Chapter 283 Quentin Seems Quite Taken with Violet
After Max left the conference room, Brady took out his phone and called Violet.
The call connected, but no one answered.
Brady's eyes narrowed, a hint of anger rising within him. Violet had deliberately avoided him and resigned without warning.
Moreover, Brady had mentioned doing a paternity test. Was Violet afraid of something?
With this in mind, Brady dialed again. This time, the call didn't go through at all; Violet had blocked his number.
Brady thought to himself, 'Well done, Violet. Quite impressive.'
It was the first time Brady had encountered a woman who directly blocked his messages. His eyes turned cold, and he slammed his phone heavily on the conference table. Violet couldn't hide from him forever.
The more Violet avoided him, the more determined Brady became to find her.
Brady's anger was evident, and his assistant, Eddy, was too scared to even make a sound. When Brady was angry, the consequences were severe.
"Eddy, find out where Violet Devereux has moved. I want to know within half an hour," Brady ordered coldly.
Eddy nodded, not daring to delay. "Mr. Hall, I'll find out immediately."
Brady continued to sit in the conference room, his fingers gripping the pen from earlier. His eyes were cold, and the anger in his chest began to spread. During this time, he felt he had invested a lot in Violet. Whenever she was in trouble, he intervened promptly. He even considered giving her a house and countless things she desired if she became his girlfriend.
Brady never mistreated women who were with him. He intended to spoil Violet.
Moreover, Violet had said she would consider Brady's proposal.
But now... Brady suddenly felt like he was being played. Was Violet too young to understand the consequences of playing hide-and-seek with him?
Near noon at Ashbourne Manor.
Emily brought a lot of delicious food from her parents' place, including roast chicken, ribs, salmon, chicken soup, fried cod, and more, all specially prepared by her family's chef.
Once the food was ready, Emily packed it up and brought it over to have lunch with Violet, Hellen, and the kids.
Since Emily's parents had their own lunch engagements, they didn't usually eat at home at noon.
Seeing Emily carrying a bunch of food, Violet felt a bit embarrassed. She already felt guilty for staying at Emily's villa, and now, with Emily bringing so much food, she felt even more embarrassed.
"Emily, if you're coming over for lunch, you don't need to bring all this food. I already asked Hellen to buy groceries and cook for you," Violet said to Emily, touched and feeling a bit sour inside. "You rented your house to me, and now you're bringing so much food. I really feel guilty."
Emily didn't mind at all. Her family was wealthy, so what were a few dishes? Besides, Emily didn't like living alone in a big villa. It felt too empty and lacked vitality. She preferred living in an apartment. But now that Violet had moved in, she could come back occasionally.
"Violet, aren't we good friends?" Emily asked.
"Of course." Violet helped Emily with the food, her voice slightly choked up. "You're too good to me."
"It's normal for me to be good to you," Emily ruffled her hair and said, "Hurry and have Hellen and the kids come for lunch. I had the chef make chicken soup; it's very nourishing. You've been busy with your designs and have lost weight."
"I don't need nourishment," Violet sniffled, saying, "But you should eat more."
"No, I'm on a diet!" Emily laughed and said, "By the way, did you resign today?"
"Yes, I left my resignation letter in Mr. Green's office this morning." Violet sighed in relief. This matter was resolved. She wouldn't have to face Brady in the future or hide from him constantly.
"That's great. You can come to work at my company. We also have a design department." Emily had already thought of a position for her, a design department staff member. She was just waiting for Violet to come and work.
Violet didn't want to accept too many favors from Emily. She smiled and said, "I want to apply on my own. I don't want to trouble you too much."
"How is that a bother? We're good friends." Emily was happy to help her. Pausing for a moment, she remembered the incident where Violet was almost framed by the Devereuxs last time. "By the way, I almost forgot something while talking to you. Last time, when you were framed by the Devereuxs, although Brady saved you, I later found out that my cousin, Quentin, was also looking for you everywhere. He even went around the city searching for you."
Emily seemed to find it amusing, but it was clear that Quentin seemed quite taken with Violet.
