Chapter 709 News About Her (Part One)


    Hearing the young couple''s sweet dialogue, Derek and Amy exchanged nces and grinned together.


    "Violet, you bullied your brother as a kid, and now Greg is your target," Amy teased.


    "Auntie, my brother was a brat who sometimes needed to be kept in check for all his haughtiness. As


    for Greg," Violet echoed as she squinted at Greg,"he sometimes also bullies me."


    Without a word, Greg simply smiled. ''There is no need to retort. Her happiness is what I want, '' he


    thought to himself.


    "Now that you''ve spoken of your brother, I think he is the happiest fellow in the world," Derek cut in


    while eating.


    "Why do you say that, Uncle?" Violet asked, casting Derek a skeptical nce. ''Is there anything I don''t


    know about my brother?'' she wondered.


    "You father is focusing on exploiting the oversea market. And from the look of things, he''s doing it for


    your brother. When your brother inherits the JC Group, he''ll have all executive powers and no one will


    question his qualification," Derek exined. "Besides, your brother will turn 28 this year, right? Just the


    right age for him to get married and settle down in life and he has a solid educational background. To


    top it all, he is the rightful heir to the JC Group. I guess that lots of influential, wealthy families would


    give anything to marry off their daughters to your brother," he added.


    "Who knows?" Violet remarked with a dispassionate air. "What if my brother returns from abroad with


    his girlfriend?" she added, a hint of doubt registering on her face.


    Shaking his head, Derek disagreed,"That''s very unlikely. I know your brother." But his voice betrayed


    uncertainty.


    "Lawrence is an excellentd. I think so many girls would fall for him," Amy followed.


    "But Lawrence is particr about girls. I don''t think just any girl can win his heart," Derek remarked.


    ''Lawrence is as dutiful as his father, if not more. Jackson was not the kind of young man who dated


    many here and there. In fact, he wasn''t even interested in any woman. It only changed when he met


    Cherry. That was after a very long time. And ever since, he has cherished and adored her with


    undivided devotion, '' he reflected.


    Amy nodded in agreement.


    "Well, we''ll wait and see when hees back," Violet concluded. Speaking of Lawrence, she started


    missing him. She wondered when her brother would return.


    Fixing her gaze on Greg, Amy inquired,"When are you nning to go back to work, Greg? Now your


    wedding is over, and I hope you and our dear Violet have had quite a memorable honeymoon. I''m sure


    it''s time to go back to work, seeing there''s the whole world ahead for your new family," she said with


    gently parental concern.


    "I''ll get back in a couple of days," Greg replied.


    "It''s good to work in the hospital. You don''t have much pressure," Derek chipped in. ''I know Fred very


    well. And I have faith in his son. He must be a promising and goodd, '' he mused.


    "Yeah, I like my job," Greg replied.


    "Are you going to take over XS Hospital, Greg?" Derek asked suddenly.


    "Well, I haven''t considered that yet. My father manages it well, and I have no intentions of taking his


    ce yet," Greg answered. ''It''s not urgent to take over the hospital, as it stands. My top priority at the


    moment is reconstructive surgery to rid Violet of the scars on her body. It''s my dream, and I''m


    determined to achieve it at any cost. Once I make it, I will think about other matters, '' he had made up

    his mind.


    "I heard that you took management courses when you were abroad. I assume you have the n to


    take charge of the hospital some day, don''t you?" Derek asked.


    "Yes, I do. My father mentioned this to me, so I utilized my spare time to acquire some relevant skills.


    But it''s not something in my immediate ns now," Greg answered. He didn''t want to give any specific


    reply about something he hadn''t considered yet. At present, his wife meant everything to him. She had


    his undivided attention and he was willing to do anything for her.


    "Well, that sounds good. You can work in the hospital and umte more experience," Derek replied


    with a nod.


    "Well, well, the food is getting cold," Amy said to the men. She then turned to Violet. "And have more of


    this, Violet," she said softly while adding food to her te.


    "Thank you, Auntie," Violet said politely as she added another serving to her te.


    "Eat some more, my dear child, please," Amy tenderly urged, as she filled his te.


    "I will. Thank you, Auntie," Greg replied smiling.


    After they finished the meal, Derek invited Greg to the study while Violet and Amy sat on the balcony


    for some chitchat.


    When the newlyweds finally arrived at their apartment, it was already dark. Sitting on the lounge, Violet


    snuggled into Greg''s arms and listened to the breaths of Greg.


    "Greg," Violet began sweetly.


    "Yes, dear," responded Greg.


    "Could we visit Uncle Wilson tomorrow?" suggested Violet, looking up at Greg.


    "Okay," Greg nodded wistfully,"True. We should. Although we haven''t held a wedding ceremony, we


    need to visit close rtives for formal introductions."


    "Exactly. I lived in Uncle Wilson''s house, grandpa and grandma are fond of me. Besides, Aunt Selina


    and I have always been best friends. She''s that one person with whom I''d share all my secrets," Violet


    said heartily. At the thought of her shrewd aunt, she couldn''t help but feel happy and grateful. Staying


    with Selina had saved Violet many unpleasant things. Thanks to care,pany, and encouragement


    from her loving aunt, Violet had led a happy life these years.


    "Is that so?" Greg asked on purpose. Slowly he lowered his head to get his face got closer to his


    beautiful wife''s. "So is there anything I don''t know about you?" he asked with a smirk.


    "No, there isn''t. You know all my secrets," Violet replied. Reading Greg''s mind, she stretched out and


    put her hand between her face and Greg''s.


    "If you have any secrets, you better let me know. Otherwise," Greg said in an overbearing manner. He


    drew nearer and whispered in his lovely wife''s ear,"I will eat you."


    "Well, stop joking," Violet returned bashfully. Her husband''s tantalizing words made her flesh creep.


    Afterposing herself, she began,"But..."
