Chapter 25

Jack wanted to rebut her but he did not know what to say. He had not brought her out for dinner.

Violet pulled Senior Yancey’s arm over without giving Jack time to respond. “But I’m very opened minded. I can’t be bothered to hold a grudge against him, so please don’t blame him. Why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast?”

She hurriedly changed the topic; getting beaten up was embarrassing to her.

“The injuries on your face look serious! Are you hurt anywhere else?” However, Senior Yancey was heartbroken. The frown on his face remained. “How can Theo Yeager be so evil?! I’ll help you get revenge on him!”

“Thanks, grandpa. There aren’t any other injuries, I’m fine.” Violet was very touched. She did not want Jack’s grandfather to worry.

Meanwhile, Jack knitted his brows. He was completely helpless!

He could not be bothered to explain himself. Continuing down the stairs, he heard how they conversed with each other. They were very close.

“Vi” Senior Yancey asked hopefully as he examined the clothes she was wearing, the ones Zoey had lent her. “Did you spend the night here?” This was very important to him.

“No,” said Jack.

“Yes,” said Violet.

They answered at the same time.

Senior Yancey looked at Violet before turning to Jack. It took him only a second to figure out who was lying.

The atmosphere in the living hall froze up for a few seconds.

The worldly-wise old man chuckled. Kindness radiated from his face.

He sat down on the couch and dialed a number on the landline. He instructed airily, “Send a few sets of ladies’ outfits to the president’s mansion immediately. Matching footwear too, please. Get Dr. Gordon to come over as well.” He put down the receiver after he was done.

“Grandpa!” Jack darted over agitatedly. “If the media catches wind that women’s clothes are being sent here, it’ll make the news!”

Senior Yancey glanced at him. “Then let it! News of you getting dumped at your wedding was already all over the news so what are you afraid of? Are we supposed to let Vi go out like this? If I didn’t know better I would’ve thought you’d taken her clothes from her.”

“.” There was astonishment in Jack’s eyes.

On the other hand, Violet had lowered her head to hide her smirk.

“Have you guys had breakfast, Vi?” Senior Yancey looked at her affectionately. “Go and eat your breakfast quickly. The clothes will be here soon, and we’ll have a doctor here to take a look at here.”

“Sure, grandpa.” Her voice was as sweet as honey.

Violet was hungry. She gave Jack a glance before walking into the dining hall alone.

Jack suppressed his anger from showing on his handsome face. He glared at her back before heading into the dining hall as well.

Did this woman practice sorcery? How did she get his grandfather to adore her so much in just a few days!

The two of them sat at a distance from each other.

The breakfast was very nutritious; there were eggs, soup, sandwiches, fruit salad, noodles, and milk.

Violet ignored him completely from the moment they sat down. She kept her head down and ate her food; she was actually a little afraid to look him in the eyes,

Jack stared at her coldly while eating his breakfast.

In the middle of the meal, Violet lifted her eyes. All of a sudden, their eyes met. Her limbs weakened slightly. “What on earth did you do to bewitch my grandfather like this?” Jack’s question was direct and to the point. “My heart,” Violet answered matter-of-factly, “I have a kind and pure heart”

“Kind? Pure?” Jack snorted in derision. “My grandfather’s probably going to get you to live here. You’d better think of a way

to leave or you’ll never see your mother again.” He spoke co olly in a warning voice.

He got up and went away without waiting for Violet’s response, leaving his meal unfinished.

In the living hall.

“I’m off to the office!” Jack took his coat from Zoey and put it on while walking.

“Hey! Don’t you want to wait for Dr. Gordon?” Jack and Gordon were friends after all.

“There’s a very important company meeting I can’t miss.” He had no time to wait.

Jack vanished from the doorway quickly. The chauffeur opened the door to the passenger seat of his Maserati in the front yard and Jack slid in.

The chauffeur closed the door before returning to the driver’s seat. Very soon, they had driven off.

Barely a few minutes had passed when another car came in and parked in the courtyard.
