“Fly?” Jack asked bluntly. “Have you grown wings?”
“Can you not take my words so literally?” Violet squinted at him, sounding slightly annoyed. “Are you going to let her go or
not?”
“You can’t leave.” He looked impertubable, speaking in a low and pleasant voice. “Theo Yeager won’t let you leave.”
“My legs aren’t attached to his body. Why do I need his permission?”
Jack turned and scrutinized her, contemplating something. “Looks like you don’t like to play games.”
“What does that mean?”
Jack laughed. “Grandpa is suppressing the Yeager Group. Theo doesn’t have any chance left to rebuild his company. If I’m not
mistaken, Theo Yeager will begin to get chummy with you.”
“I won’t accept it,” Violet said nonchalantly, “I don’t want to see him ever again.”
“That’s why I said you don’t like to play games.”
“What’s the point of getting chummy with me?” Violet was very disdainful. “Does he think I’ll accept that he had been absent from
my life for twenty years? Will a single apology from him make the hurt he caused my mother disappear? I’ll never forgive him for
as long as I live!”
Jack merely smiled knowingly.
to be the bigger person!”
“I’m not telling you to be the bigger person.” Jack smiled gently as he crossed his legs in a sophisticated manner. “But if I were
you, I would accept his goodwill.”
Violet turned to look at him bemusedly. “Tell me why.”
Seeing that she was willing to hear him out, Jack continued, “If it were me, I would move in with the Yeagers and take the
opportunity to torment the mother-daughter duo. Didn’t they rob you of everything you had? Reclaim it bit by bit.”
“Mother-daughter duo?” The main point caught Violet’s ears. “Isn’t Beryl dead?”
Jack’s lips curved up in the faintest of smirks. “She’s very much alive.”
Violet was shocked. “Alive? How do you know?”
“How I know, is not the main point,” Jack smiled and turned slightly to look at her. “I’m more curious about just how foolish she is.
There are way too many women in this world who want to crawl into my bed but she’s not willing to marry me, to the point of
faking a car accident. All that results in this mess the Yeagers are in now.”
“Don’t overestimate your own attractiveness,” Violet retorted. “People like you think you’re all that. You lose yourself very easily.” .
Nevertheless, Jack was not angry at all. In fact, his expression was gentle. “You seem to have digressed.”
Violet pondered and turned to ask him, “Do you know Theo well?”
“I hear things about him.”
“Do you think he’ll try to get friendly with me? He’ll regret what he did? Apologize?” Violet’s interest was suddenly piqued.
“Yes,” Jack affirmed confidently.
being friendly with me? He can’t get anything from me anyway.”
She hugged a cu shion and resumed watching the mouse and cat show with a serious look on her face.
Jack did not agree with her, however. She had a close bond with his grandfather. Theo could get Senior Yancey to spare him if
he earned Violet’s favor.
After a while, Violet spoke, “I think you should thank me, really. Think about it. If you had married Beryl, your good name and
reputation would have been ruined. Her mother’s a homewrecker, and the apple never falls far from the tree.”
“Do you know them well?” Jack asked.
Violet shook her head. “I don’t, I’ve never met them.”
“You need to know yourself as well as your enemy if you want to win a war. Let me give you some information.” Jack

seemed to become a different person, going into the topic with her unexpectedly. “Yvette West hasn’t obtained any assets for
herself at all throughout all these years, and neither has she upskilled herself in any way. She’s a very shallow woman who
thinks that she can win men’s hearts by maintaining her physical looks. So all she does is invest in her skincare. She does look
younger than other women her age but that’s all she is, eye candy without many inner qualities.”
“What about Beryl)” Violet was interested in her.
“What can you expect of her character when her mother is a trophy wife?” Jack said, “Theo has always been busy with work all
these years so he doesn’t care much about his family. He basically lets them do as they please. Beryl grew up watching and
listening to everything Yvette does so there’s not much between her ears.”
“Torment them? So we can tear them into shreds as soon as possible?” Suddenly, Violet was delighted. She no longer wanted to
leave!
