Chapter 111


    Beryl gently retracted her hand from Jane, concealing a hint of mncholy in her gaze. She remained


    silent and assisted Yvette with cleaning up, and Jane promptly joined. In truth, everyone was


    experiencing an underlying sense of unease.


    After a while, some new furniture arrived, which appeared to be of high-end quality at first nce.


    “The furniture here is not broken. Why does it need recing? It is not cheap, right?” one ser vant


    murmured.


    “Isn’t it for weing Ms. Violet Yeager?” asked another.


    “Whose idea is this? Is this an order from Ms. Violet Yeager? There’s no need to rece it at all,”


    chimed in some other ser vants.


    “I think it is Mr. Yeager’s idea,” one ser vant put forward her opinion.


    “Don’t call her Ms. Violet Yeager anymore. From now on, she is Ms. Yeager, which has been


    deliberately ordered by Mr. Yeager,” another ser vant warned.


    “I already feel that she will be difficult to serve even before she arrives… Will our life be smooth? Is she


    going to boss around us?” They could help toin.


    “Let’s leave it up to fate. After all, she is our boss. Since Mr. Yeager favors her, we mustn’t offend her.


    Let’s focus on doing our work well.”


    The ser vants couldn’t help but whisper while working.


    After helping Jane clean up, Beryl apanied Yvette to rx in the yard.


    The environment was elegant, but no one was in the mood to appreciate it.


    “Mom, forget it. It’s fortunate enough that Violet didn’t make us move out.” Beryl said calmly, “As for the


    future, let’s take it step by step. Who knows who will have thestugh? Violet has no emotional


    connection with Dad, and Dad is not a fool. It’s just for the sake of interests.”


    “Is there any chance that the situation will change in the future?” Yvette muttered to herself, who


    suddenly lost her confidence by saying, “Xayah is moving in too. What if Xayah and your father are


    back together?”


    This should be the most worrying problem for Yvette.


    “What love can there be for people in their forties or fifties?” Berylforted Yvette and continued,


    “Maybe this Xayah is already remarried because she was still young when she was abandoned by


    Dad. At that time, she was in her early twenties.”


    Beryl made a valid point, and Yvette sighed in relief, feeling somewhat better.


    When Beryl returned upstairs, she opened herputer and retrieved the photos of Jack that she had


    collected yesterday. Beryl flipped through them one by one, feeling an overwhelming sense of unease


    in her heart.


    She couldn’t help wondering, ‘Why did I run away from the marriage?


    What a regret!


    Is it bad to be the wife of the first conglomerate in the empire?


    Many women are desiring for the title. But at that time, Beryl thought Jack wouldn’t attend the wedding


    and would neverpromise. She didn’t want to be abandoned by Jack in front of the whole world, so


    she tried to escape from the marriage.


    Another reason was that the Yancey manor was rumored to be haunted. Beryl had encountered some


    terrifying posts on forums describing the haunting experiences.


    The wealthy family had many secrets, and Beryl didn’t want to die…


    Knowing that Jack didn’t live in the old mansion at all and he even attended the wedding held in the


    church, Beryl couldn’t suppress her regret anymore.


    If the wedding had proceeded as nned, perhaps it would be Beryl standing beside Jack, and Violet


    would have no connection to Jack whatsoever!


    Violet embarrassed the Yanceys at the wedding venue and even pped Jack’s face. But Jack chose


    not to me Violet, which indicated Jack’s good-natured personality and that he was an affectionate


    man and would make a good husband. Beryl thought if she had married Jack that day, maybe Jack


    would gradually fall in love with her too.


    But it was toote. Beryl could only make up for it and find a way to turn the tide.


    When Beryl realized Jack and Violet hadn’t got married, Beryl began to make up her mind.


    She stood in front of the minor and gased at her reflection Beryl couldn’t help but feel she was also


    beautifulpared to Dody. There was even a slight resemnce between them in their facial teamies


    Then an do came into Beryl mind She would reim what belonged to her before!

    slightly changed as at she was thinking about something


    When the number called again, Violet answered, “Hello”

    The contract has been signest. You won’t change your mind, will you?” The person on the other end


    suddenly felt anxious, she bait seen her for a long time. “Have you sorted out your personal matters?


    Are you ready to start working?”


    Thank you for your concern. It’s almost done” Violet replied, “Are you free tomorrow afternoon?”


    Acmally he had a very important meeting, but he still responded, “I’m free,” omalby,


    NOVINY Omorrow afternoon. After saying that, Violet hung up.


    Voley put down her phone and held the mouse to revise the design draft.


    The Yancey Group


    In the president’s office, Jack had already left for the day. Due to his eye condition, he never worked


    overtime.


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Michael was still in the office right now. He had just got an important piece of information that left him


    shocked.


    After hesitating for a while, he finally chaled Jack’s number, as he couldn’t wait until tomorrow.


    77e sustion was too important, so it should be reported immediately.


    M: Yancey, ourpetitor, Grande Group, has signed a contract with Alyssa,” Michael eximed in


    shock and regret.


    What Jack raised his voice and continued, “How is that possible?” Jack was also rarely shocked.


    In the bonful vi of Goldbay Estate, Jack stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with one hand in


    his pocket and fowned


    m. The confirmed it. The contract was signed a week ago, but it seems like Alyssa hasn’t started


    working at thepany yet, answerest Michael.


    Didn’t Alyssa say she wouldn’te to Rheinsville City for development?” Jack put forward his


    confusion.


    Michael med tofort him and replied, “Well, people’s thoughts can always change.”


    Then why is it Grande Group?” Jack was unwilling to ept it.


    Michael and, “Because we didn’t express tenti


    to sign her, nor did we make any effort to contact Alyssa. If we had contact with her and she was willing


    toe to Rheinsville City for development, Alyssa would definitely choose ourpany I seems that


    Grande Group was more proactive in this matter”


    It


    Jack was left speechless


    Michael added, “Mr. Yancey, Ive inquired about it. Grande Group offered Alyssa a significantly higher


    pricepared to our chief designer’s annual sry


    I can sign Alyssa, I will offer three times that amount, Jack blurted out.


    Michael sghest and didn’t know what to say


    They be spent a lot of money” Jack couldn’t ept it, ‘Grande Group’s design department has always


    been formidable, on par with ourpany. Now with Alyssa joining them, it will be much easier for


    them to surpass in the market this year”


    Jack started to worry.


    Michael also sighed and furthered, “We received this information toote. I guess Alyssa doesn’t know


    much about the Grande Group. In fact, many of their transactions are suspected of being illegal, and


    everyone in the industry knows it. Still, Grande Group hasn’t threatened anyone, and they are powerful


    themselves, so no one has taken action against them”


    “Alyssa is interested in their design department team, not thepany itself” Jack thought for a while


    and made up his judgment before saying, “Grande Group has several renowned designers. They are


    highly skilled. This makes them morepetitive.”


    “Mr. Yancey, I’ll try to see if I can contact Alyssa. It might be difficult, but I will try it. Grande Group will


    probably keep Alyssa’s information under wraps. She might not even go to the office. No one will know


    her true identity,” Michael proposed.


    “Let’s leave it to fate,” Jack said calmly.


    Jack liked Alyssa’s design very much. If other designers could score eight points, hers could score nine


    points for sure.


    In Jack’s eyes, there were still no perfect scores.


    “Even though Alyssa has already signed with them, it doesn’t hurt to try it and build a friendship. Who


    knows, maybe she will consider switching in the future?” Michael began to think positively, “I believe


    Alyssa will be willing to be friends with you because you understand her designs the best.”
