Chapter 32
Violet’s cheeks flushed slightly as the thought quickly crossed her mind. As a result, without waiting for her reaction, the arm around her loosened. Patrick smiled and said, “So… you’re not always so calm.”
His tone carried a hint of subtle sarcasm, making Violet want to beat him up. Violet’s face stiffened immediately.
She shot Patrick an annoyed glare.
She had completely misunderstood his intention just now.
In her embarrassment, she reached out to push Patrick away.
However, she was abruptly pulled forward by him and collided with his chest. Violet’s nose instantly throbbed with pain, and her eyes welled up with tears. Patrick observed the redness in the corners of her eyes. His heart was strangely moved, and his throat tightened.
He delicately reached out, ran his fingers through a handful of Violet’s hair, and asked softly, “Do you ever feel like you’re a lot like a cat? Always ready to attack people due to tension.”
Just this morning, he’d got a couple of hits on the back of his head and even hurt his jaw because of her.
However, Violet didn’t catch Patrick’s meaning at all.
Her cheeks reddened with indignation. Feeling she was being insulted, she retorted without thinking, “Have you ever considered that you act like a dog?” Patrick’s handsome face darkened instantly, realizing what it felt like to be misunderstood.
He turned away, returning to his seat with a cold expression, and curtly stated, “Get out.”
Violet pursed her l*ps and muttered under her breath, “You started it.”
Patrick’s forehead veins bulged as he retorted, “Are you waiting for me to take you out personally?”
Violet’s mouth tightened into a thin line. She couldn’t help but think that he was really a temperamental person.
Nelson was just about to knock on the door when he saw Violet open it and step outside.
He quickly nodded in greeting, “Miss Webb.”
Violet responded with a nod and walked away.
Nelson turned his attention to Patrick, who was seated behind his desk, and
reported, “Mr. Hersey, everything’s ready.”
Patrick browsed the internet, still feeling frustrated when he thought of what had just happened between him and Violet.
Nevertheless, he calmly declared, “The counterattack can commence
It was three o’clock in the afternoon.
Russell Fraley, the president of Oceanen Jewelry, took it upon himself to expose his new wife, Veronica, for who she truly had done.
He uploaded a video online with the caption, “Divorce is acceptable, but I’m going to reveal your true face.”
This single video skyrocketed to the top of trending topics within minutes with the hashtag, “Veronica’s acting skills.”
It soon caused a lot of people to make comments. “A shocking twist! I knew there would be a sequel!”
“Don’t take sides until the truth comes out! Or you’ll take the wrong side. I knew it! Veronica’s attempt to commit suicide isn’t as simple as people said!”
“Veronica is really not simple. She’s ruthless, and she directed this whole drama herself. It blew my mind!”
“Funny, it turns out the second wrist–slitting is the real deal! Veronica should go to hell for playing with netizens‘ sympathy!”
“That’s quite big news! The video of Veronica cutting herself with that knife is so scary! I never thought that she would be such a drastic person!”
“Tsk… Look at her, she’s quite the actress. Maybe she should consider a career change to become an actress!”
Comments flooded in. What made it even more intriguing was that netizens had made two emojis.
One of the emojis was about the moment when Russell asked Veronica, “What do you want?” and Veronica bluntly replied, “Money.”
Her expression in the video was captured with the word “money” plastered on her face.
Even more ironic was the second emoji. It depicted Veronica rolling her eyes as she said, “Those idiots on the internet will believe anything I say.”
Her eye–rolling expression, accompanied by the caption “those idiots on the internet” offended all the people who had sympathized with her earlier in the day.
Netizens unleashed their fury on Veronica online, itching to catch her and her family and give them a good whipping.
Veronica, upon seeing the trending topic, angrily called Russell, “Russell, you bastard! You videotaped all this!”
Little did she expect that despite her caution, Russell would resort to such tactics
to deal with her.
Russell sarcastically snorted. “You’re quite the two–faced one, aren’t you? Why can’t I record and videotape? Don’t worry, the real bombshell hasn’t been dropped yet.”
He finished the call and hung up.
Immediately after that, Russell released several screenshots of WhatsApp chats from the two years he spent with Veronica.
The screenshots provided compelling evidence of Veronica’s shameless interference in Violet and Russell’s relationship as a third party, even though she knew clearly that Violet and Russell were in love at that time.
The chat logs encompassed various time periods from the past two years.
If one opened any of the screenshots, one would notice a recurring pattern of chatting.
Veronica sent a message. “Russell, come to my room now.”
Russell replied, “Veronica, why don’t we forget about this today? Violet is in the next room!”
Veronica then texted Russell again. “What are you afraid of? We just need to be more careful. I really miss you!”
Anyway, Violet refuses to satisfy you in bed. It’s okay for you to find happiness with other women!”
Russell then replied, “Alright, I’ll come to your room later.”
Veronica messaged back, “Love you!”
Russell replied, “I love you too!”
Netizens were disgusted after reading these messages.
Once the chat screenshots were posted, they quickly became a hot topic again, trending with the hashtag, “Sex in the next door.”
Netizens‘ comments were scathing. “Violet was sleeping while her boyfriend was having S** with her sister. The drama is more entertaining than ever!”
“Veronica is truly a b*tch. Russell is also a real bastard, but at least he’s honest, not like Director Webb, who is so dramatic and fake!”
“This kind of woman only sees money in her eyes, and anyone who gets involved with her is doomed!”
“Did you notice that in the video uploaded by Russell, Veronica didn’t slash her wrist when she was cheated? However, when she felt the need to do so, she just slashed her wrist without even blinking her eyes. She’s so heartless!”
“Not only is she ruthless, but she’s also scary. Did you guys see that eerie smile in her eyes when she looked at Russell? It’s so terrifying that it even sent shivers down my spine!”
“I wonder if there’s any limit to her actions if she can be this heartless to herself. “Stealing her sister’s boyfriend, plagiarizing her sister’s designs, and even framing her sister up. I’m sure that there’s no moral line left for her
Because Russell exposed Veronica, he gained some sympathy, and the public’s anger was now mostly directed at Veronica,
However, it didn’t take long for new evidence and scandals to emerge from Summerfield General Hospital’s side.
