Her face lit up with an even brighter smile, something that most people would find hard to achieve.
This woman has a lower IQ than Rita than Rita. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Violette Dennis started to lose her prejudice and resentment towards her.
Even if this woman was loved by Elijah Bourne, it couldn't hide her pitiful self.
After dinner.
Ian took the initiative to approach Violette
"Mum."
Violette looked at her son, her tone calm, " Do you want to explain something to me?"
Ian nodded, his eyes showing an unusual sympathy, "She's really pitiful."
“Pitiful.”
That word took Violette back to the night she broke up with Elijah.
She was heartbroken, all because of this woman who meddled in her relationship with Elijah.
But she didn't plan to tell her son about this.
"well, she is indeed pitiful," Violette answered, "You want me to help her get treatment, but I can't
promise you that."
Ian raised his head, "Why?"
"Her condition can only possibly be cured by surgery. And any surgery carries the risk of death. I can't
do the operation for her Without her family's consent," Violette explained rationally.
Ian wanted to help Makayla Bourne greatly , but his mother's words made more sense.
"Ian, do you know what her name is?" Violette asked curiously.
Ian shook his head, then walked to Makayla and asked, "What's your name?"
Makayla thought for a while before she saying, "Makayla."
"Makayla! Sleep with me tonight!" Rita said excitedly after learning her name.
Makayla nodded without hesitation.

Meanwhile, at the police station.
Since his sister was missing, Elijah didn't eat or drink from noon to night.
"Mr. Bourne, the person you're looking for might've been taken away by someone else," the police
officer guessed, "We've checked all the road surveillance near Angela International Institute, but we
didn't see her. If she got lost by herself, she would've been wandering on the streets."
Elijah's eyes were red-rimmed, his voice hoarse, "I can't let anything happen to her! I must find her!"
"You can put out a missing person notice throughout the city. As long as the reward is high enough,
you'll be able to find her quickly."
Now, this was the only way.
...
Eight o'clock at night.
The colorful neon lights illuminated the city, contrasting with the stars in the sky.
Elijah left the police station, radiating a cold aura, and got into his black Rolls-Royce.
The driver asked, "Boss, where are we going ?"
"Home."
As the car started, his phone rang.
He picked up the call.
"Elijah, Violette gave you $100 million!" Brandon Fleming's voice came through, "The money has
arrived! This huge cash flow has not made the Boss look smile!"
"What $100 million?" Elijah frowned, not understanding what he was talking about.
Why would Violette give him $100 million?
"The Dennis Group building! The contract was signed today!" Brandon said, then suddenly changed
the subject, "Where are you now? You don't seem very happy? What's wrong?"
"Why $100 million?" Elijah asked angrily, "Didn't we agree on $50 million?"
"Violette said the market price is $60 million, she didn't want you to lose out, so she gave you $100
million," Brandon laughed, "Elijah, who would've thought, you could even make money with your
handsome face!"
Elijah hung up the call, found Violette's number and dialed it.
Whether in the past or now, she was always the best at making him angry!
Seeing his call, Violette's heart beat faster her hand gripping the phone feeling hot.
In the past ten hours, he must've been very anxious and restless. Should she tell him that Makayla was
with her?
