Violet spoke honestly, “I’m moving out.”

Henry’s tone was cold. “Have we been abusive to you? Wasn’t there a room for you?”

Violet pursed her l*ps, about to speak, but Veronica interrupted, “Violet, you are truly despicable. You know well enough the awful things you’ve done. Now that you’re getting into Foreverie Jewelry and suing me, you must be feeling quite pleased with yourself, right?
