Chapter 39
Chapter 39 “You don’t understand your father,” Yvette’s lips upturned coldly. “You can tell how cruel this man is by how he abandoned Nayah when she was pregnant, and how he kidnapped Violet only when he needed her for the arranged marriage. His interests come first; he’s close to whoever benefits him, and he destroys whoever becomes a threat to him. “Won’t he destroy Violet? She’s the main reason why the Yeagers have become like this!” Beryl was resentful. She did not want to take the fall. Yvette came to a sudden realization. “What’s the use of destroying her? Getting close to her, however, may be a different story. She’s close with the Yancey’s now.” Beryl felt flustered. She would no longer be the favored child if Violet were to really come back to the Yeagers. “What should we do? Mum, what should we do?” “We have to apologize sincerely and make sure we don’t provoke your dad. Think of ways to remind him of the good old days. He doesn’t have to kick us out because this villa is big enough. Maybe we should try to be on better terms with Violet. Whatever it is, we’re walking on thin ice from now on.” Beryl forced herself to calm down after hearing her mother’s words. That same night, Yvette instructed ser vants to send Beryl away so as to not worsen the situation. She did not want Theo to come home and blow his top again upon seeing Beryl. Her priority now was to preserve her position in the Yeager family. She was determined not to let Violet and Xayah take even half a step into the Yeager home. She could not accept a subservient life. Meanwhile, in the brightly lit mansion of Goldbay Estate.
Jack had gone upstairs after dinner. Violet sat alone on the couch in the living hall to watch some television programs. She flicked through the channels with the remote control. Zoey had just helped her apply her medicine. She had also taken her pills. The discomfort in her body had been alleviated a great deal; Dr. Gordon’s medicine was undeniably miraculous.
At that moment, the landline rang. Violet merely glanced at it. She then turned to see Zoey coming out. Zoey put the receiver to her ear and spoke softly, “Hello.” “Is Violet still there?” “Good evening, sir,” Zoey greeted respectfully. She lifted her eyes to look at the woman sitting on the couch. “She’s here, she’s here.” The old man felt relieved. Jack had not shooed her away. Violet looked at her bemusedly. Was it grandpa? “Have you guys had dinner?” Senior Yancey inquired. Zoey replied, “Yes,” “Did they eat together?” “Yes” “Are they happy with each other?” “Quite alright” Violet was confused. What was grandpa asking? Why was Zoey responding with such short answers? On the other end of the phone call, Senior Yancey was delighted to hear those words. A young man and a young lady living together under a roof were definitely going to lead to a good show. “Sir, Zoey gave Violet a glance and said softly, “Miss Yeager is here, watching the television. Do you wish to speak with her “Sure!” Senior Yancey was in a good mood. Zoey then put the receiver in front of Violet. “Miss Yeager, it’s from Senior Yancey” 1/2 10:52 Chapter 39 Violet stretched her hand out to take the receiver and asked cheerily, “Grandpa, have you eaten?” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Just did. Are you better? Did you eat and apply your medicine on time?” Senior Yancey was worried. Violet’s voice was as sweet as sugar. “I’m much better, thank you for your concern, grandpa. I’ve just taken my medicine and applied the paste.” “Is Jack watching telly with you?” Senior Yancey probed. “Nope, he has gone upstairs. He’s probably busy with work.” “He really doesn’t know how to be more attentive,” Senior Yancey grumbled. “No wonder he doesn’t have a girlfriend.” Violet laughed when she heard this. “Grandpa, has he been in a relationship before?” All of a sudden, she wanted to know. Humans were naturally curious beings, after all.
