Chapter 192
Chapter 192 The muscles in Violet's face tensed. “Miss Tyler.”
Wendy turned around and leaned against the sink. She looked at Violet indifferently. “You're really persistent. You appeared the minute Freddie. and | returned from overseas. Looks like you just can’t live without a man.”
Violet's expression darkened. She stood upright and looked at Wendy. “Miss Tyler, be mindful of what you’re saying.”
Wendy lifted one hand to admire her freshly manicured nails while the other hand played with the rhinestones adorning them. “Mindful? What should | be mindful about?”
She looked intently at Violet and said sarcastically, “Honestly, the one | should be mindful of is you. I’m afraid you may come between me and my fiance.
Violet's eyes narrowed, and she became more somber. “Miss Tyler, | already have a boyfriend. Stop being delusional.” Wendy put her hand down and glanced at Violet. “Are you talking about. Russell?
Violet pursed her lips. “No.”
Wendy snorted, “Are you trying to use a random man as a cover? Do you think I'll believe you?”
Violet did not want to put up with Wendy’s accusations any longer. “Wendy Tyler, stop messing with me.” Violet turned around and was about to leave.
Just when she walked to the bathroom door, Wendy stopped her. “Violet!”
Violet froze in her steps.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
She could never manage to stand upright and be confident in front of Wendy.

Back then, she almost became Freddie’s mistress unknowingly. It was something she could never get over.
Freddie was at fault because he did not make things clear to Wendy. However, Violet could not bring herself to censure Freddie since he had been protecting her all those years.
Feeling powerless, she could only keep her distance herself from both of them.
She wanted to move on from that episode and live her life in peace. However, trouble appeared to be seeking her out. At that moment, Violet had been pushed to her limit and did not want to bear with Wendy’s sarcasm any longer.
Seeing that Violet was ignoring her, Wendy raised her voice in anger, “Violet, | already told you about my relationship with Freddie back then. | thought you would wise up and back off. Looks like you don’t know what you're getting yourself into.”
Violet turned around and looked at Wendy coldly. “What are you trying to say?”
Wendy said arrogantly, “Let me enlighten you. Freddie's father is Christopher Stanton. There are five siblings in the Stanton family, including Christopher. Being the youngest child, his brothers and sisters doted on him. There are altogether three sons and two daughters in the Stanton family. The eldest son is in politics, while the second is in the army. The third and fourth daughters have entered into strategic marriages. The third daughter has formed a military-business alliance, while the fourth daughter has formed a military-political alliance.”
Violet looked at Wendy impassively.
Wendy continued to talk at length, “As for Christopher, Freddie’s father, he’s a businessman. The Stanton family is considered the most powerful force in Summerwood City. The influence they wield is beyond your imagination. Besides, the family is very close-knit. They all come from extraordinary backgrounds, excelling in their respective fields. Do your think you can marry into such a wealthy and affluent family?”
Wed, Juli Chapter 192
Wendy sneered, “What makes you think the Webb family will be a worthy match for the Stanton Freddie? Are you fit to be with Freddie? Do you want to marry into the Stanton family? Violet, dream on!”
Staring at Wendy, Violet suddenly felt relieved. People often emphasized their strengths or achievements in areas where they might feel insecure.
Wendy longed to marry Freddie to become a daughter-in-law of the Stanton family. Despite being engaged to Freddie for many years, she had yet to marry into the family.
She lacked the very thing she was trying to flaunt in front of Violet.
Violet suddenly broke into a smile. “You're right. I’m indeed not worthy of marrying into such an influential family as the Stanton family. Let me give you a piece of advice, Wendy. You, too, won't be able to marry into. the Stanton family with your family background. Even if you eventually marry Freddie, you will always remain a loser in this marriage.”
Violet walked away without looking back. Wendy shouted after her angrily, “You're the loser, Violet. What right do you have to say that about me!” Violet ignored Wendy's rants. She had no intention of answering Wendy.
Back then, she could not tolerate how Wendy ridiculed her. The latter always viewed her as a mistress.
The truth was that Violet was never in a relationship with Freddie. Shet only had a crush on him.
All those years, Violet had never gotten over the incident. She thought she was in the wrong. However, Wendy insulted Violet’s views on love by censuring her in a self-righteous manner.
When she heard what Wendy said, she realized she could finally let go. It was a release for her. There was no need for Wendy to make things difficult for Violet. In the Chapter 192 end, Wendy might not even get what she wanted.
What Violet did not expect was the extent of influence and power the Stanton family had in Summerwood City. It was not something she could. ever imagine.
When Violet arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, she bumped into Freddie. Violet looked at him calmly. “Skyler? Where are you going?”
Freddie looked at her in silence. After a while, he finally spoke with a self- deprecating expression, “Why aren't you calling me by my name now?”
Violet pursed her lips. “This is the Alumni Gathering. I’m just following what the others are calling you. There’s nothing wrong calling you by your name, Freddie.”
Freddie’s eyes flickered. “Viola, I'm very happy to see you again!” Violet looked calm and composed. “I’m also very happy to see you again. Let's get inside first. I've been gone for a long time.” Freddie smiled and nodded. It was apparent that what Violet just said boosted his confidence.
When Violet and Freddie returned to the couch where their classmates. were gathered, some of them teased, “Skyler, didn’t you say you're going to the toilet? That’s fast!”
