My Wife Is An All-Around Expert

Patrick’s eyes lifted slowly. “Tell them to wait in the parlor go call for Violet.”

Eleanor was one of Robert's cousins. Patrick agreed to meet her just for the sake of Robert.

Nelson nodded and exited the room.

Patrick remained seated for a moment, popped a mint into his mouth, and then got up to head to the parlor. Upon entering the parlor, Patrick immediately spotted Benedict, who fell to his knees at once.

Benedict was covered in bruises from the beating Patrick had given him the previous night, and he hissed in pain as he went down on his knees.

Patrick’s face remained expressionless as he walked over and sat on the couch. Eleanor’s eyes flashed with a hint of infatuation as she spoke. She heard Gloria left the country, so Patrick was back to being single again.

She said with a smile, glancing at Patrick, “Patrick, | heard that Benedict upset you last night, so | brought him here today to apologize to you.”

Patrick raised his eyes slowly and replied, “Apologize? Well, | don’t really sense his sincerity.” Eleanor’s smile froze. The apology was an excuse, but she hadn’t expected Patrick to take it so seriously.

The jewelry industry in Summerwood City was well-developed, and Benedict was her cousin. The Turner family was also involved in the jewelry business.

However, Benedict was such a fool. He didn’t recognize Patrick and had foolishly offended Patrick the previous night. As a result, several of the Turner family’s business deals had fallen through that morning.

The Turner family was so anxious that they rushed to beg Eleanor for help.

She had decided to bring the hospitalized Benedict with her and take the initiative to visit Foreverie Jewelry to apologize to Patrick.

Eleanor, not an ordinary person herself, felt a moment of embarrassment, but she quickly regained her smile. “If Patrick wants to see it, I'll let him make amends to you.”

Patrick cast a sidelong glance at Eleanor and replied, “There’s no need. Besides, you're apologizing to the wrong person. The one he offended isn’t me.”

Eleanor was stunned but maintained her smile. “I know. | heard he offended that new designer at your company, the one who’s been making headlines on the internet, Violet, right?”

Hearing Eleanor’s description, Patrick looked slightly displeased. He grunted lightly but didn’t say anything.

Eleanor tugged at Benedict's sleeve and said, “Even though Mr. Hersey said that you should apologize to him first, after all, Miss Webb is a valuable employee at Mr. Hersey’s company.”

Benedict seemed to snap back to reality and quickly bent over to apologize with his head hitting the marble floor with a thud, “Mr. Hersey, I’m truly sorry. I’ve been blind to my own mistakes. You are generous. Please forgive me this time. | really know | was wrong.”

Patrick’s eyes narrowed upon hearing his words. “You know what? It’s been a long time since I’ve hit someone myself.” Benedict was a bit puzzled when he heard this and looked at Patrick with a confused expression.

Patrick coldly snorted and said, “I hit you because I’ve had enough, to the point where | couldn’t even wait for my b*dyguard.” Benedict's face turned pale. He was deeply scared when he realized it was Patrick who had hit him.

His family’s business had hit a rough patch several times in one day, and he understood that he had messed with the wrong person.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Eleanor observed Benedict’s pale face. Her expression changed. She looked at Patrick and said, “Patrick, this time, please

forgive him. My cousin was unaware of the situation as well.”

Her gaze remained fixed on Patrick, paying attention to his change in expression. “I heard that it was the Webb family’s idea at the time, suggesting that Benedict would marry Violet in the future. So no matter what happens, it’s okay. My cousin thought the same way, and didn’t know that Miss Webb was unwilling beforehand...”

Patrick looked up at her sarcastically. “Really? If you don’t take a woman’s opinion into account on things like this, it’s not just a question of her willingness or not. It's rape. And not to mention, even within marriage, marital rape is illegal.” Eleanor smiled dryly, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing Patrick casually scrolling through his cell phone, she couldn’t help but speak up, “Patrick, you're not in love with Violet, are you?”

Upon hearing that, Patrick’s complexion changed slightly. This was the second time that day he had heard the same question. He coldly glanced at Eleanor. “No matter whether | am or not in love with her, in what capacity are you asking me about that?” Eleanor froze for a moment, her expression stiffened. She struggled to maintain her smile.

Just then, Nelson knocked on the door and brought Violet in.

Eleanor felt a slight relief, but a hint of jealousy flickered in her eyes when she saw Violet's exquisitely stunning face.

Patrick said in a calm tone, “Now she is here. If you want to apologize, then go ahead.”

Upon hearing that, Benedict knelt on the ground and crawled over to Violet’s side. He turned to her and bowed repeatedly, “Miss Webb, | was wrong. | am such an animal, no, I’m worse than an animal. Please forgive me. | truly didn’t mean to act that way last night. | did it because | listened to your father’s words. Please forgive me.”
