Speaking of it, Violet had come to understand Patrick’s temper.

If she were to ask him now, given Patrick’s personality, he definitely wouldn't tell her the reason.

Until she finished work in the evening, Violet did not receive any messages or calls from Patrick.

She thought maybe Patrick was just unhappy about her meeting with Gabriel, and there shouldn't be any major issue.

The place Gabriel had chosen was the Moonlight Pavilion. Last time, he played billiards. with Violet. However, he lost to Violet, which made him feel like he had lost half of his heart.

So, he planned to have dinner here tonight. After dinner, he could also play some billiards with Violet.

When Violet arrived, Gabriel was already in the private room.

Seeing Violet enter, Gabriel smiled and stood up. He took the initiative to pull out a chair for her.

Violet and Gabriel had been through thick and thin together, so there was no need for them to be overly polite. She went straight to ordering food.

After ordering, Violet suddenly remembered that Gabriel hadn’t attended the charity dinner.

She glanced at him. “By the way, why didn’t you come to the jewelry charity dinner a couple of days ago?”

She couldn't believe that with the Williamson family’s standing in the jewelry industry in Summerwood City, they wouldn’t have- invited Gabriel.

Gabriel raised an eyebrow dismissively. “Don’t you know? | don’t like to appear at such business occasions at the same time as Patrick. Do you understand?”

Of course, unintentional encounters with Patrick at certain places didn’t count!

Violet frowned and asked, “Why is the relationship between you two so bad?”

She used to be able to avoid thinking about this issue, but now that her relationship with Patrick was gradually changing, she couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope. The outcome between her and Patrick might not necessarily end in divorce.

If they didn’t divorce, how would Gabriel and Patrick, one a friend and one a lover, coexist without putting her in a difficult position?

Upon hearing Violet’s question, a trace of gloominess flashed across Gabriel's eyes, but he quickly smiled as if the momentary gloominess hadn't happened.

He said, “Vivi, | advise you to remain in the dark about this.”

After saying that, Gabriel noticed that Violet didn’t look too good. His eyes flickered, and he smoothly changed the topic. “By the way, Vivi, | forgot to ask earlier. Is there any progress in the Mount Summerwood mosquito repellent vaporizer murder case?” Upon hearing this, Violet shook her head. It seemed that the police department only gave some vague explanation, probably due to higher-ups’ pressure.

As for Patrick, he hadn’t mentioned it again these past few days.

Gabriel could tell from Violet’s expression that there probably hadn’t been any progress

on this case.

He furrowed his brows and asked, “Patrick hasn’t reacted either? Does he intend to let this matter go unresolved? It’s clear that the other party targeted you!”

Gabriel felt that, aside from Violet being an employee of Foreverie Jewelry, the incident had resulted in the death of a designer from Foreverie Jewelry.

Moreover, given that this incident occurred in Patrick’s territory, it was unlikely that the person involved would take any action, considering Patrick’s personality.

Violet pursed her lips. “He didn’t actually say anything, but | believe he won't let it go. It’s just that the other party is really good at hiding their tracks, so it might be hard to investigate.”

Gabriel's eyes darkened. “Alright, I'll help you look into it. If there’s any news, I'll let

know.”

you

In Violet's heart, this incident was indeed a source of concern. After all, no one liked to be in a constant state of panic.

The feeling of being watched by someone from the shadows was truly terrifying.

She nodded. “Thank you then.”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

At the View Road villa, Robert had invited many friends to celebrate Patrick’s birthday.

Patrick, the birthday boy, only arrived at eight o’clock.

Robert had originally planned to play a prank on Patrick tonight, taking advantage of his good mood on his birthday.

However, Patrick arrived alone.

As Patrick entered, Robert kept looking behind him.

But Patrick had already walked over and sat on a nearby sofa, and no one else followed him in.

Robert's expression changed slightly, and he walked over quickly, leaning in to ask in a low voice, “Where is she?”

Patrick’s face remained cold, and he asked knowingly, “Who are you talking about?”

Robert nudged Patrick with his arm twice. ‘Of course, I’m talking about Violet!”

Patrick’s voice turned even colder. “Whether she comes or not is none of my business.”

Robert looked at him incredulously. “You told me this morning that you informed her about your birthday. Did she stand you up? Knowing Patrick well, Robert knew that Patrick didn’t mind being stood up. At the moment, he was a bit concerned for these two. In response, Patrick gave him a cool look. “Who told you I’m being stood up?”

Robert frowned. “If she didn’t stand you up, what else could it be?”

Patrick’s eyes darkened, and his expression became somewhat obscure. “I just asked if she was available today, planning to bring her to the banquet later. But it turns out she already made plans with Gabriel to have dinner together.”

Robert was stunned. “So, you didn’t say anything else?”

Ahint of gloominess flashed in Patrick’s eyes. “She’s already promised someone else. Is there a need for me to say anything more?”

Robert looked at Patrick in disbelief. He was a bit exasperated. “You're 25 years old. Why are you acting like a child? Do you know what you're doing?”

Patrick lifted his eyelids and stared at him. “What?”

Robert swiftly took a photo and said with a smile, “You're obviously sulking! You’re

clearly sulking with Ms. Webb. Can’t you even realize it?”

Patrick’s tone suddenly turned cold. “You're overthinking.”

Robert shook his head, unable to help himself. “Tsk tsk, this is what men are like. They say one thing but mean another. They're already heartbroken, but they still have to act tough. Luckily, Meggy didn’t come today. Otherwise, | would have sworn to her that Violet would definitely come, and | would be lying to Meggy.”

Patrick was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. He lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something, not saying a word.

Robert's eyes flickered, and he tentatively said, “Should | remind Ms. Webb?”

Patrick’s gaze pierced through him like a sword. “No need.”

Robert shrank back. “If | do, will you kill me?”

Patrick’s gaze was as if he were looking at a dead man. His tone was devoid of emotions as he said, “I won't kill you. Just don’t claim to know me in the future.”

Robert immediately dismissed the foolish idea. It seemed he shouldn't speak recklessly.

He lowered his head and posted on Instagram, thinking that posting on Instagram couldn’t possibly be illegal.

He quickly edited the content of his post. “The birthday boy looks gloomy, not saying a word. What a headache!”

The accompanying picture was the moment when Patrick had that deathly gaze..

Just as he finished posting on Instagram, he whistled and planned to find a way to cheer up Patrick.

But when he looked up, he saw Freddie approaching.

He immediately grabbed Patrick’s arm. “Your brother's here!”

Patrick instinctively looked up toward the door.

Robert was taken aback and suddenly exclaimed, somewhat amazed, “And he’s event brought your sister-in-law!”

Patrick also saw Wendy. He remembered Freddie's previous words, saying that he didn’t actually like Wendy and their relationship wasn’t what he thought. His expression became complicated for a moment.

Robert stood up, pulling Patrick along. “Stop moping like that, or your brother will
