Chapter 166
Ellie suddenly turned around and stuttered, “M-Mr. Hersey!”
Violet looked at Patrick in a daze. She was a little surprised by his sudden.
appearance.
Patrick looked at Ellie coldly, “Violet is right. | am indeed married!”
Ellie was so shocked that one could stuff an egg into her jaw-dropped mouth.
Patrick took a step forward and pinned a dark glare on Ellie. “Ms. Steele, do | have to make a big announcement to all of you if I'm married?”
Ellie was already feeling guilty. When she saw Patrick’s expression, she was even more afraid. “No... No, Mr. Hersey... I... | didn’t mean that. | just...”
Patrick snorted. “I don’t care what you mean. Let me tell you. Whether I’m single or married has nothing to do with you. Do you know what kind of person | hate the most?”
Ellie looked at Patrick in a daze and shook her head blankly.
Patrick’s expression was inexplicably frightening. “I hate it when people. gossip about my private life. Do you understand?” Ellie was so terrified that she quickly nodded.
“Get lost!” Patrick's command was emotionless.
Ellie hurriedly nodded and fled towards the private room.
Seeing Ellie run away, Violet pursed her lips. She planned to return to the private room too...
However, she had only taken two steps when Patrick grabbed her wrist.
Violet pursed her lips. “Mr. Hersey, let go!”
Patrick’s eyes darkened. “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Violet turned around and looked at him indifferently. “What do you want
me to say?”
Patrick’s face was tense as he thought about what happened that night.
He couldn't help himself and kissed Violet that night. At that time, he felt that he must have gone crazy!
Otherwise, why would he do something so uncontrollable?
However, he could not forget the kiss after that day. He had been avoiding Violet for the past few days because he wanted everything to return to
normal.
When he saw Violet again today, Patrick realized that he could no longer
return to
the peace he wanted.
It simply was not something that he could forget easily.
He looked at Violet with a restrained expression. “What happened that night...”
Violet's expression changed slightly. “You were just drunk that night, Mr. Hersey. | can understand that!”
Patrick’s expression instantly turned ugly. “Is that what you think?”
Violet asked, “Isn’t that the case?”
Patrick tightened his grip on Violet and gritted his teeth. “You're right. It’s just as you think. | drank too much, so my actions were a little strange. Don’t think too much!”
Violet's attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. “Mr. Hersey, don’t worry. | won’t think too much about it. It’s just a kiss. It won't kill anyone!”
Patrick’s handsome face turned ashen. He looked at Violet mockingly and sneered at her. “Yes, it’s just a kiss. How easy it is for you to get over it!”
Violet frowned. “Mr. Hersey, are you alright?”
Patrick suddenly realized he was behaving abnormally again. He suddenly let go of Violet’s hand and said in a tone so cold that it could freeze a

person inside out, “What can be wrong with me?”
Violet nodded. “Since there’s nothing else, I'll go back to the private room first!”
Violet was about to leave when Patrick suddenly shouted, “Violet!”
Violet turned around and looked at him. “Mr. Hersey, is there anything. else?”
Patrick stared at Violet and pursed his lips. “Rose and I...”
L
Violet was stunned. “Rose?”
Patrick saw Violet's reaction and knew that she had no idea who Rose was!
He had initially wanted to explain to Violet that he had not done anything rash within the period of him registering his marriage with her!
Those scandals were all fake.
But it seemed Violet had not taken them to heart at all. Instead, it was as if he had taken it seriously and had to explain it to her. His expression was extremely hideous. “Nothing!”
Violet suddenly came back to her senses. Realization dawned on her. “You're talking about that little celebrity, right? | know!” Violet belatedly remembered that the little celebrity who had a scandal with Patrick seemed to go by that name.
When Patrick heard her say that, his expression softened a little. His voice was stiff when he spoke. “It’s good that you know. There’s nothing between
us!”
Violet nodded. “I know, but you don’t have to explain this to me, Mr. Hersey!”
Patrick’s expression turned ugly again. “I’m not explaining to you. | just want you to know that I’m not that kind of person. She’s a friend at most!”
Patrick wanted to say that Rose was a nobody to him, but he
i
subconsciously called her a friend to see Violet's reaction.
Violet was stunned. She looked at Patrick calmly and said, “Mr. Hersey, | understand what you said. However, you don’t have to tell me about this in the future. After all, I’m not the kind of person who has double standards. | know that Gabriel doesn’t get along with you but | became friends with him. Similarly, | have no right to ask who your friends are!”
