Chapter 0036
She finally understood Lucius’s purpose for bringing her here: it was to make her suffer again. His ulti
ultimate goal was to torment her and make her life a living hell.
With a lazy air, he shut the laptop and looked at her coldly. Even though he was sitting, he looked regal,
relaxed, and imposing.
“Agatha, here’s your lesson for today: not all men can be wrapped around your little finger. You’re really
stupid to have gone to him by using the excuse of looking for your baby.”
His final sentence was filled with anger.
Violet just stared at him and said nothing. To prove her identity, she had sought out Oliver before going
to the Wickham family’s mansion. Oliver was there at that time, so it only made sense that Lucius
would think that she had only gone to the Wickham family’s mansion to see him. After all, he had sent
someone to monitor her 24/7.
“I’m tired,” she said after a long time had passed.
Lucius acted as if he did not hear her. He dialed a number. “I want to buy all the artwork drawn by an
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtartist called Oliver.”
Violet’s eyes flew wide open. “What are you doing?”
“Praising him for doing the right thing.” Lucius hung up.
Was he saying that all those who treated her coldly were doing the right thing?
Meh.
Violet hung her head. No emotion could be seen in her lustreless eyes, but they looked incredibly big
on her face because she was really thin.
Time passed. Lucius did not spend a lot of time punishing Violet, but he did ask her to weed the garden
every single day. Even when it rained, he wanted her working in the garden.
But even if Lucius did not punish her, others did. In Imperial Palace, Agatha was despised like a
cockroach, and everyone wanted to kill her. Hence, whenever Violet went out to weed the garden, she
had to face all sorts of schemes and was always inevitably hurt.
Lucius was reading through the document in his hand when he looked up and did not see Violet.
He frowned. “Where is she?”
George scowled and took the document Lucius passed over to him. After some thinking, he said, “Ms.
Agatha fainted.”
“Reason?”

He felt no concem for her. He just did not want her punishment to end so soon.
“Malnourishment.” George decided to voice the reason.
Lucius glared at him, and there was obvious fury on his face. “Why did you starve her?”
“We didn’t!” George answered hurriedly. Lucius had said that they could punish her however they
wanted, but
she had to be fed well.
All so that she could suffer longer.
She had to pay a hundredfold for the humiliation Lucius suffered over the past four years!
“We gave her food, but she refused to eat.”
George was worried. He had tried persuading Violet to eat, but she simply refused to, and he could do
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnothing about it. This was his responsibility, though, so he had hidden it from Lucius.
A crease appeared between Lucius’s eyebrows. “Where is she?”
“In the guest room.”
When Lucius arrived at the guest room, Violet had already woken up. There was an IV drip attached to
the back of her hand, and in front of her was a nourishing bowl of porridge, but she did not even spare
it a glance.
Over the past few days, whenever the doctor left, she pulled the needle out.
Hence, the first thing Lucius saw when he walked in was her pulling out the needle without even
blinking.
Pinpricks of blood rushed out of the puncture hole.
“What are you doing?” he asked. Despite not being angry, he appeared to be awe-inspiring.
Violet gave him an indifferent look. Her lips were so dry, rough, and flaky that they looked like they were
wrapped up in plastic.
“Speeding up my death.”
“Do you think you have the right to die?” Lucius ordered the doctor to come back and set up the IV’drip
for Violet again.
