Chapter 12
They looked at each other face to face. Her eyes, resembling black grapes, was filled with doubt. He
could not see her,
could he?
To confirm, the girl bravely lifted her hand and waved it gently in front of his eyes once more.
The gentle movement of the air caused Jack’s expression to turn steely. He grabbed her delicate wrist
with a single move.
“Ah!”
Violet was yanked toward his body. She almost fell into his arms because she had lost her balance.
“I let you go just now but you didn’t. So, you can’t leave even if you want to now,” Jack spoke in a crisp
and cool voice.
He then opened the door to the front passenger seat and pulled her toward him!
How could he let her go when she had suspicions about his sight now?
“Hey!” Violet almost fell from the force. He dragged her forcefully from the driver’s seat over to the front
passenger seat before hauling her out of the car.
“Hey! Slow down!” It was fortunate that she was not wearing high heels, or she would have definitely
twisted her ankle.

His footsteps were brisk.
Violet’s heart sank. “What are you doing? Let me go!” He would not kill her to shut her up, would he?
Jack could estimate the distance although he was blind. After all, this was his home. He was familiar
with it.
All these years, he had never slacked in practicing ways to keep his composure as well as his hearing
ability so that he could cover up his condition.
Violet turned to look at him. He brought her to the front doors of the living hall. Could he actually see?
“Verification has been successfully completed. Welcome home.”
The tightly shut doors responded to the sound they made and swung open without Jack having to do
anything. Was there facial recognition?
The entire mansion lit up as bright as day the moment the doors opened. There was no need to press a
single switch.
Jack brought Violet to the middle of the living room, and the front doors closed automatically.
He released her and put both hands into the pockets of his trousers, looking at her. Then, he headed
toward the bar…
Violet was surprised at how quietly luxurious the living hall looked. The furnishings seemed low-key
and were not extravagant at all.
In actual fact, every piece of furniture and decoration was luxurious and quite tasteful.
His home matched a man of his position.
After a short while, Violet saw Jack take out a bottle of whiskey and a wine glass.
He poured some of the liquor into the glass and walked to the sofa before sitting down, swirling the
glass in his hand nonchalantly.
Violet kept watching him. He was not blind at all.
However, back in the car… It had been obvious that he was blind.
He would have never allowed her to drive such a luxurious and exorbitantly priced car if he could see,
what more put his precious life in her hands.
Violet trusted her instincts. Could it be intermittent blindness?
“Tell me, what are you thinking?” Jack’s thin lips moved gently. In actual fact, he could already guess
her answer.
Violet moved into his line of sight. Jack smirked and asked in a light voice, “Do you still wish to see
your mother?” It was a playful tone.
“What do you mean?” Violet furrowed her eyebrows and spoke slightly emotionally, “Your grandfather
has recovered and you’ve brought me out here yourself. What else do you want? Whatever happened
between us should have been settled by now, yes?”
Jack looked away casually and took a sip of his liquor. He then parted his lips slightly to speak, “You

shouldn’t. Do you think it’s settled?”
So… Was this an admission from him?
“I don’t know. I don’t know anything,” Violet straightened her back and said in a stubborn, matter-of-fact
tone.
Nevertheless, Jack knew that she was not a typical woman.
After a while…
“Where’s my mother?” Violet looked at him.
Jack’s countenance darkened. Throughout the past years, Samantha Ziegler had never stopped trying
to pick a fight with
him.
If she knew that he was sick with such a strange disease, she definitely would not sit still.
This was his kryptonite. No one else knew about this other than his confidant, Michael Sullivan. Not
even his grandfather
was aware.
So, how could he let this girl off so easily now that she had become the second person to learn of this?
The survivability of the Yancey Group was at stake.
