Love Addiction: Doting On My Love by Wendy

Chapter 148



Chapter 0148
Their exchange alleviated Emily’s dissatisfaction. She realized that Violet was merely one of many women in Lucius’s life, and
she had now been discarded.
Violet turned abruptly and bumped right into Emily.
The encounter surprised both of them, but Emily was the first to regain her composure.
“Sorry, I accidentally overheard. Violet, to think that you’d become someone’s mistress. That’s disgraceful to our father,” she
remarked.
Quickly, Violet’s expression turned icy again. The mention of Patrick still stung her heart painfully.
She did not exhibit any emotions on her face but mocked Emily, saying, “Can’t you quit haunting
me? If I didn’t have to see you, I’d live longer.”
Emily retorted, “I’m not haunting you. You’re clinging to me. What are you trying to achieve? Why
ruin my life?”
Her harsh scolding abruptly shifted to one of pain and sadness. “After all, we are sisters.”
Violet was perplexed, unable to figure out what kind of show Emily was putting on. Then she saw
several colleagues standing behind Emily when she looked up.
She wondered what was going on today. Why was everyone gathered around here?
Rubbing her forehead, Violet felt overwhelmed by the chaotic situation.
“Violet, please stop torturing me, okay?” Emily pleaded as she grasped Violet’s sleeve.
Violet pulled away from Emily’s hand, chastising. “Have you gone mad?”

She simply moved Emily’s hand away, but Emily’s body jerked dramatically as if pushed, and she fell to the ground.
“Argh, argh, argh...” Emily wailed, her face covered in tears.
Emily had expected Violet not to play along with her act, making her look like a bully. People often sympathized with the
perceived victim.
Sure enough, their colleagues glared at Violet with disgust and anger.
“You two are sisters. Violet, you shouldn’t treat her like this. I heard you’re the reason for her missing voice. You don’t belong in
our company.”

A few individuals helped Emily stand up.
Emily shook her head weakly and added, “Don’t speak ill of my sister. I don’t want to bring that up.”
“See how gracious your sister is. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
Violet shook her head, seeing through the blind righteousness of the crowd. Many unexplainable provocations from Emily
seemed to come from people who were unaware of the entire situation.
“Enough with your act, Emily.” Violet said, signaling for her to stop. She then walked away. shrugging off the drama.
“What kind of behavior is that?”
“She should be thrown out of the company!”

“Exactly!”
Murmurs of disdain followed her.
Violet realized that Emily acted to smear her reputation, trying to make her quit the job on her own. True to her mother’s
character, her daughter was good at playing these tricks.
But why should Violet be the one to leave?
Violet received Emily’s call on the bus.
Annoyed, Violet glanced at her phone. Eventually, she decided to pick it up, saying, “What sort of trick do you want to play now?”
“Leave the company.” Emily brazenly demanded.
Emily had the courage to speak up because she knew who supported Violet. She saw an opportunity to evict Violet as a result of
Lucius abandoning her.
Sharing a workplace with Violet, and receiving praise for Violet and criticism of herself was unbearable.
Belle’s philosophy, which was passed down to Emily, was clear. It was better to wrong others than to wrong oneself. So Violet
should be the one to leave.
Violet, with a dry smile, challenged, “Why should I leave?”
“Think about it. You can’t win against me. Leave now with some dignity, or I can’t guarantee your safety,” Emily threatened.
Emily was threatening her, but Violet was not easily scared.

Violet was undeterred.
“Sorry, I’m not planning to leave. But don’t try anything like today again, or else...”
She left the warning hanging and abruptly hung up.
Emily frowned on the other end of the phone and sensed trouble brewing.
Soon after, a text from Violet arrived.
“Or else I will tell everyone that I took care of your lover for a year.”
Startled, Emily was interrupted by Oliver’s question, “What are you looking at?”
Emily was horrified. Her hand broke out in a cold sweat, almost letting her phone slip from her
grasp.
“Oh, it’s nothing...” she hastily covered her phone screen, managing a forced smile. “Just a joke from a colleague.”
Her main concern was not her colleagues discovering the secret, but the fear of Oliver finding out. She knew that if Oliver
learned the truth, given his feelings for Violet, he would leave her.
At that moment, Emily regretted causing trouble for Violet.
Oliver was always considerate and respectful around Emily, and he did not press her to see her phone. He softly caressed her
hair, asking, “Is work over for the day?”
“Yes, definitely,” Emily replied, her spirits lifting as she smiled.
Seizing the moment when Oliver went to fetch the car, she quickly erased the incriminating
message.
Though the message was gone, the imprint it left on her heart was permanent.
Wrongdoers often lived in fear of being exposed, and Emily was no different.

The more she harbored this fear, the more she desired Violet’s downfall, wanting her out of sight. and disgraced.
