The bodyguard saw her coming downstairs and immediately went to report to Elijah.
Elijah got up from his couch and looked towards the staircase.
Violette was wearing his bathrobe, with the hem just brushing the floor and the sleeves a bit too long.
The oversized robe wrapped her slender body, making her look like a kid in adult clothes.
He frowned, “wasn't she supposed to be on an IV drip? Why did she come downstairs?”
"Elijah, you've been hiding a real beauty here!" Someone spotted Violette and teased him.
"He's a normal man, it'd be weird if he didn't have women around, haha!"
"Is this girl some rich missy or someone you picked up for fun?"
Elijah ignored everyone's questions because Violette was walking towards them.
Didn't she want to die? Why was she willing to see his friends?
What was she up to?!
He strode towards her and blocked her way.
He glared down at her, "Did you pull out the needle again?!"
She pushed him on the chest, "You're throwing a party here, can't I come and see the fun?"
See the fun?!
Hmph!
If she wanted to see the fun, he would give her a show!
He stepped aside.
Her gaze naturally fell on the barbecue grill!
Her eyes turned cold instantly! Her ankles weakened, her body trembled violently, and she took two steps back!
Tonight's barbecue feast was that giant snake that scared her out of her wits!
She still remembered its terrifying appearance when it opened its mouth, but now it was gutted and roasting over the fire!
Seeing her scared out of her wits, he grabbed her wrist and led her towards the couch.
"Since you're here, let's taste it together!" His voice was low and magnetic.
It sounded like he was talking about something very normal.
Her heart was pounding wildly!
