Chapter 557
As dawn broke, Makayla tiptoed into Violette’s room, whispering a soft farewell, “Violette, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself and when you're healed, promise me you'll come back home, okay?”
Makayla whispered and quickly left the room to avoid waking her up. Violette opened her eyes to an empty room, feeling a profound sense of loss.
At 8:00 in the morning, a Gulfstream G650 private jet took off from the capital airport of B Country with its destination being the capital airport of A Country.

Adrian went back with them.
“Mr. Bourne, thank you for bringing us home," Mary thanked Elijah sincerely. “No problem," Elijah replied.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“Well, we better get going.” Mary said.
Elijah cleared his throat, hesitated briefly and said, “Mary, you can't blame Violette for Adrian's injuries. She didn’t even tell me that she was Dr. Mitchel's last student. Adrian was kidnapped because he used to be Dr. Mitchel's assistant, not because of Violette.”
Mary was taken aback. Once Elijah had said his piece, he left in large strides.
“Mom, what did you say to Violette?” Adrian asked, his face serious as he sat in his wheelchair. “Violette is also a victim. How could you blame her?”
Mary’s eyes reddened, “I'm sorry, son. | was just so upset. You had such a bright future ahead of you, and now it's all ruined. If you hadn't met Violette, none of this would have happened.”
Adrian retorted sharply, “Mom! Didn't you hear what Elijah just said? It has nothing to do with Violette.”
Mary insisted, “How can it have nothing to do with her? If Dr. Mitchel hadn't made her his student, none of this would have happened.”
Adrian responded, “So being excellent is a mistake now? If that's the case, | might as well be a nobody for the rest of my life.”

“Elijah returned alone, but Violette is still in B country.” Alexa shared the latest scoop with Sarah, “And Elijah went straight to work after returning. | suspect there's trouble in paradise.”
“That doesn't make sense. Elijah invested billions for Violette.” Sarah expressed disbelief, “Could it be that he dumped Violette?”
“Regardless of who dumped who, Elijah's billions are now down the drain.” Alexa rejoiced in their misfortune, “Violette certainly can't pay him back.”
Sarah responded sarcastically, “Elijah is a very chauvinistic man, even if they broke up, he wouldn't ask Violette for the money back.”
Alexa speculated, “Billions isn't a small amount for Elijah. He may want to ask her back, but he just might be too embarrassed to do so.”
Sarah raised her eyebrows, “What's your plan?” Alexa flashed a mysterious smile, leaned in close and whispered her plan. At Bourne Group,
After arriving at the office, Elijah worked tirelessly to clear up the backlog of work. He didn't even have a chance to grab a drink before rushing off to a lunch meeting with a client.
