Chapter 224
Robert shook his head helplessly and asked, “Tell me, what happened to you? Who made you upset?“.
Robert asked the question, but without thinking, he knew it was about Violet.
He could not think of anyone else who would dare to anger Patrick like this.
Patrick shot a glance at Robert and couldn’t help but say, “Do you know what she said? She called me
disgusting. I’ve never seen a woman more ungrateful than her!”
Robert burst into laughter and said, “Tsk, how should I put it? There’s a saying that goes, ‘Men are
cheap. The easier it is to get them, the less they cherish it.‘ Violet doesn’t give you any regard, and if
she says she’s angry, you’re the
eager one!”
Patrick gave him a cold look. “Robert, who are you calling cheap?”
Robert’s face changed, and he immediately pointed at himself. “I’m cheap, I’m cheap, I am the
cheapest man in the world!”
Patrick was in a fit of anger, so he did not want to argue with him. Otherwise, the two of them might end
up having a fight.
Upon hearing this, Patrick let out a cold, scornful laugh. “You’re truly cheap, always fawning over
women.”
Robert shook his head helplessly. “Bro, you’ve got it all wrong! What you call fawning over women, I
call being a gentleman. It’s a basic courtesy from a man to a woman. The only difference is that I mean
it sincerely. If you don’t put your heart into a woman, the concept of being cheap doesn’t apply to you at
all. You need to think about it!”
Patrick glanced at him and took a sip of wine in silence.
The next day, Violet arrived at the design department.
She had just entered the office when she heard a commotion.
“Oh my god, is Mr. Hersey dating someone now?”
“I think so! Mr. Hersey wouldn’t get close to other women in public!”
“Look at those gestures. Dominant yet gentle. I’m so envious!”
“You guys can gossip about Mr. Hersey all you want. He will be here in three seconds, and you’ll all get
reprimanded!”
People discussed it fervently.

At the same time, Violet was confused and felt a sense of foreboding.
She grabbed Sophia and asked, “What’s going on?”

Sophia glanced at Violet and opened her phone, whispering, “Violet, your celebrity client, Rose, might
be dating our boss. Take a look at this news!”
Violet, her face tense, quickly skimmed through the entertainment news.
The news prominently emphasized that Patrick and Rose had an extraordinary. relationship, stirring up
scandals time and time again. They were even caught together, indicating that something significant
might be on the horizon.
The news included several photos showing the scene where Patrick was embracing Rose.
Violet had just been to where the photos had been taken last night. It was at the entrance of Quendar
Restaurant.
Just from the pictures, the bulging veins on Patrick’s hand while he held Rose spoke volumes about the
force he used and his possessiveness.
And Rose, almost her entire self, was melting in his embrace.
Violet’s heart sank, and her eyes turned red!
Violet wondered how Patrick managed to be involved with two women while appearing righteous and
honorable.
Violet suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said to Sophia, “Go to work, and you should stop
paying attention to such boring things!” she said.
With that, she returned to her seat.
Sophia blinked and quickly put away her phone to go to work.
Violet stared at the design drawings, her eyes stinging. No wonder Patrick had warned her not to have
any improper thoughts about him.
Violet couldn’t help but curl her lip sarcastically, thinking that Patrick must have foreseen this
happening. If she had any expectations from him, it would undoubtedly lead to further complications.
Meanwhile, Patrick was in the CEO’s office on the top floor.
As soon as he entered, he threw his coat on the sofa and walked towards his desk.
He came straight from a hotel to work today.

Chapter 224
Violet had dared to call him disgusting. This time, he couldn’t forgive her easily, nor would he bow down
to her.
As Patrick was thinking, Nelson knocked on the door and entered.
“Mr. Hersey, there are some developments regarding last night’s incident. However, we haven’t
identified the person behind it. The driver was a Convicted felon, and he died. last night before he could
be taken to the hospital. The car was a stolen vehicle. This man had recently escaped from prison, but
we don’t know why he chose to crash into you, as he didn’t contact anyone after his escape.” Nelson
reported truthfully.
Patrick’s face instantly darkened.
Now, there was no need for guessing; it was clear that it had been a premeditated murder.
His voice turned chilling. “Continue investigating the people around this man and his connections. He
was willing to trade his life for mine, so someone must have promised him significant benefits. This
person profiting from it should be related to him. Investigate thoroughly!”
Nelson nodded and said, “Yes, Mr. Hersey. I’ll keep investigating the case. Also, there is something you
might…”
Nelson suddenly became hesitant.
Patrick knitted his eyebrows and asked, “What are you talking about/”
Nelson took out his phone and handed it to Patrick. “There is news about you and Ms. Jamson!”
Nelson didn’t know what exactly the relationship between Patrick and Rose was.
However, with two rumors already circulating between them and Patrick not taking any action to
address them, Nelson remained uncertain about what he truly thought.
As soon as Patrick saw the news, he instantly emitted an aura of impending storm. “Is this Rose’s
doing?”
Seeing his displeased expression, Nelson quickly shook his head. “I don’t know. But if you need it, I
can make a call to suppress the news now.”
Patrick fell silent for two seconds and then shook his head. “Suppressing it now would only make me
look guilty.”

Patrick rejected his idea without hesitation, “No!”

Chapter 224
He had already gotten into a conflict with Violet, so he didn’t want to take the initiative. to clarify things.
It was as if he was in the wrong.
Nelson thought that Patrick was probably angry because he cared about Violet’s thoughts.
He suggested, “Why don’t you just explain it to Miss Webb? The rumors will disappear after a while!”
Patrick blurted out. That is impossible!”
“Oh!” Nelson froze and suddenly did not know what to say.
With a cold expression, Patrick, who had been called disgusting by Violet, couldn’t possibly swallow his
pride and explain to her. That was out of the question.
He thought for a moment and said, “Ask Rose to come to see me!”
Nelson did not know what Patrick wanted to do, but he still nodded respectfully and said, “Yes, Mr.
Hersey!”
At the same time, Rose came to the design department.
She was accompanied by Helen.
Rose appeared jubilant. She hadn’t expected that last night’s scene had been captured
on camera.
However, as long as Patrick investigated, he would know that this matter had nothing to do with her
and that she was innocent!
She came today to apologize to Patrick and to let him know that she didn’t intentionally avoid keeping
her distance. This incident was purely an accident.
Violet was expressionless the whole time. The moment she brought Rose and Helen into the reception
room, everyone else was freaked out.
“Oh my, the rumors have just spread, and she’s already come to our company. It’s like she’s afraid that
people won’t know!”
“We all know what she is here for! She wants everyone to know that Mr. Hersey belongs to her!”
