Chapter 589
After escorting her to Elijah’s office, Joey poured her a glass of water.
“Do you want something to eat? | can run out and get it,” Joey asked in a friendly tone.
Violette shook her head. “No need. You go and take care of your work. Don’t worry about me.” Joey’s smile didn’t falter. “| don’t have much to do right now. I'll keep you company while you wait!” Violette picked up the glass and took a sip.
“Violette, | heard about what happened between my boss and Odette yesterday. Let me explain! Elijah didn’t slap Odette because of Melinda. It was because Odette said some inappropriate things, like calling him a jerk and saying that he deserved to be dumped...”
Violette’s frosty gaze met Joey’s.
Feeling flustered under Violette’s stern gaze, Joey blurted out, “Uh... Elijah should have explained it to Ramsey already.” “The more you explain, the more | dislike him,” Violette said, setting down her water glass.
Joey zipped his mouth shut. “I'll be waiting outside.” He left the office, taking a deep breath once he was in the hall.
A few moments later, Elijah strode out of the elevator. Joey rushed over and whispered, “Boss, she’s really angry. Be careful. Also, her belly is bigger than before, so you better keep your temper in check...”
Elijah swallowed hard, and then stepped into his office.
Upon seeing him, Violette immediately pulled a contract out of her bag. “This is the three-way agreement we signed before,” she said. Her tone was cold and controlled. “My company’s collaboration with the border patrol doesn’t require your involvement under the guise of charity.”
“What do you mean, ‘under the guise of charity’?” Elijah frowned.
“You decided to donate only in order to pursue me, not because you genuinely wanted to give money,” Violette retorted. Her gaze was piercing. “I want to terminate this three-way agreement. I’m not here to negotiate. I’m here to inform you.”
Elijah’s eyes turned icy as they met hers. “You're here because of Odette.” “So what if | am?”
“| hit her, and now you hate me.”
“So what if | do?”
“Will canceling one contract make you feel better?” He walked over, gently took her hand, and placed it on his cheek. “Go ahead. Slap me. Take revenge for your best friend!”
Violette pursed her lips, trying to pull her hand away. But she couldn't.
“Go ahead!” His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was harsh. “Reme r, | almost ae edyoer Son! B5n!

The loud smack echoed in the room like a whip, landing heavy in her heart. Her hand was numb from the impact, and her heart ached too. She had hit him, under his provocation!. The office door swung open. Melinda rushed in, with her high heels clicking against the floor.

Elijah grabbed Melinda’s arm. His teeth gritted. “I told her to do it! Melinda, if you touch her, I’m not gonna show you mercy.”
