Chapter 106
"Mr. Bourne, please hold on," the Marcia family bodyguard stopped Elijah.
Elijah said sternly, "I have to go in! My wife is inside."
The Marcia family bodyguard said, "You mean Ms. Dennis? She went mountain climbing with Mr.
Marcia."
Elijah’s lips tightened, and the coldness in his eyes grew stronger.
The Marcia family bodyguard pointed to a nearby peak, "They went up from there. But it’s already dark,
and the road up the mountain is quite steep. You’re not familiar with the mountain path, so I suggest
you wait in the banquet hall. They’ll be back soon."
Elijah’s fingers clenched slightly, and he strode towards the mountain path.
...
Reception room.
Violette couldn’t sit still after listening to Derek’s father talk about his entrepreneurial history and his
views on the Dennis Group for two hours.
"Uncle, thank you for sharing so much with me. Happy birthday to you. As for work, I’ll discuss it
privately with Derek."
If it wasn’t for the fact that it was his birthday, Violette might not have been able to sit for so long.
"Dad, take a break. I’ll take Violette to eat," Derek looked at the time and spoke to his father.
As they left the reception room, Violette looked at the darkening sky and felt a touch of sadness in her
heart.
Maybe because it was her first time here, she felt unfamiliar and uneasy everywhere.
"Derek, I won’t accept your investment." Violette mustered up the courage to tell him her answer.
Derek stopped suddenly, his face losing its composure, "Why? Can you give me a clear reason?"
Violette didn’t mince words, "Because you’re Melinda’s brother. So I won’t accept your investment."
"Did Elijah say something to you? Are you planning to accept Elijah’s investment?" Derek was not
surprised by her answer, but he was heartbroken.
"I won’t accept his investment," Violette said calmly and decisively, "Derek, I took a bullet train this
afternoon, and now I need to catch a train back, so I won’t stay for the dinner."
She came today just to tell him her answer face to face.
Now that she had told him, she could leave.
Derek didn’t expect her to be so heartless.
Her way of doing things was strikingly similar to Elijah’s.
Was this the reason they attracted each other?
Derek grabbed her arm, trying to keep her, "Eat first, then go. Since Elijah is here today, let him take
you home. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease."
Violette pulled her arm back, "I called a car in advance. The driver should be here by now."
Derek insisted, "Eat first, then go! Even if we can’t work together, we don’t need to make our
relationship so stiff! Violette, we’re not enemies!"
Violette took a deep breath.
She didn’t want to break up with Derek.
They couldn’t be friends, but she also didn’t want to make another enemy. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Derek took her to the banquet hall and arranged a seat for her. After that, Melinda walked towards
them with a cold face!
She went up to Derek, grabbed his arm, and dragged him out!
Violette watched the Marcia family siblings leave and suddenly lost her appetite.
Melinda’s face was gloomy and cold just now.
It was as if something had happened!
Violette looked around uneasily.
Besides her, the other guests didn’t notice the Marcia family siblings’ abnormal behavior.
Derek said earlier that Elijah was here, but she hadn’t seen him.
...
Melinda dragged Derek out of the banquet hall.
"Where’s Elijah?! Where did he go?!"
