Chapter 85
Ramsey had an epiphany, "What should we do then? Should we have Elijah beg her?"
Joey: "I'll check on them after work."
Ramsey: "Maybe I can get my girlfriend to talk to Violette?"
Joey: "Who's your girlfriend?"
Ramsey cleared his throat: "A good friend of Violette... she's the one who told Violette about it. I really...
I would have dumped her last night if it wasn't for my feelings for her!"
Joey sighed: "You sure know how to pick 'em!"
Ramsey: "I feel like I'm being toyed with by them. How could I know they were so crafty."
Joey: "Guess I can't share anything with you anymore. You're not one of us now."
Ramsey felt wronged: "Joey, I'll stick to my principles! Elijah is my bottom line."
By evening.
Brandon and Joey came to the Bourne family to visit Elijah.
"The boss came home at 5 am... The bodyguard said he stayed over at his mother-in-law's. He passed
out around 4 am, that's when they brought him back," Lacey said. "He's in his room now, he had a
fever in the afternoon, it broke, but now it's back."
Brandon and Joey were speechless.
When has Elijah ever been so pathetic? To think he stayed out all night for Violette!
"I remember it was pouring last night!" Brandon furrowed his brows.
Joey: "The rain was especially heavy after midnight. The artificial lake in my neighborhood even
overflowed."
Brandon: "With such heavy rain, even the strongest body can't hold up!"
Joey looked at Lacey: "Where's Violette? She didn't come back?"
Lacey shook her head in dismay: "I called her, but she didn't answer. She usually picks up when I call.
Their fight must have been really bad this time."
At that moment, the doctor came downstairs.
Brandon asked, "Doctor, how's Elijah doing?"
Doctor: "The fever won't break. If it continues like this, he'll definitely get pneumonia, I'm afraid it's
already spread to his lungs. I suggested he go to the hospital, but he refuses."
"How can this be?" Lacey was frantic. "I'll call Mrs. Bourne. The boss won't listen to anyone else, but Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
he'll listen to her."
Brandon walked out, looking worried.
Joey followed, "What if Violette doesn't answer?"
Brandon: "I'll go find her."
Joey: "Do you know where she is?"
Brandon: "She should be with Derek. He seemed pretty smug in his tweet earlier."
Joey: "You go then, I'll stay here. If all else fails, I'll have to force him to the hospital."
Brandon nodded.
Fusion Flavours is one of the oldest restaurants in A City, with an average cost per person of a big sum
of money.
Violette didn't want to come, but after being persuaded by several company executives for half an hour,
she finally agreed.
While their persuasion played a role in her decision, it wasn't the sole factor. Violette also considered
her mother's well-being, not wanting her to experience any negative emotions as a result of the
situation.
Derek poured her a glass of juice and handed it to her.
However, she chose to drink water instead. She took a sip of water from the glass.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open—
Melinda, with a cold face, appeared in everyone's sight.
She walked confidently towards Violette.
"Violette, do you enjoy having two men chase after you?" Melinda said through gritted teeth, quickly
grabbed a glass of water from the table, and threw it at Violette's face.
