Chapter 291

Violet was caught off guard and immediately fought back.

However, a group of people rushed toward her, overwhelming her. She couldn’t defend herself against so many people.

Countless hands and feet charged toward her.

Violet could clearly hear the middle-aged woman who was hitting her shouting, “You murderer! I’ll kill you! Why don’t you die? Give me back my daughter!”

The security guards outside shouted, “There’s a fight! We need more people to come and stop this!”

Violet was trapped in the circle of attackers. She tried her best to shield her head and avoid the blows raining down on her.

It took quite some time for the security guards to control the enraged crowd and rescue. Violet.

Her hair was in disarray, her clothes torn, and her face and arms marked with bruises. She looked extremely disheveled.

Violet watched as the security guards kept the people who had hit her outside. She held. her bag and felt a sharp pain all over her b*dy. At this moment, she just wanted to find a secluded place to hide. She had a rough idea of who these people might be.

However, she needed to understand the situation better.

But just as she was about to turn away, a car screeched to a halt in front of the company building. The driver’s seat opened, and Patrick rushed out.

Violet’s expression changed, and she instinctively used her bag to cover her face, intending to make a dash for the company.

When Patrick saw Violet clearly, his pupils constricted sharply. He strode over in large strides and grabbed her arm firmly. “Violet!”

Violet was being held back by Patrick, and she knew that it was futile to escape from

him now.

On the way, he received a message informing him that Violet had been attacked. Hence, he quickly sped up and drove over.

Although he tried his best to come over as soon as possible, he was still too late to prevent Violet from being hurt.

Violet bit her l*p and decided to remove her handbag to uncover her face. With bruises on her face, she looked up at Patrick. She said, “You don’t need to apologize. This has nothing to do with you, and I’m not seriously injured. Besides, I’ve figured out who those people are. They must be Rebecca’s family. Their daughter died in my room, so it’s understandable that they’re upset.”

Patrick’s handsome face tensed up severely. “Even if they’re upset, they shouldn’t have attacked you. This has nothing to do with you.”

Violet pursed her l*ps. “It’s true that it has nothing to do with me. But since Rebecca, died in my room, her family sees it differently.”

Patrick wanted to say something but hesitated. His mouth moved, but in the end, he did not say anything.

Violet glanced at his injured hand and said in a gentle voice, “Okay, it’s just some superficial wounds. Nothing serious. But can you drive with your hand like that? Why did you come here by yourself?”

Patrick looked at the bruises on Violet’s b*dy, and he felt a sharp pang of pain. His eyes were red with anger. “Who told you to come to work alone? If I don’t drive myself, how. can I get to the company?”

Violet understood that Patrick was worried about her. She said nicely, “I did lose my temper at you for no reason last night, so I felt a bit awkward. I didn’t want to face you, so I left early.”

With that, she lowered her head and looked at Patrick’s hand. “You should let go of me first. The gauze is bleeding again. Let me take a look at your hand.

Patrick seemed instantly affected. His voice filled with annoyance as he said, “Is that all you care about, Violet? If this wound wasn’t because of you, would you still be concerned about me?”

Violet looked at Patrick, slightly confused. “Of course, I would. I’m just showing concern for you.”

Upon hearing this, Patrick was completely stunned.

He stared at Violet for a moment, then suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace.

Violet quickly pushed him away. “Let go of me. This is the entrance of the company!”

However, Patrick’s embrace only tightened.

Violet was a bit afraid of being seen, so she nervously spoke up, “I’m a bit sore. Can you please let go for now?”

Upon hearing this, Patrick immediately released his grip, looking somewhat flustered as he gazed at Violet. He said with great concern, “Where does it hurt? I’ll take you to the hospital right away!”

Violet looked around. She was relieved that there were no employees at the entrance. just now.

She looked at Patrick helplessly and said, “I don’t need to go to the hospital. It’s just some bruises on my b*dy. It’s not that serious.”

He stared at Violet and said firmly, “Don’t worry. I will deal with this matter. And also, about what happened last night, you don’t need to feel guilty. I understand that you were scared. After all, someone died, and they were after you. It’s natural for you to feel upset and flustered. But rest assured, I will protect you.”

Patrick looked at Violet, his expression softening slightly. He reached out and gently. ruffled her hair.

At this moment, Rebecca’s mother, who had been blocked by the security guards, was growing impatient.

She was like a shrew, jumping and shouting like a madwoman. She pointed at the company’s entrance and berated loudly, “This company is despicable! Instead of working properly, they have to go out for team building. Now, they’ve killed my daughter. If you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll throw myself in front of a car right. here. I’ll make sure the police come and arrest all of you!”

Violet furrowed her brows. She had never imagined that the proud Rebecca had come from such a family.

The Lexington family had brought many people with them. Violet saw that some were holding wreaths and standing on the outskirts, while others held banners that read “Return my daughter’s life.”

Violet couldn’t help but frown. She was about to say something when she heard. Patrick’s low voice saying, “Wait, I’ll handle this.”
