    “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, contemting something. “Looks like you don’t like to y games.”


    “What does that mean?”


    Jackughed. “Grandpa is suppressing the Yeager Group. Theo doesn’t have any chance left to rebuild


    hispany. If I’m not mistaken, Theo Yeager will begin to get chummy with you.”


    “I won’t ept it,” Violet said nonchntly, “I don’t want to see him ever again.”


    “That’s why I said you don’t like to y games.”


    “What’s the point of getting chummy with me?” Violet was very disdainful. “Does he think I’ll ept 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 ept 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? Reim 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 ident. 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.”


    She hugged a cu shion and resumed watching the mouse and cat show with a serious look on her


    face.


    Jack did not agree with her, however. She had a close bond with his grandfather. Theo could get Senior


    Yancey to spare him if he earned Violet’s favor.


    After a while, Violet spoke, “I think you should thank me, really. Think about it. If you had married Beryl,


    your good name and reputation would have been ruined. Her mother’s a homewrecker, and the apple


    never falls far from the tree.”


    “Do you know them well?” Jack asked. Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Violet shook her head. “I don’t, I’ve never met them.”


    “You need to know yourself as well as your enemy if you want to win a war. Let me give you some


    information.” Jack

    seemed to be a different person, going into the topic with her unexpectedly. “Yvette West hasn’t


    obtained any assets for herself at all throughout all these years, and neither has she upskilled herself in


    any way. She’s a very shallow woman who thinks that she can win men’s hearts by maintaining her


    physical looks. So all she does is invest in her skincare. She does look younger than other women her


    age but that’s all she is, eye candy without many inner qualities.”


    “What about Beryl)” Violet was interested in her.


    “What can you expect of her character when her mother is a trophy wife?” Jack said, “Theo has always


    been busy with work all these years so he doesn’t care much about his family. He basically lets them


    do as they please. Beryl grew up watching and listening to everything Yvette does so there’s not much


    between her ears.”


    “Torment them? So we can tear them into shreds as soon as possible?” Suddenly, Violet was delighted.


    She no longer wanted to leave!
