Chapter 44

It was soon time for breakfast.

Samantha was next to Senior Yancey when Lily came to notify them that breakfast was ready. Both of them headed for the dining hall, with the old man clutching his dragonhead cane.

Meanwhile, in Goldbay Estate.

Jack was already done with breakfast. He noticed that the bruise next to Violet’s mouth was looking much better. “Get the chauffeur to send you if you want to head out.” After saying these peculiar words, he took his coat from Zoey, turned around, and left.

Before Violet could reply, she saw that he had already gone out from the living hall.

The Maserati in the courtyard was soon driven away.

He had always acted aloof, but Violet felt it was rather cute now. Even the chauffeur was hers to freely avail?

The more she saw Jack, the less she hated him. She used to feel that he was haughty and cold, but he seemed like a normal person to her now. Actually, that was not true. He was a person with an illness.

Whatever it was, her previous opinions about him had been completely undone by the time they had spent together over the past few days.

His existence seemed to defy the course of nature; he was already at the helm of the world’s greatest financial group at such a young age. However, he had his gentle side, despite the power and influences he possessed.

Her phone rang. It was an unknown number.

Violet deliberated before stretching her hand over the slide-to-answer bar. “Hello.”

“Is this Violet?”

An unfamiliar woman’s melodious voice sounded out.

“You are…”

“I’m Mrs. Yeager. Yvette West. I’d like to meet with you.”

Violet rolled her eyes while standing at the doorway. She had expected Theo Yeager to contact her.

Instead, this homewrecker was the one who had called her. She was not doing this under Theo’s instructions, was she?

“Is there anything we can’t say on the phone?” Violet’s voice was nonchalant; she was reluctant to pay her any attention.

“I think it’s better if we talk in person. Don’t worry, it won’t take up much of your time.” The other woman had an earnest and sincere attitude.

Violet contemplated it. “Alright then.” She had nothing else to do anyway. Perhaps it would be entertaining to meet this trophy wife.

“How about ten o’clock? I’ll send the address to your phone.”

“Sure,” Violet looked down and fiddled with her thumbs. She had not given this woman a good look at the wedding.

After she hung up the call, Violet felt that Jack was a master predictor. How did he know that she would be going out?

She went back in front of the mirror and saw that the bruise by her lips had faded a lot. Violet dabbed on some foundation to conceal it; the result was rather effective. Then, she made herself up. Violet may not be a bimbo but she could not let one show her up!

“Zoey, I’m going out for a while.” Violet came out with her purse. “I’ll be back for lunch!”

“Get the chauffeur to send you,” Zoey said. She was concerned.

“I think I can go alone.” Violet beamed. “I know how to drive!” Saying this, she walked out.

Zoey did not have enough time to stop her.

The chauffeur opened the car door for her in the courtyard. However, Violet said, “I want to drive myself there.”

He looked at her. This was a real predicament for him.

“Don’t worry, I won’t drive off and steal this car,” Violet said, “I can run but I can’t hide; it would only be a matter of time before Jack catches me. This is his territory, and he still has my mother.” The moment she finished speaking, she pushed the car door to close it and walked around the car to get to the driver’s seat. After opening the door, she got in immediately.

The chauffeur did not dare to stop her at all. Violet buckled up her safety belt and quickly started the engine.

The only thing the chauffeur could do was take his phone out hurriedly and dial the president’s number.

“Mr. Yancey! Miss Yeager is driving off herself!”

“Do you know where she’s going?” Jack asked coldly from the other end of the line.

“I don’t know, she didn’t say, but she said she’ll be back.”

“Let her go,” Jack said in a low but smooth voice.

The chauffeur felt relieved after hearing those words from the president. “Alright.”
