Love Addiction: Doting On My Love by Wendy

Chapter 0102

Emily grappled with jealousy when she saw Violet recelve attention from Oliver, and was further shocked to find Violet with Lucius.

Lucius’s earlier remark left Patrick speechless. Emily’s curiosity was clawed at, making her uneasy. She left her father, and curiously approached Lucius and Violet.

“I need to use the restroom,” Violet sald, eventually managing to break free from Lucius’s clutches.

She dashed to the restroom without waiting for his response. She had been holding it in for a long time, and had reached her limit.

Upon exiting, she found herself blocked by Emily, who confronted her with a pressing question.

Violet gave Emily a harsh stare, and remained mute.

“What’s your relationship with Mr. Davis?” Emily demanded.

Violet, unfazed and cold, dismissed her. “Is that any of your concern?”

“I’m asking on Dad’s behalf! Mr. Davis is well–known for his power and fortune. What makes him think he’s interested in you? You aren’t his mistress, are you? You’re still a Wickham, even after Dad kicked you out. Your name is still listed in the family register. If you do something shameful,

it’ll bring dishonor to Dad and the family name.”

“Enough!” Without wanting to hear anything more, Violet interrupted her. “Don’t worry, I have nothing to do with him. I won’t be tarnishing the family reputation!”

“Are you sure?” Emily’s strained heart eventually calmed down. “You’re not lying to me?”

“Are you worth my effort to lie to?” Violet responded before walking away.

Emily finally quit bothering her. She was convinced that Lucius couldn’t have any serious interest

in Violet.

To her, Lucius’s interaction with Violet seemed nothing more than a fleeting act of kindness, akin

to walking a pet. Wealthy individuals like him often entertained numerous fleeting interests, and
