Violet spoke honestly, “I’m moving out.”

Henry’s tone was cold. “Have we been abusive to you? Wasn’t there a room for you?”

Violet pursed her l*ps, about to speak, but Veronica interrupted, “Violet, you are truly despicable. You know well enough the awful things you’ve done. Now that you’re getting into Foreverie Jewelry and suing me, you must be feeling quite pleased with yourself, right? You may be pretending to be pitiable in front of our father, but I know you’re secretly thrilled about it.”

Veronica’s gaze was as though she wanted to devour Violet. If Henry was not present, she might have already lunged at her.

Veronica, with red eyes, shot a venomous look at Violet but remained silent.

Violet began to reply, but Henry interrupted her sharply. “Why are you so unwilling to have dinner with me? I know Veronica copied your designs, but that wasn’t my doing. Why are you angry with me?” Violet looked up at Henry and asked, “If I have dinner, will you let me leave, Dad?” Henry looked at her and replied, “Of course. I mean,
