After Patrick issued his instructions, he swiftly departed. At this point, the situation had become quite clear, and he had absolute
confidence in helping Violet prove her innocence. Now, all he wanted was to return home quickly and hug his beloved!
Once Patrick left, Yannis’s mouth was sealed again. He watched Patrick depart with a slightly panicked expression and
whimpered as he struggled on the ground. Nilly did not pay him any attention. Instead, he began to deal with Rose and
Jasmine’s affairs, planning to have the PR materials ready and videos filmed once Tanya was brought in. Before releasing the
videos the next day, everything needed to be prepared meticulously so that the truth would be crystal clear to the online
audience. Of course, Rose’s apology video needed to be completed by tonight.
On the other hand, Patrick drove straight back to Hersey Court after leaving Aster Villa. On the way, Robert called. “I sent you
messages, but you did not respond at all!” Robert’s voice sounded nonchalant. It seemed like he was eating as he talked.
Patrick drove the car with a blank expression, and responded concisely, “I’m driving.”
Robert continued. “By the way, it’s been a whole day now. How did the situation with Violet get handled? Do you know who was
behind it?”
Patrick replied, “We have already figured it out. I have entrusted the follow–up to Nilly.”
Robert knew that Nilly always handled things carefully, and he could understand Patrick’s decision to hand the matter over to
Nilly. He said, “I would say it’s better to resolve this matter quickly. People online seem to be in a bad mood for some reason.
They insult others left and right, whether they are related to the issue or
not.”
Upon hearing this, Patrick’s gaze darkened, He thought about the countless people online bashing Violet, and he felt the urge to
take action. However, he also understood that there were countless netizens, and he could not deal with them as easily as his
employees. He replied in a low voice, “That’s why they’re called trolls. and keyboard warriors! They’re a bunch of idle rats who
gain a sense of superiority by trampling on others. There’s no need to pay them any mind.”
Robert chuckled upony hearing Patrick’s response. “Impressive! I did not expect

that you even know about trolls and keyboard warriors!”
Patrick was unimpressed as he said, “Do you think I’m as ignorant as you? Do you have anything else to say?”
Robert could not help but smile. “No, it was just a casual question. But seeing your come back from your business trip and
immediately being overwhelmed, I‘ forgive your comment about my ignorance. I’ll let you go. Hurry up and go home. to your
babe!”
Patrick grunted and said, “It’s a pity that you don’t have a beloved to go to even if you want to. Oh, by the way, Megan is still at
my place!” He finished speaking and hung up without giving Robert a chance to respond.
On the other end of the phone, Robert looked at his phone, feeling both amused and exasperated. Initially, when Patrick
mentioned that Megan was still at their place, he had a momentary surge of excitement, thinking about seeing her. However,
upon further reflection, he realized that put aside the fact Megan wanted to see him or not, she would probably be long gone by
the time he went to see her. Patrick and Violet were deeply in love, and a few days apart naturally meant they wanted to spend
private time together. Megan was not the kind of person who lacked awareness. Robert estimated that once Patrick returned
home, Megan would likely leave. He pondered for a moment and decided to stay in.
Meanwhile, when Patrick entered his home, he saw Viola dashing over, circling around his legs. Patrick had not expected that
after being away for a few days, Viola would be even more affectionate than before. His eyes suddenly gleamed, thinking that if a
kitten that knew nothing was already this affectionate, Violet would probably be even more loving! He gently pushed Viola, who
was excitedly welcoming him, aside and made his way towards the living room.
Megan’s thoughts were quite similar to Robert’s. When she saw Patrick return, she immediately expressed her intention to leave.
Violet could tell that she genuinely wanted to depart and did not attempt to dissuade her. Once Megan left, there were only Violet
and Patrick left in the house.
Patrick approached with a smile and reached out to hug Violet. Her face blushed slightly, and she pushed Patrick gently, saying,
“Go take a shower and change into some casual clothes. The suit doesn’t look comfortable.”
Patrick raised an eyebrow and gently brushed her nose with his hand. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Violet blushed and patted his hand away. “No touching!”

Patrick reversed his grip, holding her hand in his palm, and looked at her with a playful expression. “Okay, no touching. But will
you accompany me upstairs? Is. that acceptable?”
Violet pursed her lips and cleared her throat uncomfortably. “Sure, it’s fine. Ineed to go upstairs to get something, too.”
Patrick took Violet’s hand and headed upstairs together. When they reached the top, she suddenly asked, “By the way, what
would you like for dinner?”
Patrick thought for a moment and replied, “I’ll cook for you later!”
Violet’s heart felt as sweet as sugar upon hearing this. Her voice softened as she said, “You came back from your business trip
today, and you’ve been busy ever since. You must be exhausted. I’ll have the servant take care of it!”
Patrick hadn’t expected her to suggest this and tightened his grip on her hand. He smiled and said, “I know you care about me.
I’ll do as you say!”
Violet’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she tried to act tough. She pushed his hand. away. “Who said I care about you?”
However, Patrick suddenly seemed to lose his strength and leaned against the wall of the staircase. Violet became worried and
asked, “Are you... are you alright,
Patrick?”
Patrick looked at Violet with a feeble expression and remained silent. Violet became a bit anxious and hurried over, grabbing his
hand. “Are you feeling unwell? I didn’t apply any force when I pushed your hand away. I... I can take you to the hospital now!”
Seeing Violet’s worried and flustered expression, Patrick couldn’t help but chuckle and pinched her cheek gently, “I was just
teasing you.”
Violet was momentarily stunned, then grew both angry and anxious. “How could you joke about something like that?”
Seeing that Violet was genuinely upset, Patrick quickly explained, holding her hand, “I wasn’t joking. I was just teasing you. After
all, you were the one who said you didn’t care about me, but it seems that you did care about me.”

Violet rolled her eyes in frustration. “You can play by yourself here. I’m going upstairs!” Violet said as she quickly walked upstairs.
Thinking that she was truly angry, Patrick hurriedly caught up. “Violet, baby, don’t be angry. I really didn’t mean it. I just wanted
to...”
Violet suddenly stopped and turned to see what he would say next. Patrick fixed. his gaze on her, his expression becoming more
serious. “I just wanted to see you care about me. Don’t be mad, alright?”
Despite a bit of lingering annoyance, Violet let it go when she heard those words. Plus, Patrick had a long and tiring day. She
realized she wasn’t genuinely angry. She gave him a quick glance and let out a light huff. “Alright, I was just teasing you too, not
really mad at you,” Violet said and flashed a mischievous smile, then rushed to her room.
Patrick quickly realized the tables had turned on him and dashed to catch up. It seemed Violet had decided to give him a taste of
his own medicine. He realized he should be more cautious about making such jokes in the future. As Violet rushed toward the
door, Patrick caught up to her from behind and embraced her.
