Violet was imprisoned here for no reason, forced to play Agatha’s role against her will. Under Lucius’s

dominating presence, she found herself always yielding to his punishment.

She wondered when this cycle would ever break.

In her moments of weakness, her tears would flow endlessly. She would hide in the bathroom, since

she didn’t

want anyone to see her in such a state.

“Ms. Agatha?” Even in the restroom, she couldn’t escape interaction–this time with a housemaid.

Acknowledging the maid with a simple nod, Violet remained silent.

The maid asked respectfully. “Do you need anything, Ms. Agatha?”

Flattery appeared to be the rule wherever one went, and the Imperial Palace was no different. Yet, the

maid’s

unusual level of respect felt unusually intense.

“Don’t focus too much on me,” Violet wisely cautioned. “Lucius despises me now, and if he finds out

you’re

treating me this way, he may turn on you.”

The maid appeared confused, and asked, “How can you say that, Ms. Agatha? Can’t you see how well

Master Lucius is treating you now? He’s been with many women, but has never cared for them like he

does for you. He even instructed George to buy you sanitary pads, and had a maid deliver them to you

so you won’t be

embarrassed.”

“Sanitary pads. Lucius ordered George to buy them.”

Violet had guessed this, but was hesitant to trust it because she believed George had acted on his own

initiative. Confirming it sent a quiver of astonishment through her heart and a fleeting sweetness

through her

heart, too quick to savor before it vanished.

The fact that Lucius didn’t personally buy them, but had someone else do it, was still astonishing.

Lucius‘ actions were puzzling at times, exhibiting care and then indifference before punishing people.

What

was his true intention?

Confused and unable to decipher his motives, Violet returned to her room. Seeing the pack of sanitary

pads there, she felt an odd sense of comfort amidst her turmoil.

Shortly after Violet replaced her sanitary pad, Lucius entered the room, his face as cold and

unchanging as it

had been since he came back from the lawn.

“Go to Grandma’s room,” he commanded sharply.

Though she was hungry, Violet obeyed without hesitation.

From afar, Regina beckoned, “Vivi, come over h here.”

At the sound of this familiar nickname, Violet felt a wave of relief and walked towards Regina.

“What did you do to irritate Lucius? He seems to be punishing you a lot these days,” Regina wondered,

clearly protective of Violet.

Violet’s eyes filled with emotion, feeling like she had finally found support.

“What else could it possibly be? I’ll punish anyone who disobeys in this way,” Lucius quickly intervened,

casting a menacing glance Violet’s way.

She almost forgot Mat Regina wasn’t aware she was playing the role of Agatha..

“Yes… Yes, that’s right,” she said slowly, feeling completely wronged. Nonetheless, she was wary of NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

revealing. too much in front of Regina.

Regardless, she had admitted to being Agatha.

“In such heat, yet you punish her this way. Are you trying to make me worry? What if something

happens to her due to this punishment, affecting your baby? What would I do then?” Regina asked.

“Baby?” Violet was shocked, struggling to follow Regina’s line of thought.

Lucius’s face also tensed, evidently reluctant to delve too deeply into the subject.

*Grandma, just focus on your recovery. I’ll take care of the baby,” Lucius responded, trying to mask his

feelings.

Regina wasn’t easily deceived. “And how will you do that? I’m lying here, consuming those dreadful

medicines every day. For what? I’d like to live a little longer to see you settle down and meet my great–

grandchild. If you don’t provide me with a great–grandchild soon, I’ll never forgive you!”

Lucius felt troubled by that demand.

“Did you hear me?” she pressed.

“I hear you,” he responded dutifully, his demeanor akin to that of a schoolboy reprimanded by a

teacher.

Despite her initial frustration, Violet found herself amused by Lucius’s expression.

She mused that if this scene were broadcast on television, it would be a hit. In her mind, she already

imagined

a headline. ‘Heartless Mogul Reprimanded by Grandmother‘.

“I want you and Vivi to conceive a child!” Regina declared.

Violet almost choked in astonishment. It took her a moment to process this and turn towards Regina,

feeling

as if disaster had struck.

Lucius, too, turned to Regina, their eyes meeting.

Observing Violet’s evident reluctance, Lucius experienced an uncharacteristic discomfort.

To many women, bearing a child was a coveted dream; yet there she was, showing disgust. She had

previously aborted his child once, and now, seemed repulsed by the idea of having another with him.

Who did she think she was?

“So, is it a yes or no? I need to know!” Regina insisted.

Regina, despite her frailty, demanded a response. Lucius, not wanting to upset her further, complied

with a nod

and conceded. “Yes.”
