Chapter 12 At first , Roy didn't react . He rushed over to Violet to check on her , only letting out a breath of relief when he saw she wasn't hurt . This was the woman his boss cared about most . If anything had happened to her today , not one of them would be able to walk away unscathed . Violet had been startled , sure - but not surprised . She'd always known her father and mother didn't like her . She just didn't expect them to make that so clear the moment she walked through the door . Roy stepped forward , about to speak , but Violet raised a hand to stop him . " I'll go in 1/6 Chapter 12 + 5 Points myself . Just wait here at the door . " She carefully stepped around the shards on the floor and walked into the living room . Inside , the couple sat on the main seats . Ruby and Gabriel were off to the side . Ever since Violet had appeared , Gabriel's eyes hadn't left her . Ruby noticed it . Her fists clenched tightly , and the way she looked at Violet carried a flash of hatred . "Dad . Mom ," Violet greeted politely , standing off to the side . Alexander's face reddened . " You still have the nerve to call me Dad ? You've brought nothing but shame to this family ! " Gabriel already told us - you've been gone these past few days . Where did you go ? 2/6 Chapter 12 + 5 Points " Violet , you're already a married woman . You should be acting like a wife . But look at you ! What have you been doing all day ? " And bringing that whole group of bodyguards back home - what is this , a coup ? " The more he spoke , the angrier he got . Ruby quickly stepped in , pretending to soothe him . " Dad , don't be upset . Vivi has always been like this . You should be used to it by now ." Violet almost laughed . Of course . Ruby was always good at putting on a show . She made it look like she was calming things down - but every word just added fuel to the fire . Outside , Roy couldn't hold back anymore . This was the woman his 3/6 Chapter 12 + 5 Points s boss cherished most . How could she be humiliated like this ? Maybe it was the time he'd spent with Xavier , but Roy had picked up a certain presence himself . He walked into the room , step by step , his voice firm when he spoke . " Sir , Ma'am , those bodyguards outside were carrying gifts . Gifts from Ma'am Violet , for the both of you . She's always been deeply respectful toward her parents . I hope you can take a moment to really see her for who she is . " Roy was in his fifties - around the same age as Stand and Isabella . Alexander's expression faltered slightly . He glanced at Roy , eyes narrowing . " And who 4/6 + 5 Points onderle bi ระ 1 ? " rede Roy could respond , Ruby jumped at ance to pin a label on him . is this the kind of person you've been dgste ing around with while you were gone ?! Syour younger sister , I really shouldn't ddle - but Money is your husband . Don't bisu think this is a bit much ? " SMm speak 6Woy jolted at her words and quickly defended 976imself . "Ma'am Ruby , please don't s 39 carelessly . I'm just a driver . " But the disdain in Ruby's eyes deepened . " Vivi , you must really be starving - if even this kind of man is good enough for you . " This one looks like he's the same age as Dad . If you really wanted someone else , couldn't you have found someone younger ? 5/6 Chapter 12 + 5 Points He could practically be our father . " Gabriel had been sitting silently the whole time , but in his mind , he'd already decided- Violet had an affair . From the moment she walked in , no one had even let her speak . They were too busy declaring her guilty . She had still been holding out hope for this family when she came here . But now ? That hope was gone . She looked calmly at her father , her voice tinged with irony . " Dad , is it that no matter what I do , I'm always wrong in your eyes ? " If you've always hated me this much - why did you ever acknowledge me as your daughter in the first place ? " 6/6
