She looked pale but still managed a smile, "So what do you want to hear from me? That 'Yes, I was once a lover Noah Bates kept' would make you feel better?"
She had never spoken to him with such a sharp tone before. Recently, as they interacted, Violet Don always looked at him with dependent eyes. Hazel Forest understood that she saw someone else through him, and her dependency was also because he bore the shadow of her brother. Still, her attitude had always been gentle, never as acute as now.
It took Hazel Forest a long time before he said, "Go back to work."
Covering her face with her hands, Violet laughed, "I feel like I really owe everyone an apology. Because of me, Noah decided to reject the sponsorship."
That was an outright admission.
Hazel Forest slightly frowned, "You really do have something to do with Noah."
Violet muttered dispiritedly, "Yes, I not only have a relationship with him but between him and me, it's a matter of life and death."
It seemed quite intense.
