Violet’s face slightly changed, and she instinctively looked at Patrick. He remained expressionless throughout. His tone was too
casual for such a cruel statement as if he were saying, “I’m having plain water. Does anyone have any objections?”
Yvonne’s b*dy went limp, and she suddenly looked at Patrick with tears welling up in her eyes. She grabbed Gabriel’s sleeve, her
voice trembling. “Gabriel. I was wrong, I really messed up! Save me!”
Gabriel turned stiffly to look at Patrick, his tone harsh. “She’s a graphic designer! Don’t you think this is too cruel?”
No matter how unbearable Yvonne was, she was still his cousin. He might
not like her, but he could not watch her ruin her future.
Patrick’s voice remained cold. “Too cruel, you say?”
No one answered his question, and Patrick continued. “Gabriel, I initially planned to take both of her hands. After all, for
someone who enjoys sneaky activities, what’s the use of keeping her hands? Now, with just one hand, do you still think it’s
cruel?”
Gabriel’s expression became rigid, and he muttered, “I know it was her
fault in this case...”
“Since you also think it’s her fault, shouldn’t she pay the price?” Patrick asked, his face cold.
Gabriel had a tense expression and was left speechless by the question. He completely lacked the arrogance he usually
displayed in front of Patrick.
Violet’s emotions were in extreme turmoil.
Suddenly, Patrick turned to her and said, “Violet, take a look. Can you trust. Gabriel? Do you still firmly believe that even if the
account used to pay Laurie belongs to him, this wasn’t his doing?”

His voice grew colder. “What about now? Even if he did not do it himself, he’s still protecting the mastermind behind the scenes.
Do you think your persistence still holds any meaning?”
Violet abruptly looked up at Patrick, her gaze eventually settling on Gabriel’s face. Her emotions were complicated. While she
could not forgive someone for swapping her désign, she had never genuinely considered taking someone’s hand. It was the first
time she had seen this dark side of Patrick, and she could not help but feel afraid.
Gabriel felt extremely embarrassed when he noticed Violet staring at him without saying a word. He closed his eyes and said
resolutely, “Patrick, you can do whatever you want with Yvonne. You’re right. When you make a mistake, you should face the
consequences.”
Having said that, Gabriel’s sternness frightened Yvonne to the point where her b*dy went limp. She knelt down and cried in
distress, saying, “Gabriel, you can’t do this to me! You can’t just abandon me! How am I going to live. without my hand?”
Gabriel closed his eyes ruthlessly and remained silent. Despair filled. Yvonne’s gaze as she looked at his face. Then she turned
and crawled on her knees towards Patrick, reaching out to grab his trouser leg. However, Nelson blocked her way and said,
“Miss Williamson, Mr. Hersey hates to have any connections with something filthy.”
Yvonne’s face turned even more unpleasant, and she pleaded with desperation. “Patrick, please spare me. I admit I was wrong
this time. I’ll apologize to Violet, and I promise I’ll never misbehave again. Please, I’m begging you, spare me!”
Yvonne continued to kowtow on the ground, her forehead bruised from the repeated knocks. She had never experienced such
humiliation in her life. However, she was genuinely terrified because she liked Patrick, and she knew him well enough to
understand that he was fully capable of such. actions.

that if Patrick investigated this matter involving Gabriel, it would be an end to it. After all, the relationship between Gabriel and
Patrick was quite unique in the past. It was just some things happened later on, leading to the current situation. While others only
knew that Patrick and Gabriel were at odds, they were unaware that Patrick had never been willing to take severe measures
against Gabriel.

that things would be different this time, that Patrick would continue to dig into Gabriel’s involvement. She could not help but
resent herself for not being discreet enough, as she had still been
discovered by Patrick.
Violet observed Yvonne’s pitiful state, contrasting it with her earlier arrogance, and felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.
She decided to leave the scene and get some fresh air.
However, just as she rose from her seat, she heard Patrick’s cold voice command. “Sit down!”
