Love Addiction: Doting On My Love by Wendy

Chapter 0032
The trauma from the swamp made Violet unable to move. She rose out of the water, but stood where she was
Someone threw a banana peel at her head. More followed the first one.
It hurt.
Some children were throwing things at her nonstop.
“You...” Violet glared at them, but felt dizzy from all the things hitting her.
The woman who had led her into the garden turned around and stared at her coldly. “It’s her! She’s the one who nearly
bankrupted Imperial Enterprises! She’s the one who made people stop buying our things, so they all rotted away! Hit her!”
They threw more things at her.
Violet shielded herself while looking for help. A few farmers walked over, but they only watched. They showed no intention to
help. Once the children finished throwing things at her, they ran away, and the woman left as
well. Violet stayed in the lake for a long time before crawling out.
She cleaned up a bit afterwards, but she still looked pathetic.
“It’s time for food,” someone called out to her.
Then, she was brought to Lucius.

When he saw her sorry state, he raised an eyebrow but said nothing. He sat in front of a simple table, but it did not take away
from his splendor. Instead, the sun shone on him and cast him in a faint glow that made him look even more ethereal.
“Eat,” he said and picked up a spoon.
The people had not expected Lucius, their superior, to eat with normal people like them, so the respect in their eyes grew, and
they picked up their spoons as well. Someone plopped down a bowl in front of Violet as well
She picked it up to eat with the masses, but the moment she took a bite, there was a loud crunch. Her teeth hurt from trying to
bite through a stone.
There was gravel in her food, plenty of it.
Since its color was light and blended with the food, Violet did not notice it before taking a bite.
She searched for the person who handed the food to her and realized that it was the woman who mistreated her before. She
glared at Violet with a face full of glee after taking revenge.
“Ms. Agatha, are you looking down on our food?” the woman asked while walking over. “Mr. Lucius always eats with us
whenever he visits us. If you don’t eat, you’ll be looking down on us.”
Violet gave Lucius a pleading look for help.

“If you don’t want to be stuck here, eat your food.”

Violet felt upset, but she knew that if he got angry, he might really leave her there. At that moment, she realized that he had not
actually decided to spare her when he did not punish her yesterday. He just wanted her to be rested and well fed so that she
could be punished even more.
Tears filled her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and pushed the sadness back. Then, she started eating the unpleasant and far too
crunchy and tough food.
Lucius ate quickly and left.
“Come. Have some soup.”
The woman did not even ask whether Violet wanted soup. She just poured some into her bowl. The smell of urine wafted into
Violet’s nose. She nearly puked and refused to drink it. When the woman could not force her to drink the soup, she threw the
soup and the remainder of the food on her. The bowl also followed after them.
Violet raised her hands to shield herself. The bowl broke, and the shards cut into her palm. Blood flowed down. but no one cared
whether she was injured. After finishing their food, they returned to their stations.
Violet sat in front of her table and felt incredibly alone, like she had been forgotten by the whole world.
Distress and sadness exploded within her, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
“Sad?” a cool voice asked from behind her. It belonged to Lucius. He had come back at some point in time and
was staring at her quietly.
