Chapter 174
Brandon grabbed his arm and guided him towards the emergency exit.
"Elijah, you still care about Violette, so why are you doing stuff we can't wrap our heads around? This
Makayla chick, no matter how hot she is, you really think she can hold a candle to Violette?" Brandon
tried to get Elijah to snap out of it. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
"There's no one more important than Makayla!" Elijah answered seriously.
"Is that why Violette chose to divorce you?" Brandon questioned him.
"Yes."
"Well then, what did Violette do wrong? What reason do you have to be upset? You're the one who
messed up!" Brandon rarely spoke so bluntly with him. "As a friend, I'm not gonna fight with you over
your relationship issues, I just don't wanna..."
"You can leave me too, like Violette!" Elijah cut him off. "My personal business is none of your
concern!"
Brandon took a deep breath. He figured if Elijah wanted to be stubborn, then let him regret it later!
Violette might be single now, but that didn't mean she'll be single forever.
When the day came that Violette married another man, he hoped Elijah can live with himself!
When Violette got home, it was already 10 pm.
She opened the door to the kids' room, and Rita looked up at her right away.
"Sweetie, why are you still awake?" Violette walked over to the bed and gently stroked her daughter's
head.
"Mom! Today, I played with a drone outside with my brother, it was so fun!" Rita excitedly said. "Uncle
Mike sent it to us."
"Mhm, Mommy knows. It's really late now, baby, you should go to sleep."
Rita pouted, "Mommy, I was waiting for you to come home and tuck me in."
Violette immediately kissed her daughter's cheek. "Goodnight, baby!"
"Mom, you've been drinking!" Rita touched her cheek with her little hand.
Violette slapped herself on the forehead, slightly regretful. "Sorry, sweetie, Mommy forgot. I'll go get a
towel to wipe it off."
Rita giggled innocently, "No need, Mom! You smell nice even when you've been drinking!"
Violette thought her daughter was just too cute!
She grabbed a wet towel from the bathroom and wiped her daughter's cheek.
Once Rita was asleep, she quietly left the room.
Back in the master bedroom, she called Mike.
"I've been waiting for your call! Why are you only calling me now?" Mike complained on the other end
of the line.
"I had some stuff to do today, just got home." Violette put the phone on the bed and switched to
speakerphone, then went to the closet to get her pajamas. "Is the drone you sent a new product you
guys developed?"
"Yes! It's amazing! It has incredible battery life and sensing capabilities, it's like a robot." Mike excitedly
said. "Once it's launched in A Country, it'll definitely dominate the tech market!"
Violette frowned, "I haven't even finished setting up the team here yet! I'll hurry up."
"I know you've been busy with your divorce."
"I'm already divorced. Are you secretly teaching Ian hacking skills? I've caught him sneaking on the
computer many times. Don't lead my son down the wrong path!"
"I only taught him because he's interested! I didn't even charge him tuition, how can you blame me?"
"I don't wanna discuss this anymore. I'm exhausted today." Violette hung up and went to the bathroom
with her pajamas.
At 1 am in the hospital room, Elijah got his hands on the surveillance footage from Mercy Hospital
yesterday morning.
Turned out, the 'maintenance check' was just an excuse.
After getting the footage, he started watching.
He really wanted to know who brought Makayla to the hospital.
Even if the person didn't want his 2 million dollar reward, he should at least remember their name.
If they ever needed help, he'd definitely lend a hand.
Around 3 am, his eyes were sore and swollen, feeling exhausted.
The coffee in his cup was gone, but there was still an hour of footage left.
He decided to finish watching the rest before getting some rest.
Rubbing his forehead, he looked back at the screen, where a
familiar figure suddenly appeared!
In the crowded surveillance footage, he instantly recognized Violette!
