My Wife Is An All-Around Expert

Gerald's expression also subtly changed.

His eyes flickered and he made a hushing gesture after pondering for two seconds.

He raised his voice. “Who is it?”

Skyler’s voice rang out, saying, “Mr. Olson, I’m Skyler Brown, the director of the Design Department of Foreverie Jewelry. | like to discuss something. with you.”

Gerald frowned and whispered to Eleanor, “Go hide in the bathroom!”

Gerald had sent his assistant to Foreverie Jewelry to sign a custom jewelry. contract, intending to lure Violet out.

He had no genuine interest in customizing jewelry. Now that hist intentions were exposed, there was no need to continue.

Since the design director of Foreverie Jewelry had come, Gerald planned. to resolve the matter directly. He didn’t want to waste any more time on

this issue.

It seemed that Patrick was still unaware of the situation.

Gerald knew Patrick's temperament well. If Patrick found out about his action, it wouldn’t be the design director coming, but rather a team of lawyers.

It must be said that as Patrick’s opponent, Gerald had a good understanding of him.

As Eleanor entered the bathroom, Gerald spoke up, “Come in!”

Gerald was surprised when he saw Violet and Skyler enter together. He thought Violet must be terrified after last night's incident. But appearances could be deceiving. This woman had both looks and courage. No wonder both Gabriel and Patrick looked at her with different

eyes. mm

He smirked and said, “So it’s Miss Webb and Mr. Brown

couldn’t help but feel that Gabriel had gone easy on hi ast night.

Her expression turned serious as she thought about what happened last night, and her gaze grew colder.

Recalling Violet's words, Skyler didn’t have a good impression of Gerald. His voice was stern as he spoke, “Mr. Olson, let’s be straightforward. Regarding the custom jewelry, are you planning to proceed, or do you want to terminate the contract?”

Violet was prepared. If Gerald proved to be difficult, she was ready to negotiate with him.

After what happened last night, she had learned her lesson and wouldn’t allow it to happen again.

She looked calmly at Gerald and said, “Mr. Olson, if you don’t plan to terminate the contract, any discussions regarding jewelry customization requests will have to take place at Foreverie Jewelry. This doesn’t constitute a breach of contract.”

Skyler also had his arguments ready, intending to clarify the pros and cons and persuade Gerald to be reasonable.

To their surprise, Gerald looked at Violet with interest. He smiled and said. “Miss Webb, | intend to terminate the contract.” Skyler and Violet exchanged a glance. They hadn't anticipated that the matter would be resolved so simply.

Thinking about what happened last night, Violet's expression became somewhat stiff.

Skyler stared at Gerald warily. “Have you thought this through, Mr. Olson?”

Gerald nodded. “Yes, | have.”

Mon, Jan

Skyler continued, “We will deduct twenty percent of the deposit as a cancellation fee.”

Gerald smirked dismissively. “Go ahead.”

Suddenly, Violet felt a sense of frustration. She had been fooled by Gerald last night and narrowly escaped a dangerous situation.

Indeed, that initial deposit was only a bait to lure her in.

Violet fixed a penetrating gaze on Gerald. Her expression became angrier. and colder.

Gerald sensed Violet's gaze and smiled. “Miss Webb, there’s no need to look at me like that. Last night was a misunderstanding on my part. | was fueled by hearsay. Consider that deposit as compensation for any distress | may have caused you.”

Violet had been saved by Gabriel last night, and she was in an ambiguous. situation with Patrick.

Gerald had yet to figure out Violet's background. Additionally, with his company’s competitive game launch approaching, Gerald had no intention of confronting Patrick and Gabriel at the same time.

In acold tone, Violet said, “You don’t need to compensate me. I’m afraid you are more distressed after what happened last night, Mr. Olson.”

Gerald instantly recalled the embarrassing incident from last night, and his face turned slightly unpleasant.

He hadn't expected Violet to be so unrelenting with her words.

Skyler feared further delay might lead to complications, so he swiftly took out the contract termination papers. “Mr. Olson, since our goals align, can we proceed with the contract termination now?”

Gerald paid no attention to Skyler. He stared at Violet for a moment

before forcing a smile and said, “Of course we can.”

He could see the suppressed anger in Violet’s eyes.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

However, he didn’t let that bother him.

Even if she was angry, she couldn’t do anything to him.

If it weren’t for Gabriel's sudden appearance last night, Violet would likely have been at his mercy by now.

Violet and Gerald quickly signed the contract termination.

Skyler adopted a business-like tone, saying, “The remaining deposit will be returned to your account within one working day.” Gerald gave a nonchalant snort. “You can leave now. | won’t be seeing you

off.”

Violet and Skyler turned to leave..

But at that moment, a clear and prolonged f art sound emanated from the bathroom.
