Chapter 208
Violet looked at the message she had created hesitantly. She wondered if she should modify it to be more tactful.
However, the moment she entered the design department, everyone was engaged in a fervent discussion.
Violet listened carefully and finally understood what the matter was.
It turned out that this morning, someone had unmanned Gerald and left him at the entrance of the police station covered in blood.
The person who saved him was said to be a fisherman who had picked up Gerald from the beach.
He was tortured beyond recognition, and there was a confession letter beside him. In it were all the bad things he had done over the years. Even the evidence was packed and placed beside him in a waterproof bag.
The fisherman was a kind-hearted person. Seeing that Gerald had done so many evil things, he directly threw Gerald at the entrance of the police. station.
Gerald's case was irrefutable. With the confession, he was sentenced to life imprisonment in the morning.
As the news of his sentence spread, his gaming company which had lost its capital, also declared bankruptcy. His crimes were obvious, and all the businesses under him were confiscated.
Violet was initially still thinking about Rose and Patrick.
When she first heard the news about Gerald, she was so shocked that she
did not recover for a moment.
She thought of the joint venture between Robert and Patrick. The source code of the previous game had been stolen by Gerald. Could this be Patrick's revenge?
Violet had always known Patrick's methods. When she suddenly heard of
151 Thu Jan 22-
how Gerald had ended up, she still felt a little panicked.
She looked down at the message on her phone and quickly deleted it.
Patrick did not mention this matter at all. If she took the initiative to mention it, Patrick would feel embarrassed. It would probably not end well. It was better to wait and see!
Just as Violet was thinking about this, she saw that Patrick had actually sent her a message.
[Let’s eat together tonight!]
Violet was stunned and felt inexplicably flustered. Was he planning to lay his cards on the table with her and dissolve their marriage?
She replied, [Okay. Send me the address. I'll go over myself after work!]
[No need. You can come with me!]
Violet held her phone tightly. Her expression was complex.
Violet texted, [Sure!]
She had no right to say no.
After all, she was married to Patrick. Although Patrick was conceited and cold and had a bad temper, he treated her well! Ever since they got married, he had helped her countless times. Moreover he would always help her without saying anything, which saved her from embarrassment and allowed her to keep her pride.
She should be grateful to him.
However, when Violet thought of Helen’s arrogant face and Rose’s shy expression, she felt extremely uncomfortable!
It was almost time to get off work in the afternoon when Violet received a call from Freddie.
“Hello, Viola. Are you busy?” Freddie’s voice seemed to be always gentle.

Violet nodded and said calmly, “I’m working on a design draft. What’s the matter?”
Freddie chuckled. “Can't | call you if nothing’s up?”
Violet frowned. “No. I'm at work!”
Freddie smiled and did not continue teasing her. “Let me treat you to dinner tonight, okay?”
Violet rejected him without thinking. “I’m meeting someone tonight!”
The smile in Freddie's voice faded. “Viola, you've rejected me twice. Is it that difficult to have a meal with me? Don’t hide from me, okay?”
Violet was a little exasperated. “Freddie, I'm really not avoiding you. | really have something on today!”
Freddie was quite sad to be rejected by Violet this time. He asked in an ungentlemanly manner, “What is it?”
Violet frowned and said in a low voice, “I made an appointment with my boyfriend to have dinner together. | don’t want to stand him up!
Freddie’s voice sounded complicated. “I heard that you broke up with
Russell?”
Violet nodded. “Yes!”
Freddie sounded a little sad. “You broke up not long ago, but you have already found a new boyfriend in such a short time?” Violet really did not know what Freddie was up to.
However, she was still grateful to him for taking care of her in the past few
years.
She thought for a moment and said, “Freddie, when fate comes, it can’t be stopped. You should understand. If there’s nothing else, I'll
work!”
With that, Violet hung up.

Violet thought that she and Patrick would discuss the divorce over dinner tonight.
In the end, when she arrived at Quendar Restaurant, she realized that she had thought too much.
There were actually three people in the private room.
There was Robert, Eleanor, and an unknown middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties.
Patrick sat down and gestured for Violet to sit down beside him.
Robert looked at Patrick. “Patrick, what’s going on today? Why don’t |
understand?”
Patrick looked up at him and directly said, “Because you're a fool!”
Violet's heart tightened. It seemed that today’s dinner was completely different from what she had imagined it to be!
Robert's expression changed slightly. “Patrick, why are you being so insulting? How did | offend you?”
Patrick glanced at Eleanor, who had her head lowered and a nervous expression on her face, and then at the man beside her. He was Eleanor’s father, Ronald Foster.
Patrick didn’t answer Robert’s question. Instead, he asked, “Robert, did M Ronald save your life in the past?”
Robert had no idea what Patrick wanted to do. He nodded gloomily. “Yes, he saved me when | was young!”
Otherwise, with Eleanor’s status as a distant relativé, she wouldn't have. been able to influence him. Their relationship was also closer than others.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Patrick looked at Robert seriously. “You've been searching for two days, but you haven’t found the company’s traitor, right?” Upon hearing this, Robert’s expression changed. “Patrick, what are you...”
G.
Violet suddenly guessed what was going on. She subconsciously looked at Eleanor.
As expected, when Eleanor heard the word ‘traitor, her face turned. extremely pale.
Patrick said bluntly, “Robert, we’ve always been on good terms. Since you can’t find the traitor, I'll help you!”
Robert was not a fool. Patrick had made it quite clear. His expression changed rapidly. “You mean that this matter is El...” Before he could say Eleanor’s name, Eleanor panicked and knocked over the teacup beside her hand.
Patrick didn’t even look at her. He just looked at Robert and said, “Don’t look at me like that. If | can bring it to the table to talk about it, then the evidenc is conclusive! | called you and Mr. Ronald here because he saved
and he is Eleanor’s father! Robert, | am giving you respect by doing this! Do you understand?”

Ronald looked confused. “Robert, what are you two talking about? Why don’t | understand?”
Eleanor clutched her top tightly, her body trembling slightly.
Robert ignored Ronald and looked directly at the cold expression on Patrick’s face. His expression flickered so quickly that it was unreadab
In the end, he nodded. “I understand. You didn’t deal with her directly because of me. What do you want to do then?”
Patrick did not answer his question. Instead, he asked Violet beside hin “Violet, what do you want to do?”
Violet pointed at herself in shock. “Me? This... has nothing to do with me right?”
She did not remember when Eleanor had offended her. As for the traitor, it had nothing to do with her!
