"I empathize with his situation, but who empathizes with me?" Violette placed the soup on the stove
and made her way towards her room. "Mom, he has never shown me any respect, not even for a single
day."
Albina: "There's a huge gap between you two, it's understandable if he's a bit snooty towards you.
Don't just focus on his past, you should see the changes in him now..."
Violette raised her eyebrows, puzzled: "Why are you always taking his side? Do you think he'll change
and agree to let me have our two kids?"
Albina fell silent. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"Even a tiger, fierce as it is, doesn't eat its own cubs. If he doesn't want the kids, there must be a
reason." After a moment, Albina said, "I think the fact that he swallowed his pride to come here and
apologize means he does care about you, at least a little."
Violette covered her ears: "Mom, I'm going to bed. My head hurts."
Seeing her resistance, Albina didn't say more.
Albina left the room, planning to go downstairs to persuade Elijah to leave.
After she left, Violette let out a long breath...
Her head was hurting so bad, it was hard to think straight.
Just thinking about his name, his face, felt like something was choking her.
About twenty minutes later, Albina came back from downstairs.
She entered the room, saw Violette's sleeping face, and sighed.
Elijah was still downstairs.
No matter what Albina said, he wouldn't leave.
She was considering letting her daughter convince him to leave, but since she was asleep, it's best to
let her rest.
As for Elijah... all she could do now was pray for the rain to stop.
But the rain continued all night. And in the second half of the night, it increased, turning into a
downpour.
Albina was awakened by the rain in the middle of the night, she wanted to go downstairs to check, but
she was afraid of seeing something she didn't want to see, so she forced herself to stay in bed.
At six in the morning, Albina put on a sports jacket and went downstairs.
The neighborhood was old, the heavy rain had left puddles everywhere.
Elijah was gone, only then did Albina breathe a sigh of relief.
If only they could get a divorce this time.
But she was afraid, even after all this commotion, life would still go on as usual.
Eleven o'clock at noon.
The Bourne Group.
Ramsey ran all the way to the CEO's office on the top floor.
"Bro Joey, I couldn't get through to Elijah's phone, so I came to check." Ramsey lived closer to the ST
building, so he came directly.
Joey: "I can't reach him either."
Ramsey frowned: "It must be because of last night. Violette had a fight with Elijah last night. I bet they
had another big fight when they got home."
Joey had gradually gotten used to their fights.
"I heard Violette visited SwiftStream Capital this morning."
Ramsey replied, "Yes, that's why I'm here. Violette, along with her management team, went to
SwiftStream Capital. After the argument last night, there's no chance she'll sell the company to Elijah."
Joey poured Ramsey a glass of water, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke slowly, "There are
certain things that are beyond our control. If Violette truly chooses to collaborate with Derek, there's
nothing we can do about it."
"I just think Violette is going too far!" Ramsey still firmly supported Elijah, "What did Elijah do wrong? All
he did was tell her a white lie! Isn't the reason he had me step in because he was afraid she was too
proud to accept his goodwill..."
Joey: "Ramsey, you're still too young. The boss's willingness to acquire the Dennis Group is not entirely
for charity. The Dennis Group is not as hopeless as you think. It does have some value."
Ramsey: "What?"
Joey: "Violette is a woman, she tends to be more emotional. She's not angry about the money. She
feels her feelings were toyed with."
