My Wife Is An All-Around Expert

Violet's opening of the door startled the people in the office.

Two pairs of eyes turned toward her simultaneously.

Violet's expression changed slightly. It was because the person kneeling on the floor was none other than Henry, who had been threatening her all

along.

Henry recognized that it was Violet. He was about to stand up, but he met Patrick’s icy and stern gaze. Henry clenched his teeth and kept his head down, not getting up.

Violet's expression kept shifting. She walked in and closed the door behind her.

Though she couldn't quite grasp what was going on, it was evident that Henry’s situation was somewhat related to her. Patrick’s gaze turned to Violet as if he couldn’t see the other person in the

Office.

Patrick’s expression was unreadable, making it impossible to discern his emotions. He asked Violet, “What are you here for?” Violet glanced at Patrick, then at Henry, who was still kneeling on the floor. She didn’t answer Patrick’s question. Instead, she asked, “What's going on here?”

Patrick’s eyes darkened. “It’s just as you see.”

Violet's eyes flickered, and she asked straightforwardly, “Why is he kneeling to you?”

Amocking smirk appeared on Patrick's face. “What? Do you want to plead

for him?”

Violet looked at him and said helplessly, “You’re thinking too much. I’m not that generous. At most, I’m just curious.”

Upon learning that for all these years, Henry not only hated her but also.

saw her as a thorn in

his side, using her at every turn, she had long feelings for this person.

lo

Patrick snorted and didn’t answer her question. “Assuming what you said is true, why have you come to me?”

Violet looked at him calmly and explained her purpose, saying, “I’ve come to thank you. | want to thank you for standing up for me.”

Patrick glanced at Henry kneeling on the floor and then at Violet. “Which specific incident? If you don’t make it clear, how am | supposed to know why you're thanking me?”

Violet furrowed her brows. She knew Patrick had a sharp tongue, so she suppressed her displeasure and said. “The Willis family’s matter, Benedict and Veronica.

Patrick chuckled and replied. “It seems you do know how to appreciate a favor. Since you've come all this way to thank me, I'll be generous and forgive your earlier lack of gratitude.”

Henry's expression changed. As expected, all those incidents were orchestrated by Patrick, and he had guessed right.

Violet raised an eyebrow and looked at Patrick. She had given him an opportunity, but he still responded in such an awkward manner. She truly had nothing more to say.

She pressed her lips together and then said, “T it for tat. You have no obligation to help me. You did me a favor, and | owe you one. I'll

remember this matter, and if you ever need my help in the future, just ask

me.

Patrick smirked playfully. He had forgotten that Violet was always clear- cut when it came to grievances.

He put on a faint smile and replied, “Not necessary.”

Violet glanced at him and did not argue with him. When Patrick really needed help, she would step in and repay this favor. 12:58 Mon, Jan

hapter!

Little did Patrick know that he would actually call upon Violet not long after making such a straightforward statement.

After Violet finished speaking, she turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Henry suddenly called out, “Violet!”

Henry looked conflicted. He could tell that Patrick was giving Violet a face.

He realized that Veronica’s current situation was all Patrick’s doing. When Veronica’s life was saved, he came to beg Patrick. He was self-aware enough to know he couldn't outwit Patrick.

When Henry came, Patrick agreed to meet him. But even though Henry knelt to apologize and plead for mercy, Patrick showed no indication of leniency. Henry could only remain kneeling.

And when Violet arrived, she treated Henry as a complete stranger.

Henry had no other option but to call out to her. Once Violet left, Patrick would be even less inclined to listen to him.

Patrick glanced at Henry coldly with a displeased expression.

With a stiff resolve, Henry said, “Violet, | know | was mean and treated you poorly. But considering you’ve been with the Webb family for twenty years, please spare us. Veronica has wronged you before, and now she’s become the laughingstock of the entire Summerwood City, not to mention her legs are cri ppled. Can you say a word for us in front of Mr. Hersey and ask him to spare the Webb family? Please?”

As Henry spoke, he kneeled and lowered his head to Violet.

“I'm begging you, Violet!” His voice was filled with desperation as he pleaded.

Violet frowned deeply, her expression unpleasant. “You don’t have to do this.”

Henry was stubborn, continuously begging Violet. “Violet, it’s my fault. Please spare the Webb family!”

Patrick noticed Violet’s displeased expression. It was evident that while she could be indifferent toward Henry, she couldn’t bear to see him

subserviently kneeling before her.

Patrick’s expression grew even more stern. He said, “Henry, that’s enough! Who do you think you’re threatening here?”

Henry turned to Patrick, and he looked embarrassed. “Mr. Hersey, I’m not threatening anyone. I’m only begging you to spare the Webb family, please!”

Patrick’s expression darkened. “You can get lost.”

“Do you agree to spare the Webb family?” Henry pleaded.

Patrick’s voice was chilling as he said, “I don’t have a hobby of kicking a man when he’s down. Get out of my sight before | change my mind!”

Henry quickly stood up and expressed his gratitude repeatedly. “Thank you, Mr. Hersey!”

Henry left, closing the door behind him, and glanced back at Violet. “Thank you too, Violet!”

Patrick threw a document file at him. “Get out!”

Henry immediately closed the door and disappeared.

Violet looked at Patrick with a complex expression. “Actually, you didn’t need to spare him for my sake. If you find him disagreeable, you're free to deal with him. It has nothing to do with me.”

Patrick gazed at Violet intently. “Don’t you think he’s pitiful?”

Violet scoffed. “Pitiful people sometimes have their detestable side.”

Patrick glanced at her. “If you can think that way, it doesn’t matter whether he’s spared or not. After all, | took action against the Webb family in the -first place because of you.”

Violet pressed her lips together and looked at him earnestly. “I know. Thank you, Mr. Hersey. I'll remember this favor.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Seeing Violet's sincere and earnest expression, Patrick felt annoyed from the bottom of his heart. His tone turned a bit rough. “No need. Just bother me less with this kind of matter in the future.”

Violet nodded and turned to leave.

However, Patrick suddenly stopped her with a shout. “One more thing!”
