Chapter 286
Violet’s gaze eloquently conveyed her doubts.
If the date had been a failure, why would Patrick have been so close to Riley?
Everyone was aware that Patrick wasn’t an average person. He had always been rather distant in his interactions with others. It was even more surprising that he had allowed a woman to follow him around and even took photos for her!
Patrick could tell from Violet’s expression what was on her mind.
He couldn’t help but smirk and said, “Don’t jump to conclusions based on just what you sec. There is nothing between Riley and me. It’s you who seems to be bothered by her, and before that, you were concerned about Rose’s lipstick being in my car. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you have a crush on me!”


Upon hearing the last sentence, Violet’s relaxed demeanor immediately tensed up.
Especially when she remembered Patrick’s statement in the hotel’s private suite that he couldn’t possibly like her.
She averted her gaze and began to play dumb as she said, “What are you talking about? I… I… I already told you. I’m your contract wife. If another person comes into the picture, I’d be uncomfortable. I don’t want a third person involved, alright?”
Upon hearing this, Patrick’s expression visibly darkened. He raised an eyebrow and glanced at Violet, “Is that so?”
Violet nodded earnestly and answered, “Of course!”
It suddenly occurred to Patrick that Russell had mentioned Violet’s fondness for someone in the same school before.
How could she possibly like him if she was so fond of that man?


The thought made Patrick’s mood take a sharp nosedive!
He adopted a noticeably colder tone, “You can rest assured; there’s nothing between Riley and me!”
Violet, seeing Patrick’s shifting mood, seemed to grow unhappy once more. She sighed. me ntally, wondering what was wrong with him.


However, when she thought about his injured hand, she couldn’t help but feel pained. Regardless of the circumstances, she decided to tactfully apologize and improve his
mood.

I’ll definitely compensate where necessary. However, Rebecca was inadvertently involved in a murder case, and if her family wants to shift the blame to the company, don’t blame me for

Violet raised her head and saw that Patrick had just finished his phone call.
Patrick looked at her with a pensive expression as if contemplating something serious.
Violet was about to speak when her phone rang.
Seeing Freddie’s call, Violet hesitated for a moment before picking up the call.
Before she could speak, Freddie anxiously said, “Viola, are you alright? I heard that someone died in Mount Summerwood Resort & Spa, and I knew you were there. I was so worried!”
Violet looked up and noticed that Patrick had finished his phone call.
Violet hesitated and looked at him with a troubled expression.
Patrick, as if he hadn’t heard her words, repeated, “Answer it in front of me.”
Violet almost subconsciously complied, not wanting to argue, especially considering his injury.
After all, it didn’t really matter where she answered the call.
Freddie heard her say something and asked, “Viola, is someone with you there?”
Violet replied with a serious tone, “Yes, it’s a colleague. Didn’t I just reply to your message? I’m fine. You should go to sleep. I’m about to go to sleep!”
Freddie remained silent for a while.
