Chapter 88
Chapter 88
Violette didn't go back to the Bourne family.
And she didn't visit the sick Elijah either.
This time, her decision was a real shocker.
Aside from Violette's decision, there was another person who was cold and heartless towards Elijah.
That person was Brandon.
Since Violette never returned to the Bourne family nor showed any concern for Elijah, who was
bedridden, Brandon would come to Elijah's bedside every day and tell him about Violette's daily
whereabouts.
For example, today Violette went to SwiftStream Capital and had a great time with Derek in the
morning.
Or, today Derek took Violette to an art exhibition and they had lunch together.
Whether they really went to the art exhibition or had lunch together didn't matter.
What mattered was to make Elijah angry, and only when he was angry would he cooperate with the
treatment.
Because illness prevented him from taking revenge.
Brandon used his knowledge of Elijah to make him suffer every day.
Finally, under the control of the medication, his condition began to improve.
Although his face was still pale, he was still coughing, and his body was still weak, he was determined
to go out.
The reason was that Brandon had just told him that today Derek would take Violette to an AI
technology event.
These days, Elijah had been lying in bed, thinking about a lot of things.
His memory of Derek had actually become blurred.
This illness made him remember everything about this person's past.
Derek was a person who only considered his own interests. He made friends or did things all after
careful calculation, only doing things that were beneficial to him.
Besides, he was good at disguising himself.
Even when facing an enemy, he would smile, and when you let your guard down, he would crush you.
The reason why Elijah and Derek became more and more distant was not only because of their
incompatible personalities but also their different investment philosophies.
Derek would do anything for money. He was good at winning over the powerful and turning illegal
money into his own.
Although Elijah would also do anything for the sake of interests, he had his own bottom line.
He would not take illegal money.
Violette getting so close to Derek would sooner or later be dragged into the abyss by him.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
"Elijah, the doctor said you need to rest for at least a week before you can go out," Brandon advised
him. "It's cold outside today, and there's a strong wind. If you go out, your condition will definitely get
worse."
The doctor nodded frantically.
Elijah walked to the wardrobe, took out a gray coat, and put it on.
Brandon shook his head at the doctor.
Meaning, he had to go out.
Today's AI technology exhibition was for high-end audiences.
There were only fifty seats at the exhibition site.
But the stage was huge. There would be a grand and eye-opening AI technology exhibition.
Derek got two tickets and invited Violette to go with him.
Violette agreed without much thought.
She hadn't known much about this field in the past, but now she had a strong interest in it.
The exhibition would start at two in the afternoon.
At noon, Derek invited Violette to have lunch at a nearby upscale restaurant.
Lately, she would accept almost every time Derek invited her out.
Whether it was to hang out or have a meal together.
Every time they met, they would have a great time chatting, but Derek could feel that her heart was not
entirely devoted to him.
Her eyes lacked vitality.
If she really liked him, her eyes should be shining with light.
