Chapter 65
Before he had a chance to step down the stairs, she bolted back to her room.
Grace, already feeling choked, felt as if she was going to suffocate. But upon seeing Elijah, she felt a
lot better all of a sudden.
"Elijah...my son..." Grace extended her weak arms towards Elijah.
Elijah rushed to her side and held her. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
"Divorce Violette Dennis...do it tomorrow...get a divorce..." Tears welled up in Grace's eyes. "I'm
sorry...dear, I'm sorry...I was careless...I picked such a dirty woman for you..."
Elijah gently reached out to wipe away the tears from his mother's eyes, his voice soothing, "Mom, you
don't have to interfere in my relationship with Violette. And please, stop worrying about Kaleb as well."
"Kaleb's finger got chopped off...It must've hurt! He blames you, but I know it's not your fault...How
could you be so ruthless towards your own kin? You're not that kind of person..."
"Mom, if you bring this up again, I'll have the driver take you home right away," Elijah's face darkened,
"I'm not divorcing Violette. No one can force me unless I want to."
Grace took a desperate breath, "Are you in love with her? Is she the reason why you turned against
your brother's family?"
Elijah let go of his mother and looked at the driver, "Take my mom back to rest."
With that, he turned around and headed upstairs.
Grace watched her son's decisive back, tears streaming down her face.
He was so heartless!
It's all Violette's fault!
He wasn't like this before!
Everything started when Violette showed up and stirred up trouble between them, causing unrest in the
Bourne family.
Violette sat on the bed, leaning against the wall, her head tilted slightly upwards.
Her face hurt,
so did her heart.
The wounds on her face would heal in a few days, but the ones in her heart, never.
Even if she thought they healed, a sudden touch would still bring sadness.
At eight in the morning,
Elijah was having breakfast in the dining room.
Suddenly, he instructed Lacey, "Go call Violette."
Lacey immediately headed to the guest room.
Moments later, she hurried back to the dining room.
"Sir, Mrs. Bourne isn't in the room, she may have gone out. I'll go ask the gatekeeper." After reporting
to Elijah, Lacey strode towards the courtyard gate.
Shortly after, Lacey returned.
"Mrs. Bourne left at six this morning. Should I call her?" Lacey was a bit worried about her.
Grace's slap had not been light.
Violette seemed quiet and gentle, but she had a strong sense of self-esteem.
Lacey dialed her number, only to be met with the chilling automated response.
"The madam has turned off her phone." Lacey's voice lowered a few notches.
Violette left at six in the morning, her phone turned off.
She wouldn't be thinking of doing something stupid, would she?
While he didn't believe that a slap would push her to the brink of suicide, he recognized that people
could act impulsively when overwhelmed by emotions.
Elijah's expression was cold. He put down his coffee cup and left the dining room without saying a
word.
After hesitating in the living room for a moment, he finally picked up his phone and dialed his assistant.
"Joey, help me find the number for Violette's mother."
Joey: "Alright, I'll send it to you immediately."
After getting Albina Palmer's phone number, Elijah dialed it with a furrowed brow---
---Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later.
What's going on?
Violette and her mother both switched off their phones?!
