Thomas looked at him.
"Did she just quarrel with Mr.Lovegood again?"
Although he was old, his eyesight was still at its prime that, even from a distance, he could see that her
cheek was swollen.
And the only person who could beat her was Aaron.
Because no matter how dissatisfied his grandson was with her, his grandson would never beat her.
Jackie nodded.
"Then just let her rest upstairs." Thomas sighed.
He then ordered the servants to prepare some food and deliver it upstairs.
Maisie looked at Thomas.
Thomas really did not care about Violet’s rumors.
It was already very obvious whether the rumors were true or not.
After lunch, Maisie strolled with Daisie in the yard, and Daisie held her hand.
"Mom, is it really an unhappy incident to be forced to get married to someone?"
Maisie paused for a bit and turned to look at her.
"Why would you ask such a question all of a sudden?"
She replied subconsciously, "Aren’t Aunt Violet and Uncle Jackie staying together because of a forced
marriage?"
"Who told you that?"
"Zephir."
She said slowly, "Aunt Violet is Zephir’s cousin."
Maisie raised her hand to straighten Daisie's hair.
"It varies from person to person.Some people who are forced to marry each other would accept their
fate, but some just will not do the same."
The marriage between rich and powerful families was always about getting married to an evenly
matched family, and each family would benefit from the marriage.
They would sacrifice the happiness of their children, tie two strangers who had nothing to do with each
other, and force them to live together.
It was truly unacceptable for those who pursued the freedom of marrying someone they loved.
"Mom, then I won’t be married to someone that I don’t like in the future, will I?"
She was suddenly a little scared.
Maisie chuckled.
"Silly girl, your father would rather you not get married than marry you to someone that you don’t love."
Violet had locked herself in the room since returning t o the Cliffords.She did not even go downstairs for
dinner.She was in a better mood the next day and was about t o go out.
Daisie had just come back from shopping with her brothers and ran into Violet in the courtyard.
"Good morning, Aunt Violet."
She ran toward Daisie and hugged her.
"Morning, little sweetheart."
Waylon and Colton exchanged gazes.
‘It’s only been one night, and she’s turned back to that enthusiastic lady again?’ Violet let go of her.
"Did you just go shopping?"
Daisie nodded.
"Yes."
Violet’s eyes lit up.
"Then do you want to come with m e again for another round of shopping?"
Daisie did not dare to reject her, so she could only agree to go with her.
Violet then placed her arm around Daisie’s shoulders.
"I’ll borrow your sister for a short while."
And just like best friends, Violet took Daisie out.
Waylon and Colton sighed.
‘Women are truly born into the world to shop!’ Violet took Daisie to the boutiques of some high-end
luxury brands, and the two of them held hands like sisters.
Violet saw a pure white velvet skirt with a red cotton and linen shawl in the display window.
It had lantern sleeves and a high neck design.It looked very lively and beautiful, and it suited Daisie a
lot.
"Little sweetheart, do you want to try it on?"
Daisie looked in the direction she pointed, and the dress that caught Violet’s eyes matched her taste.
Violet brought her into the store.
The store manager welcomed both of them warmly.
"Ms.Lovegood, welcome."
Basically, everyone working in all the high luxury brands’ boutiques in Octavia knew Violet.
Who would not know that Violet had always been a frequent customer of such brands? Although she
had a bad reputation, she was rich! Violet said, "Get me the dress displayed in the window.An S-size
would do."
The store manager smiled and nodded.
"Okay, give me a second."
Before long, the store manager asked one of the sales representatives to bring the clothes over.
Violet handed Daisie the clothes.
"Darling, go in and try it on."
Daisie hugged the dress in her arms and followed the sales representative to the dressing room.
A few minutes later, Daisie came out of the dressing room with the dress on.
