Riley held her wine glass, and her body was slightly stiff.
She couldn’t believe that even in this situation, someone would come to Violet’s aid. It made her gritted her teeth in anger.
Violet could not dodge in time, thinking she was about to be splashed with red wine. However, she didn’t expect Abel to appear just in time to shield her.
She looked up and saw Abel looking at her with concern. He said, “Violet, are you alright?”
Violet shook her head and stepped out of Abel’s embrace. She glanced at his back, feeling somewhat helpless. “You’re the one who’s got splashed.”
After saying that, she turned her head. She looked at Riley with disgust and said with a cold tone, “Riley, are you out of your mind? Why would you be causing a scene like this in such an event?”
If the red wine were to be poured on herself, Violet would have endured it and let it slide.
After all, she had provoked Riley in the first place. But Riley had poured the red wine on her friend, and she was genuinely angry.
Riley was about to speak when a cold and composed voice cut in. “What’s everyone gathered here for?”
Abel saw Patrick approaching and gave him a glance. His eyes flashed briefly, but he didn’t say anything.
Riley’s eyes darted around, and she quickly spoke before Violet. “Mr. Hersey, this is what happened. Just now, I was careless and almost spilled red wine on Ms. Webb by accident. Luckily, this gentleman appeared in time and held Ms. Webb in his arms. He saved the damsel in distress! I really envy Ms. Webb’s popularity. It’s truly remarkable!”
Riley finished her sentence and raised an eyebrow at Violet, looking somewhat pleased with herself.
Others might not know, but Riley was aware that Patrick was very sensitive about Violet having any involvement with other men.
This man had rescued Violet and even held her in his arms. Many people had witnessed. it. It would be strange if Patrick were not angered.
Based on Patrick’s previous reactions in Mount Summerwood, every time he got

jealous, he would pick fights with Violet.
This situation was exactly what Riley wanted.
She smirked and waited for Patrick to give Violet the cold shoulder.

Violet heard Riley’s words but didn’t rush to explain. She just looked calmly at Patrick.
Having spent so much time with Patrick, she understood him fairly well. Patrick was possessive and didn’t like her having any ambiguous relationships with other men, nor did he like to see her get hurt.
Riley was clearly trying to drive a wedge between them, but at this moment, Violet just wanted to know how Patrick would react.
When Patrick saw Violet’s steady gaze, his eyes flickered slightly. The anger that had just risen in his heart seemed to have dissipated by 70 to 80%.
Of course, he certainly minded that Abel had publicly held Violet. However, he wasn’t blind to Riley’s crude and clumsy tactics
He stared coldly at Riley and said, neither loud nor soft, “Yes, Violet does indeed have good popularity. However, no matter how good her popularity is, it’s just friendship. Unlike you, who have taken things to the bedroom!”
Patrick gave Riley no respect at all. She turned red in the face. She was flustered and infuriated. “Patrick… you… you’ve gone too far!”
Patrick looked at her with a stern expression. He said, “You still have the nerve to say I’ve gone too far. Don’t think I don’t know that you intentionally spilled the red wine. In front of me, you’d better put away your scheming thoughts. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being polite!”
Having said that, Patrick ignored Riley. He took off his coat and draped it over Violet.
Then, he looked at Abel and said, “Dr. Fuller, thanks for earlier. I’ll have a waiter take you to change.”
Abel glanced at Patrick with a complicated expression, nodded, and turned to leave.
From then on, Patrick kept Violet by his side as if he was afraid someone would bully her at any moment.
Violet keenly noticed Robert talking with Megan on the terrace while Sophia hid behind a potted plant nearby. She sneakily watched them. Her gaze looked particularly pitiful.
Violet sighed helplessly in her heart.

Soon, it was time for the second half of the charity banquet, the charity auction.
Violet flipped through the auction booklet. Since most of the attendees were from the jewelry industry, the majority of the items up for auction were jewelry.
The auction was in full swing.
Patrick glanced at Violet and casually asked, “See if there’s anything you like?”
Violet looked a bit stunned. “Oh… it’s really not necessary!
Patrick’s tone was cold. “Didn’t you say in the morning that we would get a divorce. sooner or later? I haven’t given you a decent gift yet. Pick one!”
Violet looked troubled. There’s really no need!”
Patrick’s tone was dominant and cold. “Since you’re not picking, then I’ll just assume you want me to pick for you!”
Violet’s small face tensed up. She really didn’t mean it like that!
Patrick could tell that Violet might be feeling uncomfortable, so he looked at her with a hint of kindness and said, “You don’t need to feel too burdened. Besides, even if I buy it, it doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll give it to you!”
Hearing Patrick say this, Violet did feel a sense of relief.
But then she thought, if he didn’t give it to her, it meant it was for another woman!
For a moment, she felt jealous and uncomfortable. She cursed herself for being so foolish. She wasn’t happy when Patrick wanted to give her something, but she wasn’t happy if he didn’t either!
The auction quickly reached its final stage. Patrick did not take a fancy to any of the jewelry pieces earlier.
The last item was a queen crown, said to be worth millions of dollars. It could not only be worn but also had collectible value.
The starting bid for the queen crown was 2 million dollars.
The auctioneer on the stage smiled and said, “The auction begins now, starting at 2 million dollars. Please place your bids, and each bid must not be less than 200 thousand dollars!”
Compared to the jewelry that could be bought for just over 200 thousand dollars, this item was on a completely different level.
