Wendy was a little embarrassed. She was indignant and said emotionally, “How can she be so fragile?
Is she made of glass something?”
or
Freddie’s expression turned slightly cold. “Wendy!”
Wendy immediately made a gesture of surrender. “Okay, okay! I’ll listen to you. I’ll try my best to avoid
her in the future!”
She was completely confident that Violet would not gossip about what she had said to Violet in front of
Freddie.
Violet was the kind of girl who was headstrong and naive. She cherished her reputation too much. In
Wendy’s opinion, Violet was no match for her!
Freddie glanced at her and left with a dark expression.
When Freddie returned to the banquet hall, he realized that Violet had already left.
Jules looked at him angrily. “Where did you go? You didn’t even pick up the phone. I went out to look
for you for a long time!”
Freddie was expressionless. “I got something to do!”
A girl’s eyes lit up. “Freddie, Violet’s boyfriend is super handsome and elegant. I think he is no worse
than those superstars on television!”
Freddie’s expression turned cold. “Is that so?”
The girl nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I got a photo. I secretly took it just now. Do you want to see it,
Freddie?”
Freddie was frustrated for no reason. “No need!”
The girl paused for a moment and said to Freddie in embarrassment, “Actually, you’re on par with him,
Freddie. But you two are not the same. type!”
Freddie felt like he was asking for trouble. He clearly heard that Violet had

a boyfriend, but he still refused to give up.
He heard his own voice ask numbly, “Really? What’s his type, then?”
When the girl heard Freddie ask her, she became excited again. “Violet’s boyfriend is domineering and
cold. And you’re gentle, considerate, and wise! You sure have different styles!”
When Freddie heard this, he laughed self-deprecatingly and did not say anything else.
Jules looked at him worriedly but did not say anything.
Violet and Megan came to attend the Alumni Gathering in Megan’s car.
When Patrick came to pick up Violet, he chose Violet’s Volkswagen.
Megan did not drink, so she drove home.
Violet glanced at the car and looked at Patrick in surprise.
Patrick explained. “When I went to the bar. I drove your car!”
Violet nodded, indicating that she understood.
The butler had prepared a backup of all the cars in Hersey Court fo including Violet’s Volkswagen.
The two of them got into the car, and Tom started the engine.
Tom Peterson was Patrick’s exclusive driver. However, Patrick usually drove his own car when he went
to and from work. Only when Patrick wa especially tired from traveling would he let Tom drive. Tom
would usually listen to Nelson’s instructions and help Patrick handle some trivial
matters.
The car followed the flashing neon lights all the way to Hersey Court.
Violet was silent for a moment before taking the initiative to thank Patrick. “Mr. Hersey, thank you for
tonight!”
The lights in the car were not turned on. Patrick leaned against the backseat and pretended to sleep.
When he heard Violet’s words, he opened

his eyes. His expression was dark, and his voice was a little deep as he said, “No need to thank me!”
Violet pursed her lips. “I still have to thank you. The Alumni Gathering was held in such a faraway
place. Thank you for coming all the way to pick me up!”
After all, the distance between the Sunny May Hotel and Hersey Court was almost 1.5 times that
between Hersey Court and Timeless Bar.
Violet was so polite that it made Patrick feel helpless. His heart was filled with mixed feelings. It was
dark in the car, so he could look at Violet without any fear of being discovered by her.
After a long while, he said faintly, “Violet, we’re married. Even if it’s an act, I’m more qualified to appear
in front of you than anyone else. Similarly, if I have such a need, I’ll inform you!”
Violet instantly understood what Patrick meant. She quickly nodded. “Yes, Mr. Hersey, feel free to ask if
you need anything. I will definitely do my
best!”
Patrick did not say anything. He turned his head to look out of the car window and smiled self-
deprecatingly
Violet’s phone rang.
Violet lowered her head and realized that it was Freddie contacting her on WhatsApp.
As soon as the Alumni Gathering started, they friended each other on WhatsApp. Although Violet did
not want to friend Freddie, it was not appropriate to say it on an occasion like that.
Freddie asked, [Viola, why did you leave?]
Violet replied, [My boyfriend was there to pick me up!]
Freddie continued, [Yeah, they told me about it. By the way, from now on, I will stay in Summerwood
City. Keep in touch at all times!]
Violet responded, [Sure, I will.]

Patrick suddenly turned to look at her and said, “Who are you texting?”
Violet told the truth. “It’s just Freddie. When you were with me just now, he went out for something.
Now he’s asking me why I suddenly left!”

Violet tactfully silenced her phone and put it away. When she saw the
light up again, she ignored it.

After a while, Patrick’s phone rang.
Patrick slowly picked up his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and answered the call.
“Hello, what’s up?” Patrick’s voice was calm and emotionless.
A man’s clear voice came from the other end of the phone. “I just heard from the manager that you just
came to the hotel?”
Patrick seemed to have thought of something and was stunned for a second. “Yes, I was there to pick
up a friend!”
“Sure, Patrick, you’re not young anymore. Think about your personal problems. Yesterday, Mom even
asked me what happened between you and Gloria. Why did Gloria suddenly go overseas? Didn’t you
say that you were about to register your marriage? Why is there no news?”
Patrick’s voice was calm as he replied, “I broke up with her!”
Violet subconsciously glanced at Patrick. When she saw that Patrick was also looking at her, she
quickly looked away.
“You’ve been dating for a few years. Why did you break up?” The man on the other end of the line
seemed very surprised.
However, he paused for a moment before continuing, “Fine, it’s good that you’ve broken up. Let me tell
you the truth. Mom said that she wasn’t very satisfied with Gloria in the first place. She even asked me
yesterday if you’re interested in the daughter of the Smith family!”
Patrick’s mother did not like Gloria. The main reason was that Wendy and
Gloria were cousins, and Wendy was now his brother’s nominal fiancée. His mother did not at all want
the brothers to marry two girls from the same family.
Patrick did not expect her mother to be so worried about him without his knowledge.
He frowned. “Tell her to stop fussing. I have a girlfriend!”
