Chapter 54
Chapter 54 Violet saw the cars come to a halt in front of the mansion. The car doors opened at the same time. Other than Michael and Jack, there were two other familiar faces she had not seen for a long time. She held her breath and sat up hurriedly, looking at the two men in astonishment. Were Jared and his assistant Jack’s important guests? Heavens! What a coincidence! Jared stood next to the car after getting out and surveyed the vast courtyard. “A very good location. You’ve paid much attention to the details of the layout of the landscape. The view is beautiful. I read online that there’s an electric web in this courtyard, is that true?” He lowered his gaze toward the green grass under his feet. Jack gave a small smile and explained patiently, “There are a lot of exaggerations on the internet, but yes, we do have an electric web. Three layers of security alarm systems have been installed here. There is no way for an outsider to come in.” “The world’s smartest home. I finally have the chance to see it with my own eyes.” Jared’s delight pleased Jack; it showed on his face. “Advanced technology meets home living in exquisite unity. I’m afraid that this is the only place where it can reach its maximum potential, Mr. Yancey?” Michael handed a lapel pin each to Jared and his assistant. “Please put these on.” “Thank you.” They did as he requested after accepting the pins from him. “This is our microchip pin, which we manufacture in-house,” Jack explained, “You may adjust certain settings according to your preferences, such as the room temperature, brightness of the lights, music, as well as television programs. Information pertaining to your visit is stored on the computer. The sensors on the floor follow you wherever you go. A visitor without a pin would be identified as an intruder by the system, triggering the computer to call the police via the internet automatically.”
Jared nodded with a chuckle. He was fascinated by the concept of a smart home. Jack stood in the warm breeze and continued to clarify, “If anything goes wrong with the first layer of security, another set of facilities will be automatically activated. We have three sets.” Jared looked at him and gave him a pat on the shoulder. “We can have more exchanges of ideas and
information regarding this in the future. I’m intrigued by all this, and you’re always doing research in this field of study. You’re an expert.” “I’m still learning as much as I can, actually,” Jack was modest. “Come in, let’s talk over coffee.” Just as Jared took a step forward to follow him into the living hall, he lifted his coincidentally and saw the girl on the second-floor balcony. eyes Their eyes met briefly. Jared was slightly stunned, but he did not stop walking. What a familiar face. Was he seeing things? 1/2 11:08 Chapter 54 The four men entered the living hall and soon disappeared from Violet’s sight. Violer was dumbfounded as well. Had Jared seen her? She slowly laid down in the rattan chair, bathing in the sunlight as she descended into deep thought. Should she go downstairs and greet this old friend of hers? Alas, Jack had forbidden her from leaving the second floor. In the living hall downstairs, Zoey had prepared tea for the guests. Everyone took their seats on the couches, “Mr. Yancey, there’s a girl upstairs. Is she a robot?” Jared inquired with interest. Jack looked at him quietly. He had not noticed Violet just now. Was she on the balcony? “Is she a robot?” Jared asked again. Jack replied softly. “Not a robot” Jared spoke with a warm expression, “May I meet her?” This was a total curveball… Jack could not refuse his guest. In addition, the contract had not been signed. Thus, Jack turned to Michael. “Go and get her” Michael nodded and headed upstairs.
On the couches in the living hall, Jared and Jack discussed smart homes, what the future held, as well as relevant matters pertaining to the potential partnership between the two parties. Michael reached the second-floor and went into the parlor. He immediately saw Violet, who was lying in the chair on the balcony. He walked toward her. Hearing his footsteps, Violet inclined her head to take a gander at him. The man with the cold, imperturbable face and black trenchcoat was standing firmly before her. “Miss Yeager,” Michael looked down at her. “What are you doing here?” There was a hint of blame in his cool voice. 2/2NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
