Chapter 486
The next day, 7 a.m.
At Silverleaf Ridge, Violette's doorbell rang out of the blue.
Violette, still in her pajamas, walked out of her bedroom. At the door, she saw on the screen it was
Odette, and she opened the door right away.
Odette went abroad for her honeymoon with Ramsey after their wedding.
She had previously told Violette they planned to be away for a whole month. But it was only half a
month now, why were they back already?
“Violette, are you sure you’re okay?” Odette came in carrying a load of presents.
“No worries, I’m fine. I've already gone back to work.” Violette got her slippers, “Why are you guys back
so early?”
Odette, with a serious face, said, “The honeymoon was a disaster! I planned to relax during the time,
but he was taking at least twenty work calls every day. To be honest, I’m thinking about getting a
divorce now.”
Violette poured her a glass of water, trying to console her, “Don’t be hasty. He just took over the family
business. Give him some time.”
“Huh, I’ve given him enough time. In the end, it’s all because he’s not capable enough, that’s why he’s
always in a mess.” Odette took the glass of water, had a sip, “Sometimes, I really envy you guys who
are so good at working.”
“I often work overtime too.” Violette sat down next to her, “Sometimes I also bring unfinished work
home. When we first started the business, it was common for me and Mike to stay up until two or three
in the morning.”
Hearing Violette’s comforting words, Odette seemed to relax a bit.
“Violette, thank you for comforting me. Ramsey said I’m too dramatic. Maybe I am a bit!” Odette said.
“Did Ramsey really say that?” Violette found it hard to believe.
“He said I do nothing all day and still manage to disturb his work. He said you raise two kids and work
so hard, so I should learn from you.” Odette said, her eyes slightly red.
Violette took a deep breath, thinking Ramsey’s words were too harsh.
“Well, I guess I can’t blame him completely. I was the one who started criticizing him. I said Elijah is
always relaxed. Every time we hang out with him, I’ve never seen him take a work call.” Odette pouted,
“Maybe I really should find something to do, to distract myself.”
“Odette, you think Elijah looks relaxed, but when you’re not around, he works really hard.” Violette said,
“He has a big study at home, which is actually his home office. When he’s busy, he can stay in there all
day.”
“Is it really that serious?” Odette asked.
Violette nodded, “No one’s success comes easy. Even those who inherited their family’s wealth, they
also need to figure out how to keep that wealth, right?”
“Right. Haven’t Rita and Ian woken up yet? Don’t they have school today?” Odette got up from the sofa
and started to go upstairs.
At this moment, Violette’s phone rang. She picked up the phone, and saw it was a call from an
unknown number. After hesitating for a moment, she answered the call.
……
At the hospital.
Elijah had been waiting in the Dean’s office all night.
The Dean had also spent the whole night sitting there with him. At first, the Dean suggested he go
home and rest. As soon as they found Violette’s files, they would call him. But Elijah insisted on waiting
in the hospital until they got the results.
The Dean had no choice but to have more staff continue the search in the archive room. When the
dawn broke, Elijah went to the archive room himself.
After Elijah came, they started the second round of search.
An hour later, the search was over.
“Mr. Bourne, we don’t have any medical records for Violette here.” One of the staff told him. Content NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Elijah frowned, full of doubt.
Before Elijah could speak, the bodyguard said, “I was the one who brought her to this hospital. How
could I get it wrong?”
The Dean was stunned, “The possibility of us losing the files is almost zero.”
