Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Was he not downstairs? Why had he appeared behind her? Jack glanced at her small, bruised face and started walking casually. “Mr. Yancey,” Zoey greeted hurriedly before glancing at the two of them. She then headed downstairs alone. Violet looked away and took a step towards the stairs. She did not wish to rebut him. Did it matter whether or not she had overestimated herself? Jack followed her, talking in a cool tone with his eyes on the back of her head. “If my life were a movie, you’re the advertisement that pops up.” Violet halted. She turned around with a frown. Jack, who was behind her, stopped walking as well. He looked down and met her gaze from his considerable height. “So don’t think you’re all that. One should truly know oneself.” “You’re the one who thinks you’re all that, alright?” Violet retorted disdainfully, “My life is a movie as well and you’re not even an advertisement.” Saying this, she raised her chin and turned towards the stairs once more with a haughty attitude. She was angry! “Aren’t your injuries serious? How can you walk so quickly?” Jack laughed at her. “None of your business.” NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Jack chuckled and followed her from behind. “Spare the rod and spoil the child. Your father truly spared the rod.” Violet had reached the landing. She halted and spun around. “Don’t bring him up! I don’t have a father!” Violet said fiercely. “Right, a rock broke open and you jumped out from it. You don’t have a father, that’s why you don’t have manners.” “Where I jump out from is none of your business!” Violet emphasized, “What about you? I have a father who doesn’t love me! Has your father ever loved you? Can he even love you? We’re not that different so stop ridiculing me!” Jack stood still as his expression shifted slightly. His smile had vanished without a trace.

Violet could sense a slow built-up of danger from the way he looked, as though she had rubbed salt on a wound. She felt startled for a moment and did not know what to do. At that moment, a black Volvo drove into the courtyard. Zoey hurriedly went to the living hall doors. Hearing the commotion, Violet looked out the French window. It was Jack’s grandfather’s car. Jack saw it too. Why had his grandfather come? Moments later, Zephyr opened the car door. Senior Yancey got out of the car with his cane. He was in lively spirits and there was a beam on his face. He looked to be in an excellent mood. However, Jack was buckling. Why had his grandfather come without notifying him beforehand? “Hide quickly!” He looked at Violet and ordered. Violet snapped back to her senses. “Why should I hide? I’m not a thief, I didn’t do anything wrong!” “You…” Jack wanted to hit something. Zoey bowed and greeted Senior Yancey with great respect as he entered the living hall, “Good morning, sir.” Senior Yancey could see the two young people standing not far from him with just a glance. He gasped. “Vi?” He had almost failed to recognize her due to the clothes she was wearing. Whose clothes were these? They were so ill-fitting. He walked towards her with his cane. Violet’s dark eyes gazed at him. “Good morning, grandpa.” “Why are you here?” The old man was very happy. Did she stay the night? As he drew closer, Senior Yancey suddenly tensed up. “Heavens! What happened? Why are you so heavily injured?” He turned his face up to look at his beloved grandson, who was on the second floor. “What happened? How did Vi get hurt?” 11:14 1/2

Chapter 24 Violet remained calm. She lowered her head slightly. Senior Yancey came before her and held her arm. “What are you wearing? Aren’t these…. Aren’t these Zoey’s clothes?” His voice was filled with worry, “What on earth happened? Did Jack do this to you?! Tell me quickly, I’ll stand up for you!” Violet was secretly happy with how angry Jack’s grandfather was. “No!” Jack sped down the stairs. “Theo Yeager had sent men to kill her, but Michael saved her. I took her in!” Senior Yancey frowned. He looked at his beloved grandson before turning to Violet. “Theo Yeager’s men?” Violet gave Jack a glance before replying to Senior Yancey in a hurtful tone, “He played a part too! He dumped me by the side of the road after we had dinner yesterday. It was already very late. How dangerous was it for a young girl like me?”
