Chapter 67

“There are many things in this world that cannot be explained by science. Animals have their own languages because they also have life.” Violet’s dark eyes were shining. “Every creature has a spirit.

They won’t harm you as long as you don’t harm them.”

“Why do you understand the language of snakes?”

Violet answered truthfully. “I learned it by chance.”

Jack’s impression of her changed. She was not what she seemed on the outside.

They reached the top of the mountain. There was lush green grass beneath their feet and a weather–

beaten pavilion in the middle. No trees blocked their view. Lovely, colorful unnamed wildflowers grew everywhere, releasing a floral fragrance into the air whenever the mountain breeze blew through them.

The two of them stood against the wind and faced the bustling big city. All that was missing was sunlight.

“Are snakes the only creatures you can communicate with? What about other animals?” Jack asked her.

“It’s a secret!”

Jack threw her a glance and stopped asking.

It felt so good to stand against the wind on the top of the mountain and enjoy the bird’s eye view. They seemed to have achieved enlightenment about everything in front of them.

“I haven’t gone on a hike for a long time.” Violet brought her phone out and took two selfies of herself.

“What about you?”

Jack stood with his hands behind his back. “It’s been a while.” Looking at the distant city, his eyes were deep and filled with thought.

Armand was a calm person on the surface. However, he was not a carefree man as a matter of fact. He had never made any obvious mistakes in his work. Jack could not fire him because his grandfather had given Armand a place in the company from the start. Nonetheless, Jack knew that Armand being in the company was a ticking timebomb.

Samantha’s intentions had always been transparent. She wanted her son, Liam Yancey, to be the president of the Yancey Group. Be that as it may, she put up an obedient front. Even Senior Yancey liked her.

“Hey, what are you thinking about?” Violet stood beside him. She threw him a glance; he was so striking!

Jack returned to his senses, “I’m wondering who you really are.”

“Huh?” She was startled. She contemplated his words. “What do you mean? Wanna expose my past, huh?*

“You have more than one name, don’t you?” Without averting his gaze, he asked in an aloof tone. “Your Lirunese name starts with A, yes? What is it?”

“Why are you even bothered about this?” Violet smiled and returned to playing with her phone. “Is this important? We aren’t even close!”

“I’ve investigated your background before,” Jack said truthfully, “But I didn’t find anything.”

Violet smiled. “Are you doubting your own ability now? Is it possible that there are things you can’t find out?”

Jack gave a light cough. He raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose. “Forget it, then, if you don’t want to tell me. I don’t like to be kept hanging.”

“Are we close?” Violet glanced at him, speaking light–heartedly. “My mother is still in your hands.

Despite her words, she was not angry.

Jack turned and fixed his on her fair and exquisite face. She was rather pretty despite not having any make–up on, giving off a pristine image.

A gust of wind rushed past them, causing their clothes to flutter about. Violet’s hair blew around her face and was messed up, adding to her charm.

At that moment, Violet spotted a piece of news on her cell phone. Her jaw dropped.

“My goodness! Why did Jared do this?”

Jack tensed up as soon as he heard Jared’s name. He took the phone from her hurriedly and was filled with astonishment when he saw the message on the screen.

Jared had not updated his Tweeter profile in thousands of years. Today, he had finally posted something- a congratulatory message for Jack and Violet!

11:48 “Jared doesn’t like posting on Tweeter…” Violet muttered to herself in wonderment. “This misunderstanding has really blown up.”

Jack had not expected that; he had thought that it was a problem with the billion–dollar deal. Therefore, he sighed in relief and let go of the suspense in his heart.

He was a lot more composed compared to Violet, who was feeling agitated and anxious. “How am I supposed to get a girlfriend now? I’m a deeply loyal guy, the kind who settles down after getting into his first relationship.”
