"I got this." He grabbed Violette's slender wrist and spoke to the director, "I'll take her out first."
The chief nodded.
As they left the police station, Violette shook off his hand.
Elijah looked at her, like a hedgehog, and frowned, "Violette, even if you killed Alexa, your mom won't come back. There are many ways to get revenge, and you chose the dumbest one."
"What gives you the right to lecture me?" Violette looked at his familiar yet unfamiliar face, mocking coldly, "Just because you're the high and mighty 'Mr. Bourne'? Or because Alexa is your future mother-in-law?!"
Her tone was very harsh.
Elijah was a bit helpless and comforted her, "Violette, calm down."
"I can't calm down!" She screamed, "As soon as I close my eyes, the image of my mom's tragic death appears in my mind! What did my mom do wrong?! She did nothing wrong! Why did they have to kill her?!"
She burst into tears.
Elijah looked at her thin body and desperate grief, and hugged her tightly.
Her emotions exploded as she smelled the unique woody scent on him. Even though his cologne remained the same, he was no longer the old Elijah.
"Let go of me!" She pushed against his strong chest.
"No!" He held her tightly in his arms and explained in a hoarse voice, "You just said Alexa is my future mother-in-law, which is ridiculous! I only have one mother-in-law, and that's your mom."
Violette stopped struggling, giving up.
After carefully savoring his seemingly affectionate words, she looked at him with teary eyes and coldly asked, "Sarah got pregnant with your child. Did you have your bodyguard take her to the hospital for an abortion?"
Her questioning made him suddenly let go of her.
"Elijah, didn't you hate kids? How come you could accept Sarah's child?" She stood in front of him, questioning him, "Did Sarah threaten you again? Did you give in to her again for the sake of treating Makayla? Weren't you pretty tough in front of me? When you forced me to have an abortion, you didn't hesitate. Do you think it's okay to mess with me because I have a good temper?"
