Chapter 407

Violet remembered that
the party, she had stood up to look for Patrick. But she
did not expect to see Patrick holding her arm with red eyes.
Although she was far away and did not expect Gloria to say anything to Patrick, she could guess Gloria’s identity without even thinking.
She knew who stood Patrick up at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
It wasn’t that she didn’t believe Patrick. She just felt terrible.
Because she cared, Violet felt twice as uncomfortable!
Patrick panicked when he saw Violet’s expression. He hugged her tightly and pressed his forehead against hers. He said in a low voice, “Baby, Gloria is my ex- girlfriend. I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid that you would think too much. I didn’t expect Gloria to suddenly return. If you want to know anything, I’ll definitely tell you the truth. Don’t be sad, okay?”
Violet pursed her lips and remained silent with red eyes.
Patrick’s heart ached terribly. “Baby, I’m heartbroken when you frown. My heart is about to break when you look like this!”
Violet pouted and a tear the size of a bean fell on Patrick’s chest.
Violet sniffed and the tip of her nose turned red. She felt extremely aggrieved. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You let me be like a fool in front of her and be teased by her words. Sophia said that she was hiding a dagger in a smile. I thought that Sophia was overthinking. I didn’t expect that… Gloria was targeting me from the beginning!”
When he saw Violet’s tears, Patrick’s heart ached so much that it felt like it was being squeezed together.
He placed his hand behind Violet’s head and kissed her cheek gently. “Baby, it’s my fault. It’s my fault. Hit me! I should have told you earlier!”
Violet’s face was covered in tears. She looked up at Patrick fiercely. “If I hit you, wouldn’t she be your ex–girlfriend? If I hit you, can you repeat what happened today? Now that I think about it, I feel like a fool!”
Patrick’s heart ached as he held her in his arms. He wished he could rub her into his heart and protect her carefully. “Baby, don’t cry. You’re not stupid. You’re kind Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

and innocent. If she bullies you, I’ll help you deal with her. Don’t be sad. You’re crying!”
Violet pouted and looked at Patrick in tears. “Then tell me, am I a substitute?”
Patrick did not know what Gloria and Violet had said to make her think that way.
His eyes darkened and he shook his head decisively. “No, you’re just you. You’re not anyone’s substitute. In my heart, no one can compare to you!”
Violet looked at Patrick with red eyes. “What about Gloria? I… I don’t have to know your past. I just don’t like others provoking me. I’m still being played like a fool and kept in the dark!”
Patrick nodded. “I know. Don’t worry. I’ll tell you everything!”
Patrick’s expression darkened. Six years ago, when Gloria was not his girlfriend, she was bullied by Darcy and his friend because she went to represent Foreverie Jewelry to discuss business. Later on, Darcy and his friend got into trouble. He was irreconcilable with Gabriel. Later, in order to compensate Gloria, he agreed to let her be with him.
Violet did not expect that the grudge between Patrick and Gabriel was actually related to Gloria.
She frowned. “Then why did Darcy die back then?”
Patrick shook his head. “I don’t know. I think he died in an accident. Gabriel
insisted that I killed his brother to avenge Gloria!”
Violet’s little face scrunched up. “In other words, after so many years, Darcy’s death still hasn’t been investigated?”
Patrick was stunned and shook his head slightly.
Violet suddenly said, “Have you never doubted Gloria?”
Violet’s words stunned Patrick.
Violet saw that his reaction was a little big and quickly said, “I was just saying. After all, only you, Gloria, and Gabriel knew about that incident. If Gloria is the victim, she has every reason to do so. Of course, this is just my guess. Don’t mind it!”
Patrick frowned. After a long time, he said, “Perhaps your guess is not
unreasonable. Gloria is really ruthless. Because she was bullied back then, I’ve tried my best to make it up to her all these years!”

Patrick’s expression was a little gloomy. “Although I might not have feelings for her, I’ve agreed to be with her. I’ve even done my best to help her develop her career as a designer. However, she’s still not satisfied!”
Violet pursed her lips and remained silent.
Patrick looked down at her and guessed that she was feeling uncomfortable again.
He quickly explained, “Even if I treat her well, most of it is based on making up for her. Besides, I don’t have any feelings for her. When we were together, I never touched her!”
Violet looked at Patrick doubtfully. “Really?”
Patrick nodded. “Of course it’s true. I have no reason to lie to you about such things!”
Violet blinked. “As long as you’re not lying to me, that’s good!”
Looking at Violet’s pitiful expression, Patrick could not help but lower his head and tap the tip of her nose. “There’s one more thing I have to tell you. I hope you won’t be angry if I tell you!”
Violet pursed his lips. “Tell me. I can even accept Gloria as your ex–girlfriend. What else can’t I accept? Now that I think about it, I was still happy when others said that I was Gloria 2.0. I was like a fool!”
Patrick chuckled. “You’re not stupid. You’re cute and naive!”
Violet refused to listen to his sugar–coated words. “Tell me quickly, what is it?”
Patrick said seriously, “The mosquito repellent vaporizer’s matter was arranged by Gloria. Because she was overseas, I didn’t pursue the matter at that time. In addition, on account of the relationship between the Hersey and Tyler families and her past incident, and her past incident, I didn’t take revenge on her. Are you angry?”
Violet looked at Patrick in shock. “So, Rebecca’s death is actually related to Gloria?”
Patrick looked down at Violet and nodded. “You can say that!”
Violet frowned. “How can she be so vicious?”
Patrick sighed helplessly. “Not only is she vicious, but she’s also extreme. Back then, she stood me up because she felt that I didn’t like her. She hoped to provoke me, but fortunately, she did so, allowing me to meet you!”

Patrick was afraid that Violet would be unhappy, so he said a lot of sweet nothings.
Violet pouted. “Although I do feel uncomfortable, I still choose to believe you!”
Patrick’s gaze froze and his expression changed. “Baby, believe me. I will definitely not let you down!”
The next morning, Violet had just arrived at the design department when she saw Gloria turning her head and walking over.
She smiled and walked to Violet. Then she placed a box of solid perfume and said, “Ms. Webb. This is the perfume I specially brought back for everyone in Freiland. I hope you will like it!”
