Chapter 8 Reclaiming Her Mother's Inheritance
As soon as Violet stepped through the door, her two babies wobbled over to hug her.
Violet scooped up Henry and Nicole and rubbed her face against theirs. Her babies were just too adorable.
"Hellen, I pumped a bag of milk. Please heat it for Nikki and Hanky tonight. I have to stay late at work and won't be back until much later," Violet said, holding her babies' hands.
"Why are you working overtime on your first day?" Hellen asked, concerned.
"No choice. I'm new." Violet pulled a bag of milk from her bag and handed it to Hellen.
Hellen promptly put it in the fridge.
"Oh, Violet, we need to find a lawyer for your mother's inheritance," she continued.
"I know." Violet sighed. "But good lawyers are expensive, and I'm afraid the Devereux family might bribe them."
The only solution they could think of was to find a trustworthy lawyer who couldn't be bought off by the Devereux family to reclaim her mother's inheritance.
As for the rest, Violet would figure it out later.
"I'll ask my friends for help." Although Hellen didn't have much power now, she still had connections from when the Patton family was well off.
"Alright." Violet nodded, then picked up her babies to feed them.
The little ones ate happily, and Violet's eyes shone with contentment as she held them.
While Violet fed the babies, Hellen heated the food in the kitchen. When she returned, she asked, "Violet, will you be back for dinner?"
"No, it's too time-consuming to come back and forth. I don't want to spend all night at JK." Violet wanted to come home to her babies.
"Okay then," Hellen agreed gently.
Hellen, who had never married or had children, had now taken Violet as her daughter.
She couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow thinking about Violet's mother. If the Patton family hadn't fallen, the Devereux family wouldn't have tormented Violet's mother to death. And now, Violet had been ruined by her wicked stepmother, Eileen.
Just thinking about it made Hellen's heart ache.
But at least Violet had survived and had these two little angels, Henry and Nicole.
Violet finished feeding the babies and placed them on the sofa before joining Hellen at the table for a quick meal. She needed to replenish her strength.
As Violet tried to eat, Henry clung to her leg, pleading with his newly learned words, "Mama, Mama."
Hearing her baby call her "Mama" made Violet's heart melt.
Nicole also started calling out, "Mama."
Violet picked them up and took them to the table. The two little ones clung to her adorably. But suddenly, Laura called, asking her to fetch the designs from her desk and deliver them to a high-end restaurant's coffee lounge where she was meeting a client.
Laura always had impeccable timing, interrupting Violet's meals.
"Hellen, I need to go back to the office. Please take care of the babies." Violet kissed each baby on the forehead and hurried out.
...
At 1:30 PM, in a high-end restaurant's coffee lounge, Aiden, dressed in an expensive limited edition casual outfit, lounged idly, waiting for Brady.
Aiden had an average appearance but radiated a shrewd, calculating aura.
Brady, usually too busy to bother with Aiden, had made an exception since Aiden was trying to acquire a piece of land he was interested in. Brady had to see what Aiden was up to.
Aiden had drunk half a cup of coffee by the time Brady arrived in a sharp suit.
Brady's striking looks and tall, athletic build turned every female head in the lounge.
Women whispered and swooned, unable to take their eyes off him.
"Look at that man! He's so handsome and commanding!"
"His body is amazing! He must have an eight-pack! He's the ultimate dream man!"
"I want to ask for his number."
Not far from Brady, Laura, there with a client, couldn't help but steal glances at him.
Her client, Mrs. Wilson, rolled her eyes and snapped, "Ms. Murphy, are we going to discuss the designs or not?"
Laura quickly composed herself. "Of course, Mrs. Wilson. My apologies. My assistant will be here soon with the designs."
As she spoke, she texted Violet urgently.
Laura: [Violet, where are you? Why aren't you here yet? Are you slacking off on your first day? Do you want to get fired?]
Violet immediately replied: [I'm on my way!]
