“Is that necessary?” Jack raised an eyebrow and narrowed his eyes. “If I got angry over such a little thing, wouldn’t I have died from the stress?”
Did it mean that he was not angry?
Then why had he turned and left?
It was often said that women were complicated. This man was pretty baffling as well!
“Alright, alright! Let’s go hiking, then!” Violet did not want to dampen the mood. “I’ll go up and change my clothes first, okay?”
She looked at him but he did not answer, nor did he shake her hand off, let alone show any intention of entering the living hall.
Violet regarded that as tacit approval.
Violet bounded into the living hall in large steps and headed upstairs.
Jack had instructed people to buy her clothes and shoes from the day she came to stay here. The outfits were all very chic from the perspective of a famous fashion designer. However, what she did not know was that there were microchips in the shoes. That was the reason why he allowed her to come in and out of the house freely.
Then, Violet got a bottle of water after she went downstairs.
She had a habit of always bringing a bottle of water whenever she went hiking because she got thirsty easily, especially when she reached the top of the mountain.
When Violet came to the courtyard, Jack was already sitting in the Maserati. She walked towards the car and saw that handsome face. His dark eyes were like diamonds in the night sky, shining enchantingly.
He was sitting in the driver’s seat. His gaze fell on her sparkling eyes and charming countenance. Her petite face reminded him of the way she had looked on that wedding day.
Violet came to the front passenger seat, opened the door, and got into the car on her own before fastening the seat belt.
“I just got a phone call. I need to go to the office,” Jack spoke softly with his eyes facing forward.
Violet, who had her hair in a high ponytail and had put on white sports shoes and sportswear, frowned and looked at him. “Are you messing around with me?”
“It won’t take too long. Or, you could go to the company with me first, and we’ll go hiking after that,” Jack suggested. He was a very honest person; he really had nothing else scheduled in the afternoon originally.
Since Violet was already in the car and had a change of attire, she did not want to alter her plans. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Then let’s go to your office!” She leaned back into the chair.
Jack started the car and drove out of the courtyard. There was no interaction between the two along the way.
Jack did not ask about her relationship with Jared anymore. She had basically helped with today’s matter. This was something that Jack would bear in mind.
Meanwhile, Violet did not inquire into her mother’s whereabouts. She knew that he would not mistreat her mother.
She had to deal with Theo Yeager and his people recently, so it may be a good idea not to have her mother by her side.
Violet believed in her own judgment, and she was quite accurate when it came to judging the character of other people. Jack was not the kind of president who was unreasonable and bossy; he was simply a lonely man. People like him were often the kindest.
Zoey had said that he had moved out for at least ten years, which meant that he was also an independent and self–reliant person.
To some extent, Violet felt that they were birds of a feather.
As she mulled in her thoughts, Violet turned to look at him and saw that he was holding the steering wheel with one hand and resting his other arm on the car window casually. There was not a single flaw on his gorgeous face, as though he was heaven’s most perfect work of art.
God was fair; he gave with one hand and takes with the other.
Were his parents divorced?
What about his mother? Had she ever loved him?

From the corners of his eyes, Jack could sense that she was staring at him. “Haven’t you seen enough?” His thin lips spoke softly and emotionlessly.
Violet hurriedly retracted her gaze; a light blush appeared on her cheeks.
After a while, the car windows began to rise as the car slowed down to a stop.
Violet realized that they had arrived at their destination. Was this the Yancey Group? Was this the most iconic building complex in the country?
The car stopped outside the main office building of the Yancey Group. Jack unfastened his seat belt and said, “Wait for me in the car.”
“Oh.”
He opened the door and got out. The moment he stepped out of the car, a staff member not far from them spotted the woman in the front passenger seat.
