Chapter 564
When did he ever pressure her to repay the money?! It was her. She was doing this to herself.
"Do you think I asked her for money?" His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
Joey quickly shook his head: "I know you wouldn't ask her for money. But you could persuade her to stop repaying it." "Do you think she would listen to me?" His tone was laced with irony, "Why do you think she would listen to me?!" Joey was taken aback.
"Did Mike send you to tell me this?" Elijah's Adam's apple bobbed as he frowned tightly.
Joey shook his head: "He knew it would be pointless to talk to you. But I think even if it's pointless for you to say anything, at least you've made your stance clear. If she doesn't listen and something happens later on, she can't blame you."
"I get it. You can leave." Elijah wasn't afraid of being blamed; he was just worried about her health.
After Joey left, he picked up his phone and called Violette. The call went through, but no one answered. After the system automatically hung up, he put down his phone.
He felt like a puppet on strings, and she was holding them. She was driving him crazy.
He reached for his coffee mug, only to find it empty. He called his secretary, and moments later, there was a knock on his office door.
Just then, his phone rang on the table. He picked it up and saw Violette's name, his eyes darkened and he answered: "Violette! What are you trying to do? Tell me, what are you trying to do?!"
His roar startled his secretary who was frozen on the spot. Violette on the other end of the phone was also taken aback. She had just come out of the bathroom, getting ready for bed. She saw his missed call, so she called him back. But she was greeted by his angry voice.
"What did I do?" She sat down on the edge of the bed in confusion and murmured, "Elijah, have you gone mad?"
“Have I gone mad? Who's the one that's really gone mad?!" He stood by the window, staring at the bustling city outside, questioning, "Who told you to take on all these messy jobs? Was it me? Did I force you to repay the money?!"
Violette understood why he was angry after listening to his string of questions. "I didn’t take on any messy jobs."
"You're lying!" He snapped, "Have you recovered from your injury?! Other than resting and recovering, who gave you permission to do anything else?! Have you considered how I feel seeing you recklessly trying to make money?!"
The secretary was scared stiff. She had never seen the CEO lose his temper like this. In the yes of avlithe ploypegcelian Wasa ways avie-I even to the point of being cold and detached. But now, he seemed like a man filled with emotions and desires. Please read the original content at .
Facing Elijah's reprimand, Violette's breathing became heavier before

She didn't hang up immediately after saying this. She wanted to see his reaction. But he gave none. After a moment of silence, she hung up.
Surely, Mike must have exaggerated when telling them about her taking on side jobs. Otherwise, Elijah wouldn't be so angry.

Elijah returned to his office chair.
