After Daniel and the other man had left, Scarlett and Claire helped Violet to her feet and guided her out of the restaurant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once their car had pulled away, two figures emerged from the shadows near the valet stand- Daniel and the man who had tried to take Violet with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the cool autumn night, they lit cigarettes, the flames briefly illuminating their faces.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel glanced at the man and said with a smirk, \u201cWhat a shame. You missed out on some fun tonight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man ignored the comment, instead gazing in the direction Scarlett\u2019s car had disappeared. \u201cSo that\u2019s the woman standing in my sister\u2019s way?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel raised an eyebrow. \u201cThat\u2019s her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man was Caleb Monroe, Sabrina\u2019s biological brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In business, Daniel had helped Caleb before\u2013partly out of his own affection for Sabrina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over time, they had grown closer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing Daniel\u2019s confirmation, a flicker of surprise crossed Caleb\u2019s eyes. \u201cI have to say, she\u2019s got some nerve. And she\u2019s not bad\u2013looking either\u2013almost as striking as Violet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel thought for a moment before replying, \u201cShe\u2019s definitely attractive. The problem is her stubbornness\u2013she just won\u2019t give Vincent a divorce.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Caleb chuckled. \u201cA man like Vincent is rare. Once you\u2019ve latched onto him, of course you wouldn\u2019t want to let go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as he said it, he realized his words could apply to more than just Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He fell silent for a moment, then his expression turned cold. \u201cBut she ruined my fun tonight and is stealing my sister\u2019s future. She\u2019s bringing trouble on herself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel took a couple of drags from his cigarette before responding casually, \u201cI didn\u2019t hear a word of what you just said.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His meaning was clear\u2013he was giving Caleb implicit permission to act as he pleased.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the way back to Theron Manor, Claire was driving while Scarlett sat in the back with Violet\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n

head resting on her lap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Throughout the journey, Violet tossed restlessly, muttering fragments of conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Lennox, Lennox Group has always processed transactions through our financial platform. All these years, there haven\u2019t been any issues. Our technology is mature. Please, you mustn\u2019t terminate our cooperation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Lennox, you flatter me. I have a husband. I\u2019m a married woman. I\u2019m not qualified to warm your bed\u2013I\u2019m not even fit to shine your shoes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Monroe, I don\u2019t know how I\u2019ve offended you. Please tell me directly so I can correct my mistakes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
From Violet\u2019s ramblings, Scarlett pieced together what had happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Theron family was in the financial services industry. Partnerships with major corporations were essential for substantial revenue and the company\u2019s survival.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Daniel, who had long cooperated with their company, had suddenly withdrawn his business, plunging the financial firm into crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To resolve the issue, Violet had gone to meet Daniel in person.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett was sure Violet had humbled herself, but she also knew Daniel\u2019s earlier claims were\u00a0<\/p>\n
fabricated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Violet had sacrificed so much for this family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had gone to that meeting alone, disregarding her own safety, all for the sake of a slim\u00a0<\/p>\n
chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thinking of this, Scarlett\u2019s eyes\u00a0<\/p>\n
welled up\u00a0<\/p>\n
with tears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After getting Violet back to her room, Scarlett stayed by her side, caring for her without leaving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wiped her hands, cleaned her up, changed her clothes\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Violet vomited twice before finally settling into a deep sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett kept vigil in the room. It was well past midnight when Violet gradually woke up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first thing Violet did upon waking was frantically feel her own body.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Realizing her clothes had been changed, she slapped herself hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing the sound, Scarlett quickly grabbed her hand. \u201cViolet, no! It was me who changed your\u00a0<\/p>\n

clothes. You\u2019re safe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing Scarlett\u2019s voice, Violet\u2019s panic slowly subsided.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett hugged her tightly, feeling Violet\u2019s body tremble. \u201cWhy would you do something so foolish?\u201d she whispered soothingly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Violet said, \u201cI see your brother working himself to the bone, not even sleeping, all for the company. I just wanted to help him in some small way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tears streamed down Scarlett\u2019s face. \u201cHaving someone as good as you in our family is a blessing for all of us,\u201d she said, her voice choked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Violet was still dejected. \u201cIt\u2019s just a pity I couldn\u2019t actually help. I almost\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett gently patted her back. \u201cWhat matters is that you\u2019re safe. Nothing else is important. There are ways to live whether we\u2019re rich or poor. As long as our family stays together, we can overcome any difficulty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Violet was comforted, but thinking of Nathan, she anxiously warned Scarlett, \u201cNo matter what, your brother must never find out about what happened tonight. With his temper, he would never let it go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett understood the gravity of the situation and promised Violet she wouldn\u2019t tell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
