“Let my daughter go! Please!”
The woman shielded Violet behind her and pleaded with Luclus.
Why was she begging for mercy on Violet’s behall?
Violet was confused.
They were soon surrounded by dogs.
The woman lifted her stick and swung it at the dogs. She was not worried about herself whatsoever
and just focused on protecting Violet.
Lucius swung his hand upstairs, and George Immediately moved. He gave an order, “Chase them
back!”
A few bodyguards jumped in and cracked the whips in their hands. The dogs yelped in pain and ran
back.
Violet and the woman fell to the grass. Due to the chaos earlier, the grass was a mess.
After a long moment, Violet finally wrapped her head around what had happened. She grabbed the
woman. Who-”
“You stupid girl! Why did you do something like that?! Why didn’t you listen to your own mother?! Why
did you do this to yourself?! Why?!” The woman slapped her multiple times, and she did not hold her
strength back. She cried while yelling, as if she was thoroughly disappointed in her.
Wait… She said mother.
Was she Agatha River’s mother?
While the woman hit her with all her strength, Violet could see the love in her eyes. A person would
only grow resentful of someone if they had truly loved them before, she supposed.
Dumbfounded, Violet just stared at the gray-haired, middle-aged woman. She was envious, but also
touched.
She had never thought that there would come a day when someone would protect her at the risk of
their own
lives, then beg someone to spare her while casting aside their own dignity. Even when the woman hit
her, her
actions stemmed from love.
Was this how it felt like to have a mother?
Even so, Violet’s last shred of rationality made her think of one thing.
“Could we do a paternity test?”
The woman stopped crying and yelling at her. She stared at her with teary eyes. “For what? You were
never my flesh and blood. I’m just your adoptive mother. How could you forget that?”
What?!
Was there really no way for her to prove that she was not Agatha River?

For some reason, she no longer felt as disappointed as before.
“Seriously, you. The woman shook her head before hugging her tightly, as if she was worried Violet
would
leave the moment she let go.
Having never enjoyed a mother’s love before. Violet felt really touched and said, “Mom-.-”
“Oh, my child—” The woman finally broke down and started bawling.
Violet stayed in her arms quietly while also crying. She had never thought that someone would show
her such
concern after she had been abandoned by her family, much less imagine that she would receive a
mother’s
love from a woman she did not even know.
Perhaps it was not so bad being Agatha. At the very least, she had a mother who cared for her and
loved her.
Violet had never longed to be Agatha as much as she did at that moment.
After they were done crying, Naomi River, Agatha’s mother, led her out of the backyard while holding
her hand. Her tight grip made warmth blossom in Violet’s heart, even though she had gone through
such a scare just
now.
Lucius came down and headed out.
“Master Lucius!” Naomi suddenly rushed toward him and fell down on her knees in front of him. “It’s my
fault for not bringing up my daughter property. Let me take her place for whatever wrongs she has
done.”
Touched, Violet teared up again. She went up to Lucius and bowed willingly for the first time. “I’m
Agatha
River. I’ll pay for all the mistakes I’ve made.”
Lucius remained stony faced when Naomi spoke, but when Violet did, he narrowed his eyes and stared
at her.
“Please don’t get innocent people involved.” Violet pulled Naomi up.
When Naomi wanted to say something else, Violet touched her arm and shook her head. Her eyes
were filled
with determination.
