Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride
Chapter 1662 - 1637: As Far as the Eye Can See, Eternity Endures: The Attentive Uncle (3000+)
This New Year is not as lively as last year. Last year, Joseph Lancaster prepared a lot of fireworks for Violet Zimmerman.
This year, now that Robert is here, Violet Zimmerman is not in the mood to watch fireworks.
The people from the second house are very pragmatic; those who reek of money don’t understand romance.
Without the embellishment of fireworks, the entire courtyard is quite desolate. Joseph Lancaster is alone, leaning against the old willow tree, gazing towards Violet Zimmerman’s room with his almond-shaped eyes.
It’s been nearly half an hour since Daxton and his wife went back, and the lights are still on...
In the darkness, Joseph’s gaze is misty. His hands are tucked into the pockets of his cotton coat, staring at the window.
Suddenly, a scream pierced through the night sky, and a silhouette dashed out of the villa, cradling something while shouting.
"Driver, driver..."
Joseph stirred, quickly running over, "Big brother, what’s happening?"
Upon reaching Daxton Lancaster, Joseph realized that Daxton was carrying his wife.
Violet Zimmerman was wrapped only in a quilt, with one arm dangling exposed, bare without fabric.
Held horizontally by Daxton, her head drooped back lifelessly, eyes closed.
Daxton was only wearing a sweater in his urgency, with its V-neck worn backward, thin leggings on his lower body, barefoot on the cold cobblestone path.
"What’s wrong with sister-in-law?"
Joseph anxiously asked, gripping hard onto Daxton’s arm.
"I don’t know either, Joseph, go get the car right away!"
For the first time, Daxton seemed so panicked, looking at Joseph, his face pale as paper, almond-shaped eyes red.
At this moment, Joseph’s attention was entirely fixed on the lifeless woman’s face, his trembling hand slowly reaching toward Violet’s face.
"Hurry up!" Daxton shouted, eyes red, causing Joseph’s hand to shiver.
Lifting his eyes, Joseph stared blankly at Daxton for a moment before suddenly reacting and turning around to run to the garage.
New Year, a day of family reunion, back then, after nightfall, the streets were almost deserted except for a black Hongqi speeding down the road.
Joseph’s entire body was tense, gripping the steering wheel tightly.
In the back seat, Daxton who was holding Violet had his pale face buried in Violet’s neck hollow.
"Violet..." Inside the car, Joseph’s painful voice echoed, murmuring, with a hint of sobbing.
"I’m sorry... I’m sorry..."
He didn’t mean it; he was just jealous and felt uncomfortable. Had he known this would be the outcome, he wouldn’t have treated her like that...
Daxton cried out loud holding Violet, while Joseph’s grip on the steering wheel in the front tightened even more.
Though he didn’t know what happened, he was aware that his brother mistreated his woman again.
Rewind to half an hour ago, Daxton suspected Violet was cheating on him again with his brother, blinded by jealousy, ignoring Violet’s protests, stripped her clothes.
Uttering filthy language, the man who lost his mind vented through verbal humiliation.
Violet’s dissatisfied protests angered him, an automatic thought popped up, he wanted to kill her on the bed.
So... he covered Violet’s mouth and nose with his hand, watching Violet’s face turn red, not only did he not pull back, but he exerted more force... until his consciousness cleared and he realized Violet was no longer breathing.
...
"Cough, cough cough..." A soft coughing sound emitted, very weak.
Daxton suddenly lifted his head, looking at the awakened Violet, with uncontrolled delight on his face.
"Violet, you’re awake?"
Up front, Joseph’s hand holding the steering wheel also trembled, causing the black Hongqi to swerve a small S on the road.
"Where is this?" Violet weakly asked, glancing around, unable to see clearly in the dark.
"It’s in the car." Daxton’s voice was urgent.
"In the car? Where are we going?"
"You just got through a shock; Joseph is driving us to the hospital."
After finishing, Daxton suddenly remembered Violet had awakened, lifted his head to instruct the front, "Joseph, Violet’s awake, let’s go back home!"
Joseph did not change direction; his cold eyes focused on the road ahead, continuing towards the hospital.
Daxton didn’t notice this, his mind occupied with the fact that Violet was awake, everything was okay.
When rushing out of the house with Violet, a horrifying thought occupied his mind., Violet was dead, killed by him.
