My Wife Is An All-Around Expert

Chapter 152
Violet’s b*dy stiffened, feeling the warmth against her collarbone. She seemed to be getting warmer all over.
Her face turned red, and she struggled with an unpleasant expression. “Mr. Hersey. let go of me. You’re drunk. I’ll take you back to your room to rest!”
Patrick held Violet in place, catching a faint fragrance from her. His eyes flickered. Did she think that he was drunk?
It seemed like Violet had a higher tolerance for him when she assumed he was drunk.
Patrick’s eyes held a murky, uncertain expression. He didn’t even know what he was thinking. He pretended to be half-drunk and mumbled, “Don’t move. I’m not drunk. I can still drink later!”
Violet was dumbfounded and felt a bit awkward. He was really drunk!
She felt helpless. She figured that when Patrick sobered up tomorrow, he would realize how unruly he had been tonight. He would be in a bad mood and regret his behavior.
Violet felt Patrick’s grip loosen a bit, and she tried to push him away.
But immediately, Patrick held her even tighter, his voice slightly h oa rse and deep. “Be good, don’t move!”
Violet’s heart fluttered. She took a deep breath, thinking that Patrick was just drunk.
Besides, he had never spoken to her in this manner before. He must have mistaken her for someone else!
With this in mind, Violet’s expression suddenly turned grim.
She bit her lip and suddenly used her elbow to hit Patrick’s chest forcefully.
Patrick groaned in pain and instinctively reached out to cover his chest. He hadn’t expected this woman to be so ruthless.

Violet took the opportunity to push him away and quickly ran back to her
room.
Patrick held his chest. Violet’s hit jolted him awake, but he felt even more helpless. He had brought this upon himself.
Since he had told Violet not to have any improper thoughts about him, he should also have kept his distance. What was he doing now?
He didn’t even understand himself!
But Patrick realized he was still playing the drunken act. He slid down the wall helplessly. He leaned against the wall with his eyes closed and sat on
the floor.
If Violet found out he wasn’t really drunk, things would get complicated.
Back in her room, Violet realized she had overreacted.
She calmed down and opened the door of her room. Then, she saw Patrick sitting against the wall in the corridor.
She thought for a moment and decided not to approach him herself. Instead, she called the butler to come and help, having Patrick escorted back to his room.
When Patrick woke up the next day, he found that Violet had already gone
to work.
Thinking back to the events of the previous night, his eyes darkened. A rare hint of regret appeared on his usual aloof and handsome face.
Violet arrived early that day. She planned to discuss Gerald’s contract with Skyler in the morning and find a way to cancel the custom jewelry
contract.
However, Skyler had something to attend to in the morning and wasn’t in the office. He was busy elsewhere.
So, Violet had no choice but to start working on her own.
At the same time, Eleanor received a call from Gerald.

Chapter 152
“Eleanor! How dare you lie to me!” Gerald’s tone was particularly furious.
Eleanor’s heart ski pped a beat. “What nonsense are you talking about? When did I lie to you?”
“You said that Violet is Patrick’s woman, didn’t you? Why did Gabriel come to me last night, causing trouble for me and accusing me of harassing his woman? Do you dare to say you didn’t deceive me?” Gerald was still fuming from last night’s failed plan, and his temper was flaring.
Eleanor hadn’t expected Gabriel to intervene and come to rescue Violet.
She frowned and said, “Mr. Olson, I have never lied to you. If you don’t believe me, ask around in our circle. Everyone knows that Patrick stood up for Violet in the Willis family matter. Moreover, Violet is a woman who likes to get involved with more than a man. It’s not a surprise that Gabriel would help her. How can you blame me for that?”
Gerald was not buying her explanations now. His voice was chilling. “I don’t care about Violet. You must come to Summerfield General Hospital right now. You’ve caused me trouble, and I’m hospitalized because of you!”
In his current state, he couldn’t confront Gabriel or Patrick. He could only take his anger out on Eleanor.
Eleanor was frightened by his tone. “Mr. Olson! Please, if you’re unwell, just focus on getting better. I…”
