My Wife Is An All-Around Expert

Chapter 9 After completing these tasks, Violet saw Patrick come out of the shower,

He was wearing a towel around his waist, his upper b*dy bare, showcasing his strong physique and well-defined eight-pack abs. He had the kind of b*dy that looked good in clothes and even better without them.

Violet noticed the water droplets on his abs sliding down his stomach and disappearing into the towel. Blushing, she quickly averted her gaze, unable to look at him any longer.

Patrick approached and stood beside her. “Is everything done?” he asked. Violet kept her head down, feeling extremely nervous. “Yes, it’s done,” she replied softly. Patrick continued, “Are you satisfied with the gift | gave you?”

Violet nodded quickly. “Yes, I’m so satisfied with it. It’s very useful.” Patrick acknowledged her response with a grunt. “Then let’s go to sleep.” Violet's face turned red as she looked up, feeling flustered and unsure, not believing what she had just heard. “What?”

Patrick could see through her thoughts with just one glance. He gently caressed her cheek and said in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry. | won't touch you until you’ve had your revenge. We'll just sleep in bed, nothing more.”

Violet immediately lowered her head again, her face burning. She didn’t dare to look at him at all.

Patrick found her reaction particularly amusing. He suddenly bent down, his b*dy exuding a strong hormone-filled aura, enveloping Violet tightly. “What's with that look of yours? Are you looking forward to it?” he teased.

Violet's head shot up, her face red. She stuttered, “I-I’m not!” Patrick chuckled lightly, turned around, and walked toward the bed. “Take a shower and go to sleep,” he said.

He had realized yesterday that he slept well when he held this woman in his arms. In the past, he could only sleep for five hours a night with the help of sleeping pills.

After taking a shower, Violet slid into bed and wrapped herself in the blanket. A moment later, however, Patrick held her in his arms.

The next morning, when Violet left the house, she saw Patrick, just like yesterday, watching the financial news. She walked over to him and awkwardly asked, “Did you... Um, sleep well last night?”

Patrick glanced at her and smirked. “Better than you think.”

Violet blushed and fell silent.

After breakfast, Patrick suggested driving Violet to the company, but she refused, saying, “I won't go to the company today.” Patrick raised an eyebrow but didn’t inquire further. Instead, he left without saying a word.

Not long after Patrick left, Violet received a screenshot message from her best friend, accompanied by the words “The thing you wanted!”

The screenshot displayed a scene from last night at 7:30 p.m., in which Veronica was using Violet's scanned design draft for the Century Jewelry Competition.

Some of the most trending hashtags included “Violet Webb Is The Plagiarist*, “The Plagiarist Should Go To Hell", and “Violet Webb Should Apologize To Veronica‘.

Violet sat on the hotel sofa, expressionless. As she read the comments directed at her online, her face showed no emotion, as if those comments were not about her. She silently waited for the situation to escalate.

At nine o'clock, another trending topic reading “Veronica Sues Violet Webb” emerged.

In the legal letter, Veronica claimed that Violet was her half-sister. While Veronica felt deeply hurt by Violet’s actions, Veronica acknowledged their familial bond.
