Chapter 4

Violet scowled as she pondered hard.

However, she could not think of any explanation for this.

She started crying and felt absolutely hopeless and pitiful.

She shuddered again whenever she thought of Lucius’s cold expression and murderous gaze.

There was no way she would sit and wait for her death!

She looked at her luggage, which had been rummaged through and left in disarray. Her phone was still there!

On instinct, she quickly dialed a familiar number.

“Hey. Oliver here.” Oliver Young, the person she loved, picked up the call very quickly.

Violet quickly straightened up excitedly and said, “Oliver, save me! I’ve been—”

“Save you? It’s your sister who needs to be saved now. Your cruelty took away her voice, and you’ve ruined her future!”

She was harshly interrupted as Oliver accused her. He sounded distant, angry, and unlike himself.

“I didn’t do it!” she explained.

“Stop giving excuses. I just want you to repent. I thought having you stay away for a few days would give you a chance to contemplate what you’ve done, but I was wrong. You’ve let me down.”

His words made her heart fall into despair. She held the phone tightly and tried to withstand the pain in her chest as she begged, “Please, save me. If you do, I can explain everything. But if you don’t, it’s over for me.”

Unfortunately, Oliver did not hear those words. He had already hung up. That effectively destroyed her life.

She stared at her phone blankly and could not fathom how heartless Oliver was toward her. She was heartbroken. She wanted to cry badly, but she could not muster a single tear.

Of course, Emily’s voice was more important than her life.

Frankly, she saw it coming.

There was just no way to make Oliver love her, was there? She took care of him in the hospital for one whole year, yet he did not show her much attention at all. He only ever had eyes for Emily. Emily took a sip of Violet’s water, and her voice became ruined. Due to that, Oliver got all mad and did not even bother to hear her out!

Violet rubbed her eyes. She realized that she did not have the time to feel sad. She looked at the phone and wanted to dial another number.

Suddenly, someone opened the door. Thinking it might be Lucius coming back, she got startled and flung her phone. She looked extremely pale.

An old man in his sixties entered the room. He had greyish-white hair and shrewd eyes. He glanced at the phone on the floor and said, “Madam, I suggest you don’t do anything that would make Master Lucius even angrier.”

He looked much kinder than Lucius. While upset, she quickly approached him. “Can you let me go? I’m really not Agatha. He can’t see it, but you can. I look completely different from her, right?”

“Master Lucius’s words are absolute.”

Violet felt baffled when she heard this.

“How could you...” Something clicked in her mind. “Are you guys a gang of human traffickers?

The old man laughed. “Madam, did you forget what your husband’s family does for a living? Imperial Enterprises might operate in legal business and work with underground organizations, but we don’t break the law.”

Imperial Enterprises?

Wasn’t it the corporation that ranked first in the world in market value? It was also the one where its leader kept a low profile and practically never showed up, wasn’t it?

Even Violet, someone who did not have much knowledge of the market industry, knew about Imperial Enterprises. It was legendary for having nearly gone bankrupt to being ranked first in the world in merely four years. It became an example and a goal for countless aspiring entrepreneurs.

She could not believe it. She somehow ended up as the wife of the owner of Imperial Enterprises.
