My Wife Is An All-Around Expert by Elton Joe

Chapter 148

Violet turned around in surprise to look at Patrick. “Mr. Hersey, is there something else?”

Listening to her calm tone, Patrick’s mood plummeted.

He knew very well that Violet’s formal thanks were merely because he had helped her.

At this thought, he suddenly froze. Did he want something more than just her gratitude?

Patrick’s face instantly darkened, and he felt like he had lost his mind.

Patrick kept a steady gaze. Then, he asked, “Do you want to find your biological parents?”

-Violet pressed her lips together and shook her head. She replied, “Not for – now. They abandoned me

back then, and who knows if they even want me to come back into their lives.”

Patrick’s expression remained stoic. “Understood. You may leave.”

As soon as Violet returned to the design department, Sophia approached her. “Violet, a client is looking

for you for a custom jewelry design. She’s in the meeting room right now!”

Violet nodded and composed herself. Bring the contract and my notebook. I’ll go over right now.”

Sophia nodded and hurried to get the items.

Violet entered the meeting room and greeted a lady with a smile. “Hello! Are you here to discuss the

custom jewelry design with me?”

The lady smiled back. “I’m here on behalf of my boss.”

Violet raised an eyebrow. “So, it’s not you who wants the custom jewelry?”

The lady shook her head. “No, our boss is very busy. I’m here only to represent him and sign the

contract with you, Ms. Webb. As for the

12:58 Mon,

Chapter 148

specifics of the jewelry customization, our boss will personally discuss it with you.”

Violet’s eyes gleamed. “Your boss decided to have me design for him without even seeing my work?”

The lady chuckled and replied, “As I mentioned, he came here based on your reputation. He had seen

the jewelry custom-designed by you before and was very impressed!”



At that moment, Sophia came in with the contract and notebook.

Violet somehow felt that something was off. The lady mentioned a rough price, paid a deposit, and

quickly signed the contract.

Even after they left, Violet still couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right.

After she finished work, she received an unfamiliar phone call.

“Miss Webb!”

“May I ask, who is this?”

“Just this afternoon, I had my assistant sign a contract for custom jewelry with you, Miss Webb. It

seems you are a busy person and tend to forget things easily.” The voice on the other end sounded

calm, with a touch of gentleness.

Violet immediately responded calmly, “I apologize. I didn’t know it was you. Are you calling to discuss

the custom jewelry?”

The voice on the other end chuckled and replied, “Yes, I’m quite busy. I have a meeting with a client at

Elysium Bar tonight. Miss Webb, if you don’t mind, we can discuss the requirements for the custom

jewelry there. I’ll also treat you to a drink. How about that?”

Violet furrowed her brows. She said, “We don’t have a precedent for discussing business in a bar.”

The voice on the other end turned slightly stern. “Miss Webb, are you suggesting you won’t honor the

agreement? Are you intending to breach.

Chapter 148

the contract?”

Suddenly, Violet remembered that when the lady signed the contract in the afternoon. The lady

deliberately chose a contract with the highest. deposit ratio, and the designer would take the most

responsibility in case. of a breach.

Violet’s expression turned unpleasant. She finally understood what had felt off in the afternoon.

This contract seemed like a trap set specifically for her. “I have no intention of breaching the contract.”

Of course, Violet could breach it. But if the matter escalated, the company would have to step in. She

already owed Patrick a favor and didn’t want him to intervene further because of her.

“In that case, I’ll be waiting for you at Elysium Bar, Miss Webb. By the way, I forgot to introduce myself

earlier. My name is Gerald Olson.” The voice on the other end said before promptly hanging up, leaving

Violet no room to respond.

Violet furrowed her brows. After careful consideration, she decided to go and meet Gerald. She figured

she could avoid the drinks at that bar.

She was curious about who this Gerald was and what his intentions might

be.

After returning to Hersey Court, Violet changed into casual attire, packed. a canister of pepper spray in

her bag, and swapped her shoes for a pair of sleek flats. Then she set off for Elysium Bar.

Honestly, she looked more prepared for a fight than a business meeting..

When Violet arrived at the bar, it was already dark. The entrance of the bar was very lively.

Upon entering the Elysium Bar, someone immediately approached her. and escorted her to Gerald’s

private room.

Consequently, Violet didn’t notice a dimly lit corner of the bar where a

Chapter 14

pair of malicious eyes were fixed on her, unwaveri entered Gerald’s private room.

Once the door to the private room closed, Eleanor finally withdrew her gaze. She smirked, downed the

coc k tail in her glass, and got up to leave.

Gerald wasn’t one to be trifled with, and Violet was about to find out.

Eleanor was determined to let Violet know how powerful she was!

Since Patrick hadn’t attended Eleanor’s birthday party last night, she had ” become the subject of

ridicule.

She only found out today that Patrick’s absence was all because of Violet, that wretched woman.

In that case, she did not need to be polite to Violet anymore.

Speaking of which, it was Eleanor who arranged for Gerald to approach. Violet for the custom jewelry.

She subtly hinted to Gerald that Violet had an exceptional relationship. with Patrick. If they could

somehow cause trouble for Violet, it would get under Patrick’s skin.



Eleanor knew working with Gerald was like making a deal with the devil.

However, she couldn’t tolerate the grudge in her heart.

Gerald might not be able to do anything to Patrick, but he wouldn’t hold back against a mere designer.

As long as Violet paid some price, Eleanor could handle the risk.

The only thing Eleanor didn’t anticipate was how quickly Gerald acted.

Thinking about what would happen tonight, Eleanor smiled with a sinister and ruthless gleam in her

eyes.

Inside the private room, Violet saw a group of men and women engaged in lively antics and laughter.

Violet’s expression turned unpleasant. She turned to leave.
