Chapter 350 She Would Turn Against Him If She Knew
By around 6:30, Mansion No. 2 was already aglow with bright lights.
Brady stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, one hand in his pocket, talking on the phone with someone. Violet approached with a dress in hand, careful not to interrupt his call, and slipped into the small bedroom to change. When she reemerged, she was already in the dress.
Brady had finished his call and was now leaning against the sofa, waiting for Violet.
His eyes gazed deeply at Violet's beautiful and delicate appearance. The dress suited her perfectly.
Under the gentle light of the crystal chandelier, the pale halo of light draped over Violet's exposed fair shoulders like a veil, accentuating the elegance of her long neck.
Her golden hair cascaded casually over her shoulders, and her makeup was so light it was almost nonexistent. But Violet was naturally beautiful, and her fresh face was even more attractive than one meticulously made up.
Brady's eyes lingered on Violet, as if trying to see through her.
Earlier, Brady had discussed the custody issue with Taylor. He was confident he could secure custody of the two children, but the downside was that it would offend Violet.
Brady was indeed interested in Violet at the moment, but he had no intention of marrying her.
So if he really took the children, Violet would definitely turn against him, and Brady didn't want her to leave just yet.
If he grew tired of her in the future and they broke up, he would give Violet a sum of money and property, ensuring she wouldn't be left wanting.
But he would not give the children to Violet.
Brady pondered in silence. Violet walked over, a bit nervous, and said, "I'm ready."
Brady glanced at Violet, snapping back to reality. He smiled faintly, reached out, and gently stroked her cheek, saying, "Why haven't you been disguising yourself as ugly lately?" he asked with a hint of amusement.
At this, Violet's ears inexplicably reddened. She had been so busy with the fashion show that she had forgotten to keep up her unattractive disguise to push Brady away.
Violet coughed lightly and said, "If I went to the yacht party looking ugly, you wouldn't allow it, would you?"
"Mm." Brady smirked and said, "Violet, you're becoming obedient now."
"I still need your help in the future!" Violet didn't immediately bring up asking Brady for help against the Devereux family, instead brushing it off casually.
Helping Violet was a small matter for Brady. As long as she stayed by his side obediently for the time being, he was willing to help. "That depends on your performance. If I'm satisfied, I'll help you with anything."
"Mm." Violet nodded obediently.
"Let's go." Brady took Violet's soft hand, momentarily suppressing his thoughts about the children.
If Violet knew he wanted to take the children from her, she would immediately turn against him.
So Brady planned to bring it up to Violet much later.

Meanwhile, at the Devereux family residence.
Lilian was well aware that tonight's yacht party would be attended by various high society figures and socialites, and she naturally wouldn't miss such a gathering.
She meticulously dressed up in her bedroom, changing into a bright dress and grabbing a pearl handbag.
She twirled in front of the mirror, ensuring everything was perfect before heading downstairs to drive to the yacht party's meeting point.
On the way to the yacht party, Lilian called Oliver, asking him to attend the party as well, knowing that Violet would definitely be there.
Her plan was sinister: if Oliver could secretly defile Violet on the yacht, he wouldn't need to find another opportunity to kidnap her to his countryside villa.
By then, everyone in high society would know that Violet had been defiled by Oliver, and Brady wouldn't want her anymore.
