Chapter 770 Helping Roger Out (Part Two)
"Why do you want to help Roger Gu?" Francis asked.
"He helped me before," Violet answered." And I want to return the favor."
"What did he do to help you?" Francis kept asking, because he wanted to know everything about her,
her life, her heart, and so on.
"He was once hit by a car to save me. Besides, he, as my boss, also helped me a lot when I worked for
him, so I want to help him in return." Violet unveiled everything in her heart to Francis. Although it could
be risky, she wanted to remain honest before him.
"It seems that he''s special to you," Francis said, with a smile on his face. He had already done his
research on the GR Group on Carol and on Roger. The GR Group remained as a medium-sized
corporations in the city. Carol''s firm and frank manner of doing business in addition to her admirable
business ingenuity made her one of the top female business leaders. If not for Selina, she could have
been the queen of the city. As for Roger, he was popr. Everyone, including his peers, his elders as
well as other business people, thought highly of him. This was mainly owing to his being well-educated
and his being earnest and responsible. Besides, being raised under the care of Carol, he didn''t grow up
to be a yboy. Instead, he was serious in his rtionships, neither closely rting with popr stars,
nor hanging around red light districts. Therefore, Roger was a good candidate to be a reliable friend.
However, Francis didn''t regard him as possible business partner. Roger might be too nice to be
sessful. He wasn''t cruel and ambitious enough. These were traits that contribute to achievements in
business.
Violet didn''t know how to respond to Francis, so she just changed the topic back to what she originally
intended. "Mr. An, will you help the GR Group?"
Gazing at Violet, Francis didn''t answer her question, although he was thinking of the possibility.
"Today''s news wasn''t all true. Tina is not that kind of woman as the news portrayed. She''s a good girl,
better than what the news reported. What''s more, shopping malls of the GR Group run well. People like

the GR Group and are loyal to it." Violet put in a good word for thepany in spite of conflicts
between her and Tina. Violet would still risk everything to help Roger and the GR Group. When Violet
recalled that moment when Roger got injured in order to save her, she decided that she would take any
humiliation if that meant helping him.
"Violet, I heard of your husband''s family background. Although his family is more renowned in the
medicalmunity, their influence is beyond that, isn''t it? He might also be of help to Roger Gu. By the
way," Francis paused then continued. "Your family is also powerful. Isn''t Selina Lu one of your
rtives? Do you know that she and Carol are in bad terms? What will she do? How will she react if
she found out that you are helping Carol''s family?"
"My aunt Selina deserves better than your words! Please don''t speak of my family like that." Irritated by
what Francis said, Violet raised her voice at him.
Astounded by her sudden change of behavior, Francis had no idea what to do next. He just stood
there, in front of Violet, without a word.
There was nothing but silence in the office for a while as Violet calmed herself down.
"I''m sorry." Violet finally said.
Francis remained silent. He already knew about Violet for he had looked her up and conducted some
investigations. He was still shocked by how protective she was when it came to family. What he had
learned, was that Violet was affectionate like Cindere among the rich. That proved true today. She
was indeed less indifferent, unlike other girls from upper-ss families.
"If you are unwilling to help, then I''m sorry that I bothered you. I''ll leave now. Thank you for your time,"
Violet said and turned to leave.
Francis immediately grabbed her hand before she walked out. He then pulled her closer until she stood
in front of him, face to face. Looking at Violet, Francis said,"I will help Roger Gu, but under one
condition."
Violet was both surprised and overjoyed when she heard what Francis just said.
"What...what do you want?" Violet asked. To get his help, she was happy toply to his requirement,
as long as it was within her means.
"Stay with me." Francis said with determination. He gazed at Violet. She could read from his eyes that
he wasn''t joking and he really wanted Violet to be by his side.
Violet''s eyes popped in astonishment. What...what did he just say?
It took a while for Violet to process what Francis just said. He just made an impossible requirement!
She stammered,"I...I''m married."
"I know. I know your husband is Greg." Francis was grinning. "What I meant about staying with me is
that we be close friends. Would you like to be a good friend of mine?"
Violet, without any simr experience in her entire life, was shocked that this was exactly what Francis
wanted.
"Friends?" Violet repeated the word.
"Yeah, we are just acquaintances now. You don''t even take me as a friend, right? Now I do you a favor
and then we be friends. That''s all I want. By the way, it''s not a deal. I''ll do it all from my heart."
Francis seemed quite genuine.
Violet finally believed him and was relieved. She said,"Oh okay, now I get it."
"Great! So how do we go from here? Are we friends now?" Francis asked.
"Well, to be honest, I don''t know you at all and I have no idea if you are good or bad." Violet revealed
her worries. All her friends were reliable. Would Francis be a reliable friend? She was not sure about
that.
"What? So now you think I''m a bad guy?" Francis asked, surprised. It never came to his mind that
others would think of him as bad!
