The competition was called “Find the Voice.” It was very influential and had been held successfully
multiple
times. Each time, it lasted for several months, and the media covered it extensively.
She tried to look it up using the laptop on the table, but the connection was lost after she typed just a
few
words.
There was a knock on the door, and a servant came in carrying her lunch.
*Are there any newspapers? Preferably the latest ones,” she asked as she gave up on using the
laptop.
“You would have to ask Mr. George for that,” the servant replied courteously but distantly. All the
servants she
had met during her stay had acted in that manner.
Shortly after the servant left, George personally came to deliver a few newspapers to her. “Ms. Agatha,
you must ask Master Lucius for permission if you want to use the internet. Master Lucius would be
angry if he
discovered that you tried to use the laptop like you did today.”
George knew that she wanted to use the internet?
Violet was very surprised.
“Tools that are used for communication with the outside world, including the internet, phones, or
electronic devices, are all monitored. Ms. Agatha, please stop disobeying Master Lucius if you want to
live comfortably.”
That was a kind reminder from George.
Violet did not say anything, but she was upset. She would have accepted the punishment if she were
really Agatha, but that was not the case!
After setting down the newspapers, George walked out and left her by herself. Since she was not in the
mood for lunch, she picked up one newspaper and read it carefully.
Suddenly, a picture came into view, and it took her by surprise. Violet stopped rifling through the paper
for a second, and she kept staring at the picture.
In the picture was Oliver, and he looked as gentle as ever. He wore a white suit and thin gold-rimmed
glasses. He was handsome and appeared like a true prince charming.
He was holding Emity in his arms.
They both had happy smiles on their faces and made a good pair.
Even through the newspaper, the sweetness of their love was apparent.
Violet felt a searing pain in her heart. It spread to her whole body and drained the color from her face.
She was in a daze for a long while, and suddenly, the door was pushed open. She snapped out of her
trance and stared blankly at the person by the door with tears still gathering at the corners of her eyes.
Lucius did a quick scan of her face, and his gaze landed on the newspaper in front of her. Her finger
was still

The corner of his lips twitched, and he coldly asked, “Are you attracted to him?”
Violet did not answer. She had always been attracted to Oliver.
“Am I too lenient on you? So much so that you have time to think about seducing other men?”
Violet finally snapped out of her sadness and instinctively hid the newspaper behind her back. “I didn’t
do
anything!”
In Lucius’s eyes, it meant that she wanted to do all the bad things possible. His face fell, and he took a
few steps forward to grab her chin.
He yanked her face up, and he gripped her chin so tightly that it was twisted out of shape. She started
crying
even more because of the pain.
“Do you want to sleep with him?”
With force, he took the newspaper from her and held it up to his face. He narrowed his eyes at Oliver’s
picture.
He was dangerous and cruel.
Despite her stubbornness, she was scared of his cold presence to the point where she shivered and
was
unable to speak.
“Whoosh!”
He threw the newspaper on the floor. In the next instant, he grabbed her waist and dragged her onto
the bed.
He pinned her down, as if he wanted to crush her. He was so dominating that she could hardly breathe.
She was extremely terrified.
Violet closed her eyes.
Although she was afraid of him, she knew he would not really do it with her, so she allowed him to rip
off her clothes without resisting.
She was supposed to explain herself, but she bit her lip and kept silent. It was none of his business.
Lucius had nothing to do with who she loved or did not love.
But that was not what Lucius thought. He felt an unexplained anger bubbling inside him when he saw
her looking at Oliver. Violet was nothing more than a sl*t to him. She dared to openly express interest in
other men in his territory! He needed to teach her a proper lesson.
All he wanted to do was punish her. But his throat went dry, and his anger flared when he saw her
slender body and how she was not putting up any resistance. He started to be rough with her.
“Ah!”
Pain and disbelief hit her at the same time. Violet would never have imagined that the man, who
insisted on not touching her, wanted to punish her in that way. The close proximity between them at
that time made her feel extremely humiliated, and she struggled to get up.
