Chapter 2

Violet clenched her teeth tightly, her palms almost bleeding from her sharp fingernails. But she resolutely turned around and walked back to the adjacent suite.

God knew how much she wanted to rush in and tear apart this despicable man and woman! But her last shred of sanity told her she couldn’t do that. She knew she couldn’t act impulsively, especially since she had been working as a designer at Russell’s Oceanen Jewelry. Not only had he cheated on Violet with her step–sister, but he had also betrayed Violet’s trust and used Violet as a steppingstone for Veronica.

Violet knew she couldn’t let go of the dual hatred in love and career so easily. She wanted revenge. She wanted to take back everything that belonged to her and send these two wretches straight to hell, making them pay double:

As for her father, she had to find a way to deal with him. She couldn’t act on impulse, which might ruin her uncle’s company.

The next morning, Violet woke up with dark circles around her eyes. She heard Russell and Veronica leave their room, and she followed them out.

Violet followed them all the way to the local city hall, and then coldly smiled as she got out of the car and took a picture of them holding hands as they entered the city hall.

Just as the two of them entered the city hall, Violet called Russell.

“Russell, where are you?” she said as soon as the call connected, activating the recording function.

“Um… I… I had some urgent matters at the company and left early in the morning. I didn’t have time to tell you!”

A faint sneer flashed across Violet’s face as she said, “Oh, really? I thought you were having a secret meeting with your lover or something.”

Russell’s voice sounded stiff, and he awkwardly laughed. “How could that be? You’re the one I love the most, Violet. By the way, I forgot to tell you, can you give Veronica the latest jewelry design draft you drew?”
