your styling and choose a dress!]

Violet replied, [Alright!

Chapter 291

After work, Patrick took Violet to the styling studio they had been to before for the jewelry gala.

Even though Patrick knew that Violet was shockingly beautiful with just a little embellishment, when she came out after her styling, he was still stunned for a few seconds.

When Violet arrived at the charity dinner, she saw Sophia obediently following Abel, and her gaze kept drifting toward the entrance of the banquet hall.

Violet knew that Robert would also be coming, so she reminded Sophia in the afternoon. However, she didn’t expect Sophia to come along with her cousin.

Violet looked at Sophia with a complicated expression. Matters of the heart were only known best to the one involved, and it was probably impossible to explain Sophia’s feelings in just a few words.

Megan currently had no interest in Robert. Since Sophia had a crush on Robert, Violet didn’t want to interfere too much in what would ultimately happen.

The first half of the charity banquet was dedicated to networking and exchanging business information as attendees sought potential collaborations.

The second half was a charity auction. All the proceeds from the auction would be donated to the children in the remote mountain areas.

Not long after Violet arrived, Robert also arrived.

However, when she saw him coming in with Megan, Violet was still taken aback.

She instinctively looked at Sophia. The melancholy and bitterness in Sophia’s eyes were evident.

Violet let out a slight sigh.

Then, she saw Megan let go of Robert and walk toward her.

Patrick saw Megan approaching, and he said in a low voice, “You two go talk. I’ll go somewhere else.”

Violet nodded.

As soon as Patrick left, Violet couldn’t help but ask Megan, “Why are you here? I thought you were avoiding Robert and wouldn’t come with him!”

Megan’s cold face showed a trace of irritation when she heard this. “If someone pesters you all day, you’d probably agree too. Besides, he told me you would be coming, so I came to see you. I want to check if your injuries are better.”

Chapter 294

Previously, Patrick had been keeping a close eye on Violet, and Violet didn’t want Megan to see her in her injured state. So, she declined Megan’s offer to come and see her.

She hadn’t expected Megan to worry about her for so long, and she felt a bit guilty.

Thinking about Sophia’s situation, she tentatively asked, “Megan, it’s obvious that Robert is pursuing you. Do you have any other thoughts about it?”

Megan glanced at Violet and said, “He and I are just friends. Don’t let your imagination run wild!”

Seeing Megan’s attitude, Violet realized Megan had no interest in Robert at all. She couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, before she could catch her breath, she heard a mocking voice say, “Violet, I can’t believe you’d dare to come to a place like this!”

Violet furrowed her brow and turned to look at Riley, who was wearing a mocking expression. Violet retorted, “A place like this? What do you mean? Why can you come, but I can’t?”

Megan’s cold little face tensed up as if she was about to fly into a rage. Violet pulled her hand back, urging her not to act impulsively.

Riley didn’t expect Violet to respond in this manner.

Although she could tell Patrick might have feelings for Violet, it was nothing. With the Webb family’s status, trying to break into the upper echelons of Summerwood City was simply wishful thinking.

Furthermore, the Stanton family was a major player in the business world, and Patrick was the heir to the Hersey family in Leken City. How could he possibly marry a lowly woman like Violet?

With these thoughts in mind, Riley’s sarcasm and disdain grew stronger. “Ridiculous, you dare to question me. This is a charity dinner, and people without a certain family background or net worth in the millions shouldn’t even think about entering here!”

Violet looked at Riley with a deep gaze and did not say a word. She didn’t even know what kind of people would receive the invitations for this charity dinner.

When Riley saw Violet remain silent, she thought she had intimidated Violet. Then, Shet raised her chin even higher. She said arrogantly, “People like you simply don’t belong in this circle. Don’t force your way in. You’ll end up utterly embarrassed yourself. Don’t blame me for not warning you!”

Chapter 294

Violet’s eyes flickered. She retorted, “Well, I must thank you for the reminder. It’s just at pity that I don’t know what circle you’re referring to! Please forgive my ignorance.”

Riley’s expression stiffened. After saying so much, it seemed like she was talking to a brick wall.

However, when she looked at Violet’s half-smiling face, she suddenly realized.

It wasn’t that Violet didn’t understand, but that she was deliberately toying with her.

Violet’s attitude infuriated Riley. Her face turned displeased. “Violet, how dare mock me!”

you

Violet put on an innocent expression and said, “You’re the one who insists on allowing me to

mock you. If I don’t tease you a little, it would be a waste of opportunity!”

Riley was so angry that she was trembling she reached out and wanted to slap Violet. She said furiously, “You have a sharp tongue, bi tch!”

However, as soon as she raised her hand, Violet grabbed her wrist.

In a cold voice, Violet said, “Ms. Anne, you’re a celebrity, a public figure. Please mind your image. Don’t go around like a shrew, throwing a fit and hitting people, okay?”

Riley was extremely angry. Her face contorted in rage. She reached for a glass of red wine from the nearby table with her other hand and poured it all over Violet.

Violet was wearing a white evening gown. If it got stained with red wine, let’s see how she could still act so proud!

At the moment the wine was being poured, suddenly, a figure in a white suit flashed over, shielding Violet in his arms. The red wine splashed all over his back.
