Chapter 21 Violet went straight to the point. “Let me call my mother if you want me to speak with him properly” It was clear from her tone of voice that she was not open to negotiation. The phone was still ringing. It was Jack’s grandfather, Jack nodded, staring at her with his deep eyes, “Accept the call” She took the phone and slid her finger across the slide-to-answer har before activating the loudspeaker “Hi, grandpa” Violet smiled and said sweetly. “Violet, have you gone to bed?” The old man’s kind voice came out from the phone, Jack rubbed his temples. This was a headache for him. “Nope. Is there something I can help you with?” Violet’s soft and gentle voice made her sound like a duniful girl “The cherry blossoms have bloomed. I’d like to go and admire them with you” Her face was colorful with bruises… Violet smiled, “Oh. I’m a lile busy rec C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“Are you rejecting me?” Senior Yancey was not happy, “No, no,” Violet explained, “Not reject, just that. Well.. Can we go after some time?” “How many days would that be?”It was not easy to brush off Senior Yancey, “Give me a number, I’ll be counting down the days.” Violet peeped at the man sitting on the couch from the corners of her eyes. His eyes, which sla nted upwards sliguly, were quite piercing. After some thought, she answered, “Ten days” It would probably take that long for her face to heal. Also, the old man might even forget about this after ten days. “Alright,” Senior Yancey agreed readily, “Then I’ll get Jack to fetch you after ten days” Saying this, he hung up Every word fell upon Jack’s ears. He lifted his chin up slightly with his hand, watching the girl with deep, quict eyes, Violet stretched her hand towards him. Her smile was gone; in place was a stern expression, “Call your
men and give me your phone!” she demanded firmly, He scrutinized her as he deliberated some thoughts. Suspicion grew in his heart. “How did you wrap my grandfather around your little finger?” “Looks like you two have been bonding quite well over the week” he said. “Because you are Jack Yancey” Violet smiled at him. “This is a small matter. You wouldn’t destroy your integrity over this This response was rather… satisfactory, Violet continued, “I’m sure competency is not the only reason the Yancey Group has been consistently ranking numer one globally, Integrity is especially important to the Yanceys, isn’t ?” Jack put his notebook computer down and leaned back against his chair gently, “You seem to know something” She smiled. “That’s what your grandfather said” “Looks like he really treats you like family” There was a chill in his expression. He could not help bu feel worried Violet kept her hand stretched out whilst she stared at him. “Give me your phone! “Stay away from my grandfather” he said co olly. It was as good as a warning “Or no one will come to your rescue when you get trapped” “Give me your phone” Violet repeated. She was exhausted. All she wanted to do was make the call and go to bed There was no time to waste, Jack took out his phone and dialed a number casually before putting the phone to his car “Mr. Yancey” These were just two simple words, but they were spoken with respect and awe “Is she asleep? Her daughter wants to speak with her” said Jack solly Violer’s eyes kept coming back to him. His entire rexistence was the epitome of allluence and coldness, be alon Fanded a 1/2 Chapter 21
