Chapter 249 She Won't Let Her Go to Paris
Violet disconnected the call with Gerry, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts. Swiftly, she sent a message to Emily, asking her to be her companion at the Devereux family's gathering that evening.
Emily, a scion of a wealthy New York family, had no reason to fear the Devereuxs.Violet harbored no faith in Anna's newfound sincerity. For years, Anna had harbored nothing but disdain for Violet and her mother. How could she suddenly alter her stance, particularly after Violet had doused her with water during their last encounter? Anna was known for her arrogance, and Violet was certain that she hadn't truly forgiven her for the past incident.While Violet remained skeptical of Anna's supposed change of heart, she decided to attend the gathering, with the intention of discussing the inheritance matter. Quentin alone wouldn't suffice to gather the necessary evidence. Violet ruminated on the situation as she awaited Emily's response. Once it arrived, she redirected her attention to designing Grace's coat.In the meantime, Max found himself in a state of restlessness in his office. He was determined to confess his feelings to Violet. Only then could he whisk her away to Paris for the fashion show and brand collaboration, an opportunity for their relationship to evolve beyond their professional roles.
With nerves fluttering, Max took out a crystal necklace worth around a thousand dollars and rehearsed his confession.His thoughts were interrupted when Laura knocked on his office door. Upon entering, she found Max on one knee, a velvet box containing the necklace in his hand, rehearsing, "Violet, will you be my girlfriend? I promise to make you happy."A pang of jealousy pierced Laura's heart. Her fingers clenched the documents she held as she watched Max rehearse his confession.Wordlessly, she exited his office and made her way to the design area. Her gaze landed on Violet, her fingers clenching the documents until they were on the verge of crumpling. 'Why does Max have to be smitten with Violet?' she thought, 'I'll destroy whatever he cherishes!'Laura's eyes, brimming with jealousy and resentment, lingered on Violet before she finally left. She was determined to prevent Violet from being with Max. 'You think you'll go to Paris together? Don't delude yourself,' she thought.She would never allow Violet the opportunity to go to Paris. If she couldn't have Max, she wouldn't allow Violet to have him either.Meanwhile, in a villa in New York, Leana awoke with a throbbing headache, feeling as if she had been submerged in hot water all night. She rubbed her cheeks in an attempt to clear her head before rising to freshen up.Her assistant, who had arrived to escort her to a magazine cover shoot, entered her bedroom and inquired, "Are you feeling better? You drank quite a bit last night, and I was worried you wouldn't wake up.""I'm feeling a bit better," Leana replied as she washed her face. "You have a cover shoot for a high-end magazine this afternoon. You should prepare yourself," the assistant advised.Leana, feeling a distinct lack of enthusiasm, splashed water on her face and dried it with a towel, saying, "I don't remember much from last night."
The assistant felt relieved that Leana didn't remember, especially considering how close she came to offending Brady and Violet.
