The host smiled and said, “Is there anyone else continuing to bid? If not, I will strike the gavel to confirm the final winner. First time at 20 million dollars, second time at 20 million dollars, third time at 20 million dollars. Congratulations, Mr. Hersey, for winning our exquisite queen crown. After the auction, our staff will contact you for the handover of the item!”

After the charity auction ended, Violet needed to use the restroom.

Patrick waited outside for her.

At this moment, Riley walked over with an extremely livid expression. “Patrick, do you. have to go against me for that woman Violet?”

Patrick casually glanced at her and said coldly, “Who do you think you are? Do you think you can compete with me?”

Riley was so angry that her hand trembled with anger. Her voice was full of rage as she said, “Patrick, why are you acting like this? What does Violet have that I don’t? The girlfriend you mentioned at your house the other day was Violet, right? Her family background is not as good as mine. Her looks and figure are certainly not better than mine. Why…”

Patrick didn’t want to engage with her and interrupted her, saying, “Riley, even if she were a beggar, I’d still choose her over you. Stay away from me.”

Riley looked at Patrick in disbelief. Was she really that terrible?

She had gone to meet Patrick for a blind date, and now she was humiliated by him. It was even worse today. Patrick didn’t care about her dignity at all.

Why was Violet so special?

When she didn’t leave, Patrick’s expression turned cold, his tone chilling. “I’ll say it again. Leave.”

Riley shrank her shoulders in fear. When Patrick’s gaze met hers, she felt for a second that he might lay hands on her.

She bit her l*p and ultimately said, “Patrick, you’ll regret this!”

After saying that, Riley left in tears.

Friday arrived quickly.

Just as Violet had started work in the morning, she received a call from Gabriel. “Vivi,

do you have time today?”

70%

Violet’s first thought was that Patrick had asked her the same question a few days ago.

She furrowed her brows. “Do you need something?”

Gabriel suddenly sounded displeased. “Vivi, you have no conscience. We agreed when we were on Mount Summerwood the other day. I’m going to treat you to a meal after you come down the mountain, remember? You even said I could choose the time and place. It seems you didn’t take this seriously!”

Violet felt a bit embarrassed hearing Gabriel’s words. “I’m sorry. I’ve been really busy lately, and I completely forgot.”

“So, do you have time or not?” Gabriel’s voice seemed to carry a light chuckle.

Violet thought for a moment and replied, “I should be free.”

Patrick had mentioned the other day that he was just asking casually and it wasn’t anything important.

Gabriel couldn’t help but click his tongue when he heard her response. “What do you mean ‘should be? Either you do, or you don’t. Can you give me a proper answer?”

Violet pondered for a couple of seconds. “Yes, I do. Just send me the time and location. later.

Gabriel chuckled and said, “Alright, I knew you wouldn’t go back on your word. I’ll be waiting for you to come over tonight!”

Violet listened to Gabriel’s cheerful voice and hung up the phone, feeling a bit annoyed.

At the same time, in Patrick’s office.

Robert sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking like a limp figure..

Patrick lifted his eyelids to look at him. “Do you have something to discuss?”

Upon hearing this, Robert immediately sat up straight, his l*ps curving into a smile. “Last night, I won an item at the auction and left early. I heard you bought a queen. crown for 20 million dollars. Are you planning to give it to Violet?”

Patrick looked at him coldly. “And?”

Robert wore a gossipy expression. “Don’t give me that look. It’s making me nervous. I’m just curious. Are you planning to give that thing to Violet?”

Patrick’s eyes flashed, and he calmly replied, “I understand her. She won’t accept it right.

now.”

Robert was dumbfounded. “Then why did you buy it? Just for fun? Spending a fortune. for a smile?”

He had heard that Patrick’s purchase of the queen crown also had an element of dealing with Riley. Maybe Riley had upset Violet, so Patrick deliberately opposed Riley.

Patrick looked at Robert as if he were looking at a fool. “Just because she won’t accept it now doesn’t mean she won’t in the future. Use your brain a bit.”

Robert suddenly realized. “So you’re planning to give it to her in the future?”

BEACH

Patrick, unusually candid, glanced at Robert and admitted. “I want to start over with her.

Robert looked at him in puzzlement. “You’re legally together now. What do you mean by starting over?”

Patrick looked at Robert in exasperation, but since he was a close friend, he explained at bit. “I want to confess, date, propose, and then get married. Each step is essential. This queen crown is the wedding gift I want to give her. I want her to marry me with this crown and veil. Do you have any objections?”

Robert was taken aback. He struggled to find words.

Perhaps, when in love, people spontaneously become romantic. He hadn’t expected that the typically aloof Patrick would plan something like this!

He looked at Patrick, and his eyes flickered. “Are you planning to confess tonight? Don’t forget, it’s your birthday today.”

It was Patrick’s birthday.

Patrick hesitated for a moment and shook his head. “It’s a bit too soon. We’ve only just started getting along these past few days.”

Robert grumbled unenthusiastically, “You got me all excited for nothing. Oh, by the way, did you already inform Violet about your birthday?”

Patrick recalled that he had asked Violet if she was free on Friday, and she had agreed. He nodded in acknowledgment.

“Okay, I’ll head out now. Tonight at the View Road villa, I’ll throw you a birthday party. Make sure to invite Violet to join us!”

Patrick nodded.

Robert stood up and left.

In the design department, Violet hung up Gabriel’s call and couldn’t shake off a feeling of uncase.

Even though Patrick had casually asked her if she was free on Friday, he didn’t strike her as the type to inquire about such things casually!

Violet thought for a moment and took out her phone, sending a message on WhatsApp to Patrick.

Violet said, [Patrick, when you asked me if I was free on Friday, you meant there’s nothing important going on, right?]

Patrick asked, [Why do you ask? What does it matter?]

Violet replied, [Well, you see, after what happened with Gerald last time and Gabriel helping me out, I’ve been wanting to treat him to a meal. But I couldn’t find a suitable time. He suggested having dinner tonight, and I agreed.]

After sending the message, Patrick suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, Patrick finally replied.

Patrick wrote. [Since you’ve already agreed to someone else, why bother asking me?]

Violet stared at the message, completely stunned. Why did it feel like Patrick was upset?

Ever since Patrick had saved her on Mount Summerwood, she felt like the relationship between them had improved significantly. In this situation, Violet was feeling a bit troubled and didn’t know what to do.
