Chapter 4

“Hey!” She almost slipped and fell. Instinctively, she struggled to break free. “What are you doing? Let me go!”

“You’re not allowed to go until my grandfather is clear of danger!” Jack sounded firm. There was a fierce look in his eyes. “Where would I go to claim your life if my grandfather dies?”

He began walking forward while dragging her along.

Violet recovered her wits. Her wrist was hurting immensely. Quietly, she tried to slip her hand out from his with all of her strength. It was very painful, but she did not make a sound.

She did not want to attract attention as there were many people in the corridors.

However, the more she struggled, the tighter his grip became.

“Hey, I’m not a doctor, let me go!” Violet started to panic. “Why are you so unreasonable?”

“Why are you at the hospital if you’re not a doctor? Here to watch the show?” There seemed to be a misunderstanding.

She finally realized why he was so angry. Did he think that she was here to watch the drama unfold?

Violet immediately felt very troubled.

Raising her voice, she said, “You’re thinking too much! I’m here because my mum is sick. I’m worried that Theo Yeager will hurt her so I rushed here to fetch her! So let me go, quick!”

However, in the current situation, how would Jack believe her?

He did not stop his strides and maintained his tight grip on her wrist.

“Vi!”

Violet heard a familiar voice coming from behind her. She turned

round.

The moment she saw her mother, Violet pulled at Jack’s arm as hard as she could and forced him to stop walking.

“Mother!” Violet tried to break herself free so she could run to her moth but to no avail; Jack was unwilling to let go.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Who is he?” Xayah ran towards her daughter worriedly, holding a bag of medicine.

When she saw Jack’s face clearly, she was so shocked that she halted immediately.

“Let me go!” Violet threw Jack a look. She felt very agitated as she did not want her mother to worry.

Nevertheless, Jack kept his grip on her.

From her mother’s reaction, Violet guessed that she had recognized Jack.

Her mother must have seen the wedding, which had been live-streamed to the entire city,

Violet was rather anxious. She lowered her voice and tried to compromise. “Let’s discuss this amicably.

Just let me go first.”

At that moment, she heard clear and orderly footsteps. Violet turned to see four men sharply walking towards them.

“Mr. Yancey.” They greeted him respectfully with a bow.

Were these his men? Violet had a bad feeling.

She did not stop struggling to break free. However, no matter what she did, she could not release herself from his grip.

“Take good care of this lady. Round-the-clock care.”

Violet looked at where Jack’s line of sight was directed towards, it was her mother.

“Yes.”

Two men took a step forward and held her mother’s arms, one on each side.

“What is the meaning of this?!” Violet suddenly turned around. “I’m the person you want! This has nothing to do with my

mum!”

When she saw Jack’s fierce eyes, she felt so angry that she instantly threw a punch at him.

Jack caught her fist with his other hand.

When Violet felt the power of his palm, she knew that she was far from being his equal if she wanted to force her way through this. Additionally, he had his men with him.

Both of their eyes met once more. There was a clash of ominous and violent aura between them.

Chapter 4

“Vi!” Xayah was extremely agitated. “Mr. Yancey, please have mercy on our young Vil She’s a victim herself! She was abandoned by her father even before she was born, she has never experienced the love of a father, and yet she was captured as a bride substitute! This isn’t something she can quietly take!”

“Mum, don’t beg him!” Violet raised her voice. She did not want her mother to submit to them.

“Take her away!” Jack said angrily.

“Madam, this way please.” However, he still behaved like a gentleman.

“Vi!” Xayah was exceptionally worried about her daughter.

Violet was frantic. “Mum, you must take care of yourself! Don’t worry about me!”

“Vi…”

At that moment, Jack took a step towards the emergency halls and dragged Violet along with him. He was not giving her any opportunity to escape.

“If you harm a single strand of hair on my mother’s head, I will make you regret it!” Violet gave him a look full of hatred.

She then gritted her teeth and said, “I admit defeat now, but don’t you dare go overboard! Otherwise, I’ll make you pay with your life! You can try me if you don’t believe me!”

“Hmph, you talk big!” Jack gave a cold snort. This kid was too arrogant. “You should pray that my grandfather lives first. If he doesn’t, I’ll burn you to ashes!”

Violet’s stubborn face kept looking behind her as they walked. She saw them bringing her mother into the elevator.

She was furious, but not too worried.

Jack was not the type of person to harm someone who was innocent.

A man of his capability, who could manage a company to such great success, was definitely not scu m.

He was fundamentally a different man than who Theo Henry Yeager was.

Then, Violet was pulled to the emergency room.
