Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 142

After hanging up, Samantha put down her phone and gently shook the glass of wine with her pretty fingers. A malicious smile appeared on her face.

Samantha murmured in her heart, Violet has been taken into hospital. Then I’ll make her unable to walk out of it!

If anything happens, the hospital will take the blame for it!’

Samantha knew clearly that Josef’s love for Violet was deepening and Violet was definitely not easy to deal with. If she married Jack, Violet would only pose the greatest threat to Samantha.

Samantha already had a plan. After she got rid of Violet, she would prove to Josef that there was something wrong with Jack’s eyes. Then Jack would be forced to leave the company for some time to treat his eyes. As long as he left the company, it would be difficult for him to come back again… By then, Liam would be ready to replace him at any time.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Samantha looked up at the bright moon in the sky as if everything was under her control.

And it would only become better.

Outside, it was getting darker.

Meanwhile, in the VIP high-care ward of the Paramount Hospital, there were bright lights.

Violet and Jack just had a substantial and nutritious dinner.

And Jack was there with her all the time.

It was dark outside. Jack couldn’t leave at this time. More importantly, he didn’t want to go. It surely would be a long night for Violet, especially when she didn’t know how to spend it with Jack.

“How do you feel? Does it still hurt?” Jack asked with concern.

Violet shook her head and answered, “It doesn’t hurt. The medicine works well. When can I be discharged from the hospital?”

“When you’re completely recovered.” Jack said, “Don’t worry, okay? I will stay here with you and take good care of you.”

Violet was surprised to hear that. After all, Jack was such a workaholic.

She just couldn’t believe her ears!

“Don’t look at me with questioning eyes. I mean it.” Jack said in a gentle tone, “From tomorrow on, you don’t have to take any medicine from the hospital. Just Dr. Gordon’s specific medicine. They have no side effects. You can rest assured.”

“Then I can be discharged,” Violet said while imagining how embarrassed she would be to stay with Jack all the time.

But Jack shook his head and responded, “Your ankle is injured and you can’t walk. I have the whole floor guarded, and you’ll be totally safe here.”

“The whole floor?” Violet was shocked.

“Yeah.”

“You are rich. Violet couldn’t help exclaiming, “Money talks.”

“You got hurt because of me. I must protect you until the truth is found and all dangers are eradicated,” Jack said seriously.

“What if it’s your stepmother?” Violet looked up at him and asked, “What are you going to do?”

Jack looked into Violet’s eyes this time and said directly, “I’ll do whatever I can do to protect you. After all, I have put up with her for a long time.”

“Are you having a bad relationship with her?” Violet asked, even though she knew this question was a little redundant.

After a pause, Jack said slowly, “In this world, there is no one who has a good relationship with me, except my Grandpa. People I know are either partners of interest or enemies. People with a good relationship with me are quite countable.”

“What about me?” Violet stared at him and added, “How do you define our relationship? Partners? Or enemies?”

Jack didn’t think too much about it. “Same kind.”

Violet agreed with this definition and thought it was the most appropriate one.

“So we’re friends?” Violet smiled and said, “Actually I’m willing to be your friend.” Jack was the only one in the world who truly appreciate her designs. He gave her nine out of ten, and he could help her improve.

But too many things happened between them after they met. They even had sex. Could they still be friends?

Violet was afraid that it would only be an embarrassing relationship for both of them.

Seeing Violet silently, Jack couldn’t help but recall those things they had been through together. He wanted to tell her that he had already made a definition of their relationship in his heart. She was not just his friend but the perfect Mrs. Yancey he had been looking for all his life.

However, it wasn’t easy for Jack to gain Violet’s trust, let alone win her heart.

So he must be patient and wait until she was willing to marry him.

“Well, there’s one more thing I want to know.” Violet thought it was a good time for a talk.

Jack sat down in the chair and looked at her. “Tell me.”

“How much is the project messed up today?” she asked directly.

Looking into her eyes, Jack answered truthfully, “If the contract is signed successfully, we will make a profit of at least 100 million dollars.”

“I have one more question. Violet whispered, “I heard that Alyssa is coming to Rheinsville City. How much do you think she can bring to the Yancey Group?”

Jack was stunned and thought, “How did she know that?”

“Answer me.” Violet stared at him sincerely.

Jack said calmly, “She has already signed a contract with the Grande Group. So I won’t answer the hypothetical question.”

Violet’s heart ski pped a beat. She thought, ‘How did he know that?

Did he get the news from someone?

Or he has been keeping an eye on Alyssa?’

“To be honest, this is my biggest regret recently.” Jack sighed and looked a bit sad. “I have been looking for great designers in recent years, and I’ve seen a lot of designs from those famous designers worldwide. Some of them are just famous, and their designs have many flaws. I won’t even give them five out of ten.”

“And Alyssa can get nine of ten, right?” asked Violet.

“Yes.” Jack didn’t deny it. “She always has her own unique ideas about color matching and material selection, and her designs are always novel. She is a genius.”

“When did you start to pay attention to her work?” Violet posed another question.

“Ten years ago,” answered Jack.

Violet was surprised and thought, “It’s been so long.”

Jack continued, “I’ve always wanted to sign her, but she has always kept a low profile. And few people can contact her. One of my friends told me that she would not go back to Rheinsville City and there seemed to be a reason for that. When I heard from her again, she has already signed with the Grande Group.”

“So,” Violet asked, “If Alyssa doesn’t sign with the Grande Group and chooses the Yancey Group, how much do you think she can bring you?”

“No hypothetical questions.” Jack seemed a little disappointed.

“But I want to know your answer,” Violet said stubbornly.

Jack looked up and smiled. “It’s incalculable.” He didn’t think too much and said frankly, “To be honest, the Grande Group’s design department is the only thing that can compete with the Yancey Group. They are good at poaching famous designers from rival companies and hyping their fashion week, but it doesn’t mean that their design department can do better than ours. Now with the support of Alyssa, they will draw more attention. But I still think Alyssa won’t be able to realize her full potential there. After all, what they really care about is money, not those designers’ works.”

“Well…” Violet smiled and continued, “Alyssa’s contract with the Grande Group has been terminated.”

“Terminated?” Jack frowned and couldn’t believe it.

“It’s true.” Violet wasn’t joking.

Jack asked with a flash of disbelief in his eyes, “How did you know that? You know her?”
