When did he ever pressure her to repay the money?! It was her. She was doing this to herself.
"Do you think I asked her for money?" His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
Joey quickly shook his head: "I know you wouldn't ask her for money. But you could persuade her to stop repaying it."
"Do you think she would listen to me?" His tone was laced with irony, "Why do you think she would listen to me?!"
Joey was taken aback.
"Did Mike send you to tell me this?" Elijah's Adam's apple bobbed as he frowned tightly.
Joey shook his head: "He knew it would be pointless to talk to you. But I think even if it's pointless for you to say anything, at least you've made your stance clear. If she doesn't listen and something happens later on, she can't blame you."
"I get it. You can leave."
Elijah wasn't afraid of being blamed; he was just worried about her health.
After Joey left, he picked up his phone and called Violette. The call went through, but no one answered. After the system automatically hung up, he put down his phone.
He felt like a puppet on strings, and she was holding them. She was driving him crazy.
He reached for his coffee mug, only to find it empty. He called his secretary, and moments later, there was a knock on his office door.
