Chapter 29 A Perfect Match? Chapter 29 A Perfect Match? The moment Wayne pushed the door open, he stole the room's focus. Victor's eyes twitched, seeing Violet beside him. He thought, "Am I imagining things? They look... perfect together." Tony's inner fangirl screamed, "Told you they've got something going on!" Wayne was grinning like a fool! When had he ever been this sweet to them? Wayne settled into the head seat, unhurried. "Sorry for the wait. Just saw Ms. Miller outside, chatting with her boyfriend." Violet's face flushed crimson. Boyfriend? What was Wayne blabbering about? Victor blinked, then got it. Oh, "W" was her ex! Tony smirked knowingly, thinking Wayne was playing coy. After a brief awkward pause, they dove into the contract signing. Wayne looked at Victor, his voice cool. "I heard there's been some internal squabbling at your firm. So, we've added a clause: this case's legal team is Victor's team only. You good with that?" Victor was over the moon. This was Wayne handpicking him-nobody else could muscle in! Even his cool-headed self couldn't hide the excitement. "Of course, absolutely." Wayne's brow lifted slightly. "No issues? Sign away, then." He leaned down, signing his name with a flourish. Violet watched him, all business and sharp, so different from the relaxed guy outside. She wondered, "What's he like with a girlfriend?" The thought shocked her. "How dare I gossip about an elder like that?" She thought. Wayne finished signing, catching her spaced out look, a hint of fondness in his smile. Tony, spotting it, gasped inwardly. See? His boss was smitten! With the contract signed, Tony glanced at his watch. "It's eleven-lunchtime. Mr. Braxton, I booked a room at the Prestige Club. Shall we grab a bite?" Wayne nodded. "Tm free. Up to Mr. Gray and Ms. Miller." Victor grinned. "I'm good, but Ms. Miller's got a hearing at two thirty." Tony sighed dramatically. "That's a shame. Mr. Gray, you come with us." Wayne glanced at his phone casually, "Actually, I've got something at noon. Mr. Hart, take care of Mr. Gray. I'm out." Tony was excited. Confirmed! It was real! 14:53 Left Me Hanging at the City Hall? I Married Your Uncle Chapter 29 A Perfect Match? He gave Violet a deep look, memorizing her face and name, Victor, disappointed, said, "Violet, go handle your stuff." Violet smiled, bidding everyone goodbye. Stepping out of Braxton Group's tower, she exhaled deeply. Survived. Her phone rang again, and seeing the familiar name, her eyes lit up. Violet! My flight lands at seven tonight. Pick me up, babe?" Violet replied with a smile, "No way, Rose! You're finally back?" You bet. My bestie's tying the knot this month! Oh, where's the marriage license pic with my cousin? You didn't send it!" Rose Braxton, the Braxtons' second daughter, was a true heiress, unlike Luna. hough her father passed early, she was Byron's favorite granddaughter. hree months ago, after a breakup, Rose jetted off to "heal her heart" with a world tour. o Violet hadn't told her about calling off the engagement with Gavin.

Jolet's smile faded. "No, I called it off. I'm tired of chasing." But..." Rose hesitated. "The wedding's so close." Yup. Better to regret now than after." Violet, screw it! Plenty of fish in the sea. Ditch him! Tonight, I'm taking you out to see the world!" Violet chuckled "Cool, I'll pick you up. Gotta go-court at two." She grabbed a quick bite al a convenience store and headed back to the firm. Sean leaned in, excited. "We got 117 Violet flashed an OK sign. "Nailed it." Their team was ecstatic, but Leo's side was stormy. "Keep it low-key till Victor's back," Violet warned. 14:53 Left Me Hanging at the City Hall? I Married Your Uncle Chapter 29 A Perfect Match? Sean and Lily weren't braggarts-unless pushed, they didn't bite back. Violet grabbed her files and headed to court at one. By the time the hearing wrapped, it was four. Her phone rang-Sylas. She cut it off. He never called with good news. Sylas: [Wedding's in days. Try on your dress tomorrow!] Violet sneered at the message. How many times did she have to say it? She was done with Gavin! At the airport, Rose strutted out in a spicy tank top and shorts, shivering as she hit the chilly'air. Spotting Violet at the pickup area, she rushed over, hugging her tight. "Violet, babe, I missed you!" Violet patted her bare back. "Alright, alright, I know you missed me. Just back from Hawaii? It's windy tonight-put this on before you catch a cold!" Rose giggled, taking the jacket and planting a big kiss on Violet's cheek. "You're the best, always looking out for me." Violet faked a grimace, wiping off the "slobber." "Enough, enough. Hungry? I drove-let's grab food!" Rose slipped on the coat, flashing a sly grin. "No food. We're hitting somewhere else. I said I'd show you the world!" When Violet found herself in a thumping bar, Rose pointed to a lineup of male escorts. "Babe, what do you think? Like any?" Violet was stunned. Good girl her whole life, heart glued to Gavin-she'd never been to a "pick-a-man" scene like this. "Rose, this isn't... too much?" Rose waved grandly. "Not into the buff ones? Fine, how about that twenty-year-old college guy on the right?" Violet hesitated, then nodded. "Him, I guess." In the second floor VIP room, Wayne lounged on the sofa, half distracted, swirling a glass of whiskey with his long fingers. His gaze drifted through the floor to ceiling glass, down to the pulsing dance floor below, lost in thought. "Hey, since when do you have something on your mind?" Wayne's friend, Harry Hector, chuckled, his tone teasing. Wayne shot him a lazy glance. "Not as much as you, Harry" "Damn it!" Harry cursed under his breath, glaring at his phone. Wayne's cool eyes flicked up. "What's up?" Harry gritted his teeth. "Torget, the drink. Your niece is downstairs picking up male escorts! And your nephew's fiancée is with her. Rose, you're toast!" Wayne's gaze darkened, his voice low. "Who else is there?" 14:52 23.89 Chapter 29 A Perfect Match? "That unfavored Miller girl-the one set to marry Gavin by the end of the month." In a flash, Harry blinked, and Wayne was gone-already vaulting over the railing to the first floor below. What the hell?! معهد (0) (0) the City Hall? I Married Your Uncle 24.0%
