As he was about to speak, at this very moment, Violet effectively and abruptly interrupted him.
Giving him a chance to speak was equal to giving him the opportunity to dominate the conversation.
So, relying on her innate well of control, Violet was absolutely unwilling to let this happen.
Some matters she did not wish to discuss, must not be brought up in conversation.
Yet, the two of them couldn't let their refusal lead to an awkward predicament at this juncture.
Thus, for Violet who aimed to achieve this goal, the only remaining method was to interrupt the other party's inquiries.
And so, Violet began to prattle about unrelated and unimportant matters.
To passersby, they appeared to be engaging in an afternoon tea chat.
But both of them were well aware of the implications behind this act.
It was simply a way to buy time, nothing more to be said.
Delaying and wasting time was undoubtedly infuriating and vexing.
