Chapter 26

A man got out of the car and carried a few exquisite bags into the living hall. “Here is the womenswear you wanted, sir. The latest fashion in size S.” He was decked in a full suit, complete with leather shoes, and treated Senior Yancey with the utmost respect. He greeted him with a bow.

“Thank you!” Senior Yancey was very obliging as well.

The man smiled. “You’re welcome.”

Violet watched him leave after handing the bag over.

Senior Yancey brought the bag to her. “Go and change into these, Vi.” His eyes were full of love.

“Thanks, grandpa,” Violet looked at him after taking the clothes.

“Go, the doctor will be here soon.”

Violet nodded and went to the bathroom.

She had just closed the bathroom door and was about to change her outfit when her phone rang.

After putting down the bag and taking out her phone, Violet glanced at the caller ID. She answered.

“Hey, bro.” Her voice became noticeably quieter.

“Where are you?” Julian’s voice rang out. He could sense that something was amiss with her immediately. “Are you in danger?”

“No, no.”

“Then where are you? Can you talk now?” He knew her too well; he noticed something was wrong just by hearing her voice.

“I’m in…” Violet looked around her and gave an honest answer. “I’m in Jack Yancey’s house.”

It was obvious that Julian was alarmed. “What for? Did you break in to steal from him? Or has he kidnapped you?” It could not have been the latter, otherwise, why would her phone still be with her?

“Sigh, it’s a long story. I’m not stealing anything and I’ve not been kidnapped. Why did you call me?”

“What do you think?” Julian bounced the question back at her.

Violet could almost imagine his personable face frowning slightly at the moment.

“I know,” she replied apologetically. “I’ll think of a way.”

“The last deadline is in 15 days. Meet it or your life will be at risk. I think you should look for Theo Yeager. He deserves it for all his crimes, so he’s the best option.” Knowing how kind his junior was, Julian gave her a direct suggestion.

“I know.”

“Don’t just know it. Do it!”

“I… understand.”

In actual fact, Violet had already been pondering about these things last night. Why should she show Theo Yeager mercy when he wanted to kill her?

Julian was still worried. “If you can’t do it in ten days, I’ll come and help you. Our master has ordered me to do so.”

“I don’t need your help!” Violet felt a sudden fear. “You’re already too busy. Stay in the village and take care of our master. I don’t need you to worry about me here, I can definitely complete it. I won’t let myself die. I still have my mother to think about!”

“Do you need help? Is your mother alright?” Julian inquired out of concern before hanging up.

Violet nodded. “She’s doing well. We don’t need help.”

“What are you doing at Jack Yancey’s home?” Julian felt both suspicious and uneasy.

“Bro, Jack is actually… He’s actually okay. Quite the gentleman. Don’t worry, he won’t do anything to me,” she said in a low voice. “Anyway, I’m closer with his grandfather now. Grandpa is quite fond of me.”

“His grandfather?”

“Yup. After I rejected the wedding, his grandfather got a stroke. I had gone to the hospital to see my mother, who had been ill coincidentally. Jack caught me there. He got me to take care of his grandfather. The old man’s healthy now and we’ve bonded well.” Violet reported the series of events as they happened to him.

“That’s good news. What about Theo Yeager?”

“The Yancey Group will suppress Theo Yeager. It’s not possible to solve the conflict between them anymore. I can remove myself from the scene. Grandpa dotes on me so don’t worry.”

“You have to be careful. Wealthy people aren’t easy to deal with. Being close to them is sailing dangerously close to the

wind.”

“I know, bro. Send my regards to our master.”

“Mm. Take care of yourself out there.” Julian hung up.

Violet still held on to her phone. Her heart had grown inexplicably heavy.

Ten days…

She would not need ten days if she could only see Theo Yeager. A second and it would be a done deal!
