Chapter 29

Russell spun around in a fit of rage. “Are you looking for trouble? Who the hell wants to die…”

He turned his head and was met with Patrick’s expressionless face, causing his words to catch in his throat.

Violet, upon spotting Patrick, immediately seemed a bit flustered. “What are you doing here?”

Patrick glanced casually at Violet and replied tersely, “Having lunch.”

With that, he shrugged off Russell’s hand, retrieved a handkerchief from his suit pocket, and slowly wiped his fingers as though they were tainted by something filthy.

Russell’s face changed.

Violet’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch slightly.

After tossing the handkerchief into the trash, Patrick subconsciously positioned himself in front of Violet. He nonchalantly raised an eyebrow at Russell. “How did you find out about my marriage to Violet?”

He was just there for lunch, and he happened to notice that Russell had been bothering Violet. Russell had menacingly threatened to reveal his marriage to Violet.

Patrick found it utterly absurd. When had his marital status become a weapon for Russell to threaten Violet?

Russell glanced at Patrick, his bravado waning. “Veronica told me.”

Patrick’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “Then do you believe that you can threaten. me with that too?”

Russell flinched, his gaze locked on Patrick, but he remained silent.
