Albina gently patted Violette's shoulder and said, "You're his daughter, of course he will look after you. When I was with him, his company was just a start-up. I didn't ask for a dime when we married, even poured in a ton of money to help him get it off the ground. If he dares to screw you over, I wouldn't let him off, even if I were a ghost."
Monday.
Violette took a cab to the Bourne Group.
This was her first time visiting Elijah's company.
The Bourne Group building towered high into the sky, imposing and majestic.
She got out of the cab and headed towards the lobby on the first floor.
"Miss, do you have an appointment?" The receptionist asked.
Violette replied, "No. Could you please contact Melinda and tell her Violette's here to see her? She'll definitely come down once she hears my name."
The receptionist gave Violette a once over, figured her dress was decent enough, and placed a call to the PR department for her.
Before long, Melinda came down.
Melinda stepped out of the elevator, walked up to Violette, and shot a haughty glance at her.
"Didn't you just have an abortion? Shouldn't you be resting?" Melinda taunted.
Violette had on light make-up today and looked rather spirited, "Melinda, after all the trouble you've gone through, did Elijah agree to marry you?"
Melinda didn't get angry. Instead, she wore a triumphant smile, "Even if he doesn't marry me, he won't be with you again. Violette, he's already been generous enough by letting you have an abortion. If I were him, I'd be even harsher."
"Oh, so you're accustomed to doing illegal things."
