Love Addiction: Doting On My Love

Chapter 126

Chapter 0126

Lucius believed her words were sincere; he believed that she cared about him, but rejected him

because she was seeking lifelong love.

Yet, when he witnessed her deep concern for Oliver, her vulnerability, and the tears that she shed when

Oliver walked away, it left him feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Violet was emotionally distressed and too drained to face Lucius. His piercing gaze was too much for

her. Without a word, she quickly entered the elevator and left the building.

Instead of heading straight home, she wandered aimlessly on the street.

It was nothing surprising for Lucius to be at such a place, but why would someone as dignified as

Oliver be there?

Her hotel was atop the Elysium Club, a place Oliver, with his knowledge, would surely know the

nature of.

Furthermore, it seemed Oliver was aware of her being auctioned. But who had informed him?

She grew suspicious of these, but couldn’t arrive at any conclusion.

Since then, Lucius hadn’t been in contact, and his whereabouts were a mystery to Violet.

Her life had resumed its quiet rhythm. There was no Lucius or Oliver, just herself.

She tried to track down the individual who had framed her, but the HR manager’s phone was now

disconnected. On visiting the industrial park, she learned there was no such factory.

Convinced of her deception, she chose not to report it to the police since she assumed it would

certainly involve Lucius. She didn’t want to embarrass him by bringing him to the police station.

Subsequently, her focus shifted to Job hunting, Eventually, her persistence paid off, and she

landed a job.

The company was medium–sized, but the role was a good fit for her as a designer.

This was a great opportunity for Violet. She was ecstatic to begin her new work.

“Are you sure I can start tomorrow?”

She checked in with the HR manager several times, fearful that something bad would happen. because

of her previous experiences.

“Don’t worry, you can definitely start tomorrow,” the HR manager promised her.

Only then did she depart the company building, anxious yet hopeful.

Outside, a sleek, understated black luxurious car drove past.

Inside, Lucius sat with a cold, detached expression.

George strained to take a breath. His employer’s aura was overpowering, and being in such a terrible

mood made even breathing difficult for the butler.

George uncomfortably glanced outside. “Huh?”

Lucius initially ignored George, treating him as if he were invisible. However, he abruptly reacted,

What?”

George coughed a little before answering. “I think I just saw Ms. Violet.”

His boss scoffed bitterly, his face contemptuous, as if Violet didn’t matter to him at all. But if she

didn’t matter, why was he so depressed? This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

George rubbed his nose, unable to express his displeasure and suppressing his resentment. He had

resigned to his fate, and needed to endure this.

The car had driven quite a distance when Lucius asked, “Where did Violet come from?”

George truthfully answered, “From an office building.”

“An office building?” Lucius echoed, then fell silent.

George, ever astute, recognized that to have some good days ahead, he needed to improve relations

between Violet and Lucius. He promptly dispatched someone to investigate Violet’s

current circumstances.

“Got nothing better to do?” Lucius questioned, casting a murderous glance his way.

Surprised, George’s phone nearly fell from his grasp. He accidentally turned on the loudspeaker when

his subordinate reported it to him.

“I’ve just learned that Ms. Violet went to the city’s business center to seek employment. There’s a

design firm on the twenty–fifth floor, and the HR manager has just agreed to her starting tomorrow. The

company, Vermell Studio, offers a typical monthly salary of around 5,000 dollars.”

Lucius’s brow furrowed even more in response to the news.

So Violet was eager to leave him for a mere 5,000 job? This woman had no foresight at all.

“It seems you’re also considering a job that pays 5,000 a month.” Lucius commented sarcastically.

George quickly ended the call. He wondered if his employer understood the real reason behind his

actions.

Seeing Lucius so agitated, the butler shook his head. Some situations, he realized, required

patience.

Later that night, Lucius was in his study. George entered the study to serve him tea, finding

Lucius in the middle of a video conference.

On the screen, various senior executives seemed visibly distressed.

“Vermeil Studio is relatively unknown and operates in a field completely unrelated to ours. Master

Lucius, this decision of yours…”

“I have decided, and I’m just informing you,” Lucius stated, implying that no one else had a voice

in the matter.

The expressions of the shareholders and executives varied, reflecting their dissatisfaction. Yet none

dared to voice opposition, knowing well that Lucius controlled the entire conglomerate.

His word was final.

They started to pack their things, and departed when he said so.

Despite their confusion, they trusted Lucius’s judgment. Everyone in attendance agreed that he would

not strike a losing deal.

George sighed and shook his head slightly. This time, it appeared that Master Lucius was determined

to make a bad deal.

After the meeting, Lucius emerged from the study, looking restless and agitated. He paced in the hall,

and was clearly dissatisfied with everyone around him.
