My Wife Is An All-Around Expert by Elton Joe

Chapter 20

Patrick spoke and then turned with Violet in his arms. “Nelson, let’s go.”

He walked away carrying Violet, paying no attention to Henry behind him.

Henry’s face had turned deathly pale, and he could barely stand. Patrick’s sudden intrusion had already shocked him, and Patrick’s words had left him reeling. “Did I hear him correctly? What did he say?”

Elaine’s face was equally grim, her voice bitter. She clearly did not want to believe what she had just heard. “He said Violet is his wife, but when did that happen? Why weren’t we informed?”

Henry regretted it deeply. If he had known about this earlier, he would not have made such a mistake. He closed his eyes in deep sorrow. “No wonder.”

Now he understood why Foreverie Jewelry was so supportive of Violet. He had truly made a grave error, offending someone he should never have crossed. He did not know how Patrick would retaliate.

Elaine was seething with anger. “Violet is becoming more and more rebellious. For such a major event like her marriage, she didn’t even notify us. Does she even consider you her father anymore?”

Henry, filled with anger and frustration, slapped Elaine. “Stop talking! It’s all your bad ideas!”

“Can you really blame me alone? You agreed to this plan too. Besides, if we’re pointing fingers, you bear a lot of responsibility for this mess. If you hadn’t given her to her mom when she was little, would she
