Chapter 610
Joey quickly figured out why Elijah was upset and immediately explained, “Violette didn't want Rita to enter showbiz. It was Rita who begged and pleaded, determined to experience it. You know how adorable Rita is. Few can resist her."
“Rita's just a kid, but Violette was an adult. A mother should guide and supervise her child, not indulge her!” Elijah argued sternly.
Joey defended, “If Rita came begging to you, would you really have the heart to reject her?”
Elijah's face darkened immediately. “Whether I can or not is beside the point, I see your loyalties are wavering!”
Joey hurriedly showed his loyalty. “Not at all. I'm just trying to empathize with Violette. If Rita came begging me, I'd certainly give in. After all, she's so adorable. I've never met a more charming little girl.”
Joey's flattery instantly calmed Elijah. He knew how adorable Rita was, after all, she resembled Violette.
Violette often angered him, but he never had the heart to truly punish her. He would be even softer if she were to shrink down, transforming into Rita.
“It must be that smooth-talker Kylee's doing!” Elijah furrowed his brow, analyzing. “If he hadn't approached Rita, she wouldn't have done this.”
Joey nodded. “Indeed, Kylee played a nasty trick! He didn't discuss it with Violette because he knew she wouldn't agree. After all, Violette is not short on cash, she wouldn't let Rita expose herself in showbiz. Kylee went directly to Rita, catching Violette off guard!”
Elijah's grip tightened, and a chill flashed in his eyes. Afraid of his impulsiveness, Joey reminded Elijah, “Boss, you just publicly vowed not to target Kylee a few days ago, so... don’t make a fool of yourself again.”
Although it was a bit too much for Kylee to bring Rita into showbiz, Joey felt that Kylee would surely take good care of Rita.
Elijah picked up his glass of water, swallowing a mouthful and forcefully suppressing his rage.
“Violette went to B Country to send Ian off to summer camp. I heard she'll be back in a couple of days,” Joey continued, “Violette was worried that Ian might not adjust to the camp, so she escorted him.”
Elijah looked up. “Did she take any bodyguards?”
“She did,” Joey replied. “She's familiar with B Country and has many friends there. She should be alright.”
Elijah remarked, “You forgot about her previous kidnapping incident?”
Joey awkwardly suggested, “Do you want to make a trip there?”
“You said she'll be back in a few days, right?” Elijah's eyes slightly lowered.
It wasn't that he wasn't worried about her, but they just had a quarrel. If he chased after her to B Country now, it would seem rather humiliating.
“Yeah. If you don't want to go to B Country, you could go to Lake Mesa... for an inspection. Rita's reality show is being filmed at Lake Mesa.” Joey tactfully saved Elijah’s pride.
Elijah pondered for a moment but didn't make a decision right away.
In B Country.
After Violette and Ian got off the plane, Ian was picked up by the summer camp's shuttle. The camp activities were fully enclosed. Violette couldn't accompany him and had to wait for the teacher's feedback tonight or tomorrow.
“Boss, I'll take you home to rest,” The bodyguard offered to Violette. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Violette had slept for a few hours on the plane and wasn't tired. “Not now. I'm going to meet a friend first.” Violette took out her phone, found her friend's number, and dialed it.
After their conversation, they agreed to meet at a local diner.
