After Jack entered the room, he fixed his eyes on Armand and looked Armand up and down.

At this time, this middle-aged man became a little funny in Jack’s eyes.

“Uncle Armand,” Jack said considerately, “if you’re sick, take a good rest at the hospital. Don’t worry about the company affairs. I have already helped with the handover.”

“Handover?” Armand repeated that word in his heart and turned to look at Jack.

Jack gently put a piece of paper on the bedside table and said again, “This is your resignation report. I have signed and sealed it. From now on, you can take a good rest at the hospital.”

Armand was shocked.

Samantha’s heart also sank suddenly.

“I’m just taking sick leave! What reason do you have to fire me?” Armand looked at Jack with dissatisfaction and said, “Did I make any mistakes in my work? I was arranged to join the company by Mr. Josef Yancey! He’s the one who qualifies to fire me!”

Jack didn’t care about Armand’s discontent at all.

”

He didn’t want to argue as well, but suddenly he added leisurely as if he had remembered something, “By the way, you can’t work in this condition, but you have a family to support. Out of humanitarian, I decided to give you fixed living expenses every month so that you can take a good rest in relief.”

“You…” Armand was so angry that his chest hurt.

Samantha hurriedly stepped forward to hold him and comfort him. “Armand…” She glanced at Armand worriedly and then turned her eyes to Jack, while saying, “Jack, Armand is just asking for a sick leave.

Do you have to act like this? Isn’t sick leave allowed in your company?”

“We all know well whether he’s sick or not. Do you want me to make it clear?” Jack smiled slightly and continued, “I’ve seen the attending doctor. Even such a developed hospital can’t identify the cause of the disease. Is he really sick? Then tell me about his illness.”

Samantha was speechless. Then, some emotion flashed across her eyes and she asked, “Did you instruct Violet to do this?”

Jack stopped smiling and looked at her coldly, saying, “Do you have proof of this?”

Samantha was stunned by Jack’s gaze, and the temperature of her whole body seemed to have dropped by two degrees suddenly.

Jack just looked at her with a warning in his cold eyes.

Jack knew that Samantha had called Violet. And judging from Violet’s tone when she was answering the phone in the hospital corridor, Jack was aware that Samantha wanted to make trouble for Violet.

And this made Jack very upset.

Samantha didn’t know what he meant. She saw Jack pursing his thin lips like a blade with displeasure.

Then Jack turned around and left.

Armand was so angry that his hands hanging on both sides clenched into fists.

“Armand…” Samantha let go of him, took the resignation report, and tore it up directly, saying, “He’s been thinking of removing you from the company for a long time! Now he finally got an opportunity.”

Actually, Armand’s heart hurt more than Samantha’s.

Over the years, he had paved connections for Liam step by step. As long as Liam joined the company and got recognized by Josef, they could get what they wanted pretty soon.

Armand sat down at the edge of the bed, and his heart sank to the bottom. He knew that since Jack had made this decision, there was no room for maneuver.

“Armand,” Samantha threw away the resignation report and said, “I’ll go back and talk to Josef!”

Armand raised his eyes and said, “What can you say? Mr. Josef Yancey already knows about this, and you’ve been involved in my attack on Violet as well. He is still mad at us. It’s good that he didn’t make trouble for us. How can we expect him to help us?”

Samantha instantly sobered up and asked, “So what should we do? Will we just let Jack do anything he wants?”

Armand was speechless.

He didn’t know what to do. His body was getting itchier and extremely uncomfortable.

“I’ll have to survive first.” Armand took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and continued, “Find someone to detoxicate the poison first. This was what he wanted to do most at present.

Thinking of Violet, Samantha was still angry and said crossly, “I’ll go find her! I’ve found out where she lives.” There was hatred in her eyes as if she wanted to tear Violet into pieces.

Armand was absent-minded. He was kicked out of the Yancey Group by Jack where he had worked for more than 20 years.

It sounded beautiful that he was asked to leave the company so that he could take a good rest.

But all his effort became in vain now…

In a ward downstairs, Charlotte opened her eyes. The first person she saw was Michael who stood in front of the bed like a

statue.

They looked at each other. Charlotte frowned and said, “Poker face, why are you staring at me like this? Haven’t you met a beautiful woman before?”

“We haven’t seen each other for two years. Can you stop calling me that, Ms. Yancey?” said Michael.

Charlotte sat up and looked around, asking, “Where’s Violet?”

“She left.”

“What? Has she already left?” Charlotte said regretfully, “I haven’t added her on WhatsApp yet.”

“Did she hit you?”

“No.” She said, “I drove too fast and didn’t fasten the seat belt as well. I was fully responsible. It’s none of her business.”

“Then why do you want to add her on WhatsApp?”

“Because I like her!” Charlotte looked up at him and blurted out, “She is very kind. Didn’t you notice that? Time is money. She had no responsibility and I wasn’t seriously injured as well, but she still sent me to the hospital.”

Michael thought, “Like her? She is kind?”

Michael was in a daze for a moment. He didn’t expect Charlotte to have such a good first impression of Violet.

“Did she really leave?”

“Yes.”

A trace of regret flashed in Charlotte’s eyes. After a while, she smiled and said, “We’ll see each other if we’re destined to. I’ll stay in Sayside City for a long time anyway!”

It was dusk.

A car was parked in the courtyard in front of Violet’s villa. Except for Samantha, four strong men got out of the car.

Obviously, Samantha was prepared.

On the stairs, Violet in a long dress saw this scene through the floor-to-ceiling window. Her eyes slightly darkened and she didn’t stop walking downstairs.

When Violet stepped down the last stairs, Samantha took her men to the living room.

The four men stood behind Samantha with cold faces. Samantha stepped forward and slapped Violet, which caught Violet by surprise.

“Give me the antidote!” Samantha raised her voice and looked domineering, taking the upper hand.

Violet was slapped in the face, and she didn’t expect it at all.

She frowned and said coldly, “Do you want to be poisoned as well?”

To be honest, Samantha was scared, but she sneered, “You are a witch! What do you think will happen if Josef and the outsiders know that you can use venomous insects?” Her arrogant tone was full of threats.

Violet looked at her indifferently and asked faintly, “Are you courting death?”

Samantha took out her phone and gently pressed it. Their conversation just now was played…

Violet listened patiently, and something flashed in her eyes.

Samantha said proudly, “I’ve recorded it. You are a witch. Once this audio is handed over to the media, you should know

the consequences.”

Violet stood in front of her, still looking indifferent.

Violet’s words “Do you want to be poisoned as well” were the key.

It was tantamount to her admitting it.

“You are scared, right?” Samantha was also ruthless. She put away her phone and looked like a winner, saying, “If so, give me the antidote!”
