Chapter 28
Was it that serious? Jack had not expected this.
“But you don’t have to worry, I’ve given her some medicine. She’ll be fine,” Zachary spoke in a gentle voice. He then inquired out of bemusement, “Why is she at your house? Is she your girlfriend?” Zachary would be happy for Jack if she was. He was his friend, after all.
“Not yet, and not ever.” Jack was straight to the point. “Thanks, Dr. Gordon.”
“Don’t mention it.” The man on the other end of the phone call then advised, “Your grandfather seems to like her a lot. She’s quite pretty too. Most importantly, she has an attitude.” He knew about the wedding as well.
“Attitude? Hoho,” Jack said sarcastically. “You’re really bored, aren’t you? Wanna come and take a seat in my office?”
“Nope. Maybe next time. Bye.”
Zachary hung up.
Jack held his phone thoughtfully in his hand. Then, he called his house’s landline number.
“Mr. Yancey,” Zoey answered the call. She spoke warmly.
Jack took a sip of coffee and asked co olly, “Has that woman left?”

“She has left,” Zoey replied. She then added, “Your grandfather has brought her back to the old manor.”
What? Jack was astounded.
“Is there anything else, Mr. Yancey?” Zoey asked.
“Nothing more,” he said nonchalantly before ending the call.
Zoey knew he was upset. She was upset as well; Miss Yeager should have refused Senior Yancey’s invitation instead of adding to the president’s problems.
Zoey had her own opinion regarding this young woman due to the incident at the wedding.
The Yancey Group, in the president’s office.
Footsteps sounded from the doorway. It was Michael.
He was wearing his long, black trench coat, with the collars upturned. His hair was tied down in a neat ponytail, and he took fast and steady strides whenever he walked.
Jack turned around as Michael came to him with his report. “Mr. Yancey, the madam is coming back. She’ll be disembarking her flight in three hours.”
“Do something for me first,” Jack furrowed his eyebrows slightly and said in a calm demeanor. “Fetch Violet from the old manor and send her back to my place.”
Michael was startled. “She’s at the old manor?”
“Yes, my grandfather brought her there.” Jack seemed to be turning something over in his mind.
“Alright, I’m going there now.” Michael turned around and left.
Jack held himself in a ramrod-straight posture. He gazed out the window with quiet eyes that were as unfathomable as the deep oceans.
He did not want Violet and Samantha Ziegler to make any contact with each other. He was going to ensure that this did not happen
Michael had also realized the gravity of the situation. Thus, picking Violet up was now his number one priority. Upon reaching the first floor, he immediately got into his car and drove off.
The old manor had been constructed on a man-made island. The only way to get to it was across the causeway, past the guards stationed at the entrance. It was a heavily guarded location.
