Chapter 257 Brady Officially Announced That Violet Is His Girlfriend
As the evening deepened, the darkness outside contrasted sharply with the warm, inviting glow emanating from the living room of the Devereux mansion.Lilian had just returned home when Eileen, with a tender smile, offered her a refreshing glass of juice. "You must be tired, Lilian. Have some juice," she said.
Lilian took a sip, her gaze inadvertently falling on a photograph of a man on the table. Her delicate brows furrowed in confusion. 'Isn't this Ethan, the disabled man? Could it be that grandmother has already arranged a marriage for Violet?' she wondered.With her curiosity piqued, Lilian turned towards Anna, who was comfortably nestled on the sofa, savoring her coffee. Setting her juice aside, she rushed over, her voice laced with curiosity, "Grandma, is this the man you've introduced to Violet?" Anna, her lips curling into a sinister smile, affectionately ruffled Lilian's hair. "Indeed, my dear. She's been far too arrogant, don't you think? It's high time she learned a lesson," she replied.The confirmation seemed to validate Lilian's suspicions. If Violet were to marry Ethan, she would stand no chance with Brady. A devious gleam sparked in Lilian's eyes at the thought."Grandma, when is the wedding?" she inquired, her voice trembling with anticipation. She couldn't wait for Violet to be wedded to Ethan. Rumors of the Stephond family's strictness were well-known, and any misstep would undoubtedly result in severe punishment. The prospect of Violet being tormented daily filled Lilian with a perverse sense of satisfaction."The day after tomorrow," Anna revealed, her voice indulgent. "The Stephond family mentioned it yesterday. Violet and Ethan can go to get their marriage certificate."The news was unexpected. Lilian pondered, 'What if Violet refuses?'Voicing her concern, Lilian asked, "Grandma, what if Violet doesn't agree? I hope she marries into the family soon, or she might snatch Brady away from me.""Don't worry, my dear. I have a plan to make her give in," Anna said confidently.Intrigued, Lilian pressed further, "What plan?" Her large, innocent eyes were fixed on Anna.Before Anna could respond, Eileen interjected, "Lilian, you'll find out in due time. Don't concern yourself with it. Leave it to your grandmother and me.""Alright," Lilian conceded."Lilian, why don't you freshen up and join us for dinner later?" Eileen suggested.Lilian nodded in agreement and ascended the stairs to freshen up.Meanwhile, in the mansion's basement, Violet, who had been unconscious, finally stirred awake after more than an hour. Despite her lingering dizziness, she persisted in prying open the wooden board. If she managed to escape this time, she resolved to alert the authorities. She had no intention of showing mercy any longer.The Devereux family had never truly accepted her as one of their own, so she saw no reason to extend them any leniency. Battling a throbbing headache, Violet painstakingly used her fingernails to pry open the sealed wooden board.Blood seeped from her fingertips, but she bore the pain stoically. She had to escape.
As Violet struggled for her freedom, Brady made his way to the Devereux mansion. It was his first time seeking Violet at the mansion. His arrival was tantamount to a public declaration that Violet was his girlfriend.
