Chapter 1042 Only Lucien Can Handle His Kind of High-Knowledge Rogue
Violet stayed with Emily in the bedroom for over an hour before heading back downstairs.
She figured Austin would have taken the property and left by now.
But to her surprise, Austin was still there, and he had even managed to make Douglas feel guilty.
Impressive.
Violet furrowed her delicate brows, looking at this despicable man with disdain. He was worse than any man she had ever met—manipulative and clingy. He had completely tarnished the reputation of a university professor.
Violet coldly averted her gaze, greeted Douglas briefly, and then walked out of the Hart Villa.
As she stepped out, the sunlight around 3 PM was softer than the midday sun. Golden rays filtered through the air, casting a warm glow on the concrete ground, making the dull gray concrete shimmer with a golden hue.
Violet descended the villa steps, calling the Hall family driver to come pick her up as she walked. After making the call, she walked to the iron gate to wait.
Austin followed her out, unhurried. Seeing Violet, he put on a serious face and said, "Mrs. Hall, I'm sorry for upsetting Emily. Is she okay?"
If Violet didn't know his true nature, she might have answered him. But knowing who he really was, she had no intention of being polite.
"Mr. Roberts, you know very well how she is. Why pretend to be a good guy?"
Austin was taken aback, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Violet's cold face. His jaw tightened slightly, but he didn't care about her sarcasm. He still spoke warmly, "Mrs. Hall, I know she doesn't want to see me right now. That's okay, I'll win her back."
"I don't mind if she and Lucien..." Before he could finish, Violet, unable to control her anger, slapped him. "Mr. Roberts, they are innocent. Stop slandering her. And don't bother her anymore. She won't get back with you."
Austin's face turned to the side from the slap. He was momentarily stunned, his eyes showing a hint of coldness, though he hid it well.
Violet was Brady's wife. He couldn't afford to offend her.
Turning back, his expression remained warm, without a trace of anger from being slapped. He said gently, "That's not certain. I'll win her over with my sincerity."
Win her over? More like harass her!
For the first time, Violet was furious, gritting her teeth as she spat out, "Win her over? Fine, since we're here, Emily won't be attending your class anymore. I'll help her drop it. You can handle the paperwork."
Austin remained unmoved. "Sorry, Mrs. Hall, she has to do it in person."
Violet was speechless. But she would find a way to deal with it.
"No problem, I'll speak to your principal myself," Violet said, just as the Hall family driver arrived. She walked over briskly, opened the car door, and got in. Then she slammed the door shut.
As the driver started the car, Violet leaned back in the seat, fuming. How could Austin's actions make her angrier than any bad man she had encountered herself?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, especially knowing Austin had taken a valuable property and was still harassing Emily. It was infuriating!
Violet took a deep breath, pulled out her phone, and texted Lucien. Right now, it seemed only a man like Lucien could handle a highly educated scoundrel like Austin.
