“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.
“Why are you smiling?” Violet gave him an unhappy look. “You’re not in my shoes, you don’t understand how I feel! Don’t tell me 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.
Violet’s face changed. “I won’t soften my heart. People like him deserve to be punished for what they did! What’s the point of being friendly with me? He can’t get anything from me anyway.”
